Chaewon frowned at the scene before her. It was still early for her, around 5pm, and she was waiting for someone to come get her so she could leave. But that someone was too busy messing with their fellow bandmates, hooting and laughing every time she landed a kiss on the cheek.
Haseul was a very affectionate person, and if she even sensed something was off, she would go into overprotective mode. Determined to get a smile out of you. It was one of the many things that Chaewon liked about her.
Besides the obvious of her enjoying the company of older women who love to spoil her. But that was besides the point. She was hungry, and was ready to go somewhere with her girlfriend.
Blowing hair out of her face, she scoffed and pulled out her phone. She was leaning against a wall in the middle of halls leading from all the rooms.
She barely even made it halfway through her private throwaway Twitter before she heard someone clear their throat. Chaewon looked up, hoping it was Haseul done playing around. But it was a very serious Hyeju.
Squinting her eyes are took in her partner in crime. Something was off. Her hair was tussled, and her shirt looked stretched.
Hyeju's eyes narrowed, daring her to make a comment. The faintest dust of red made it's way to her cheeks. "Can I get by?" She finally asked, hoping Chaewon won't draw attention to the fact that her practice room was the opposite of where she was coming from.
Of course Chaewon who rarely gets the chance to tease Hyeju took the opportunity. "Of course. Would hate for our big bad wolf to gay panic in the halls. Did Yermie do that?" She motioned to her disgruntled look.
A groan escaped Hyeju's face. "None of your business, now move."
Chaewon raised her hands and moved aside. She knew full and well that if she didn't, Hyeju would just move her physically and she wasn't in the mood to be manhandled by anyone. "That's okay I can just ask her."
"Unnie, please." It wasn't everyday that Hyeju used that term. Not with her, since they used to be dubbed soulmates after all. Their captivity was more on the platonic side.
"Okay, okay, sorry."
Hyeju brushes past in her a way that told Chaewon that she wasn't mad, just embarrassed. "She kissed me first for the record." She whispered before slipping into her room, the door clicking behind her ending that conversation.
Chaewon was happy for her, especially since she's the one who was the middle man for those two for longer than she would have looked anyway.
Lost in her own thoughts she missed the curious look shot in her direction. As well as the footsteps leading towards her. Chaewon made a sound like a yelp and a grunt when she was pulled forward into Haseul's arms.
She had half a mind to curse, but ended up sinking and melting into the familiar embrace. "You zoning out over here?" Haseul's voice had a tinge of concern.
"A little, can we go?"

Haseul being able to drive was another point that Chaewon liked a lot. She got to ride passenger side, and control the playlist. Often mixing in new songs that caught her attention, only for her girlfriend to ask who is by.
For someone in their mid twenties she sure did struggle to keep up with trends. But it was okay, Chaewon would tease her a little and then explain who was coming back and how it was usually a b-side track.
Haseul tended to her real dramatic when Chaewon brought up age. Claiming that it was her charm, to act like an old soul. Chaewon has yet to deny it sadly.
"Do you have a taste for anything specific?" Haseul asked as they sat at a familiar red light. It was the longest one of their street, which gave them plenty of time to talk.
"It's been warm recently, maybe cold noodles? Hopefully to go." Chaewon but back a smile when her hand was grabbed and Haseul placed a kiss on the back of it. "Gross."
Haseul made a sound of distaste before applying pressure on the gas. "Only you say gross to my romantic gestures." A local place was input by Chaewon and Haseul was quick to adjust. Switching lanes so she could make the sudden right turn.
It was very attractive to watch Haseul drive with ease. She's seen Jungeun drive and she's still very green behind the wheel.

Dinner was now sitting in Chaewon's lap, along with an abundance of side dishes and Haseul's favorite beer. She was staying with Chaewon tonight so she could indulge in a drink.
Once parked, the two decided to take the stairs up to her place. It was only on the second floor.
Chaewon managed to input her code and turn the handle, letting the two of them inside. Shoes were carefully kicked off and the two simply made a bee line to the kitchen to place everything down.
It was still a little messy from this morning, but not enough to fuss over. Haseul slipped behind her, pressing a kiss to her cheek before scurrying away to her bathroom.
Chaewon took the chance to clean up a little bit, since the kitchen doubled as her dining area, with stools for them to eat at the counter space.
A quick wipe down, and throwing some very ripe fruit into her fridge, hoping to save them for one more day. She grabbed two bowls and even cracked open Haseul's beer, taking a sip even though she hated bitter drinks.
She didn't understand how it could taste like this, but when Haseul kissed her later, it was always so sweet.
"Did you want to split it?" Haseul asked, coming back to the kitchen and taking a seat next to her. Hey eyes danced with curiosity and something else.
Haseul was still an enigma to Chaewon. Seemingly having a lot of knowledge of things she didn't. It was cute sometimes, other times annoying. Maybe even frustrating at worst.
"Nope."
"Good I didn't want to share it anyway."
The two bumped into each other playfully before tearing into the noodle dish. Per usual, Haseul made sure to split it as evenly as she could, even with all the sides offered, Chaewon could be picky about things.
And of course, the gesture was greatly appreciated.
