"They're back!" Jihyo shouts loudly from the door.
Momo waits in the building, nervously playing with her hands. Dahyun was supposed to arrive at the company building an hour ago, but didn't. There was a scheduled appointment at the company for a meeting, and since they all live in different apartments, usually everyone drives there individually.
Everyone managed to arrive in time except for Dahyun. The managers said that they couldn't reach Dahyun or the manager that was in the car with her. Of course, the rest of the girls feared the absolute worst. They all sent messages and called Dahyun, but no answer. That could mean absolutely anything.
The doors open and quickly shut, making Momo's eyes immediately search for Dahyun's. She rushes over to her and notices the patch of blood on her clothes.
"Dahyuni," Momo grabs her girlfriend and starts scanning her, "What happened?"
"An accident," Hayoon, the manager that accompanied Dahyun, steps in to tell everyone. "A truck crashed into the car that was in front of us. It was scary, there was an explosion and we... we—"
Dahyun notices the manager's struggle and continues for her despite her own shock and fear, "We had to do first aid and... and there was blood everywhere. They were dying."
"Are you guys okay?" Nayeon asks, her eyes immediately starting to water.
"And the victims?" Jeongyeon adds.
"We're fine," Dahyun assures. "They should be alright too, they're in the hospital now."
Eventually, after making sure that the two really aren't injured, the atmosphere calms a little and the crowd of staff gradually leaves.
Jihyo walks over to Dahyun and Momo, who have been hand in hand ever since Dahyun returned. "I just asked the producer if he could delay the meeting to a different time and he said that's fine. He said that you should rest well."
"I'll make sure to take care of her," Momo tells Jihyo, thanking her and bidding her a goodnight as Dahyun only answers with a nod.
The two of them start heading back to Dahyun's apartment.
"Are you okay?" Momo asks once again with a quiet voice.
"I'm fine," Dahyun tells her, reaching down to grab her hand. "I'm sorry that I worried you."
"There's nothing you should apologize for. I'm so proud of you for helping those people."
Dahyun's lips curl upward. "Thank you. It was terrifying... but my body just moved on its own."
"Your body always knows how to move," Momo says. She blushes when she realizes how unfitting that was.
"Of course," Dahyun squeezes the girl's hand as her own face turns a shade redder, "You taught me."
"Good."
They reach Dahyun's place. Momo invites herself in, locking the door behind them. Dahyun is quick to enter the bathroom and strip out of her stained clothes, which she will most likely just throw away. Blood is difficult to get out as is, but it being someone else's blood just makes it strange.
"I'm going to shower," Dahyun says from the bathroom, her body hidden behind the door. "Would you like to join me?"
Momo's entire body blushes, and at first, she's lost on what to say. But her mouth seems to move faster than the rest of her. "Yes."
She pads across the floor and carefully pushes the door open. Dahyun stands there naked, awkwardly but at the same time confidently. The water is running hot, already steaming up the windows, but she seems to be cold. Momo keeps her eyes on Dahyun's as she removes each piece of her own clothing. Her shirt, her pants, her bra, her underwear.
