The sun was barely up, and Woonhak was already buzzing with energy. He opened the chat app and fired off a cheerful message to Taesan.

Woonhak: Good morning, Taesan! 🌞 What’s up?

Dongmin: Just working on a DIY project.

Woonhak perked up at the thought. Dongmin was usually so reserved, and the idea of him creating something sparked Woonhak’s curiosity.

Woonhak: DIY? Ooh, are we crafting something cool? Like a robot? A rocket ship?

Dongmin: No, I’m just customizing my shoes.

Woonhak: Ah, that’s pretty cool! What are you doing to them?

Dongmin: Adding some paint and patches.

Woonhak: Nice! Are they going to be like, super emo and dark? 😈

Dongmin: I guess? They’re black, so it’s hard to make them any darker.

Woonhak laughed as he imagined Dongmin painstakingly painting his shoes while maintaining his signature "dark and mysterious" aura.

Woonhak: What if you add some neon colors? That would be epic!

Dongmin: I’m not turning my shoes into a circus.

Woonhak: But imagine the vibes! You’d be the coolest kid in school!

Dongmin: I think I’d prefer to blend in, thanks.

Woonhak: Blending in is no fun! Stand out like a unicorn in a field of donkeys! 🦄

Dongmin stared at his screen, wondering why he even entertained these conversations.

Dongmin: You really need to stop with the animal comparisons.

Woonhak: Fine, but you have to admit it’s a good visual.

Dongmin: I’ll pass.

Woonhak: Okay, okay! But seriously, what color are you using?

Dongmin: Just black and gray. Maybe some white for contrast.

Woonhak: Lame! What about a splash of color? Like hot pink?

Dongmin: This isn’t a rave party, Woonhak.

Woonhak: Exactly! So it should be wild!

Dongmin shook his head, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Woonhak’s energy was infectious.

Dongmin: You do realize I’m not you, right?

Woonhak: True, but I can be your spirit animal! 😆

Dongmin: I’d rather stick to my cat-themed DIYs.

Woonhak: Speaking of cats, have you thought about adding cat patches?

Dongmin: Not sure how that would work with the look I’m going for.

Woonhak: Come on! You know it would be adorable!

Dongmin: Adorable is not the vibe I’m going for.

Woonhak: But it should be! You need some cute in your life!

Dongmin: I’m surrounded by your sunshine and chaos. Isn’t that enough?

Woonhak: It’s a start, but I’m not giving up until you embrace your inner cute!

Dongmin: I think my inner cute wants to hide from you.

Woonhak: I’ll find it! I’ll get you some cat stickers!

Dongmin sighed, giving up on the argument. He focused on finishing the detailing on his shoes, hoping it would distract him from Woonhak’s relentless antics.

Dongmin: You’re really relentless, aren’t you?

Woonhak: Always! Just like a puppy! 🐶

Dongmin: A puppy? Really?

Woonhak: Yup! A cute, fluffy one that never gives up!

Dongmin: I can’t even argue with that logic.

Woonhak: See? I’m winning! What else are you doing today besides crafting your masterpiece?

Dongmin: Probably just finishing these shoes and then watching something.

Woonhak: Any recommendations? I need something new to watch!

Dongmin: Depends on what you like. I’m more into dark psychological dramas.

Woonhak: Ugh, dark? What’s wrong with you? You need some fun in your life!

Dongmin: I don’t need your brand of fun, Woonhak.

Woonhak: But my fun is the best kind!

Dongmin: I think I’ll stick with my cat videos, thanks.

Woonhak: Cat videos? I love those! Which ones? The funny ones or the cute ones?

Dongmin: Both.

Woonhak: I need to see them! Send me some!

Dongmin: You’re like a toddler.

Woonhak: But a cute toddler!

Dongmin rolled his eyes, already regretting indulging him.

Dongmin: I’m not sending you anything.

Woonhak: Please! Just one video?

Dongmin: If I send you one, will you leave me alone for five minutes?

Woonhak: Deal!

Dongmin sighed, found a random cat video from his favorites, and sent it to Woonhak.

Woonhak: OMG, this is adorable! 😍

Dongmin: Five minutes starts now.

Woonhak: You’re going to regret this!

Dongmin: I’m counting.

There was a brief moment of peace. Dongmin leaned back, thinking maybe Woonhak had finally run out of energy. Then his phone buzzed again.

Woonhak: Wait… did you indirectly call me cute?

Dongmin groaned and rolled his eyes.

Dongmin: Bye, Woonhak.

Woonhak: Admit it, Taesan! I’m your spirit animal!

Dongmin turned off his phone, deciding he needed a break from the chaos that was Woonhak.

I'm back again. I can't forget the what door episode where taesan said "I don't have the intention to be in the same team as you, because I'll want to hug you."— okay?! Who's stopping you? Hug the shit out of your personal teddy bear 🤭 and yesterday boys were fighting over that kiss stain on Woonhak’s cheek (like who left the mark). Taesan said kissing is a bit too much yet he joked telling onedoors to send woonhak to his room to get it. And please idk if he's joking or not, cuz what do you mean woonhak asked you to kiss him but you didn't?!😫
