Jaerim unconsciously entered the bathroom as he hide from ghost of his past. He however didn’t notice that it’s a female’s bathroom albeit fortunate that there’s no one in there. The police officer rested his spine on the door, and placed a palm on his chest as he catch his breath, slowly and careful not to get a heart attack. He wiped the mess of sweat on his forehead, slowly calming down when a woman from one of the stall caught his presence and called him out. Surprised, rather unknown to respond, he covered his mouth. It’ll be a disaster if the latter figured out he’s a male in a bathroom for women (which he just realized by now), he looked around to find some roll of tissue but he couldn’t find any. “Ah” He uttered in a fake female voice. “There’s no tissue in here. Sorry”

The other girl’s complaint didn’t fall to deaf ears, and Jo quickly wrapped her arm around the latter, rubbing her arm soothingly as if to coax the dizziness away if that even helps. “Sssh, there there. So it seems like you have low alcohol tolerance– Why’d you even drink that much, jeez?” 

Minho blinked a few times at the other, a little taken back by the question; was this some sort of pick up line? He didn’t remember giving this person his number at all, nor did he think he remembered who this person was. “I.. No? I mean.. I’ve had the same number for years now,” he said, rubbing his neck with a bit of a chuckle.

Leaning back against the piled cushions against the wall, she tilted her head at the message blinking against her screen, tapping on it before the text disappeared completely. A soft chuckle falls past her lips, assuming that the sender was being sarcastic, playing a joke–all since she had asked chanmi for the older’s number and began pestering her unni the moment she could.

[ SMS; Seolhyun ]

↳ …of course i’m texting you, unni. heol.

↳ i’m going to keep texting you until you reply backkkkkkk.

↳ at least it worked! come plaaaaaaay with meeeee. do you have the time?

     * My eyes closed as my body hit the mattress. Today has weirdly been a slow day and as I laid down beside my phone I prayed for a vibration or a sound of some sort to keep me occupied. My wishes were answered when a chime went off and I rolled around to grab the thin smart phone. 

[ ✉ sᴇᴏʟʜʏᴜɴ ] → i’m actually really stuck. [ ✉ sᴇᴏʟʜʏᴜɴ ] → but what’s the problem

Ah Seolhyun-ssi ! It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. ( `tips his head in a small bow. ) Ah, you are? I’m glad to hear that. Do I happen to be your favorite member or…? ( `grins playfully before shaking his words off with a small bob of his head. ) I’m a fan as well ! And daresay, your new drama was quite fun to watch.

     “Oh, no! Were you caught looking at adult videos again, Seolhyun-ah?”Innocence is portrayed heavily in the way she lets her lashes bat daintily while speaking, but the mischievous smile her lips are pulled into contradicts. Fingers pinch the straw into place as her head ducks down a little to sip at the cup of bubble tea clutched in her free hand, which is melting rapidly in the late summer heat. A small break between schedules is what the two girls are on, and though Taeyeon is teasing the younger, she is shocked to hear that the company has taken her phone away. One of the many cons of being a new idol is having absolutely no control whatsoever. Entertainment companies are known to often treat their artists like helpless little infants, and control is something that is earned over the years. But even Taeyeon and her group, after all of these years, are seldom granted the freedom they deserve.

    “That explains why you didn’t answer my SMS last night. When will staff return your phone? ”

    * “Yah... unnie.” I manage to squeeze out between my gritted teeth. Even if she was my sunbae, we grew close enough to where the age difference was the only thing that far in our relationship-- aside from that we were like sisters! “I don’t do that kind of stuff! You’re the lonely one.” I said with brows arching downwards that defined my glare. How can she act like the innocent one when she’s the trouble-maker between the two of us. “It got taken away because they think I got a boyfriend or something... they thought you were my boyfriend since I was texting all night! They’re acting worse than my parents.” I said, throwing my head back and stomping on the cement floor. “Anyways!” I started pursing my lips outwards, sort of a kissy face in a way. “Let me try your drink!” 

With a frown visible onto her features , the girl laughed awkwardly while bowing her head a few times at the people that passed by , once in a while whispering out a ‘sorry’. The other’s yell kind of drawn attention , probably too much attention. Her hand quickly wrapped around the girl’s as she pulled her onto the side. ❛The fact that you just yelled into this crowded area seems like the otherwise.❜
