I love you Seoul, I hate you Seoul // Suayeon // Dreamcatcher

Chapter 4

It took Bora a good 20 minutes for her drunk self to climb up the stairs, almost getting on her hands and knees near the end. It didn't help that the lighting in the building was blindingly bright and giving her a headache with every step she took. Her muscles were aching to rest on Minji's sofa and forget all the memories from the night.

She stumbled down the hallway, swaying slightly in front of her destination, key in hand. She really hoped that the couple were asleep by now so she wouldn't have to cover her ears to muffle any drunken moans. As slowly and quietly as she could, she opened the door and closed it shut behind her.

The apartment was pitch black, all curtains were drawn so not even any moonlight could enter. Bora had no idea where anything was or even what room she was in, since she'd never been there before. She fumbled with the key, locking the door behind her and turned around, squinting her eyes as much as possible to make out any furniture around her. It was useless.

So instead she opted to slowly trace her hand against the nearest wall, searching for a light switch, praying to god she didn't knock over an expensive vase or something. After a few tentative steps forward, her shin hit something. It was waist height and soft and she realised it was a sofa. Letting out a sigh of relief she slumped down and stretched her legs, resting her head on the soft arm rest. Well, what she thought was an arm rest, until it started to move.

Siyeon must have fallen asleep on the sofa after watching too many dramas that night. She didn't expect however, to be rudely awoken by someone's head in her lap.

At first, she assumed Yooh must be home and too drunk to realise this wasn't her bed. But Siyeon's sleepy brain quickly remembered her roommate told her she was going to sleep over Minji's tonight.

She looked down at the brunette in her lap who reeked of alcohol, and had no idea what to do. If she was a burglar, why wasn't she stealing anything? Secondly, Siyeon didn't hear or see any signs of breaking and entering so the girl must have a key. Was she one of Yooh's acting friends? This still didn't make any sense and the fact that she didn't scream out of shock from this situation surprised her. Instead she was unnaturally calm. This girl seemed harmless.

"Uh hum," She tried waking up the girl with her voice, but when that didn't work, she slowly started pushing her off, until the girl's whole body accidentally fell onto the floor with a loud thud. Siyeon had to stifle a laugh.

"What the fuck?" Bora shouted groggily, sitting up and squinting at the silhouette above her. Did someone really just push me off the sofa? she thought. Her hair was a mess, her makeup was smudged and she couldn't see a damn thing. Siyeon couldn't help realising how attractive she was nonetheless.

"Who are you?" Siyeon asked sternly, still incredibly confused by the situation she woke up to.

"Who are you?" Bora shot back, her words a bit slurred and not coming out as threatening as she wanted to. Why was this random girl in Minji's apartment? She doesn't have a roommate, it's only a one bedroom apartment.

"I live here."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"Then where do you sleep?"

"In my room?"

"But this is a one bedroom apartment."

"No it's not."
