"Hey, Seul..."

The air was heavy when Seulgi answered her phone. The bags under her eyes were more prominent than ever and her legs couldn't stop from bouncing, her anxiety raising through the roof.

She bit her lips and held her breath. The other person on the line didn't speak as well, letting the heavy atmosphere settle on them.

Then came a shaky breath. Seulgi wasn't sure if it was hers but then came her need for air that she gulped a huge suck of air.

She didn't know that she has been holding her breath for that long.

Then Jisoo spoke, low and breathy.

"I'm sorry,"

However, Seulgi didn't hear it. Her mind was a thousand years away, travelling back to that time Irene slept on her bed with Seulgi's arm draped across her waist. She remembers how warm it was, not the one that was unbearable and gross but one that left a tingling sensation on her skin, one that made her heart beat faster yet it knows that it's safe.

She felt safe with Irene beside her, whose mouth slightly open before she shifted and eyes started to flutter open.

"Good morning," Seulgi whispered before placing a kiss on the side of her head.

"Oh god, I fell asleep?" Irene groaned and turned to her side, hiding her face from Seulgi. She chuckled and combed Irene's hair using her fingers.

"Please don't look at me. I know I look like a mess."

"You?" Seulgi moved back a little, her cheeks squished into a smile at the adorable sight of Irene trying to tug her back. "You didn't wear make up last night, right?"

Irene shook her head but was adamant to hide her face. "Still. I probably have something on my face that's gross."

"Probably but that doesn't mean you're not pretty- OW!" She hissed after Irene pinched her side.

Irene finally inched backward so that she can roll her eyes at Seulgi. "I know I'm still pretty, Seulgi. I just said I probably look like a mess."

Seulgi's smile turned into a grin before she laughed, eyes crinkling into crescents. "You are so full of yourself and it's not even 8 a.m yet."

"What?!" Irene pushed herself to sit and looked at Seulgi with wide eyes. "Yah! Your parents might already be home!"

She tried to pull her back but Irene didn't budge. Seulgi looked at her with her puppy eyes and opened her arms wide, inviting. "They won't come back until this afternoon. Please cuddle with me again?"

After sighing in relief, Irene was trying so hard not so smile at the act of Seulgi. Thinking that the older would finally relent, Seulgi wolfishly grinned but Irene shook her head and stood up.

She watched as Irene traipsed around her room, looking at her things before she stopped infront of her dresser. She started to comb her hair and discreetly removed the gunk on her eyes before Irene placed her hand near her mouth.
