Secretly, But Unable to Hide It

Get Married

The next morning, Hanni still doesn't act heartlessly. She helps to wipe Minji's face, arms, and elbows. This time Minji doesn't open her eyes suddenly; she also says nothing. But Hanni doesn't look at Minji in the eyes. She tries hard to pretend to be uninterested. She is acting like she is wiping clean a non-living thing. Before leaving, she considers something and asks, "Minji unnie, do you need anything? I'll bring it over for you at night."

"En?" Minji seems still to be so sleepy, with her half-opened eyes. "I have keys inside my coat, you could take it. Help unnie bring the laptop inside my bedroom."

Hanni says, "What do you want to do with your laptop?"

Minji opens her eyes and smiles, "Work."

Hanni is startled, and her expression turns unpleasant. "Aren't you taking a day off? Moreover, you are sick now, why should you work? Your boss will also not give you extra money."

Minji looks at Hanni and says nothing.

"I'll not bring it for you. I'll bring the other things. I'll leave now."

Then Hanni leaves the room. When she is in the Metro, she opens up Jay's voice notes.

"Hanni, are you free now? I and friends will go to the sport game hall. Do you want to come? I heard from Danielle that you'll not be back to the dorm. It's late, and it's not safe to be alone outside. Let me pick you up?"

Hanni hesitates for a while and replies.

Hanni: I'm sorry, last night I didn't see my phone. Thank you for your care.

Hanni returns to the dorm and takes a shower. She changes her clothes. Then she goes to the classroom building. On Friday, she has a lot of classes from the morning to the afternoon, 06:00 p.m. She also has no time to eat. After the class, she just takes the Metro and goes to Minji's apartment. She exits the Metro station and uses the maps on her phone to find Minji's apartment.

This area is a residential area. It's located beside the City library. But to go to Minji's residential area, there are still a few meters. Nearby there is a restaurant and a small-size supermarket. It's so lively.

Hanni gets inside the gate with the card and finds the building. She takes the elevator to the fifteenth floor. On one floor, there are four apartments. Minji's room is facing the south. She opens the door with the key. She is unfamiliar with Minji's apartment and tries to switch on the light.

The room is designed in dark colors. The living room's sofa and coffee tables are in dark grey. The wall is painted in a similar color. The floor is made from wood, and in the middle, there is a dark-colored square-shaped carpet. On the sofa, there's a half-opened book, and beside it, there's a tall reading lamp. The curtain is closed off, and the room feels a bit in low spirits.

Hanni takes off her shoes and looks at the only slippers on the shoe cupboard. She hesitates whether she should wear them or not. At last, she just wears her socks and considers what she should bring for her. She looks around the living room. She notices there are three photo frames placed on shelves on top of the television.

One is a photo of Minji and all her roommates with their own graduation robes. The next to it is a photo of Hanni and her during the graduation ceremony. It's the first time for Hanni to see that photo.

Hanni couldn't help herself but to take a look for a moment. At that time, she was just as tall as his shoulder. She looked young and tender. She was wearing a light blue dress. She was standing twenty centimeters away from Minji. She was smiling, showing her dimples.

Minji is placing her hand on Hanni's head. She looks careless and casual, but her smile is bright and cheerful. It's quite a good photo.

Hanni licks her lips and takes out her phone to take a photo of it. She then looks at the last photo frame. It's also a group photo. It's obvious it is an old photo; the hue of the photo isn't the same.
