uhhh do you refer to public restrooms as 'bathrooms' or 'restrooms' in conversation (in the context of, like --would you tell your coworker "im heading to the bathroom" or "im heading to the restroom," or ask a waiter "where's the restroom/bathroom")

Chapter 2 - Rumor Has It.
“How?” You looked at him with both your eyebrows furrowed.
“You can use my shirt here.” He pointed to the green plaid button-up shirt tied around his waist. (Note: Imagine the plaid dark green shirt he wore tied around him in the Going Crazy Vertical Cam Version)
“Oh…” Your eyes roamed down to the plaid shirt tied around his hips. You blinked a few times. You were clearly confused on what was going on. It’s only 9.30am in the morning and yet so many things have happened to you today!
Hyunsuk saw the thoughtful look you had, your eyes not looking into his. He felt sorry for you. He really does. As much as how he felt that you getting peed on by a cat was funny—he really did feel sorry for you for having to go through something so dramatic early in the morning.
Hyunsuk hurriedly unravelled his plaid shirt from his waist and held it out to you. “Look, it’s not dirty or anything, if that’s what you’re worried of…”
Your head instantly snapped up and looked at him. That wasn’t what you had in mind at all! There was no way you would ever judge him of being dirty in any way. If at all, you felt that you were the one about to dirty his shirt by wearing it.
You shook your head, “No, no! I don’t mean that! I just…am still overwhelmed with what just happened. That’s all.”
Hyunsuk gave you a smile. “No worries. Here, take this. You can use the public restroom in the convenience store too. They won’t mind.” He pointed to the store where you ran off to yesterday.
You looked at the store which was located on the other side of the road. You smiled timidly at Hyunsuk, “Thanks…really. You didn’t have to though.”
Hyunsuk shoved the shirt into your hands, forcing you to take it since you wouldn’t take it from his hands. “Just go change. I want to help you. Isn’t this what we call humanity?”, he smiled again.
You scoffed. This guy really knows how to use his words! Humanity? You laughed a little. “Okay fine. Thank you, again. I’ll return it to you once I washed it though. Deal?” You held out a hand for him to shake.
“Deal!”Hyunsuk said as he shakes your hand.
“Alright then. I’ll be going now. You better hurry inside too. You must be busy or something.”
“Yeah, or something.” He grinned at you before waving goodbye as he walked inside the big building.
You on the other hand, hurriedly went to change out of the urine-reeked blouse you were wearing. Omg! It literally reeks of pee! How did I even talk to him smelling like this?! You mentally face-palmed yourself for not realising how you made him have to stand and talk to you whilst you smell like literal urine.
Hyunsuk’s green plaid shirt looked like a semi-formal outfit now that you tucked it into your black pencil skirt. Another thing you were grateful of was that how lucky you were the cat didn’t spray its pee onto your skirt as well. Taking out your bottle of perfume that you always carry in your tote bag, you spray it onto you a few times to get the pee stench out of you.
“Alright. Off to work.” You made sure all your stuff was with you, (including the soiled shirt, tucked into a paper bag you had asked from the store’s kind cashier) before leaving for your job that was located a block away from where you were.
                                                                  *
 “Wow, you look different today. I never knew you had anything green in your closet, y/n,” your colleague said as she saw you walk through the office door.
“Oh. Oh yeah, this isn’t something I usually wear.”
“Yeah but green looks good on you. You should wear it more often,” she said before swinging her chair back to focus on the PC monitor on her desk.
You smiled a little. Okay maybe you’ll add on some green into your closet one day. You walked over to your desk and started up your computer. You had some online activities to prepare for your classes. You worked on it diligently as the day passed.
                                                                  *
 It was afternoon and the rest of the boys were already in the practice room. They were all practicing their new song’s choreography, all sweaty and face red from the movements they made without any breaks as they wanted to get it down right. The song played 4 more times as they still practiced the moves, when by the end of it, Jeongwoo voiced out, “Hyung, can we take a break? I can’t hear myself scream that high note again, seriously, I might break that song player,”
Jihoon snickered at the younger boy’s whine. “Alright all, time out! 30 minutes break!” he called out loudly.
Jeongwoo cheered loudly and ran towards his water bottle at the corner of the room.
Yedam wiped his sweat off with the back of his hand. “Can we take an hour off instead hyung? It’s almost lunchtime anyways,” he bargained.
Jihoon turned to look at Hyunsuk who was on the floor, tying up his shoelaces that kept coming off during their practice. “Hyunsuk-hyung, what do you think?”
“Just let them take break til lunchtime is over. They’ve worked hard today,” he said, hands still busy tying up the shoelaces.
“Alright then. BREAKTIME TIL LUNCH IS OVER GUYS!” Jihoon yelled out loud for all his kids to hear him.
“YAYYYYYYY!” Loud cheers formed in the room. Jihoon and Hyunsuk smiled watching the boys shuffle out of the room, all being loud and excited with the extra break they’re getting from both their leaders.
Jihoon sat down next to Hyunsuk, who was finally done with his shoelaces. Hyunsuk stretched out his arms and lay down on the cold floor.
