You're My World (Kazujin/Shinez)

Chapter 7

The next day, Yunjin's cold behavior toward Kazuha left the girl feeling perplexed. She had believed that they had grown closer after the events of the previous night, but Yunjin's distant attitude was disheartening.

Meanwhile, Garam continued to stick close to Kazuha, taking every opportunity to be near her.

When Garam volunteered to send the girl to their training place, Yunjin refused, claiming she had something else to do.

Sakura, sensing the tension, decided to accompany Yunjin, leaving Kazuha with Garam. The situation had taken an unexpected turn, and the dynamics within the group seemed to be shifting.

Kazuha found herself lost in thought, wondering if something she had done the previous night had upset Yunjin.

She considered whether her hug might have been the cause, as she wasn't particularly fond of physical affection.

However, she wished Yunjin had communicated her feelings instead of resorting to a cold shoulder.

Garam noticed Kazuha deep in thought, her expression reflecting her inner turmoil.

Curious about what might be bothering her, Garam decided not to press her for answers, sensing that it might be a sensitive issue.

After completing their volunteer training, Chaewon, Eunchae, and Kazuha decided to grab a meal before heading back home.

When they returned, Sakura and Garam warmly greeted them, asking about their experiences during the second day of volunteering.

The evening continued with Kazuha, Chaewon, and Eunchae sharing their exciting experiences from the volunteer training with Sakura and Garam.

They talked animatedly about the friends they had made and the fun they were having in Korea.

However, Kazuha's lingering sadness due to Yunjin's absence couldn't be ignored. She decided to go about her evening routine, washing up and tending to her tasks.

As she prepared to retire to her room, which was located next to Yunjin's, she couldn't help but cast a glance at Yunjin's closed bedroom door, wondering if she was inside.

Ultimately, she chose not to intrude and headed into her own room, hoping for a resolution to the tension that had arisen between them.

Garam was rudely awakened in the middle of the night and was about to express her annoyance when she saw Sakura, Eunchae, and Chaewon standing before her. She couldn't help but wonder why they were waking her up at this hour.

Chaewon quickly explained the situation, revealing that Kazuha was missing again, but this time they were certain about her whereabouts. They needed Garam to accompany them in their search.

Eunchae would remain at home because Yunjin was unaware of the situation, and Sakura wanted her to get some rest, knowing she often struggled with sleep.

Garam agreed, and the three of them left the house, instructing Eunchae to lock the door and not open it until they returned.

Eunchae nodded in understanding, urging them to stay safe before locking the door behind them.

Garam was taken aback when Chaewon mentioned that Kazuha was at a bar, especially since she didn't know that Kazuha drank.

Garam: (Concerned) Kazuha is at a bar? I didn't even know she drank."

Chaewon quickly covered by suggesting that Kazuha was there to de-stress, but she felt foolish for not knowing more about her friend's issues.

Chaewon: (Nervously) Well, you see, she's been under a lot of stress lately, and we think she might have gone there to, you know, unwind a bit."
