NOVEMBER: WEEK 2/ SUNDAY

THIRD PERSON POV

Onew, Kyuhyun, and Minho went over to Minseok's house in the morning just like every other weekend. Minseok's parents left early to meet up clients for breakfast. Minho and Kyuhyun went with Changmin to get donuts while Onew stayed behind since he shouldn't be out for so long, the days are starting to get cold. Minseok slowly heads down the stairs that lead to the kitchen, leaning on the wall and holding onto dear life on the rail.

Onew takes out the coffee beans from the top cabinet and looks over to the hungover Minseok, "Hey Min"

Minseok tries to fix his posture, "Good Morning." Minseok holds onto and leans on the fridge. Onew opens the bag of coffee beans, "What's wrong with you?"

"No- nothing- I- I'm great"

Onew looks at Minseok, "You're hungover-"

"No, I'm not," Minseok shakes his head and heads to the dining table

"Don't try to play me. I've seen a lot of people wake up with hangovers"

Minseok takes a seat, "Please keep it down, okay"

Changmin, Kyuhyun, and Minho enter from the back door. "Hey! What's up, sleepyhead," Changmin softly hits the back Minseok's head. Minseok eyes widen but he tries to hide the pain.

"Oh, Jinki. I can grind the coffee," Kyuhyun says and points to the chair to Onew. Onew smiles and sits next to Minseok and opens the magazine he brought with him

"I want a milkshake," Onew pouts.

"Oh, me too. Who else?" Changmin asks, heading to the fridge

"No, thank you," Minseok softly mutters

Changmin opens the freezer, "Aw, damn. Mr. Moon! I thought you were gonna call to fix the ice maker!" Changmin bangs the ice tray on the counter and Kyuhyun starts the coffee grinder, sending pain to Minseok's ears.

"Mr. Moon! Did you hear me?! It's frozen solid!" Changmin continues to bang the tray and Kyuhyun is still grinding the coffee beans

"I think it's his day off, Chang," Minho says as he gets a beer from the fridge

"IN THE NAME OF GOD, please stop that now," Minseok begs

Minho, Changmin, and Kyuhyun stop what they're doing and turn to Minseok. "What's wrong with you?" Kyuhyun asks

Minseok straightens his back, "I don't know, I think I might have a touch of the flu"

Onew closes the magazine and looks at Minseok, "The Booze Flu"

"What," Kyuhyun asks

"Minseok, were you drinking?" Changmin asks

"Uh, no. Can't I be sick without being hungover?" Minseok lies. Minho walks over to Minseok and puts his open beer bottle under Minseok's nose. Minseok gags and has a baby barf

"Oh my god! He- he's hungover!" Minho yells

"Please don't yell at me. It hurts," Minseok says

"I thought you said you went on a date with Jimin," Changmin says

"I did. But after, we went over to Namjoon's place and he was having a party and well... one thing lead to another- I – I had a drink," Minseok explains

Minho rolls his eyes, "Oh, you had one drink?"

Changmin bangs the ice tray repeatedly. "Okay-okay-okay-okay! I had two drinks," Minseok says
