The time to open up gifts came about and Sehun still had not returned.   To distract herself from worrying over Sehun, Chaeyoung watched Kai unwrap his gifts. Then she realised, she had nothing to offer him.   She should’ve atleast drawn up a card or purchased something but it was so sudden that she didn’t get the chance to even get anything for Kai.   Even if Kai was still close to a stranger to her, she felt guilty for not presenting him with a gift.
