DERANGER - SEULRENE

007

your head is spinning. your vision isn't clear.

maybe you've had too many drinks.

different emotions and feelings are taking over your body, and you feel like you're drowning.

everything is just surreal.

she lays you down and kisses you for the nth time that night. you couldn't tell if you're on a bed, a sofa, or a carpeted floor. but there's a soft feeling against your back.

you don't even remember how you get there. and it doesn't matter how you get there.

what's important now is her, her kisses, her warmth, her softness.

if you could live in this moment forever, you would.

---

you wake up on an expensive-looking sofa bed--alone and, surprisingly, still wearing your clothes from last night.

you push yourself up, wondering why you are still in your clothes.

did you had sex with seulgi and get dressed after?

despite the confusion, you look around the room. its cosiness and elegance far exceed the average-looking motels you've been into.

seulgi surely knows where to take her women, huh?

but what captures your attention is the simplicity of the room you are in. there's one small table with two chairs in the dining area. a small personal fridge in the kitchen. a digital wall clock by the door.

apart from that, there are no other furnitures or clutters around. and there's no tv anywhere?

your body jerks when the front door opens. seulgi appears in a hoodie and track pants, holding 7-eleven brown paper bags.

"oh. hey. you're up." she kicks the door close puts the bags down on the counter. "good morning."

"ah. good. morning." still not sure what's happening, you try recalling the events from last night. to your dismay, nothing registered except maybe for some fragments of the two of you kissing.

"i bought aspirin for you. i'm sure you'll have a nasty hangover after last night." seulgi pulls out two food boxes from one of the paper bags, opens the microwave oven, slams it inside, and turns it on.

you quirk an eyebrow.

do motels usually have microwave ovens?

and why is seulgi in a hoodie and track pants? did she go back to her apartment to change?

unless you're already...

"am... am i in your apartment...?" you sputter.

she turns to you. "yeah. why?"

"you mean we..." you point alternately between yourself and her. "we did it here, in your place?"

seulgi laughs and claps her hands. "you're so cute!" she crosses the distance between the two of you and kneels on the bed. she cups your cheeks and kisses you.

you swear that's the best morning kiss you received in your life.

she pulls back and tidies your hair. "we were into that last night. i was about to unzip your blouse, but you suddenly pulled back and ran to the bathroom to barf in my toilet."

you groan and shut your eyes in embarrassment.

"you still seem to be in your senses tho, because you gargled a lot after barfing," she adds, chuckling. "you even asked for a glass of water before plopping down here and passing out completely."
