--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Minju heard the doorbell that particular day, she knew what she was expecting. But at the same time, she did not.

Dressed in a pair of loose shorts that reached past her knees, and a shirt, Hyewon had her long brunette hair tied into a bun as she padded across her Gangnam apartment to greet whomever it was that rang the bell. She was ninety-eight percent sure who it was, but there was always room for doubt. She cleared her throat and inhaled a deep breath before opening the heavy oak door.

“Hello, my name is Kang Hyewon and I am your Snuggler for today!”

Minju stared at the girl—no, woman—in front of her. It was the Kang Hyewon. Her Hyewon. Clad in a black dress that reached past her thighs, her hair in wavy rivulets, Hyewon stood before Minju. After years and years of not having contact despite the promises of remaining friends, here they stood.

“D-did I get the right address?” Hyewon reached into her purse and checked her phone. “Oh my, I’m so sorry—”

“Hyewon.” Minju smiled and leaned against her doorframe. “How many Kim Minju’s do you know? It is really me, in case you are wondering.”

“Yes, but… Would you like a refund? I’m sure you don’t want me snuggling with you for an hour straight—”

“Will you relax?” Minju reached her hand out for Hyewon to take. She didn’t want to have this conversation in the hallway, where Minju’s snoopy neighbour could hear them. “Come inside, talk to me about the policies, and I’ll tell you why you’re here. Okay?”

Hyewon nodded, albeit tentatively. She took Minju’s hand and entered her apartment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minju watched Hyewon take in the sight of her apartment while they sat down on the plush couch. “So…”

“You have a lovely apartment, Minju.” Hyewon blurted out. “I just haven’t seen you in so long and I don’t know how to react, especially with you seeing me working like… like this.”

“As a Snuggler?” Minju asked with a raised brow.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s an honest living. Hell, even if you were a prostitute, it wouldn’t matter to me. The thing is, you’re here because I want you to be. I was on the website the other day and I saw you in the catalogue.” Minju smiled as she recalled the day she finally mustered the courage to click the purchase button. “I thought about it for a week, wondering how you would react. But then I realised that you wouldn’t really have a say because I paid for you.”

Hyewon chewed on her lip and stared at Minju’s features. “Why were you on the Snuggery website?”

“I wanted a snuggle.” Minju shrugged and crossed her legs. “This is my first day off in months, and I needed a break. I’m single, I’m not in the mood to go clubbing to look for a warm body. I just want someone to hold, even if it’s just for an hour.” She trained her chocolate eyes into Hyewon’s warm hazel ones, and took in the sight of the girl she admired for goodness knows how long. “And I want to snuggle with you. Is that so hard to believe?”

“I understand that you only wanted to snuggle with me because you saw me as familiar on the website.” Hyewon played with the hem of her dress and looked up at Minju. “And as you said, I do have to snuggle with you since you paid up front. Shall I go over the policies with you?”
