‘‘Alright so this is the bedroom. I made sure to get two beds installed as soon as I moved in. The one nearby the door is mine, and the one against the wall is obviously yours. As you can see, there are two wooden nightstands, one next to your bed. It has a both a drawer and a cabinet for storage.’’, Seulgi explained as she pointed at the subjects of the conversation. ‘‘We do have to share one closet if you don’t mind. There is no need to fear though, it is just for a while.’’

She furrowed her eyebrows and supported her elbow on her hand, as her fingers caressed her chin. Joohyun could not help but smile, knowing too well of her best friend’s habit each time she pondered about something.

‘‘3-4 weeks perhaps? I just need some time to think about where to add an extra closet.’’

‘‘Seulgi, you really don’t need to waste any money on an extra closet. I don’t even own much clothing.’’ Joohyun hated when someone spent money on her, no matter how wealthy they were. She had a job for a reason after all. Paying for someone else however, was no issue, specially if she cared about the person.

‘‘Joohyun, please. I know we are both acquainted with these facts but let me list them again. Firstly,'' Seulgi held her index finger up. Joohyun crossed her arms amusedly, as she listened to a conversation that had been repeated often during the past two weeks. ‘‘Money is no issue for me. We both know about my family’s wealth and there is something called earnings. Earnings is money - ah yes money - obtained in exchange for labour or services.’’

Joohyun could not help but roll her eyes as Seulgi put emphasis on the word money.

‘‘Secondly, I know you don’t find fashion important…obviously’’, Seulgi stated as the look in her eyes visibly criticized the sight in front of her, which was Joohyun’s clothing. She cleared . ‘‘But for me it is important. I do not wish to become a fashion terrorist. Don’t worry, I still respect you regardless of that fact.’’ This time she received a slap on her arm.

‘‘Hello! A bit nicer thank you very much!’’, Joohyun protested.

‘‘Just stating some facts. You only own like one black shirt, a grey sweater and black jeans. Couldn’t you at least try harder?’’ Seulgi sighed dramatically before she continued.

‘‘But my point is that, unlike you, I do spend money on clothes, and I really need some space for them, therefore an extra closet is a must. Thirdly, if we have a guest, they will also need space for their clothes. And since you don’t really need a closet, I am sure that you won’t mind sharing it.’’ She continued rubbing her chin. ‘‘Is there another reason? I can’t remember anything, so I guess these three very strong arguments will do.’’

‘‘You really like arguing, don’t you? It makes me love you and hate you at the same time’’, Joohyun chuckled.

‘‘I mean, we both know that I am the queen of arguments. And you made a statement that I just had to debunk!’’

Joohyun reached for the taller girl’s head and tousled her hair. ‘‘The profession of a lawyer surely fits you.’’ Seulgi grabbed Joohyun’s wrist, laughing.

‘‘Stop messing up my hair crazy woman!’’, Seulgi pouted as she fixed her bangs and tightened her bun.

Seulgi finished showing Joohyun the rest of the apartment. An open kitchen connected to the living room and the entrance, two bathrooms. One consisted of a bath which also included a showerhead, and toilet. And the other bathroom consisted of a shower and another toilet. Joohyun loved the apartment, even though she was not picky about where she lived anyways. All she wished for was feeling comfortable and having her own space, something she would not have ever dreamed of experiencing until two weeks ago. She retreated into the bedroom to finish unpacking.

Joohyun let herself drop on her very comfortable bed and grabbed the baggage she had brought with her. She felt a heavy melancholic feeling taking over her, as she observed the bag. The knot in her stomach growing stronger as well as waves of guilt. Joohyun dropped her hands on her lap, sitting as still as a statue, as she became immersed in her thoughts. Was this the correct way to solve things? Were her reasons valid enough? Did she give up too easily? Was there still hope to fix things?

These questions haunted her every minute she spent alone, sometimes even terrorizing her while she was engaging in a conversation. However, due to her expressionless face most people misunderstood her lack of attention during a conversation for disinterest. Joohyun felt like she was losing the ability to live in the present, to engage with reality, and as if she was too powerless to do anything about it.

‘‘Joohy-‘’, Seulgi had entered the bedroom, the smile on her face disappeared as a worrisome expression took it’s place. She padded towards Joohyun and carefully sat down next to her, the bag resting between them. Joohyun’s eyes were still glued on the bag, as she did not notice her friend’s presence.
