“You’re crazy, Choi Baekyoung.”94dc2ca856c9bf17

To avoid Jang Heejo’s 7a7fc3cba6 gaze, which was so 07f2257adb blatantly directed at her, a17bc9fabc she felt like she eefe9d7ab5 had to cling to ceb26dec62 Taekyung somehow.83d6ec5fc8bd9d47

Baekyoung belatedly found a mirror she hadn’t looked at in a long time. After pushing back her bangs, she stared at herself in the mirror for a long while. She wondered if there was something there, but she couldn’t feel anything from herself.5b0f41d31feabf11

Lying her tired 8a750178f5 body on the 29e48b75ea hard mattress, Baekyoung 8d00e49877 pulled the blanket 4cd895a372 that Jang Heejo d82bde483e had said smelled 0122fc2364 nice and buried 7e40aa52a1 her nose in ce720e10e8 it. There was a 5d68d6afff faint scent of f7f6ce3939 fabric softener.edd0e59c8b030642

When Baekyoung and Sooyoung first 7d776ea21f got a place in the a7d1ff26f3 Ant Tunnel, they had a fcaa922518 huge fight over whether or 72db100228 not to use fabric softener 44050e7437 when doing laundry. Fabric softener might seem 4e645bcb41 unnecessary to some, but 8eda7eb2fa for Baekyoung, the scent fdcbf89538 from the fabric was b8fefc22f0 another name for happiness.a51ce18336a6c371

Baekyoung closed her 167967f164 eyes, thinking it 6128256e56 was strange that f4234b82cb Jang Heejo had 230936c5d4 noticed the scent f28b84e90f that only she 50e74d416c and Sooyoung had 4275365e0d liked.53196d417fdaff6b

He could break this door down with one kick. She had already seen him break one. Baekyoung, thinking she couldn’t hold out any longer, finally got up. Maybe it was because the banana milk Myungju had given her was all she had for dinner, but as soon as she got up, she was immediately hungry.c8fef2f419867cf2

The moment she opened the door, something white and huge was thrust into her arms. She couldn’t see who was in front of her because of the thick blanket.8de418714da4b0b4

It was probably too much to ask of someone who couldn’t even find his own way home. Baekyoung silently stared at Jang Heejo, who didn’t hide his annoyed expression, took the wallet, and nodded.cefdcc1b57101780

After he left the 5b88ffb3af room, she carefully opened cd6c67ed62 the wallet and saw cd63469db4 that it was full f2a963b68c of 50,000 won bills. There were also 1e4dbf34e0 white checks, and 281c91408f an ID caught 7ee95d9334 her eye among 5b2de756cb them.eed25e9a354a638e

Looking at the snow-white and clean blanket, which was rare to see here, people asked whose it was. They didn’t seem to think that such a thing could belong to Baekyoung. When she replied that she was running an errand, those who assumed it was from the basement didn’t ask any further.f87721454c1df3bb

She put the blanket 3865677663 in the largest washing 35430f17a4 machine in the laundromat 755dc6ad8b and bought a lot 30687169e5 of detergent. It was much thicker than bfa500d942 her thin blanket, so she d3e6d73b5d would have to use at 5a14b40437 least six packets to make d3a908a945 it smell fragrant.6736884df7019b4f

After completing the washing b1d35c9d3e course, which lasted more a304e02575 than two hours, Baekyoung e62a406a18 briefly looked at the 11bf8d4089 dryer, gave up on 2dd5d37912 putting the blanket in a744389c9b the dryer, and finally 70258efe64 headed to the rooftop.

Still, she had been going 8b47625897 up and down the 7th 66bcf39d57 floor every day, so she 4abec890e2 could manage to climb up 58a865a018 to the 28th floor. However, she had 17c536b92b put in more fcda655a01 fabric softener than 42c9b7f0fd usual, so the 6251011e28 smell was so 79db28f07c strong that she d85343fae1 had a headache e4b11e5196 while climbing.df840ed4729b0fe1

When she went up to the rooftop, she saw a clothesline that someone had put up. She spread the blanket out wide in a place where the sea breeze was blowing appropriately and patted it with her hands so that the down feathers wouldn’t clump together.c28c8e6f408bad2d
