It was Thursday evening, Yunji's last day of practice for her performance. She'd spent half the day practicing the group choreography, and the other half her solo, both in costume. She nearly cried when she saw her completed outfit for the first time- it was truly stunning. The leotard took inspiration from royal medieval European ballgowns:

They'd decided on pink as the primary color, considering that Yunji was dancing a solo from the ballet "The sleeping beauty". Minji had also added light pink ribbons that circled around Yunji's ankles and lower calves, as well as a small tiara that could be attached to her high bun.

To say that Yunji was excited was an understatement. But of course, she was also extremely nervous.

She'd retreated to her dorm room rather early, to try to get enough sleep. But a tingling in her stomach prevented her from falling asleep, thus at around 9PM, when her roommates were already asleep, she sneaked out of the room and exitted the building.

Yunji took advantage of the empty campus to have a peaceful stroll around. Usually, at this time, the campus would've still been quite lively. But with the concert being the next day, everyone was exhausted from weeks of preparations, and had retreated to their rooms early.

It was a chilly night, and Yunji hugged herself as she walked in the mild wind. And despite the cold, she was enjoying her rare late-night walk.

As she neared the campus entrance, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure ahead. Her head went blank as she paused.

Jisung seemed to have spotted her at the same time as she had. He was wearing grey sweats and a big black hoodie, and held a couple of glass bottles between his fingers.

Yunji wasn't quick enough to react as he approached her, stopping right in front of her. Her eyes instinctively averted towards some random point in the distance, and a moment of silence ensued before Jisung finally spoke.

"Why out so late?" He asked, his voice relaxed, as usual.

Yunji didn't look at him, fumbling with the sleeve of her wool sweater.
