   FOUR HOURS. I'D been waiting patiently for four long hours and I couldn't wait to see Y/N walk through the door, finally a little relaxed after the long and stressful exam week.

The spring semester was coming to an end and within a few days, all the students were going to return to their homes for a much needed break during the national holiday of Chuseok. Hardly anyone was staying behind.

Y/N included.

And I had no idea how I was going to spend that time without her keeping me company because there was no way I was staying a minute longer than absolutely necessary at my parents' house.

Chuseok was a family holiday. It was meant to be spent with family and friends. Unfortunately, my parents were neither family nor friends to me. And that usually left me spending the holiday either alone or at one of the boys' homes.

The latter was always a better option of the two. None of the boys' families ever made me feel like an outsider. I was more than welcome anywhere I went, and those three days were often the happiest ones I spent in one year.

I still ended up spending the rest of the break alone, either staying put at the dorm or going to one of the properties my grandmother had passed down to me.

But both of those options, eventually turned out to be more or less, if not equally, monotonous and nondescript with nothing more than a couple of lacklustre one night stands to kill my boredom.

Fucking stupid, if you ask me. But in my defence, I didn't know any better.

This year, however, I didn't feel like being anymore stupid than I had been in the past few years and thus, was absolutely stumped by the sheer uneventfulness of my life and my ridiculous inability to keep myself company just because I had grown so used to the presence of a certain girl who occupied my room and if not my room, the confines of my brain instead.

Sighing, I settled back against Y/N's headboard tucking both my hands under my head and stared at the pile of books she'd left scattered at the foot of my still broken bed.

It had been more than fifteen days since Jimin and Mackenzie broke it, and the replacement money Jimin had sent me was already in my account. Not that I needed it. But I certainly needed the bed to not be repaired or replaced.

At least not until Y/N got absolutely sick of me hogging up more than half of the space on her bed every night and kicked me off.

And accepting the money was a much better option than having Jimin compensate me with an actual bed.

One that I had absolutely no intentions of ever using again.

Unless Y/N shared it with me.

I glanced at the door again, practically willing the door to open so I could find her standing there. So far she hadn't explicitly mentioned anything about her plans to leave for Jeju-do, about how and exactly when she was leaving but I had a sinking feeling that it would be very soon.
