!starter for @jmkrs (washer/dryer buddies always finding the other’s pair of socks, underwear, etc. in their basket after they get home)
Baekhyun, for someone with such a huge affinity for clothing and finicky taste, despises the days it comes down to cleaning his laundry. He has definitely been putting it off for too long, considering how his wardrobe has been thinning and looking rather sparse lately, but he would have kept stalling in committing himself to his apartment floor’s laundry room for a few hours if more fashionable clothing had been left. In a few days time he would be stuck in a t-shirt and sweatshirt ensemble like the one he’s wearing now for outdoor attire. Just the thought of it makes a shudder run down his back.
He stacks up three baskets of clothing and undergarments but only takes two with him to the laundry room since it’s all he can carry, goes through his chores routine begrudgingly as he tosses the clothing from one basket into one of the several washers that line the walls. He doesn’t have any companions going about their chores with him, guesses Sundays aren’t laundry days for everyone, until a girl slips into the room with her own laundry bag in tow. Baekhyun pauses in starting up the first machine as his eyes follow her, a polite smile spread across his lips in recognition and greeting.
He has seen her around before, remembers that a pair of her socks had nearly gotten mixed with his own when she missed taking them out with the rest of her clothes and Baekhyun had gone to use the same washing machine after. He also realizes he’s going to be here for a while watching his clothes-- he couldn’t just leave them, his clothes were expensive-- so he turns on the one washer before grabbing his other basket and making his way over to the girl at one of the other washers. If Baekhyun’s going to be in here for the long run, he might as well try to make a friend out of it. “Hey,” he begins, clearing his throat to gain her attention. “Long time no see. Your socks haven’t tried running away from you again in here have they?”
