"ah, i'm full~" minjoo said as she rubbed her own stomach. "hey, that's yours, i don't want to eat anymore," she pointed at the remaining paper bag which made me scratch my cheek. 

"what time is it?" she asked while tugging on my sleeves. i took out my phone and checked the time. my eyes widened and showed the time to minjoo. 

"do you have classes tomorrow… i mean today?" i asked as i put my phone back on one of the pockets of my coat. she looked up while thinking and i waited for her answer. 

"yes, i have…" she answered with a mix of uncertainty in her tone. "we need to hurry, you need to get some sleep" i told her and we stood up from our seats. 

"i only have one hour left before my wake up time," she yawned after saying that. well, i have no choice. i went in front of her and squatted down. 

"eh?" she made a confused sound before climbing up on my back. i tried to look up at her and her eyes were wide open. damn, i thought she's sleepy. 

"minjoo, sleep" i told her and she accidentally wrapped her arms tightly on my neck and shoulders. "d-don't choke me!" i tapped her thigh multiple times. 

"oh sorry, unnie!" she apologized and kissed the side of my head and even my ear. i felt my ears heating up and it heated up even more when minjoo touched it. 

"why is it so red?" she asked curiously. "do you want me to put you down? i said sleep" i threatened her and she stopped playing with my ears. 

now, she's pinching my nose. "boop" she said as she poked it and giggled. her hands went to my cheeks next, rubbing it in circles. i just held a poker face and let minjoo play with it until she fell asleep.

"did you go out on a date with minjoo? where did you guys go? did you confess to her? did she confess to you? do you have a girlfriend now? are you guys still a bunch of cowards?"

yena greeted me with a bunch of questions as soon as i entered our room. my jaw dropped and i covered my mouth. "yena…" i called her. "w-what?" she said nervously. 

"i forgot to confess to her, i'm so sorry!"

i kneeled down in front of her and bowed. "hey, i know that's stupid but why are you apologizing to me?!" she asked and i stopped bowing to stand up. 

"should i even tell her?" i said as i faced the wall and hit my head lightly. "are you stupid? of course you should tell her and you are also stupid!" she yelled and slapped my back. 

"i'm planning to wait for her to confess to me," i told yena and as i turned around, she threw a pillow on my face. "chaewon, you're the one who should confess here," she said. 

"you're the one and only option left because minjoo thought you rejected her so she doesn't have the will to confess to you anymore" yena explained to me. 

"do i really have to do that?" i threw myself on my bed and hugged the nearest pillow. "nothing will happen if you guys won't confess to each other" she lectured me and we suddenly heard a scream from another room.
