"Yongsun."
"Yeah?"
"I think it's time I show you what's in the basement."
______
It was finally freshman year. Yongsun stepped off her front porch , breathed the fresh air into her lungs . She was admitted into a prestigious university known for students from wealthy families or intelligent students with scholarships.
Yongsun walked to the nearby bus stop , she sat there for awhile to wait until the morning bus had arrived.
Once the bus had arrived, she hopped onto it with a spring in her step. The bus was crowded as usual , there were a few empty seats but Yongsun being picky as ever only wanted to sit on the window seat. Barely ten minutes had passed and she was no where near a quarter to the University campus. At the next stop a majority of the passengers on the bus had gotten off since it was the city district.
Yongsun finally saw the seat she had longed for the longest time. She moved towards it and collapsed onto it immediately when it was right below her. The seat was still warm from the last passengers body temperature.
After sitting down she adjusted herself to a comfortable position. She let out a small sigh and closed her eyes for maximum comfort. She was of course weary of her surroundings, placing her bag in between the two seats. Separating her from another passenger who was yet to come.
The bus stopped for a while , it was stationary for a couple of minutes. She then heard a thud beside her even though her earphones were being blasted. It was the passenger seated next to her.
Yongsun opened her eyes tired of seeing the darkness , she turned her head to the left for a peek of the stranger beside hers' appearance .
Dark long brown hair with bangs brushed to the side , hazel colored eyes accessorized with long and soft eyelashes , lips painted with a tint of pastel pink , ears with two piercings and a rare eyebrow piercing. She looked pretty but handsome in a way , she was just so breathtaking. The stranger turned to look at Yongsun , smiled softly and mouthed some words before looking forward again.
' Wait why is my heart pounding? That's a girl Kim Yongsun. You can't have a crush on a girl , that's impossible. It's just taboo to like a girl ! Just take a breath and stay calm. Don't look back at her. '
Instead of listening to her mind , she listened to her heart and looked back again . Not turning her head back for what seemed like a eternity. She wanted to keep admiring the girl . She subconsciously blurted out the words 'perfect' .
After realizing what she had said she immediately covered her mouth and her face flushed into a dark pink.
The stranger pointed at herself and laughed, the stranger being playful winked at Yongsun making the damsel in distress's heart flutter.
Luckily her it was her stop so she quickly grabbed her bag and got off the bus. She then realized the bus had not moved from its last position. She then looked back to see the same girl alighting.
The stranger then tapped gently on Yongsun's shoulder gesturing the latter to remove her earplugs.
" Miss? Your phone .. you left it in the bus."
Yongsun startled by the touch removed her earplugs to hear the others words.
" Thank you so much... " Yongsun reaches out for her phone , her hand fingers touch the soft pale skin of the stranger making her fluttering heart pound.
" No need to mention it ! Also are from this school ? If you are , are you heading to the dorms ? " The other replied scratching the nape of her neck from an insect bite.
" Yeah. I'm studying here in Hanguk. I'm a freshman this year and I'm going to the dorms to get settled down. "
" Ah nice, I'm located at room 303. How about you ? "
" I'm located at the same room as you too... "
" Oh then you must be my new roommate. "
" I guess you are . "
The two begin to walk in the direction of the dormitories. The sound of the strangers luggages continue to click against the uneven floor.
The stranger breaks the 'silence' , " I'm Moon Byulyi but people call me Byul. I'm currently majoring in photography. You? " Byul asked politely in her gentle voice.
" I'm Kim Yongsun , majoring in broadcasting. " Yongsun replied.
Byulyi acknowledges Yongsun's reply with a hum.
Their surroundings look vintage , the campus itself looks vintage. The two continue walking until they reach their dormitory.
Yongsun reaches into her purse to fish out the keys . She unlocks the door swiftly .
" Where are your luggages? " Byulyi looked at Yongsun.
" Ah they're coming to me later at night. My parents are bringing them to me. "
Byulyi scoffs , " parents.."
"Did you say something Miss Moon?"
" Ah it was nothing. "
" It looks like they only have one bed . " Byulyi states.
Yongsun looked at Byul and nodded.
' Only one bed?! How am I going to spend the night with her... god dammit. Wait why am I so worried about this ? I'm a hetero woman. I'm sure of it ' She thought to her self with her lips pressed tightly against each other.
"Uhh Miss Kim.. can I say something?"
"Yea yeah of course!"
"You're really pretty.. in fact you're beautiful." Byul says unpacking her clothes from her luggage.
" You t- Thank you Miss Moon. Feel free to call me Yongsun I don't mind."
Yongsun's heart couldn't stop pounding at the compliment.
" Call me Byul or Byulyi it'll be less awkward that way. " Byul smirked followed by a giggle .
' Oh my god .. she's so cha- wait why am I thinking like this again?! This is wrong . Very wrong. Keep it together Yongsun! '
She slapped her cheeks together to keep herself sober from Byul's charms .
Byul continued to unpack but a smile was left on her face .
'Adorable.. I wanna get closer to her. To Kim Yongsun.'
Byulyi got up to turn the thermostat on since the coldness from the outside was starting to seep in through the cracks of the door and windows.

[ one night before ]
" Dad what's so special about the basement." Yongsun rolled her eyes expecting nothing interesting.
" You'll see." Her father replied in a stern voice.
The two walked down the wooden staircase. It made a creaking noise with each step they took .
" Oh come on I've been in the basement before there isn't anything interesting here what do you mean. " Yongsun rolled her eyes again .
With a flip of a lever , a secret entrance was open. Her father walked through the entrance hastily after Yongsun had walked though it.
" What the hell is this ... guns? Dad what are these for! " Yongsun exclaimed .
" Werewolf hunting. "
" Pfft don't give me that bullshit. Oh co- "
" My precious daughter. They're real. Your mother and I have decided to tell you now because there are packs of them coming to Seoul at the moment. Your air rifle skills haven't gone to waste my sweetheart. We've trained you to kill. Not compete in some tournament. " Her father cut Yongsun off
" Oh my god... "
Just then the phone rang.
" Yongsun. Quick go answer the phone. Also do not tell anyone about this or suffer the consequences regardless of your relationship to me. Understood? "
" Yes father.. " Yongsun quickly went to answer the ringing phone . Her father then quickly shut the entrance off.
