"tired of feeling like a homebody"

It is currently 9am and Gyeoul is currently sitting in front of a stack of books on her desk. Smiling hesitantly, she replaced them with her laptop.

Truthfully, Gyeoul didn't know where to start and what to do. She sat in front of her desk just staring at the screen of her laptop, trying to gather her thoughts.

'Schedule? No but I haven't even sorted my books so how would I time my subjects?' shaking her head she folds her arms to her chest.

'Notes? But that would take a long time.' sighing, she gave up on thinking of what to do first and fixed her desk first.

As soon as she finishes she decides to fix her schedule first, knowing she could just switch it up later if she wants to, then take a look at her books to figure out the division of chapters for the year.

In the middle of scanning through her books, her phone buzzed.

Cursing under her breath for not being able to silence her phone, she fixes the stack of books that were now scattered all over her desk and the sofa by her bay window. She stood up and headed to her bed where her phone lies.

Her frown was gone as soon as she saw who the notification was from.

hm

u big baby

ok lemme think of a way to help u

Gyeoul felt like she had to do something. She knew Sunoo was beyond bored, he was sad about not being able to go out when he wanted to.

But what can she do that would help him feel less restricted? It's not like she can break him out of the house or something.

Laughing at that thought, she tried to think of other ways that didn't include her getting scolded by her family and hated by his parents.

He couldn't go out, that's why they call and message each other; only seeing each other from the comfort of their bedroom window.

Then the idea came.

If she uses that to her advantage, in a way, she could be helping him get out of the house but with less risks and damage.

She could go around town and other places. Take some photos and call Sunoo so he could see it live through facetime. Or she asks for permission from his parents to let their child out.

She knew that the latter would definitely be a fail. She knew his parents were far too protective and wary of their son's health so he would be a no show on a real roadtrip or even just a mere walk at the park.

She decided the first would be better. It wasn't any better than being in the actual places but something is better than nothing.

It would help her too. Exploring and visiting places she's never seen before is a breeze of fresh air. It could be a part of her healing. In a way, she would be able to explore her new surroundings and get used to it.
