"Wait wait wait, slow down" Yunjins says on the phone, she rushes to pick up all her stuff off the floor. A girl, only clad in a bra and shorts huffs at Yunjin's direction. She looks at the girl and gives her an apologetic look before she rushes out the door. Before Yunjin can take a step outside the room, the girl calls out to her.

"Are you serious right now Huh Yunjin?" the girl on the bed says, she makes her way towards Yunjin. Her eyes trailing all over Yunjin's body, the one that she was shamelessly exploring before Yunjin's phone kept ringing to the point that they couldn't ignore it anymore. She wishes that Yunjin never answered that damn call.

"I'm really sorry about this, but best friend duty calls. I'll make it up to you later? It'll be worth it, I promise." Yunjin says to the girl and gives her a chaste kiss before speeding out the front door. She doesn't even wait for the other girl to respond before making her way to Minji and Jin's house. Thank god she wasn't that far away from them right now.

Minji called Yunjin crying. It freaked Yunjin out as her best friend rarely cries or calls her crying anyways. She couldn't wait for public transport, that was going to take forever and she's too worried about Minji right now. She decided to run, she runs past passersby and they give her a look like she's crazy, she probably does look like she's crazy. But she didn't care, she needed to get to Minji. Fast. Yunjin feels her chest burning, she doesn't know how long she has been running but she could see that she was close to Minji's house. She sprints the last few blocks and Yunjin feels like she's about to pass out. Thankfully, she made it at her house without passing out but she was out of breath. Very out of breath.

She knocks on the door and waits, she leans into the doorway to catch her breath and almost loses her balance when someone opens up the door. Joon catches Yunjin and gives her a look that she took as "what the hell" look. Yunjin just looks at Joon, still trying to catch her breath. She looked at the stairs and at Joon again, he understood her that time. He nods and lets her make her way up the stairs. He didn't ask any questions. At Least he knows that Minji isn't the only one acting strange today.

The door to Minji's room swings open, Yunjin stands by the door, scanning around the room looking for her friend. She doesn't find her at her usual spot, which is where her easel and other supplies are located. Scanning around again, she finally sees a lump under the comforter on the bed. She makes her way to bed and sits down at the edge of it, she knows Minji is under her comforter. She could see the comforter move up and down and heard sniffling. Yunjin doesn't say anything but she just gives the lump on the bed a big bear hug.

After feeling someone wrap their arms around her, Minji slowly peeks out from under the comforter. She sees Yunjin hugging her, she reaches out to touch Yunjin's head and Yunjin turns to her direction. She could see that her best friend's face looked red, her naturally perfect hair looked like it's seen better days, strays of hair still stuck on her face.

"Hi. you look gross" Minji says to her friend, she brushes away the strand from Yunjin's face. She felt her face and it was cold, her cheeks still looked red from the wind burn. She sees that Yunjin was only in a cropped tee and jeans and sees that she's slightly shivering. Minji moves and opens up her blanket to share the warmth with Yunjin, she accepts.

"You're one to talk. You still have snot dripping down your nose" Yunjin tells her as she gets more comfortable in Minji's embrace, the comforter both giving them a much needed warmth from the cold weather outside. MInji reaches for the box of tissues by her night stand and fixes her face. They sit in a comfortable silence until Minji says something.

"I talked to her today," Minji says quietly.

"Talk to who?" Yunjin asks, looking at Minji with a confused look.
