It's two days later and Sunwoo sticks to his promise to help Changmin with the choreography. They booked the practice room for a couple of hours, despite Changmin begging for at least four, and Juyeon tags along to watch.

Juyeon doesn't stay long, getting bored too easily when Changmin makes it clear the only one he wants helping him is Sunwoo. Juyeon leaves the room muttering something under his breath about the two of them, but neither of them pay much attention to it.

Sunwoo plays the song and shows Changmin the move, then slows it down a few times and explains it the best he can again with the little knowledge on dance that he has. He's a good dancer, one of the best in the group, but that doesn't mean he knows anything about it from a technical point of view. He's just gifted with magic bones.

Changmin tries it, he fails the first few times but after Sunwoo interjects with some advice here and there he does it perfectly. They both cheer and run to start the song again, but Changmin messes up once more. He brushes it off and Sunwoo provides some unhelpful pep talks and starts the music again. He fails, then gets it right, then fails, then fails again.

Sunwoo can see how stressed he is getting, his shoulders becoming tense. When Changmin is stressed his muscles stiffen and this negatively affects the way he moves but he's too blinded by his determination that he doesn't think clearly, and that's why Sunwoo is here.

Changmin walks to the speakers and huffs out a sigh and this is when Sunwoo decides to move. As Changmin's hand reaches for the play button Sunwoo circles his hand around his wrist and pulls him onto the floor. He sits opposite Sunwoo with his brows furrowed and Sunwoo ignores him as he promptly lays down on the cold hard floor, stretching his arms above his head like a satisfied cat.

He can feel Changmin's eyes on him, even with his closed eyes. "Don't fight it, this is my process."

Sunwoo opens his eyes languidly and looks at Changmin with a soft smile. Changmin had been staring at him intensely but when their eyes meet Changmin looks away quickly, fighting off a blush.

"What?" Changmin says. "Your process is being lazy?"

"No," Sunwoo snickers.

"You're impossible."

It makes Sunwoo smile harder. He reaches his arm towards Changmin and wiggles his fingers in his direction. "Join me,"

Changmin hesitates for a second, glancing over his shoulder once to look at the door. Sunwoo isn't sure if he's checking in case someone dares to see him 'slacking' off, or if it's because he doesn't want someone to see him as he takes Sunwoos hand and lays next to him, intertwining their fingers firmly.

Sunwoo flexes his fingers in Changmin's and closes his eyes again, sighing happily. He feels Changmin's eyes on him so he turns his head and opens his eyes, fighting off the urge to flinch when his eyes meet Changmin's. Their faces are so close Sunwoo could count the eyelashes adorning Changmin's eyes.

Unlike last time Sunwoo caught Changmin staring, he keeps his gaze on Sunwoos, unflinching. It makes Sunwoo feel warm.

"What are we doing?" Changmin ask into the space between them.

"We're resting." Sunwoo says simply. He isn't sure if Changmin was asking what they were doing currently or if it was about something else, something Sunwoo is avoiding. Changmin has 20 eyelashes on his right eyelid.

"Why?" Changmin replies. His voice is soft and small and kind of distant, like he's not really interested in the answer. He has 50 eyelashes on his right eyelid.

"Because it's good to rest," Sunwoo says. Changmin laughs softly.

"I know how to rest, Sunwoo." He has 80 eyelashes on his right eye lid.
