Come Back To Me

⁷

Rushing out of the bathroom, Seojin snapped out of it and headed back to her colleagues.

A brand new day arrived and Yunhee found herself in her house, on the couch. "You're awake, I made you porridge", Rona told her, concerned. Yunhee, thankful for her caring daughter, quietly went to sit down at the dining table. Yunhee, being able to fool herself, had no rememberence of the night before.

"Why was I even drunk yesterday?"

She asked herself.

on her way to work, Seojin encounters Yunhee in the Hera Palace lobby. Looking over at her, she can tell she's hungover, maybe still a little doozed. Catching a glimpse of Seojin, Yunhee slowly starts to remember the events that followed last night. Biting her lip, Yunhee tries to sneak past the woman, embarrassed. Grasping her wrist, Seojin stops her, taking her to the mechanical room; which provided a quiet and empty space. Seojin pushed her against a wall, gently. Yunhee nervously looked at her soulless eyes. Rethinking her actions, Seojin quickly paused what she was doing, "This was a mistake", "We were a mistake", she spoke, doubtfully. "I meant everything that happened yesterday", Yunhee said. Seojin stopped walking away, listening to her sincere words. Harshly swallowing the juices in her mouth in nervousness, Yunhee firmly held onto Seojin, bringing her closer. Un-buttoning her blouse, Seojin licked her lips, eyeing Yunhee. Standing behind the control panel, Yunhee grasped her bra, feeling the small pad that covered her boob. Slowly settling down onto the hard floor, they both blushed, staring into eachothers eyes. Rubbing her breast against Yunhee's torso, Seojin's foot slipped. Accidently unplugging a few wires from the panel, the lights turned off, leaving the whole building to a dark tunnel. "Are you okay?" Seojin was quick to ask. Snapping back to her mind, Yunhee quickly tried re-adjusting all the cables, but she was no expert and had no knowledge about these kinds of things. Helping eachother put their clothes back on, Yunhee tried to look for the exit, as someone with a flashlight came in. "Excuse M-" Seojin said, not being able to finish her sentence. Covering her mouth shut, Yunhee dragged her behind a big pole, pinning her against it. "You don't want them to see us here together do you? Your pants aren't even zipped up all the way, what would they assume" Yunhee was quick enough to point out. "Sorry, I wasn't thinking", Seojin replied.

While Rona and Seokkyung were hanging out, the lights went dim shut. "What happened?" Rona asked, getting a little scared. "I think the electricity went out" Seokkyung affirmed her. "I can't see anything" Rona said, with a shaky voice. Holding her hand, Seokkyung brought her out of the room to the living room, which had some sunlight from the giant windows. "It's ok, my mom should be here soon, let's just sit tight here until they figure out what's going on" Seokkyung let her know, calming her down.

After receiving many complaints from a few different floors, the Hera Palace recipients called up a few electricians to check out the source of the problem.

The lights finally turned back on as the worker handplugged each wire into the panel. Getting ready to leave he heard a few noises coming from behind the pole Seojin and Yunhee hung out behind. Thinking it was probably just a rat, he left and was told to lock the door so this wouldn't happen again.

Suryeon rushed home from work after recieving a call regarding the inconvinience. "Are you guys ok?", she asked the kids after coming home. "Yea, the lights came on a few minutes ago. It was pretty dark so we had trouble finding our way through." Seokkyung told her. Rona was still a bit shaken, as she was scared of the dark. Seokkyung looked at her frightned face, almost laughing. "Everything's fine now you can stop all the worrying" Suryeon reassured her. "Do you want me and Seokkyung to take you home?" She sequentially asked.

After waiting a few minutes for the crowd to disperse, Seojin and Yunhee both stood up, attempting to find their way towards the door. Struggling through the dark, they soon made their way... but the door wouldn't open...
