"Hm~... Hmm~... Hm~... Hmmm~"

Joon hummed to himself fresh out of the shower,, he hummed his mother's favourite song which clashed with the music he was already playing in the bathroom. Though he ended up starting to hum the song that was playing on his phone instead.

Looking in the mirror Joon pushed his wet fringe back staring at himself for a few seconds ignoring the slight bruises on his neck from his previous fight with Hyang-hee before sliding his hand to his shoulder turning his back to the mirror and looking at his bare back. A few specks of small scars barely there anymore here and there on his smooth, slightly skin, not too tan or pale.

Looking over his shoulder at the scars left a bitter taste in his mouth at the memory of how he'd gotten them, but he shook the thoughts away, turning to face the mirror again, opening the cabinet next to him to grab his skin care out.

Bzzz Bzzz

Joon sighed, putting down the bottle of cleansing foam looking over at his phone ignoring the Spotify playlist showing what was currently playing and looked at the message below it to see a text from Ha-na.

Ha-na:

'Ready to go when you are, come over to Eonnie's noodle shop and we'll catch a taxi from there.'

Sent five seconds ago

Joon:

'Will be over in 30 minutes. I need to finish up getting ready x'

Sent one second ago

Joon replied to Ha-na before grabbing the cleansing foam, squeezing some into his hands before rubbing them. After finishing with his routine of cleansing foam, cleansing lotion/toner and cream he brushed his teeth now rushing not wanting to keep Ha-na waiting, especially because of where they were going.

Washing his tooth brush he put it back in the holder he had it in along with where his toothpaste was moving to leave the bathroom that led to his bedroom where he went to pick out his clothes he'd wear.

Ending up putting on a black and white long sleeved jumper with a low collar showing off his collar bones slightly and paired with plain black pants. Before moving towards his phone pocketing it and pushing his fringe back again which was useless as it fell back into his eyes curling up the slightest as every Counter curly/wavy hair trait made it do.

Grabbing a pair of pink-tinted shades on his way out but halted moving looking at it for a few seconds with memories passing through his mind, his mother's gift of pink shades that had since been shattered, not shattered during the fire but a different time kept in it's black case hidden away in Joon's bedroom. Clearing his tightened throat Joon put the shades on, thinking about how he should hurry up before he gets a call from an impatient Ha-na.

Finally leaving his apartment, locking it behind himself before making his way towards the elevator shooting Ha-na another text that he was on the way to the noodle shop right then. Moving in, he closed the door taking a sharp breath in remembering the fight he'd had against Hyang-hee with Mun and Ha-na. Though his apartment elevator wasn't white it was the opposite sleek black with marble patterns and mirror only at the back of the elevator.

While in the elevator he checked his other texts, smiling at the group chat he'd recently been added to that was with Mun, Ju-yeon and Ung-min, Also noting Mae-ok asking him if he was actually studying for school and Mo-tak texted him he was off doing stuff with a detective officer Jeong-yeong for some random case. Joon had enough time to text everyone back before the elevator opened up to his apartment's lobby.
