My short 2 weeks of holidays swiftly ended with me spending the rest of last week still staying in this dorm not going anywhere except to buy food and other stuff. I barely managed to persuade the two to return back to their hometowns and not dragging me along.

I have totally not expected SeokMin to actually appear in front of me and wanted me to go back home with him telling me that he had feelings for me. That was so crazy, how can he come all the way here to tell me that??

I sat down in my bed wondering too why I'm here and all, still not being kicked out of the college even though I technically have no course to go to. The engineering course that I have been kicked out of hadn't considered me to go back into the course and I'm very very sure that they will find me about me having no course.

I heard the door opening and SiAh appears behind the door, with the aroma of food filling the room. There is the smell of my favorite Thai food store and I leaped from my bed and went to her.

"What did you buy for me??"

"Pad Thai and of course your favorite chicken wings were done by SeolHa." She replied. "But you have to stop asking me to buy things for you."

She heavily sighed and walked to our table where we usually have our food at, it is just a tiny table and we even had Soju once.

"Why?? I have no money."

"Take it from your Seok Prince, isn't he the one that buys you food all the time??"

She opened the packet and passed the disposable utensils to me as I took one chicken wing. I put it in my mouth and moaned in happiness. That's the right taste, SeolHa never ever disappoint me with her cooking.

"He can't be that kind all the time, he isn't that well-off and plus he is busy with his studies." I finished one chicken wing within seconds and grabbed another, casting the bones in another side.

"Then why don't you look for him after class?? I thought that he is single right now??"

I looked at the time, there is a still a few hours before he finished his classes for the day.

"Right, why didn't you tell me earlier??"

She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Miss Jin, do I really have to tell you everything to get that Seok Prince?? He is within reach now so it is so easy to get him to your side, and Kim MinGyu as well."

My cheeks started heating up. "What... Why do you have to talk about Kim MinGyu at this time??" My fingers fidgeted from here to there and I touched my fork.

"You like him, don't you??" She asked and I dropped my fork that I was playing with.

I reached to get that fork. "No, I don't. I hated him, don't you know that??"

"I know but it seems to be love these days, how's your little honeymoon with him??"

"It was good..." I told her. "And..."

"And what do you think of him??" She continued. "Anything bad happened during the past one week??"

I shook my head. It was fun being with him and he tries to correct whatever that you do, I even noticed that he tidied my desk after one night that I decided to write small notes all over the place and arranged my books in order, placed my pens in my pencil holder and even draped a blanket on me as I fell asleep on my desk. He is caring in his own way.

"Oh, really?? He must really care for you and he definitely has feelings for you."

I scoffed. "I bet that he only treats me like a friend, he doesn't do that to his flings."

"Of course he wouldn't care much about his flings because they are a temporary thing, they never last and there is love but lust. You don't believe that, ask him the next time you see him." She finished her food and went to the sink. "You better think about it while I go out with my boyfriend."

"Fine. When would you be back??"

"It depends but rests assured, I would be back by 10 for the inspection." She said rushing to her closet to get the clothes that she wanted to wear, I just watched her do all that while I eat my pad, Thai. My phone buzzed and I looked at the email, it is from my designated college, the school of design.

I looked at the message and it is actually an email for my acceptance for a place in that course, I have not applied for a place in that course but am I being accepted. Is this a scam??

I looked closer at the details of the email and it has my full name and my address written in the detail, it is not a fake. It is real, I'm being accepted in that college.

"Yoo SiAh, you still there??" I called for my roommate to confirm that I wasn't seeing things and what I am seeing is real. "Can you make your way here and take a look at this??"

She sighed and made her way sitting on my bed, looking at the email on my phone. She was silent for a few seconds and she suddenly screamed, hurting my ears.

"YOU GOT ACCEPTED INTO THAT COURSE!!" She screamed. "Is that even real?? Aren't you sure that it isn't a scam??"

"That's why I called you to double-check, what do you think that I should do??"

"Accept it right away, you idiot!! I have to tell SeolHa as well so we can celebrate it tonight." She patted me on my shoulder and she ran off to tell the good news to everyone that she knows.

I have something in mind to tell as well and he unexpectedly came into my mind, I gathered my courage and I got out of the dorms, wearing my favorite jacket and rushing down to the cafeteria to meet him. I just know that he is having lunch right now.

I opened the doors to the cafeteria and I saw him waiting at the cafeteria, using his phone. I called out his name.
"Kim MinGyu!! Did you know--"

My voice unknowingly softened as I witnessed a girl getting closer to him and she hugged him. It is one of his flings. He seemed to be happy seeing her as well.
