ConsciousnessMijoo woke up to the smell of breakfast. She couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly, but it smelled good. She turned over in her bed and bumped into something quite hard and fluttered her eyes open to see that Mark was still sleeping next to her. She was confused a bit because she thought Mark was cooking something, but then she realized that BabySoul was here and it was probably her.
Mijoo stared at Mark. Just looking at him. At his features, his ashy blonde, almost brown hair, his cute nose, his soft lips, his eyes that showed her nothing but the truth...
