ex-nemesis {sahyo}

warm nights - mura kami

————— • —————

Jihyo's eyes fluttered open as the morning light flowed through the curtains of her room. Her mind was out of place as she questioned how she got in her room. A subtle sigh left her mouth as she almost got up but was held back by weight on her torso pulling her. She looked over her arm to be greeted with a sleepy, blonde girl in her bed. Her hair was messy, tossed over behind her and her sweater was sliding off her left shoulder all in the best way possible. Her hold on the girl loosened as Jihyo fell back to bed while facing her.

"Good morning, partner," the younger girl said huskily, receiving a slight smile from Sana and a chuckle. "Morning.." she responded with coarseness running through her voice.

"Sleep well?" Jihyo asked as Sana shifted to look at the girl, admiring the aspects of her face. The sunlight shined so her jawline shadowed her neck and making her eyes look much more beautiful than they already were. It was so perfect. She hummed as she brought her hand up to Jihyo's cheek, stroking it with her thumb. The latter rested her head on Jihyo's and gave her a small laugh. They stayed like this, the silence surrounding them and giving them slight comfort with eachother. After a while, Sana pulled Jihyo into her arms and hugged her tightly, loving the way she laughed at her sudden action.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Jihyo asked, laughing even more when the girl squeezed more. She embraced her until Jihyo asked if they wanted to go and eat. Sana ran her fingers through her hair and nodded, giving her a quick peck on the forehead before getting up to go to the kitchen.

The younger found her way to the bathroom as she washed up, taking her time with washing herself and cleaning up. Jihyo put on black running shorts and a 'Texas University' sweatshirt she got from her dad. She threw her clothes in the hamper and made her way into the kitchen. Sana was there, still in her night clothes, cooking up a storm with all the food she could find. Jihyo was mesmerized by the aura rising from the pans as she got out two plates and set them on the island with forks and chopsticks.

"What's this?" she asked, peering around Sana's shoulder. "It's rice, soup, meat, some grilled short ribs (galbi), spicy seafood salad, bean sprout rice (kongnamul bab), spicy stewed fish, cold cucumber soup (oi naengguk), seasoned kelp, and radish strip kimchi (moo saengchae)," the girl responded, leaving Jihyo amazed.

"Who are you cooking for, the whole neighborhood? My god," she exclaimed. "Is it too much, Miss Park?" Sana questioned with sarcastic worry in her voice. The younger shook her head and grinned as she walked to set the island up with more mats. As soon as she was done, she set all the pans onto the mats and they both got to eating. Sana was obviously famished as she devoured the food, already helping herself to a second serving in minutes. Jihyo could only laugh at how silly the girl was, eating everything like it was her last.

They finished everything on the island, leaving once full pans to be empty. Jihyo decided to hand-wash the pans that day instead of putting them in the dishwasher. It took some time to persuade the stubborn Sana that it was totally fine for her to wash them all, but she got through to her as Sana walked to her room to shower and change up.

The latter came back after about thirty minutes wearing a loose, short-sleeved shirt with ripped jean shorts. She was about to plop herself on the floor when a noise rang throughout the house. A noise that was became more familiar as it continued.

The phone was ringing.

Sana managed a short glance at Jihyo, who was laying on the couch with one of her arms hanging off the edge, before bolting towards the sound. She found her phone, struggling to turn it over to read the caller ID. Momoring~.
