chapter 4

but returning to what the problem was – how should he explain why he must sleep with him this night? and the night tomorrow as well. would the excuse "jihoon told me to do so" be enough?

he groaned heavily, realizing that there is no time left. it was dark outside, he heard mashiho getting out of the bathroom after taking a shower. so he was certain that the other will retire soon. besides, jihoon was throwing him with messages. all contain the same name "do you sleep with mashiho?" "did you hug mashiho properly?" "you better ask him if he wants to be hugged before you touch him anywhere you perverted...", "how is mashiho??"

junkyu resigned himself. it was now or never, he sent the other a brief text "everything is set. stop worrying and go to sleep." and left his room. needless to say, that he turned off his phone and didn't take it along, he was so sick of the notifications at this point.

"mashi?" he peeped over the slightly opened door.

"yes hyung?" the response was just like the permission to go in, so junkyu did.

he tried to look serious, with a trifle sadness. his mind made up a plan.

but when junkyu took hold of his palms, embracing his cool fingers with his pleasant warm, mashiho felt as if he was the one with the fever. his heart started pounding vigorously, his cheeks burned him a little. he tried to withdraw his hands, but couldn't due to the tight grasp.

"i want to sleep with you tonight."

mashiho's eyes widened, he ran out of breath in a second.

"w-what?"
