Dawon fidgeted nervously as she sat in the kitchen of her former dorm room. It felt a little odd, being here without living here, but this was where Sojung had asked to meet her, so she’d agreed. Sojung was gonna look over her new song and give her feedback. The only problem was, Sojung hadn’t arrived yet. She hadn’t called or texted anything either, so Dawon could only guess what could have happened to her.

Dawon’s nervous imaginings were interrupted by the front door opening. In stumbled Sojung, bike helmet slightly tilted.

“Hi. Sorry,” she said. “I slipped off my bike.” She held up her hands, a mixture of blood and pebbles covering her palms.

Dawon jumped out of her chair. “Unnie! Are you alright?” She grabbed Sojung and pulled her to the sink, hurriedly turning on the cold water and shoving Sojung’s hands under the stream.

“I’m fi- aah!” Sojung winced and pulled her hands away.

“Unnie, we have to wash your hands.” She wasn’t usually this firm, but it hurt her to see Sojung injured.

“It’s cold! A little warning would be nice.” Nevertheless, Sojung sighed and stuck her hands back under the water, even letting Dawon gently rub the pebbles out.

“So what happened?” Dawon asked, turning off the water and fetching a few paper towels to wrap Sojung’s hands.

“There was a rock or something. Completely threw me off. Thanks,” Sojung said, as Dawon wrapped her hands.

Dawon frowned and pulled off Sojung’s helmet. “Where do you want me to put this?”

“Just leave it. I’ll take it to my room later. Do you wanna show me your song?”

Dawon bit her lip. “Are you sure this is a good time?”

“Yeah! Show me! I can still listen.” Sojung smiled. “That’s what you’re here for, right?”

Dawon nodded. “Right.”

She pulled open her computer and got out her headphones. “Here.” She placed the headphones over Sojung’s head and pulled up her demo. She wasn’t ready for others in the dorms to hear it yet. It was still a rough draft, and Sojung would help her polish it to completeness.

As Dawon watched Sojung listen attentively, she wondered what magical piece of wisdom Sojung would bestow that would make everything come together, giving her that final click that her song needed. How perfect would it be if the muse was the one to complete the piece?

“I like this a lot,” Sojung said.

“Really?” Dawon asked, perking up. “I feel like it’s missing something.”

Sojung pursed her lips in thought. “It sounds pretty good to me. Just needs the usual cleanup. Have you shown this to Shin Kung yet?”

Dawon shook her head. “Not yet. I wanted you to be the first.”

Sojung smiled. She knew what that meant, for her to be the first listener of something that Dawon hadn’t decided yet whether she wanted to share with everyone or throw in the trash. “Thank you.”

Dawon wanted to explain, to say something more. You inspired this song seemed too big. “You’re my favorite unnie,” she said instead.

Sojung’s smile widened. “Really?”

Dawon nodded shyly.

“Come here.” Sojung pulled her into a hug. Dawon could feel the paper towels on her back.

“Unnie, let’s get you some band-aids.”

“Alright, alright.”

Dawon could feel Sojung watching her while she carefully unpeeled and applied the band-aids to Sojung’s hands.

“Am I really your favorite?” She asked quietly.

Dawon kept her eyes on Sojung’s palms. “Yes.”

Sojung waited until Dawon was finished, and then slowly wrapped her arms around Dawon. “No one’s ever said that to me. Thank you.”

Dawon didn’t answer. She just hugged Sojung back and nestled into her chest. Maybe next time, she’d have the courage to tell her everything.

This was freaking sweet and cute! <3 Thank you for sharing!
