9 - park date
with love, from meThe next morning, Seungwan feels herself super refreshed and energetic despite waking up early, and finds herself in the situation trying to explain to Mrs Baek how she ended up spending the night in Hajoon's house again, with Mrs Baek chuckling at her silliness and her helping out with the breakfast preparation.
"Ms Park," Mrs Baek calls out as she serves the side dishes, with Seungwan looking up at the stairs intuitively and then meeting Sooyoung's eyes while she walks down. "Just in time for breakfast."
