    THE SUN WAS BEGINING TO RISE, some of the rays somehow making there way through the curtains of Sohee's dorm...but she arrived unmoving, still sleeping peacefully. Well...that was until the blaring sound of alarm, brings her back to reality and away from the dream she was having. Sohee groans out of annoyance, her hand fumbling to stop the ear piercing sound. When she finally presses the stop buttom silence envelops her once again and she was soon enough back in the arms of sleep.

    An hour or so goes by before Sohee's phone begins to vibrate and once more she groans as her hand fumbled to grab the vibrating device. Without looking at the contact name, she answers it, pressing the device to her ear "Hello?" She spoke, voice still thick with sleep "Yah! Kim Sohee...where are you?" Sohee flinches slightly at Minhee's loud voice (pulling the phone away from her ear as she did). She exhales deeply "I'm at my dorm...sleeping." she answered, her other hand going up to rub away the resdiual sleep from her eyes. Minhee heaves out sigh "Class has started, Sohee...you're late." 

   And just like that Sohee is wide awake, once Minhee's words finally process in her brain "Shoot, Shoot....Shoot!" Sohee expressed loudly as she springs out of bed, stumbling around her room stuffing hertextbooks in her bag, putting on one of her baggy hoodies over her plain white t-shrit (to cover up the fact that she wasn't wearing a bra) and grabbed her glasses from the nightsand (since she didn't have enough time to put her contacts in), before rushing to her Calculus class.

    Once Sohee is finally standing just outside her class, she's breathing heavy and a fine layer of sweat coats her back; she inhales and exhales deeply, trying to even out her breathing and slow the pounding of her heart as she pulled her messy hair into a low bun, before finally opening the door. Immediately everyone's eyes are on Sohee and she could feel embarrassment wash over her "Well...nice of you to finally join us, Ms. Kim." Mr. Nam spoke, causing Sohee to bow multiple time, muttering apologies before going to where Minhee was sat.

    "Girl, what happened? You're never late." Minhee whispered yelled as Sohee took the seat beside her, placing her bag on the floor. She breathes out a sigh, basically sinking into the chair "I stayed up late studying and working on some assignments." She answered, pulling out her teaxbooks and laptop from her bag. Minhee hums in reasponse, before turning her attention back to Mr. Nam. And just a few rows behind the two girls, Wooyoung's gaze had followed Sohee, until she sat next Minhee and he scoffs at the sight...not beliving she had willingly sat next to someone like Minhee. "Only disappointment and heartache will follow." He spoke under his breath, directing the words toward Sohee.

    By time early afternoon strikes Sohee and Minhee had found themselves in the library, studying a bit for their classes. But Sohee's hand abruptly stops moving across the page, when she suddenly remembers what Dosom had told her yesterday. She clears her throat, setting her pen down before speaking "Hey, Minhee..." Sohee started and she hummed in reasponse "Can I ask you something?" Minhee looks up from her laptop, gaze locking with hers "Yeah sure...whats up?" She replied with a small smile. Sohee swallows thickly, her right hand fidgeting with the corners of the pages in her textbook "What do you know about Jung Wooyoung?"

    Minhee visibly tenses at the mention of his name as she awkwardly laughs before saying "Why do you want to know more about him?" Sohee shrugs "Just for curiosity sake." Minhee scoffs lightly, crossing her arms over her chest "Ever heard of the saying 'curiosity killed the cat', Sohee?" The girls found herself taken aback by Minhee's condescending tone. Nevertheless Sohee smiles, proping her chin atop her palm "Yes, I have...but whats life without a little curiosity." She challenged. Minhee takes her bottom lip between her teeth, gaze turning down to the table...trying to decide wether or not she should tell Sohee.

    The raven haired breathes out a sigh before she she finally began speaking "In highschool Wooyoung and I...were close, but that all changed when he had told me about the incident." Sohee nods slowly "What incident?" She asked wanting Minhee to continue "It happened three years ago...Wooyoung and his friend went to a college party...so they obviously had a few drinks, and after the party Wooyoung volenteered to drive them home...one thing lead to another." Minhee exhales deeply "His friend died in that car accident...and he was the cause for it."

    Sohee remained silent processing Minhee's words and once they had, she remembered somthing specific that Dosom had told her yesterday. 'Reputation and rumors...rumors'  She thought as that word had started to make more sense in this situation. Sohee didn't know why...but she didn't trust Minhee's words "But what about these supposed rumors going around?" She asked and Minhee just shrugged "Don't know." She answered...but Sohee didn't trust that either; Ji Minhee was hiding something and she wanted to know what, but not from her...but from the person that had been there first hand.
