Story time!
When I studied in Korea, the Americans came early to campus, and the Korean students would start arriving 4 days later, to give us time to adjust before they arrived.
The rooms were pretty small, with a giant window making up one side of the room.
My first roommate arrived kind of late in the evening and we all went out to do a big group thing. She was friends with a lot of the Korean students, so she was mostly by them.
We didn't really have a chance to speak, and when we got back to the dorm, we pretty much went straight to bed.
Sophia (her English name) wanted the curtains open that night so she could see snow. Sophia was a very very petite girl, with a doll-like face, long black hair, and a high pitched voice. She liked to use a sing-song voice, and she was just very cute overall.
We go to bed, and at some point I become aware of hands on my body. I jerk awake to a figure in a white dress, backlit by moonlight, face totally in shadow, hands pulling my blanket up (to tuck me in more), and the softest little sing-song voice saying
"Shhhh, Go tO SlEeP."
And that's the night Sophia came very very close to being punched in the throat.
