Presence
9월 17일 (September 17th)It was the end of another very boring Computer Science lecture and Joohyun’s head was flat on the desk from the information overload. Seulgi took advantage of the situation by snapping a few photos with her phone for keepsake. She then patted the girl’s head gently, “Joohyun? Wake up…”
Stirring, Joohyun’s eyes fluttered open and she groaned, voice thick with sleep, “Is… is it over?”
