Soomin's pov

As soon as Hyunjin was sleeping, I left the room and went to the living room to sleep there. I am not gonna sleep the whole night in a bed with a random ass man. I mean, he's not a stranger, but he's still a grown man.

Wait, isn't that illegal? I don't know.
I mean he's two year older than me.

Is that creepy? At my school, there were already girls in my age that had boyfriends over 20. And I know that at public high schools, it's also not that unusual.

But it's not like he's my boyfriend. Even tho he passed some boundaries that wouldn't count as normal friend anymore. But guess he has the injury-free-pass. People that are injured always can get away with more and do more without anyone thinking it's weird or something.

I try to ignore that. I mean I feel really bad for him. So I guess I will have to get over it that I feel a little uncomfortable sometimes.
I can understand how hard it is for him and his health - not only physically but also mentally - has priority at the moment.

"Minnie? You slept here?", Chan asks when he comes into the living room.

I pull the blanket over my head.
Why does he have to wake me up? I was sleeping so peacefully and he has to rip me out of my sleep.
For once, I wasn't dreaming anything and that's what made it so peaceful.

"I was still sleeping until you came in here, why did you had to wake me up?", I ask and pull the blanket above my head.

"Why didn't you sleep in you room?", he ignores that he just woke me up and sits down on the armrest.

"Because Hyunjin is in my bed."
"He's what?", Chan seems so confused. It's also still early for him, the brain doesn't work that fast when it's too early. He also still looks a little bit tired.

"Wait, why don't you know? He said my bed is more convenient for him so he slept there."

Now he seems to understand.
It's like I could see the process of his head working.
He chuckles.
"And he didn't told you to stay?", he asks curiously.

"Uhm, actually, he did, but as soon as he slept in I left."
"Oh no. Why?"
"Because I don't want him to hurt himself more while he's sleeping so he should have more space."

"It's not about the bed, Minnie. And that's a really dumb argument by the way. But you know, he really doesn't open up much and he had a really hard day. You were his emotional support, so he wanted to keep you close, to feel safer."

Maybe Chan's brain still worked faster than mine.
He's right.
"But why didn't he tell me then?"

"Because it's a little bit embarrassing for him."
"Wait, how do you know all that? Did he tell you that isn't he still sleeping I-"

"I spend enough time with him, I know exactly how he acts."
"Oh."
I slowly nod.

"Good Morning guys."
We turn around.
"Hey, Hyunjin. Are you okay?", I ask.

"Why did you go?", he immediately asks and sits down next next to me.
"Uhm, why should I stay?"

"Because I missed you. And you said you would stay with me."
"Okay, I will let you guys handle that yourself I guess", Chan says and head over to the kitchen.

"Anyways, that's not important. Uhm, the doctor is coming later, I'm staying here with you the whole day", I explain.

"Oh so, we are by ourselves in this house for the whole day?", he asks and lifts his eyebrows.
Hyunjin really seems to be in a better mood than yesterday.

"Yeah? Why did you had to repeat that like that?", I ask slowly.
He just smiles.
"No reason. Let's go, I am hungry."

"So when can I start to dance again?", Hyunjin asks the doctor after the check-up.
"In around four weeks."

Oh god.
I look at Hyunjin.
His jaw drops.
"Four weeks?", he repeats, to be sure he heard that right.

"Yeah, that should do it. And until then: a lot of rest. You can't really do more than that."

Hyunjin seems still not to be over the shock.
"Oh my god. What the fuck? What am I supposed to do these four weeks? I can't practice for a whole month!", he whines and dramatically buries his head in my shoulder.

"Hey, you are gonna survive that. It's not like you can't do anything."
"But you're gonna stay with me, right?", he grabs my hand.

"If you want so, I can."

The next few days, I stayed with Hyunjin at home. I helped him where I could and I cheered him up.
He started feeling better after some time, he wasn't that down anymore.

I can't say I don't enjoy spending time with him, so it weren't the worst days of my life. It weren't the days but the nights that caused a little bit of a problem. I had to get used to it first.

"Soomin, please stay", he says.
He lays his arms around me.
I flinch slightly when he touches me, but I don't think he notices.

"Okay, I'm not gonna go away, but please let me go. I can't sleep like this", I say and take his arms away from me.

"But can I please hold you hand?", he begs in a cute voice.
"Ew, what's with that voice?"

"Please", he still keeps going with that same tone.
I roll my eyes.
But then I take his hand.

"I can't believe that you're two years older than me", I mumble.
But Hyunjin just ignores that. He looks so happy right now.

And I got kinda used to it with the time that I have to play the babysitter also during the night.
He always sleeps in my bed, even when he got a little better.

"So Soomin, we have something for you. Since your birthday is soon, we thought we could give you a little gift." All the boys are standing in front of me with this weird smirk on each of their lips.

"But that brings bad luck."
"Yeah, we don't care. Here", Felix reviles a box he was hiding behind his back.

My jaw drops.
It's a brand new iPhone.
"Oh my god are you guys crazy", I say but still immediately take the box.

I open it.
"It's really not that big of a deal. We wanted to buy you something anyways. So we thought that would be a good idea. And you deserve it."
I don't. But I don't care that I don't. I am so happy right now.

I unlock the phone. They already set up. They downloaded some apps. And they also chose a homescreen.

"What the fuck is this?", I ask and show them my homescreen.

It's a selfie of Jisung.
"Oh, yeah. It's so pretty right?", Jisung smiles.
"Okay, I need to change that for sure right now."
"What? You don't like my face?", Jisung pouts.

"You are so handsome, Jisung, but I can't look at your face for that long."

"Yeah, guess I am too handsome too look at for too long. Your eyes wouldn't handle that."
"It must be that, yeah", I nod.

"You guys really share the same brain cell", Felix laughs.
I habe to smile too.

"Thank you so much. I can't believe you guys really did that." I hug them all.
