She woke in another unfamilar bed, but this time it wasn't hospital sheets.
'I-I'm sorry, did I wake you?' A soft voice stuttered as Ju stretched out beneath the covers.
Memory of last night flooded back, of getting in a stranger's car and driving- then falling asleep.
'I dropped you back off at my house because you fell asleep, I'm so sorry for last night- I needed to drive for a bit, clear my mind, you know?'

She simply smiled at him and it sorta filled a void Baekhyun didn't realise was in him.
'It's okay, sorry for passing out on you,' Ju laughed jovially, propping herself up on a pillow.

She was in a large, modern dorm room that looked like it was shared by someone previously, as there were two beds and empty cardboard boxes on the floor.

'Uh do you have a roommate?'
'I used to, hes in a different room now, but there's still an empty bed so I guess that's perfect for you'

Ju sat on the edge of the elevated bed, her legs swinging over the side of the mini balcony where his roommate once slept.

'This is a pretty big dorm! Do you study or something?'
'I'm a trainee..' Baekhyun half-lied.
'Mh, because they give trainees dorms this size. Who are you?'
He contemplated telling her before laughing.
'Let's go out somewhere, today is Sunday, I have time off'
She again agreed without hesitation, this Baekhyun boy was really confusing her, why was she agreeing to go out with a damn stranger? It made no sense to her.

'What should I call you?'
'What?'
'Like you need a nickname, Baek, what should I call you?'
Something inside Baekhyun pulled on his heart when she said that, the way she said it confused him.
'Call me baek then!' He shook his head and watched her run off toward a flower stall.

What seemed like hundreds of incredible bouquets lay in adorable white wooden boxes, in a spectrum of bright and pastel shades, each individual blossom painting a picture as one.
It was huge, the stall reaching about 6 foot.

'Let me take a photo of you next to it!'
Ju was using aegyo to persuade him while he pouted.
Baekhyun grabbed the camera and twirled Ju so their bodies were against the backdrop of the stall, and while she still had her cute face on he snapped a photo of them together.

Looking at the photo, Ju had a feeling of sweet and sour nostalgia, and she didn't know why. Something inside her pulled on her heart, just like Baekhyun. But it also pulled on her mind. This was a strange feeling, a feeling of loss and gain and a feeling of hatred for some reason.

Ju decided to ignore it.

Mistake number one.
