When Hazel returned to her dorm, both Crystal and Michelle were already there. The two of them looked up from their books the moment Hazel entered and quickly blocked her path.

Hazel looked at the two girls each holding on to her arms and grew a little scared upon meeting their gaze.

"Hazel Mo…" The smile on Crystal's lips turned a little frightening. "Tell us honestly, where did you go with that childhood sweetheart of yours today?"

"You said you were going to drop off some stuff, but look at you…" Michelle clicked her tongue as she gave Hazel a look over. "Only returning to your dorm five minutes before curfew. Young lady, tell us what you did."

Hazel opened her mouth but did not know how to answer them. When she thought about what happened earlier that day, her cheek turned a shade redder. 

Unfortunately for her, Michelle seemed to notice the change and a loud gasp escaped her. "Hazel Mo, what did you do? If you don't tell us this moment, don't think about going to bed."

Crystal nodded in agreement. "That's right. No sleep for you tonight." There was a look of confusion on her face for a few seconds. Crystal shifted her gaze between Hazel and Michelle and finally noticed Hazel's sheepish smile. 

Hazel lowered her head as her friends continued to tease her. "What did I do? After sending some staff, of course, we went for a walk and had dinner together."

"Just having dinner together, and your face had turned red like this?" Michelle said. "I don't believe you."

Crystal continued to stare at Hazel. After a while, she turned to Michelle and said, "Detective Michelle, what did you find out?"

Michelle started to caress her imaginative beard. "I can almost see it. Hazel's spring is here. That smile on her face and the glint in her eyes is the evidence."

Hazel looked at her roommates and could no longer hold her laughter, especially when she saw the dramatic look on Michelle's face. Hazel walked past her roommates and turned around with a mysterious smile on her face. "Do you really want to know?"

The two girls nodded simultaneously.

Initially, Hazel had wanted to keep the news a secret from her friends, but once she saw the look on their faces, Hazel was suddenly excited. "Earlier today…" Hazel paused to study the two's expression, then lowered her head in the last seconds. "I agreed to be Alex's girlfriend."

The girls let out another gasp. It took them a few seconds to process the news. And then, they started to bomb her with questions and Hazel willingly answered them.

Crystal held up a hand as a thought crossed her mind. "He sent you back just like that? No good night kiss?"

Seeing that Hazel's face turned red again, her roommates could not help but to tease her again. 

She had just agreed to be his girlfriend and Hazel had not thought further about kissing and stuff. Last time, Alex had kissed her on her head to coax her to stop crying, but that kiss was different, right?

At the thought that they were going to act more intimate than just holding hands, Hazel felt as if her head was about to burst from the overloading CPU. Just trying to imagine kissing Alex had turned her face as red as lobster.

Michelle looked at Hazel's expression and heaved a sigh. Hazel always had this cool look on her face. Those who were not close to her had thought that she was a little cocky and pretentious. As Hazel's roommate, Michelle knew that Hazel was a sweetheart once she got to know her.

Seeing the shy look on Hazel's face, Michelle could not help but want to tease her again. Their roommate was a little innocent and precious. If she was a man, Michelle thought that she would definitely go for someone like Hazel.

A while later, Crystal reached for her phone and filled in Eira with the latest situation. It was at this time that Eira was regretting that she had not lived in the dorm. It seemed that she had always missed the fun while staying away with the girls.

After answering their questions, the girls finally let her off. Hazel went to the bathroom to wash up and prepared to go to sleep. As she laid down on her bed, the phone on her hand started to buzz. 

Once she saw the name on the screen, a sweet smile appeared on her lips as she slid her finger to pick up the call.

"What are you doing?" Alex asked as the phone call was connected.

"Just getting ready for bed," Hazel answered She heard his deep chuckle at the other line and bit at her lips shyly. 

Hazel thought that it was a little strange. The two of them have been speaking to each other from kindergarten, but after knowing that Alex liked her, her heart would often feel a little strange when she heard his voice. Now that their status has changed from friends to lovers, she had suddenly felt a little giddy.

The smile on her face could not disappear and her heart felt like it was going to burst.

"When will you be free tomorrow?" Alex asked.

"Tomorrow…" Hazel thought of her schedule and a frown appeared on her face. "Tomorrow, my schedule is jammed pack with classes. In the afternoon, I have to meet one of my professors to discuss my thesis."

"Then, let's meet up and have dinner together," Alex said. 

"Un."

A smile curled on his lips. "I'll come over and pick you up, alright?"

"Okay."

The two continued to chat for a while until Alex realized that he should not be disturbing his girlfriend as she still had to go to class tomorrow. 

"Alright. I won't hold you back," Alex said. "Go to sleep."

"Un. I know. You too." Hazel rubbed at her eyes as she was starting to feel a little sleepy. 

"Hazel?"

"Un." Her voice was starting to sound a little groggy.

"I love you."

Hazel felt as if the sleepiness had suddenly disappeared upon hearing those words. Though this was not the first time that Hazel had heard those words from Alex, hearing them again would still make her heart beat a little faster.

Her lips parted as she wanted to give her response, but her throat felt a little dry and she could not find her voice. A few seconds later, Hazel felt her face grew hot and the heat spread all through her body. Hazel thought that she was still a little shy to say those words back.

Alex let out a soft chuckle when he could not hear a thing from Hazel's side. He let out a breath helplessly and spoke, "Good night, Hazel."

"Good night, Alex."
