HOUSE CLEANING

“No,” Sehun whispers, almost audibly as his face turns pale. He is looking at the lot that he’s just drawn that clearly says “cleaning up”. He’s doomed.

For some reason, Sehun and his flatmates - consisting of Junmyeon, Jongdae and Baekhyun - have always distributed the chores by drawing lots. Although it’s only deciding the chores division for one week, Sehun is still miffed that he got the worst fate of all: cleaning. Up until now, he had only had to clean the whole apartment once. Usually, he was lucky with only having to do the laundry or grocery shopping which was far less work, though of course doing the laundry for everyone was gross. It’s not half as gross as tidying up the common rooms though - living room, kitchen and bathroom.

“My weekend is ruined,” Sehun whines. He pouts and makes a cute face, hoping to get one of the hyungs - Junmyeon hyung, since he has a soft spot for him - to exchange lots. He’s not lucky today though.

“Sorry, Sehun,” Junmyeon says and ruffles his hair. He doesn’t sound apologetic at all.





Of course, he doesn’t have to clean the whole apartment every day. It’s up to him to work on it little by little every day or do it all at once, but Sehun knows it’s best to just leave it and clean up on the weekend. All four of them are kind of messy - and he swears, Junmyeon is the worst - so there’d be lots and lots to clean up the next day, even if he did tidy up thoroughly. He just goes around the rooms and clears the garbage piles springing into his eyes every night before going to bed, that’s all.

“I’m sorry, Nini, we’ll really have to postpone our date,” Sehun sighs into the phone. He’s been telling his boyfriend the whole week, but Jongin is still adamant on going out. Sehun can’t blame him though. Because Jongin is attending university in Busan while he’s in Seoul, they don’t see each other often. They’re lucky if they’re able to see each other twice a month at most - excluding holidays, of course.

“But Sehun,” Jongin whines into the phone.

“Jongin, please. Next week is fine, too. I’ll skype you later tonight, so you’ll still see me, okay?”





To say that Sehun is miffed would be an understatement. He’s definitely pissed, not only because his supposed date with Jongin was cancelled, but more so because his hyungs are celebrating the end of Sehun’s lucky streak with a party on Friday night. And now, on Saturday morning, he is facing the a
