Back reaching the hotel, we all had our rooms lined up next to each other, so it was just perfect when we needed to sneak into each other's room, especially those lovebirds Sejeong and Hyunjin. Wondering why they didn't just roomie together, but Sejeong wanted to be with her little besties, aka me. And maybe Haneul. She doesn't know Haneul like that but she will after this. And I just know Sejeong will be out the whole time with Hyunjin, Felix, and Bangchan, the other three rooming next to us. The whole pair plus the guy we were talking about rooming together. How sweet and almost just perfect. (I'm being really fucking sarcastic right now.)

A ton of noise is heard down this hall due to how obnoxious and loud these boys are, and we all got sticky notes on our door from the workers at the front desk saying 'Please tone it down, Noise complaints have been sent!" Written in Korean. It was funny to read, just me and Haneul, and we put it in my bag, leaving it for memories. We decided to tell Sejeong to bring back the other sticky notes for Haneul to keep, and if Sejeong is kiddish enough, she can have the other one.

I lay on the bed, closing my eyes. It's like my eyes have been waiting to close almost all day. Haneul doesn't interfere, but she becomes a mom suddenly and tells me to change first before I sleep. "But Mom, I'm tired. Can you pass me some clothes?" She laughed at the way I called her mom, and I sat on the bed, my eyes closed as I waited for her to come around with my clothes.

She set my clothes on the bed turning the AC on as she returned to her suitcase. "I'm going to shower. Goodnight, kid." She smiles, which I can barely see, opening my eyes to see a dark room once she closes the light. The only thing lighting the room is the shower and how the door is unlocked for Sejeong because she's sure she forgot the key. But she walks in almost 10 minutes later. I change out, having a little bit of decency, putting the clothes on the chair by the desk in the room. 

I lay on the bed, and just completely shut everything out till Sejeong runs her hand through my hair. "You okay? I heard and saw everything, honey." I look up at her, turning around as she sits at the corner of the bed like a mom. Everyone here is like a family member to me. They treat me like I'm young because I'm 2 months younger than Haneul.

"I'm okay. I just became tired because I didn't sleep at all." She smiles, and it's so cute to see her smile. She jumps into bed next to me, hugging me. "You sure? There's something we should talk about." She sits up, pats my head, and looks at me. "There is nothing to be afraid of here. You can share anything here. It's all serious business here."

She's always reassuring, and I love that. I let her know about how I felt when I got the message from Felix, and when we talked when we got off the plane, and even the bus ride to get the car was even more chatter, but about stupid shit, and because Haneul just felt the need that we should chat because he was sitting in front of me. But his gaze was just on me, and I know damn well I was not nervous. What a fucking captain.

"So you have feelings? Is this what I'm hearing?" "No! I was just fucking nervous, I don't like Felix. I swear." She smiles and looks away, out the window. It's like she knows something. But I don't feel it I swear. It's just that.. gaze. his eyes. They do something, seriously. But I don't like him. "You could like him, but you're just denying it. This trip isn't over yet, so we'll just see what happens okay? Don't get worked up over it, and ignore Haneul's shenanigans. She's just messing with you and your head." She sticks her pointer finger out, taping me in the dead center of my stomach, to my head while speaking. I smile, looking at how she reassures me.

Sejeong stretches her legs while making stretching noises we all make. I look at her and laugh. "I'll leave space for Han. So let's sleep, and she'll sleep next to me. Or do you want to be in the middle? What's the sleeping plan?" She asks with a bright smile on her face. I'll let Sejeong sleep at the edge so she can get up early and do mom things for us before we wake up. I tell her to go to the edge, so we trade places.

I close my eyes immediately hugging her back, not opening them. Haneul and Sejeong were conversing about something, and it made me feel nice that they were getting along well. As expected, they both are sweethearts and can communicate well with the unknown. I could feel Haneul hop into bed, and hug me as well. Sejeong turned around and let me hug her, chest to chest, and it felt nice. Girls night cuddling type shit. I loved it.
