#(&kt.)

although they had only been in the same team for the last mga round, there was this feeling of connection to yuri from the fact that they had both been signed to kt at the same time. it made them the newbie duo in the building, so jongin felt that if anything, yuri would relate in situations of distress in this journey of finding out just how many rooms existed in kt’s building.

(jongin has already managed to get himself lost a couple of times, but it’s alright. no one has to know, shh.)

yulhee can’t help but laugh to herself at the sight as she steps into the cafeteria for a late lunch. 

kim jongin fell asleep. what a surprise.

she shakes her head, quick steps leading to the table he shares with no one – but probably did before falling into one of his random deep slumbers. she meant to catch him earlier, give him a big hug and drag him along the kt halls like she did with yeri back in the day, but, as it turns out, mga contestants are highly valuable commodities in an entertainment company, and so jongin (and yuri) have been way too busy for her.

and while that has upset her throughout the morning lessons, now the rapper knows it was fate’s way of providing with some alone time for them.

she could wake him up. she could take his hand and pull him along to wherever she had to go, show him every piece of the building she’s grown to love in the last year and a half… however, another idea suddenly sparked in her mind, one that, usually, would only come around if it was aron sleeping instead.

ah, well. 

the rapper runs out to the lockers and pulls out her favorite glittery pen (pink, obviously). she rushes back and, ever so silently, ever so carefully, moves his head to one side so she has clear access to his forehead. a few quick strokes later and she’s skipping away to another table, humming happily to herself.

                                                         “princess property. ♥”

jongin was never a light sleeper; not only is he capable of falling asleep anywhere and anytime, he falls into slumber like a rock. it takes some nudging to wake him up if he doesn’t do it by himself, and although the stroke feeling provided from the pen was enough to start pulling him out of dreamland, it hadn’t been enough to fully wake him up on the spot.

it takes a moment longer in which jongin scrunches up his nose a little, his brain urging him to go back to the world of the living but his eyes stubbornly wanting to stay closed just for a little while. his brain wins though, and so does the sunlight coming from the cafeteria windows because soon jongin is sitting back up, covering a yawn behind his hand and rubbing at his eyes. falling asleep as one of the newest kt trainees probably wasn’t the best first impression he could give, but after barely getting any sleep due to honest excitement, the craving was too big and he had given in to a nap before he could stop himself.

thankfully it seemed that no one was really around to scold him besides the cafeteria lady who had been nice enough to let him sleep and jongin blinks as he looks around, finding the cafeteria surprisingly empty - apart from a figure sitting nearby. it took only a few seconds for jongin to recognise yulhee in this still half-asleep state of his, and for a moment he wondered if she had seen him already; it would be strange if she hadn’t, but it was strange she didn’t wake him up, either.

jongin was positively sure yeri had yelled at him over the phone for at least two hours after he had finally signed the kt contract, and truth be told, just her excitement alone was more than enough to make jongin feel welcomed to the trainee life. the fact that he was more or less familiar with a few kt trainees already was enough to make him feel at ease, but yeri definitely went the extra mile on that subject - which lead them to the current situation of jongin following the younger girl into the building after they had met together by the doors.
