Thursday June 2, 2016

Choco was up by 5am, ready and set to go jogging. Last night she had cried herself to sleep again, but atleast she didn't have to stiffle her sniffles like she did when she had to share a room. If only she had the ability to wipe her memory clean.
Just like every other morning, she was feeling empty and sad inside but exercise always did the trick to pull her through. She knew the others would be sore but that's the thing about exercise, no pain no gain. Besides if they went jogging for a week, the pain will wear off and eventually they will begin to enjoy it.

@Rae and Candy's room

Choco softly knocked and a very sleepy Candy opened the door.

Choco: Annyeoghaseyo. Unnie, I came to get Rae. We are supposed to go jogging this morning.

Candy (yawning): She's sleeping.

Choco (not wanting to give up, she awkwardly smiles): Err...can you just..er...peacefully wake her.

Rae: For heaven's sake! She said I'm sleeping and there's nothing peaceful about waking someone who doesn't want to be awaken.

She pulled the covers over her head and snuggled comfortably with one of the pillows.

@Alice and Hime's room

A grumpy Hime opened the door, after Choco had knocked for what seem like the thousandth time.

Choco (warmly): Annyeogha......

Hime (bluntly): Oh no, I'm not doing it again.

Choco (encouragingly): Be strong. Come on unnie. Fighting!

Hime: Tell that to me sore body. (calling out to Alice) Alice, you going jogging this morning?

Alice: I would love to but I can't move a muscle so getting out of this bed right now is impossible. Mian.

Hime: See, that's what you did to us. (waving) Bye, have fun exercising. Fighting!

@Love and Brownie's room.

Love (gently shaking a sleeping Brownie): Hey, wake up.

Brownie (whining): Why?

Love: Remember? Exercise. Choco was just here. She went to get the others. I told her we will meet her downstairs.

Brownie: You should have spoken for yourself. Sorry for making you seem like a person who doesn't stand by their words but I'm not going. Tell Choco, my yoga mat is here now. I will exercise at the gym when I wake, I overheard one of the guys saying there's one available.

Love: Okay, sleep tight.

As Love put on her exercise outfit, she motivated herself. No matter what, she will be happy. Minhyuk could ignore her forever. She was Zhang Liu, the woman who loves him with her all not the cheater he thought she was. Too bad if he couldn't see that.
But she knew his silent treatments would have a disastrous effect on her if he continues with it during the duration of their stay in the house.

@Mochi and Hoodie's room

Mochi: Hey Choco, come on in.

Choco (smiling): I can see you are about to get ready.

Mochi: Yea, I need to get started with preparing breakfast in like 30 minutes so it could be served on time.

Choco: Oh, so you won't be joining us?

Mochi: Sorry, there's just too many people now.

Choco: I understand. Hoodie?

Hoodie (in a sleepy voice): I'm coming. Just let me meditate for a few minutes. (by meditate she means sleep)

Choco: Ok, meet me downstairs.

@Dawn and Kitty's room

Kitty turned as the resounding knock became irritating.

Kitty: Dawn! Get it please.

Dawn: You get it, I'm the older one.

Kitty: I'm not the one called Dawn, this should be your favourite time of the day.

Dawn: Ironically it's not.

Kitty covered her head with the blanket as the knock became a bit louder, causing Dawn's head to throb. Cursing under her breath, Dawn made her way to the door.

Dawn: What?

She questioned the moment she opened the door, coming face to face with Choco.

Choco: Good morning unnie.

Dawn: The fact that I'm not in bed right now makes nothing good about this morning. What do you want?

Choco: I was wondering if, you might want to join us to go joggi..........

Dawn (glaring at her ): Do you have a death wish?

Choco slowly nodded.

Dawn: Never again in your life wake me at such hour.

With that she slams the door in Choco's face.
What was wrong with her this morning, Choco wondered. I mean yesterday morning she wasn't at all like this.

****
After lunch, the guys decided to explore the island. Not that the ladies weren't curious, they just weren't up for it.
Only Hoodie and Love had joined Choco. Those who didn't apologised, especially Dawn who felt guilty about her actions the moment she was fully awake.

Choco still encouraged them to exercise and they all excluding Dawn, Kitty and Mochi said they had gone to the gym that morning. In the end Choco formed gym classes, they all could attend realising morning jogs won't do.(Author: I love Choco's perseverance)

Hey reader, so it wouldn't be possible to have 22 people from diverse backgrounds in one house with out a bit of drama. They all can't just get along with each other. I'm gonna throw in a bit of rivalry and frenemy relationships. Don't worry, in the end they are all leaving that house as one big family.
