Chapter 5: Sweet Nothings

Seulgi feels like crap. Her bones feel like jelly. She remembers everything that happened last night. Sometimes she hates getting a high IQ score. Her photographic memory is not handy in times like this. She opens her eyes and sees that she’s dressed in pajamas. Joohyun might have changed her clothes when she passed out. She sees the door is opened. This must be Joohyun’s room. It’s neat and simple. She tries going out and sees that Joohyun is busy making something in the kitchen.
