"I'll grab us some grub," Merritt said and left the bedroom.
At that moment, Christine was too panicked to ponder the situation. She glanced at the small square box on the nightstand, it was opened. Then her gaze shifted to the trash can - it had been used. But she couldn't be entirely sure.
Quickly, she got up, took a shower, dressed, grabbed her phone, and hurried out the door. She remembered passing a pharmacy the day before while out having fun.
But as she opened the door, the door across the hall opened too.
"Don't worry, Dai, I won't spill the beans..."
There stood Nelly, her eyes red from crying, wearing only a bathrobe, and Dailey, his clothes in disarray, with a stern face.
A few minutes earlier...
Dailey woke up, hadn't even opened his eyes, and tried to kiss the person next to him. But something smelled off. Jasmine scent - Christine would never wear such a subtle fragrance. She always wore the bold scent of roses. Last night, they had both used the hotel's shower gel.
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. Long black hair beside him - it wasn't Christine. He immediately started looking for his clothes, realizing this was his room, not the one where he and Christine had been together. But his memory was fragmented.
"Umm..."
Nelly slowly woke up, and Dailey quickly covered her entirely with the blanket, even her head.
He hastily dressed himself from his suitcase.
Nelly peeked out from the blanket, her eyes teary, looking at him.
Dailey, even though it was his first time straying, knew exactly with whom he had been.
"Why are you in my room?"
Nelly bit her lip, a tear rolling down her cheek, her voice hoarse as if from too much activity, "Dai, I understand. You were drunk last night, upset about Christine and her boyfriend being so close, so you made a mistake."
"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."
She said, getting out of bed.
Dailey turned away.
Nelly picked up her torn clothes

Dailey looked at the torn pieces of clothing on the floor and followed her out. "Wait."
The door opened, and he locked eyes with Christine from across the hall.
Both were puzzled.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
How could everything get so complicated overnight?

Nelly dropped her pitiful facade and asked Merritt, "You didn't blab, did you?"
During the elevator ride, Dailey attempted to speak several times but couldn't find the words.
Christine watched the red numbers on the elevator panel decrease, remaining silent.
Dailey followed her all the way to the pharmacy.
"Are... are you feeling okay?"
Christine shook her head and asked the clerk for emergency contraception.
Dailey's expression hardened with coldness.
"I took precautions last night."
Christine nodded, bought some water, swallowed the pill, and asked, "Do you remember what happened after?" Dailey fell silent.
He turned back to the pharmacy, bought the same medication, and left.
