Ryujin entered Yeji's hospital room, heart fluttering with anticipation. It had been a few days since their initial meeting, and their connection had grown deeper with each passing day. As she waited for Ryujin to arrive, she couldn't help but notice a subtle change in the air. There was a newfound lightness in Ryujin's steps, a brightness in her eyes that had not been present before.

Ryujin walked in, a wide smile spreading across her face when she saw Yeji. The sight of her happiness brought a warmth to Yeji's heart, and she couldn't help but feel a twinge of delight at the sight of Ryujin's joy.

"Yeddeong!" Ryujin exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "You won't believe what happened. I got accepted into the university program I've been telling you about!"

Yeji's eyes widened with delight. "That's amazing, Ryuddaeng! Congrats! I'm so happy for you."

Ryujin took a seat, a blend of joy and disbelief dancing in her eyes. "Thank you, Yej. It feels like a dream come true. Lia always believed in me and supported my dreams, and now I can't help but feel her presence pushing me forward."

Yeji smiled warmly, her admiration for Ryujin growing with each passing moment. "Lia must be so proud of you, Ryujin. You've overcome so much, and I know she would want you to embrace this opportunity and chase your dreams with all your heart."

Ryujin's expression softened, her gaze meeting Yeji's with a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability. "You're right. Lia always wanted me to be happy, to live a life full of purpose and fulfillment. I want to honor her memory by embracing this chance to make a difference, to create a future that she would have been proud of."

As their conversation deepened, the room filled with an unspoken understanding. Yeji couldn't deny the warmth that enveloped her heart whenever she was in Ryujin's presence. There was a comfort in their shared experiences, a sense of belonging that transcended their individual journeys.

As they delved into lighter topics, laughter filled the room, intertwining with the underlying currents of their growing connection. Yeji found herself captivated by Ryujin's presence, her laughter contagious and her spirit undeniably magnetic.

In that moment, as their eyes met, Yeji felt a subtle shift within herself. She realized that her feelings for Ryujin had transformed into something more, a gentle admiration that made her heart flutter. But she hesitated to reveal these emotions, unsure of how Ryujin would react and worried about the potential complications it might bring to their friendship.

Lost in her thoughts, Yeji kept her feelings hidden, burying them beneath a warm smile. She couldn't risk jeopardizing their deepening connection, and so she chose to cherish their friendship, treasuring the moments they shared.

Ryujin, unaware of Yeji's internal struggle, continued to share stories and dreams, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Yeji listened attentively, her heart both elated and conflicted. She admired Ryujin's strength and resilience, and her affection for Ryujin only grew with each passing day.

As their time together drew to a close, Yeji knew that she had to keep her feelings in check, at least for now. Their bond was precious, and she didn't want to risk losing the friendship they had built. She bid farewell to Ryujin, her smile bittersweet
