I sit at the edge of my bed, towel on my head. I have 30 minutes till afternoon classes, I should be able to make it in time if I run. kun comes out of the bathroom changed into a black oversized tee and grey sweat shorts with his white button up shirt he was wearing a minute ago in his hands.
"Put this on," he tosses the shirt to me.
"I probably shouldn't you'll get in trouble for not wearing your uniform," I reach my hand out to return it but he pushes it back.
"No need I'm not going to class," he says as he pulls out snacks from his drawer and jumps into bed.
"Your skipping?"
"Uh, I do it all the time is that a problem?" He looks at me innocently. I shake my head and head to the bathroom to change.

I stare out the window of the classroom, lost in thought.
"Helloooo, class is over!" San waves his hand at my face snapping me out of thought. I look around the empty classroom.
"Alright, alright" I say grabbing my bag.
"So tomorrow we should hold a meet up with the crew and go out for drinks, what do you think?" He suggests.
I nod and agree as I leave him alone in the room. I can use this as an excuse to get Amy's number. I smile devilishly as I walk down the hall.
Then a sudden thought pops into my head. kun skipped class because of me, how should I repay him? I seem to be a burden to him already. This might become a usual thing.
I sigh and then I'm stopped when I suddenly hear kuns name mentioned between a group of girls.
"Didn't you hear? kun skipped class today?"
"What? He never skips class!"
"Aye karp!" a girl runs up to me, "Could you hand these notes to kun?"
"Sure," I say as she runs back to her group.
Ha, he has all the girls on him, they all worry for him, what luck! But.... why did he lie to me?
I glance at the notes as I walk away, like hell I'll give these to him!

"Here, some girl gave you her notes," I say jealously as I dropped the books on his bed.
What exactly am I jealous about? Him? Or her?
"Ok, I'll look at it later," he says while playing a game on his phone.
I don't have the guts to ask why he lied to me, it's none of my business, why should I care?
I roll my eyes as I drop my bag at the foot of the bed and belly flop onto the soft mattress.
Then I remember I'm wearing his shirt. Shit.
I head to the bathroom and change into an oversized blue shirt and some sweatpants. His shirt now washed hangs outside on the line and I flip back onto my bed. When I glance over he has fallen asleep, phone on stomach and empty snack bags surround his legs. Quietly and steadily I plug his phone in the charger, throw away the trash, and look back at him. How cute, I think as I form a little smile.
Wait Shit! I slap my stupid brain. What the hell am I thinking?!
I shiver and waddle to bed.

I wake up to the sound of the shower, and I get up to do a cat stretch.
It is foggy once again outside but more pouring then yesterday which means I'll have to hitch a ride from San. Ugh.
The door clicks open and kun walks through in his uniform.
I start to think if kun will need a ride or if he has one already but I don't ask.
"No need to be quiet," he says as he rubs a towel against his hair.
"I-I'm not trying to be," I start, "I was just gonna say it's gonna rain hard today." Do you need a ride? I keep that part to myself.
"Uh, I know," Is all he says as he grabs his bag to leave, " by the way roomie....it's 8 o'clock."
"Shit!" I yell jumping out of bed.
He laughs a little and then the door closes behind him.
Rushing to get ready for half an hour, I hop around the room while shoving my leg through my pants. And bump my thigh on his side table.
"Owww Shit!"that's gonna leave a bruise. But I notice he left his phone and I sigh. Guess I'll have to take it to him?
I get a call from San telling me he's waiting in the car, so I hurry out with kuns phone in my pocket.
The drive doesn't take too long when I get a message. Not for me. But kun.
From: tai
Don't tell me your walking again in this pouring rain?
kun is..... walking?
"San could you drop me off at the engineering department?" I ask.
"Why? Your gonna be late." He scrunches his nose as he watches the windshield wipers move.
"Don't worry I'll make it." I'm unsure but for some reason it doesn't matter if I'm late.

I spot kun and I rush out.
"Hurry I'll wait here, but don't take too long!" San says over the seat.
I nod opening my umbrella and slide the van door shut.
When I catch up I notice the tips of his pants are soaked and his broad shoulders don't quite fit in his umbrella so his sleeves are soaked. He also didn't bring a jacket, only wears his uniform rolled up at the sleeves. What an idiot......you can catch a cold.
I tap his shoulders and he turns around looking at me.
He stares at me warmly with his sharp eyes and sniffles. My heart is beating again and I pause staring at his sharp soft lips.
"Did you need something?" He asks.
"Uh," I snap out of thought and hand him his phone, "you left this at the dorm."
He grabs it and thanks me and I'm back to staring at him.
"Let's switch umbrellas," I hear myself say, "mine is wider it's should keep you dry more."
He nods and we switch.
"Well thanks see you later," he says as he walks inside.
"Next time," I yell after him and he turns to look at me again with those eyes, "if your gonna walk please wear a coat."
My thoughts go crazy, what's he gonna say? I breathe heavily and my heart beats fast as I wait for his reply.
"I will," he says with a smile that kills, "thank you."
I watch his back as he walks away and I smile feeling all accomplished. Is this friendship that I feel? Or something more? I shake my head and go back to the van.
"I told you not to take so long now I have to run some red lights," San whines, "what were you even doing?"
I buckle my seat belt with a small smile, "Just returning something."
"Sure, sure," he says as he starts the engine, "let's just hurry or our professor might make us do squats for being late."
