◆Day 3.1◆

a/n: ugh, you have no idea how long it took me to figure out this chapter >.< sorry for the wait!! I hope you guys enjoy it!!!

Also I changed their little monologue to bold texts just so it's even clearer as like you know reality show vibes

little reminder that ateez isn't the main focus. they're more like side characters, so I'll be focusing on Stray Kids. Since it is a long fic and they will be very prominent in the story, that's the reason I've included them in the tags. Just remember they're not the main ship/plotline <3

◆◇◈◇◆

Y/n wakes up to the blissful smell of rosemary and hums contently, snuggling deeper into the source. She feels a pair of arms tighten around her waist and stills, lifting her head as the world comes back to her. Seungmin is already staring down at her with an amused expression as she comes to, and she glares at him before hiding her face in his neck again, completely embarrassed.

The beta chuckles, nuzzling into her temple. "Morning."

"Morning," she grumbles, fingers idly messing with the fabric of his sleep shirt. "Are the others awake?"

Seungmin glances over his shoulder and huffs. "Trying to."

She hums in response and he turns back to her, lacing their fingers together. Her heart races in her chest as she gently tugs at his hand. Seungmin chuffs lightly and playfully tangles their fingers together. They sit in comfortable silence messing with each other's fingers until the lights turn on and multiple omegas groan in complaint. Seungmin pulls her up with him and she grumbles the entire time, rubbing her face before forcing herself to stop.

"Morning." Felix groans, his blonde hair a bird's nest on his head.

"Morning, Felix." Y/n sighs, sniffing softly.

"How did everyone sleep?" Seonghwa asks, heavy eyes darting over everyone's frames.

"Early starts suck." Hyunjoo frowns from where she's splayed out on Yeosang's lap.

San huffs a laugh. "It's 9 am."

"Exactly." She deadpans.

Misuk shakes her head from her spot beside San and drops her shoulder on the older omega's shoulder. San wordlessly wraps an arm around her waist to keep her close.

"Hyunjin." Felix shakes the omega next to him. "Hyunjin-ah, wake up."

"No," he grumbles, reaching back to flick his hand away.

"Don't make me come over there," Minho gripes.

Hyunjin groans like he's dying before he sits up in his bed, brushing his long black hair out of his face. "Fine, fine. I'm up, Jesus."

"Good boy," Minho simpers.

Hyunjin and Felix's faces turn red as they avoid his gaze, and Y/n snickers into Seungmin's shoulder, the beta grinning like crazy as Seonghwa playfully smacks Minho's shoulder. "Stop teasing the babies, it's too early."

Minho snorts but says nothing, bending a knee to lean his cheek against it.

"What's the plan for today?" Yeosang asks, tilting his head curiously. "Do you guys have any ideas?"

"I think it's challenge day," Seonghwa responds. "They tend to do them twice a week."

"Third and sixth day." Minho nods in consideration. "That's probably how it'll go."

"Ugh, I'm so nervous." Y/n pouts.

"Me too," Felix admits.

"I just don't want to die," Hyunjin grumbles. "'M too pretty to die this early."
