The side of the bed beside hers was empty by the time she woke up. That would only meant Seonghwa had left for quite some time. But she knew he did sleep over somehow because in the middle of the night, when Eunbyul had decided to cry, she found his arms snaking around her waist which made him startled as well when she jolted up.

Seonghwa
I'm sorry I can't be there when you wake up
I had to go back to change
06:48 AM

Seonghwa
I've asked Yeonjun to send the expense
report that he has in his laptop to your email.
He said he saved all of the ones in yours
to a USB when he borrowed your laptop two
days ago.
06:49 AM

Seonghwa
You can come in to the office, finish
the papers and then go home.
06:50 AM

Seonghwa
I'll see you there.
06:51 AM

Yunhee felt the ground shaking beneath her when she got up but she knew she had to go to work one way or another. She knew Seonghwa would grant her a sick leave along with the pay but as long as she felt like she was well enough herself, she didn't want that.

Just like any other day, she got up and shower then change to her work attire. Before going out the door, she kissed her daughter goodbye and usually that would be it but she had to down two colorful pills that day prior to walking out the door.

It had started to look a lot like fall. Some leafs, weaker than others, had started to falter to the ground. Petals that bloomed so beautiful and filled with colors before, had started to wilt and yellowed. Fall, just like the name, was the season where everything cascaded down. It had also been the season when the lass fell for the boy with the most beautiful brown orbs and tousled hair.

Yunhee looked out the window all throughout her ride inside the cab, seeing how some things have turned brown and fallen to the ground. The sun was also a little shy that morning, with the clouds shielding it away from the attention it was supposed to get.

The moment she stepped in her office floor, Yeonjun was quick to call her in to his corner office. It would be a lie for the girl to say she didn't think it was Yeonjun who reset her laptop and she had pondered over it. But to think about it, that would've impacted him as well and he was not dumb enough to do that.

"Are you alright now?" he asked immediately as soon as she was inside.

"I am very much alright," she showed him a reassuring small smile.

"I heard about it, from Seonghwa-hyung," he began, "and I went through the surveillance footage but there seemed to be a loophole in the angle and I happen to place your laptop there. But I'll figure it out, okay? Do you have anyone in mind that might've done that? Are you on any bad terms with someone from the team?"

"Jun, it's fine," she reassured him, "you can take your time. I don't think finding who've done it could recover my documents."

"This is not supposed to happen," he added.

"It's fine, really," she repeated, "and you've send in the expense report to me, anyway. That happened to be just what I needed because the rest of the designs were mine so I was able to work with I remember."
