I walk over to the bread aisle while looking down at my feet. Suddenly I bump into a hard surface, only to realize it was a chest of a stranger. I look up to see a boy about my age with fluffy blonde hair.
"I'm sorry, I should've been paying attenti...
I woke up in a warm blanket. I pull it closer, and when I smell it, it smells unfamiliar. It does smell good, though. I then notice that I am not in my bed. I sit up quickly and look around. Then my eyes land on a sleeping Chan with his head against the desk. Aww, he looks so cute. I stand up and walk over to him, holding the blanket. I drape it over his sleeping body. I then look at his cute little face. His cheeks are slightly pushed out and his eyes are shut softly. His lips are poking out and are looking pink. They look so soft.
I reach my hand towards his hair. I feel like I need to touch it. I then gently place my hand on his head and stroke it. I then comb my fingers through his fluffy hair. It feels so smooth. I kept doing this for a few minutes; not noticing that Chan woke up. I then stop to go get my phone. Before I was able to walk away, I was stopped by a hand on my wrist.
"Why'd you stop?" He asks in a tired voice.
"W-What do you mean?" I ask while stuttering.
I feel heat up to my cheeks thinking about the fact that he was awake for who knows how long.
"My hair. You were playing with it," he says while sitting up.
"O-oh, I'm sorry," I say while looking down.
I felt really embarrassed.
"Thank you for the blanket though," he says.
I walk over and sit on his bed. I notice my phone on his nightstand and take it, checking for notifications. I also check the time and see it's already 7:00. Wow, time passed by fast. I saw one notification from Instagram. I open it and see that it's a post from Chaeyi.

@cherrylyn: darling we can have a sleepover at mine tonight?
@chaechae: @cherrylyn that would be great
I chuckle to myself and Chan looks up at me.
"What are you laughing at?" He asks, very much confused.
"My best friend is coming over tonight," I explain to him.
"Oh, nice. What's their name?" He asks
"Her name is Chaeyi, I'll introduce you to her tomorrow. And my other friend Junsoo. A little warning, they are both goofballs and crackheads, like me." I tell him, giggling slightly.
"I'm excited to meet them," He says.
"What're your friends' names?" I ask him.
"Well, I'm the oldest in the group. Then it's Minho. He's a bit cold at first, but once you get to know him, he's really nice and funny. He's also a pro dancer. After him, Changbin. He's a short little feisty one and he's probably got the fastest raps you've ever heard. Hyunjin comes next. Hyunjin has really good visuals and is taller than everyone else in the group. He is also a drama queen. Jisung, our little squirrel. He's an all-rounder; he sings well, raps fast, and can dance. He's also got really cute puffy cheeks. After him, is Felix. My little Australian little brother. He's also got charming freckles and a very deep voice. His Korean is Yongbok. Seungmin, who has a charming voice, is our little doggy. And lastly, Jeongin, the youngest. He's got fox eyes and a is the cutest little thing you can imagine." He finished.
I sat down listening to every word he said and sucking in every detail he was telling me about his friends. He seemed to admire them a lot. I then remembered a certain detail that caught my ear.
"Wait, your Australian?"I ask him.
He looks at me and nods.
"Hey Cherilyn," He tells me in an Australian accent.
I was shocked cause I also know English. I lived in Los Angeles from when I was seven to 13.
"Hey, Chan, and please, call me Charline," I tell him in English.
He seemed a bit taken aback when I responded to him in English.
"In that case, call me Chris," He tells me.
We both giggle together at the funny conversation. Suddenly, my phone buzzes. It was my dad.
Dad
Dad: I'm outside in the car. Say your goodbyes and take your time.
Me: Okay
"Hey Chan, I've got to go now. Can I have your number so if you have any questions, you can ask me?" I question.
"Sure," he says.
I give him my phone and he gives me his. I put my number in and have the contact name say 'Cherilyn'. He gives me my phone and I return his. He had saved his name as 'Chan <3'. I giggle at his childish behavior.
"Bye Chan," I wave him goodbye and he does the same.
I walk out of his room and down the stairs and make my way towards the car.
"Hey, honey." My dad says.
"Hey, dad, is it okay if Chaeyi comes over tonight? I promise we'll go to bed and wake up for school." I plead, showing him my puppy dog eyes.
He sighs.
"Okay, but promise me you won't be too loud, alright?" He complies.
I nod vigorously. I lean back in my seat to text Chaeyi.
Bestie
Me: My dad says that you can come over as long as we are quite and wake up for school.
Bestie: Okay! I'll be over in a bit.
Me: Okay np, I'm coming home from Chan's now.
Bestie: OMG!!! You have to tell me abt it!
Me: Fine.
I look out the window for the rest of the ride to my house.
