After recovering from the initial shock, Byul-YI checked Yongsun's neck temperature and questioned :

__ Are you conscious of what you just heard and said, Ddun?

__ Yeah. It's not a high fever. I'm just a bit drained physically. But I'm not delirious.__ The brunette slowly turned and faced the red-haired.

__ Alright. So...I meant it. I guess I'm falling for you. For real. It's not just great . I can't deny that our chemistry is insane.

__ I know, right?__ The 30-year-old blushed and smiled.

__ So what do we do now? I was afraid to admit it because I don't wanna lose you. You're my person.__ Byul-YI said in the cutest way. 

Yongsun kissed her friend's cheek and replied:

__ I've been through the same doubts and fears, Byul-ah. But if we think about it, it's actually perfect BECAUSE we are each other's person.

Feeling lots of butterflies in her stomach, the 29-year-old hesitated before asking:

__ So...Are we doing this? Are we becoming a couple? For real?

Giggling, the brunette responded:

__ Haven't we been a real couple since forever? At least according to other people.

__ True. But you know what I mean.

__ I do, Byul Byul. I wanna be your girlfriend for real. With all the privileges and responsibilities.

Exhaling, the red-haired grinned and placed a soft peck on the brunette's lips.

__ Ok. Your first task is pretty simple. Sleep in my arms to be well enough tomorrow, so that I can take you to the doctor.

__ Ah...The doctor? Is that really necessary?__ The older one whined.

__ Unless you prefer to sleep on your own.

Pouting, Yongsun mumbled:

__ Byul Byul is acting cruelly towards Yong Yong.

__ Will Yong Yong be a good girl?

__ But...you don't like good girls...

Laughing, Byul-YI spooned her best friend and sniffed her hair.

__ I like my Ddun! Either as a good or bad girl.

__ Okay then. I'll be a good girl during the day and bad at night. Except today. No energy for the bad girl part.

__ It's perfectly fine. You can just be my babe. Sweet dreams, Ddunnie.__ The younger one kissed the advertising agent's shoulder and cheek.

__ Night Night, girlfriend.__ The older one smiled brightly.

As agreed, they did go to the doctor the following day and Byul-YI's friend enjoyed seeing her so whipped.

The woman did a check-up on Yongsun and prescribed a couple of medications to make sure infection was properly dealt with.

The 29-year-old insisted that Yong stayed home instead of going to the agency. But then, the brunette hugged her and didn't let her go either.

They called their boss saying they were sick and promised to do their job at home.

Despite not being fully recovered yet, the 30-year-old did her best to respect the deadline of their current project.

The duo went back to presential work 3 days later.

Their colleagues, who always gossiped about them and their couple vibes, became even more impressed with the powerful team that week.

Byul-YI was even more caring and soft with her best friend and they couldn't stop exchanging little smiles and hugs whenever they bumped in
