barefoot, sunah tiptoed through the entryway, turning as she hit the main room to drop her purse and phone on the kitchen counter (she’d deal with those later as well). she yawned as she turned on herself, ready to retreat to her room.

“i- you’re up early. i didn’t want to wake you up. i’m sorry” she muttered, frozen in place, eyes avoiding his- instinctively going to the door to her room. fight or flight instinct kicking in, consciousness telling her to pick the latter.
