HUH YUNJIN

And there I sat, doing homework across from Chaewon. I was incredibly bored, I looked up to see Chaewon was still focused. Then I got an idea. "Hey Chae" I say, then she looks up. "Yes?" She says, tilting her head to the side on curiosity. "Wanna sit next to each other and do homework together, make this more fun?" I suggest, a hint of hope in my eyes.

"Sure" she says, then pats the chair next to her. I smile and move to the spot next to her, we start working together. We laugh and joke around. I have to admit, I really like spending time with her. Then the front door opens, and I see my parents coming home from work. "Hey kids" my dad says, giving a soft smile. "Hi dad" I say back, while chaewon just waves and stays quiet.

"Did you girls do your homework?" My mom asks. "That's what we're doing right now" I say, gesturing to the stuff on the table. My mom smiles. "Good, we'll leave you two to it" my mom says, then walks away with my dad.

"And that's it!" Chaewon says, smiling happily. I couldn't help but smile with her. "Finally" I mumble, glad that we got our homework done. We both walked to the couch, unsure of what to do.

"We can watch a movie" I suggest, and Chaewon seemed to like that. "Yeah, Let's do it" she says, then pouts. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Nothing, I'm just wondering what movie we're going to watch" Chaewon says. "Well, What do you want to watch?" I ask, then Chaewon smiled and grabbed the movie I would never catch myself watching.

"Really? Cinderella?" I say in a playful tone. "What? It's a good movie!" Chaewon protests, matching the same playful tone as me. I take the remote from her hand, but as soon as our hands touch, a jolt of electricity shoots through my body. My heart speeds up just a little bit. I quickly take remote from her and I press play on the movie.

A few minutes later, I feel Chaewon rest her head on my shoulder. I wrap my arm around her to make her more comfortable. Seconds later, Chaewon has fallen asleep to the movie. Her head laying on my shoulder. Her arms wrapped around my waist.

I smile to myself and I turn off the movie, then I shift carefully into a comfortable position on the couch. My eyes start to grow heavy, and I eventually drift into a deep sleep.

KIM CHAEWON

The sunlight was shining through the thin curtains in the living room, I slowly open my eyes and I wake up to see Yunjin cuddled next to me on the couch. Her hair was messy, her clothes cling to her body loosely. Her face was flushed red as she slept like a cute puppy on the couch.

Suddenly, I hear footsteps and I look up to see Yunjin's dad standing there, he looks surprised by me and Yunjin's current position. I quickly sit up, which wakes up Yunjin. I smile awkwardly at her dad, then I look away. Yunjin sits up from the couch in confusion, then she notices her dad. "Oh... Morning Dad" she says, her voice raspy and sleepy sounding. "Morning Mr. Huh" I say softly.

Mr. Huh looks at us and gives a knowing smile. Then he walks away. I breathe out a breath I didn't even know I was holding it.

Yunjin looks at me, and I look at her. "He found us cuddling in our sleep, didn't he?" She asks. I nod in response. She looks towards the direction her dad walked in, then back at me.

"Hey, don't worry about it" She says. "But what if he think we're..." I pause, trailing off. She looks at me with determination. "Hey, it's ok, I'll fix it" she says, her voice filled with determination.

I smile and nod. "Now, come on, let's get some breakfast" she says, and we both walk towards the kitchen.

We arrive at school, Yunjin groans and I giggles a little bit by her action. She looks at me and playfully rolls her eyes. "Hey, what you looking at?" She says, again in a playful tone.

"You" I reply bluntly. She chuckles and we both walk inside, then a girl with long brown hair runs up to Yunjin. "Yun!" She says loudly, then hugs her. I look at Yunjin confused, wondering who this girl is. The girl pulls away and Yunjin clears her throat. "Right, Chaewon this is Kazuha, Kazuha this is Chaewon" Yunjin says. I wave to Kazuha and she smiles and waves back.

"Ah you must be the new exchange student eh? Well like Yunjin said, I'm Kazuha but you can call Zuha" she says, smiling widely. I nod, staying quiet. "Chaewon, Zuha is also my friend" Yunjin says. I nod in understanding. I look around to see her. Jang Wonyoung. the girl Yunjin told me to stay away from.

Suddenly I feel a had grabbing my shoulder and pulling my back gently. I turn around to see Yunjin. I smile softly and she smiles back.
