Dani cautiously unlocks the front door and steps into the dorm, making sure not to make any noise. She glances around and sees that the common area is empty, which means everyone is probably asleep. Feeling relieved, she tiptoes to the kitchen, trying not to wake anyone. Dani opens the fridge and grabs a water bottle but decides to pour herself a glass instead.
As she drinks her water, she looks at the microwave clock blinking at 12:01. Dani smiles, knowing she made it back on time. Just as she finishes her drink, she notices a piece of paper on the counter by the sink. She walks over to it and reads the note:
Dear Dani-Unnie,
Since you treated us to Dinner, we decided to use your card to see a late movie!😜 Oh, thanks for that, by the way. We won't be home until 1 or 2, but we'll text you! Love you!
Huh Yunjin
Dani couldn't help but laugh at the note. Cheeky kids. Then she texted them quickly to tell them that she was home and went upstairs to change out of her dress and get ready for bed.
Once Dani finished getting ready, she decided to wait for the girls to return home. As soon as she reached the stairs though, she noticed a shadowy figure sitting on the couch. Her heart skipped a beat as she yelled out, "Holy shit!"
The figure turned around.
Dani let out a sigh of relief and said, "Damn it, Kkura-Unnie, you scared me!"
After the initial shock wore off, Dani went down the stairs and headed to the kitchen to grab two glasses of water. She turned to Sakura and asked, "How long have you been up?" but received no response.
Dani blinked but continued talking, "The banquet was so much fun! You should've seen my parents; they danced to Gangnam Style. They were so drunk!" Dani chuckled at the memory and then carried the two glasses of water to the couch, joining Sakura.
Dani's eyes widened in surprise as she entered the room and saw a lot of bottles of alcohol scattered all over the coffee table. The smell of booze filled the air, and she saw Sakura sitting on the far side of the couch with a Soju bottle in her hand. Dani felt a knot form in her stomach as she hesitantly approached Sakura and asked, "Kkura-Unnie, what's going on?"
"Did you have fun at the banquet?" Sakura spat, pointing accusingly at Dani. "With Miyeon?"
Dani avoided Sakura's gaze, feeling ashamed and guilty. She knew she had hurt Sakura and didn't know how to make things right. She started to speak, but Sakura cut her off, tears beginning to well up in her eyes.
"You know, I've tried everything," Sakura said, her voice strained. "Everything to get rid of this pain in here." She placed a trembling hand over her heart. "But I can't. It's like a hell I can't get out of. You are everywhere. In my head, in my heart, in my dreams."
Dani felt her own eyes fill with tears at Sakura's words.
"When you kissed me that day, I was the happiest person in the world. I could do anything. B-but when you told me you didn't like me, I felt like my world was crashing down." Sakura couldn't help but laugh. "You know what the worst part is? I still love you, and I hate that!" Then she took another sip of Saki.
Dani moved closer to her and said, "Kkura-Unnie, I didn't mean to hurt you. There's a lot of things I still need to work out." She looked at her with a sad expression on her face.
Sakura's eyes narrowed as she asked, "You mean with Miyeon?" Her voice was angry, and she looked ready to lash out.
"No, not with Miyeon," Dani quickly replied. "I mean with you." She looked at Sakura with sincerity in her eyes.
