The sun crept through the window of Winter's apartment slowly, spreading across the blanket and pillows strewn in her bedroom like a mess.
In the world, that is to wake up, but inside it, Giselle and Ningning were a whirlwind of energy racing to Winter's door, breathless and all disheveled.
Their hair was tousled, and their eyes still had sleep in them as they approached barely being able to catch their breath.
"Winter!" Giselle screamed, bracing herself against the front doorframe. Ningning clutched her waist hard, still trying to compose herself after that crazed dash.
"Open up, Winter Kim Min Jeong!" Ningning yelled in a voice that echoed through the stillness of the apartment. No answer came from inside, so she quickly typed in the code and pushed open the door.
Inside, they found a strange view: Winter lay out before them; her face was toward the ceiling, and a ginormous grin stretched out across her face.
She was tossing Banana up in the air, and the poor cat meowed indignant as he flailed midair, only to land softly into Winter's waiting arms.
"What in the world-?" Giselle whispered, not able to contain her confusion.
Ningning, eyes open wide, weeping and pleading, threw herself onto the bed and wrapped her arms around Winter, pulling the other girl into an unsuspecting hug, thinking Winter finally lost her mind.
Winter, caught by surprise at her sudden contact, blinked at her in mute amazement.
Ningning only wept more on her shoulder, but Winter was bewildered at her friend's reaction.
Giselle sat at the edge of the bed looking at Winter with concern and question.
"So what is it that you wanted to tell us?"
Winter suddenly remembered it all.
She flicked her wrist; happily, sending Banana flying in the back of the bed and banana disgruntled meow signalled his thud onto the floor.
Giselle in concern, looks past Winter and the cat came out from under the bed then began to lick himself not even bothered as to what had just happened.
"I've made up my mind!" she exclaimed, underlining excitement and roguishness in her eyes.
"What is it?" Giselle asked, leaning forward.
"I'm going to stop being sad and hiding," Winter declared, her smile growing bigger. "I'm going to start working again!"
Giselle gasped, staring with near-open-mouth shock.
