-"Hum, what are you doing up this early?" Chan emerged from our room, his hair tousled and eyes barely open, still sleepy.
-"Oh, hyung, you scared us!" I exclaimed, trying to mask my surprise. "I woke up early and thought I'd chill with Felix!"
-"Oh, okay. We still on for the gym today, right?" Chan rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep.
-"Oh, huh..."
-"Yes, you guys are!" Felix chimed in, his fingers still dancing over his phone screen.
-"Oh? Sure. You coming too, Felix?" He asked, hopeful.
-"No," Felix replied, not looking up from his phone.
-"Okay, well since we're both up, do you want to go now, Changbin?" Chan asked, stretching his arms.
-"Huh? Sure... you can get ready first. Oh, by the way, Hyunjin is washing his hair."
-"Oh? Is today his hair wash day? Well, he's sure up early today," Chan said, raising an eyebrow.
-"Yeah, I know." I smiled, thinking about how meticulous Hyunjin was with his hair.
-"Hyunjin, are you in the shower?" Chan called out while lightly banging on the bathroom door.
-"Yeah!" Hyunjin's voice came muffled from inside. The door swung open to reveal him with hair products in hand, his hair damp and tousled.
-"You can come in if you want. I'm just doing a hair mask right now," he said casually, as if it was perfectly normal.
-"I just need to use the toilet and brush my teeth and face," Chan replied, stepping inside.
-"Sure, come in," Hyunjin said, closing the bathroom door behind him.
I stood there, momentarily stunned. Wait, can we talk about how both of them are using the bathroom at the same time? I mean, it's not like they haven't seen each other naked before, but still.
Why is he okay with Chan and not me?
Wait, I mean, it's still weird that they're using the bathroom at the same time!
From the corner of my eye, I noticed Felix still typing on his phone, a smile stretching across his face.
-"Looks like everything is going well?" I asked, trying to peek at Felix's phone screen.
-"Yeah, she's actually pretty chill and funny," he replied, a grin spreading across his face.
-"What are you guys talking about?" I pressed, curious.
-"Nothing in particular. We're just sending each other memes right now."
-"Oh? Felix! It's not the time!" I exclaimed, a bit frustrated. "You need to ask her about those weird dreams!"
-"I know, I know, but I need her to let her walls down a little bit first! I can't just bombard her with a 'hey, you keep dying in my friend's dreams and the day keeps restarting. Are you having the same day too?' Like, she's gonna think I'm crazy."
-"Okay, well, you're not wrong," I admitted, nodding.
-"I'll just ask for her number," he suggested. "Then I'll make a plan for you guys to meet so you can talk to her. Seems like the most rational decision."
-"Yeah, you're right. I'll leave it to you, I guess. I'll go get ready so I can go to the gym," I said, grabbing my things.
-"Don't worry. I got you, bro," Felix reassured me, a determined look in his eyes.
Just then, as Felix finished his sentence, Chan emerged from the bathroom, looking refreshed.
-"Changbin, Hyunjin just got in the shower. If you want to get ready, now's your chance," Chan said, brushing his hair back.
