Seven | Book 1 (An EXO fiction)

28.

The date of the party's kickoff approaches so quickly that I feel as though I was waxed to hell just yesterday, even though it was a good few days ago. I went to bed last night feeling really nervous as to what to expect.

Anything can happen at big parties like this.

And to my luck, the day starts off just as unexpected...as I expected.

It's the break of dawn and I'm being shaken like a god damn maraca in my bed by 4 hands too rough to be considered a gentle wake up call. Still half asleep I throw my fist out hoping to hit one of the assailants straight in the jaw. I sit up with a start and open one sleep encrusted eye to see Sehun laughing boisterously and Chanyeol protecting his face with his arms. I put my fist down and open my other eye so that I can glare at them effectively.

It's basically fucking 2 am.

All of the lights in my room are on.

I'm not happy about any of this right now, and their light smiles are making me even more aggravated. "What the fuck do you two want?" I ask hoarsely.

"The party starts today." Chanyeol says with a lift to his voice. I yawn ugly.

"Okay, so what? Why do you two seem so damn excited about it?"

Chanyeol answers first again. "Because I get to spend the entirety of the next 3 days with you." His cheeky comment makes my stomach turn, and since it's so early and I'm out of it I don't know if it's a good or bad thing. Who does he think he is to be flirty so early in the shitting morning?

I bite back with "Don't you both do that anyway?" they're always with me. Literally. I can't catch a break.

He shrugs. "No. You aren't usually afraid of everyone, and now you're going to actually need me."

"Who says I'm going to be scared." I snap.

"You will be." Sehun finally chimes in. I smack my lips in agitation and wave my hand in a dismissing motion.

"Whatever. Go away. I want to sleep until the very last minute. Goodnight." I pull the covers back over my and settle in, until Sehun takes it upon himself to start shaking me again.

"You have to get up. They're going to come into your room at any minute now."

I don't move when I respond. "What are you talking about?" I mumble. Sharping knocking at my door forces me up with another jolt. Chanyeol smiles fully again.

"Time to get ready for the party, princess."

My room is invaded by a small army of Gaia and as soon as they break through the door, my Charmers retreat to the side of my bed giving them enough room to pull me up. Already knowing where this is headed, I don't fight back at all.

I'm pulled to the bathroom and stripped of my clothing. My huge swimming pool sized tub is filled to the brim. I'm guided into the basin, and I lower myself into the lukewarm water slowly. It's extremely fragrant.

"This water has been infused with oils and products that will lower your exhaustion levels for the day, and also prevent sweating." One of the women tells me when she sees me holding a handful of it to my nose.

A wave of water flows over my head, and I gasp loudly. The women begin to physically scrub and bathe me. I'm still too tired to do or say anything besides just letting them do what they came here for. I catch Chanyeol and Sehun near the vanity with small smirks on their faces.

Little shits.

They're enjoying their selves.

A hand is held out in front of me and I take it gladly and pull myself up out of the water.
