Taeyeon cried herself to sleep that day and when she woke up the girls had already gone to school. They left a note next to her.

Unnie we’ve all gone to school, don’t worry about us when you wake up. Eat, look after yourself and stay strong. Taeyeon unnie hwaiting! Xxx

Taeyeon smiled at the note the girls had left and checked the time. Once she looked at the time she was very surprise; she’d slept throughout the morning and it was almost 5 o’clock.

“The girls will be home soon.” Taeyeon dragged herself out bed and started to make food for the girls.

Soon enough, the girls came bouncing in through the door looking extremely happy. Taeyeon smiled at them as they came over to hug and kiss her.

“Annyeong unnie! How are you?” Seohyun asked.

“I’m fine Seobaby.”

Once they all had a mug Taeyeon sat by them with her mug and started talking to them.

“What shall we do now unnie?” Seohyun asked.

“About what?”

“The murder and proving your innocence.” She explained. Taeyeon froze in her seat and sighed.

“I honestly don’t know but let’s talk about that later. We haven’t had any kind of fun in a while. We should sit down with each other more often and talk.” The girls nodded in agreement and Taeyeon watched each of them carefully as they took a sip of their hot chocolate.

Throughout their conversations Taeyeon just kept an eye on the level of their mugs, trying to gauge how long it would be until it would take effect.

Slowly but surely, the girls dropped to
