roommates are supposed to close, audrey thinks. she’s never really had a roommate before (that she wasn’t related to), but she wants to be the best actual roommate she can be. but when they return that night after katie lee’s feedback on their evaluation showcase, audrey is shaken. it feels like when she gave her everything and put all her energy into preparations this month, that it’s not good enough; it’s a reminder of the insecurity that she’s not good enough, and then they’re told to work on just what katie lee sees as their biggest fault, and audrey, sore throat and all, really feels like crying.
taeyeon enters their shared bedroom in the midst of the self-doubting thoughts that cloud her, and audrey hurries to wipe her eyes and bring the book that she had been working on to a rest in front of her. “hey,” she offers a small smile at the younger, sniffing just slightly. “how are you holding up after.... that?”
