10th June 2020

"Guys, let get ready to leave." The manager's voice went through one ear and came out the other as my sleepy mind pushed everything aside for more sleep.

...

"Let's wake up guys~" The same voice spoke in a lighter tone before the scuffs of the feet left through the door allowing me to go back to dreaming.

...

"Nao, wake up." My body shook as I tried to process the Japanese in my mind after hearing Korean for so long. I grunt at the voice feeling mad for being woken up but nevertheless opened my eyes to see Haruto in his checkered pyjamas and glasses.

"I'm awake." I responded closing my eyes again and letting my head hit the pillow. What woke me up though was my phone ringing and a familiar caller ID popping up on the screen ~JiChu~

*accept*

"Yeah." My voice was groggy and my eyes were still closed.

"Idiot, it's a video call." Unfazed I move it from my ear to in front of my face, eyes closed as I tried to block out the light coming from the window next to me, another disadvantage to my bed.

"How are you fitting in?" My eyes opened and I sat up in my bed running my hands through my hair and looking around the room to which Haruto was gone and there was now only Junkyu who was dressed but laying in his bed.

"Fine. I still don't know if they believe me."

I decided this was the best time to get ready as most were already dressed, I take a while to get up but I can get ready in record time.

"Wow, you can actually understand me, even though Japanese is your first language you can never speak it in the morning."

"Haruto... Haruto woke me up." I replied yawning, walking out of the room and towards the bathroom dragging my feet on the floor.

...

Walking out of the bathroom I felt a lot more awake from the shower and now being fully dressed. I got another call from one of my friends back in Japan and I suddenly felt popular. ~Hina~

*accept*

"Wow, you're awake." She said making a shocked face as she had never seen me before this early in the morning.

"Yeah, I have a job now." I laughed walking into the kitchen to grab a breakfast bar to eat. I walked past the guys that were preoccupied with a game on the tv.

"They're not mean to you, right? If they are I'll fly over to beat them up."

Just thinking about it made me laugh she wasn't the strongest person in the world and I could imagine her scrawny arms braking whilst trying to punch someone.

Behind my phone, I could see Jaehyuk look at me with furrowed eyebrows but I just brushed it off I'm pretty sure only Haruto spoke Japanese maybe he was curious.

"She's fine. She has me to wake up to." Haruto said suddenly materialising next to me looking into the phone screen.

I pushed him away before he could say anything else and waved goodbye before ending the call.

"You're so annoying."

"Wow already at the name-calling." He teased smirking at me.

Before I could push him again our manager came in and explain what our day would be like for our first workday, only to remind me I still have half of the group to meet.
