OCTOBER: WEEK 1/ FRIDAY

THIRD PERSON POV

Baekhyun wakes up with a bruise on his head. He can't remember what happened last night after arriving at the nightclub. He does his usual morning routine and texts Chanyeol. Chanyeol informs Baek he's not going to school today because he has a hangover.

Right when Baek was about to leave his room, he hears a soft knock

"Come in, Bom," he knows it's her. She's the only that comes and sees him. Baekbeom left again to the U.S and won't be back till probably November. His mother is busy with taking over the company so he barely sees her around the house and Sungjae has been out partying with his friends every day so usually when Baek sees him, Sungjae's dead tired and either wants to get something to eat or sleep.

"Baek, how are you feeling? Kyungsoo carried you here"

"Not so good. The bump on my head still hurts"

"What did you and Chanyeol do yesterday?"

Baek blushes and averts her glare, "Nothing- I think. I can't remember"

"Here," she holds his chin and inspects his face. Then she sighs, "Oh thank goodness, you're still a virgin"

Baek knits his eyebrows, "How-"

"I just know these things. Trust me"

Baekhyun believes her so he feels relieved. I would want to remember my first time with Chanyeol... whenever that may be

"Bom. I would like to ask you something?"

"Sure anything. Just gotta keep an eye out on the time for when the laundry is done"

They take a seat next to each other on Baekhyun's bed.

Baekhyun swings his feet back and forth and avoids eye contact, "Kinda of a weird time to be doing laundry isn't it?" He shrugs, "Well, I guess you gonna do it sometime cuz then your weird if you don't"

Bom knits her eyebrows and looks at Baekhyun, "What?"

"Chanyeol and I haven't exactly done... laundry yet"

"What? No- no one expects you two to do your own laundry. Why are you so worried about the laundry?"

Baekhyun scratches the back of his neck, "Chanyeol and I have been together for almost four weeks. We're supposed to have done our laundry. Everybody's done it. Minho's done it. Kyungsoo has done it. Sehun and Luhan are like freaking laundromats"

"Baek, what are you-"

"Follow the freaken breadcrumbs, Hansel! I haven't had sex with Chanyeol yet!"

Bom puts the pieces together and looks at Baekhyun, "What?"

"Am I weird? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No- no- no, sweetie," Bom hugs Baekhyun. She looks up at the ceiling and whispers thank you before turn her attention back to Baekhyun. "Here's what you need to do."

Bom releases the hug and looks at Baekhyun. So, she changes her mind, "You know what. You... you will figure it out"

"What? That's your big advice? What happened to the overprotective- all up in my face Bom, who didn't let me play with my porcelain doll because she thought that the doll made bad choices"
