Something Just Like ThisBackstory timeee~
Mina wakes up to the deafening blaring of her alarm. She groggily searches for her phone while trying to keep her consciousness, she finds it about three minutes later and once she opens it, she’s blinded by its luminous screen. After a few seconds, she is finally well adjusted to the bright light of her phone.
