Joong

I woke up feeling a pain in my back. As I opened my eyes I was welcomed by two small, curious eyes examining my face. I almost gasped aloud and then it was that I realised what was the cause of that unknown pain on by back. 

I was sleeping on the couch, in NINE's dorm. And those eyes belonged to no one else other than P' Nine.

 "Good morning. Are you okay?" The sweet voice of Nine was heared beside me and I came back into reality. I smiled at him like a fool as I tried to sit up on the couch.

"Do you always sleep like a dead?" He asked helping me sit up.

 I looked at him confused. He was wearing an over-sized shirt with pyjamas, still in his bed hair. I bit my lower lip, how was it fair to look so sexy such early in the morning? Yeah I enjoyed the view although but it was unfair.

"Joong you there?" He asked me when I didn't reply for a long time. I turned my head away from him, blushing hard.

 "Yes P'?" I asked still not doing eyecontact.

"I called you so many times but you didn't wake up." He complained.

"Sorry P'" I apologized.

"Its okay. By the way don't you have work today?" He asked me casually. 

I looked at the clock and the hell! My shift started from 8 and it was already 7:30.

 "Oh shitt P' I'm late" I cursed loudly.

"I guessed that. Anyway get ready I'll drop you to work" He said.

"Thank you P?" I said chewing my lips.

"Just go and take a shower quickly. I'm making breakfast. Fast!" He ordered and just like an obidient kid as I was I stumbled to the bathroom.

I still couldn't take it. I was in NINE's dorm. I quickly pulled out my phone and although in a hurry but still managed to text Earth a thankyou.

He replied back immediately. 

"Where are you?"

"His dorm." I typed back in as much short words as possible.

"Really? You really managed to spend the night there? How's his dorm by the way? I never even got a glimpse of it" He replied.

"Can I call you after sometime? P'Nine ordered me to shower quickly. He will drop me at my the restaurant."

 "Oh my my! Dropping to work?! Alright call me after you arrive. Will be waiting." He said and I knew he was giving a mischievous smile at me now.

"P' Nine I'm ready." I said putting the same clothes on.

"Good eat your breakfast quickly I'll put some clothes on myself too." He said placing a bowl of cornflakes on the table and dashing to his room.He was such caring. I thought to myself munching the food as quickly as possible.

...

"P' Nine did you get home?" I asked on the phone.

"Yep. Just arrived. Where are you?" He asked me.

"I am doing my homework, in my dorm." I said

"Ohh.. so is there any problem you are facing?" He asked me casually. Yes that was the excuse I always gave him when I called him.

"No. Actually I was thinking of something else.." I could feel my heartbeat rise with each passing second.

"Yes what is it?" He asked me.

"Uhm..P'...." I took a deep breathe before continuing

"CanIcallyoujustNineinsteadofP'Nine" I said in a go without taking any breathe.

"What?" He asked not understanding a single word.

"P' Nine can I call you just Nine? You look so smaller than me I don't like to call you P'." I said slowly this time.

He didn't reply instantly and I literally got a mini heart attack. And I mentally cursed Earth for this idotic step.

How can me not calling him P' be considered as a step? I knew he was just trying to take a revenge on me because I could enter Nine's dorm but he being Nine's bestfriend couldn't.

"Okay." He replied after which felt like eternity. And I swear this time I had seriously got an attack.
