DEEP TROUBLE [KTH]

~11~

A little mischief

The boy blankly stares at the ceiling, hands resting on top of his stomach as he listens to the sound of his breathing, which he had never paid attention to until now. Somehow, his deep breaths resonate and fill the silence in the room, and if he listens closely, he can hear her breaths too.

Out of the corner of his eyes, the boy briefly shifts his gaze to the sleeping girl, who tirelessly rests next to him, her hair covering part of her face.

Judging by the quietness and stillness of the apartment, his other friend Namjoon is still asleep too.

With a puff of air escaping his lips, the boy slowly props himself up, carefully slipping out of the bed as carefully as possible so as to not wake the girl.

What to do, what to do?

The boy thinks to himself gently taping his chin, eyes wondering around the living room as he looks for something to entertain himself while his friends rest.

Usually they would be up by this time, but he noticed that on certain days his friends slept in a little longer than usual.

Swinging his arms back and forth, the boy walks around the apartment, an idea coming to mind as an object briefly sparkles in the kitchen counter.

That might do... He thinks to himself with a smile.

Hours later, the girl wakes up, slightly panicking when she sees the empty spot on her bed, the apartment too quiet for her taste.

Rubbing her eyes, the girl quickly gets up and looks around the apartment, smiling in relief when she sees the boy sitting on the couch.

"Morning V." She greets, the boy slightly jumping when he hears her voice.

The boy waves back, but quickly turns back to the screen, his hand placed on the same spot as he moves.

Okayy then...

Was it her or was he acting a little weird?

With a shrug, EunHae continues with her daily routine, her thoughts lingering on the boy in the living room.

As EunHae brushes her teeth, she slightly jumps when she feels something rub against her foot, backing away with a few jumps in case it's an insect, but much to her surprise she finds something else instead.

With a frown, the girl dries her hands and crouches down on the floor, her eyes inspecting the object as she picks it up.

A strand of hair? She thinks to herself deepening her frown, and then in a split second, everything comes together.

"V?" She calls out, holding the strand of hair in her hand as she approaches the boy.

The boy swallows hard, but turns around giving her a sheepish smile. She doesn't need to say anything, looking at her he knows.

He got caught.

He was only supposed to trim his hair a bit but he ended up chopping up a bigger piece of hair instead.

Judging by the guilty look on the boy's face, EunHae realizes that he knows what she wants to ask him, so he slowly lowers his hand to reveal his choppy hair.
