Minji pulled over her car at the side of the road then turned it off.

"Wait here." Minji pocketed her phone inside her jacket as she ducked out from her car, covering her head with her hand and opened the car trunk to get the umbrella.

Minji knocked on Hanni's window and told her to get out.

"What are you doing?" Hanni shouted against the sound of the rain.

Minji didn't answer. She carefully led Hanni to shelter under the roof.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes. You're wet. You shouldn't do that. The entrance merely a few walk, Minji-ah"

"Well you'll get soak if you don't use umbrella and you wearing heels. Besides, my immune system is awesome. I don't get cold easily." She shrugged.

"You're so stubborn, you know that?"

"You remind me that over and over again, how can I forget?" Hanni can only shake her head.

"Came to my office for a while. I'll make you tea or something."

Minji was too freezing to argue. She jiggled her umbrella and shut it. She then followed Hanni entered the building as she took off her damped jacket. Hanni's office was on third floor. Her assistant greeted them as they passed by.

Minji observed the place around her. There was brownish leather much complete with matching table's color, plants were here and there, the desk was awfully neat and the smell- the smell of this room was so Hanni.

"Hang your jacket over there. Just sit or whatever, I'll be back." Hanni left the room.

Minji laid comfortably on her back as she closed her eyes. Physically she was dead tired but her mind was surprisingly peaceful. This place made her safe somehow, the same feeling when she was at her house recently. Felt like home.

"Minji." Someone called for her.

"Minji-ah, wake up." She heavily opened her one eye.

"Wake up. You're going to be late and your tea is getting cold." Minji blinked at the voice.

"Hanni-ah? Ugh," she groaned as she sat down.

"What time is it? Did I fell asleep?"

"Yes, for half hour. It's nine twenty. Drink this." Hanni handed her the cup.

"Thanks. Why didn't you wake me?" Minji sipped her drink.

"The rain has stopped. Traffic shouldn't be that bad anymore." Hanni said. Also how could I wake you up when you looked so deep in your sleep?

"I needed that," she sighed. "Well... I better get going. What time will you be done?" She pushed herself off the couch.

"One or two p.m.? I planned to off early if today is slow."

"Call me when you're done, okay? I probably finish by 12 or so, I take a rest of the day off or I'd end up killing my patient"

"You don't have to pick me up. I can take a cab or ask Yeji or Dani to get me home"

"Nah, I drove you here, I'm taking you home myself," Minji replied like it wasn't a big deal, not aware that her statement made Hanni's heart skip a beat for some vogue reason.

Minji was about to grab her jacket when Hanni stopped her.

"Use mine, yours is wet." she gave Minji her pink coat.

"Hanni, it's pink." Minji looked a her with are-you-kidding-me look.

"It's dry and keeps you warm. Don't be stubborn, just wear it." She shoved the thick yet soft fabric to the taller woman.
