"Wake up!" A loud voice rang through my ears.

"Wake up, it's quarter to twelve! How long do you plan to sleep?!" The voice grew closer, more irritated.

"Bitch! Wake up!" A sudden, ear-splitting yell made me jolt awake instantly.

My eyes struggled to adjust to the bright light, and as I blinked, two familiar faces came into focus. Confused, I sat up, my brows furrowing.

"Eunwoo? Yoona?" I muttered, scratching my neck groggily.

"Are you some kind of sleeping beauty or what? Just look at the time," Yoona scoffed, arms crossed.

"Tsk... I thought you were dead," Eunwoo mumbled under his breath, only to be smacked on the head by Yoona.

"Ouch! It hurts!" he whined, rubbing the sore spot.

"Girl, wash up and come. We're having breakfast together today," Yoona ordered, and by the look on her face, I knew she was dead serious.

"So..." Yoona sighed, placing her chopsticks down.

The atmosphere was oddly heavy, an awkward silence lingering between the three of us as we sat at the dining table.

"What the actual fuck?" Yoona suddenly snapped, her expression hard. "Why the hell are you dating In-Yeoup? And more importantly, why didn’t you tell us?"

I blinked, momentarily thrown off. "What? I'm dating him? Wait— I mean, yes, I am. But why are you so mad about it?"

"After four years of completely ignoring him, why are you suddenly dating him now?" Eunwoo pressed, staring at me intently.

"Because I like him. Now." I lied effortlessly, taking another bite of my food.

"You can't lie to us." Yoona’s voice was flat, unimpressed.

I clenched my jaw, irritation bubbling up inside me. "Why? Why do you guys act like I can't just like someone or have feelings anymore? How many times do I have to tell you? I've moved on. I'm not scared of him anymore. I want to live my life."
