After the meal, Da-in played with Sol, sticking stickers and then putting her to bed. Exhausted, Da-in fell asleep as well. The two nights in a strange house, entangled in Seojun’s embrace every night, had taken a toll on her body and mind.63d9ddec3ecaf070
Eunjeong covered the sleeping Da-in with a thin blanket. Both of them were asleep in Sol’s room. accef968f89a0ad1
