"Let's wake and up and wash up~"

The sunlight through the window hit my eyes as I lifted my head. Everyone was still sleeping. "Too early for this," I mumbled, laying back down on my pillow.  I pulled the tangled blanket over my shoulders again.  Jungwon was still asleep next to me.  His breath was slow and even 

The only sign he was awake was his arm draped over my waist.  His arm pulled me closer to the point I was resting against his chest. "Hm, Chae?" His voice was groggy and quiet, his eyes still closed.

"Mhm?" I closed my eyes, relaxing in the comfortable warmth.

"We need to get up," Jungwon whispered, his other arm wrapping around my shoulders, fully pulling me into a cocoon.  His actions said otherwise as he pulled me closer, with zero intention of getting up.

I shook my head, no desire to move from my cozy spot, "No, five more minutes," I muttered, letting myself relax. When Jungwon started letting go, I pulled his arm back, "No, I'm serious, just stay here," I grumbled, opening my eyes again.

Jungwon raised his head and looked at me, his eyes fully awake, looking at me with a small smile, "Chae, it's fine if you don't want to get up, but I need to get up," He said with a quiet laugh. I fought the urge to close my eyes feeling Jungwon trace shapes on my back. "Chaeeee," Jungwon complained as I nuzzled further against him, "You're adorable in the morning,"

"Oh, whatever," I gave up and rolled over, out of Jungwon's reach. I took the blanket with me, enjoying the cool and free space that I had on this side.

"I'll wake you up in five," Jungwon whispered before the bed dip.  I nodded into my pillow before falling asleep again.

"Do I have time to do my makeup?" I mumbled, entering the makeup room.  Jungwon woke me up what seemed like a second later, but apparently, I only had ten minutes to get ready before we had to leave.

Sunoo walked past me, taking the seat at the vanity, "They're doing our makeup at the company... just have to dry our hair," He said quietly.  I snorted when his head tipped forward and just like that he was fast asleep.  Along with Niki who was sleeping on the floor.

I stepped over Niki, trying not to trip.  Jungwon was blow-drying his hair in the mirror.  It must have not dried overnight.  I walked up to him, resting my chin on his shoulder, "Hi," I said softly, letting myself lean on him.

Jungwon chuckled, "Still not awake, Chae?" He asked, running his hand through his hair.

"Fighting for my life," I grumbled. "I'm just going to change.  There's no saving this in time," I hummed, looking at myself in the mirror.  I was going to need more than ten minutes to fix how puffy I looked.

"Don't say that, you look cute," Jungwon teased, a soft smile across his face.

I waved my hand, "Uh huh," I nearly tripped on my way out as Heeseung had decided to join Niki on the floor. I grabbed a face mask on the way out from Sunoo who fell asleep with the package opened next to him.

There was nothing much in my bag as I still had to get my clothes from my actual house.  But I put on a pair of white sweats from I-Land and my purple jacket.  It was getting colder nowadays so I didn't bother wearing a shirt underneath.

By the time I was done changing and brushing out my hair, everyone was already having breakfast.  I was about to sit down and get myself a bowl when our manager came in, "Guys, get on your shoes, we leave now."

I sighed, looking at the box of cereal as if it were my last meal.  I shook my head and just helped everyone clean up.  I'd eat later.  We all just barely made it out the door, I wasn't even sure if Heeseung had his shoes on as I closed the door behind us.
