RESTART

A Place at Last?

When Whee-In arrived home, she was greeted by a beautiful sight. A sexy Hwasa sitting on the couch, eating an apple, and watching television. She wrapped her arms around Hwasa and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"You're home!" she said cheerfully. She got up, helped Whee-In out of her jacket, and hung it by the door. "You're in a good mood I see," she commented, feeling the joy spreading to her as she looked at Whee-In's face. "Did something good happen?"

"You could say that," she answered merrily.

"Mind sharing?"

"Anything for you."

"Anything?" She raised an eyebrow suggestively.

"Of course." Whee-In playfully followed along.

They placed their foreheads together and closed their eyes. "I would share the world with you," they said simultaneously as they smiled. They sat down on the sofa before continuing their conversation.

"So what's the good news?" Hwasa questioned eagerly.

"Yong-Sun Unnie said she's not leaving. She's moving back here!"

"Really!?"

"Yes! At least, that's what she said."

"Does she have any plans?"

"She's going to start her training as a doctor soon."

"Has she found a place to stay?"

"Not yet. I'm helping her with that at the moment. Speaking of that—" She turned towards Hwasa. "I wanted to tell you I can't be home as much since I'm helping her. I can't spend as much time with you."

"That's fine." She shrugged.

"What!? You're not even going to protest a little?"

"Do you want me to?"

"No, but—" She pouted and Hwasa chuckled.

She kissed Whee-In's forehead before she spoke, "We have our whole life to spend together. I'm just lending you to her for now, but just for now. Got it?"

"Mhm~" She smiled shyly.

They cuddled on the couch and enjoyed a movie together. Whee-In was asleep before the movie was even half way through. Hwasa carried her to bed and tugged her in before laying down herself. The next day, Hwasa was still asleep when Whee-In woke up. She smiled and gave Hwasa a kiss.

"Good morning beautiful," she whispered in Hwasa's ear before she got out of bed.

As she was getting ready, she made sure to be as quiet as she could. She also prepared breakfast and left a note for Hwasa.

Heat up the food before you eat it. I'm going to meet with Yong-Sun Unnie. You don't have to wait for me. I love you. - Forever yours, Whee-In.

Solar and Whee-In searched high and low, far and wide, at least within the zone limit they had set at the beginning, but it was to no avail. Another day was lost. They were tired from walking so they sat on the sidewalk. Their backs leaning against one another.

"Why is it so hard to find one place?" Whee-In wailed.

"This is hopeless." She sighed.

"No!" She renewed her resolve, "We can't give up!" She stood up suddenly, causing Solar to fall backward. "I won't fail you!" She extended her hand towards Solar to help her off the ground.

Solar was taken aback for a moment before she grabbed Whee-In's hand. "Are you alright?" She raised an eyebrow.

"I've never been better!" she exclaimed.
