you woke up when the sun started rising. you yawned and sat up in bed. chenle was fast asleep next to you. you pulled the blanket over him after you had accidentally hogged all of it, again. you quietly got out of bed and cracked the window open.

then, you left the room and went into the kitchen. you grabbed a box of cereal from the countertop and opened one of the cabinets. however, the bowls were on a higher shelf while the plates were on the lower shelf.

you rose onto the balls of your feet and tried reaching for a bowl. once you gave up, you sighed. your apartment was tiny so you didn't have any chairs in the kitchen since you normally ate in the living room.

you walked back to your room and got onto the bed. you grabbed chenle and shook him, "hey."

"mm...what?" chenle opened his eyes and smiled at you, "what's up, baby?"

"can you grab a bowl from the cabinet?" you asked him.

he chuckled, "shortie."

"hey!" you smacked him and he laughed.

"yea, i'll grab you one," he said and got out of bed. you followed him into the kitchen. he easily grabbed a bowl and handed it to you. "there you go, shortie."

"stop it," you pouted. chenle laughed and reached in to kiss your forehead. "you want some?" you asked while lifting the box of cereal.

"i rather have you, but okay," chenle admitted and you started blushing. "ah, you're so cute with you're blushing."

"you're annoying," you said and opened the fridge. chenle hugged you from behind. you grabbed the milk jug, but realized that the milk was expired. "welp, looks like i'm not having cereal." you looked at chenle, "sorry for waking you. go back to bed."

chenle shook his head, "it's okay. we can go shopping once the store opens. how about we go get breakfast?"

"but it's five in the morning, i'm sure you rather get some sleep," you said to him and threw the jug away before closing the fridge. you faced him and played with his hair while his arms were still wrapped around you.

"i'm fine as long as i'm with you," chenle smiled. "i'm going to take a shower to help me wake up. don't leave without me." he said and pecked your lips before letting go of you.

"if you're still tired, then get some more sleep," you said as he walked out.

"it's fine," chenle responded and headed into the room. you shook your head and went into the living room. you turned the tv on and channel surfed until you got to the news channel. then, you started cleaning up a bit since the guys made a mess last night when they came over.

chenle had finished showering and came out wearing shorts and a t-shirt. he dried his hair with a towel while you continued cleaning.

you looked outside the window in your kitchen and saw the sun rising, "sun's coming up," you mentioned and looked behind you. chenle nodded his head and threw the towel onto the couch. "hey, don't throw the towel on the couch. i just cleaned up the mess you guys made last night."

"i'll put it in the hamper, promise," he said and approached you. you washed your hands in the kitchen sink. "i think the breakfast place near the bank is open now. let's get some food," chenle suggested.

you nodded, "okay." you left the kitchen and went into the bedroom to grab a hoodie. you opened a drawer and grabbed one of the many hoodies that you and chenle both owned. you put the hoodie on and closed the drawer before grabbing your phone off of one of the nightstands. "hey, do you have your wallet?" you asked chenle.

"yea, i have it," he answered from outside. you closed the window and left the room. chenle was putting sneakers on and took your sandals out from the shoe shelf. you slipped the sandals on and chenle stood up straight. "ready to go?"

"mhm," you nodded. chenle opened the door and you two headed out of your apartment.
