As Y/n stirs from her sleep the next morning, she feels content and well-rested. Her omega is brimming with energy to go out and do something for the first time in years, so she lets herself listen to her. She quickly gets dressed for the day before stumbling into the bathroom. She jolts at the sight of a body hunching over one of the sinks.

"O-Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were in here."

Hyunjin glances up at her through the mirror and stands tall. "It's fine."

"Good morning," she bows.

The omega grunts in response and she decides not to push it. He must not be a morning person. She brushes her teeth and does her usual facial routine, doing her best to ignore the omega staring at her. Y/n neatly puts her things in the corner before leaving the bathroom pushing her hair out of her face.

"Hey, Y/n."

She pauses and turns, meeting his brown eyes. "Yeah?"

"Can we work together to keep the bathroom clean?" Hyunjin asks, his tone is dull and raspy now that she's paying attention to it as he slowly blinks his eyes. "I don't like the bathroom to be a mess."

"Oh, yeah," she nods, finally pulling all of her hair into a hair tie. "Of course. I'm a pretty clean person, so you won't have to worry about that."

He sighs and nods, running a hand through his messy hair. "Great, thanks."

"I'll work on getting an organizer for my stuff soon, so it's not this clustered," Y/n worries at her lip. "I don't like the clutter either."

The omega hums and she takes it as the end of the conversation, shutting the door behind her. Y/n grabs her bag before heading toward the kitchen. She's relieved to find it empty but taking in the fact that she had woken up an hour before she needed to, she'd be surprised if someone was in here. She washes her hands and starts to work on a breakfast for the group. They'll be stuck in the studio practicing all day, they should have a good breakfast before they leave.

As Y/n plays gentle R&B music to keep her motivated and moving, she loses track of time as she cooks. It's a bit of an adjustment cooking for 9 but she manages as she finishes everything up.

"What is that amazing smell?"

Y/n jumps and turns as Felix and Changbin saunter into the kitchen with puffy, sleepy faces.

"Oh. Good morning," she waves.

"Y/n?" Felix squints through his strands of blond hair. "What are you doing up?"

"Cooking breakfast," she shrugs, moving the rest of the rice into the last bowl.

"It smells good," Changbin glances over the bowls. "Need help moving it to the table?"

"Please," her shoulders slump with a pleading look on her face.

Changbin's lip tugs up in a smile as he grabs the bigger plates. "Of course."

"I'll go wake the others," Felix mutters, walking out of the kitchen.

Y/n and Changbin move back and forth as they set the table.

"I heard you wrote a song with Channie-hyung and Jisungie last night," Changbin says, lifting his head to meet her gaze.

"I did, yeah," She nods, a small flurry of embarrassed pheromones flitting from her scent glands.
