I.

The day quickly passed by, and Minhee finished her classes earlier than expected, allowing her to head home before the boys. The quiet dorm felt like a stark contrast to the bustling energy she had left behind at the company. Dropping her bag by the door, she sank into the soft cushions of the living room couch, letting out a sigh of relief. 

Pulling out her phone, she quickly typed a message to Seungmin, her fingers flying over the screen. "I'm home early today, just finished my classes. Hope you're doing well!!!!" She knew Seungmin was likely busy, so she didn't expect an immediate response. With that, she exited the messaging app, set her phone down beside her, and headed to her room. 

Grabbing her towel and bathrobe, Minhee decided to take advantage of the empty dorm and take a long, relaxing shower. The warm water felt soothing against her skin, washing away the stress of the day. She closed her eyes, letting the steam envelop her, a brief moment of tranquility. Once she was done, she wrapped herself in her bathrobe, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. 

She changed into her favorite pajamas, a comfortable set that made her feel cozy, and then she proceeded with her skincare routine, meticulously applying each product. After drying her hair, Minhee returned to the living room, her wet hair now a cascade of silky waves. She plopped back down on the couch, remote in hand, and turned on the television. She pressed the Netflix button, scrolling through the options before settling on a movie that had been on her watchlist for weeks. 

Just before she hit play, she noticed a few notifications on her phone. Picking it up, she saw messages from Seungmin and their group chat. Her heart fluttered a bit as she opened Seungmin's message first. "Hey babe, I have vocal class until 9, so I'll be home in about two hours. Miss you already. Let's cuddle when I get back, okay?" His sweet words brought a smile to her face.

She giggled, pressing the heart emoticon in response before switching to the group chat. Jiseok had sent a message asking if anyone was home. Jungsu had replied, "Still at the company, probably here for another hour or so." Gunil chimed in, "Same here, wrapping up practice." Jooyeon added, "Finishing up some recording, might be late." Minhee quickly typed, "I'm homeeee, why?" and sent the message.

Almost immediately, Jiseok replied, "Great! Can you order some chicken for dinner? I'll be home around 8." Minhee smiled, already thinking about the delicious meal. "Sure, I'll order in a bit," she responded before setting her phone down. Turning her attention back to the TV, she hit play on the movie, letting herself get lost in the storyline.
