Chapter 3

Siyeon

I am woken up the next morning by some noises coming from the hallway. When I look over at the bed I see that Bora is still fast asleep, unbothered by the loud passing of people outside of our room.

After letting out a yawn and stretching a bit after my rather uncomfortable night in this crappy old chair I get up and walk over to the heater. I check if our clothes are dry, which they are, and take them off of the heater. I stuff the set of clothing I wore yesterday in my bag while I lay Bora's clothes on the bed so she can put them on when she wakes up and I can get my own clothes back.

I then walk over to where I put my phone on it's charger and check the time, seeing it is only 7:43am.

I take my phone off of the charger and walk over to the chair with it. I sit myself down again and check what busses I need to take again. I already sorted out which bus I need to take when before I started this trip but since I have nothing to do I just recheck it. Yesterday I rode the bus from Seoul all the way to Daegu, where I am right now, and today I will be going from Daegu to Busan, where I will spend the night at whatever place I can find, before I, if everything goes according to plan, will reach my final destination.

I get pulled out of my thoughts when I hear Bora shift on the bed but when I look into her direction she seems to still be asleep.

Not wanting to wait much longer for her to wake up I get up and walk over to the bed.

I look down at the sound asleep girl for a few seconds before I softly shake her by her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up.

"Bora, wake up." I say when she doesn't wake up.

"5 more minutes." she mumbles, still half asleep.
"No, now." I say sternly.
"Please, just five more minutes." she says and at that I roll my eyes.

"Bora wake up, now." I say sternly as I shake her by her shoulder again.

"Bora, wake up!" I say now slightly raising my voice.
"Okay, okay, I'm up." she says as she tries to swat me away with her hand.

"I have a long day ahead so I want to leave soon. But before I can leave I need my clothes back, so get up and change. I put your own clothes on the bed." I say before I make my way back to the chair and sit down again.

Bora slowly wakes up and when she sits herself up she looks around a bit confused for a second before her eyes find mine.

"Good morning." she then says sleepily.
"Rise and shine." I say visibly irritated.
"What's the time?" she asks.
"A little before 8am." I answer.
"How long have you been up for?" she asks.
"Does it matter?" I ask.
"No, I guess not." she says before she gets out of bed and walks over to where I put her clothes, grabbing them before she disappears into the bathroom to change.

A few minutes later she comes out of the bathroom again and gives me my clothes back, which I put back in my bag immediately.

"Great, with those back I am good to go." I say as I pick up my bag and make my way to the door of the our room to leave.

"Wait." Bora says as I am about to open the door to leave, causing me to stop in my tracks and I turn around to face her.

"I-I know I promised to leave after one night, but-" she says, not finishing her sentence and looking down instead.
"But what?" I ask.
"Please don't. Please don't leave me." she says, her voice slightly breaking and I can see her holding back her tears. Unsure what to do or say I just stay silent.

"I can't do this. I-I have no idea where the hell I am. I don't know anybody here. I have nowhere to go and I-I just don't know. I don't know anything." she says.
