009 : in your uniform
—
BEEP beep beep beep...
The sound pierced through my dreams, pulling me reluctantly back to the waking world. Groaning, I buried my face deeper into my pillow, hoping to block out the incessant ringing of the alarm clock. Just as I was about to drift off again, I heard footsteps, and the noise abruptly stopped. I peeked out from under my pillow to see Niki standing by the nightstand, fully awake and looking slightly bashful. My eyes widened in surprise as I took in the sight of him.
"It's time for school," he said softly, his voice almost a whisper, as he grabbed a set of clothes from his side of the closet and headed to the bathroom. Once he disappeared behind the door, I let out another groan. How was he up so early?
With a reluctant sigh, I reached for my phone, squinting at the bright screen. "Six a.m.?!" I exclaimed, sitting up abruptly in bed. Why on earth were we awake so early when school didn't start until 8:30?
Just then, Niki returned to the room, now dressed and looking quite put together, though he still seemed a bit shy. He noticed my shocked expression and explained, "Oh—um, me and Jungwon have trouble with girls at school. We go early to avoid being crowded by everyone." He shrugged, a hint of embarrassment crossing his face. "Sorry for dragging you into our problems—"
Before he could finish, Jungwon burst into the room, already clad in his uniform but noticeably missing his tie. "Niki, where's my tie?" he demanded, looking flustered.
"Oh, right." Niki replied, his voice quickening as he rushed to the nightstand beside me. He opened a drawer and quickly handed Jungwon the missing tie.
"Thanks—" Jungwon started to leave but then turned back, a cheeky grin on his face. "Nari? Come on, get dressed!" he teased before striding out of the room.
I sighed and glanced over at Niki, a frown forming on my lips. "What am I gonna wear?..." I asked, suddenly realizing I didn't have a uniform.
"You can use my old uniform?" Niki suggested, his voice soft and hesitant. I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Still, I figured anything would be better than showing up in casual clothes to a school with a strict uniform policy. With a resigned sigh, I nodded. He rummaged through the closet and retrieved his old uniform.
"Here," he said, handing it to me with a shy smile. The fabric looked large, which wasn't surprising given that he stood at 6 feet tall.
"Thank you," I muttered softly, feeling a mixture of gratitude and anxiety as I got up and headed to the restroom. Slipping into the uniform, I realized it was not as oversized as I had anticipated, but I still felt a bit ridiculous. Glancing down, I noticed Niki's name stitched on the badge, and a wave of embarrassment washed over me. "I'm gonna look so stupid..." I whispered to myself.
