4th semester
a breezy wind blew, swaying the leaves all the way to campus. some people walk hand in hand with their friends or partners.
some walked alone carrying heavy bags, some listened to their music players and some were still half asleep.
a young man jogged towards the direction of the campus dormitory. he was so excited and couldn't stop smiling broadly. He is standing in front of the dormitory and waiting for someone.
a girl with curly hair came out and gave him a warm smile. He stretched out his arms, ready to receive a hug from the girl. the girl ran to him happily, into her lover's arms.
"how are you?" Hyun Jae asked
"like a rainbow" Hyo Joo replied
Hyun Jae released his embrace and held Hyo Joo's hand.
"Is this okay?" Hyun Jae asked
Hyo Joo nods and they walk together happily.
"Hey"
a rather high voice came from behind them Hyun jae and Hyo Joo turn around, it's Nana. "although I agree you guys are dating again but seeing this kind of scenery in the morning is really annoying" Nana said
"Don't forget, I got to know Hyo Joo first and I'm her best friend" Nana said
"yeah yeah, i know" Hyun Jae said
"let's go" Nana link her hand at Hyo Joo's and snatches her away from Hyun Jae
"wait" Hyun Jae follows and link her hand at Hyo Joo's other hand and she dragged by both of them
she then stop
"what is this? am I a prisoners?" Hyo Joo said
"it's look so weird, I can go around campus holding hand by hand with both of you" Hyo Joo said
"then choose one" Nana said
"ah, how could I do that" Hyo Joo said
"yes you can, choose me" Nana said
"hah" Hyun Jae said
they both start to take Hyo Joo's hand and pulling it right and left
"Oh here you all" Bom came with Song
"ah, Bom-aaaa" Nana release Hyo Joo's hand make her stumble, gladly Hyun Jae grab her and pull her to his arm
"you should choose me earlier. look at her"
Nana already clingy to Bom
Hyo Joo just smile
"ah look at them, honey they been lovey dovey since the morning. ah... so annoyed " Nana said
Hyun Jae and Hyo Joo just feel betrayed by Nana act and can't say nothing
"what about you, looks like you too. my eyes is irritating " Song said
"why.. why" Nana said
""stop it, you too always fight " Bom said
"let's go. it's new semester let's enjoy it" Bom said
5 of them walk to campus together
----
"let's eat" Song said
Song eat a bowl of beef noodle at canteen.
"it's early morning and you eat this for breakfast?" Bom ask Song
"what's wrong with eating this?" Song said
"and you? why you act suspicious since morning" Bom ask Hyun Jae
"nothing " Hyun Jae said
"no... definitely no. we've been friends for years and I know something must be happened "
"what's wrong with him. I didn't notice anything. he's just Hyun Jae" Song said
"no... can you see his ear really red when he's around Hyo Joo and he can't stop smiling. he's act like something huge happiness things happened " Bom said
"is that an obvious thing that we always happy around our girlfriend, right" Hyun Jae said
Song nodded
"but why your face and ear looks like want to explode " Bom said
"ah, it's cold, cold" Hyun Jae said
Bom narrows her eyes and looks at Hyun Jae suspiciously.
He put his hand on his chin and looked at Hyun Jae then said
"You did it?"
"did what, what have i did?" Hyun Jae said "Hmm... judging by the straightforwardness of your answer, it looks like my guess was right" Bom said
"what are you saying? stop that nonsense" Song said
"why it nonsense? she have girlfriend and they Hyo Joo sometimes sleep over at his place, also they already date for more than a year" Bom said
"you are the one that talking nonsense out of nowhere, honest to say aren't you the one who already did it. you didn't comeback to dorm that day after we separated from our hot springs trip, right?" Song said
"but you didn't comeback either, your mom called me and said you weren't at home either" Bom said
then suddenly something come to their sense and all said
"could it be?"
they all closing their mouth, they are surprised by the same topic but different idea in their mind.
Hyun Jae in his mind (" oh so Song didn't comeback do dorm or his house, Bom too. could it be that they already did it that day? no way)
Bom in his mind (" I know at least two of us did it, but who else?)
Song in his mind ("what is this, this so suspicious. this also awkward ")
"ah, hello everyone " Hong Joo said
Hong Joo can feel some weird tension from three of them
"aigoo... what's with the atmosphere " Hong joo scratch his hair
"Okey, bye" Hong Joo walk away
"wait" all three of them called him
----
Nana put her head at the table
"what happened? still early and you already feel sleepy?" Hyo Joo ask
"my stomach feel unwell " Nana said
"ah, what happened? is it feel pain?" Hyo Joo asked
"no, just. it's feel weird"
"should we see a doctor?" Hyo Joo said
"let's do it later. I'll just take a rest here, professor will angry if we not attend the class he will give us bad marks. so I'll attend even in pain" Nana said
----
what is this? this feel weird, Hong Joo said in his mind
Song, Hyun Jae and Bom, all of them look at Hong Joo
"do you ever did that?" Song ask
"did what?" Hong Joo confused
"that things" Hyun Jae said
"what things ?" Hong Joo said
"The things you did with your girlfriend " Bom said in low voice
"ah, kiss?" Hong joo said
"hey, lower your voice " Song said
"not that one" Hyun Jae said
"then?" Hong joo ask
"more than that" Bom said, almost whisper
"ah" Hong joo get it now
"of course I ever did it" Hong joo said
"hah, you admit it so fat" Hyun Jae said
"ah, I'm sorry. I'm Korean but I was live overseas for so long. you all must be shocked" Hong Joo said
"but why you all ask about this at this hour?" Hong joo said
"nothing just looks like there's among us who did it recently but we just keep pointing at each other without want to admit it" Hyun Jae said
"ah , is that so" Hong joo said
"it was you right " Hong joo pointing at someone
they all look at him.
"Me?"....
