WARM embraces and physical touch weren't really Haerin's favorite things in the world. It was tolerable, depending on who it was that hugged her, kissed her cheek or simply touched her. So when she opened her eyes and saw nothing but hair, she was a bit confused. The feline tried to push herself up a bit, but she was stuck in a hold of someone. It seems like Haerin was a big spoon and the person she was hugging was the little one. The cat-eyed girl shivered and gritted her teeth when she realized her arm was numb, but when the person shifted a bit and hid their face in the crook of the feline's neck, the hero knew who exactly was so neatly placed in her hold.

Danielle's face was looking blissful in the dark room. Her face looked relaxed, with a hint of a good dream swirling in her brain in this exact moment. Haerin and Jihye spent the whole night talking and they, just for a second, laid down to continue their weird rants about different things. The feline noticed how these unnecessary dialogues brought comfort to the brunette, so she continued on making her crush giggle and smile throughout the night. They must have fell asleep at one exact moment.

Haerin blinked a few times in admiration, staring at the girl like she hung stars in the sky. She herself looked like one—an endless galaxy. It was genuinely so hard to not get lost in her eyes, they were so captivating and full of their own personality, that the feline gulped whenever she had to make eye-contact with Danielle Marsh. And her beauty mark under her eye was so cute. It created an additional unique characteristic that could be gazed upon—with everything else that overall caused Haerin to fall for the girl. Right now? She had her in her arms. Well, she also had her yesterday—but that's not important. All that mattered was that the hero was feeling like she achieved the most in this exact moment. She had her whole world in her arms. A bit too extent of an explanation, but that's how she felt.

The cheerleader groaned and slowly opened her eyes, looking at Haerin through her lashes. The feline's eyes widened upon seeing the emotion that took over in her crush's eyes. It seemed genuine and romantic, making the Kang a bit taken aback and flustered. She cleared her throat and gently retreated her arm back from Danielle. The brunette girl smiled lightly and leaned on her elbows to support her weight on the sofa. "I guess we got too engrossed in our lively chit-chat," She commented with a light chuckle, making Haerin blush.

"I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable, sorry, I had no idea we were..." The feline started, but gulped, not being able to finish her sentence.

Danielle's eyes twinkled. "Cuddling?," She asked and her lips turned upwards, her teeth showing, when Haerin blushed more prominently. "No, don't worry. If anything—It made me feel safe and secure." Danielle confessed and the cat-looking girl sighed from relief, making eye contact with her crush and becoming overwhelmed—due to how romantic and intimate this moment between them was.
