Seventeen Dorm

I closed the door of my room behind me before calling Kino. "What's up, bro?" he answered, the calm to my storm.

"I'm so dead," I sat on the bed, defeated.

"Start from the beginning," my BFF entered his therapist mood.

"I can't believe that I slept on her shoulder," he would have seen me cover my face with a pillow if he were here.

"Did you drool on her T-shirt or disclose your bikini kink while sleep talking?" the Pentagon member asked coolly after I downloaded my anxiety on him.

"Be serious!" the other members probably heard me and were probably wondering what was going on.

"So, you didn't deny the bikini kink- interesting," his voice was grave so I guessed that he wasn't joking. "Did Eunha text that she didn't like it?"

"This isn't something you can discuss over a screen," I protested.

"Exactly- apologise to her in person tomorrow," Kino sounded proud of his counselling.

"Thank you for helping me out in your own weird way," I laughed and cut the call before texting my fellow leviathan hunter to meet me tomorrow during lunch.

"I would like to apologise," I had noticed her waiting in front of me at the buffet line.

"You don't have to; we were both unconscious," she referred to our incident in a code that we hoped couldn't be deciphered.

"Thank you, I was so worried about how you felt when it happened," I bowed my head.

"Don't stress about it," the singer smiled before turning her attention to the rice/noodles section.

It was finally our day off and we swam to boot camp. This time, the GFriend member and I entered the same corral, with the same trainees and instructor, practicing the same skills. At the end of the

day, we didn't get our certificates but that was okay. We had our weaknesses and strengths identified so we could working on improving those.

"Is this our routine for the next month?" noona asked as we started our return trip to the surface.

"Yes. I believe that we'll be fully prepared by the time the awards roll around," I nodded, not wanting her to be discouraged.

"Let's do this," her mouth set in a grim fixture and I knew that I wouldn't have to worry.
