WINTER'S POV

I woke up feeling weird, and I knew it could be for multiple reasons. As I stared at my ceiling fan I remembered everything that had happened last night, from us arguing about my mental problems to me crying, and then to me kissing Karina. We had talked about so many things last night, and for the first time I had actually cried in front of Karina, which was obviously embarrassing for me.

But thinking back on it I knew Karina hadn't judged me, she had actually seemed a bit happy.

I sat up in my bed, feeling the sleep fall off of me as I glanced at my clock. I had slept pretty late, which meant that Karina and I had stayed up pretty last night.

But I was still so confused about everything.

All the things she had said and showed to me, I definitely would need a lot of time to think about them. Karina knew a lot more than I used to give her credit for, but now after having that talk with her last night... maybe giving what she had said a second thought would be helpful.

I smelt fresh coffee brewing in the kitchen, knowing Karina was already up and possibly waiting for me to join her. I remembered kissing her last night before we had gone to bed, and the reason as to why I had done that was still a bit fuzzy.

Why had I kissed her?

I wasn't drunk, although I had been a bit buzzed I was still very in control of myself, so that wasn't it. It obviously wasn't because we had been in a heated argument, or in a very close embrace, so the mood hadn't been set for a kiss either.

But in that moment before she disappeared into Jungwoo's room I wanted her to go to bed thinking about me, so maybe that's where the kiss had come from.

I lifted myself from my bed then, walking slowly over to my bathroom and hopping into the shower. I washed quickly, not wanting to keep Karina waiting too long, besides, I wouldn't be able to see her tonight before Jungwoo got home.

It was my first night on the job.

As much as I wanted Karina to show up tonight I knew she wouldn't, simply because it would be a little weird. I didn't blame her for not wanting to show up, but it did depress me a little.

Seeing her face there would mean a lot, and realizing that only confused me even more.

I hopped out the shower and dried, throwing on a pair of soffee shorts and a T-shirt, realizing I had nothing to do until later anyway.

Then I felt my phone buzz.

I expected it to be Ningning or Jungwoo, but definitely not Yeji.

Yeji texted, What are you doin' tonight?

I rolled my eyes, realizing she had totally forgotten that it was my first night at Jinx's. I typed back, I told you I had work tonight.

It took her a little while to respond, Oh, okay, well never mind. Have a good night at work. XX

I threw my phone on my bed, knowing that she was either doing this to piss me off or... to fucking piss me off. She had ignored me almost all break and then she sends me a total of two text messages in the last five days?

Seriously?

I shook it off, realizing I needed to end it with Yeji soon to spare anymore hard feelings, but getting around to it seemed impossible.

It's like she knew what was going to happen, so she was avoiding me.

I walked out into the kitchen only to see Karina and all her natural beauty sitting at my counter. Her dark hair was up in a pony-tail, and her over-sized T and pajama shorts just made her look even more stunning.
