Note: THIS IS A SEPARATE STORY FROM THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. wrote this because i stumbled on a clip of two girls (semo and emo i'm told their names are) and i thought they really resembled Seulgi and Joy and got inspired. some of their dialogue near the end is also referenced here. enjoy.



"Well, this is kinky..."

"Shut up!"

She couldn't see the other girl's face but she clearly imagined the pink blush dusting her round cheeks and grinned.

"If you want me to shut up, better use a gag for that, love..."

"Seulgi please!"

"Joy please," she whined mischievously and reached out, blindly searching for her girlfriend. "Can you blame me? I'm the one being blindfolded here, I can't help being reminded of our fun times—"

"If you don't stop that right now, I'm gonna rethink this whole thing!" The other girl warned, finality in her tone.

Seulgi obeyed, smirking as she sensed the other girl plop down in front of her. She couldn't see on account of the eye mask blocking her vision but she could smell Joy's sweet fragrance that had her sniffing unconsciously as though she had a cold.

"Okay, that's done. Now what else?," Joy muttered. "Light ring on, check. Ambient music, check. Camera working fine, check. Laptop, check. Hmmm...candy bowl here and...hey!"

Seulgi yelped when her sneaking fingers were abruptly knocked away as they inched hopefully towards the bowl of sweets Joy had prepared for the video. "Sorry!"

"You better be!"

Without seeing her glare, Seulgi couldn't take her girlfriend seriously and she burst into giggles to the tune of Joy's drawn-out groan.

"Can you be serious for five more minutes?" Joy said exasperatedly. "I need to make sure I have everything set."

"But I am everything," Seulgi quipped. "At least that's what you said to me at the airport, remember?"

She grinned when Joy didn't answer but fell quiet to let her girlfriend get on with preparing to shoot the video of the day. Meticulous to a fault, Joy could get really antsy in preparation to deliver her all for the shooting and Seulgi could appreciate that. She decided to lay off for now-she didn't want to add to Joy's anxieties.

"Hey," she said at length, feeling her conscience nudge her, "I'm sorry if I took it too far. I was...trying to lighten up the atmosphere. You get so stressed out, babe."

She was pleasantly surprised to receive a quick peck on the forehead.

"I know, you goof. Thank you for doing this for me by the way, I know you're busy," Joy whispered close to her ear.

"Eh, who cares. Econ can wait," Seulgi chuckled uneasily, thinking of the pile of papers awaiting for her attention. But she didn't hesitate to chuck aside those tedious assignments in return some quality time with her girlfriend.

Joy had taken to youtubing like a fish takes water and excitedly roped in her girlfriend Seulgi on her quest to master the art of curating and growing her burgeoning Youtube channel JollyJoys.

She researched for hours on end and talked Seulgi's ears off about topics varying from cameras and light equipment and marketing brands and deals and sponsors and tags and youtuber challenges and video editing software to slime and mukbangs and ASMR and DIY and gaming and Minecraft.

There really was no guessing the next thing that Joy would want to try out. Seulgi gamely went along with her enthusiastic girlfriend, pleased that Joy was slowly moving on after the terrible event that had nearly broke her.
