Chapter 4: Sauna

When you woke up, Chaewon was still deep asleep. You wanted to think she was exhausted after that session, but it was more than likely that she was just tired from all the hard work the group has been putting in recently. After all, they had just one day off before the comeback tomorrow.

This was a huge deal for them as it was their first comeback as a group. You wanted to make sure you were there to support your girlfriend to the best of your ability. Quietly, you got out of the bed, slipped on some casual clothes, and made your way down to the lobby to pick up your mail. After arriving in the mail room, you met your neighbor and nodded respectfully as you walked by.

"Heard quite a bit of noise last night, is everything alright?" your neighbor asked over his shoulder.

"Oh, yeah we were just playing some games and ended up getting very into it," you answer while turning around.

"Right, games."

He smiled and patted your shoulder before turning around and walking away. You went to the mailboxes and checked inside while smiling to yourself. Nothing interesting, just some envelopes that were probably bills and a couple of flyers. You picked up the mail and made your way back to your apartment.

After returning to your apartment, you opened the door and dropped off the mail on your table. As you took your shoes off, you heard a noise coming from inside. You found Chaewon on her hands and knees, scrubbing the floor.

"What in the world are you doing?"

"Cleaning the mess."

Crouching down next to her, you grab the sponge out of her hand.

"Sweetheart, why?"

"I can clean," she responds with her adorably tiny voice while looking down at the floor.

"I know you can, but you don't need to clean my apartment," you reply. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything is fine," she answers with a sigh while sitting cross-legged on the floor with her back against your couch.

After plopping down on the floor next to her, you wrap an arm around her shoulder.

"What's worrying my baby girl?"

"Our comeback... what if it doesn't go well?"

You pull her closer.

"Impossible."

The confusion on her face was palpable, "what do you mean it's impossible?" she demanded.

"I mean exactly that, it's impossible."

If looks could kill right now...

"Stop making a joke about it, I'm being serious," she snaps. "Do you know how much pressure I have? I mean, all of us do, but me especially. Don't you understand? What if-" she inhales sharply while closing her eyes.

Her excessive rambling clearly showed how flustered she was getting. Somehow she managed to display ten different emotions all at the same time, and you couldn't help but find it somewhat adorable.

"I don't think so."

"Stop that, I'm serious," she scowls, opening her eyes just enough to glare at you.

"Nope."

She looked like she was actually about to hit you.

"You look so cute when you're angry," you comment while poking her cheek.

"I'm not angry, I'm..." she begins before pausing and sighing heavily. "I don't even know anymore."

After a short laugh, you found yourself leaning over and pressing your lips to her soft cheek.
