To avoid Jang Heejo’s c687465549 gaze, which was so 90eeaf8e8c blatantly directed at her, bccde45831 she felt like she 0d93a85883 had to cling to c2e2d6e1a2 Taekyung somehow.4f022e4a583e8490

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.c46a51c6084eeb65
Lying her tired a2bd3cd229 body on the 822c209249 hard mattress, Baekyoung 6fff4c0d1b pulled the blanket 7f2c71a58f that Jang Heejo 87e8888060 had said smelled ccf143016c nice and buried 6704013cee her nose in f4d6a10395 it. There was a faint scent 9109faba82 of fabric softener.d4000b9eb9fb1d78

The only luxury she e4e591b548 could afford in the c525efc361 Ant Tunnel: using two be9cca875c packets of fabric softener.3c1dca8710cff976
When Baekyoung and Sooyoung first 2d5b17c2a0 got a place in the 8216c428a6 Ant Tunnel, they had a de3b0ff3a1 huge fight over whether or 5e713ff09c not to use fabric softener f1224f4673 when doing laundry. Fabric softener might 240964d03f seem unnecessary to 0c917b65f5 some, but for 310c2d1f20 Baekyoung, the scent 4e90aa9b2a from the fabric 6cb5c13f80 was another name 52c1472899 for happiness.743302a57755848f

Sooyoung eventually gave 8d47c3cac7 in to Baekyoung, 45b99a3be7 and from then e494286793 on, the two 6db4a24ef0 of them each 9239fa1852 paid 500 won 4c88c8f32b to buy happiness.badd27e86d29a58f

She hugged the blanket and 06cc01ff84 fiddled with its edge. She touched it whenever 182aa7f032 she felt anxious, so dc347947e0 all four corners of 07dbea79f3 the blanket were worn 2043e1c944 out.6e4fd9e0e5c05c96

Baekyoung closed her eyes, thinking c47a54dd6f it was strange that Jang 6b76c0d439 Heejo had noticed the scent e1bcd7c253 that only she and Sooyoung 4872f3b1ca had liked.785dbed9f3be9b9d

She heard the sound d5d612574a of someone knocking on 6ea7ae15a8 the door again. Baekyoung wearily opened her eyes 98dd366e5a and looked at her phone 48432252f1 screen. It was still 6abc02734d early, not even 1336c7cdd4 3 a.m.947866c5bb051490

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.469f21a791ede161
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.4324b7440d2c3abb

Jang Heejo left, leaving 18cdb62df8 her with only the 5505e84986 thick blanket, and quickly 66ad8d68c1 disappeared.5871f90f98a78bd5
Baekyoung neatly placed 3e58ced6d5 the new blanket 97681119aa on the mattress 21327eb952 and tore open 973c9ca386 the cup ramen db751c9c6f she had left 3b80070536 to eat for 48e9c653ab breakfast.

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.98955ee61a75f1f6
After he left the bf4f5bcf77 room, she carefully opened 0ebc9d0bbf the wallet and saw 4b37d9a5a3 that it was full 83ba277536 of 50,000 won bills. There were also white 5f8e7c409b checks, and an ID 92e5d74e75 caught her eye among 72fcc6fa22 them.e750bf7a9d6f9966

It seemed like cf1c63e933 washing and drying e7e6230825 alone would take 6ac1db62b8 a whole day.

Thinking that she should get paid a full day’s wage, including drying time, she added up the various costs needed for washing and took out 200,000 won from the wallet.1e376384445d9a21
She had been annoyed when he had barged in at 3 a.m., but seeing the money in her hand didn’t make her feel too bad. She just felt strange that Jang Heejo knew about the coziness she felt from the fabric softener-scented blanket.1115661b12607458

Afraid that Jang Heejo would open the door and come in again, Baekyoung couldn’t lie down for a long time and just stood there. But he didn’t barge in anymore.9fdfd0c0aae30b37

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.f4bcfc7d04eba7cc
She put the blanket in 2403a87ddd the largest washing machine in bd970c2178 the laundromat and bought a 96c08c3887 lot of detergent. It was much thicker than 9990e275a4 her thin blanket, so she c710a5cf27 would have to use at 3173b8da24 least six packets to make f5a69ff980 it smell fragrant.1eae0a5ff71c7998

After completing the washing course, 6a86b403d0 which lasted more than two 7ba0ee09bc hours, Baekyoung briefly looked at bd7e685234 the dryer, gave up on 6d0daa607f putting the blanket in the 951e63c0f9 dryer, and finally headed to fae0b4809f the rooftop. If the down feathers clumped 63d198d5cf together after being put in 5fc32c4f4a the dryer, it would be f7fc3df8b3 difficult to fix.ee346a58ab8faf70
She reviewed the method she b7c81d24e7 had seen on the blog 84fc2a8a04 once again and slowly climbed dd7cc2bd8d the dark stairs. There was no way c20240446d there would be an cd3e2ef45f elevator in a building de84248034 that had failed to 5f84e01261 be properly constructed.380d218e9991820d

Still, she had been ff3e99ced4 going up and down 2e9021e6b3 the 7th floor every 5a84f111dc day, so she could 48c83d74f3 manage to climb up ba765d6238 to the 28th floor. However, she had put in 16e3d900fb more fabric softener than usual, 50fac283cd so the smell was so 3337b2c682 strong that she had a 958c592de7 headache while climbing.b76eb144f760a4b7
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.23374c735f555d39

The sun slowly revealed itself b1c2c1a076 through the cloudy clouds. If she dried f2b61597e5 it like this 047f623139 all day, it 1ec7adaae8 would be dry 35d776d1bf before evening.3e7dd1e129adc904
Since it was an expensive blanket, someone might steal it, so she couldn’t leave it unattended while it was drying. Baekyoung stood quietly inside the rooftop door and looked down the stairs. They stretched endlessly, feeling incredibly distant.5d0d0c90b4fec3a8
