"Yunjin sweetie, are you going to sleep all day?"  Sakura was standing in the doorway to Yunjin's room, the door wide open and a hand on her hip.

"Hmm?" Yunjin rolled over to face her, "what time is it?" She asked sleepily as she rubbed at her eyes with her palms.

"It's nearly noon!" Sakura threw her arms up in the air, "we are leaving for the farmers market in 10 minutes if you want to come!" She called out down the hall as she made her way to the kitchen.

Yunjin groaned and rolled back over, pressing her face into her pillow.  She had only just gotten home from the greenhouse about 2 hours ago and was still exhausted. As comfortable as it was having Chaewon using her as a human pillow, between the late night movie and beating the sunrise that morning, she hadn't gotten that much sleep. Luckily it was Sunday and she knew if she got up now, she would be able to take a nap later.

So with as much energy as she could muster, she rolled out of bed and changed clothes before dragging her feet out to the living room.

"She's alive!" Zuha joked as they pulled her raincoat on.

"Oh good!" Sakura smiled as she walked in and saw Yunjin standing with Zuha, "I was afraid you were going to miss the last market day of the season."

"Of course not." Yunjin said through a yawn, "It's tradition."

"Well you better bundle up, it's been raining all morning." Sakura pulled on a pair of gloves before pulling a rain poncho over her large coat.

"Oh she knows." Zuha wiggled her eyebrows at Yunjin and gave her a knowing grin.

"What was that?" Sakura asked as she adjusted her earmuffs.

"Nothing!" Yunjin answered quickly before Zuha could get a word out. "Let's go before all the good food is gone!" She practically pushed Sakura out the door before grabbing her jacket from the hook by the door and following her out, glaring at Zuha on the way.

"I don't get it." Zuha tossed a grape in her mouth and kept walking lazily next to Yunjin while Sakura shuffled from table to table to see what everyone was selling.

"What's there to get?" Yunjin reached over and took a grape from the bunch in Zuha's hand and popped it in her mouth.

Post Halloween farmers market was barely a tradition. They did it Yunjin's freshman year and decided then to always do it. It was the last day the market ran before closing up for the winter months. Just like last year, Yunjin and Zuha followed behind as Sakura ran about buying flowers and fruit and breads and whatever else she found that looked good.

"You went on a non date-date to the carnival. Then had a movie night sleepover followed by a sunrise adventure and you aren't sure she's into you?" Zuha's eyebrows came together as they threw another grape in their mouth.

Yunjin just shrugged. The way Zuha explained it sure did make it seem like they were more than just tutor buddies.. But Yunjin couldn't help but feel nervous and confused about the whole situation. If Chaewon really did like her like Zuha was saying, why hadn't she made a move yet? It's not like there hadn't been plenty of opportunities. And Chaewon wasn't the shy type when it came to girls. At least not from what Yunjin had seen.

"So why haven't you gone for it?" Zuha stopped walking as Sakura stopped to haggle over some freshly baked bread.

"Huh." Yunjin stopped next to them, sticking her hands in her jacket pockets, "good point."

Yunjin knew she liked Chaewon, so why hadn't she gone for it? By her logic before, maybe Chaewon doesn't think Yunjin is interested.

"If I do and she turns me down, it's going to make tutoring super awkward." It was a lame excuse, and they both knew it.
