-Start pf Chapter 40-

The early morning light filters through the curtains, casting a soft golden glow over the room. I blink awake, the familiar warmth of the blankets wrapped around me. For a moment, everything feels calm, like nothing has changed—no threats, no stress, just a peaceful morning.

I roll over, my hand brushing against the cool fabric of the bed. The air smells faintly of vanilla and something comforting that I can't quite place. My eyes flutter open fully, taking in the surroundings.

A simple room, neat but lived in. The bed is a little larger than I'm used to, and there's a soft hum in the distance, almost like the sound of someone talking quietly. 

I stretch, yawning quietly, my mind wandering through the haze of sleep. It's still early—I can tell by the softness of the light—but something about the way the room feels unfamiliar tugs at my thoughts. I sit up slowly, my head clearing.

I let out a quiet breath, relaxing again as the pieces start to fall into place. Right. Soobin.

I had forgotten for a moment that I'm staying here... at their dorm.

And this is Soobin's room and I'm in his bed...

No wonder everything smells so nice...

I shuffle groggily towards the bathroom, still half-asleep and completely unaware of my surroundings. I drag myself as I push the door open, expecting an empty room and a quick splash of water to wake me up.

Instead, I'm greeted by the sight of Soobin, standing shirtless in front of the mirror, toothbrush in his mouth, hair damp and messy, water dripping down his neck. He looks just as startled as I am.

My first instinct isn't rational.

"W-What the fuck are you doing in here?!" I blurt out, my voice a mix of shock and confusion as I clutch the blanket tighter around me.

Soobin pauses mid-brush, blinking at me in the mirror with wide, sleepy eyes. He slowly pulls the toothbrush from his mouth and looks around, clearly still half-asleep himself. "Um... this is my bathroom?"

I blink, still processing his words. "Huh?"

He gestures around the room, pointing out his neatly organized toiletries on the sink, his towel draped over the shower door, and his toothbrush in his hand. "You know... my stuff... in my bathroom... where I brush my teeth...?"

I stand there, frozen, for a moment longer before it clicks. Oh. Right. TXT's dorm. Soobin's room I'm staying at his house. This is his room. His bathroom.

My cheeks flush instantly. "Oh my God." I groan, dragging a hand over my face in embarrassment. "I totally forgot."

Soobin lets out a sleepy chuckle, clearly more amused than offended. "Well, good morning to you, too." he says, his voice warm and teasing as he continues brushing his teeth.

"Morning." I manage to mumble, my voice still thick with sleep. "Sorry, I didn't mean to... barge in."

Soobin chuckles softly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "It's finee." He reaches for the towel hanging nearby and begins to towel off his hair, still brushing his teeth in between pauses. His movements are slow, almost as if he's just as groggy as I am.

I lean against the doorframe, watching him for a moment longer than I should. 

I stand there for a second, watching Soobin's sleepy movements, the way his damp hair sticks to his forehead, and how his broad shoulders flex as he towels off. Realizing I've probably been staring too long, I shake my head and grab my toothbrush from the sink, squeezing out some toothpaste.
