Just College

At 11:00am prompt, the aspiring students began their first batch of the exams. The first day was the written examinations, the second was the oral examinations and presentations and the third and final day was the exams on ethics and mannerisms.

They were in for a long ride. The parents and guardians were all ushered into the school hall, as they waited and prayed for their kids to pass and finish. Damin wasn't an exception. Daya had left a while ago when the students were asked to leave but she promised to lurk around and be a call away. That was sort of calming her nerves.

Please, pass for me, my pumpkin.

The school corridors were mostly empty, just little to no students hanging around. Daya liked the silence, she walked up the stairs and just went up and up. It was like relieving some stress. Her mom wasn't the only one who wanted Dayeon to pass, she badly wanted her to pass too. She was 20 already and needed to enter another phase of her life.

She was brought back to her reality when she saw Seungmin. He had just stepped out one of the lab rooms. They paused at the same time. She wanted to ask what he was doing at school but refrained from doing so as a girl stepped out from behind him. She was definitely his year, with the black and red hair, she recognised her as Ahyeoul. A senior she shared a room with when she was a fresher, in her first semester.

Play it cool. You don't know any of them.

Dayeon bowed her head to them in respect as they were her seniors and proceeded to walk away.

"Daya", Ahyeoul called and the girl almost cursed every unfortunate luck of hers. She stopped and turned to her with a smile, "Yes, sunbae?"

Ahyeoul bent down, "Your card", she held the blue visa card in her hand.

Just my fucking luck.

Avoiding to look at Seungmin, she did a walk of shame back to them and collected her card. "Thank you so much, Ahyeoul sunbae"

"It's okay. How have you been?. It's been long I last saw you"

Cut the crap.

Ahyeoul showed her hell with the other senior she bagged as a roommate for that semester. Who was she acting for?. Daya moved her eyes to Seungmin. Obviously, it was him. Ass kissers were real. Bang Chan should meet her. She looked away from him. "Me too. It's been long I last saw you since we roomed. Take care", she bowed and walked away, hand tightening on her card. Meeting Ahyeoul brought back memories.

"Let's go", Seungmin said and the girl nodded, walking with him.

Daya turned to glare at them before walking up the next flight of stairs. Opening her phone's pouch, she slipped her card into it. The blue colour made her wish Ahyeoul wasn't a black card owner. She stomped her feet on the steps till she got on the corridor.

Sighing softly, Daya walked closer to the balcony. Strands of her hair flew in the wind as she dared to look down. Giggling at the height that could be the death of someone. It's been a long time since she last came up to the toppest floors on this building. Only freshers had lectures in the labs and classrooms on this building. Very soon, her Dayeon will be one of them.

Hopefully. Just hopefully.

"Daya"

The girl turned around, brows furrowing at the boy. Wasn't he like below her minutes ago?.
