I silently groaned when someone lightly shook my body, I stood up, pushing the comforter from my petite frame. There stood Chaeyoung with a warm smile plastered on her lips.

She helped me stand up from the bed and informed me about using the bathroom inside the apartment. They made me use clothes that they bought, placing them on the bathroom counter before leaving me inside with a towel.

I scratched my head in confusion, they don't have a tub and Chaeyoung already taught me how to use the shower. As she taught, it's like an artificial rain that is cleaner and that made me feel excited.

I took my clothes off, my breath shaking as I felt the coldness. I slipped inside the shower and turned it on warm, my body felt good as little rain slipped through my body. I did the bath for the first time alone and it was fun.

"Awh, my eye," I hurriedly washed my eye since it made contact with the shampoo.

Closing the tap, I was already finished and headed outside the shower and now, faced the vanity.

I dried my hair then my body and wore my undergarments, which is not a dress anymore but I'm not complaining though. The previous one is hot to wear.

I wore the dress carefully, to make sure I won't rip it apart as I bit my lower lip. I was used to having my maids helo I dress up, this gave me the thrill.

Once I finished, I hanged the towels and combed my hair until it was soft. My eyes caught something glimmering on the paper bag that was mysteriously there. I scratched my head in confusion as I clearly remembered that wasn't there earlier.

It's probably from the girls...

I scanned the bag to check its goods and it was more home essentials. I pulled out my hand and prepare to go out until my eyes caught notice of a glimmering sight.

My eyebrows furrowed as I tried to grab it, pulling out my hand to see a jewelled flower-shaped hairclip. Pink cherry blossoms decorated the hair clip and I smiled broadly at how pretty it was.

I smiled softly, pinning it on my hair as it completed the look. I gazed at myself in the mirror, still in the daze. This new reality of mine was once impossible, I want to make more of it as much as I could.

I twirled in front of the mirror before I hurriedly went outside the kitchen where the girls were waiting for me. The delicious aroma of chicken hit my nostrils as I neared.

Jisoo-unnie was staring attentively at our lunch while Lisa and Chaeyoung smiled at me while preparing my plate and utensils.

"We might arrive home late later, you should use the red scarf we bought, Jenduekie. It might be cold," Jisoo-unnie told me, making me halt in my steps and nodded my head as I turned back walking to my room.

I rummaged through the shopping bags but I squinted my eyes as I tried looking for the scarf.

Where is it??