“You’re not going out for lunch hyung?” Jihoon asked.
“I will. In a bit. Let me just rest here for a while.”
“Alright then. I’ll go with you then.” Jihoon joined Hyunsuk on the floor.
The both of them stared at the ceiling of the practice room quietly, both immersed in their own thoughts.
“Today, something funny happened…”Hyunsuk started speaking.
Jihoon turned his head to Hyunsuk. “Yeah? What happened?”
Hyunsuk smiled to himself, recalling the incident that happened that morning with you. “Gosh, you’ll never believe me if I tell you,” he lets out a laugh.
Jihoon rested his head against his palm, ready to listen what the older guy beside him has to share.
Hyunsuk looked at Jihoon. He sat up and hugged his knees close to his chin. “Okay but Hoon, to be honest, have you ever….seen a cat pee on a person before?”
Jihoon shot him a confused look. “What?”
Hyunsuk felt like he wanted to laugh just saying it but he still wanted to share what had happened to you today even though Jihoon had no idea who you were. (Neither does Hyunsuk but he clearly knew what happened to you today lol)
“Stop smiling goofily to yourself omg! Just tell me what happened!” Jihoon said, growing impatient. He sat up from his spot as well and crossed his legs.
“Alright, alright.” Hyunsuk composed himself. “Earlier today…I saw…a girl getting peed on by a cat…”
Jihoon looked at his hyung weirdly. “What? Wait- what no I don’t get it.”
“Noooo! It’s true, there was a girl outside the building today, and she got peed on by a stray cat! I’m not making this up!”
Jihoon chuckled. “No way! That’s so…”
“Unbelievable right? I didn’t think cats could do that too! But omg-“ Hyunsuk started laughing, “Omg the girl! You should’ve seen the clueless look on her face! She looked so done, so lost,” he said as he laughs out loud.
Jihoon smiled at his hyung. “So, you met a girl today?”
Hyunsuk stopped laughing. “Really? That was all you caught from my story? You weren’t even interested with the part where the cat peed on a human being??”
Pushing his hair to the back with one hand, Jihoon responds, “Come on hyung. You know we don’t have much encounters with girls so this is quite a catchy point to take from your story don’t you think?”
Hyunsuk rolled his eyes at his friend. “Okay fine, fair point. But still, isn’t it funny?”
Smiling, Jihoon nodded. “Yeah funny.”
Hyunsuk smiled widely. “Man, if you were there you would’ve laughed out loud right at her face though.” He glanced at Jihoon, “Yup, you would be that kind of guy,” he snickered.
Jihoon swatted Hyunsuk’s arm. “Hey! I would have been very nice okay. I would’ve helped her.”
Hyunsuk raised an eyebrow at Jihoon.
“Okay fine! Maybe I’ll have a good laugh before I help her.”
Hyunsuk grinned at Jihoon. “I knew you would.”
Rolling his eyes, Jihoon asked Hyunsuk, “So, did you help her?”
“Yeah, I did actually.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, I lent her my plaid shirt so she could go change. I mean, I couldn’t just let her walk to work wearing piss covered shirt, no?”
“The green one? That plaid one?” Hyunsuk nodded. “Aw come on nooo! I like that green plaid shirt of yours!”
“Hey! I had no other choice okay. I couldn’t take this shirt off my body in public and hand it to her, could I?” Hyunsuk gestured to the shirt he was wearing at the moment.
Jihoon laughed at his hyung. “That would’ve been hilarious to be honest.”
Hyunsuk motioned towards his dongsaeng. He wanted to pinch this guy for teasing him this much.
Jihoon evaded Hyunsuk’s hands from pinching him and ran further from him. “No wonder you look less fashionable today hyung!” he said whilst he laughed and ran at the same time.
“Come here you! Stop teasing!” Hyunsuk yelled as he chased after Jihoon around the room.
                                                                    *
 As usual, at 5pm you prepared to clock out from work. You made sure the stacks of books on your table were neatly arranged before beeping your card at the machine located opposite the exit of your office.
Walking back to your apartment, you passed by your usual route. And as usual, you passed by the convenience store on your right….and that same intimidating building on your left. Usually, you would’ve walked by without thinking much about the building, except that it’s intimidating for its reputation and size—but this time, today, your steps stopped when you passed by it briefly.
Your eyes lurked at the building. You wonder what it’s like inside it. How are the people inside it too?
You looked at the spot where the incident from this morning happened. How did something so ridiculous happened there? And right in front of Hyunsuk- THE CHOI HYUNSUK of Treasure. You mentally facepalmed yourself. This is certainly something you would remember of for a long long time.
Your eyes travelled to your arm. Your arm hugged by the sleeves of Hyunsuk’s shirt.
How is he so nice to a stranger? What if I was a sasaeng fan? What if I was the kind of person to sell off the things he gave me on eBay to get some profit from his fans??
Okay but you’re not that kind of person. He’s lucky you weren’t. You turned around and proceeded to go back home. You couldn’t wait to wash the shirt he lent you and return it to him.
 To be continued...
