The Drive (The Call 2)
Every Night (매일밤)A/N: okay... sooo... Sowon's vlog and Eunha's comment got my brain working and I remember The Call ^^ so why not give it a part 2, right?? xD
"Would you like to get your coat and come with me?"
"Where?"
"Just somewhere to make you happy."

Sowon's smile does not leave her face even as they walk towards her car. Well, who would stop smiling if your girlfriend refuses to let go of your hands even with people inside the elevator.
Despite knowing that their relationship could be a bomb to both of their careers, Eunha refuses to be put down by it. Instead, she has a firmer grip with their entwined hands when they see a couple of residents already in the elevator. The recklessly brave girl even has the audacity to greet one elderly who pretty much only knows her by her real name and not her stage name.
Every one has gotten off to the first floor but with Sowon having her car in the second floor basement, they had to stay more in the lift. That's when an old woman entered the lift, too.
"Halmeoni, I didn't know you get up this early!" Eunha had greeted the woman who was smiling at her already as she entered.
"I can say the same to you, young lady! I guess this friend is someone special?" the grandma eyed Sowon with mirth in her eyes.
"We can say, this unnie needs me to go somewhere." Eunha squeezed Sowon's hand who was just glad her hood had casted shadows on her face to hide her blush.
"It's because you've been cooped up in your apartment," Sowon defended herself. She then turned to the woman and politely said, "She needs to have some fresh air, right Ma'am?" The woman smiled and nodded.
"She's right Eunbi. But I guess this unnie..." she paused realizing she does not know Sowon's name.
"Oh right! Where are my manners! This is Sojung unnie, halmeoni." She smiled sweetly to the woman. "She's the one I talked to you before."
"Yeah?! How can I forget that!" the woman replied with an even greater smile. "So I guess Sojung needs to accompany you every time, right?"

Sowon opens her the passenger door for Eunha and as the younger takes her seat, she adjusts the seat belt for the other. It's a little thing that she loves doing for the other but it never fails to send butterflies in Eunha's stomach.
"Are you alright?" Sowon asks seeing Eunha looking at her with a flushed face.
"Ah-mmm... Yes, unnie. Thank you!" Eunha manages to croak. Just then, she realized how her hand is fisted on Sowon's coat and the older already has her eyes on it.
"Can I get a hug again?" Eunha then asked cutely. Just because...
Again, that draws a wide smile on Sowon's face and who knows, she might have been culturing butterflies and bugs in her stomach with the way it stirs for Eunha's actions.
The hug lasted for a while until they heard a car entering the garage.

Outside is still dark with a hint of pink in the horizon. The streets however, are starting to come to life. By the roadside, some strays are stretching as they walk, vendors are starting to heat their spots and some street cleaners are already halfway their tasks seeing the bags of trash they have already packed.
"You can take a short nap, love. We're about 15 minutes away." Sowon softly says as she takes a glance of Eunha's droopy eyes.
"I can't do that." Eunha shortly replies as she focuses her eyes on Sowon this time. She already had satisfied herself with scanning the streets as they pass by. "It's time for me to enjoy the beauty our world has." she then added brazenly and shamelessly stares at the older who could only squirm on her seat and wills herself to focus on the road.
"You are getting bolder each day, don't you?" Sowon remarks minutes after Eunha had made her focus more on the road. She really has nothing to say about Eunha's words but her actions. Well, Eunha's actions speak louder than her high-pitched voice can ever make.
"You love me still." Again, a short reply and a hit on Sowon's heart. "And I fall for you even more each day." she added.
Eunha can only smile- it actually may be a grin now, seeing the hues of red playing on Sowon's face with every word bomb she drops. Boy! How she's satisfied with herself!

Sowon inwardly rejoices at the satisfied look her girlfri
