3rd Person's POV

The moment Chaeyeon wakes up, she repeatedly taps the empty space beside her to search for the figure that was once engulfed in her embrace. She moans in disappointment once she realizes that it was no longer there.

After stretching her legs and arms, she quickly sits up and reaches for her phone that was resting on the nightstand to see if they had any schedule for the day.

'Oneiric theater rehearsals', the reminder from her phone reads.

She groans in annoyance and plops down on her bed for the second time, not really feeling motivated to do anything productive. Suddenly, the door swings open and a jolly lass marches in with a tray of breakfast that immediately seduced the younger.

"Good morning, Chae." Sakura greets, cautiously bringing the tray over to her roommate.

"Yaaaa," Chaeyeon whines. She always seem to get flustered whenever the members do something nice for her. "You didn't have to."

"You have no choice." The Japanese retorts with a scoff. "I've already done it." She lowers her head and places a kiss on Chaeyeon's forehead as a way of telling her to start eating.

"Thank you so much."

"Anything for you." The short haired one proudly replies then she walks off to get the stuff she needs for showering. "You eat well okay? I'll go shower now. We have rehearsals today."

"Okay." Chaeyeon quietly answers as she starts munching on the food that the former had prepared.

Before Sakura exits the room, she steals a glance at Chaeyeon with loving eyes and a dreamy sigh escapes her lips.

How can she be so cute?

Then when she looks away from her, she gets greeted by a bunch of teasing smiles and looks from the other members. Among them, two unusual ones stood out the most.

"Ya..." Sakura trails off in realization. "Why are Yena and Yujin here in our dorm?" She interrogates, referring to the two persons who belong to the other dorm. They were shamelessly stealing some of the toasts that the eldest had prepared for her dongsaengs.

"Are we not allowed to be here? I remember when Chaeyeon told us to come here and she'll give us food."

"Yeah, our loaves of bread are expired already."

"Oh poor you." Hiichan genuinely coos. I mean, that girl gets so serious when we talk about bread.

"So what exactly do you guys eat there?" Wonyoung asks the two in curiosity.

"I don't know. Ramen, I guess?" Yena answers with a shrug.

"No way, please don't tell me you ate those ramen noodles in the cupboard?" Yujin replies.

"What? I did. A girl's gotta eat you know."

"Unnie, those were expired."

"Ah shit are you serious???"

"Oh dear." Sakura mumbles, shaking her head at them while suppressing a laugh.

Chaeyeon's POV

"You're not supposed to be watching me." I complain, frowning at the girls who were seated around the dance practice room.

"What? We're your fans!" Yuri defends and Nako nods along.

I just finished practicing my routine when I notice that the other girls were here with me. They're not supposed to be though. They're supposed to be practicing their own routines for our online concert.

"Go practice." I instruct them nicely, but they didn't listen.

"Ya, we'd rather watch you dance all day, unnie." Wonyoung reasons out.

The maknaes were mostly here and so I shoot them a stern look but they only cheekily grin at me.

Aish. These maknaes.

When I was about to reach for a water bottle from my bag, the door opens and someone literally barges into the room. Suddenly, Saku-chan nears me with two bottles of water.

"Don't drink that. These ones are better. They're cold." She says, handing them out to me.

I stare at the other members who were present and much to my surprise, they were watching us. Their eyes appear to be playful and proud.

"Uh thank you, Saku-chan." I proceed to tell her, not minding the stares of the rest.

"How was practice? Eunbi unnie and I are just taking a break so I made sure to come here and check on you." She unconsciously rambles (which I found cute by the way) then she pats my back. "Omo..."

"What?"

"Your back is wet with sweat, Chaeyeon." She frowns, looking around for something.

"It's fine. We just finished prac---"

She clicks her tongue, steals a towel from my bag, and uses it to wipe my back.

"Yujin-ah, can you wipe my back too?" I hear Yena say from the other side of the room, making me playfully roll my eyes at them.

"Ew no. Wipe your own." The younger retorts.

"Kkura! Come on, we have to practice again!" Eunbi unnie calls out as she peeks through the door. When she sees the other members around, she points a finger at them. "You're all done rehearsing?"

"Yup." Chaewon proudly answers.

"Hmm lucky." Unnie remarks. "Come on Kkura."

"Yeah, I'll be there." The girl near me assures. After finishing wiping my back, she wipes my forehead, neck, and collar too.

"Saku-chan, you know I can manage, right?" I tell her, my tone sounded a bit amused.

"No," she replies back almost immediately. "I've noticed in our past dance rehearsals that you never wipe your sweat away."

"I do!!"

"No, starting from our debut up to now, you never do."

Wait. She noticed that?

"I mean, not that I was watching you all the time but..." she tries to reason out but her cheeks suddenly become tinted with red. When I place my palm on one of them, the slightly faded red becomes more evident and it made me chuckle ever so slightly.

"Are you blushing?"

"N-no." She stammers right before scratching the back of her head. "I should probably go. Unnie's waiting for me."

"Yeah, you should." I agree, giving her hand a tight squeeze before letting her walk off. "Do good, okay?"

"I will." She says with a nod then out the door she goes.

"Wow, it's about time." Yena remarks once she sees that the Japanese was no longer in sight.

I then prepare myself for all the questions and teasing that'll probably come in 3... 2... 1...

"Omo! Unnie, what's going on between you two?" That was Yujin.

"Ya!!! I was right all along. I knew you two should've dated from the very start." And that was Chaewon.

And I simply laugh at them, feeling my heart race a bit quicker than it usually does after all those things Saku-chan had done for me today.

Hmm, I should probably do the same for her too.
