"But, you should talk to him."

I sighed and placed my phone in between shoulder and ear as I arranged my things in the cupboard. "I don't know what to say" I muttered "I mean does he even know what a relationship is?" I asked, frustrated and hung my other dress in the cupboard.

Mom laughed from the other side and I could imagine her shaking her head. She had always enjoyed my misery and today was no exception. "It has been a year, Sana. Of course he has an idea of what you two are," she said, softly and I looked around.

Fuck cleaning.

"I don't think that's the case mom," I growled as I took a pile of clothes and pushed it in the cupboard carelessly. I wasn't going to become a clean freak because he was!

"How are studies going on?" she changed the topic and I accepted it gladly.

Throwing myself on the bed, I snuggled in my blanket. Yes I was studying literature in Konkuk University, Seoul. I came here in hopes of taking a step towards my bright future and love life but boy was I wrong?

"It's going fine. Assignments and a lot of assignments," I whined and heard her chuckle. "How are you guys doing? Is Charles doing well in the company? Is Dad taking his medicines on time?" I asked.

"Everything is going fine baby," she replied. "I'm more concerned about you," she mumbled and I turned to stare at the ceiling.

"He said he liked me and that only one time," I mumbled. "It has been a year mom. He never repeated those words let alone 'I love you,'" I said in a small voice as my face fell in disappointment.

"Do you want me to talk to Minseok?" she offered but I shook my head. I didn't want to force my feelings on him. I was better than that.

"Ani." I tried to sound enthusiastic. "I'm sure he's busy with training... I'm sure everything will be fine when we spend time together," I said, cheerfully but I knew I was lying.

I could count on my fingers how many times we've met in this past year. He hardly had time for me and as a good friend I tried to be as supportive as I could. I was still waiting for some clue that his feelings haven't changed over this year.

"How about Eun Sang and Dongwoo?" she asked and another sigh of defeat fell from my lips.

"Too busy," I replied.

Since Eun Sang and Dongwoo were in Seoul, I had expected frequent meetings with them... with Minseok. That we would meet together and chit chat about life but I guess I was wrong. And yes I haven't had anyone in university whom I could call a friend.

I would prefer the word 'Acquaintance' for those people.

Dongwoo was debuting soon and Eun Sang being the hard working student barely had any time for something called 'Hang out'. I won't blame them though.

Life happens.

And, it sucks.

"Take care of yourself and we're here for you. Okay?" Mom said and my lips curved into a small smile as I nodded unknowingly.

"I love you," I whispered as a lone tear escaped my eye.

"I love you too baby," she replied and I bit my cheek to swallow the emotions threatening to come out of my lips. I was missing my family. My friends. My Min-Min. It felt like I was back to the start all over again. I said my goodbyes and hung up on her. I checked my phone but...

Again, no message.

A loud knock on the door made me frown as I looked over my wall clock. It was past 9. Who it could be?
