All Strings Attached

Seungmin left a few seconds after I had said I didn't realize I was moving, mumbling something along the lines of "ok," and "bye" but those were the only words I caught, being lost in thought and all. When he shut the door, I let my gaze linger there for a second. Wondering if he would come back in. But the thought leaves and my drowsiness takes over me, leading me to sleep, once again.

I woke up around 6:45, I did not want to go to school today. School has always been such a terrible thing for me to experience. The only time I recall having a good time at school was when I was in elementary school. I unlocked the phone that Seungmin gave me as soon as I woke up, I was curious what was on it. I looked through the contacts, Seungmin added himself into my phone, and apparently some of his friends as well.

I have no clue who these people are but I would feel bad if I took away all of Seungmins' hard work of putting 8 people in my phone. I finally got up from bed, looking at the time, it was 6:51. I was so not ready but I have about 30 minutes to get ready for school so I might as well start now. I leave the room and find the bathroom. I grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste from my overnight bag before coming to this bathroom. I also grabbed my uniform, shampoo and conditioner.

I lock the bathroom door, and I can feel the slight bit of humidity in the restroom. I'm sure Seungmin used the shower just before me, because it smells just like him. I'm almost tempted to use his products because they smell like him.

Instead of being a creep I use my own products in the shower, after getting out I finally realize my fatal mistake, I didn't bring a towel with me. Which means I have to ask seungmin for one, or go through his drawers to see if he has any spare towels.

I open the bottom cabinets beneath the sink and find absolutely nothing. Luckily I have my phone so I text Seungmin.

Dani: ummm Seungmin

I wait for him to respond, crying on the inside because of how embarrassing this is.

Seungmin: ummmm Dani?
Seungmin: what do you need?
Dani: well, I kind of don't have a towel
Dani: could you bring me one please?
Seungmin is typing...

I was putting on my uniform when my phone vibrated from a message. I normally don't check my phone but I decided to just check now, and get it out of the way. I picked my phone up from my bedside table and checked the notification. It was Danielle, so I immediately responded, because I am a professional simp for her. After she responded, I started typing but just turned my phone off. I just walked to the bathroom after grabbing a towel.

I knocked on the bathroom door
"Yeah?" Dani mumbled, I could almost hear the blush on her face, from embarrassment. She's so adorable.
"I have a towel for you." I say through the door.
"Oh, ok." She opens the door, very slightly, and I get to smell her shampoo, it smells like her but stronger. I almost roll my eyes to the back of my head because of how good she smells. I put the towel through the crack, I feel it slip from my hands to hers as she takes the towel.
"Thanks Seung," She whispers before she shuts the door. I hear her lock it and begin to get ready.

I leave her alone and go back to my room. I layed on my bed, unlocking my phone and texting my group chat, without thinking.

MongMong: Is it bad I almost moaned when I smelled her?
Yongbokie: Excuse me sir what the actual hell?😃👆
Meanho: Who?
Werewolf: Seung, what happened?😭
DramaFerret: don't be shy share some more👀
GymDweakki: Where did that come from 🫢
DumbDongsaeng: Is she hot?
SquirelBoy: ^yeah is she hot?
Werewolf: you guys can't just ask if she's hot.
Meanho:They can if they want to know.
Werewolf: Minho, you aren't helping 🤦
Meanho:What I'm just stating facts
DramaFerret:^
GymDweakki:^^
MongMong: Yes she is hot, but she's mine so don't even think about it.
Yongbokie: idk if we can trust you
Yongbokie: send a pic
MongMong: I don't really have any pictures of her, I'm not weird.
DumbDongsaeng: Yes you are, now send a pic.
MongMong: I'm gonna ignore that^
MongMong: she is coming to school with me so you all will see her soon enough.
SquirelBoy: fine, pinky promise we'll see her today.
MongMong: I'm not doing that, it's dumb.
GymDweakki: It's not dumb, pink promises are sacred 😌
MongMong: Fine, I pinky promise that you will see her today🙄

I turn my phone off and check the time, it's 7:23, so, I decide to go check to see if Dani is ready. I leave my room and head to the one she is in. I knock on the door.
"Come in." She says just loud enough for me to hear her from outside of the door. I walk in and see her putting on a necklace, but it looks like she's having some trouble clasping it. I walk over to her side.
"Do you need some help?" I ask a bit quieter than my normal tone. It's not like I want to be rude to her, it just feels unnatural when I'm nice.

"Um, yeah if you could." she lets out a small, awkward, chuckle. I grab both ends of the necklace and stand behind her, she lifts her hair to allow me access to her neck. I bring the necklace around and I clasp it behind her neck. I heard her let out a breath, like she had been holding it. She turns around and we look into each other's eyes. I'm sure we only looked at each other for a few seconds, but to me, it felt like eternity.

I let out an awkward cough then began talking to her.
"It's time to leave." I tell her, while making successful eye contact... with the floor.
