The slime hit hard.

KATSEYE had just wrapped up their appearance at the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards, and all seven of you were drenched — not just slimed, but marinated. Hair sticky, clothes clinging, and all of you low-key questioning your life choices as the green goop dripped into your shoes.

After the post-slime interviews (which were a disaster of their own, full of jokes, Manon trying to hug everyone while covered in slime, and Lara trying to eat it), the staff finally led you all to the backstage showers to clean up.

Except… there was one problem: limited water access.

"Try to keep it under five minutes per person," one staff member warned. "Or shower in pairs if you're comfortable."

Everyone looked at each other.

Moments later, Lara and Yoonchae casually disappeared into the same bathroom with towels over their shoulders.

“Wait— Did they just...?” you blinked.

“They’re already halfway through shampooing,” Sophia muttered, trying to scrub slime out of her ear.

Daniela was already negotiating for dry shampoo.

Manon screamed, “WHAT?! I wanted to go with Lara!”

Sophia scolded her, “Girl, it’s a shower, not a date!”

You turned around just in time to see Megan raise a brow at you, slime dripping from her bangs.

“So,” she said, voice deadpan. “Wanna shower together?”

You blinked. “What?”

Megan shrugged. “You heard the guy. Limited water. Save the planet. Be eco-friendly. Shower buddies.”

“…Are you using climate change to justify this right now?”

“Absolutely,” she replied, already walking toward the showers like she didn’t just drop a bomb.

You laughed, following her. “You’re unreal.”

“And you’re wasting time arguing instead of helping me get this slime out of my bra.”

Megan had zero shame, a completely straight face, and somehow made you flustered in five seconds flat. You should’ve expected this. This was the same girl who once ate cereal with soda when there was no milk, and said it “wasn’t that bad.”

In the end, you grabbed your towel and walked in after her, both of you laughing the entire way as she muttered, “Teamwork makes the dream work, babe.”

And, in her words: “It’s not weird unless we make it weird.”
