After meeting with her client, Seola rushed to the university where Eunseo was studying.

Took a look at the time, there was still some time left before Eunseo finishing her class.

A day before that, Seola knew almost nothing about Eunseo's campus life except the university and the course she chose.

The subjects Eunseo took, her daily lecture schedules, Seola has been searching online for some time for the past few days. Finally, everything puzzled together little by little from the information she found.

Seola waited at intersection of the elevator and the staircase exit, the place students pass by when leaving the campus.

Seola felt nervous, worse than facing her customers. She practiced the way to apologize and ask Eunseo to go back home several times in her mind. Crossing her finger tightly till her joints turned pale.

She wanted to meet Eunseo, telling Eunseo those feelings she kept to herself all this time, letting Eunseo know what she has been thinking for these days was only her.

However, class has ended for quite a while. Groups of student passed by Seola one after another, Eunseo was still nowhere to be found.

Then, Meiqi appeared, but the one Seola wished to see was not with her.

Seola furrowed. She was not the type to talk with someone unfamiliar first, even to an acquaintance, but she blocked Meiqi's way.

"Hello." Seola stretched her lips, forcing a smile to look friendly. "Excuse me, have you seen Eunseo?"

"Who are you?" Meiqi impatiently rolled her eyes, seeing Seola as soon as the elevator opened.

Seola awkwardly smiled back. "I'm Seola. I guess you know me..."

"Sorry, I don't know."

Meiqi bypassed Seola and was about to leave. Seola immediately grabbed her arm and asked again. "May I know where is Eunseo?"

"Ouch!!!"

Seola realized that she made a physical contact with a person she does not really know, so she instantly retreated her hand and apologized. "I'm sorry..."

Luda, who has been watching all the time, took a breath and wanted to say something. Noticing that sharp glance cast by Meiqi, she could only remain her expressionless face.

"She's doing great, without you. Don't worry." Meiqi answered coldly.

"Can you please tell me where she is?" Seola begged again.

"Where she is, is none of your business. You just have to know she's good. You don't have to be bothered." Meiqi hold Luda's hand and moved on. Seeing Seola was about to follow, Meiqi raised her voice and faked a fierce face, "Stop following us, unless you never want to know anything about her again." It worked, Seola finally stopped.

Luda, had her clothes crumpled being dragged all the way, having a hard time until Meiqi slowed down and loosened her hand.

It was just a whim to pick Meiqi up from school, she did not expect to encounter such a farce.

After tidying her attire, Luda said, "You don't have to be so pissed off. The fact that she came for Eunseo means that she still cares for her."

"Cares for Eunseo? More likely realizing her housekeeper is missing to handle all the house chores. That's why she's looking for Eunseo so desperately." Meiqi snorted in furious, unconsciously speeded up her footsteps, and spoke as if she is a rapper. "Oh, that's not right, not treating Eunseo as a housekeeper, but a dobby!"

Uh...? Such tall and huge dobby? Luda found it weird imagining that picture. Is not Eunseo even taller than Harry Potter?

While being distracted by her thought, Meiqi has gone far away. Luda trotted to catch her up. "Well, don't hold any anger because of her. Let's get some fried chicken for Eunseo."

"I bought that for her yesterday. Today I'm buying fish cake. She likes to eat fish cakes. Humph! I doubt that brat doesn't even know what Eunseo loves to eat!" Meiqi always got enraged thinking of Seola. She does not know what is so attractive about Seola that makes Eunseo fall for her that much.

"Slow down. Walk slowly. I'm weak." Luda told Meiqi. If they continued walking in this speed, she would not have any energy left to play games when they reach home.

Meiqi scratched her head, almost forgot that her girlfriend does not like exercising. She grabbed Luda hand and slowed down her pace. "How about buying Eunseo's favorite foods? She used to finish three bowls of rice in ease, but recently she couldn't even finish half of a bowl."

"Breaking up is like that. You'll be fine as long as you remain alive. Time cures wounds." Luda shrugged.

"Don't you ever become like Seola eonnie."

"She's too dumb in love, I can't even learn that dumbness." Luda jokingly replied but took the opportunity to voice out her piled up dissatisfaction. "By the way, I'm getting jealous of Eunseo, seeing how nice you've been to her."

Before that, when Luda was too into her games and neglected her meals, even upon being yelled by Meiqi several time, Meiqi would eat on her own if Luda did not react till the end. However, if Eunseo refuses to eat, Meiqi will coax her like a kid to eat, or pretend to get mad, or even feed Eunseo directly to make sure she do not starve.

