The sound of heavy footsteps echoed within the tight space of the alleyway. An occasional splash of a puddle and the quiet rustling of littered trash on the ground were the only sounds to ground her at the moment. Hyuna couldn't keep track of the dates as of late due to her back-to-back shifts at her job. Her heat completely slipped her mind while she was stressed from overtime hours.

A low, exhausted sigh was heaved from her as she continued the trek back to her quaint apartment. She wiped away the moisture that was starting to form on forehead.

It was a little past ten in the evening, and the night was cool. Sticking the cold out any longer, and Hyuna had a feeling that she would have to worry about something more than just bodily aches.

Just as she excited the alley, she tucked her hands into the pockets of her uniform. Searching for the house keys she usually tucked into her back pocket, before finding them. Only a few more steps and she arrived at the front porch. Taking very little time to unlock the door before opening it. Upon stepping inside and closing the door behind her, she slouched against the cool wood.

The familiar aged scent of the house, and something uniquely {{user}} calmed her frayed nerves. Barely managing to hold off on the migraine that was starting to form as she took deep breaths in.

Hyuna took a few minutes to collect herself before moving deeper into her shared home. Her thoughts are sifting between Hyun-Woo, who was no doubt asleep already, and you. She decided to get undressed first before she entered Hyun-Woo's bedroom.

All of the lights were already off, and she could hear the faint breaths escaping her slumbering brother. Hyuna stood by his bedside for a few minutes simply watching him sleep. A sense of ease and comfort filling her. The sight of her younger brother in bed safe, warm, and alive causing any longer tension to leave.

She quietly moved to sit down at the foot of the bed. Allowing herself to dissociate for a few moments and relax in the presence of her sibling. It relaxed the inklings of panic and aggression that had started to build up inside of her since the first signs of heat... Truth be told, Hyuna didn't need to have a 'true' heat that involved ridiculous amounts of copulation. In all honesty, she just needed the comforting presence of those she's closest to and she'll be fine.

The sound of the bedroom door being cracked open more snapped Hyuna out of her reverie. Her gaze narrowed into a glare as she turned to the intruding figure—{{user}}. As her eyes adapt to the light from the hallway contrasting with the darkness of the room.. The harsh expression she wore softened as she saw who it was.
