The House

Chapter 5

The next thing I knew, my eyes opened to the off-white color of a hotel room ceiling, a blue hue danced around the room from the sunlit drapes. I blinked my eyes a couple times attempting to remove the floating blurs obstructing my sight and laid in complete silence until I moved my hand up to rub my eyes but I couldn't... I felt the tightly wrapping blankets coiled around my body like a snake, almost suffocating me. My pounding headache growing by the seconds, I began struggling and clawing out, eventually loosening the knots and finding my way out of the satin white threads.

I stood up, holding the bedside table as I wobbled on my feet, the unruly red and grey carpet beading through my toes. I looked around at the simply designed room, 'Where am I' I spoke into the silence, as I rubbed my temples trying to ease the tension.
I walked past the wooden table and white finely cleaned beds to open up the dark blue drapes, exposing myself to the blazing sun.

Instantly regretting my decision as I covered my eyes from the burning sun. I walked to the bathroom. I yawned, looking at the small matte white square tiles. I palmed both sides of the sink and took a second to cool down. In my head I could hear my heartbeat pounding. I turned on the tap and splashed the freezing water onto my face, immediately waking up, I dried my face and looked into the mirror noticing clear dryness on my nose, "I need some lotion." I began walking back until it dawned on me and I took a double take, 'This isn't my sweater'

Dread took over and I felt myself go cold. I ran my fingers through the soft woolen material, still shocked of its existence when a clicking sound came from the door and on instinct I hid in the bathtub quickly pulling the curtain to hide me.

"Chaeyoung?" A voice called out, it was muffled and distant but I know that voice

"Chaeyoung?" This time the bathroom door opened and I stiffened, trying my best to control my heartbeat, I could hear the shallow footsteps walking in my direction and before I knew it the curtains were yanked aside and I came face to face with Momo. I felt my nerves calm at a familiar face and I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"Momo!" I hoped out of the tub and hugged her before quickly coming back to reality and removing myself. I didn't know Momo well enough and she was a big artist that I was working for, hugging her out of the blue in a private room was completely unprofessional. 'Wait, did I do anything with Momo?!' I smacked my head, closing my eyes.

"Hey you good?" She put her hand on my shoulder and I quickly moved away.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember anything from last night where are we? Um did we?" I trailed off walking back into the bedroom.

"Oh dude, calm down we're at the hotel near the restaurant, everyone got pretty wasted and we couldn't drive home so we stayed here, don't worry the company paid for it... You were pretty wild." Momo said fixing up the bed.

I sat on the bed biting my nails, a bad habit. "Wild?" I looked up at her, worried.

"Yeah, you were jumping and dancing on the bed, going on and on about some Liam guy I think? Anyways, we all had enough around the time when you were so hot you started stripping out of your clothes,"

My eyes widened and Momo snickered at my expression in between her story,

"Yeah I know, it was then that Mina wrestled you onto the bed and tucked you in."

"So that's why I was wrapped up when I woke up...Mina?" I muttered

"Yep, that's her sweater you're wearing too."

I looked down at the soft purple material and nodded.

"Where's Tzuyu?"

"Oh, she's one floor down in room 206," Momo spoke starting the coffee machine on the table,
