it was around 9 pm when seorin arrived at the boys' dorm to cook for her boyfriend. she called jisung to open up the door for her, which he did as soon as she told him to. he was waiting for her at the door.

"dude, you look so good- oh!" she gasped as he pulled her inside and closed the door. he brought her straight into a hug and bent down to rest his head on her shoulder
"are you okay, ji?" she said, rubbing his back and playing with his hair with the other hand

he only hummed and re-adjusted his head, his nose now tickling her neck
"just missed you," he mumbled

his breath was warm on her neck, sending tingles down her spine and sparks inside her mind. her heart picked up its pace, and her stomach churned in anticipation
"i missed you too, love" she smiled

"you guys are always hugging each other, oh my god" they heard haechan huff from somewhere inside the dorm
"be thankful they aren't doing anything else" chenle added

and so, all the boys began making comments
"they're babies, chenle" -jaemin
"they're grown adults, jaem" -renjun
"but they're still innocent and pure at heart" -mark, with an endearing tone
"I'm not sure about seorin but jisung certainly isn't" -jeno

the pair pulled away from the hug, the taller with a sigh, and took note of their surroundings to see his room-mates all gathered around, watching the two

"are you guys spying on us?" seorin asked
"whaaat? no pfffft" renjun answered, chuckling awkwardly at the end
"yeah we were" chenle shrugged, earning a smack from the older chinese

"it's kinda sad because you don't have your own girlfriends so you spy on me and my own," jisung shook his head
"hey it isnt because we're all single, it's because we're making sure" haechan defended
"making sure... of what?"
"just... you know. making sure"
"well, have you made sure yet?"
"yes?"
"then please go back to your rooms," the youngest of the boys smiled but he sounded desperate as he said his words

the boys definitely had a bigger dormitory than the girls. the girls had 2 rooms whereas the boys had 3 but more spacious rooms.
jisung and chenle shared a room, with two single beds for each of them. renjun, jaemin and jeno shared their room too, with a bunk and single bed. and mark and haechan shared a room with the same layout as chenji's room.

the boys scattered to their own rooms and seorin couldn't help but notice how the dorm was definitely cleaner than what she had seen that morning with meihui

"jaemin hyung had us all clean up the dorm. he said when you and mei came over this morning the dorm looked like a pigsty and had us clean everything up because it embarrassed him," jisung said, he noticed how seorin's eyes wandered around the dorm in wonder

"it's really cool in here," her eyes wandered off to the small pictures of all the boys taken years apart but in the same pose. she walked closer to the shelf where they rested, "those are so cute"

he walked over to her as a smile crept up his face and his tone changed to a more nostalgic one, "we've known eachother for the longest time. my hyungs mean a lot to me, even though i think I don't do a good job showing it. but i really don't know what i would do without them all. just the thought of the absence of even one of them scares me."

"I'm glad you have them, ji. I'm sure they know you love them a lot, and i know this with certainty that they love you just as much- seeing as you guys have been friends for so long, you must've bonded over so many different things, seen eachother at your highs and lows. its a really beautiful relationship to have with your friends"

"it's really special," he looked at her but she was a step ahead, already looking at him with a small smile on her face but her eyes were twinkling with love for him.
