Daya stepped out of the bathroom with reddened cheeks.

Gawd. That boy is such a smooth talker.

She met eyes with the other girl in the room. "Good morning", they said at the same time. If it wasn't so awkward between them already, they likely would have laughed at the simultaneity.

Daya walked to the rack. Did he have to bring everything?. She was greatly confused at which outfit to choose. "Can I come back later?", she politely asked the girl.

Once the girl gave her a nod, she ran to the stack of robes, picking one up. Who keeps the robes out?.

The female worker watched her walk into the bathroom like she owned it. So casually. The thought that they were probably dating lurked in her mind.

Daya dropped the robe on the towel rack. "Why did you bring hard clothes to choose from?"

"I didn't technically choose it", Seungmin stated from the shower booth. "If it's so hard, you can take them all"

Daya shook her head as she actually, actually, considered it. "Which box?", she found herself asking. Gawd. Staying at home for a longer time than normal was finally affecting her, but her sister will really be happy if she gave her those clothes.

"Ask for a box, Daya. Or a bag. Whatever, just pack it"

"Thanks!", she ran back out, picking the room phone. "Yeah, hello. Room 5125 calling"

They are calling a lot. Must be loaded..

"Yes, ma'am. How can I help you?"

"I need a bag, preferably a box, to pack up the clothes", and the girl standing by the rack felt her jaws drop.

"O-oh. One will be sent to you right away"

"Thanks"

Daya looked at the rack with a huge smile. Her mother could even get some. Her token from Seoul. Thankfully, they all had the same bust size, except Seolran. She won't like this. Daya walked to it again, taking them off the rack one after the other and girl just stared dumbfounded as she took clothes worth more than one million won for herself. She suddenly wanted Seungmin.

A knock. "The box must be here", Daya skipped to the door with a happy bounce.

"You asked for a box, ma'am"

"Yeah, I did", Daya smiled, taking the white leather box from him and rolling it in. "Please, come in", she said to the guy and he walked in, shutting the door. "He will be out to pay, soon"

She definitely couldn't fund for the box. A box bought at a hyundai hotel. It will be sold really pricey than at other stores. She unzipped the box, gently folding up the clothes in a way they would all fit into the huge box. The workers watched her. The boy at first thought it was an older man funding her bills till a boy about his age stepped out of the bathroom.

Seungmin's hands paused with the towel drying his hair on his head. He stared at the workers in the room, recognising the girl but not the male.

Daya turned to him, kneeling in front of a full box, "He brought the box", she informed with a bright smile before turning around and folding more clothes. She was almost done.

"Ah", Seungmin muttered. Why does she seem so happy over some clothes?. "How much does this box cost?"

"Wait. Wait", Daya raised her hands, stopping the boy from talking. "Can you not mention the price?", he nodded, confused as ever. Daya smiled. "Thank you", and she zipped up the box.
