On Saturday, I went to the supermarket with Jiyeon unnie and Minsu oppa. We didn't buy much; most of it was ingredients for cooking and a few snacks. If I'd come with unnie alone, I might have looked at clothes, but I didn't buy any. I already had more than enough clothes anyway...
When we got home, Yuna contacted me again, but I was a little tired, so I phrased it as gently as I could and asked her to contact me less unless it was urgent. She seemed a little surprised at first, but fortunately accepted it as time passed.
I was a rather introverted person myself, so I needed time alone. Even if I'd been staying home the whole time, going out to have fun for several days in a row would have been exhausting. My stamina dropped by fifty every time I went out, while my maximum stamina was only one hundred, so I needed time to rest after spending a day outside.
"Jia, were you very tired today?"
"Shopping was fine, but Yuna contacted me again, and I had to phrase it gently while asking her to restrain herself..."
"You really are popular, Jia. I might get jealous, haha."
I just gave an awkward smile. I couldn't exactly say I felt like I was dying from exhaustion. Come to think of it, I'd been unusually tired lately. I also felt like I wasn't recovering from fatigue very well, and going out left me more exhausted than usual. I kept yawning, and I was sleepy...
"You were tired, weren't you? Go in and take a nap."
"But oppa came as a guest..."
"You can't be too tired to get up tomorrow, so get some sleep, even if just for a little while."...
