They Don't Know About Us: Reset

eighteen

Their Christmas vacation starts already. After the memorable night of the girls yesterday, they finally went back to their dorm which they consider as their second home.

Feeling exhausted from the travel, however, minds are still full of cherish-able moments.

Irene also posted on their university's website about the upcoming Christmas party—themed as a Christmas Slumber Party— two days from now on. She included there that, the day before the party, they will have to pick a person's name, to give him/her a present.

Now, Sooyoung is already plopping herself in her room reading the latest novel from her fave author. Her friends are also doing stuffs in their own and right now she's a little bored.

It's afternoon and she don't know what to do in this sunny weather. Her phone rang suddenly as she look who's the caller. It's her ex.

She didn't click any accept or cancel button for the call since she was there just momentarily staring at her phone. It came back rushing into her mind what had happened on that day, and she could not even move. "He's a jerk!" She shouts, closing her eyes as tears escaped from it. "He's a jerk!!!" She repeats almost throwing off her phone when the door suddenly opens.

"Joy?" Wendy enters. Rushing to her and tries to stop her. "Hey, What's wrong?" She shush her and comforts her, embracing her. "She's a jerk, unnie!" Sooyoung mumbles as Wendy keep on comforting her. "Just forget him, okay? Don't accept any calls from him..." Wendy tells, wiping her tears and Sooyoung nods with her.

"Unnie, gomawo..." Sooyoung says looking Wendy eye to eye and the latter smiled at her. "Just don't forget we're always here..."

The two girls who's having a moment right now, was suddenly interrupted by a door knock which comes from Yeri.

"Unnies?" Yeri opens the door as she was worried about what's happening. "Omo, what's wrong? Unnie gwaenchanha?" She rushes to the bed where the two girls are sitting next to each other. "We're fine, Yeri. Nothing to worry." Said Wendy as Yeri nods but still concerned with Sooyoung. "If there's something wrong, don't hesitate to open up, okay?", "Hm... being concerned doesn't fits you Yeri..." Sooyoung mumbles weakly with a small laugh.

"Aish! Unnie!" Yeri scowls as she feels betrayed, her Unnies are just laughing at her.

"By the way, Wendy Unnie, aren't you coming with me? We're buying pajamas right?" Yeri stood up hands on waist looking down at the two. "Woah, Kim Yerim you're spending money to buy a pajama? Geez, aren't you the one who speaks not to spend too much? Huh?" Sooyoung mockingly speaks as Yeri shrug it off. "Well, Uhm.. my pajamas looks old and..." they stare at her while justifying her answer as she feels a little embarrassed. "And?" Sooyoung grins interrogating the dongsaeng. "And.. So what Unnie!? I have money, I'm going to buy a new pajama, that's it!"

She leaves the room as the two Unnies chuckles as she walks away. She's really a stubborn kid they know that.

"Okay, she's funny." Sooyoung mumbles laughing as Wendy looks at her. "Looks like your back to normal again?" Wendy asks as Sooyoung smiles nodding. "Hm. Thank you.", "Then, I'll leave you now. You're going to be okay right? Yeri might spend gold when she's alone doing shopping." Sooyoung agrees and smiles as she feels enlightened now. "Tell Yeri too that I got a good laugh from her."

Wendy walks away and leaves the room. Now she's left once again. Her face of madness faded and replaced with a comfort and smile. All she could do is to be forever thankful for the circle of friends she have and that's what matters to her right now.

She feel so bored after the two left her that's why she decided to have some walk outside and go to a convenient store to buy something to eat.

SUNGJAE POV

It's Christmas break and to be honest, I don't really know what to do. Some of the students will go to their respective homes to visit their parents and celebrate Christmas altogether. However for me, that seems to be impossible. After mom died and it was only me and my father left, we never got to spend Christmas together. I was a reckless kid after all that I always stay up in a game room to spend the evening there. I wasn't lonely, I have Maki with me.

This time, same thing will happen. I'm going to a game room with Maki on the Christmas Eve. Pretty usual thing.

Now, I'm on my way somewhere around. It's really boring inside my room that I don't know what to do. I left Maki in an animal hospital so that he could stay there well. From time to time I'm visiting him also.

As I was walking in the lobby I found a familiar body with different hairstyle.. Sooyoung?

"Hey!" I reach to the person as she looks back. "Oppa!" I'm right it's Sooyoung. "Ooh... new hair!" I commented as she smiles, "Well, yeah.. new hair, new life?" We both laugh as I can see her eyes glistening. I feel that she's okay now, but not totally. I know that it's hard to easily forget someone you once loved.

"You're gorgeous with it." I complimented her as she says "Thanks!" with a shy smile. "Red suits you well. Perfect since it's Christmas" I speak with a hint of humor. "Oh, yeah! Red... Christmas... it makes sense, lol" we laugh and it's great talking with her again. My healer.

Last time I saw her she was pretty hurt and broken, her heart beaten up, as she cries river with the pain. Now, having her smiling in front of me gives me the soft side of me, I don't know did exist, or maybe it's just perfectly made for her. I mean, I've been a cold heartless jerk but since I met her and when I'm with her, I become someone else.

She got me... soft.

"By the way, where are you going this Christmas break?" She asks me as I respond to her, "Well, you know... maybe I'll just stay here in the dorm, play games, hm.. things like that." She quiets as I quiet too. "Things aren't settled yet with your father?" She adds as I nod agreeing at her. "I think so.. anyways, where are you heading?" I changed the topic as we went outside of the dorm.

"I'm off to a convenient store, you?" Walking side by side, I feel glad next to her. "I'll come with you then." She smiles and we continue to walk through.
