Your only CHOICE

Aquward Anoyence

((Saeran's POV))

I sigh as I walk down the long hallway to my room after dinner. It's been a while since I've seen Mc, and to be honest, the time I did spend with her now feels like it never happened. I guess my brain found the memory's that don't follow my normal routine and decided it was a dream.

I reach the handle of the door and open it to my orthodox room. Everything seems to be where I put it other then the pile of clothes next to the bathroom door, and after a while of paying attention, I hear the water running from the shower in the bathroom. The clothes on the floor, now that I look at them, looks like the clothes I gave Mc when she said yes.

"Mc! Do you need new clothes?" I ask loudly to her from the other side of the door.

"No! I found my other clothes on your desk! So I took them" she said. I could  sense a little bit of annoyance in her voice, almost like she was trying to sound neutral through her annoyance.

"Ok" I responded, walking over to my bed and layed down. Any of my annoyance for her has disappeared, but my care for her has gone down too. Even if I only knew here for a little before she left, it's almost like she's a stranger now. The white noise of the water disappeared, and I hear the shower curtains screech open then closed.

"Why are you even back yet? Dinner isn't over." I hear Mc say from beyond the closed door, I sit up and sit crisscross on my bed.

"Even if I get to the great hall after everyone else, I always leave before anyone else." I say in response to her question, running a hand through my hair as I wait for her to finish so I can wash the day off of me. "I don't really want to interact and I eat quickly, it doesn't take up much of my time." I clarified more.

"If you don't want to be around you others, why did you decide you needed me as an assistant." She said more annoyed then the other times she spoke. The bathroom door unlocks and opens, Mc walks into the same room I'm in. Her clothes are the ones I cleaned for her, her jeans and champagne colored sweater top. A towel is tied around her hair like an intricate head wrap. I don't answer her for a moment, trying to determine why she looks so different then when the first time I met her. "Hello? I asked you a question?!" She said, waving her hand in front of my face.

"Did you start wearing makeup?" I ask, knowing that it's random but I want to know why she looks so different. She looked at me in bewilderment and almost disgust.

"Uh, I always wear at least a little bit of makeup," she said, "why?" She said in a confused manner, looking at me strangely.

"You just.. look different" I said, realizing that I either sounded stupid, cheesy, or trying to flirt. I mentally punch myself for not thinking about what I was saying.

"I stayed the same," she said matter of factly, but then she pointed to her brain, "this changed, and its all thanks to you." She said sarcastically. I sit there thinking for a while. I didn't imagine that this lifestyle would break her so fast, but it also built her up in record time as well.

"Yeah.." I said softly, standing up and going to my closet to grab clothes, then head to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower. You can stay here, or whatever" I said before closing the door and turning on the water.

((Mc's POV))

Almost as soon as he closes the door, the phone that Rika gave me almost a week ago that I never use buzzed,

'I'm also ordering you to stay there for the night and sleep in a real bed. If you don't want to sleep next to Saeran, either move him to the floor or deal with it
-Rika'

Oh hell no. I stand up hand head to the door and try to leave when I found that the door was locked. My phone buzzed again, I pull it out and look at it,

'Also, I'm locking the door so you can't leave. You need to make up with Saeran, after all, he is your leader and your part of his team
-Rika'

I sigh out loud and roll my eyes in an exaggerated way, hopeing that in some way that Rika heard that from the other side of the door.

"Saeran! Do you have a door key somewhere in here?!" I yell to him as I look frantically around his room for a key to unlock the door. The water stops and Saeran's voice comes from inside of the bathroom,

"No! Why?" He said loudly so I can hear him just as I did. I sigh again and walk to the bathroom door and lean against the wall beside it,

"Rika locked it. Something about how we have to 'make up'." I said, making little air quotations even if I know that no one can see me.

"Sooo.... we're both stuck in this room for the night.. together?" He said, I could tell he was annoyed about the situation too, probably not as as I was though.

"Yeah" I said, answering his rhetorical question. This is going to be a long night..
