MINJI's POV



Sunday morning dragged on with every endless second for me. Ever since the end of the outing that culminated in a kiss between Haerin and me.

I confessed I hadn't seen her. At first I thought she might be tired and figuring out how to send all the gifts to her family. But when Sunday dawned, I rushed to the Main Hall looking for her, but Haerin didn't show up for breakfast, nor in the gardens. And now nearing noon, I was starting to get worried.

I sat on the steps leading to the building's entrance, staring at the garden, unsure where to look or what to think.

"Hi." Hanni sat next to me, and despite the greeting, she was too quiet.

"What's wrong?" I frowned at her as we hadn't spoken since the day before.

Hanni had arrived late to the dorm, lay down completely silent, and when I woke up this morning, she was already gone. "I have to tell you something, and I think you'll never forgive me for keeping it from you for so long." She looked ahead, but it seemed like she wasn't seeing anything.

"You're making me worried, Pham what did you do?" I turned fully toward her. She let out a deep sigh and lowered her head.

The short girl looked exhausted, as if she hadn't slept all night. Like a huge weight was on her at that moment. She was my best friend I wanted to help her, but I didn't know how. I've never seen her like this.

"I don't know if I should just drop the bomb on you or tell you how it all started." She swallowed hard, still not meeting my gaze.

"Did you do something against me?" I was already worried and scared. I didn't think she had hurt me, but I wanted to show she could trust me.

She shook her head with an unbearable expression "Then you don't have to be afraid of my reaction, Trust me han." I plead placing my hand on hers.

Then she looked at me his eyes were dark, almost no longer showing the brown in them. She was distressed, worried and scared. My best friend, the one who always protected me from everything and everyone was afraid. I couldn't believe it.

"What would you say if I told you I'm not virgin anymore?"

She dropped the bomb just like that. Without any prologue or introduction. And I ended up reacting the way I knew I would, but it seemed like she expected something else. The silence that followed between us was long. She took a deep breath and looked back at the horizon, not expecting anything more. I stared at the ground, unsure of what to say to him, but Hanni always knew I would be by her side no matter what.

"Who did you do it with?" I finally asked.

"Well i'm not sure if i can tell you who it is yet, still fingers can't get you pregnant" she was sarcastic, not wanting to act that way with me, and I could see that in her eyes.

The Hanni who made me laugh and was always ready to mess around with me or help me out wasn't there. Now, only my best friend, the adult, was.

"You never slipped up like this before!" I let out the breath I had practically been holding since she told me. "You always took care!"

"Of course! Until I let my feelings override reason!" She exhaled too, seeming calmer. "You're going to kill me when I tell you everything!"

"Maybe you don't need to tell me everything!" I said patiently. She looked at me, confused. "I'll always be here, won't I?" I shrugged.

The shorter-girl smiled sincerely and nodded in silent thanks.

"What are you going to do now?" I looked ahead, just like she was doing.
