I made my way out and luckily Yooa was still there. She smiled instantly when she saw me and waved her hands.

"I'm sorry about that Yooa, where are we again?" I told her while scratching my head due to embarrassment.

"No worries, seems like Miss President need for you something haha. Should we take a walk now?" Yooa said leading the way.

While walking, a bunch of people are looking at us. Some students are greeting Yooa and smiling at me shyly.

"Wow, you're pretty popular." I teased Yooa.

"You're kidding haha. They seem to be more interested in you."

"Me? How come?" I asked her.

Not to lift my chair but some of them are staring at me intently. I don't know if I wore my clothes wrong or if I have dirt on my face.

"Really? Everybody's talking about you Byeol, you need to socialize more." Yooa told me seriously.

"That's what I want but I don't know how," I confided.

Yooa placed her index finger on her maw and looked at me intently.

"How about you come to the bonfire later? I'll introduce you to my friends?" Yooa offered.

I had to think twice to this tho, there's some part of me that I want but I'm too scared. What if they find me weird or something?

"Come on, don't think about it too hard," Yooa whined. I smiled at her.

"Alright alright, no need to whine. I'll be there." I said.

"Yippie!" Yooa exclaimed while pulling my arms. I laughed at her cuteness.

Yooa is undeniably cute. The way she talks and everything about her screams cuteness.

We resume walking while chatting until we came back to the front of the hotel.

"So, I'll meet you later Byeol Yi! It was nice spending time with you." Yooa sincerely said as she waves her hand and walks away.

I bid her goodbye and smiled.

When she was out of my sight, I decided to go back to our room since I have nowhere to go.

I suddenly remembered what happened earlier.

Yongsun is too possessive. Too possessive of someone who isn't even hers.

I entered our room. I was about to lay on my bed when I noticed that someone was laying on Yongsun's bed.

I quickly checked on the room number to make sure I entered the correct room, and I am.

"Uhm excuse me?" I politely asked.

The girl slightly turned around and removes her AirPods.

"Are you in the correct room?" I asked while pointing the at the door.

"Ah! about that, Yongsun eonni switched room with me. I thought you knew. I'm Alice by the way." The girl said as she puts back her Airpods.

See? I don't get her childish acts. I mean, I know that she clearly said she likes me and stuff but, being this too possessive is ridiculous.

I went outside to find her and at least talk to her. I mean, I don't to be in bad terms with her either, she's still Wheein's sister after all.

I was about to go to the receptionist to ask when a girl approached and asked if I was looking for Yongsun.

Thanks to her I knew where to find her.

I entered the elevator and went to the 3rd floor.

She exchanged room with the girl earlier and she's in room 1119.

I knocked at the door and after two more extra knocks the door opened.

Yongsun was drying her hair with a towel looking so pissed. Again. What's new?

"What---"

"Eonni."

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Yooa?" She asked while raising her eyebrows.

I make myself inside and sat on one of the chairs.

"Can you stop being so possessive? You don't need to act like that, and clearly, no place to be."

I looked at her directly in the eyes while saying it to her. She seems unbothered by it but a hint of pain? is evident from her eyes.

"It's that what you came here for?" Yongsun said while crossing her arms.

"Yes."

"Okay. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable or whatever. It'll never happen again." Yongsun said sincerely and sadness is present in her voice.

"You can leave now. I'm sorry again."

I immediately regretted what I have said and done.

"Leave." She uttered once again as I didn't move an inch.

"Leave can't you understand?" She tried making her voice calm.

Her eyes are slowly building tears which made me feel more guilty.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean it that way." I apologized while looking down.

I can't bear to look at her. It's my first time seeing her like that. I knew her as a dominant and cheerful person.

"Save it. Just leave. Please?"

I bowed to her before making my way out. There's something inside me that wants me to hug her and comfort her. But my body just can't. And it appears to be ridiculous for me to do that when I am the one who made her feel awful.