"Luda, she..."

Luda cut off Meiqi, "It's nothing. Don't mind it. I understand." In fact, it is indeed a different situation and there is nothing to be jealous of, but still, Luda was jealous.

Meiqi tighten her lips, moved to the front of Luda and hugged her. "I'm different with Seola eonnie. I clearly know the person I love, is you. It's undeniable. I'm sorry to make you feel in this way."

"Meiqi..."

"When Eunseo decided to be with Seola eonnie, I should've opposed till the end..." Meiqi felt remorseful. "I've known Eunseo for ages. Everyone seems to be taken care by her, but the one with least sense of security and love, is Eunseo herself."

"It's not your fault, it's her choice." Luda patted Meiqi's back gently.

"She always says I know her well. But the truth is, it is just because I pay more attention to her more than others do. I've never really helped her anything. Otherwise, things wouldn't turn up in this way today."

Luda sighed. "When a person shines too bright, people tends to forget the unforeseen shadows behind the light."

Meiqi must know where Eunseo is. Perhaps Eunseo is staying with her now. The girl next to Meiqi seems to be aware of Eunseo's whereabouts as well. Knowing that at least Eunseo is safe for now, Seola felt glad what she has done was not completely meaningless.

As long as she keeps her mind free, Eunseo emerges in her mind, which bothers Seola a lot. To refrain herself getting stuck in thoughts, she could only make herself busy with other things.

Without Eunseo by her side, Seola really lives like a waste in daily life.

The clothes in the laundry basket piled up like a mountain since Eunseo left home. Finally Seola took the initiative to throw them into the washing machine.

Another sticky note was found on the washing machine. "Pour the blue fabric conditioner into the dispenser tray on the left side, then pour the pink softener into the middle dispenser, the second one. Use only "D mode" to do normal wash. If there is dirt on clothes, change to "G mode". Other than that, don't touch anything else. Never press any button before the green light shows up. Don't switch off the machine before finish washing. If not, the yard will be flooded."

Seola caressed the note filled with Eunseo's handwriting, the corner of her lips rose unconsciously. She recalled the day when she wanted to help Eunseo with the laundry. However, she did not know how to function the machine. Those things Eunseo told her before, she forgot about them. As a result, the machine stopped operating in the midst and water began to flow out. The compound was soaked in bubble water.

When Eunseo returned home and saw what happened, she almost passed out. She could do nothing after finding Seola look upset like a kid did something wrong. She could not blame Seola as she was just trying to help her out. All she could do was clearing up the mess caused by Seola, while nagging her non-stop.

Eunseo really loves to nag. Seola found that adorable while reminiscing those moments. Even though what she really felt back then was annoyance.

To be honest, having someone to nag you is a happy thing. Why did she feel annoyed at that time?

Seola used the machine according to the instructions noted down by Eunseo. This time, it should not cause any problems to her.

Seola moved to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, seeing noted stuck in the fridge too. "Finish the kimchi as soon as possible. Boil the dumplings before eating. Drink more water."

Seola bit her lips, traces of Eunseo, was scattereing all around.

Obeyed Eunseo's warm reminder, to finish the kimchi first. Seola took out the kimchi and heated them up, bringing the plate to the desktop computer table.

The computer belongs to Seola but Eunseo has an user account. It is normally used by Eunseo. Seola uses her company laptop more often.

That was why Seola did not think of to find clues through the desktop computer at first. It took her a while to log into Eunseo's account. Seola was surprised to find out Eunseo's login password is the date of her birthday.

Logging in Eunseo's account, it was like discovering a treasure chest, giving the chance to Seola to find out the things she never knows.

Just like scrolling through the picture folder. It was all the photos of Seola herself taken by Eunseo. For most of the pictures, it was the first time Seola seeing them. She could not even remember the moment when Eunseo took those photos.

So this is how Seola looks in Eunseo's sight. In most of the photographs, Seola was merely smiling. The photos were captured by Eunseo before Seola herself could notice the expression she was putting on.

It was also that moment when Seola found out Eunseo and she barely take photo together as a couple. Most of the joint photos were taken together with Bona and Exy.

When Seola was rejected by Bona, she did not cry. When Seola was raved by Bona few days ago, again, she did not tear up. However, looking at those photos, Seola suddenly felt her eyes sore, shocked by the fact that she was crying when tears slipped down till her chin.

It must be because the kimchi was too spicy, it must be becasue of that...
