Minji pulled out a pair of jeans and a red sweater from inside the bag and placed them on the bed for Hanni, then went to the bathroom to change into her own set of street clothes, a pair of jeans and a brown sweater. When she came back, Hanni was already dressed and ready to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" Minji asked.

"I'm going to find Yujin, so I can go home."

"Oh, no, the fuck you aren't. Just come back with me," Minji suggested, trying to keep Hanni with her.

"Minji, no. There's nothing for us," Hanni said.

"What are you talking about? What do you call this?" Minji asked, looking between them, moving her hand in the direction of the bed.

Hanni looked at the bed; it was damp and rumpled from their rendezvous. She then looked back at Minji.

"It was just sex. Something you and I are great at. About the only thing we do great together."

Normally, a girl making a comment like that wouldn't have fazed Minji, but for some reason, that one hurt—especially coming from Hanni. What they just shared wasn't just sex. Hanni went to reach for the door again when Minji grabbed her hand and pulled her into a tight embrace, locking her arms around Hanni so she couldn't move.

Hanni could feel Minji's heart beating fast against her own as Minji pressed her head to the side of Hanni's neck. She felt Minji lightly kissing her neck again.

"Hanni... I..." Minji whispered, closing her eyes. "I never said I didn't love you."

Hanni slowly nodded. "But you didn't say you did," she whispered back. She pulled her arms from around Minji, opened the door, and stepped out.

When Hanni closed the door, Minji leaned her head against the closed door as a tear rolled down her cheek. "But I never said I didn't," she repeated softly. She stood there for several minutes, just thinking, before she left the room and slammed the door.

Hanni marched back into the club as quickly as she could. She had to get away from Minji. What the hell was wrong with her? She kept glancing behind her to make sure Minji hadn't followed her back in. She needed to find Yujin and go.

She was done with Kim Minji. Completely done.

Hanni scanned the crowded club. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. She felt dizzy. Why was she letting this happen? Why did she put herself in this situation? She saw Yujin in the distance, talking to a group of people and laughing. Yujin had just used her, and much like Minji, didn't even care how it had hurt her. She realized right then that she wasn't riding back with An Yujin. She had trusted a snake, been bitten, and she had no one to blame but herself. She just wanted both Minji and Yujin out of her life for good. And if they wouldn't stay away from her, Hanni would damn sure stay away from them. She found the front entrance she and Yujin had come through earlier and made a straight line to it. She had almost reached the door when someone grabbed her arm.

Hanni spun around to see Yujin staring at her. "Where are you going?" she asked, looking her up and down while scanning the room, no doubt looking for Minji.

"I'm going back to Jaemin's. I'll catch a cab. Now let go of me," Hanni stated, hating herself for spending money that she was trying to save.

"I'll take you back," Yujin said, pulling her toward the door.

As soon as they pushed through the door, Hanni wrenched her arm free from Yujin. "Don't you dare touch me! I mean it. You did ALL of this on purpose, didn't you? You knew Minji was going to be here?" Hanni asked. She was so angry she didn't know what to do. Angry at Minji, angry at Yujin, but most of all pissed at herself for falling for Yujin's trap and then having sex with Minji as if Minji hurting her hadn't mattered. She wanted to smack herself.
