“Do these all actually belong to you?” Eunji asked, sitting on my bed. Her hands rested behind the soft mattress as she swung her legs in the air watching me pack everything in my luggage.

“Yes, what happened?” I asked, confused by her sudden query. My eyes again went to the luggage that was laying in front of me filled with various warm clothes and my necessities.

I couldn't find anything odd in it though.

“Seriously? You are just going for five days as a volunteer and not to become a resident there. Why so many clothes?” She pointed at my bag that was actually filled with a pile of clothes, maybe almost 15 pairs.

“But I might require these there. Like you know we have to do various activities....” I tried to sound convincing, giving her a glance only to hear her clicking her tongue inside her mouth as she plopped beside me.

“Yes, you will do activities and I don't think those activities are some runway where you might have to dress up as a model. Just keep five or six pairs, not just a straight fifteen pairs.”

She spoke rummaging through my suitcase as she began to take out the unwanted things giving a judgemental stare to me as I just pulled a sheepish smile on my face at her glare.

“Shin ramyeon?” She spoke with disbelief holding the pack between her fingers as I pressed my lips together before giving a reason.

“Yeah, what if we run out of food. It is just for storage.” I could see how fascinated she was by my answer before she threw the ramyeon aside, making me gasp in surprise.

Like that many items made it out of the luggage and the bag which looked like it might have blotted out a while ago now looked more than half empty. My eyes went over Eunji who sneered with a proud smile, taking out everything that she found unnecessary and making a pile by it in the corner.

“Now you are ready to go.” She turned to me, giving an assurance smile which caused me to check everything once again. Making an annoying face I rolled back my eyes, pulling the luggage towards me so I could lock it.

The silence dropped in the room, only filled by the metallic zip on the zipper, creating a flashy sound due to friction between them. Once I was done I put the suitcase aside before getting up to rearrange other stuff which Eunji tagged as unnecessary. Her gaze followed me while sitting on the ground.

“What are you going to do after going there?” Eunji suddenly asked me, her question seemed weird to me yet I tilted my head to give a thought to it, while my hands arranged the clothes in the closet.

“Counciling with students, participating in activities with students and maybe a few more things which are still not listed yet.” A hum sound slightly escaped from Eunji's lips and when I turned around I saw her sitting, deeply thinking about something.

“I think there is going to be one more unexpected thing in this list.” She suddenly jolted up causing me to almost flinch as I didn't expect her to just suddenly jump up from her place and cling on me.

Her torso trailed behind me as I went towards the kitchen to put back the snacks I am not supposed to take , a distorted look on my face.

“What is unexpected?” I spoke, entering the kitchen making my way towards the counter to put down everything over the white marble surface. My head finally turned towards Eunji who had a mischievous smile on her face.
