Because Of... || Seo Changbin

JANUARY 9TH- Part 6

I was kinda hoping for something extraordinary to happen today. An alien invasion or some shit like that would've been awesome. If I had to redo this damn shoot one more fucking time, I swear I'd throw myself down the goddamn stairs.

Okay, that was way too dramatic.

After long, excruciating hours, we were finally done with the shoot. As always, Jiho went his separate ways. When we got home, Felix was the first to hop in the shower. It's usually Han, but I guess Felix was really looking forward to our little ice cream "date."

God, I'm pathetic.

-"Changbin hyung, you can use the bathroom first. I'll go after you," said Han, surprising me.

-"Huh? Why?" I asked.

-"Don't you have somewhere to go with Felix? I was just being nice."

-"If he doesn't want to go in, I'll go!" shouted Hyunjin.

-"NO!" we all shouted at him.

-"You're going last," said Han firmly.

-"This is getting ridiculous! When are we moving out? Nine men can't keep living in this tiny fucking apartment! I'm so sick and tired of hearing those four cavemen snoring all night long! Especially Hyunjin! Did y'all know that sometimes he talks in his sleep?" said Seungmin, disgusted.

-"Not even true! And you also snore, Seungmin!"

-"Cause I'm exhausted from hearing you guys snore and YOUR giggle! Why are you giggling? What kinds of dreams are you having? And not only that, I know you're probably tired of getting up at the crack of dawn to get ready!"

-"I mean, yeah. Getting up early to wash my hair is getting quite fucking tiring."

-"See!"

I cut in with a laugh, trying to lighten the mood. "Honestly, the real problem is this one-bathroom situation. I mean, what's the deal with Felix always using up all the hot water? Are you secretly trying to become a human sauna?"

Felix poked his head out of his room, grinning. "Gotta keep my skin glowing, hyung. The struggle is real."

Han snorted. "And what about Hyunjin's endless singing concerts in the shower? We all know he's good, but damn, I just want to brush my teeth in peace without hearing him belting out Psycho by Red Velvet. And why do you have to take so damn long to wash your hair?"

Hyunjin rolled his eyes. "At least my concerts are free. You should be thankful! And I have the most beautiful hair out of all y'all fuckers. Don't be jealous!"

Seungmin sighed dramatically. "I'm just tired of playing bathroom roulette every morning. It's like, will I get the shower next or will I have to wait another hour? Will Felix use all the hot water?"

-"Maybe we should start an ACTUAL schedule," Minho suggested, smirking. "Felix gets the first ten minutes, then Han, and Hyunjin will still go last cause he always takes too long and he can have his full concert time slot."

I.N laughed. "And Seungmin can be the bathroom monitor. He'll stand outside with a stopwatch and a clipboard, making sure we all stick to our times."

Seungmin grinned. "You joke, but I'm totally up for that."

Despite the bickering, everyone cracked a smile. For a moment, the tension eased as we shared a laugh over this ridiculous living situation.

-"Okay, okay. I know what you guys are trying to get at. JYP and our manager were in the middle of looking for new dorms for us, but then... that Jiho situation came up. So please bear with it for a little bit longer," Chan said with a little chuckle.
