(A) [Day 1] 8:50 AM

[wonho]

i wake up to someone shaking me, inches away from my face. "hyung." the someone says. i open my eyes only to scrunch them again, furrowing my brows due to the light. "what?" i mumble. kihyun looks a bit troubled, causing me to soften my expression. "hyung, get up. i need help." he whispers a little loudly. "with what?" i ask. "breakfast. i'm too tired to do it by myself." he frowns. i smile, rubbing my eyes in the process. "fine, let me freshen up." i comply. he shares an eye-smile, quickly backing up to trot back into the kitchen is my guess. i roll onto my side and tap my phone. glancing at the time, i notice a text notifying us about dance practice. i roll my eyes before turning back over to exit my bed. as i walk to the bathroom, i hear kihyun humming a too familiar tune. "so beautiful," he sings out. i decided to join in. "so beautiful." i sing back, catching him off guard. he jumps and snaps his head around towards me. "ya!" he gripes. i let the talking down to off the hook, smiling in a teasing way instead.

i enter the bathroom, taking a look at myself in the mirror. i nodded in approval. my face is still somehow clear despite the constant performance makeup being applied. i noticed some stains on my hoodie, causing me to coil my face in confusion. "what the," i questioned, looking at the mark. i came to the conclusion that it was just drool, considering the trail that was running off the corner of my mouth as well. i rinsed my face with water and a little bit of cleanser, brushing my teeth right after. after exiting, i went ahead and changed into a black tee and black shorts, nothing fancy. walking into the kitchen, i find ingredients laid out across the counter. "you seem like you don't need my help." i commented, causing him to glare at me. as usual, i couldn't help but smile. "i will let you starve." he snapped back. i rose my hands in surrender. "okay, okay. what do you want me to do?" i asked. "can you grab the flour and pour it into the bowl for me?" he asked, back still turned to me trying to melt butter. "of course." i said, grabbing the bag of flour and pouring it into the bowl. the flour shot back up into my face once making contact with my face, causing me to jump back in shock. kihyun snapped his head towards me in concern, his face quickly showing humor. my face started to burn red, my lips formed into a pout. "ya~ don't laugh." , "maybe you should be more careful." he remarked. i squinted my eyes in annoyance and grabbed a handful of flour. he turned his back towards me once again, chuckling and shaking his head. i coiled my arm back, throwing the flour towards him.

flour was everywhere. kihyun was frozen, not a single muscle moved. despite my laughter, the hairs on the back of my neck started to stand up in fear. "lee...hoseok." he forced out of his tightly pursed lips. i quickly began to run around the island avoiding whatever kihyun had in store for me. he chased after me as fast as his little legs could carry him. i busted out into a fit of laughter causing me to trip and fall, him tripping on me. "i- uh- sorry." he got off of me, resulting in a relief of weight off of my body. he stood up offering a hand to help me up. i happily obliged, grabbing his hand to pull him into a hug in the process. he was shocked to say nonetheless, but i simply smiled at the contact without the younger knowing. it kind of hurts you know? the love that he's clueless to, but maybe one day that could change. just then, i felt a warm pair of arms hug me back. it was now my turn to be shocked, for he usually doesn't ever hug me back. we pull back, staring into each other's eyes. the moment was serious until he began giggling viciously due to the amount of flour still covering us. a click of a door caused our heads to quickly turn to the sound.

crap.
