1. content - Love isn't all about grand gestures and expensive gifts.
2. your eyes that are soaked in moonlight - Seulgi finds the answer to her (quite stupid, honestly) questions.
3. me, me, only me - Joohyun is way, way, way too bold and Seulgi is way, way, way too shy around her but Seulgi is hot and Joohyun is afraid of commitment so Seulgi has an advantage here.
4. sorry i can't be that girl - Joohyun's trying, she really is.
5. disorientation - She's been through countless days and nights, centuries passing by, the entirety of time and space ringing in her mind but not once has she woken up disoriented.
6. baby, it's cold outside - Seulgi's struggling to not die of hypothermia (and from waiting outside her best friend's house, what kind of death would that be?) and Irene finds it hard to keep her feelings for a person she should definitely not have feelings for in check.
7. mysterious ways; we couldn't help it - It wasn't love at first sight, sparks when they touch or flusters when they catch each other staring. They knew it wasn't love in the now, but with the future and its uncertainity; even if they didn't want it to, it was turning into love.
8. dying fires in the night - On days that fill her heart with warmth and nights spent with pointless thoughts passing in her mind, Joohyun thinks even the finest poetry could never compare to everything that makes up Ser Kang Seulgi.
9. been through - Sometimes, it feels like the entire world is out against you. Sometimes, you feel like you can't go on anymore, and sometimes, there seems to be no point in expressing your troubles to someone else—but it's always important to remember—the day will pass, life goes on and Irene knows, Seulgi would be there for her to make sure it does.
10. one day at a time: by/with/from kang seulgi - You muster up the courage to ask Joohyun out today. But it's not as simple as that, is it? It never is. Or, Seulgi wins a losing fight. No one else knows, no one else can tell, but it's okay.
11. unfalling - It's nice to keep going to where we first met, isn't it? Seulgi tells her. Joohyun wonders if she'll ever be able to admit that she doesn't want it to end at the place where it all started.
