The next day...

"Ah!".

Nakyoung springed up from her laying just now. She woke up over a dream that she told someone about her and Yooyeon's relationship. Well, it's not a dream.

"Did I get drunk?", Nakyoung stroked her front hair to the back while her eyes are trying to recognize the place. Her house is somewhat unfamiliar to her since her head's still kinda spinning.

She's living in a small studio house near her university. She makes the sofa as her bed and no television, only the AC. The entrance door is only one way to her bed which is no second door to her bed. Then, a small kitchen area and a washroom after the entrance. Like a normal student's house.

She looked at the unfamiliar jacket that was still attached to her body under the mattress. She immediately remembered who was sending her home yesterday since this jacket is so familiar to that person.

"Haahhh... Did i actually burden her again...", she's rubbing her face because of feeling disappointed of herself on burdening Lynn again. No wonder Lynn knows the password to her house since this is not the first time.

Then, she saw a hangover syrup and a note on the table in front of the sofa she's sitting on right now.

'Daijobu, unnie no himitsu wa watashi ni totte anzendesu'

Which means 'it's okay, your secret is safe with me' in Japanese. Since, Nakyoung has been learning Japanese with Lynn, so she thought Nakyoung would understand this sentence. But, she just squinted her eyes again.

She tries to read it wrongly but tries again until she looks like a stuttering person. And never thinks of trying to search the meaning using her phone but she's still wondering hard what it could mean. The thought of searching never crossed her mind at that time until she went to school.

***********

"None of you go back to your hometown?".

"For what? A study week is only a week, my hometown is on the island and you asked me if i don't go back?".

"Then, you're not the one i'm asking".

"No, but i'm grateful all of us are planning to study at school only. At least, we can make more memories".

"Memories my ass. I'm sick of seeing y'all's face already".

"Lynn too? She doesn't even bother you but you're sick of seeing her face too?".

"Lynn is an exception".

"Na?", suddenly a cute meep smiling face popped up on that one friend of Nakyoung's view. It's Nakyoung who is asking her friend if she's sick of seeing her face too.

"Urmm... I'm sick of you too".

Nakyoung pulled herself back with a hopeless smile.

"Hahahahh, yah... She just had a bad day yesterday. You might make it even worse".

"Hahak. Mianhae, Naky ah".

"It's okay. I'm never sick of Naky Unnie", suddenly Lynn put her arm across Nakyoung's shoulders and pulled her closer.

"Bluek... I have Lynn", Nakyoung sticks out her tongue a little bit to provoke her friends just now and side-hugging Lynn tightly.

"Of course, she's never sick of you. She loves you".

Lynn is slightly stunned. Her eyes are opened widely for a second before she tries to act normal. She wonders if it's too obvious or her friends just want to joke around.

"Geurae, Lynn ah?", Nakyoung raises her head to look at Lynn that is above her head. Her innocent look doesn't even have a clue that Lynn has been hiding her feelings towards her.

"O- Eo...", Lynn just answers simply without looking at Nakyoung's eyes. But she still stutters.

At some point, she's afraid even though she's definitely sure about how she's feeling. Little did she know, being stuttering is actually more obvious than answers normally. Nakyoung just slowly turns her head from Lynn to the front back with weird feeling.

As the seven of them were walking along the corridor in front of Yooyeon's room, they unexpectedly came across each other again. Like the other day. But this time, feat Yooyeon's friend that they met at the restaurant in Gapyeong the other day.

None of them realize the presence of Yooyeon yet, except for Nakyoung and Lynn since they're walking behind and not talking to others. Yooyeon also notices her.

Nakyoung's hand that was on Lynn's waist just now spontaneously fell to let it go. Lynn who notices it, also did the same. Although, she doesn't actually want to but for Nakyoung's sake, she had to.

They're both shocked because of the unexpected meeting again but only Nakyoung is smiling towards Yooyeon. She's happy and excited that she could meet Yooyeon outside of the class again.

But it's only because she still doesn't know the person who is talking to Yooyeon right now since that person is facing the same way as her which made her only see the back of that someone's head.

Yooyeon has been trying hard to give her signs to run away. She's folding her eyebrows, shaking her head in as less visible as she could to Nakyoung but she never understands.

Until, one of her friends already notices Yooyeon and greets her.

"Annyeonghaseyo, saem...~!!", the most energetic greeting from one of her friends.

"Oh, Jung Saem too. Annyeonghaseyo", and they started to gather around in front of Yooyeon and another lecturer who is called Jung Saem.

"Ahh... Your students?", asked Jung Saem towards Yooyeon.

"Nae... Uh... Not actually under me, but i teach them chemistry", answers Yooyeon normally even though she's actually panicking right now. Jung Saem might already notice Nakyoung by now.

Nakyoung who never understood the signal is coincidentally sticking out of the attention. She's at the position where Jung Saem could easily see her but Nakyoung still couldn't see this lecturer. Her eyes were fixed to Yooyeon only. It's good to be loyal but it's the wrong time now.

Nakyoung's friends started to open their book to ask various things towards Yooyeon. Yooyeon who was going to find the idea to make them go, got distracted to answer their questions instead.

Until, what she expected finally happened.

"Oh, aren't you Yooyeon's friends from Gapyeong?".

Exactly the same thing they expected from days ago.

And at that moment, Nakyoung just realized who was beside Yooyeon all the time. And also at that moment, they both know, they're fucked up.

Yooyeon who was looking at her student's note book, quickly looked at Nakyoung back as soon as that question was asked.

"Hm? Ahahahh... Haa...", Nakyoung's laughing awkwardly. Her eyes are trying to find help from Yooyeon.

They're eye-contacting each other for a few seconds and her friends did the same towards each other. They're all asking what's happening to these both through their eyes. Meanwhile these two are struggling until Yooyeon actually finds the excuse.

"Aniyo, my friend is slightly chubby. She also had braces on her teeth. But, this friend is smiling beautifully. They actually look identical".

"Oh, really? I'm so sorry. I thought that friend of yours suddenly became interested in our university so she came here to study too. I'm sorry to jump to the conclusion".

"No... No problem", Yooyeon's shaking her head to not accept the apology since it's just a simple thing.

Nakyoung also shaking her head quietly since she apologized to both of them. She's actually slightly smiling. Her heart seems like it's melting again. Especially that 'smiling beautifully' part. She feels like if there's a bed here, she wants to jump on it and start kicking her feet in the air.

And in that exact time, only Lynn who is facing down. As someone who is the one and only who knows about them and as the one and only that have a heart towards someone here, she just feels flustered.
