Geon-woo grimaced, face twisting while morning light seeped in through the thin curtains of the small room. His shoulders ached from yesterday's training, his arm sluggishly lifting to grasp at the small ringing alarm clock beside his head. Bleary eyes refocused, vaguely making out the small arms ticking to 5am. His arm dropped and his eyelids followed when he tiredly lowered his head back onto the pillow.
Geon-woo felt himself slipping back into slumber, his fatigue beckoning him back into slumber, but his motivation got the best of him. With a small groan he knew he had to wake.
His head slipped to his shoulder, half lidden eyes softening at the sleeping figure curled in his side. Nari was pressed against him, fingers resting upon his wrinkled shirt, her one leg over his and her head pressed against his shoulder. His fingers lightly brushed her now shorter hair.
Since their return back to the countryside a lot had changed for the group of friends, mostly their appearences. They had thrown themselves into rigorous training. They needed to be fitter, stronger, better. They could'nt let Myeong-gil best them again, they couldn't allow to slip up and they couldn't afford to be weak. So they came up with routine. A tight, rigorous, exhausting and difficult routine that ensured they'd walk out untouchable. And they had.
Both Woo-jin and Nari had decided to go together to cut their hair, a drastic change they both needed. A way to finally let go of the past and move forward. A change they did together. Nari's long raven curls were now cropped to her shoudlers, while Woo-jin's locks were styled short and above his ears. Both hairstyles suited the two friends very well. Hyeon-ju kept her hair short, her hair lightly brushing her ears but she was no exception from the harsh training. Only, she did it on a lighter scale and instead started training with her baton and taser and somehow became their personal chef. Nari just thought it was an excuse to get out of the day long training programme Woo-jin and Geon-woo came up with. Nari sometimes emvied her when she was laying in a pool of her own sweat, defeated while Woo-jin pestered her about her form. Nari would threaten throwing him off the cliff if he didn't shut up. But she wouldn't deny their efforts were not in vain, they were stronger and they were way more prepared.
