as the night settled in, rina found herself back at their house, accompanied by her older brother and mark. they had made the decision to gather some clothes for their month-long stay at mark's, a plan they had devised to balance their time between their respective homes.
carrying a small travel bag, rina carefully selected a variety of sleepwear, casual tops, and a few skirts and dresses, taking into account the weather forecast and preparing for any unexpected plans that might arise. additionally, she made sure to bring her navy blue duffel bag, which held all her ballet essentials, including leotards, tights, skirts, tutus, and the necessary shoes for her ballet classes. she also packed accessories for her pointe shoes to enhance their comfort and a box of hair ties and bobby pins to keep her hair neatly styled. each item was folded with care and packed neatly into the bag, she threw in her makeup bag last minute, ensuring she had everything she might need.
"hyuckie! don't forget to turn off the lights," rina shouted from the first floor, her voice carrying through the house.
"m'kay!" haechan replied, grabbing his backpack and a small suitcase as if he were about to go on an overseas trip. inside were clothes that were badly folded and a collection of skincare products he didn't dare leave behind.
meanwhile, mark took rina's belongings from her, unwilling to let her carry anything heavy. his gentlemanly nature prevailed, even though rina couldn't help but feel that he would do the same for any girl, not just her.
"all done, let's go," haechan announced as he locked the door and the gates behind them, making sure everything was secure.
together, they made their way to mark's house in comfortable silence as the moon followed them closely.
upon arrival, mrs. lee offered the guest room to rina, while mark shared his own room with his best friend, haechan. the moment rina stepped into the guest room, she was greeted by a pretty palette of soft pastel colors. delicate floral wallpaper adorned the walls, while large windows draped in lace curtains allowed gentle moonlight to filter in, casting a white glow throughout the room.
the focal point of the room was a plush queen-sized bed with crisp white linens and an abundance of fluffy pillows. heaven! its inviting presence made rina want to sink into its embrace, promising a restful slumber after a long day. a bedside table with a porcelain lamp stood nearby, everything felt homey. although, it was nothing like her room– her room had a color scheme that revolves around bold, eye-catching hues, such as vibrant oranges and rich purples. she will definitely miss it.
as rina prepared for the night, she slipped into a silky robe, reveling in the smoothness of the fabric as it enveloped her. she washed up and brushed her teeth before falling into a dreamless sleep.

"good morning, riri!" haechan greeted his little sister with a lazy hug.
"morning," she mumbled back, still half-asleep.
"hey milk, you done in there?" haechan called out to the boy in the bathroom.
"hold on, dude, almost finished," mark replied.
after a minute of waiting, mark emerged from the bathroom, towel loosely hanging on his hips, it was dangerously low, revealing his chiseled abs. his hair was dripping wet from the shower. rina, now fully awake, couldn't help but take in the unexpected view in front of her before letting out a shriek.
"aahhhhhh!"
"what's wrong, rina? is everything okay?" mina shouted from the other room, concerned.
"uhmm, y-yeah! i'm abs- i mean, absolutely fine mrs. lee," rina stammered, quickly retreating to her room. "ugh, stupid!" she muttered, banging her head with a closed fist in frustration.

"come on rina, we're gonna be late," mark chided the girl impatiently.
"okay, chill", rina retorted, matching his scoff with one of her own.
haechan, the self-proclaimed passenger princess, settled into the back seat, clutching his backpack to his chest and attempting to catch a nap.
the two boys had stayed up all night playing games, not the smartest decision considering they had school the next day, but it had been a fun night nonetheless. mark's a music major and so is haechan; haechan's in the singing department.
rina opened the front seat door and placed her duffel bag on her lap, absentmindedly scrolling through instagram on her phone.
mark clicked his tongue disapprovingly and leaned in to fasten her seat belt. in a matter of seconds, his body pressed against hers as he effortlessly secured the belt. rina's breath hitched at the unexpected closeness, a challenge for someone trying her best to move on.
"thanks," she whispered quietly.
"whatever, i don't want you dying on me," he muttered, revving up the engine as they set off.

"how was ballet?" haewon inquired, the three went to relax on their secret space, the hideout.
"tiring, but good. we had to do 30 spins, and i was so dizzy by the end of it," rina huffed. she was now clad in a hot pink juicy couture tracksuit, her vibrant orange hair cascading down. her top was partially cropped, revealing her toned abs earned from years of ballet, and her belly button adorned with a bling-bling butterfly piercing.
"ouch, that must have hurt," ahyeon winced.
"what's hurting?" rina asked.
"your nail, boo," ahyeon pointed to rina's broken acrylic nails that didn't match the length of the rest of the set.
"it did! i almost cried. i spent two hours doing my nails," rina shook her head at the memory.
"how did it break?" ahyeon asked as she got up and instinctively started braiding one side of rina's hair.
"it got caught in the fruit basket we gave to mrs. lee."
"anywhales, have i mentioned that i'm staying at mark's place for a month?" rina continued.
"girl, is this why you asked if you could crash at our house for a month and have a sleepover?" haewon gasped, covering her mouth.
ahyeon's braiding suddenly tightened.
