I wasn't fully awake when I woke up this morning. I was awake but my eyes weren't open. I was just currently hugging my pillow. My warm, soft pillow.

Are pillows meant to be moving? They don't breathe... 

I open my eyes to find myself hugging Minho's waist. I was lying on top of him and he was luckily still asleep. God, was everything that happened last night real? Did I really ask him to sleep with me? Oh God, I think I might be sick.

I roll off of him and I fall off of the bed. I groan and I hear laughing coming from Minho's direction.

"Fokken hel," I whispered to myself.

"Mornin'," Minho said, turning to his side and looking at me.

"Fuck off," I grumbled, standing up. "I don't wanna hear it." Oh, God. I slept with Minho. I asked him to sleep with me. I slept on top of him. We cuddled.

I rushed out of the room and to the bathroom. Oh God, what would the others say if they found out I slept with him? What would Newt say? I might puke.

I splash cold water on my face, hoping it was all a dream. When I walked out of the bathroom, he was standing by the sink, drinking coffee. I ignored him as I walked past him and back into the bedroom, getting out clothes.

I got out a white tank top, my 1989 Taylor Swift cardigan and Black cargo pants. After doing my hair and makeup, I slip my shoes on again. I wasn't too sure what we would be doing today. Just something.

I put some jewelry on and I decided to message Hana.

Hana

HANA!!

2 mins later

Dude?
What??

What are we doing today?

The Paris catacombs

Cool!
What's that exactly?

It's catacombs
In Paris

✨✨Wow, thanks for the AMAZING description ✨✨

No problem <<33
It holds the remains of many dead people

Okay, now I'm interested.

Why would you be interested in going to a place with a lot of dead people?

It's basically a graveyard. Just more deadly

What is it with your obsession with death?

No clue.
When r we leaving????

About an hour

Why I gotta wait that long to see dead people's bones???

Because we booked tickets

Alright, my impatient ass will wait. Can't wait to see dead people bones

Oml

I'm omw to ur room btw

K. See you in a few

Ye, see u in a few


By a few, I meant a few seconds because I practically ran out of the room and towards Hana's room. I knocked on the door and she opened it.

"I thought you meant a few minutes, not a few seconds," She said as I walked in.

"What can I say? I get ready really fast."

"No, you don't. I've seen you get ready in the morning. You take forever."

"I do not."

"Yes, you do."

"No I do-."

"Fuck, Newt."

It sounded like it was coming from the room next door. Hana and I shared a look as we heard a bed creaking and heavy breathing coming from next door. The walls weren't thin but we would still clearly hear them. I had to cover my mouth before I started laughing.

"Shit, Tommy. Oh fuck."

Newt and Thomas. Oh my god. They were- no... maybe it was just other people staying in the same hotel and floor as us with the names Newt and maybe the guy's name was Tommy. We heard a whisper but before we could try and listen someone walked in.

"Hey-." Teresa froze when she saw us signing her to be quiet. She raised her eyebrow. But that soon faded when she heard the moans as well.

Yeah, and I was the one with the sexual fantasies

-

About 50 minutes later, we started to go to the car park, which we had rented and then parked a minivan. I sat in the back... between Newt and Thomas and I tried not to laugh. I couldn't get the sound of their moans out of my head.

"We're here," Harriet said as she parked the car. 

Finally.

We got out of the car and made our way to the entrance and then we waited for our tour guide. We waited 10 minutes. The tour guide was young... maybe around 22? I'm not too sure. He had fluffy, sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. He was quite attractive... just a little old for me I guess. I graduated high school a few weeks back, he's a grown man... not really gonna work out. Leo. His name was Leo. For the next few minutes, Leo explained some precautions.

"And lastly, please refrain from touching the bones. They are fragile and have been here for hundreds of years," He said as we finally started the tour. Just as I was hoping, there were bones everywhere. I love seeing dead people bones, don't know why though. I just kinda do.

"Hey, Anni, what's goin' on with you and Minho?" Thomas asked, catching up to me.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You two haven't talked, nor fought the whole day. It's weird," He explained.

"Not true, we talked this morning," I said and he scoffed.

"Yeah, probably for like two minutes before you left to go to Hana," He said with an amused tone.

"Don't even, Thomas. I heard you and Newt," I started and his face paled. "Fuck, Newt," I mocked.

"Y- you did?" He asked.

"Yes, so did Hana and Teresa."

"Fuck. Please don't tell anyone."

"I won't, don't worry. You don't have to tell anyone straight away. Only when you're comfortable of course," I said.

"I could say the same about you and Minho," He snorted.

"For the last time, he's not my boyfriend. He never will be. I don't like him. He doesn't like me. The end."

"Oh, you so do. It's clear as day. Everyone sees it. You two are attracted to each other," He teased, nudging my shoulder. I stuck the middle finger at him. I felt Minho's presence behind us or something so I made an excuse to get away from Minho.

"Sorry, Thomas, I need to go... uh- tell... Uhm- I need to go tell Hana something... talk later, bye," I quickly said before rushing forward to Hana. I heard him mutter goodbye.
