6.

Once rules have been broken, it's hard to go back. So when they wake up Saturday morning, tangled like they were Wednesday morning, neither says a word. They simply share a look before Yunjin gets out of bed and stalks into the living room, not bothering to put on clothes - Sullyoon stares.

The time it takes for Yunjin to make coffee for them is what she uses to contemplate the night before - and to overthink what Sullyoon had meant by saying "Lose control." She ponders over it as she stirs the sugar through her cup and stares blankly into the living room.

"Yunjin-ah!" Sullyoon's voice breaks her from her thoughts and she can't help but smile. "It definitely doesn't take ten minutes to make coffee. Get back here!"

So Yunjin grabs both cups and slowly makes her way back to the bedroom, where Sullyoon is sitting up against the headrest, not so patiently waiting for her coffee.

"Are you always this grumpy in the mornings?" Yunjin says as she hands Sullyoon a cup.

"I am when I drink the night before."

"Right, so I'm meeting hung-over Sullyoon now?"

Sullyoon glares at her over the brim of her cup.

"I'm not hung-over," Yunjin raises a sceptical eyebrow as she gets back in bed. "Just annoyed to be awake already."

And Yunjin smirks into her cup. "I can make that worth your while."

Sullyoon looks at her, let's her eyes roam over Yunjin's exposed torso and then lets her head fall back against the headrest with a groan. "Coffee first."

Yunjin laughs, but they finish their coffee in silence. Sullyoon downs it much quicker than Yunjin does.

"Your friends are interesting."

Sullyoon groans again. "My friends are embarrassing."

"You were embarrassed?"

"Imagine that you didn't know me. How would it sound if my best friend exclaims how proud she is of me for buying a sex cave?"

"I thought it wasn't a sex cave?"

"Ok, that's besides the point."

"It's literally the point."

"Nope, it's too early for this."

"It's one in the afternoon, Sullyoon."

The silence returns as Yunjin lies down again, simply staring at the ceiling.

"What are the odds though?" Sullyoon mumbles.

"Huh?"

"Yeji and Haewon being partners."

"Oh, they knew each other before we did."

"That just makes it even weirder."

Yunjin turns to Sullyoon then. A mischievous glint in her eyes as her lips quirk up in a barley visible smirk. "Maybe it's fate."

Sullyoon giggles in response, making Yunjin smile. She looks back at Yunjin, smile long gone, but smirk still in place.

"Please, talk about that all you want with your writer friends, but not with me. I don't believe in fate."

"Spend a little time with me and you will."

Sullyoon rolls over then, leaning on her elbows as she stares Yunjin down, her eyes taking in every inch of visible skin. Her hand instinctively reaches for Yunjin's collarbone, tracing the outline for a dazed moment. Then Sullyoon moves to straddle Yunjin, the sheets falling around her hips, baring even more skin.
