1. "I am."
2. "I asked the cook to set an extra plate for you."
3. "You must be hungry."
1. "After your 2 hours rail journey to get here."
2. "Oh..huh, thank you."
3. "My pleasure."
1. I fill jiyeon in on the past months, about the new projects our company wants to work on.
2. My mouth is saying the words, but my attention certainly is wandering elsewhere from this morning.
3. I'm trying to wrap around the fact that she showed up here after all.
4. And I'm happy for that.
5. Both women watch me and listen...
1. Aoi interjecting with questions every now and then...
2. But jiyeon remains in silence.
3. I guess aoi's presence has thrown her off.
4. There is still a lot she wants to know.
5. "So..I'm sorry to interrupt..."
1. Jiyeon interrupts suddenly.
2. "What's the relationship between you two?"
3. I'm a bit surprised that she is so straightforward..
4. "I'm just curious."
1. "Aoi was my best friend growing up."
2. "Yes. We were pretty much inseparable, until that day."
3. "What happened that day?"
4. Jiyeon asks, not knowing the minefield she's walking into.
1. My eyes lock on aoi's and her cheeks heat.
2. I can tell she's remembering our first and only "Sexual encounter".
3. That night with aoi also reminds me of my first night with jiyeon.
4. I still worry that I'd been too rough with her.
1. The way her body trembled that day. I feel sick just thinking about it.
2. If I had the chance to redo things today, I'd touch her so well, she'd never want to leave.
3. Christ, did my brain take a sick day too?
4. Jiyeon is not here to fuck. I repeat the mantra in my head.
5. "I need to lock it up."
6. "What..?"
7. "My family moved."
1. "Uh? Oh..."
2. "What about you jiyeon?"
3. "I mean kir didn't tell me much about you."
4. Where is she getting at?
5. "Are you girls"
1. "GOOD FRIENDS OR WHAT?"
2. "KIR AND I ARE MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS OKAY?"
