Seunghee locks herself in her room for the rest of the day. She’s trying to get over the feeling. The feeling of Taehyung’s lips on hers. It lingers, and it bothers her to the point where she can still clearly feel him until this point. The question is, why? She should hate it. She should be despising him for this. But she isn’t. She’s feeling none of that towards him. In fact, she’s even somewhat thrilled. And that’s what she hates. She’s mortified by herself. How can she face Jeonghan with this kind of façade? Kissing another man and liking it, what does it make her? A cheat. But she loves him. She doesn’t feel anything towards the other guy. She just can’t figure out what’s making her feel this way. She has to get over it soon.

Inside Jeonghan’s music room, the couple are preparing their songs. It’s afternoon and Taehyung is nowhere to be found since early morning. It’s a day after that incident.

“Why don’t you sleep over tonight?” Seunghee utters unexpectedly.

“What do you mean sleep over?” Jeonghan asks, still busy with his composition.

“Sleep over. Sleep in my apartment,” she simply says.

“Where do I get to sleep? If I’m sleeping on the couch, then never mind,” Jeonghan doesn’t lift his head up yet.

“Would I ask you to sleep on the couch now? Of course you can sleep beside me.”

This makes his head turn to her instantly and gazes directly into her eyes. She jerks confused of why he’s doing this.

“W-wae?” she stutters.

“Do I get to do it now?” he asks seriously.

“It?” she repeats and gets what he’s pointing at, “Probably.”

“Probably? Alright, I know I said I won’t talk about it so never mind,” he gets back to his project, can’t hide his disappointment.

“Hey…” she clings onto his arm and leans her chin on his shoulder, “I just wanna be with you. We’ve been busy these past few weeks with all the projects and stuffs.”

He turns to her with a serious face, “If I get to sleep with you inside a closed room, I don’t think it’s possible for me to…”

Her face shows it all, it’s not on her head. So he just sighs and admits defeat but she says something troubling.

“You can do whatever you want with me,” she firmly says.

He’s truly shocked. He looks at her as if she’s some kind of monster.

“Hey, I said you-“ she repeats.

“I heard it loud and clear,” he sounds overexcited.

“So are you coming over?”

“Of course! Of course I am. I’ll just check my things okay?”

He gets out of the music room and runs to his bedroom. He franticly searches inside his bag and finally finds the piece of plastic he’s looking for. He sighs and storms back to Seunghee in the music room. Surprisingly, he hears her singing, with the accompaniment of the piano. He stands by the door and listens to her.
