Seokjin woke up to sunshine wreaking havoc on his eyes and uncomfortably tight blankets. He blinked blearily, watching an ant trundle across the wall.

What’s the time, Mr. Wolf?

Seokjin managed to wrestle one arm out of the blankets and pat around the top of the desk for his phone. Instead, his fingers found something soft and spongy. Confused, he turned his head towards the desk and saw two beady eyes staring at him.

Seokjin gave an almighty yell as he scrambled backwards out of the bedsheets, hitting the wall with his back. An intruder!

He fumbled around under the bedsheets for a potential weapon, when he saw-

   -an alpaca, bathing in sunlight and staring sweetly at him from the desk.

Seokjin froze, feeling stupid. He clapped a hand over his forehead and sighed, shaking his head. What are you, an idiot? It’s just an plushie!

He reached over and grabbed the alpaca, drawing back in confusion when a metallic jingle reached his ears. He looked at the plushie and noticed his car keys looped over one of the alpaca’s ears. Seokjin frowned. How did they get there?

He pulled the keys off the alpaca. Eh, I’ll figure it out later.

Seokjin got out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom, dropping the keys on the kitchen counter. Moving to the sink, he splashed his face and scrubbed at his eyes, trying to dispel the gritty feeling of sticky eyelids. After wiping his face dry, Seokjin plucked his toothbrush from a cup by the tap and ran it under cold water, then squeezed a line of minty-fresh toothpaste onto it.

Staring into the mirror at his dark circles and thoroughly scrubbing his teeth, Seokjin pondered Kim Namjoon.

Namjoon seemed nice enough, but was constantly apologising for the smallest of mistakes. He was a fast, efficient worker. Seokjin had been surprised at Namjoon’s speed when he was colouring the designs.

Namjoon also held an impressive wreath of knowledge about Gameboys, Pokemon and video games in general, so that was another mark to his name.

Seokjin spat and rinsed his mouth out. He was blasting his toothbrush with icy cold water when he noticed his sleeves were light blue. He looked down and realised that the rest of him was still clad in his office clothes, minus the shoes.

What? Why am I wearing my work clothes?

… I’ll think about it later.

Suddenly, Seokjin felt something vibrate in his back pocket and heard the first notes of his ringtone sound through the air. He squeaked the tap closed and pulled his phone out. The alpaca incident flashed through his mind.

...So that’s why I couldn’t find my phone.

His phone vibrated again. He looked at it. Incoming call from Hoseok.

Seokjin pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear. “Morni-”

“Where the- where are you?”

Seokjin dropped his toothbrush into the cup and went into the kitchenette, his mind set on a revitalising cup of coffee. “I’m at home… why are you calling?”

“The others are asking where you are, and I think this blonde guy is wandering around looking for you. You’re still at home? Are you sick or something?”

Seokjin reached upwards, rifling through a cabinet for the jar of organic coffee he kept somewhere on those rare occasions he needed a caffeine boost. “No, I’m not sick. How come?”

“Seokjin, it’s nearly ten!”

He whirled around to stare at the clock above the TV.

9.51.

“Holy crap!”

Seokjin snatched up his keys and ran for the door, suddenly glad that he hadn’t changed.
