Chapter 28: Confused

***

Author's POV

It was already night time and it was super quiet in the girl's dorm, which was a very odd and unusual thing for them. Currently both Ryujin and Chaeryeong are getting ready to sleep after a long day; they were ready to hit the hay.

But that is until Chaeryeong stopped Ryujin from doing so. Chaeryeong then gestured for Ryujin to sit down on her bed and wait for her to finish getting ready for sleep. Ryujin then released a sigh, as she knows where this talk would end up and she doesn't like it.

"Ryujin, why did you disagree with Minju earlier?" Chaeryeong said to Ryujin, asking her. After Chaeryeong said that Ryujin's eyes quickly filled with tears, that were threatening to fall off anytime soon.

"I don't want to get my hopes high. It's already worst for me to fall in love with Beomgyu. I just don't want it anymore; I don't want the heartbreak, Chae. Oh how I wish all of this didn't happen, and then maybe I could've lived my life the way it was before I met him." Ryujin said to Chaeryeong, as tears started flowing out of her eyes.

Taehyun was currently fixing his school uniform for tomorrow, when he decided to open a topic to Beomgyu.

"So why the sudden disagree with Minju earlier? When you know it for yourself that maybe it is actually true?" Taehyun said to Beomgyu, while still busy fixing his school uniform.

For a couple of moments Beomgyu was just quiet and didn't say a thing. That is until Beomgyu released a sigh, and not the one which most people confuse for the lazy and sleepy type, it's the type of a problematic sigh. "I just don't want to raise my hopes for her, I guess?" Beomgyu said to Taehyun while just lying down on his bed.

Chaeryeong was just busy comforting Ryujin, handing her tissues from time to time, but mostly patting her back. That is before Chaeryeong spoke to Ryujin about the topic. "There's nothing wrong with it you know? Well except for the part where you have your hopes high for him just believe what Minju said earlier and then what could you lose to be exact? Nothing Ryujin, there must be a reason why both Beomgyu and Taehyun are always showing up in your dreams you have to understand that as well, Ryujin." Chaeryeong said to Ryujin, still comforting her and then smiled at her.

Once Ryujin was slowly feeling better, and has slowly stopped crying. Although Ryujin's eyes were all red because of it, she was already okay.

Chaeryeong then messed up Ryujin's hair. "Come on let's go to sleep. We still have school for tomorrow." Chaeryeong said to Ryujin, as she went to her bed and got ready to sleep.

<<<>>>

"Then why not just confess to Ryujin then? I mean that sounds much more logical than anything you've been doing the moment we started attending this school you know?" Taehyun said to Beomgyu, as he looked at him with an eyebrow raised at him.

"Did you just see what happened earlier today? We can't even start a normal conversation with one another how can I just confess to her? Taehyun, that's just you know?" Beomgyu said to Taehyun, as he glared at him.

"Fine but let's just go to sleep already I feel tired already..." Taehyun said to Beomgyu, as he yawned and then stretched his hands.

"Good night, Beomgyu..." Taehyun said to Beomgyu, as he went to bed.

"Good night, Taehyun..." Beomgyu said to Taehyun, as he turned off the lamp in the room.

<<<>>>

"Good night, Ryu..." Chaeryeong said to Ryujin, as she dozed off.

"Good night, Chae..." Ryujin said to Chaeryeong, as she looked at her sleeping figure and turned off the lamp beside her bed.
