Chapter Text
“Megan.” A voice above her calls out, shaking her shoulder.
”Megan Skiendiel!” A cup of water is splashed onto her face, drenching her hair and the bed below her.
”What the hell, Lara!” She gasps, sitting up immediately and glaring at Lara who stood in front of her bed, cheeks puffing up as she tried to hold in a laugh. “Hey—wait— stop laughing! This isn’t funny! That water was cold..!” She exclaims, teeth chattering.
Lara Rajagopalan. Megan’s roommate AND best friend of 4 years.
Lara bursts out laughing, having to lean against the wall to prevent herself from falling, “You gotta admit,” she starts, trying to breath through her laughs. “you look absolutely ridiculous.”
Megan huffs, and rolls her eyes. But she can’t help but smile a bit at her friend’s teasing. “Oh, shut up.” She groaned, getting up, having to step over a monster can Lara had forgotten to pick up from the night before. “What time is it…”
“Oh, it’s—“ Before Lara can even answer her roommate’s question the alarm goes off. They’re late.
”LARA, FUCK WHY DIDN’T YOU WAKE ME UP EARLIER!!” Megan yells, almost tripping over a laundry basket as she quickly got changed.
Lara shrugged and leaned against the door, watching Megan panic while getting ready. Quietly giggling.
Megan pants, finally ready to leave. She looks at her calm friend, who smugly smirks at her. “Wha—what…” she breaths out.
”Got a email.” Megan raises an eyebrow, watching Lara stifle a laugh. “All classes canceled today.”
Megan stares at her with disbelief, “You.. made me get up… FOR NOTHING?!” She groans and lays back down on her bed, grimacing at the wet feeling of her drenched pillow.
”Not for nothing! Sophia got someone to introduce!” Curiosity sparks inside of Megan, she looks up at Lara with wide eyes. “She invited all of us over for a coffee date so we could meet the new girl!” Megan nods, a new girl? Hm. Doesn’t sound that bad.
꧁✩₊˚.⋆🕸️⋆⁺₊✧꧂
Lara dragged Megan inside a small cafe not far from the school, being greeted by their friends right away. “Megan! Lara! We’re here! Hi!” Sophia shouted excitedly, waving them over with her big grin.
Lara and Megan make their way to their table, Megan shooting apologetic looks at the people who heard Sophia’s excited welcome.
“Hey, guys!” Megan giggled, seeing Manon try to pull the chair away before Lara can sit down, earning a glare from Lara.
Sophia clears her throat, gaining their attention, “My baby cousin, Yoonchae, will come out of that bathroom,” Sophia points at the women’s restroom at the corner of the cafe, grinning widely. “and everyone will give her a warm welcome. Got it?” She says protectively.
Before anyone can open their mouth an Asian girl in a pair of baggy denim jeans pushes the restroom door open.
Megan’s jaw drops.
”Yoonchip! Over here!” Sophia chirps joyfully, ushering Yoonchae to sit down.
The absolute gorgeous girl sits down beside Sophia, a shy smile on her face. Megan was admiring her beauty, it was unreal. She was beyond gorgeous in her eyes…
Yoonchae… so beautiful… she’s so—
”Megan! Hello?! Quit spacing out!” Dani pinched her side which made Megan fall out her chair in surprise.
The group stared at her, her face heating up in embarrassment.
She had managed to embarrass herself infront of the whole cafe. “You okay, girl?” Lara giggled, the other girl’s stifling laughs. Except Yoonchae, who stared confusedly.
”I-I’m fine..!” Megan chuckled nervously, getting up and dusting herself off. “My bad! What were we, uh, saying?” She sits back down, making eye contact with Yoonchae.
Lara and Manon exchange knowing glances at eachother then at Megan.
A awkward tension filled the air around the group until Sophia interrupted it, “Well!” She clasp her hands together. “Why don’t we tell Yoonchae about how it is around LA?”
꧁✩₊˚.⋆🕸️⋆⁺₊✧꧂
After a long afternoon of laughter the girls were exhausted.
They were now in Sophia’s dorm, half asleep. Manon and Lara were tiredly mumbling to eachother on the beanbags while Dani and Sophia were passed out on Sophia’s bed.
Megan groans, she’d gotten a stomach ache after to much coffee. “Fuckkk…” She held her stomach.
”Are you okay, Megan?” A soft voice asks from across her.
Yoonchae.
She nods, smiling awkwardly, “Y-Yeah! Just a stomach ache.” She avoids eye contact, spotting a spider on the wall and letting her eyes focus on that instead.
”I can.. make tea..?” The younger girl offers, twiddling her thumbs. Megan found it cute.
A small chuckle leaves Megan’s mouth, she doesn’t know at what. She just thought Yoonchae was…. Cute. Who wouldn’t?!
Yoonchae giggles, it snaps Megan out of her thoughts, staring at Yoonchae with a confused expression. “What’s so funny?”
”Sophia’s telling the truth,” She smiled “You do space out a lot.”
Megan chuckles, smiling back at her.
Silence. Not the bad kind. The one that filled the air comfortably.
Yoonchae looked so adorable to Megan.
”Yoonchae…” Cute. Her name was nice.
”Yes, Megan?”
Shit she said her name aloud. “Oh! U-uh nothing. Sorry.” Another nervous laugh, Yoonchae giggles at her.
The giggles die out, a comfortable silence fills the air.
Yoonchae clears her throat and looks up at the ceiling. “You want green tea?” She says with her soft voice.
Megan admires her, the way her hair framed her face perfectly… everything…
”Yeah. I’d love that.”
Yoonchae gets up and starts boiling some hot water, Megan’s eyes follow her every move, the way her lips spread into a soft smile, the way she moves with such elegance… She just was so… perfect.
The Korean pours tea into a mug, giving it to her with a kind smile. “Enjoy.” She had said simply.
And just like that, the night passes. Yoonchae and Megan asleep in a cuddle pile with the others.
