"Can you...for the love of God...PLEASE. PICK UP. YOUR SHIT."
Jonghyun looks up lazily from the magazine he's reading on the bed, blinking slowly at Kibum. "You know that's Jinki hyung's, right?"
Kibum blinks, taken off guard and drops the shirt he's holding, suddenly scandalized. "Wh-What? When...did he become...so messy?" Key looks around their dorm room, this sudden information making him see everything in a new light. Clothes strewn about on the floor, papers littering every free bit of desk space, some balled up and just a few inches shy of the trash can, and worst, plates of half-eaten food in some places, glaring at Kibum with a big, red, blinking sign above it reading "JINKI'S SHIT". With a huff, Kibum shakes his head, turning to Jonghyun. "What the fuck? When did he become like this?"
With a dutiful sigh, Jonghyun sits up. "He's really busy lately. When he comes home, he's really tired. He just...takes off his clothes and drops them where they are, then if he has to prepare for his musical or emceeing...And sometimes he falls asleep eating." Jonghyun murmurs, looking down.
Kibum shakes his head, taken aback and sets the basket down. "I...I don't care. This is just disgusting. He's doing his own laundry from now on." With that, Kibum leaves the room in a huff, heading toward Minho's, knowing he'll find more favorable conditions in his favorite dongsaeng's room.
Jonghyun just watches him go, turning to look around the room, swallowing before getting up and starting to pick up after their leader. By the time he's done cleaning, the plates are in the dishwasher, the molding food on them in the garbage. The papers on his desk are in a neat stack and Jinki's dirty laundry is in a cold cycle in the wash, the melodic hum sounding throughout the dorm.
Later that night, when Jinki comes in, he finds a pair of pajama bottoms folded neatly on his bed. Next to it, there's a passive aggressive note from Kibum about personal responsibility and cleanliness and Jinki balls it up, throwing it toward the garbage can and missing.
Jonghyun laughs softly, watching Jinki pass out face first on his bed, murmuring quietly to the space between them, "Night hyung..."
