↳ EARLY BIRDS
the next morning, everyone is fast asleep. seven a.m and the snores are filling the rooms. except for two people, kevin moon who quietly makes his morning coffee. he might even go out to the balcony and take a whiff of the fresh morning air. but once he turns around to walk to the fridge. he sees an unfamiliar face from the living room. kevin slowly steps as if the boy will attack him, opening the fridge he takes the creamer and makes a memey face out of impulse. which makes him laugh.
"good morning." the boy greets, kevin forgets his name so he just smiles back.
"morning."
"hwall hyung right?"
we don't even look the same anymore. kevin internally screams, "it's kevin, but close enough."
"o—oh! s—sorry.." he apologizes, "I thought nobody would be up at this time. usually at the dorms I would be the first one up.."
"same, but you want some coffee?"
he shakes his head, "do you have hot chocolate? coffee will stain my teeth if I don't have a straw. wait, do we have straws?"
"braces?"
"had them on for five years!"
kevin chokes, "excuse me! what! how old are you?"
"I'm seventeen." jeongin states, "supposedly I'm the youngest and sane. I forgot to say but I'm jeongin."
"lucky you got put with the sane people, supposedly I'm a hoe."
"what's that? and obviously whoever made the rooms made a mistake for the names, channie is far from sane. I'll fix it hold on.."
"a—a gardening tool.." kevin quickly says, he also ignores his last comment,"but hey? aren't adolescents suppose to get at least nine hours of sleep. wouldn't you want to sleep in?"
"I know, of course I get nine hours of sleep! I went to bed at nine last night, so that would be ten for me."
"you're quite perky aren't you."
"and I've seen your predebut youtube videos."
the life in kevin's eyes are drained, "we don't talk about it.."
"it's okay, we all have dark pasts." jeongin then leaves to go to his room. he finds a black marker and fixes the paper that says. ROOM 1; THE SANE
he puts I.NSANE and smiles, kevin who watches behind him sips his coffee. "you're gonna get in trouble."
"here comes trouble, quoting the one and only girls generation." jeongin pops his mouth and puts the cap back on the marker. "look, I'm the youngest and the baby. so I can't get in trouble."
"are you sure about that?"
"I'm sure mr. moon."
"whatever you say, do you still want that hot chocolate?"
"I kinda want waffles." jeongin replies, "you're from canada. don't you like drenching breakfast foods in maple syrup?"
kevin stays silent for a little, clicking his tongue. "no.."
"well, I want waffles."
"and what if I can't make them?"
"duh, we take chan's card and get someone to deliver. do you like your waffles with strawberries, any whip?" as he takes a hold of the doorknob.
"isn't it rude to take someone's money without asking?"
"and do you want waffles? yes or no."
"yes.."
"channie told me I can use it when there's emergencies."
"waffles is one?"
kevin's stomach then grumbles.
"yup, because you seem to be starving. coffee won't fill you up but it will fill the toilet later. don't worry hyung, I'll make sure you won't get in trouble!"
jeongin disappears quietly into the room, kevin sighs. walking back to the kitchen to wash his cup. what an interesting boy? is all he can think.
"kevin hyung! it'll be here in about thirty minutes, do you want to watch spongebob with me?"
kevin wipes his wet hands, "I'm more of an adventure time guy."
"we can watch whatever then. it's our bonding time since we don't know each other that well."
"sure."
sitting on the couch, jeongin sets up the TV and they watch until they hear a knock on the door. jeongin specifically told the delivery person to knock because the doorbell would definitely wake up everyone.
so once the delivery person comes, jeongin grabs the boxes and gives one to kevin. the older thanking him, they eat and laugh. jeongin pointing at the TV cutely whenever something weird happens.
kevin has to admit, but he's having a good time with jeongin. though their age difference, kevin still feels like a teen. he kinda looks like one so it doesn't really matter.
they think their bonding time will last until ten since all the members are tired. until a door opens. it's from room two and kevin looks down at his half eaten waffles.
oh.
OH.
"I—think this was a bad idea?"
"why?" jeongin asks.
"him." he quietly points to the half asleep boy.
as both jeongin and kevin look towards the boy in the pink pig onesie. kevin covers his ears.
"YOU BOUGHT FOOD AND DIDN'T EVEN OFFER ANY TO ANY OF US!" haknyeon screams, which immediately wakes up everyone.
and of course, the boys would do anything for food.
