A slow Sunday. A comfortable silence.

A stifled sigh, and Hitomi glances up from where she has her head leaning on Chaewon’s shoulder. She doesn’t have to ask what’s up because Chaewon is already explaining: “Yena-unnie is at it again.”

Hitomi hums, tune questioning. So Chaewon goes on, “She sent a question asking, and I quote, hey yall ever think about how holiday could’ve been a mix of holy and day? Unquote.” Chaewon pauses, then snorts. “Hyewon-unnie just sent in a picture of a clown.”

“I mean, holiday does sound like holy day,” Hitomi lightly says.

Chaewon mums, thumbs tapping across the screen. Hitomi relaxes back, eyes fluttering close—

Except then Chaewon puts her phone away and moves to capture Hitomi’s lips in hers, smile widening against Hitomi’s mouth at her exhale of surprise. Hitomi prepares for the older girl to pull away, just like the countless surprise kisses before this one, except Chaewon doesn’t pull back. A ghost of tingles sneaks behind her head, and then warm fingers curl around Hitomi’s neck, Chaewon tilting her head to deepen their kiss. Somewhere along the hot seconds, Hitomi clutches at the front of the older girl’s shirt (and she doesn’t know if it was her attempt to push Chaewon away,

or pull her closer.)

A distance away from them, on the table next to the couch, Chaewon’s phone lights up, a notification unfolding across the screen of Eunbi sending in a message:

EXCUSE ME DID OUR INNOCENT CHAEWON REALLY JUST SAID ‘it can’t be formed from holy and day if u did unholy things during the day ;)’ IM CALLING THE POLICE

Yena replying right after:

chaewon? Innocent? eunb-unnie u sure u know her?

Then Chaeyeon’s notification, bumping that one out in less than a minute:

Chaewon, I know you’re with Hii-chan right now, whatever you do please Do Not besmirch our couch. Much thanks.

(And lastly, while the pair in the couch is blissfully unaware of the chaos—lost in each other’s mouths and touches—Yena’s notification comes in screeching:

HOLD ON PARDON ME WH
WHAT ARE U INSINUATING
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
