DATING?

Some abnormal giddy feeling filled her veins as she walked to school, an unknowing smile raising on her tinted lips.

While Hwayoung routed to the campus, a hand on the bag strap and the other left by her side, she thought of what occurred early, early this morning. Everything; from how she anticipated his return to the apartment to the kiss.

Once the Song reached the campus, she went straight to her first class that was starting in a few minutes. Irritatingly, she felt as if people around her were talking about her, glaring and chattering about her.

What are you thinking Hwayoung. Focus, they're not talking about you. Not everything is about you. They're college kids anyways, they're mature. She affirmed repetitively in her head, in hopes of ignoring the non stop stares around her figure.

As she anxiously headed down through the corridors, a female figure made her halt her steps.

"Yerin?" She mumbled under her breath, referring to the shorter female that stood across her with her arms crossed and her eyes fierce.

"Oh, hey two-timer." The Lim smiled, an obvious fake mask over it.

"What?"

"Haven't you heard anything? People are calling you a slut, a bitch and a two-timer." Her face squeezed in disgust as Hwayoung was completely confused. "I pity you." Her eyes suddenly turned innocent.

"What?"

"'What?'" Yerin mocked, a maniac laughter slipping out of her lips. Students around them began sending weird stares to the both of them, trying to mind their own business. "Is that all you can say? I know you made Jeonghan break up with me."

"No, I didn't. Stop being delusional and blaming me for everything, Yerin." Hwayoung tried to pass by but the shorter female stopped her.

"Delusional?" Yerin spoke as if she was extremely offended. "You're a fucking slut, Hwayoung. Chan, Jeonghan, Hansol, Seungkwan, what other guys do you need?"

"They're called friends, Yerin. Did you not learn that in kindergarten?" The Song provoked, unaffected by her unreasonable reasonings. "I have a class to get to, so if you could stop spreading stupid rumours about me and act mature- I would appreciate that."

Yerin watched as she walked by, mouth agape and her arms still crossed. "That bitch."

While Hwayoung walked closer to her class room, she felt somewhat proud. Proud to stand up for herself. If it was a girl she didn't know, she would be extremely scared and fearful but it was Yerin, someone she wanted to punch in the face if she had the opportunity.

Arriving back home from her one class, she immediately began studying for the upcoming exam she had on law.

As a law student, the major required a lot of writing, something that Hwayoung was skilled at. She slid out her text books and pens, pulling out a note book before practicing. Silence filled the room, only the sounds of the pen across the page could be heard. The Song's sleeves were rolled up and her hair was tucked behind her ears.

An hour after, there was a knock on the door. Although, Hwayoung wasn't aware of it, too engaged in the movement of her hand.

Instead, her roommate opened the door, knowing that she was studying and didn't want to disrupt her anymore. Jeonghan didn't have any idea of who it could be, maybe Joshua decided to visit a little bit earlier today?

As he opened the door, he was exposed to a familiar male. Dark, brown fluffy hair and a few Western features. Jeonghan recognised him from the beach trip.

"Uh, hey? Is Hwayoung here?" Hansol questioned awkwardly, surprised at the one who opened the door.

"Yeah she is- I mean, she's not, she's busy." The Yoon replied, deadpanning at the other male.

"Oh, uh. She said she's home, I'm here to study with her-"

"Nah, she isn't home. Sorry." Jeonghan quickly closed the door on the guest, feeling a sense of jealousy rise over him.

While concentrated on the assessment task, Hwayoung received a text from her phone. She picked it up after finishing her written sentence, it was a notification from Hansol. He was texting about how he got kicked out, wondering if she was even home in the first place.

The Song felt a chuckle leaving her lips as she recognised her roommate from the message. Jeonghan knew who Hansol was, but he still lied for the sake of her.

Hwayoung got out of her seat, exiting her room and heading over to the living room where she found Jeonghan resting on the couch.

"He's my friend, Han. Why'd you kick him out?" The Song joked, watching as the male stood up from his laying position and walked closer to her.

"Well, I don't want your guy friend to be here." He sulked, Hwayiung introduced to a new side of him and she couldn't help but grin.

"Well, what gives you the right to kick him out? You're not the only one living in here." She spoke out through her chuckles, finding the taller male cute.

"As your boy friend-"

"Boy friend?"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Jeonghan questioned, teasing his roommate who was unaware of the blush rising on her pale cheeks.

"Who said we were dating?"

"Me." He confessed in a non-chalant tone, towering the shorter female who avoided eye contact with him.

Hwayoung couldn't help it, she find him too adorable. Too adorable that she had to raise her hands to his face and pinch his cheeks, laughing at his startled reaction. Her eyes creased at the sight of him, her pearly white teeth never disappearing.

"A boy friend should let their girl friend invite a friend over." She scolded, even if she was standing short to the male, she acted as if she was a teacher berating him.

"Fine. But, don't do anything weird."

"What even is weird?" She inquired, furrowing her eyebrows at his sudden use of the term 'weird'. Nonetheless, he smirked before answering.

"Sex-"

"Okay. Okay. You can go now." The Song interrupted him, pushing away as she went to unlock the door for Hansol who has been waiting outside for a while. Jeonghan retreated back to his room while Hwayoung greeted her friend.

"I heard everything." He teased, unable to hold in his laughter while Hwayoung playfully slapped him on the back.
