 ( / purses her lips together, unable to react with the other’s revelation ) b–but why? i mean, what do you see in me. i just don’t understand– i mean i’m just an ordinary human being. ( / her both eyebrows furrowed, eyes filled with wonder as her gaze remained at haena ) – ( / she couldn’t suppress the laugh that slipped out of her throat – it was almost teasing, obviously quite amused at the other’s attempt to push her away ) you know– ( / her arm sneakily securing around her roommate’s shoulder, pulling her even closer as her gaze averted, finally looks away to nothing in particular ) i don’t mind. ( / her shoulders shrug nonchalantly ) i mean, i could give all the hugs you need if that would make you happy or if that’s what you need. who wouldn’t want to see that bright smile of yours, i definitely would do anything to make you smile. ( / a comforting smile forms on her lips as she looked at her roommate, her finger leaning to touch the corner of haena’s lips, tugging it upward as if she was forcing her to smile ) well – unless you want it to stop? are you somehow… regretting that you’re having this kind of feelings? ( / she bit her bottom lip anxiously )

haena tapped her foot impatiently against the floor. she wasn’t sure how long the lecture was going to last and she had wanted it to finish the moment it started. the weather was constantly changing as of late and her mind was drifting off someplace else. as the professor talked about historical periods and the evolution of music, she thought of how an innocent pair of kittens were out in the rain.

it was purely accidental when she stumbled upon them. the place in which the original “owner” had placed them was just below an ancient and large cherry blossom tree. it was far from the school grounds and didn’t look as if it will be noticed by others. she or he who made the shelter for the kittens had very little resournces, haena thought, as their home was made out of carton. haena had tied a makeshift roof in the form of an umbrella in case it rained and even bought small cat feeder bowls. every lunch time she would walk to the tree and pour them some food and milk. if only she could take them to her own dorm but pets weren’t allowed in the freshman dorms and she couldn’t find anyone who would take care of them.

it was a solo performance. no one was supposed to hear anything other than her voice teacher. it started off as a request, really. she had asked for her to personally coach her on some of the obvious mistakes she made while singing. after a few more sessions they had decided to make it a meeting between them both at least two to three times a week. as per usual, she was earlier than said professor and was already standing on stage. it was lit immensely, something that haena had to get used to still. her eyes were slowly adjusting to the light as she was walking around and warming up her vocals. she had only waited half an hour before one of the auditorium doors opened and out came her professor.

“good morning!” she greeted with a slightly nervous smile.

“good morning, haena ssi. it’s always good to see you so early,” the older woman replied with a sleepy smile.

she bowed and smiled faintly. “i apologize for always waking you up.”

a dismissive hand was waved her way as she took a seat closest to the stage. she had coffee on one hand and her bag slung on her other shoulder which she placed on the seat beside her. “you’re free to sing whenever you’re ready. have you practiced well on the piece?”

haena nodded once. she had been singing anywhere remotely deserted as to not bother anyone. she was ready. if only her nerves would let her sing properly. she placed a hand on her stomach, taking a deep breath and slowly let her voice meld with the song.

yeah. i’ll set up a day sometime so you guys can meet, she’s an amazing person!! ( / nods excitedly ) well - um, i don’t – know. ( / trails off as she bit her bottom lip, obviously flustered once more about this topic ) i just like her, i mean, not because she’s a girl. it’s just – happened. ( / laughs nervously as she covers her both reddened, flustered cheeks out of embarrassment ) it is indeed scary.. ( / she commented, though her words were more of a whisper as she continued to listen attentively to haena’s words, anticipating every words she manage to speak ) – ( / she felt her heart beat stopped the moment that the topic suddenly became about her, unsure how to react but her gaze remained at the other and as soon as the other had finished speaking, her eyes landed on the grip against her bed sheet, it took her momentarily to finally respond, her hand had find it’s way to the other’s, placing it just above hers as she grabbed a hold of her hand softly and carefully ) i um – ( / laughs nervously once more, almost trying to uplift the mood ) you were – always searching for me in a crowd? ( / she repeats, her eyes felt like it was sparkling as she gazed at her room mate, the corner of her lips slowly curves into a faint smile ) hmm– ( / she leans closer, the faint smile suddenly disappears, once again, appearing more serious once again ) what’s so wrong about it? ( / her tone sounded quite teasing )

