Trainee Trouble

{Chapter 17: A new friend}

(Author's note: Alright alright I know S.Coups is from Seventeen but we gotta name the 4 mystery teammates some time right? So just play along and let's pretend that the trainees haven't debuted yet yea? Great. Now onto the story.)

"Gahhhhhh" I grumbled as I kicked my blanket off my body. It was so hot in my room. I had forgotten to turn on the fan before falling asleep. Now I was all sweaty and sticky.

Grabbing a towel, I sighed, annoyed at the fact that I was going to have to re-wear my sweaty clothes. I left my room and walked towards the living room. If I remembered correctly, the bathroom was just past the kitchen....hmm?

As I walked towards the kitchen, I saw something on the countertop. It was a note and a small bag.

The note said: 'Morning (your name)~ Hyungdeuls have to go for training>~< Mianhae! We didn't want to wake you up so we left without saying bye. PD-nim said you'll start training next week so just focus on getting settled in yea? Oh and sorry but we're going to have to break our promise after all. Our schedule is packed for the whole day and we might not even return home tonight. This means we can't help you move your stuff:( Jinja mian! You should get Mark or Jackson to help you. Also, there's not much in the fridge so grab something from the convenience store down the street if you aren't too keen on going to a restaurant. Our treat:) Btw, you don't have toiletries right? We left some for you with this note. If you need any clothes, just borrow whatever from J-hope. He has too many outfits to spare. Don't miss us too much! We'll see you when we get back. Don't agitate your injury by being too hyperactive now! If you need anything, dial me at 010-5432-9876. The door code is 102938. Have a great day! Annyeong~ Namjoon'

I laughed at the note. Just like Rap mon to think of his hoobae first. Opening the bag, I saw a new toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, floss, facial wash, lip balm and two ₩10,000 bills. There were also little single use packets of BB cream and moisturizer to cover up any imperfections on my face. Rap Mon really thought of everything.

Smiling to myself, I stepped into the shower and cleaned myself off.

After taking a shower and taking care of my personal hygiene, I stared at the pile of dirty clothes on the bathroom floor. I didn't want to wear them again and my audition outfit was all cut up and stained with coffee. Contemplating for a while more, I decided that I was just going to have to play as J-hope for today.

With a towel wrapped tightly around me, I shuffled to J-hope's room. Shivering with cold, I grabbed one of the hangers with an already pre-matched outfit hanging from it. In fact, all of J-hope's outfits were arranged in sets already.

Putting on the black Bermudas and a HBA graphic tee, I roughly ran my fingers through my short hair, putting on a beanie to keep my ears warm, grabbed my phone and the money Rap mon left me. Putting on my shoes, I set off to the convenience store for some triangle kimbap.

Setting foot onto the street, I noticed that idol life was really different from what I imagined. I always thought that idols lived in dormitories in high-end neighborhoods with tight security. But where we were living was just an ordinary apartment building hidden in the shadows of some industrial buildings. We lived with ordinary members of the public, though most of the people living in this neighborhood probably already have grandchildren. I now understood why sasaeng fans were really considered obsessive. It would probably take a lot of effort to stake out the dorms of idols.

Shaking my head at the thought, I approached the convenience store. Greeting the cashier, I walked all the way to the back of the aisle and picked up 2 triangle kimbaps and pack of dried shredded squid. Rearranging the two kimbaps in my left hand and holding the pack of squid in my mouth, I grabbed a packet of banana milk and made my way to the counter.
