2020, August

I stretch my hands as much as I can and then turn around, facing Eunbi who's sleeping deeply on the bed across from mine. Grabbing my phone and a hair tie, I get out of my bed and then out of the room. As I walk in the living room, I see Wooyoung all sprawled out on the sofa. Shrugging, I put my phone on the table and head to the bathroom.

I do my business and then tie my hair before washing my face. I look at the mirror and let out a low laugh as I see my bare face. I look so different without that heavy makeup... I'm almost unrecognizable.

As I go back to the living room, I see that Wooyoung is still sleeping. I carefully take my phone and sit on the other sofa. I see that Mom has sent a photo, video and a message that says 'your daughter woke me up at six in the morning, she also spent the whole night going to your room and crying loudly'. In the photo, Mellow is sleeping beside Mom, taking Dad's side of the bed. At times like this, she's my daughter but when she's being a cute fluffball, she's Mom's little girl.

I shake my head and open the video next but the sudden loud sound startles me so I close it immediately. Oh shoot... I forgot to turn down the volume after Eunbi took my phone to watch something.

I look up from my phone and see that Wooyoung is looking at me with a big frown on his face, his eyes barely open. "Oh, no, I woke you up... I'm so sorry..."

"It's fine," he lets out a big breath before sitting up. "What were you watching?"

"Mom sent me this video of Mellow sleeping beside her after waking her up so early in the morning," I turn the volume down and open the video again, smiling as I see Mellow lying down so close to Mom.

"Can I see it, too?"

"Yea, sure," I give my phone to Wooyoung and stand up, going to the kitchen. I open the fridge and grab the chocolate milk that I bought for myself last night and sit at the table.

"Mellow has so much cuteness," Wooyoung says as he sits in front of me, giving my phone back. "If only she could act cute to me too... But no, she hates me. Maybe she's playing hard to get?"

"Yea, like me," I pretend to flip my hair before drinking my chocolate milk. As I take a sip, I almost choke as I feel someone kissing my cheek but then I relax when I see it's Eunbi.

"Good morning, Babe," Eunbi says as she sits takes the seat beside me.

"Good morning," I nod my head, putting my drink down.

"Last night was fun," she winks before smirking.

"Right," I nod again, not knowing how to play along with her joke.

"So, what's today's schedule?"

"Well," Eunbi stands up to grab herself a glass of water, "for breakfast, I want to go to this famous restaurant that's a one-hour drive away. I heard that when you come here, you have to try to their food so I want to go there. After that, let's go to the beach again--"

"Again?" Wooyoung frowns. "But we spent three whole hours there yesterday taking photos of you."

"I still have a few more clothes and accessories to promote."

"Okay..."

"After that, let's have lunch at another place. After that, let's go bike riding."

"Bike riding?" Wooyoung sits straight and his eyes light up.

"Yea, you kept talking about how fun it'll be to go bike riding so let's do that as well while we're here."

"Then, we're going to be really busy today!" he claps his hands like a kid, the sleep in his eyes going away in an instant.
