Minkwang's eyes flutter open and he sits up slowly. Yawning, he stretches and his shirt rides up to reveal a hint of skin. He remains still for a minute, letting his eyes adjust to the darkness of the room. A light snore breaks through the silence and
Minkwang merely scoffs. Jaemin is still fast asleep with his back against Minkwang. The leader rolls his eyes and wearily
drags himself out from under the comforting sheets on his bed. He groggily shuffles to the bathroom and do his business.
The room is dead silent until the door creaks open and in comes Sungjin. The boy hops into Jaemin's bed and buries
himself beneath the sheets. He sighs contentedly and stares up at the ceiling. Sungjin ducks beneath the sheets when he hears the toilet flushing and the sound of the tap running. Peeking out from beneath the sheets, Sungjin sees Minkwang exiting the bathroom with his toothbrush in his mouth.

"Kwangie hyung," he starts and Minkwang almost chokes on his toothbrush. He glares at Sungjin who only smiles sheepishly in return.

"Sungjin, get the heck out of my bed before I do it myself," says Jaemin sleepily as he turns around to look at said boy. When the boy does not budge, he raises his hand and Sungjin is on Minkwang's bed at once.

"I don't get why you're so easily threatened," Jaemin chuckles, the sleepiness evident in his voice.

"Maybe you should stop threatening him then," Minkwang comes out of the bathroom, drying his hands with his towel. He
takes his clothes and goes back in. The other two then hear the shower starting.

"Want to go wake up the other members?" Jaemin asks, rubbing his eyes. Sungjin nods and they're out of the room. It's no
surprise when they find Wonsoo awake and watching tv in the living room. He's always an early riser. Sungjin grins and
waves happily at his room-mate. Wonsoo gives him a peach sign since his eyes are glued to whatever's on the tv. Jaemin
and Sungjin go into the room that Joonshik and Seunghoon share.

"Rise and shine, shining stars!" Sungjin yells. He ducks just in time when Seunghoon throws a pillow at him.

"Get up, get up!"

"Go away!" Joonshik's muffle yell comes from under the pillow. Sungjin rolls his eyes and snatches the pillow. He leans down
and yells into Joonshik's ear, "GET UP, YOU LAZY ."

Jaemin laughs at Sungjin's way of waking people up. He goes over to Seunghoon's bed and pats his .

"Yah, Hoon. Time to get up," he sings. The 20 year-old bats away his hand and tells him to get lost. Joonshik is already up,
mumbling that he'll be deaf if Sungjin is to ever wake him up again. Sungjin grabs hold of Joonshik's wrist and hoists him up.

"Go freshen up!" He chirps and shoves Joonshik into the bathroom. Jaemin snorts and tells Seunghoon to get ready before
he leaves the room. He knocks on the door to Gilbeom and Hyunae's room and isn't surprised to see Gilbeom already making her bed when he opens the door. Gilbeom flashes him a smile and he gives a small smile in return. Looking at the sleeping Hyunae, Jaemin surpresses a groan. Hyunae dislikes waking up too early in the morning and the clock on the wall shows it's only a quarter past six.

"I'll wake her up later," Gilbeom says helpfully. Jaemin shoots her a grateful smile and shuts the door gently with a soft click. He sees Francoise and Jaechan exiting their room with droopy eyes and is confused since the two absolutely love sleeping.
When Sungjin comes out from their room, Jaemin snorts.

"What did he do?"

"Started imitating a siren and wouldn't stop unless we woke up," Jaechan shoots a dark glare at Sungjin which the boy
easily ignores.

"He's a boy of wonders," Jaemin chuckles.

"Not only that. He also woke Jooyoung and Jiyen unnie," says Francoise.

"He was that loud?"

"You'll be surprised," Jaechan mumbles and groggily makes her way to the kitchen. Jaemin smiles but it soon turns into a
frown when he realizes who he's supposed to awake next. Those two sleep like the dead and it's really hard for them to
get out of bed easily.

"Minnie hyung, don't worry! I got this," Sungjin winks at him and bursts into Hyunmin and Ryu's room.

"RISE AND SHINE, SUNSHINES!"

Ryu doesn't even budge and Hyunmin only snores louder. Their room is the only room with bunk beds so they have more
space to put their stuff. Ryu sleeps on top while Hyunmin sleeps at the bottom.

"Look at the mess," Jaemin sighs as his eyes take in the sight of clothes scattered on the floor.

"How're you doing with these two?" Minkwang pops in as he pulls on a shirt. Jaemin shakes his head and Sungjin only frowns
in response.

"Ryu ah," Minkwang pats the boy's cheeks gently and he's not even surprised when Ryu doesn't even move in his sleep. Usually, he'll come back again in 5 minutes but since they have an important event today, he needs everyone to be ready
as soon as possible. Sighing, he pulls Ryu into a sitting position and the boy's eyes open blearily. Ryu whines and kicks his legs, saying he wants more sleep. Minkwang ignores him and takes the boy's clothes from his wardrobe. Hyunmin is gone along with his bed sheets. Sungjin and Jaemin gave up on trying to wake up so they just carried him out. Minkwang
puts Ryu's clothes on Hyunmin's bed and tells the boy to get ready.

"We have a Q&A session today, baby. Hurry up," Minkwang urges. Ryu crawls over to the ladder and puts his feet on the
top step. He doesn't go down the ladder though.

"Forget it," Minkwang takes Ryu's clothes and goes out, leaving the maknae asleep on top of the ladder. He comes back moments later and switches off the light to the bathroom. Minkwang stands in front of Ryu and without a warning, he throws the boy over his shoulders and carries him out of the room.

There you have it. The first part of the first chapter. If you're confused about the room-mate pairings, here:

Minkwang & Jaemin
Joonshik & Seunghoon
Sungjin & Wonsoo
Ryu & Hyunmin
Gilbeom & Hyunae
Jaechan & Francoise
Jooyoung & Jiyen

I paired them up by writing their names on pieces of paper and draw them out randomly. I'll have the pictures of the dorm up in the group's official
website that's coming soon. Also, Minkwang calls Ryu 'baby' because it's like his given nickname. You'll see why soon, haha.
