Chapter Nine 

Friday


[7:26am]

Lina sits up in her bed, her eyes focusing on the dress that had appeared outside of her dorm door a couple days ago. The satin fabric catches the morning sunlight that streams through the window, the girl standing from her bed. Lina walks towards the dress, lightly touching the corseted part with her fingers. She had assumed that it was from her father, as he had a tendency to send her clothes whenever they had a party to attend. There was a sense of unfamiliarity about this dress though, it wasn't the style that Lina's father normally sent.

"Weird." Lina mumbles as she shuffles into her bathroom, quickly getting ready for her day. She runs her fingers over the dress one last time as she walks past it again, grabbing her bag from where she had dropped it next to the door. Lina stops as soon as she opens the door, spotting a small blue box sitting on the floor in front of her. She frowns as she picks it up, turning the small note on it over. 


I thought this necklace would suit you, little one

I love you,

Dad


Lina's eyes widen slightly, the girl glancing at the dress hanging on her wardrobe. She startles when the door across from hers opens, Jay nodding his head to her as their eyes meet. 

"Good Morning." He says quietly, Lina humming in response. She sets the small necklace box on the table inside her dorm, closing the door behind herself. Lina notices the way that Jay waits for her, pretending to scroll on his phone. She doesn't look at him as she starts walking down the hallway, the boy following after her without a word. 

Lina couldn't help but be upset with Jay, her blood boiling from the proximity. She wanted to say something, anything to break the silence in the elevator. At this point, Lina was staying quiet purely out of spite. 

"Hey, you two." Sunoo greets as him and Sunghoon approach the pair, Lina almost feeling relief at the presence of her friends.
