Wonyoung never needed an alarm. Her body woke up exactly when it had to as long as she could remember for. At 5AM, she rose from sleep slowly, body turning away from the wall to get up, but she was in a warm hug.
Okay, that's fine, Liz and Rei could've provided that too, but it was Yujin instead.
She would never get used to the sight of Yujin's sleeping face. The older girl had her face buried where Wonyoung's neck was, softly snoring. Her arms were still around her waist.
Azzo had teleported to the side of the bed. Wonyoung knew the second her foot touched the floor he'd start yapping.
So, all responsibilities be damned, she lay back. Yujin was warm and smelled like... like home. Her arms tightened around her as Wonyoung pressed a kiss to her jaw.
Is this really alright? she thought, snuggling deeper into Yujin's neck.

Liz compared Gaeul to an irritated chihuahua - noisy, never-endingly moving around, and fussy.
"GUYS, THAT WAS YUJIN'S EX. WE FUCKED UP BIG TIME," she howled, violently wringing Rei by her collar, "YOUR BROTHER'S FRIEND IS MY SISTER!"
"Ga- Gaeul ca- cal- Calm DOWN!" Rei chattered out. Liz seperated them and sat Gaeul down.
"Okay, we may have made a little oopsie, but I'm sure Wonyoung and Yujin are mature enough to sort it out themselves!" Liz laughed nervously, unsure about the situation herself. She'd seen how much Wonyoung had cried over Yujin months after the break up.
Could she and Rei really handle scraping her off her bed every single morning again? Could they bear to watch Wonyoung dance till the AM hours for days on end to numb herself against her feelings?
"No!" Rei screeched. "Neither of them are mature enough! They probably tore each other to pieces and our friendship will be ruined!"
Rei collapsed into Gaeul's arms, on the verge of tears and blubbering.
Liz smacked a hand over Rei's face. "But," she started. Gaeul and Rei leaned in to listen.
"Don't you think if they argued Wonyoung would've just gotten a cab back here?"
"She didn't attend class today either," Gaeul added. "They must've slept in."
"Slept in?" Rei repeated. "You mean..."
Gaeul grinned widely. "Yeah. Maybe they did make up."
"Did they make up or kill each other?" Liz muttered under her breath. Rei shot a stare at her.
"Agh, whatever!" Rei groaned, grabbing Liz and Gaeul by their wrists. "Dance is in half an hour. Let's get something to eat. My head still hurts."

Yujin sat up facing Wonyoung.
Neither of them had brushed their teeth or showered and it was late morning. Birds chirped outside the window. Azzo snuffled beneath their feet.
"Um. Good morning," she murmured, scratching her head, memories of the night before burnt into her mind. A bright purple spot peeked out of her neckline where she'd been kissed a bit too hard.
"Morning," Wonyoung squeaked. A air of awkwardness settled over them. They looked away from each other, not daring to in case it set them ablaze.
"Do you... want to do something?" Yujin asked slowly, picking at the corner of her duvet.
"Like what?"
"Talk. Let's... talk. About last night," Yujin continued. She reached for Wonyoung's hand and hooked their pinkies together. "Did you mean it?"
