“Hey, Sophia?” Sophia pauses mid-step, turning her head to peek back at her roommate. “Yeah?” she asks, voice light and casual despite the faint thrum of apprehension rising in her chest. Yoonchae sits up straighter, folding her blanket into her lap, eyes wide and sincere in the dim glow of her phone screen. “I think Manon’s good for you,” she says quietly, almost shyly. “And… and you’re good for her.” For a moment, Sophia just stands there, frozen, her fingers curled tight around her towel. The words hit something deep and trembling inside her, something she’d been carefully keeping quiet for weeks now. She opens her mouth to respond but finds herself blinking rapidly instead, feeling her throat tighten around the sudden surge of emotion. She swallows it down with a small smile, shaking her head as she musters her usual playful drawl. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Yoonchae,” she murmurs, voice gentle and affectionate. She steps into the bathroom, flicking the light on, and adds softly, “Go to sleep.” But as she shuts the door behind her, the words echo in her chest, unravelling all her defences in the quiet safety of the room she called home.
