"Wake up, pabo!" Jayna yelled as she shook me awake. "We're supposed to be closing up now!"

"Yah, okay okay, I'm awake," I groaned and felt weight on my abdomen. [ Cat's name ] fell asleep on my stomach, apparently. I held him up and set him on the floor, inevitably waking him up, as I stretched and got my bag from the locker labeled with my initials and took off the apron that was part of our "uniform". I got my coat and wore it.

I lifted [ cat's name ] from the floor and put him on my shoulder. He purred and rubbed my cheek with his head. I giggled quietly and pet his head before taking the store keys out of my pocket.

I locked the 'Employees Only' room then walked outside to where Jayna was. I locked the door behind me and pulled down the steel gate that covers the glass of the store and locked it as well.

"You were taking long so I got us some coffee in a nearby store," Jayna said as she gave me a cup of coffee while sipping on her own.

"Thanks," I smiled and shivered a bit when a cold breeze went past us. I sipped on my coffee as we walked back to our homes.

"So what did you and Seventeen talk about?" Jayna said with a sly smile.

"W-well, they just introduced themselves to me . . . " I said as my face started feeling warm. "And they, um, got my number . . ."

"Seriously?!" She gasped. "Okay, I'm staying over your place so I can see what they text you!"

"Fine, but you have to stay quiet about it," I grumbled and kept sipping my coffee.

"I cross my heart and hope to die!" She exclaimed and ran ahead of me on the pavement, being extremely cheerful. "Oh right, I have to text my girlfriend."

"Go ahead," I said, pulling out my house keys from my pocket as we neared my apartment.

Jayna was rapidly texting her girlfriend while I opened the door to my home, pulling her in by her scarf.

I took off my coat and threw my bag onto my couch, getting Jayna's and I's empty coffee cups and threw them into the trash can.

"Okayy, I texted her!" Jayna proclaimed and held up her phone while stretching. "Also I bought some ramyun a while ago so we can have that for dinner." She pulled out a paper bag out of her bag.

"Let's eat by the coffee table so we can watch TV," I said, taking the paper bag from her hands and set it on the coffee table and searching under my L-shaped sofa's cushions for the remote.

Jayna sat at the other couch and opened the paper bag, setting two bowls of ramyun on the table alongf with two sets of disposable chopsticks.

"Aha! Gotcha, bitch!" I said under my breath as I pulled out the remote from the cushions and turned on the TV while happily taking my bowl of ramyun and splitting my chopsticks.

"All boy k-pop group, Seventeen, was seen conversing with another male a while ago," The female news anchor said. "We have no idea who he is, however the fans are theorizing that he could be an acquaintance of theirs."

"How the hell did they take those pictures?" I said with a mouthful of noodles. "There was literally no one there but us."

"Maybe one of the waitresses took a picture?" Jayna suggested while quietly slurping some noodles.

"Maybe . . ." I mumbled. My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.

I set down my ramyun and took out my phone, and saw thirteen texts from thirteen unknown numbers.

"Oooh, did your boyfriends text you?" Jayna teased and set down her ramyun as well and sat next to me. "C'mon! Let's see the texts!"

"Fine!" I said and blushed hard while opening my phone.

nam this contanct sclouptas tu befor sc kils me sjsmdmkdn

I named each contact as who they were for. Then I got a call from S.Coups' number [to which I named S.Couptas Tu]. I answered it.

"Hello?" I said, hearing a bunch of shouting and arguing on the other side.

"Ah, hello [Y/N]!" Jeonghan said, panting as if he was running from the loud noises. "Sorry, the kids were fighting."

I laughed. "Kids? Oh! Right, I read that you were the mother of your group." I stood up and walked to the kitchen so Jayna couldn't listen in on our conversation, and I heard her whine.

"Yes, and quite possibly the most normal," He sighed. "They were fighting since Hoshi and Dokyeom took S.Coups' phone and texted you, then they accidentally called you."

"Oh, okay," I laughed quietly. "Well, I suppose you guys should rest, or something. Also, have you guys seen the news?"

"Yes, we have," Jeonghan mumbled. "I think one of our fans must have been hiding and took pictures."

"That seems like a logical explanation," I said. "Anyways, you guys can call me in the morning. I have to set up where my best friend has to sleep today."

"Sure!" Jeonghan said. "I'll try and calm down those rowdy children and such." Both him and I laughed.

"Bye, Jeonghan-hyung," I chriped before dropping the call and returning to the living room where Jayna was finishing up her ramyun.

"So~? How was the talk?" Jayna asked as she reached for my ramyun, knowing I'll never finish it now that it's more lukewarm than hot.

I blushed. "They called me by accident apparently. Hoshi and Dokyeom stole S.Coups' phone to text me his last message."

"I see," Jayna said, slurping up all of the ramyun, then burped loudly. "Excuse me!"

I laughed and got all of our trash and threw it in the trash can.

I got my bag and went to my room and Jayna followed me, doing the same.

I went to one of my closets that were built in my apartment and got the mattress that Jayna usually uses when she's over at my apartment. She got herself a blanket and a pillow from the closet too.

I set the mattress down by my bed and she flopped onto it, having already and somehow magically changed into some of the clothes she left here just in case she stayed here.

I changed into a pair of shorts and a shirt that was a bit too big on me.

"13 boys falling for a dorky gardener," Jayna sighed dreamily. "It seems so cliche but also a bit unimaginable, don't you think?"

I laughed and nodded, before hearing my phone let out a small 'ding' from my bed. I did a running start to my bed and dove for it.

"Already getting goodnight texts?" Jayna cooed. "Aish, you'll be getting asked to be married soon, I'm so happy you're groiwng up!"

"Sh-shut up, pabo!" I screeched and nearly kicked her head with a sock-covered foot. "Just go to sleep!"

"Fineeee~" She said and lied down. "Nightie night!"

"Night, you pervert."
