"It hurts to be something, it's worse to be nothing with you"

The two girls made their way to the other side of campus.

"Lets take a walk" they said..they in fact did not walk but took a shuttle instead.

It most literally took 15 minutes on shuttle but when they finally arrived, they stood outside contemplating; or at least Byeol was.

With a small inhale from the ravenette the two entered the building. It was similar to theirs in that they could easily navigate it.

"room 15.." Yoona was focused on her phone reading a loud. "..floor 4" her soft voice continued followed by her pushing the coordinating button on the elevator panel.

The short lift was silent, a comfortable silence at that. Byeol knew Jake had three roomates, two of which she didn't mind running into. Sunghoon and Jay; they were the same age as her and  though they had minimal interaction, she was familiar with them from high school.

Then came the third, Heeseung Lee. Byeol was in no mood to face him after this morning but could only hope he was out. Then by a small ding by the elevator, the girls had reached their destination.

STELLA

The hallway was quiet as we made our way to the first door on our right.

Yoona waved her hands in front of the small doorbell camera while speaking, "hi uhm i'm here to pick something up.."

I could tell she was nervous so i placed my had on her shoulder, softly pulling her away from the door, i smiled at her. 

As my fist met the cold metal door i looked back to the camera, "Jake has something for her so if you could open-" my words were cut off by the door unlocking then opening to reveal a tall pale boy.

"I heard you the first time" his joking voice came out with a deep laugh. His smile revealed a set of vampire like pearly whites, the owner very obviously being Sunghoon Park.

"Well don't just stand there- come in its cold in the hallways." He spoke again.

I looked at the younger girl slightly nudging my head towards the door. The boy's friendly demeanor calmed her down a bit, she smiled making her way inside.

Inside smelled of a mixture of colognes and subtle rich-amber wood. The furniture were mostly black and white, giving the place a modern look.

The layout was about identical to the girls' dorm, they both gazed around carefully observing. Sunghoon shook his head at  this approaching Yoona, catching her off guard.

He flashed a small smile before speaking, "jake's room is the 2nd door past that arch way..feel free to enter."

A small understanding "ah" was heard from the younger girl before she grabbed the hand of her friend, scurrying to her brother's bedroom.

Once the door shut behind them Yoona let out a small sigh of relief  while Byeol looked around curiously. 

STELLA

As soon as we entered the room it was like i'd gotten shot into the past.

Almost immediately i caught the lingering scent of lavender and a familiar lamp sitting on a small desk. Next to this desk was a bookshelf. There was an assortment of literature and physics books on it, i assumed some were Jake's.

There was a wire grid panel mounted on the wall. My eyes examined every photo stuck on it, they mostly contained the four boys and occasionally others. But one caused me to momentarily pause.

My hands reached out to the old polaroid at the top, taking it off. I brought it closer to my eyes to see if i was just going crazy..but i wasn't.

I turned it around, my muscles moving faster than my brain.

𝒾 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓂𝑜𝑜𝓃 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒷𝒶𝒸𝓀 - 𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒶

The words written in my old high school handwriting brought back memories i thought to be long gone.

:・゚✧:・.☽˚。・゚✧:・.:

Giggles filled the air with another click from the disposable polaroid camera.

The cool night breeze brushed against the skin of the teenagers. It was around 2am on a random Saturday in July. Heeseung took Byeol on a walk to the park.

Literally

The two young lovers felt as if they were little kids again. Pushung each other on the swingset, chasing one another around on the sawdust and taking photos while they uncontrollably laughed as if they were mad people.

"now take one of me!" heeseung's voice  echoed actively being replaced by his giggling once again.

Another flash and click then more laughing.

The two soon got tired, laying on the ground, gazing up at the stars in the sky.

Heeseung listened while Byeol ranted to him about different astronomy terms he didn't quite understand.

"Stell?"

"hmm?"

He paused before sitting up, pulling a black sharpie out of his pocket.

His hands manoeuvred through some of the polaroids, finding the one she took of him. A smile appeared on his face, a small, mischievous one.

He scribbled something to the back of the photo and placed into the girl's hands.

"Promise me you won't read it until you get home." His voice was soft.

"Promise." Her's was softer.

:・゚✧:・.☽˚。・゚✧:・.:

STELLA

"Byeol let's go i got it" Yoona tapped my shoulder softly, walking out before me.

"coming.." I took one last glance at the photo before resting it on the desk top following the younger girl.

The only thing i could think of was the fact that he'd kept his.
