Knock Knock
I wait. Theres nothing but silence.
Knock knock

Inhaling deeply one last time, I slowly open the door and enter. Sun light is flooding the room. On his bed Wonho is sitting rubbing his eyes, his messy hair reminding me of a hedgehog. His gaze meets mine and I nervously smile.
"Good Morning, sleepy head! Or should I say good noon?"

"Morning" Wonho mumbles. "Sh*t, I feel like my head is gonna burst." He says, aggressively massaging his temples. 

"Oh Jooheon got some aspirin this morning, why don't you take one?"

Wonho nods and stands up, losing his balance. I quickly grab his arm and support him. "You drank so much yesterday hyung. What were you thinking. We have to hurry to a shoot in half an hour."

"I don't know. I'm regretting it." He sighs.

"By the way, about yesterday. Uhm- I... I wanted to ask if it's true?"

Wonho raises his head and looks at me. I can't really read his expression. Is it surprise? No, it looks like... confusion.

"What do you mean?"he raises an eyebrow. "I'm sorry but I really don't remember anything that happened yesterday. Did I say anything dumb?"

My heart sinks instantly and I can't help but be disappointed "Oh, I see. Then it doesn't matter. It wasn't a big deal anyway."

I turn around trying to hide the disappointed expression in my face. I almost made a fool out of myself. "You should really hurry, we don't have much time left." is the last thing I say before quickly leaving the room.

What was I even hoping for?

~~
The next few days I try to focus on my work instead of wasting any time on any daydreaming. The awkwardness between Wonho and I, coming mostly from my side, quickly disappeared as well. Instead we did a lot of self defense training together. Forgetting about the incident just like he did might be the best option anyway.

And just like that the last week in our old dorm passes by. A little sad yet excited, we leave it behind.

A day after moving in there are still many boxes of items laying around in our rooms, at least everyone has their own one.

Now that I finally have some more space on my walls I can put up photos and my old but gold shinee posters. I smile to myself, remembering the times Hoshi and I used to fangirl over them together.

I pack out most of my stuff and organize my room as best as I can for now.
A few hours later, all of us are tired from cleaning up. Kihyun, Shownu, Jooheon and I are sitting around on the sofa in the living room.
"Man this living room is so big compared to our old one. I still can't get used to it." Shownu says.

"In general this whole dorm feels like a football field." Kihyun agrees, so do I and Jooheon by nodding.

"Moving is really exhausting though and I'm so hungry." Jooheon, who's resting his head on my shoulder now, whines.

"Aw maybe we should order something. Or wait even better! How about going for Korean barbecue." I excitedly suggest.

"That's a good idea Hyejin." Shownu smiles, probably thinking already about all the food he'd going to order. Jooheon jumps up excitedly, no more sign of exhaustion "I'll go and tell the others."
