[Sana's POV]

Sitting on the couch, Sana's eyes wandered around the apartment. This was the first time she visited Jihyo's home. She couldn't help but look around, admiring the space in which Jihyo spent her time.

"Hey, I'm back," Jihyo says, walking to and sitting beside Sana on the sofa. "I managed to get Dahyun to sleep for a bit."

"That's good," Sana smiles.

There's a moment of silence between the two before Jihyo speaks out to break the awkward tension.

"What have you been doing?"

"Ah, I was just looking at your apartment..." Sana tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "It's nice in here."

"Thanks. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted the interior design."

"You designed this, Jihyo? Wow... you're so talented in like... everything."

Jihyo snickers. "I didn't think you were one for flattery, Sana."

"Hey, I'm being serious!"

The two share a giggle, laughing away the lingering silence that once filled the apartment.



"So... how are you holding up? From the whole situation earlier." Jihyo shifts to sit closer to Sana, placing her hand atop hers.

"I've been okay. Just... reading the comments under our dating announcement. A lot of people are seeing it; more than I thought. A few coworkers even sent me some messages."

"Oh... well, what did they say?"

"It was nothing bad. They were shocked of course, but they were nice and supportive. I just don't think it hit me yet, the fact we're... dating." Sana moves her hand onto Jihyo's and interlaces
fingers slowly.

Jihyo smiles, flustered. "I-I don't think it's hit me yet either."

A brief stillness fills the air.

"Do you...regret it...?" A solemn expression finds its way onto Jihyo's face.

"Huh? No, of course not. Where's this coming from?"

"Sorry, you just look like you're contemplating something..."

"This is everything I've been wanting, Jihyo. Don't worry so much."

"Sorry..."

"Don't be. You have nothing to be sorry about."

"No, I'm sorry for bringing the mood down. I've been feeling sorta overwhelmed lately, I didn't mean for it to burden you—"

"Jihyo, look at me."
