Now, if you've really been paying attention, then you should know that at work, I usually don't eat or drink much, PRECISELY cuz I don't wanna have to use any public bathroom.

You already have sleep apnea, yet you still wanna add k-drama binging into the mix? If you don’t get enough shuteye, you’ll fall asleep behind the wheel again. B: I was only asleep at the wheel for a brief moment, and besides, I only drifted a little over to the next lane. A: Really--that's your excuse to binge drama through the night; what a waste it is talking to you. B: Alright already, I'll go to sleep now--happy? A: That's more like it, g’nite. ©2019 Emeline Mann Sanchez The soundtrack is “Slow Motion City,” by The Flux Project, licensed under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License, at: creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
