KIM TAENA

So, she leans in...

There's a loud bang on her dorm door and Taena pulls away immediately, glad that Soobin didn't notice what she was about to do.

Bang! Bang!

Soobin turns to her and gives her a questioning look. "Why is your friend banging the door so much?" He asks. Taena doesn't know how to respond to him, because Seojoo doesn't know her dorm number, so there's no way it could be her.

"Open the door, Princess!"

Taena stands up immediately and runs to the door. She unlocks it and faces the boy. "See, you said it's highly irritating, but you respond to it so quickly."

He's standing before her in a blazer with The Fine Arts emblem embroidered onto it. "I opened it because what sane person bangs on another person's door for no good reason?"

"A good neighbour, because the fire drill alarm went off two minutes ago and your door was still closed."

"Fire drill?"

Taena waits and waits and the ringing starts.

"It just started now, why did you lie?" Soobin stands next to Taena and looks down at the boy who looks distastefully between them. "Thank me later, okay?" He responds and walks down without a word more. Everyone is walking out of their rooms calmly and Taena realises that this is where she has to tell Soobin bye.

"I'll see you soon, okay?" He tells her, picking his bag up. Taena locks the door behind them and throws her hands around his neck, sighing internally at what she would have done had that boy not banged on her door.

She would have kissed Soobin.

It scares her because she could have easily thrown off their friendship in one selfish moment.
