"Sooyoung," Yeri called her softly while standing beside Joy's desk, shaking the sleeping girl lightly. "Sooyoung-ah." She called Joy with a gentle voice.
The class had ended five minutes ago but Joy was still asleep so Yeri decided to wake her up.
"What's wrong? Why did you cry?" Yeri asked concernedly when she saw Joy's tear stained cheeks and wiped the fresh tear that had just rolled down Joy's cheeks.
Joy pulled Yeri down into a tight embrace.
Yeri was surprised by her girlfriend's sudden action but hugged her back immediately.
"Don't leave me, Yerim-ah." Joy cried into Yeri's shoulder.
"I won't leave you. Ever." Yeri assured Joy, rubbing her back comfortingly.
"Did you have a bad dream?"
Joy nodded, her head still buried between Yeri's neck and shoulder.
"Do you want to share?" Yeri asked. Joy looked up and shook her head immediately.
"Alright then." Yeri replied as Joy picked up her bag and stood up.
Joy wanted to ask Yeri if she can stay over at her place but her phone buzzed.
[2 messages from Sungjae Oppa]
[Sungjae Oppa] Hey babe, wanna come over to my house tonight? 😘
[Sungjae Oppa] I'll be waiting, you have the keys 😉
Joy's heart sank seeing the messages as it reminded her of the dream she had earlier.
"Who's that?" Yeri asked Joy.
"Oh, it's just my Mum." Joy replied while putting her phone back into her pocket before interlocking their hands.
"She wants me to stay home for dinner so i can't stay with you tonight." Joy said apologetically.
"That's fine." Yeri told Joy and smiled.
"But can you stay with me until it's time for your dinner?" Yeri asked Joy with puppy eyes.
"Aigoo, my girlfriend is too cute to say no." Joy said, ruffling Yeri's hair. "Let's go."

Seulgi's father threw his iphoneX across the room after ending the call.
"Fucking bitch!" He screamed, throwing all his stuff off his table before kicking his chair.
He stormed out of his work room and went to the living room. "Get me a bottle of whiskey." He told the servant beside him.
"Yes sir."
"Where's Seulgi? I want to talk to her." He asked Joy and Yeri who happened to pass by him.
Yeri knew that he was in a bad mood and immediately told him that she will give Seulgi a call.
"It's me, Yeri. Are you coming home?" She asked as soon as Seulgi picked up the call.
"No."
"Why?"
"I'm going to Irene's house. Bye." Seulgi replied and ended the call.
"Seulgi's with her friend. She's probably coming back in an hour or two." Yeri told him.
He nodded his head and Yeri immediately dragged Joy away.
