Chapter 10: NOT AN EARLY BIRD

I woke up as the rays of the radiant sun hit me in the eye, crawling past the curtains of my room. I sat up straight in my bed and rubbed my eyes, stretching out my arms, and then turned around to check the time, "HOW THE HELL!" I yelled out loud as I saw that it was noon. I was supposed to wake up at 5 and wake them at 6, I've messed up things on my first day, Great! I clapped my hands sarcastically for myself before I quickly got up from my bed, washed up, and wore a red t-shirt with black shorts along with a ponytail and ran downstairs, and while in a hurry I accidentally missed the last two steps of the staircase and fell all the way down.

All the members were already up and were doing their respective works. The noise caused due to my abrupt fall had caused everyone to move their attention to me. I got up instantly rubbing my back and walked towards them, bowing down to apologize.

"Looks like you forgot at what time you had to wake up huh?" I turned around to see an angry group of young people, with frowns on their faces.

"I'M SORRY!! I am not used to waking up that early so, I am sorry please don't let Daichi san know, I don't want to lose the job" I said almost on the verge of tears.

"It's not Daichi that you need to worry about" Taehyung scoffed as he walked past me and I furrowed my eyebrows at his comment. "What?" I whispered to myself.

Seeing me perplexed and on the floor, Hobi pulled me up, hugged me, "It's alright, just don't be late the next time"

I was so freaked about the fact that hobi, Jung hobi hugged me!!!! I'll add this to my flex list, however putting aside how I felt I just nodded my head and asked what all I had to do today.

"Well, you should clean up the Maknae line¹'s rooms and the kitchen as well since it's a mess, also clean the garden and wipe the entire ground and first floor. Don't bother trying to open doors that are locked," Namhyuk commanded with one hand in his sweatpants and I listened to him obediently.

//Hyung line is the older members of the group including- Jin, Namhyuk, Yuki, and Hobi//

"We're all going for the dance practice in the basement. So, if you require any guidance just ask us" Kenma said with a chirpy voice and they all then went to the basement. Before leaving Taehyung walked up to me and I glanced up at him.

"Are you alright?" What a switch¹, earlier he was being so pesky and now I could sense the genuine concern in his voice causing me to smile.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking" I was about to bow again but he interrupted my motion by holding me by my arms.

"Don't be so formal with me" he shook his head in denial at my formal gestures and flashed a smile, I nodded back in response.

"I'll be down, call me if you need something" he winked and my heart fluttered, he giggled and walked downstairs while I turned around hoping he didn't see me blush.

Putting my hopeless romantic fantasies aside I started with the kitchen work, and then went upstairs to clean the rooms of the maknae line.

I was shocked with condition of their rooms, when was it last cleaned, I wonder. All the clothes were either on the floor or the bed or the fan. I was still in awe about how in heaven did that particular piece of cloth even reach the fan, other than that all of the things were out of place. I sighed, placing my hands at my waist and walking in to commence the cleaning operation.

"Here goes nothing," I said to myself and started with the work assigned to me.

It took me about 2 hours to clean their room and as soon as I completed the cleaning and was about to rest a little, I heard the sound of someone calling for me.

"Hikari come down here quickly" Taehyung yelled from the basement and I went running downstairs, judging from his commanding voice, it did seem to urgent.

All of them were looking so damn good, they were all sweating due to the vigorous dance practices they were engaged in and their t-shirts were sticking to their bodies giving a good look of their abs, their shirts were see-through.

"Like what you see?" Yuki smirked and scoffed while I instantly looked away, all flustered. I could only fix my eyes at my feet while the rest chuckled.

"Hikari," I looked up and my eyes followed the voice, leading to Taehyung. He was sitting on the floor beside Kenma with one arm resting on his knee while the other beside him, "We're thirsty." he licked his lip seductively before smirking and suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed. Everyone's gaze shifted from being soft and humble, a second ago, to alluring and sensuous. The environment became too intimidating.
