"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Jiwoo Unnie, we are going shopping! Wake up!" a loud voice exclaimed.
The loud voice brought irritation within Lee Soohyun, and letting out a groan, she clutched tightly on to the blanket. Diving further into it, she hoped that she will be saved from the noise.
At that moment, Soohyun felt the blanket being ripped off of her, causing sudden coldness to hit her. For the cold weather made her feel pleased, she did not know what to think of that. It made her fall more into sleep.
Staring at the sleeping girl, Hw.a.n.g Miyeon let out a sigh and folded her arms over her chest. Whether or not Soohyun preferred it, she was determined to get the girl off of the bed.
With that thought in Miyeon"s mind, she extended her hand towards the sleeping girl, and touching her ear, Miyeon softly pulled it back.
A wince left Soohyun"s mouth as she opened her eyes. The pain going through her ear was excruciating, and feeling as if her ear was about to get ripped off, Soohyun instantly slapped away the hand that held on to it.
While an annoyed expression showed on Soohyun"s face, she sat up on the bed, and leaning against the headboard, a loud yawn left her mouth.
Creases formed between both of her eyebrows while she turned to look at the other way, ready to yell at the person who disturbed her much needed nap.
From her blurry sight, Soohyun could see that Miyeon was standing before her and voiced out, "Are you Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo? Was not there a better option to wake me up?"
Hw.a.n.g Miyeon or not— being woken up in such a way immediately made Soohyun have a bad mood. Even now her ear ached.
It appeared that Soohyun"s words seemed to have little to no effect on her for Miyeon was still in her gleeful mood and excitedly vocalised, "Get up, Jiwoo Unnie! We have to really go shopping!"
A groan left Soohyun"s mouth, and she questioned, "What"s with shopping all of a sudden? Is there something special?"
Nodding her head, Miyeon said, "Yup! A royal ball is coming up, and you need to be presentable for that! Ah! I am so excited! There is a new collection of gowns for this years, and we have to hurry up or else all the beautiful ones will be taken away. I definitely can"t afford to look like a joke!"
Her enthusiasm erased off Soohyun"s annoyed mood, and a small smile formed on her face. Glancing at the clock on the wall, she noticed that it was almost midnight.
Then, turning to look at Miyeon, she wondered on whether or not the girl before her was joking. How could they go shopping when the clock is about to hit twelve at the night?
"Are you sleepwalking, Miyeon? Did you even watch the time outside? Who will be opening up their shops for you at this time of the day?" Soohyun voiced out.
"No, now is the best time. The materials just came over earlier in the evening, and it would be for the best if we go over at this moment. Due to how frightening it is outside, those daughters of the aristocrats would not be out at this time," Miyeon said, "We can get all the top quality materials."
Those words of hers caused Soohyun to let out a chuckle, and she vocalised, "If they are in danger, doesn"t that mean we are in danger as well. Go to sleep now. We can search for clothing tomorrow, Miyeon. It is just a ball."
Being dressed better than others was not something Soohyun preferred, and since there was still some amount of sleep left in her eyes, she wanted to rest on top of the soft bed.
Seeing that Minhyun had not returned when it was this late at night, Soohyun wondered about where he could be.
"Ais.h.!.+ Jiwoo Unnie, you have nothing to be afraid of! I will be there to protect you! I might not look like it, but I am really strong! Now, don"t be such a killjoy and boring person like those aristocrats!" Miyeon beamed.
Miyeon"s excitement was something Soohyun found contagious. Unable to disagree and put down the spirits of the girl before her, she stood up on the floor.
Extending her hand towards Miyeon, Soohyun pulled her into a tight hug and spoke out, "Since such a cute girl is asking me out, how can I reject it? What about your Minhyun Oppa though? Did he give you permission?"
Soohyun rubbed her cheeks against Miyeon"s, finding them to be squishy. If it was not for the fact that there was quite a lot of heat produced with Soohyun being this close to her, Miyeon did not hate this action.
"Don"t worry about that, Unnie! Convincing Minhyun Oppa is not a difficult task for me. He agreed with the condition that we will be taking along some guards with us.
Ah! Although I don"t like the thought of myself being surrounded by guards, I suppose this is what we have to do for shopping," Miyeon said, "Now, Unnie, get dressed quickly, and dress beautifully. The owner of the shop likes beautiful woman."
"And I thought that I looked beautiful without dressing up. That"s a disappointment," Soohyun stated as a sigh left her mouth.
While she pulled away from the hug, Miyeon vocalised, "Well, Unnie, you are beautiful, but if you want the owner to make you a better dress, you need to look more beautiful."
Those words of Miyeon caused Soohyun to laugh and say, "Alright then, I will get dressed quickly and beautifully. I wonder how you are not sleepy at this time of the day!"
"How can I be sleepy when I have this to go to? Unnie, do you even know how important the dress selection? You have to brag off to everyone about how your dress is better than everyone"s, and your dress needs to be absolutely worthy for that," Miyeon said.
