"Wait!" Rei yelled, met by the sound of the front door being slammed shut with no hesitation.
"Hey, are you..." An older girl looked down at a note next to her. "Rei?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Calm down!" She urged. "You're Naoi Rei?"
"How do you know it?"
"I just do." She pointed to the note that seemed like Liz had signed. 
"But how does she know my name?"
"Don't ask me that." The girl paused. "How am I supposed to know?"
"Well, who are you?" Rei asked, slightly concerned. 
"I'm Liz's sister, Kim Gaeul." Gaeul grinned. "She told me to stay here with you."
"Can't you open the door? I have things to do." Rei argued.
"Things to do?" Gaeul chuckled. "Like what?" 
"I just need to get home but obviously..." Rei gazed at the locked door. "I can't because of your sister."
"So?" 
"So?" Rei scoffed. "I can't get out."
"I'll let you out, you could have just asked?" Gaeul argued. "But..."
"But what?" Rei took a deep breath, starting to lose her patience.
"I'd recommend avoiding Liz if you see her ever again," Gaeul said casually.
"Why? I didn't want to speak to her anyway." Rei rolled her eyes.
"Because she's probably going to get mad at me if I let you out. Her fans can be absurd sometimes and I'm sure you're already aware of that. It's still late at night and they're roaming around."
"You don't need to make it seem like it's a zombie apocalypse?"
"Probably worse than that." Gaeul interrupted. "No, but seriously."
"I doubt that," Rei giggled, shockingly getting along with Liz's sister, which she didn't expect at all.
"So..." Gaeul sighed while opening the door gradually.
That's when the frigid air hit Rei and she started to regret it. 
"Are you o—"
"Yeah, I'm fine." 
"Remember what I told you, if you ever encounter Liz, don't bother her." Gaeul rushed, desperate to let her out because of how chilly it was.
"I know," Rei took a sharp breath and gritted her teeth. "It's cold out here."
"Right." Gaeul agreed and closed the door after she stepped out.
"How could she just leave me out here like this?" Rei mumbled to herself, even though she was the one who wanted to leave in the first place.
"What is she doing out there still?" Gaeul wondered while gazing out the window. "Rei, if you want to stay here longer just say it now."
"I don't, actually..." Rei slightly shivered, plastering a fake smile over her face. 
"That's fine with me." Gaeul waited for a response but Rei had already left by the time she could say something back.
