chapter 18: see u

1:15 AM, Saturday, January 9th, 2022

After talking for awhile with Yeeun and Choerry, the you all decided to have a long overdue sleepover. The three of you sat on your bed, a random show playing on your tv as you applied a sheet face mask.
"Really?" Yeeun smoothed out the sheet.
"Yeah, so I'm glad our team got a new coach," Choerry said.
"For real, coaches should not be saying that to their players." you chimed in to their conversation.
"I'm really craving chips and soda right now," Yeeun said.
"Oh my gosh we should go to the uh, um, what's the word?" Choerry snapped her fingers as she tried to remember.
"Convenient store?" you chuckled.
"Yes!!" Choerry said.
"Well there is one a couple roads over, we just have to sneak out." you said.
"Sounds good to me," Yeeun said.

Fifteen minutes passed and the three of you were removing the face masks.
"Y/N have you texted Beomgyu yet?" Choerry rubbed in the extra serum from the mask.
"Not yet, I don't know think it's the right time," you dried off your face with a towel.
"What do you mean?" Yeeun asked.
"I would much rather talk in in person, and I'm not really sure what to say." you told them.
"You live near Beomgyu's house right?" Choerry asked you.
"Yeah, why?"
"You should go now then!" she said.
"What?!" you were surprised by her proposal.
"Yeah, while we go to the convenient store, you go to Beomgyu's and make up!" she said.
"Or make out," Yeeun joked, making kissy faces at Choerry.
"So you're saying, sneak out of my house, and sneak into Beomgyu's house? No way," you denied.
"How about this, we all three go to Beomgyu's, text him that you're outside and want to talk," Choerry said.
"Then once you've made it inside safely, we'll go to the convenient store, and get you on our way back." she said.
"That plan is not as easy as you're making it out to be," you rubbed moisturizer into your skin.
"Yeah but you realize the longer you wait, the more awkward it's gonna get." Yeeun added. They have a point, kinda? What?! No! This is dumb!! But it would be kind of romantic if it went well... Or terribly if he wants to break up!!
"Okay, let's do it." you didn't care anymore. Choerry was right, the longer you waited, the more damage would be done.
"Yessss!" Yeeun grabbed her sweatshirt.

You closed the back door behind you slowly. The air was cold, your hood covering your head.
"Wallet?" Choerry asked Yeeun.
"Check," she said.
"Phone?"
"Check,"
"Keys?"
"Check!" you whispered.
"All right let's get going," Choerry whispered.

The three of you had been walking for about ten minutes now. The street lights glared down at you, the world was silent, the only sounds to be heard was each other's breathing. Yeeun walked along side you, rubbing her arms.
"I should've drove here," she shivered.
"I was thinking the same thing, but a car definitely would've woken my dads up." you said. You spotted that infamous brown house.
"That's it right over there," you pointed. You could see your breath illuminated in the light. You began to feel nervous as the three of you approached the house.
"Oh my gosh," Choerry said.
"What??" you turned to her, a worried look on your face.
"His house is so big, I knew he was loaded!" she snapped her fingers.
"Oh, yeah," you sighed. You led the girls to the side door of his house. You motioned them to go hide behind a bush farther back. Then, once they were out of sight, you pulled out your phone. Normally, you would've texted him beforehand to make sure he was awake, but this time was different. You were so nervous that you were kind of hoping for him to be asleep; you purposefully lowered your chances of seeing him.

y/n: are you awake?
Delivered

No response. You felt relieved yet disappointed at the same time. You waited another minute, still no response. You were about to turn to the girls in the bush when your phone buzzed.
