"Why is it so hard to believe?"

Was she really asking that?.

"Because you cannot meet with someone so intimately constantly and be neutral in your feelings", Dayeon argued.

"Yeah. That's a nice point", Nari was suddenly switching sides.

"Well, I am neutral in my feelings and I do love to make an exception to that stereotype"

"No. It can never be a stereotype. Unnie, you have to stop", Dayeon said. "We will look for-"

"No. I can't stop"

"You have to", Dayeon continued. "You must. This is a toxic relationship", she used Nari's words. "It can never end well. You must fall for him or he does"

Daya failed to hold back her chuckle. "What?. I have been into this for two years and I do not like Seungmin romantically and he does not do romance either so we are both safe"

"Seungmin?. That's his name?"

"Yeah. Kim Seungmin", Nari confirmed, resting her elbows on the counter. The vegetables for their dinner were long forgotten. The issue at hand was more pressing than some hunger. "A fourth year senior who is quite the catch"

Daya avoided Dayeon's eyes. "Quite the catch?", the youngest repeated. Her features morphed into a grimace the more she stared at her sister. "How did you get him?"

Nari gasped. "Jeong Dayeon"

Dayeon opened her palm. "What?. She was a country bumpkin when she came here with just some ugly green clothes and huge glasses and braces"

"Yah", Daya took offence. "I was a teenager"

"A pathetic one", Dayeon dissed. "What did he see in you?"

"Maybe you should ask him"

"I don't know him"

Daya glared at her. "That's good", her words were not really compatible with her dark glare.

Dayeon picked the fallen stool. She sat back down. "This was why you didn't want me to come here. Should eomma find out, she won't take it really well"

"I know. That's why she can never find out"

Dayeon looked at her. "You really want to continue this?. Continue getting touched sexually by a person who doesn't work with emotions?. That means this means nothing to him"

"Maybe it does mean something", Nari optimistically said. "He doesn't repeat girls"

Dayeon cradled her head in her hands. "He sleeps with other girls?"

"Oh a lot", Nari grunted when Daya slapped her back harshly. "Yah. That shit was painful"

"I'm comfortable with that. It's one of the clauses in our agreement", Daya totally ignored her roommate's complaints.

"Do you sleep with other guys too?", Dayeon asked not looking up. She can handle one but more than that?. Not really.

"No. Just Seungmin", Daya said, relieving her sister a great deal.

Dayeon dragged her fingers through her hair, she looked at her sister. "Infections are real"

"You know a lot", Daya commented.

"I'm 20, what do you expect?"

"Right. Seungmin isn't really the kind to have sex without a sheath", Daya confidently vouched for him.

"Except with her", Nari inputed.

"Yoon Nari"

The girl laughed, tonguing her cheek, she shrugged. "It's not a lie. He sleeps with you without condoms"