so many good choices. omg. but joohyuk though…

( / she gasps once more, realizing that they had such similar experience ) oh my god– we literally have the same experience. we also had a summer fling. ( / her eyes still wide as ever, obviously could not believe such coincidence ) y–yeah, but mine had a different direction, i didn’t really thought we’d meet again, but i – ( / bites her bottom lip, slightly feeling guilty ) i left her. i didn’t had a chance to say goodbye, i was such in a hurry ( / sighs frustratingly as she looked down, her lips curving into a warm smile after a few ) but guess what, we actually met once again! and in this school. maybe you guys should meet. she’s really a nice person, you probably would get along well. ( / she took a quick glance at her room mate that was sitting beside her, still having that smile plastered on her face ) oh wow. that was so cute, and romantic. ( / she couldn't help but to grin, her eyes widening after a few seconds as soon as the word her sunk into her mind ) w–wait a second, did you just said her!? ( / her eyes looked elsewhere upon feeling nostalgic about it, sighing dreamily at the thought, pulling her knees closer as she hugged them – she couldn’t help but to smile once more at the thought ) i honestly couldn’t even remember exactly how mine happened, but i still remember how it felt. ( / once she heard the other, she gazed at her room mate once again, this time her smile wasn’t visible, and she appeared more serious than earlier ) well, first things first, is there someone you like then? 

well. ( / she trailed off, unsure how to respond to the question ) i never really had an official one? i mean it felt like we were on a relationship, yet we didn’t labeled it officially? ( / laughs embarrassingly ) i honestly don’t know how to explain it, but somehow, did you get what i mean? ( / she gazed at her room mate intently ) what the hell – how would that even happen? he must be such a douchebag ( / sighs frustratingly, shaking her head in disapproval ) tsk tsk. boys will always be boys. ( / her shoulders shrugging, however, upon hearing the response about her having her first kiss, she immediately gasped, obviously surprised about the revelation ) oh my god, are you serious. wow. i’m – quite surprised? how was it, then? your first kiss? how did it go? ( / the question that was thrown at her made her cheeks tinted once again in a deep shade of red ) well um– it was nice. how do i even – explain it. oh gosh ( / she bit her bottom lip, obviously flustered about the topic ) it was… wonderful, like – um. ( / with haena now sitting beside her, she was even more flustered than ever, and she decided to look away. she couldn’t even look at haena at this rate ) like you wanted the world to stop spinning, you wanted the time to stop, it was a wonderful experience. it was like something you don’t want to end. ( / her gaze remained elsewhere ) i um – h–how about you?

( / her eyes blinked almost instantly ) ah - what? oh– no, of course. w-what are you saying– ( / her tone sounded a little defensive as she laughed nervously, coughing before she gave her answer to her room mate’s question – obviously trying to change the topic already ) um well– ( / bites her bottom lip ) i guess so.. i’m not so sure if i should consider it a relationship.. ( / she said reluctantly ) maybe a few flings here and there, but not in a serious relationship. ( / she touches both her cheeks that were probably tinted in a red shade, obviously flustered about the topic ) i – um how about you though? have you been in a relationship before? ( / she eyed her curiously ) perhaps, h–have you already had your first kiss?

( / it took her momentarily to respond ) oh yeah right. ( / a sigh of relief escaped from her lips ) you know, you should’ve just told me straight that you wanted to play that, i mean – for a while back there i thought you were going to say something – not good. ( / the book on her hand now completely disappearing as she placed it carefully on the side table, taking off her glasses as she did so ) well, i did know what i said. ( / chuckles softly as she adjusted her position comfortably on her own bed, her gaze averted back to her room mate, a soft smile formed on her lips ) okay.. well, this kinda surprised me and i’m totally not prepared for this. ( / nervously laughs ) how about you start it then?

( / lowers down the book she was holding, her gaze averted from the book she was reading, not even bothering to take off her reading glasses as she gave her room mate a curious look. ) hm? what is is, haena?

The smile on her face only grew as she opened the mysterious letter and read its contents. The woman couldn’t help but let out a small laugh and went to go set the paper down on her desk as a result. “That’s the third one this week!” She joked, but even still her words held truth.

“What was your name? You look familiar! Maybe I’ve seen you around the department before. Don’t look so scared, sweetheart! I don’t bite.”

Haena could only look at the professor in mild fear. She looked stern and her features that were certainly weren’t common made Haena fear her even more. Usually, the young teen would feel either a.) fear or b.) insecurity when faced with such beautiful women. Right now she was just waiting for the other to change from her friendly demeanor to something else. “Uhm...” She was frozen in her spot. And she certianly didn’t know how to answer her.

She was only startled awake when the envelope was taken from her hand. But she still stood there, still as ever. She let the other take the letter. Hopefully she could go away soon. She was just a messenger, nothing more. Surely she wouldn’t be mad at her for interrupting her peaceful smoking session? Or for bothering her with a student’s letter of confession? 

Her mouth slowly opened and stayed that way when she saw her smile. It was so pretty she was startled and frozen on her spot again. She laughed and it was musical and Haena was in shock and awe and a lot of other things. “I--” She tried to form the vowels and consonants and knit them together but had difficulty doing so for a few minutes. “I suppose you...g-get them regularly?” She asked, voice a bit small. Uhm...” She paused, a faint blush adorning her cheeks. “My name’s Haena. Kang Haena.”

Her mouth still hung open as she did her introduction. But instead of fear she was now in awe.
