"What are you doing?"
"Washing my hands."
"It takes you ten minutes to wash your hands?" Soonyoung frowns, glancing down at the wet countertop, "and half a bottle of soap? We literally just bought that."
"Correction," Jihoon interjects, "I literally just bought that. And I'll buy another one."
Jihoon continues to scrub furiously at the palm of his left hand, prompting Soonyoung to sigh.
"What did you touch to make you this adamant on washing your hands?" Soonyoung crosses his arms and snorts, "Don't tell me, you accidentally brushed hands with Seungcheol in the dining hall?"
"I'd literally amputate them," Jihoon retorts, shutting the faucet off.
Soonyoung watches Jihoon dry his hands on a nearby towel and sighs, leaning his head against the doorway. "Then what?"
"While you were drowning yourself in soju, I met someone...who decided to give me their number in permanent marker." He scowls down at his hand, the writing on it hardly faded.
"Oh, that girl who came with Seungkwan?"
Soonyoung trudges out of the doorway to the living room couch, and Jihoon follows after flipping the bathroom's light off.
"You know her?" Jihoon asks, slumping back into the couch. Soonyoung sits with his legs crossed, hugging a cushion close to his chest.
Soonyoung shakes his head, frowning. "She looks familiar though."
"Unfortunately," Jihoon sighs, holding his palm up. His eyes trace over the letters and numbers with disdain, remembering the feel of the marker's rough tip on his skin, along with the soft hand that held his steady.
"You still didn't explain why you were so eager to wash it off," Soonyoung muses, watching Jihoon over the top of his pillow expectantly.
Jihoon flashes Soonyoung the palm of his hand, holding it up long enough for the other to read.
"Choi...(F/N)?" Soonyoung's brows furrow in confusion, leaning back into the couch. "There are other people with that surname, you know."
"Mingyu said..."
"Since when did you start believing what Mingyu says?" Soonyoung grins smugly, to which Jihoon crinkles his nose.
"...I also checked Facebook."
He removes his phone from the pocket of his sweats and pulls up your Facebook page, then tosses it to Soonyoung, who catches it with ease.
