Can't Let Go

Chapter 1 - Meeting

“I hope we get to be roommates,” Yuri said to Taeyeon, as they wheel their luggage into their new university.

The university they are staying at is humongous that it could stretch out for miles. The entrance is spotless, the grass is fresh, clean cut, the water fountain is clear (maybe even drinkable), the trees are trimmed, and the sidewalks are swept. There is not a speck of trash in sight. As they roam about, students are studying ahead of the school year under a tree, a bench, or sitting on the ledge of the water fountain.

Both Yuri and Taeyeon paces by, acquiring the attention of the students who are studying. People are looking at them from the side, but some of them can identify who they are since they are popular no matter where they go.

“Isn’t that Kim Taeyeon and Kwon Yuri?”

“Are they new?”

“They look intimidating.”

“That has to be Taeyeon and Yuri.”

“They’re so pretty.”

“I’m envious of their beauty.”

Even though Yuri and Taeyeon did not hear the comments about them, they understand something like this would occur. They head toward the main office and register into the university. In return, they receive a pair of dorm keys and papers to illustrate their schedule.

“Good luck living in connected dorms,” the receptionist lady said when the girls depart, but they did not listen to her.

“What dorm room number did you get?” Yuri asked, as she eyed her own dorm key.

“Umm….” Taeyeon fumbles with the key to make it clear for her to read, “126. What did you get?”

Yuri sighs disappointedly. “125.”

“Aw, we’re not together! I wonder how I would get along with my roommate,” Taeyeon says while grimacing.

“Don’t worry. I think we’re next door,” Yuri says with a forced smile.

Both Yuri and Taeyeon always stick together no matter what. They basically did everything together. From fighting together and to going to the bathroom together. (No, they do not pee together.) If anyone messes with one of them, the other one would come immediately and mess with them back.

They arrive at their dorm room and sigh. “We’re next door like you said,” Taeyeon said, eyeing the gold numbers placed on the center of the door.

“Yeah, I’ll be going in now. If you need anything come next door or call me,” Yuri opens the door and walks in.

Taeyeon follows her actions and steps into her own dorm room. She shuts the door behind her and spots a pair of shoes at the front door. She peers toward the entrance of another door and discover a girl sitting on the couch watching television. The girl must have heard Taeyeon entering as she turns off the television and stands up to walk towards Taeyeon.
