To my own dismay, my brain works entirely different from what I actually want it to do.

Soon, I saw my finger abruptly pointing at him, his copying the gesture.

Our jaws dropped in unison.

It wasn't that getting rejected still hurt.

I was just afraid that he'll report me to the manageme- oh right he's here too.

I just snapped out of my thoughts before pulling my finger back to myself before closing my mouth.

I groaned, rolling my eyes before pushing past the crowd of drunk fools.

I was quite revealed when I had found out that I had successfully managed to get out of the nauseating atmosphere which I oh-so hated.

A string of muffled profanities left my lips at the sight of a familiar figure from the company.

I swiftly pushed on my black mask and pulled on my hood.

Unreluctantly walking towards the passing figure.

I had successfully hadn't gotten caught and as soon as I was out of the area, I begun running for my dear life.

it was past 1 in the morning and I had practice at 4.

I didn't hesitate when I had made the decision that I was about to screw up before quietly entering the silent dorm.

Carefully taking each step, I had arrived my shared room, my roommate sound asleep as I locked the door, slipping into bed as soon as I could.

Fortunate me, my timing was just perfect.

The elder woke up as soon as I had settled, looking around the room, a bit scared (?)

I watched her every move through my half-closed lids.

He feet had met the ground and she softly made her way towards my still frame.

"Seoljin-ah..." She softly whispered, a weak shake following her voice.

I didn't budge.

"Seoljin..." She repeated, her voice a bit louder this time.

Before I knew she would start yelling my name out, I quickly fluttered my eyes before sitting up, my face wearing a surprised expression.

Thank God that I got mom's acting ski-

"Seoljin... I heard the door close? Did you hear it too?"

I tried stifling a giggle before asking her of what non sense she was talking about.

"No, I'm serious, Seoljin. I heard the door open and close a minute ago."

"When exactly?" I asked, my tone instantly changing into a serious one.

"Remember the first time I called you?"

"Ye- No..."

"Well I paused and heard the door closing, nonetheless."

I didn't hesitate to get on my feet as soon as I had processed what she had just said.

And I knew who would be the only one who would sneak out at such an hour.

It wasn't just me.

"Seulgi."
