It's been a while, the orientation should be over should be over Right? How are things so far? Have you made any friends yet?
Hi Mom, yes the orientation ended Like 10 minutes ago And yes I made a friend, we're about to go to this cafe she knows
Good, but don't drink too much coffee You know how you get
Yes Mom I know you you don't have to remind me 😒 Also, guess who I saw earlier
Who?
HEESEUNG, he's here and he swears I followed him B.S.
Really? Oh, that's right I forgot that his mother told me He'd be going to that school after your graduation 😬
And you failed to mention that as you handed me a brochure for this college?! Saying "You'll love everything about this place"!?!?
Must be my age finally catching up with me...😅 You know I don't even remember who I'm talking to.
Ya nice try Mom 😒 Anyway, I gtg we're at the shop now.
Ok, text me later I love you.
Love you too Mom. Tell Dad I said hi.

"Who was that?" Minhee asked.
"Just my mom checking up on me and explaining she knew Heeseung would be here but forgot." she groaned.
"Your mom sounds hilarious." she giggled.
"When she remembers the important stuff," she admitted.
They approached the counter to an exhausted-looking employee waiting for their order. "So what'll be?" he asked.
"I'll have a Caramel Macchiato with extra cream," Minhee began, "and she'll have-"
"Just a chocolate muffin please," she answered.
"Name for the order?" The employee inquired.
"Minhee," she responded. They walked over to a table outside waiting for their order and began a conversation that Minhee initiated first.
"So tell me, are you living in the dorms or living off campus? I'll be in the dorms.''
"No, I have a place like ten minutes away from campus."
"I wish my parents trusted me to have my apartment, they trust me anymore since I dyed my brother's hair green in his sleep, and took pictures to show everyone." she pouted, crossing her arms.
Yunju was momentarily, caught off-guard then laughed for what seemed like forever.
"I didn't expect you to say that," she breathlessly exclaimed "You can stay over at my place whenever you want, just ask first."
"Really? Thank you Yunnie!" she shouted.
"Order for Minhee!" an employee shouted.
"Oh BRB, let me get my drink." She got up and walked off leaving Yunju alone.
'It's nice to have an actual conversation with a person for once,' She thought watching Minhee from afar.
Minhee returned shortly after with her phone in hand.
"Here, put in your number." She handed her phone to Yunju. She put in her number and then handed it back.
Minhee saved it and sent a quick message then put her phone away and started sipping her drink.
"Are you thinking of joining any clubs?"
"Yes, I'm thinking of maybe joining the cooking and photography club, since those things are my specialties."
"Really? Then maybe I'll join the cooking club with you, not photography though."
"You're missing out photography is fun, here let me show you some photos I took." Yunju took out her phone and showed pictures of landscapes, people, animals, and food.
"Damn, these are good! You think you could take a picture of me so I can use it for insta?" she begged.
"Sure, just let me adjust your hair...," she spent about 2 minutes arranging and restyling till it looked just as she pictured "Hmm... Great, now move your head down slightly and look at my phone."

"That looks so good! Send that to me immediately please!" she shouted shaking Yunju's arm.
"Thanks but it'd be better if I had my camera with me."
"It'd be so cool to have a little photo shoot outdoors or at your apartment"
"You should come over sometime then, I'll send you my address."
"Great thanks Yunnie!"

Bonus: Heeseung and Jake convo after orientation
"I never expected Yunju to be here did you?" Jake asked.
"I swear she's following me,"
"Come dude don't be so self-centered, Deer boy." he laughed punching Heeseung's arm playfully.
"Whatever, anyway you thinking of joining any clubs?"
"Probably not I haven't seen anything that interests me yet, what about you?"
"Maybe just the cooking club, since my mom keeps telling me to learn to make things other than instant noodles."
Jake laughed in response "One thing about your mom, she'll make sure you're taking care of yourself and not wasting your life away."
***********
Not much of an interaction between Heeseung and Yunju in this chapter, but she made a friend before school started officially which is good.
