As i say earlier, no worries. I’m a good girl.” Jiyeon look at her, smile and nod.

They arrive at eunjung house. “go and take shower. You can use guest room at the right side. My room will be in front of the room.” Eunjung say to jiyeon heading to the kitchen to drink some water. “is it ok for me to be here eunjung~ssi?
