As Minju took one last sigh and looked at herself on the mirror in front of her. Minju then started slapping herself checking as if she was okay or not. Soon after Minju did that she released another sigh and then smiled afterwards. Minju then started to walk towards the door of the comfort room, as she turned the knob of the door to open it. Minju heard a knock coming out from the other side of the door.

Minju then quickly opened the door just to be met by a confused looking Ryujin. Minju then started feeling a bit of intimated under Ryujin's gaze that was on her. Minju then smiled at her then moved to the side motioning for Ryujin to enter the comfort room. Then Minju started to try to slip out of the comfort room, and as she did that she tried not to get noticed by Ryujin.

Minju then still tried to leave the place while Ryujin is still in her thoughts. Ryujin then snapped out of her thoughts and then looked at where Minju is and stopped her from her tracks.

Ryujin said to Minju as she looked at her direction.

Minju then turned around slowly and looked at Ryujin and then forced out a smile.

'Did she just force out a smile?' Ryujin thought, as she frowned at the sight of it.

Ryujin said to Minju while tilting her head to the side a bit.

Minju's smile then dropped and looked away from Ryujin's gaze, but ultimately looked down on the ground. Minju said to Ryujin while still looking down on the ground still avoiding Ryujin's gaze.

Ryujin then hummed as she looked at Minju with curiosity written all over her face.

Minju said to while still looking down on the ground and is constantly fiddling with her fingers.

Ryujin then released a sigh, before looking at Minju. It was evident that Ryujin was worried for Minju, but she couldn't just reveal it just like that. So Ryujin decided to conceal it until the end.

Ryujin said to Minju as she took her hand and started to drag her away from the spot to the faculty room.

After a couple of minutes running across the school ground while dragging Minju. Ryujin had a smile plastered onto her face as she dragged Minju towards the faculty room. Minju was just not looking forward to this. After all Minju didn't want to be apart any of this, but she can't help it, if somebody else drags her into it.

Once the both of them reached the faculty room, one was nervous while the other one was happy. Ryujin then spared a look towards Minju with a smile on her face, but it quickly turned into a frown looking at the look that she had on her face.

Ryujin said to Minju asking her. Minju then lightly shook her head responding a 'nothing' to Ryujin.

But it was so obvious that something is wrong, but Ryujin decided that she wouldn't push it any further. Ryujin then looked forward at the door and knocked on it, thrice. There was a mumble that came out from the other side of the door.

Both girls took a step back, as somebody opened the door. When they saw the person's face both of their face's lit up in happiness. But of course with a glint of both worry and anxiousness, that can be easily seen through their eyes.

The professor said to the both of them asking them while looking at them.

As soon as the professor said that, Ryujin quickly shook her head, meaning 'no'. Which confused the professor more than ever, he soon after tried to open his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Ryujin telling him the reason why they're both here.

Ryujin said to the professor as she looked at Minju who was standing right beside her.

The professor said to Ryujin asking her while looking toward her direction. Ryujin then nodded her head, as she looked at the professor standing in front of her.

The professor then took his time to think before looking back and forth at the girls. This both of the girls found very annoying, because of the way he looked at them back and forth, as if he was comparing the two.

The professor said to Minju asking her while looking toward her direction. Minju then slowly nodded her head, as she looked down on the ground.

The professor then sighed and then looked at the girls, very strictly.

The professor said to the both of them while looking at them.

The professor said to the both of them asking them while looking at them.3

Ryujin said to the professor as she looked at Minju who was standing right beside her then to the professor in front of them.

The professor then gave a little nod to them, clearly understanding the situation that they are in right now. The professor then bid farewell to the two before entering the room once again.

After a couple of moments of silence, Ryujin then looked at Minju.

Ryujin said to Minju as she smiled at her reassuringly.

Minju then smiled back to Ryujin and then hugged her. Ryujin was startled at first but then hugged Minju back, with some hesitation of course. But soon after that Ryujin gradually warmed up to Minju.

Minju said to Ryujin whispering it into her ear.

Minju then broke out the hug and then smiled at Ryujin once again. Minju said to Ryujin exclaiming it, while smiling genuinely and tears are brimming out of her eyes.

Minju said to Ryujin as she gave the hall pass to her. Minju then turned her heels away and started walking towards the way to their classroom as she was also waving at Ryujin.

Ryujin then soon after returned the gesture back to Minju.

'Now that's a real smile...' Ryujin thought, as she smiled at the sight that is in front of her.
