"Wow! This college is huge," Eunji exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"It really is," Eunha agreed, glancing around with a hint of awe.

"Where is your sister?" Eunji asked while wondering her eyes around the college.

"She said she's waiting for us by the cafeteria. I think she already bought some food," Hana replied.

"I'm starving!" Eunji groaned, dramatically lifting her arms.

"Oh, shut up. You're always hungry, and that's like the fifth time you've said it today." Eunha teased, raising her arm as if to playfully smack Eunji on the head.

"Stop it, you two, before I kick both your ass" Hana scolded, stepping between them with a stern look that quickly melted into a smile.

Eunji and Eunha rolled their eyes at each other but couldn't help but chuckle as they continued walking towards the cafeteria.

When they finally spotted Hana's sister, Jiwoo, sitting at a table, they hurried over.

"Whoa, this is insane! You bought so much food." Eunji said, giving Jiwoo a quick hug.

Eunha and Hana followed followed, embracing Jiwoo before sitting down in their seats.

"I wasn't sure what you all liked, so I just got a bit of everything," Jiwoo explained with a grin.

"You're rich just like your sister." Eunha said as she started eating.

After a few minutes of eating, Eunha felt the sudden need to go to the bathroom. She set her chopsticks down and turned to Jiwoo. "Hey, could you tell me where the bathroom is?"

Jiwoo gave her quick directions, but Eunha, despite nodding along, didn't quite catch it all. Still, she got up and decided to try her luck.

"Okay, she said it's in this building" Eunha muttered to herself as she stepped inside. She paused, glanced around at the unfamiliar hallway. "Then.... umm..." She hesitated, scratching her head. "I think she said turn left....or was it right?"

"Ughhh, I wanna pee," she whisper-shouted as she looked around, hoping to find someone to ask for help, but the hallway was empty.

"Why is this hallway empty?" she murmured, feeling a little uneasy.

Suddenly, she spotted a figure in the distance and immediately started walking towards it, but as soon as she recognized who it was, she quickly turned and began walking faster in the opposite direction.

"What is he doing here?" she whispered, her eyes wide with surprise.

It was the same guy from the cafe, the one she spilled coffee on. Not wanting to embarrass herself like last time, she decided not to ask him for help.

"But I can't wait anymore. Come on, Eunha! Just don't show your face, and it'll be alright," she persuaded herself, pulling her hair in front of her face.

"Excuse me!" she called out, turning back toward the guy. "Umm... Can you please tell me where the bathroom is?" she asked, her head down, her hair covering her face.

"Who are you? Are you new here?" he ignored her and asked, bending down to get a closer look, but Eunha kept her head low, avoiding eye contact.

"Um, I'm just visiting the university."

"But I feel like I've seen you before... I just can't remember." he said, squinting as if trying to recall.

"It's because we've never met! So, can you please just tell me where the bathroom is?" she insisted, getting frustrated.

"No."

"No?!" she shouted, accidentally lifting her head to glare at him. For a split second, their eyes met.

"I know you!" Niki's eyes filled with joy as he saw who she was.

"You're so annoying. I told you, we don't know each other," she grumbled, lightly hitting his arm in frustration.

"You're the girl from the cafe! I remember you. Come on, don't be shy," he teased, clearly amused.

She finally looked up at him fully and, once again, found herself amazed by his looks. Even in a simple black shirt and loose jeans, he was the most handsome guy she'd ever seen.

She could feel butterflies fluttering in her stomach from this simple interaction, and she didn't know why.

She cleared her throat. "Look, can you just tell me where the bathroom is?"

"Fine, it's in—" He was cut off by a voice calling from behind him. "Oppa!"

Eunha couldn't help but notice the sudden change in his face. She glanced over his shoulder to see a girl approaching them with a bright smile.

The girl's long hair bounced as she jogged closer, clearly excited to see him.

"Oppa, I've been looking everywhere for you" She exclaimed, finally reaching them.

"Eunseo?" Niki asked, turning to face her

Eunseo's smile faltered as she noticed Eunha standing there. "Who is this?" she asked, glaring at Eunha from head to toe.

Eunha started feeling annoyed as she caught the girl's stare. "The person who's going to-" She began, but caught herself just in time, pressing her lips together.

"Don't embarrass yourself for the third time dumbass" She muttered to herself.

"Your mom." She forced a tight smile as she shot the girl an annoyed look.

"You're not funny" The girl snapped as she gave Eunha a dirty look.

"Oh really? Cause I wasn't even trying to make you laugh" Eunha scoffed.

"Oppa, seriously, let's just go,"she huffed, tugging on Niki's arm like she was trying to pull him away from Eunha. "I don't have time for... this."

Eunha raised an eyebrow. "This?" she echoed with a mocking laugh. "Sweetheart, if you don't have time, then move along. No one's holding you here."

Niki's lips twitched with amusement, but he quickly tried to hide it.

"Now, can you please just tell me where the bathroom is?" she asked, turning to Niki again.

"Yes, it's down the hallway, then turn right," he said, smiling. Eunha found herself smiling back, almost instinctively. Eunseo's face hardened with irritation.

"Thanks. I gotta go." Eunha said hurriedly, quickly turning to leave. She needed to get away from this boy before she did something else embarrassing.
