That night, I laid awake in my bed thinking about what had happened in the auditorium earlier. I didn't know why I let myself slip away like that, but yet it was rare for me to do so.

I rolled to my side, and placed my arm under my pillow and looked at the window of my bedroom, and saw the full moon.

I reached towards my chest, to the place where my heart rests under, and felt the steady rhythm of my beating heart.

"Ugh!" I sat up, and ran my hands through my hair, frustrated at how confusing it was.

This wasn't me. This wasn't me at all. This was the old Hyeri.

I laid back down heavily, and sighed deeply.

I turned to my alarm clock to see it was only 11:46 pm and reached towards my nightstand to grab my phone to text the person who was an expert at helping me out with this stuff.

I sent a text to Yura to see if she was still awake.

Turns out, she still was.

Since today was already Friday, I wanted to plan a girls day for tomorrow for the 4 of us. I began to text Yura about my plans, and she read it, and sent back a message that she was available for it.

I told her to text the other 2 girls that, and bid a goodnight and a I love you to her before I shut my phone off and placed it back on my nightstand where it will charge.

All of a sudden, I heard the distant music coming out from my window.

Curiosity got to me, and I got out of my bed and walked towards the window. I saw nothing around, but when I turned my head to the right, I heard someone playing the piano loudly.

Wait a second. Was that him?

As I listened, it was almost like the song he played for me at the auditorium but I guess he changed it up. I sighed, and crossed my arms. What was he doing up this late to be playing the piano... unless...

I placed my hand on my forehead when I realized what he said to me earlier.

"That's okay. I'm not done with it yet. Maybe you'll like it when it's completely finished."

I crouched down in a sitting position, unable to process what was going on.

He was trying to make the song better for me to like it. And he was serious about it.

My mind told me that I should go and apologize what I said before, but my heart told me that I shouldn't, and that it was yet another trap for me to run into. I was confused again, and ended up sitting on the ground near my open window, listening to the song he was playing.

It was... soothing somehow.

It began to make my eyes droop when I heard his voice softly drift in my window.

"I can't beat my sad heart

again I'm enduring the dark and sleepless nightswithout regard for my despairthe morning indifferently wakes me..."

He had a very nice deep voice, yet it was soft and warm... too warm.

I then closed my eyes, and went to sleep thinking about his voice.

"Wake up, wake up!"

A pillow smacked into my face, and I opened my eyes to see it was Yura sitting on my bed, along with Minah and Sojin in the room. "It's 12 in the afternoon!"

"What are you doing sleeping on the floor near your window?"

Sojin asked, and I turned and my neck started to hurt because of my position I slept in.

"So... I don't know?" I mumbled, and put the pillow on my head to stuff the noise the groaning they were making, but Yura pulled it off, and smacked me with it again.

"We are going to the mall! Get your fat butt up or I'm going to have to drag you by your hair!"

Yura threatened me, but I just groaned.

"Nooo..." I trailed off, closing my eyes.

"That's it. Sojin, you take your position." Yura said, and at once, I bolted up.

"I'm awake."

I say with a tight smile, looking at Sojin who was about to become an unni that we all fear. She smiled back, and I began to stand up.

After going to the bathroom, I began to change into another dark outfit to get ready for the mall.

I didn't know why they wanted to go to the mall out of all places, but I halfheartedly liked it and wanted to go shopping anyways.

"That's too gothic Hyeri!" Minah complained when she saw my outfit.

I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Aniyo... it's more like grunge. I like it. It's aesthetic." Sojin said and winked at me.

"Okay . Let's go then!" Yura said, and off we went downstairs and out the front door where Sojin's car was waiting. She got her license right when she turned 18.

She's the oldest out of all of us, and we expected her being the 'mother' of our group.

We all know where each other's house keys were, explaining how they got inside my house to wake me up like that. I should hide it more carefully next time.

We walked through the mall, drinking bubble tea as we walked and talked about. It was like the other times we went to the mall, but this time I didn't talk as much as before.

Taehyung's voice somehow stuck in my brain ever since last night, and I could help but think about it. I wondered what he meant with the words he sang about.

"Yah, Hyeri! Weren't you listening?" Yura smacked my head.

"No!" I yelled in her face, and she made this face that made the both of us began to laugh. We walked towards the food court, and I couldn't help but do this happy dance.

You see, food to me... the way I put it is:

Food is love.

Food is life.

I looked down at my wallet to see I didn't have that much cash on me, so I had a plan B.

I stepped out, and stood in front of Sojin unni.

I made a pout face, and began to use my aegyo on her.

"Unniiii... I don't have any money and I'm very hungryyy." I say, rubbing my stomach.

She sighed, and raised her eyebrows. "Last time...okay ?!"

With that, she pulled out some cash for me, and I started to celebrate.

"Can I have some food too?" Yura said, and Sojin glared at her.

"Yah, just go with Hyeri! I'm not your mother." She said to Yura, and pushed her to me, and we both celebrated together. "You two. We'll be sitting over there, where the boys are, alright?"

She pointed to one particular table. I looked up, and saw the boys sitting there and waving over to us. Well, they didn't tell me they were meeting up with them.

When I spotted Taehyung looking at me, I turned around, and pulled Yura with me to one of the food stores. And he was here too.

Of course.

"Why did you pull me away like that?" Yura asked me when we got in line to get food.

"Because Taehyung is here too." I mumbled, and she just elbowed me.

"So? You two can always get along." Yura said with a sly smile, and I just smacked her arm.

"Yah, I will not." I say.

"Yes you will." She said and pushed me lightly.

"No I will not!" I pushed her back, but that only caused her to unleash her hulkness, and she pushed me so hard that I stumbled into the couple in front of us.

"Ah, sorry-" I started to say when I bumped into them when I looked up at the guys face.

The warmth flooded out of me when I recognized him.

He was my exboyfriend.
