**after fetching Mina at the airport they went to eat first before heading to the hotel. While at a restaurant.
Chaeyoung: Mina why don't you just stay at my place instead of renting a hotel room for 3 weeks. That's just impractical. I have an extra room.
Mina: are you sure? I don't want to disturb you
Nayeon: trust me. She'll love it when you're there.
Chaeyoung: what Nayeon means is that. It would be better if I have someone with me during the holidays.
Mina: aren't you coming home for the holidays?
Nayeon: it's been years since she visited her parents
Mina: why?
Chaeyoung: long story short. They don't approve my lifestyle. So after having a regular job. I rented my own apartment.
**chaeyoung's phone rang
Nayeon: it that Tzuyu?
Chaeyoung: nope. It's work. Excuse me i have to take this. Hello.
Mina: who is Tzuyu?
Nayeon: oh uhm.
Mina: girlfriend?
Nayeon: I don't know actually. It's kinda complicated. You should just ask Chaeyoung.
**Chaeyoung came back to the table
Chaeyoung: sorry about that.
Mina: is everything ok?
Chaeyoung: yeah. I just have to checkout something at the office tomorrow. Will you be ok alone at the apartment tomorrow?
Mina: yeah of course
Chaeyoung: we'll just go to lotte after the holiday
Mina: yeah no worries. Chaeyoung?
Chaeyoung: yeah.
Mina: who is Tzuyu?
**Chaeyoung look over to Nayeon. 😒
Nayeon: i think Jeongyeon is calling me. Excuse me.
**Nayeon took the call and left Chaeyoung to answer
Chaeyoung: uhm. Tzuyu is a friend.
Mina: just a friend?
Chaeyoung: uhm we met in Bangkok and from then we became close.
Mina: friends with benefits?
Chaeyoung: let's just say we don't like labels.
Mina: ok. I got it
Nayeon: are you girls done eating. Jeongyeon need me at the studio.
Chaeyoung: yeah we're done. Let's go?
Mina: yeah.
**as Chaeyoung and Mina reached Chaeyoung's place. A dog greeted them upon entry.
Mina: woah you have a dog
Chaeyoung: yeah this is Ray.
Mina: hi Ray
**the dog starts licking Mina's hand. As if he knows who is Mina in Chaeyoung's life.
Chaeyoung: this is your room. If you need anything. I'm just next door. Anyways what do you like for dinner?
Mina: why? Are you going to cook?
Chaeyoung: more like delivery 😂
Mina: what's in your fridge. Maybe I can cook something.
**Chaeyoung whispers "wifey"
Mina: huh?
Chaeyoung: nothing.
**Mina cooked ramyeon and fried chicken for their dinner while Ray watches her.

Chaeyoung: you wanna drink beer? Soju?
Mina: beer is fine for me. But don't you have work tomorrow
Chaeyoung: it's Saturday so I don't need to be there early. It's ok
**Mina and Chaeyoung ate ramyeon, chicken and beer for dinner and a little bit of soju, more like 2 bottles of soju. The next day Chaeyoung was a bit hungover from last night's event but she still went to work.
Chaeyoung: are you sure you're ok here alone?
Mina: yeah.
Chaeyoung: you can just go to Nayeon's place if you get bored.
Mina: I'm fine. Ray is here to keep me company. Go!
Chaeyoung: ok I'm going now. Bye hon 😜 😂 😂
**while Chaeyoung is at work. Mina tried to look around Chaeyoung's apartment. She saw lots of travel photos from Bangkok. Then she saw a photo of a beautiful girl next to Chaeyoung.
Mina: is this Tzuyu? She's pretty.
**meanwhile Chaeyoung is busy at the firm because a client wants a new design and demanded a revision  asap.
Chaeyoung: this is insane. I just finished that project and they want to revise the whole thing like it's that simple
**Chaeyoung was so busy at the firm that she forgot it's already past 9pm. Mina is now calling her.
Chaeyoung: hello
Mina: hey are you coming home for dinner? Nayeon is here. She brought us groceries.
Chaeyoung: hey. Sorry. What time is it?
Mina: it's past 9
Chaeyoung: oh ok. I'll be there like 15mins
**But 15mins went by and Chaeyoung is still at the firm. She went home at around midnight. She saw food set up at the table and Mina sleeping on the sofa. Teary eyed Chaeyoung kneel down beside Mina and whisper "I'm sorry if I'm doing it again, I promise after this project I'll make it up to you. I've missed you so much baby".

 I've missed you so much baby"
