chapter 1~ bathtub

You walk out of your dorm bedroom with a splitting headache to go get some water from the kitchen. When you get there, you see Jeongin already by the fridge, digging something out.

"Innie, can you pass me water?"
He takes a bottle and throws it towards the counter where you are standing, and you manage to catch it mid-air with your right hand.

"Thanks."
You reply, opening it up and practically chugging the whole thing straight away.

"Whoa, slow down. You're gonna get the hick ups."

"Sorry, I know. I just have this really bad headache, and it won't go away."
At that moment, Chan walks into the kitchen, slippers dragging across the laminate wooden floor.

"You have a headache?!?"
He says, worried, placing his palm across your forehead to see if you perhaps have a fever. He puts his arm around your shoulder as you finish the water.

"I think you just need a warm, relaxing bath."

"Very much agreed."
You say, patting his back and leaving the kitchen to go to the bathroom. As you walk in, you put your towel on the counter next to the basin and turn on the water in the tub. You take off your shirt and joggers and throw them in the boys' laundry basket. You place both your hands on the edge of the basin lean forward, looking at yourself in the mirror with just your undergarments. Just as you were about to start critiquing how your body looks, Seungmin walks in, holding a bottle of bath bubbles. He isn't really fazed at the fact you only have your pants and bra on as during the summer when it's hot, pretty much everyone walks around with just boxers.

"Hey, Chan Hyung told me you weren't feeling so well, so I brought you some bubbles. This one smells really nice, just like lavender."
He places the bottle on the counter.

"Thank you so much, Minnie."
You thank him and give him a side hug. He smiles and leaves the bathroom, closing the door behind him. You sigh, rubbing your temples and pouring some solution into the bathtub. Getting in after taking off the rest of your clothes even though the tub is only half full only because you liked the sound of the running water; soon enough the surface was covered in lavender scented foam you turn off the faucet with your foot and lay your head back. The past few weeks have been stressful as we were preparing for a comeback, and it felt like you were constantly either in the practice room or the recording studio. For some reason, you weren't as strong at dance as the other boys, but your vocals were definitely your strong point, leaving you a spot in vocalracha. Opening your eyes, you sigh again and take a deep breath in, the smell of flowers tingling your nose. Just as you're about to close them again, you hear the door open slightly, and Felix slips in with a towel hung over his shoulder.

"Hey, lixxie. What are you doing here?"

"Would it be OK if I joined you?" He asks, gently pointing at the other end of the tub.

"Sure, I don't see why not ."
You say, smiling at him. He slips off his jumper and shorts and gets in with his boxers. This wasn't the first time taking a bath with him, during lockdown you two had done it almost every week and it just became normal because we had never seen eachother completely naked except for that one time when Hyunjin accidentally walked in on you changing and although he only saw your bare back, boy was traumatised and said you were trying to burn his eyes for the next week; after that you always remebered to lock the bedroom door. You would say you're the most close to Felix and Seungmin as we both joined JYPE at the same time and used to sleep in the same dorm block and eat together in the canteen during breaks Smiling, you think back to your hard trainee days, and ponder about how everyone has worked so hard to become who we are today. But out of the blue, a question floats around in your head like an ominous cloud.
