SEYOUNGʼS HIDEOUT

Chaeyoung woke up naked, and the first thing that came to her mind was to rush to Seyoung's closet to get some clothes before anyone saw her naked body. But before she could even open the closet, she was stopped dead in her tracks when suddenly a knock was heard.

"Seyoung-ah, I'm coming in!" shouted the knocker.

There was no way Chaeyoung could go wrong. She knew the owner of that voice. It was YooA. Chaeyoung felt panicky, nearly tripping over her feet as she rushed back to the bed to cover her naked body with a blanket. But it was too late, YooA saw everything.

"S-Seyoung-ah." YooA swallowed, unable to get the sight out of her mind. "Are you. . . already covered?" she asked to make sure. Her back was still facing Chaeyoung as her hands caught her blushing cheeks.

Chaeyoung, on the other hand, doesn't know what to do. She was sweating profusely as her heart was beating so hard, so loud. Her bitter past with Somi came back to haunt her.

"Chaeyoung-ie! Where are you?" Somi shouted excitedly as she held a box of strawberry cake and entered Seyoung's bedroom. She laid the cake on the bed and walked to the bathroom when she heard the rush of water from there.

"Baby, I'm coming in!" she said, in a rather loud voice, and giggled quietly. Soon, she turned the doorknob saying, "My Chaeyoung-ie, happy first anni―" She stopped mid-sentence when her girlfriend's private parts were exposed to her eyes.

Seeing Somi stiffen in her place, just staring at her in daze, Chaeyoung swiftly pulled the towel from the holder to wrap it around her naked body. 

"B-Baby, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you I'll pick you up?" Chaeyoung asked nervously as she walked closer to Somi, pressing the towel tightly so it wouldn't fall off.

Chaeyoung was about to hold Somi when all of a sudden her girlfriend backed away, a few steps away from her, looking terrified.

"Don't you dare touch me," Somi managed to say as her tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. But Chaeyoung ignored it and continued to approach her, which caused Somi to raise her voice at her, "I SAID DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME, YOU MONSTER!!!" and she violently slapped Chaeyoung's hand away from her.

"Baby, I beg you to forgive me for not telling you this. About me being an intersex." Chaeyoung bit her lower lip to surpass her tears. "Please, don't leave me just because of this. I swear I didn't want it, I didn't ask for it. Please, baby, don't leave me," she begged.

"Is this the reason, why you always reject me?" Somi asked looking deeply into Chaeyoung's eyes.

"Yes, I admit that, because I know you will leave me when you find out that I have a, a dick. That's why I kept it from you." Chaeyoung tried again to hold Somi, but this time her girlfriend pushed her hard causing her leg to fracture.

"I accepted you having a DID but as an intersex." Somi shook her head emotionally. "No, I can't, and from now on..." She bit her bottom lip hard, seeming to struggle to get her words out. "From now on... there's no us. There's no... there's no MiChaeng, Son Chaeyoung," and she finally left Chaeyoug, leaving the door open.
