Manya had barely slept for three hours before getting ready for the office. As she stepped out of her bedroom, she saw Niharika, her housemate and close friend, also ready for work.
"When did you get home?" Niha asked, eyeing Manya's tired expression.
"Quite a while ago," Manya replied nonchalantly. They both hurried through their breakfast and rushed out the door.
On the way to the office, Manya wrestled with whether to disclose her encounter with Nam Joon the previous night. Niha, a proud BTS Army member and an avid Suga stan, was the source of most of Manya's knowledge about the group. Despite their close friendship, something held her back from sharing the details of last night.
Niha chatted animatedly during the entire commute, unaware of the turmoil in Manya's mind. When they finally reached their office building and stepped out of the car, Niha turned to her friend with concern.
"Are you okay? You seem tired, and you didn't talk much."
Manya forced a smile. "I'm just sleep-deprived. It's okay, let's go."
"Girl, you should have taken the day off," Niha insisted. "Come on, get back home and rest."
As they walked towards the entrance, Manya shook her head. "It's okay, I can handle it. We have important meetings today."
With that, they entered the office, shifting their conversation to the day's agenda. Manya's thoughts, however, kept drifting back to Nam Joon and the unforgettable night they had shared. The morning meetings were a blur, her mind occupied by a blend of exhaustion and the previous night's memories.
During a brief break, Manya found herself staring out of the window, lost in thought. Niha approached her with a cup of coffee, handing it to her with a worried look.
"Here, maybe this will help. Seriously, Manya, you need to take care of yourself."
Manya accepted the coffee with a grateful smile. "Thanks, Niha. I'll be fine. Just need to get through today."
Niha sighed, giving her friend a supportive pat on the shoulder.
"Niha, you're the best," Manya said sincerely, taking a sip of the coffee.
