Her eyes dart open.

Shin stares at the ceiling for quite some time with her brain attempting to process.

What was that? Why? I- Nonsensical thoughts rummage in her head as she rolls around on the bed, sighing loudly.

What the heck Ha Shin-seul!? Get yourself together. It was a dream, just a dream. Although a vivid one...

Very little pure images swirl from her memory in front of her eyes, and strong sensations send chills to her spine, the pleasant kind.

She gasps before sitting straight and talking herself into forgetting everything, fully blaming her hormones cycle.

After the initial shock, Shin pulls herself together and hops out of her room, heading into the kitchen to have some morning fuel-aka breakfast cereals.

She reaches for the milk carton and a bowl that she leaves on the counter to open the cupboard on the left top. It's where Jungkook stores the crunchy and overly sugary yumminess.

His friend keeps quite the selection, but Shin has clear ideas and tiptoes for the frosted ones. The box is too high for her height, she stretches her arm and fingers more and more, when suddenly a warm shadow casts from behind her and a sinewy sketched arm appears next to hers.

Jungkook's chest slightly touching her shoulder causes her shivers to travel down her back. He grabs the box she was aiming for, handing it to her with his right hand.

But as she receives the cereals, her eyes are focused primarily on his hand, reminding her of her night fantasy adventure. A flush covers her entire face as she quickly turns around, mumbling a "thanks" for then focus entirely on getting her breakfast ready, never lifting her gaze. How can she after having a wet dream on her best friend?

"What are you doing here?" she asks grumpily.

Jungkook lifts an eyebrow at her strange behaviour.

"What do you mean? In the kitchen or my own home?" he humours.

Shin scoffs. "I mean, shouldn't you be at work? The concert date is close".

"Oh! Well, I get days off too, you know? And today is one of those". The satisfied grin on his face only unnerves her even more.

Great... Plopping on the kitchen stool with furrowed expression, Shin starts poking at the cereals with the spoon.

"Shin-a? Did you not sleep well? Because you seem more testy than usual..."

Shin-seul lifts her gaze on her doe-eyed friend who displays a sincerely curious and concerned look. He doesn't realize that maybe he should have rephrased that question.

Shin glares at him first, and then stands up and walks back into her bedroom, bringing her breakfast, of course. Jungkook stays behind, puzzled by her demeanour.
