The week you dedicated to Aiah has come to an end, and now, it's time to focus on spending some quality moments with Colet. You woke up that morning, instantly noticing the empty spot beside you in bed. The sheets were cold, a clear sign that Aiah had left early again, just as she often did. With a sigh, you muttered to yourself, "Aiah left early without a proper goodbye again." This routine had become all too familiar. Despite her promises to make time for you, she always ended up leaving before you woke, only to return late at night, often when you were already asleep. The loneliness of these mornings weighed heavily on you, and no matter how often it happened, it still stung.

Feeling a bit disheartened, you reached for your phone. As you unlocked it, the date caught your attention, making your eyes widen in realization. A grin slowly spread across your face as you whispered to yourself, "Looks like it's time for me to move to a different room now." You chuckled at the thought but couldn't help feeling a small glimmer of hope that Aiah would come home after these long weeks apart. Deep down, you wished she'd surprise you, even if it meant just a little more time together.

Just as you were about to get out of bed, your phone buzzed with a new message. It was from someone. "Hey, how are you and the girls? I miss you. Just hang in there for a little while longer, hmm? And I'll be home with you, okay?" The message made you smile, your heart swelling with warmth despite the frustration. You quickly typed a reply, telling her how much you missed her and to take care of herself.

After sending the message, you took a deep breath and got out of bed. You went through your morning routine-brushing your teeth, washing your face, and combing your hair. You slipped on a simple white shirt and your favorite pair of comfortable pants. Today felt like a relaxed day, and you weren't in the mood for anything fancy but still need to go see your friends later.

Once dressed, you headed downstairs. The familiar sounds of the girls' laughter and the clatter of dishes filled the air, bringing a sense of comfort. As you reached the kitchen, you were greeted by a lively scene. Four girls were bustling around the kitchen, preparing breakfast together, while three others were sprawled out on the couch in the living room, their attention focused on the TV.

The sight of them brought a smile to your face. You walked over to the fridge, opening it to grab a glass of water. "Good morning," you greeted them cheerfully.

As soon as Mikha saw you, her face lit up, and she wasted no time rushing over to you. Before you could react, she wrapped her arms around you from behind, pulling you into a tight back hug. Without hesitation, she buried her face in your neck, inhaling your scent deeply. "Hmm, you smell so good," she murmured softly, pressing light kisses against your neck.

Maloi, Gwen, and Stacey, still focused on cooking and setting the table, exchanged knowing smiles but didn't interrupt. They were used to Mikha's affectionate nature, and no one made an effort to stop her.

As you stood there with Mikha clinging to you, Maloi called out your name. "Y/n?" Her voice was gentle but carried through the kitchen, catching your attention. You hummed in response, turning slightly toward her, though Mikha continued to nuzzle into your neck, her lips trailing lightly along your skin.

Maloi wiped her hands on a towel before turning to face you fully. "Aiah wanted me to apologize on her behalf for not saying goodbye again this morning." Her voice was soft, understanding, as she stepped closer to you. She leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to your lips, her touch offering comfort.

Mikha, unfazed by the intimate exchange, let out a playful chuckle and nipped at your neck. The sudden sensation made you gasp in surprise, causing her to laugh even louder.
