A loud, obnoxious beeping yanked Xiaoyu out of her sleep. She groaned and swatted her hands, wishing it would go away. It did, and she curled back around on her side. However, she suddenly found herself shaking. She slapped at the hand on her shoulder.
"C'mon, Xiao," she heard Hwoarang say. "You've gotta get back to your room, remember?" She sat bolt upright in bed.
"What time is it?!" she cried.
"Six thirty, don't worry. I'm gonna go hop in the shower, so you can put your bra back on or whatever and head out. I'll see you later today." He then disappeared into the bathroom. Xiaoyu quickly slipped her bra back on under her shirt and left the room. Glad to see that the hall was empty, she hurried past the elevator and knocked on the door of the room she and Julia shared. Julia opened the door and squinted at her friend.
"What time is it?!" she cried.

Xiaoyu quickly slipped her bra back on under her shirt and left the room. Glad to see that the hall was empty, she hurried past the elevator and knocked on the door of the room she and Julia shared. Julia opened the door and squinted at her friend.
"And where were you all night? she demanded fiercely, though a smile crept over her lips.
Xiaoyu ignored the girl's teasing and pushed past her into the room. "What time did you go to sleep last night?" she asked, attempting to change the subject.
"About ten. Why? Where were you?"
"I got back at, like, twelve, and you were asleep."
"So?" Slightly annoyed at Julia's persistance, Xiaoyu reached into her suitcase and grabbed her key.
"So, this was in here, and I was stuck out there."
"Oh." Julia looked awkwardly at her feet. "I'm sorry. What did you do all night, then?"
"I stayed in Hwoarang's room," Xiaoyu replied simply, removing her shampoo and body wash from her suitcase.
"Hwoarang?" Julia stopped lacing her boot and looked up. "Why?"
He was passing by when I was trying to wake you up last night," she lied, "and he offered to let me stay in his extra bed since Forest Law was staying in his dad's room."
Julia watched her friend head into the bathroom with soaps and clean clothes. She stood and stretched her neck. "I'm going to go train for a bit," she called.
"Okay," came the response from behind the closed door. After she heard the sound of running water, Julia turned and left the hotel room.
"C'mon, Xiao," she heard Hwoarang say. "You've gotta get back to your room, remember?" She sat bolt upright in bed.
