Waking up beside each other wasn’t as awkward as she imagined, because there was no each other. She woke up to an empty bed and somewhat felt a little disappointed.

Minseok was already in the dinning room sipping orange juice while reading newspaper, without acknowledging her presence when she sat down opposite him by the dining table. She frowned at his indifference and reached out for a slice of toast. She was more interested in filling her growling stomach before questioning Minseok’s sudden un-enthusiasm.
