Let's just say the moment moonbyul ran back at yongsun. The girl isn't upset or bothered for taking too long in the restroom. Infact, moonbyul saw yongsun smile so wide while looking at her phone that it scared moonbyul it might torn yongsun's mouth. But that's not the only reason she's scared. She's starting to realize things and it frustrates her.

Moonbyul's absence wouldn't affect yongsun.

Is she gonna be this happy if I leave her alone for good? She thought.

All throughout the ride back home, moonbyul didn't bother to speak. She chose to stay quiet and let yongsun have a peaceful ride. Yongsun didn't bother initiating a conversation also. She think moonbyul wants to have a peace of mind knowing she have break her ego earlier for rejecting her feelings. The silence isn't awkward, but it is deafening.

"You wanna go inside?" Yongsun asked moonbyul the moment they arrived.

"Is unnie home?" Moonbyul contemplated if she'll accept yongsun's offer so the best thing to do is to ask is if yonghee's around. It will lessen the awkward atmosphere between them.

"You wouldn't know if you won't go inside." Yongsun answered ang gave her a light chuckle. Moonbyul have no other choice but to walk behind when yongsun started walking towards her apartment.

While taking small steps up to yongsun's doorstep, moonbyul have prayed for all the saints existed. She prayed for yonghee's presence to be seen inside or else she would not know what to do. Yongsun knowing her feelings and not reciprocating it made her nervous when the girl is on sight. The rejection made her confidence flew out of her body. Just so sudden, yongsun's presence is her weakness and it frustrates her.

Moonbyul's inside celebrated when yonghee appeared in their sight, watching movie in the living room's couch. Moonbyul automatically ran towards her and plopped herself beside yonghee.

Yongsun smile, thinking she find it cute. Moonbyul is like a dog who have ran excitedly when she sees her owner. But the thing is she's not a dog. She's a hamster.

"So how's the date?" Yonghee asked moonbyul the moment she saw yongsun entered her room.

"Worst? But in a good way? If that makes sense. It's not a date unnie." She answered taking the chips away from yonghee. Yonghee gave her a glare as moonbyul take a single chip towards her mouth.

"Spill byulah, don't let me guess for God's sake, and give me back my food." Yonghee protest and grab back the chips moonbyul have taken.

Moonbyul is still munching as she took a deep breath and lean her head on yonghee's shoulder. The older one instinctively wrapped her arms around byul's shoulder to give her a comfort.

"We talked and she clear everything that I'm just a friend to her. Not new." Moonbyul lazily said.

"I already know that drama. Is that all happened in the span of hours being with her?" Yonghee said, wanting moonbyul to tell her every details that happened in the restaurant.

"Well... eric called and she answered.... happily, if I may add. Tss." Moonbyul said and scoffed, internally rolled her eyes as she remembered yongsun's goofy smile.

She really hates the thought of eric.

No.

She doesn't hate eric, but she hates the fact that yongsun and him might be dating.

"If he gives her happiness, shouldn't you be happy for her?" Yonghee asked and glance at the girl leaning comfortably at her shoulder. Moonbyul fell silence for a second before she take a deep breath and fiddle her finger.
