mark was in the living room, eating cereal with jisung whilst they watched cartoons. they just felt like putting on one of those live streams of classic cartoon marathons. so, they took about fifteen minutes just to find one they liked. mark let his cereal get soggy as he had already filled his bowl. jisung only filled his when they found the stream. saehyun told him that it was god's way of punishing him for pouring the milk in first, before the cereal.
just when mark and jisung had finished their bowls of cereal, the doorbell rang. saehyun yelled from her room, "i'll get it!!" even if it was clearly audible, jaemin still ran out of his room to get it himself. saehyun ran out of his room, only to see him rush to the main door. she stood in the hallway with a look that said 'disappointed but not surprised'.
jaemin opened the door to dongyoung. "oh, hyung!", the younger boy greeted him and stepped aside for him to enter. dongyoung entered, taking off his shoes, and stepping to the dining table. he put down a paper bag and took out a couple pieces of wrapped bread.
"ooh, what's that?", jaemin eyed it, closing the door. "i brought you guys cheese bread," dongyoung answered. "oh, thank you!", mark stood up, putting his bowl on the dining table and picking up the freshly baked goodness, "but.. why?" dongyoung chuckled, "you said you were eating cereal with jisung. i knew you needed more for breakfast." "as expected, doyoung hyung," mark smiled before biting into the bread. mark hummed in satisfaction as he chewed, his eyes widening.
"is it good?", dongyoung asked. "you haven't tried it??", jaemin grinned out of slight disbelief. "no," dongyoung grinned. mark swallowed the mouthful of cheese bread he just had before laughing. he nodded and eyed the bread, "but it is good!" he continued to eat the bread in his hands.
jisung took one for himself as well, sniffing it out of curiosity prior to actually putting it in his mouth. saehyun made a quick trip to the bathroom before walking out to the dining area. "dongyoung oppa! hey," she smiled, greeting him with a brief and subtle hug. "hey," he smiled, "have some bread." "okay," saehyun picked one out of the paper bag, "are they all the same?" "mm, cheese bread," dongyoung nodded.
around noontime...
"why is he there?", miya asked through the phone. "why??", dongyoung spoke up, having have heard miya's words from chenle's phone, "i can't be here?? should i just leave?" chenle laughed as he glanced in between his phone and dongyoung.
"no, she probably just means, like, why did you come now? when she isn't here," donghyuk said. "tch," renjun glanced to saehyun, making her laugh. she knew renjun felt like donghyuk was saying such things in order to cover up his hidden feelings for miya. "ah," dongyoung ignored the two and nodded, "is that so?" "ew," miya said, making chenle laugh again. "what did she say??", dongyoung asked. "nothing!", chenle defended his best friend. but, of course, the bantering just had to go on for about five more minutes.
an hour later...
"did hyunjoon send the party details yet?", saehyun asked from her comfy spot on the smaller sofa. "not yet," jaemin said, scrolling through his twitter feed. "excuse me, party details??", dongyoung looked to them with curious eyes, swallowing the cookie sandwich snack he was eating.
"you know our friend, hwall? he invited us to another party," donghyuk said. dongyoung nodded slowly, "and you're going?" "yeah," saehyun nodded, "we're going." renjun nodded along, sipping from his chocolate milk drink. "oh," dongyoung pursed his lips, "okay."
renjun let out a sigh, "just say it." "don't get yourselves into any trouble," dongyoung started. "grab the popcorn," jaemin nudged jisung and pointed to the kitchen, making jisung look at jaemin in confusion– then wonder if he was being serious or not. jaemin nodded at him, making the younger boy scramble to the kitchen with a grin on his face.
later into the afternoon...
dongyoung had just left. everyone was just scattered within the dorm. jihae and chunhua were watching youtube videos on the tv whilst jisung and jeno were on the longer sofa, showing each other videos on their phones.
mark was in the shower, getting ready to go to school. he had a class in a couple of hours, he had better go soon. the others were in their rooms, most likely just on social media or something like that.
jaemin got texts from hyunjoon, making him sit up in his bed. he opened the app, to be greeted by messages informing him that hyunjoon has got the party details settled already.

jaemin got up and out of his bed with a grunt. he made his way out of his room and went into jeno's, only to see that he wasn't in there. he moved to saehyun's, and she was in there.
"don't you knock??", saehyun asked him, sitting up on her bed. "you're decent anyways," jaemin sat next to her. "that's not the point," saehyun sighed, "never mind. what?" "i got the party details," jaemin said, showing her his chat with hyunjoon. saehyun read the information and nodded, "okay, the fourteenth, seven to god knows when, got it." jaemin nodded and got back up, walking to renjun's room, not forgetting to close saehyun's door behind him.
"injoon-ah," jaemin walked into renjun's room. renjun, like saehyun, sat up in his bed, "oh??" "i have the details," he said, sitting next to the smaller boy and showing him the chat. renjun let his eyes scan the words displayed on jaemin's phone, "oh, okay." renjun nodded and jaemin left for donghyuk's room, closing renjun's door as he left.
"donghyuk-ah, i have the party details," jaemin went straight to sitting on donghyuk's bed. he was getting faster with showing them the party details. "why did you have to come into my room?", donghyuk was still laying down. he sat up, "did you do this with everyone??" "yeah, except jeno because he's not in his room," jaemin said, sounding more casual than supposed to. donghyuk gave him a weirded out look and chuckled a bit, "you could have just sent the details– or even just a screenshot in the gc, you know?" jaemin gave him an almost blank stare before continuing, "the party is on the fourteenth, it starts at seven p.m., and ends god knows when." with that, he just got up and left, not bothering to close the door. donghyuk groaned, "why didn't you close the door?!"
jaemin looked into the kitchen to see if jeno was there. after seeing that he wasn't, he walked to the living area, where he was with jisung. he sat next to his fellow '00 liner and showed him the text from hyunjoon without saying a word. jeno 'aahh'ed, feeling as if he's just gained knowledge– which, technically, he had.
jaemin nodded before heading back into his room. he closed his bedroom door and got back into his bed, under the covers. then, he took that nap he was planning to have since over an hour ago.
