The breakfast was quiet and awkward. None of them spoke a word and just ate. Jeongyeon made them a full meal that included rice, vegetables, and meats. There were so many bowls to pick from.

Jeongyeon didn't mind the silence. She preferred to focus on eating quietly while Nayeon was the opposite. Her insides were itching to speak. She felt grateful for the pain reliever Jeongyeon gave her. Even more, she came downstairs to a delicious breakfast to heal her starving stomach.

"Uh, Jeongyeon..." Nayeon shyly started. The younger girl raised her eyebrows, signaling for her to continue, "Thank you for taking care of me and sorry for disturbing you." The brunette apologetically bowed.

Jeongyeon was taken back from Nayeon's words and actions. "It's okay." She hesitantly bowed back.

They didn't say anything else and continued to eat, but Nayeon's eyes were firm on Jeongyeon. She observed that the girl's blonde hair grew longer. It was almost at her shoulder now and she still haven't reverted back to her natural hair. The girl also wore a white t-shirt along with a black leather jacket that was placed behind her seat.

Thoughts about last night started to fill inside Nayeon's head. She really had no idea to what happened or how she even got to Jeongyeon's house. The memories seemed like they just disappeared. With this curiosity, the brunette decided to open her mouth.

"Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" Nayeon blurted out.

Jeongyeon stopped chewing and gulped down her food. She stared at her unknowingly, "You don't remember?"

"Uh, no." Nayeon confessed.

The younger girl nodded understandingly before starting, "I'll tell you what happened in my point of view while you were fast asleep." Nayeon watched attentively, "I was still working around midnight, until Jihyo suddenly barged inside my office with you on her shoulder."

Nayeon's eyebrows crooked, "How did that even happen? I mean, how did I end up in your office?" Her confusion exploded.

"She told me you were drunk and was headed to my building. I'm guessing you called her." Jeongyeon answered while putting more stuff in her bowl.

Nayeon put her chopsticks down and tried to think. After a few moments, her eyes lit up, "I think I remember! Before I went to the bar I remember stressing out about you." She recalled.

The blonde girl furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, "Why?"

"My parents scolded me with a letter because I haven't been talking to you." Nayeon told the younger girl before lifting up her chopsticks.

"That's right. We were supposed to be making a game together." Neither of them said anything again. Jeongyeon was desperate to talk about what happened at the Ferris Wheel. She didn't even know that something happened between them until Jihyo told her.

Her mouth opened, but Nayeon was first to avoid the topic, "So what happened after Jihyo went inside your office?" She asked.

"She left me with you and went back to the hospital. I wasn't sure if you were going to be fine being alone in your house, so I brought you to mine." Jeongyeon explained.

"So I was sleeping in your bedroom? With you... or?" Nayeon questioned. Her face reddened with deep thoughts.

"I slept in my workplace. There's a bed there." Jeongyeon corrected, "I'm going to work in a few minutes. Anything I can do for you?" The taller girl asked while putting on her leather jacket.

Nayeon wondered, "Um, I don't know, you can probably just drop-" Before completing her sentence, something important popped up from yesterday.
The letter. Nayeon's whole motive changed in an instant. "Actually, I would like it if I can go with you at work today." She suggested.

"Why is that?" Jeongyeon queried.

"We have to work on our game, remember?" Nayeon tried to play it off. The short haired girl didn't say anything else and took the dirty dishes from the table.

Nayeon was about to go upstairs to change, but she forgot she wasn't in her house. The household was completely different. There wasn't a speck of dust visible. She also realized that she didn't shower yesterday after noticing her attire with the familiar smell of alcohol. With this thought, the brunette reluctantly walked up to Jeongyeon in the kitchen sink.

"Can I shower?" Nayeon pondered.

"Yes, you may take some of my clothes if you'd like." Jeongyeon assured. The older girl walked away once she received the permission and jogged up the stairs.

Jeongyeon's bedroom was spacious. What taunted Nayeon the most was that the room looked normal– too normal. There was only a full sized bed that was placed by the wall.

Ignoring that, there was another door that caught Nayeon's eye. When she opened it, the room soon revealed as a closet. Jeongyeon obviously had a different style than the older girl. Nayeon loved to wear dresses and skirts, while Jeongyeon on the other hand didn't have any. Instead, there were plenty of hoodies, skinny jeans, and plain t-shirts. Black and white mostly took over the closet.

Nayeon carefully scanned the closet room. She preferred something better than black or white, so she chose a denim jacket with a white t-shirt to wear underneath, a ripped denim pants to match with, and white sneakers that happened to barely fit.

The girl didn't forget about the undergarments, she was just uncertain about using someone else's. Nervously, the tips of her fingers opened a random drawer. It was coincidentally Jeongyeon's underwear. She closed it back immediately, not having the bravery to look, let alone wear it.

"Screw it I'm wearing the same underwear."

Jeongyeon sat in the living room with coffee in her left hand, watching the television. Before having a long day at work, she tries to keep herself calm and relaxed.

The clock by the wall read 1:32PM. Jeongyeon goes to work at 9 in the morning, but she decided to take care of Nayeon first. She sent a text to her assistant, Momo, before drifting off to sleep just in case she was going to be late. The doors and night security turns off automatically at 9 too, so the CEO had nothing to worry about.

Jeongyeon turned off the TV with the remote controller and put her coffee in the sink, washing it right away. When she finished, she glanced at the stairs, hoping for an arrival. Though Jeongyeon decided not to be urgent instead and wait patiently for the girl getting ready. She strolled up the stairs to kill time by choosing a book, but stopped when her bedroom door was open. "Nayeon-ssi? Are you okay there?" Jeongyeon asked with a gentle knock by the wood.

"I'm just changing." Nayeon responded. She closed the door and proceeded to another room.

Suddenly, her feet stopped and stayed still. "If Nayeon used my clothes... did she...?" Jeongyeon turned around and knocked again, "Nayeon-ssi, would you like me to assist you?"

"Just one second." There wasn't a response for a few moments, but the latter spoke again, "Okay come in."

Jeongyeon entered and saw Nayeon in a white robe with wet hair after showering, clothes placed ready on the bed. The blonde girl walked passed her and made her way to the closet room to look for an untouched new underwear and bra package. After finding them, she closed the door behind her and walked up to Nayeon.

"You can choose whichever one you'd like, but I believe you'll have to take that one home with you." Jeongyeon leisurely said while offering the packages. Nayeon looked at her and slowly took the things from the girl's hands. "I will be downstairs, take your time." Jeongyeon informed before walking out of the room.

Nayeon furrowed her eyebrows towards the younger girl's personality. Soon, she started chuckling while shaking her head. Yoo Jeongyeon had a timid mind and wasn't actually someone who understood logical things as most people would think.
