"Your family lives here?" Chanhee asks as the two pull up to a large, high-end apartment building.
"No, my family lives a couple hours away." Younghoon responds.
"You don't live with your family?"
"Nope."
"Can I ask why?"
Younghoon grabs Chanhee's chin, "How could I say no to the cute little face?"
"Ugh!" Chanhee shouts as he pulls his face away, "Nevermind!"
Younghoon giggles, "I'll tell you later."
He pauses, "Stay here." Younghoon tells him as he pats his thigh.

Younghoon gets out of the car and runs over to the other side. He pulls open the door on Chanhee's side.
Chanhee is confused and flustered, "Ah, thank you." He says while blushing.

They walk into the building and the woman at the desk greets Younghoon, "Hello, Mr. Kim. How was your evening? New friend?"
Younghoon giggles, "Great evening, and yes, New friend."
Chanhee playfully hits his arm.
"Have a goodnight." He says to the lady while he puts his hand on Chanhee's waist and guides him towards the elevator, Chanhee blushes.

Younghoon presses the eighth floor button, hand still on Chanhee's waist. They both lean against the wall.
"You are so touchy." Chanhee states.
Younghoon giggles.

The elevator stops on the 4th floor, an older couple walks in.

Chanhee and Younghoon bow as they enter.
The couple leans against the opposing wall.
The woman smiles and says to her husband, "Such a cute couple, reminds me of us when we were young."
Chanhee's eyes open up and look huge while Younghoon smirks.
The lady looks at the two of them and asks, "How long have you two been together?"
Chanhee says, "Oh, no, we-" Younghoon interupts, "Little less than a year." He says with a huge smile.
"So cute!" She says while smiling.

They arrive on the eighth floor, apartment number 806. Younghoon unlocks the door and lets Chanhee in first.

It's a one bedroom studio with a small kitchen.

"It's a nice place. Do you pay for it?" Chanhee asks.
"No, my parents do."
"Can you tell me why you live alone now?"
"Later." Younghoon says with a giggle.

"I'm going to take shower, you can take one after." Younghoon tells Chanhee.
Chanhee nods as he sits on Younghoon's bed.
"You're so cute." Younghoon tells Chanhee.
Chanhee turns red.
"Here," Younghoon says as he hands Chanhee his phone, "do whatever you want while I'm showering."
Chanhee nods again.
"You're so quiet, now."
Chanhee does respond.
"I'll be back." Younghoon says as he turns around to the bathroom.

Chanhee notices as Younghoon turns on the bathroom light, the bathroom door is only a curtain.

Chanhee takes the phone and opens Instagram and searches for Changmin. He opens DM:

"Hey, this is Chanhee. I'm at this guy's house. If I don't call you at 3pm tomorrow, call the police."
"A GUY'S HOUSE? WHAT." Changmin responds instantly.
"I'll explain later, nothing is going to happen."
"HOLY SHIT."
"Talk to you later."

Chanhee leaves the DM. He then looks up his own at, and follows himself.

"Hey, you can shower now." Younghoon says.
Chanhee looks up and sees Younghoon standing over him in nothing but a towel.

Chanhee begins to turn red and jumps up from the bed and runs into the bathroom.

Younghoon grabs his phone and opens it and sees it opened up on Chanhee's Instagram profile.

He smiles.

He clicks on the most recent picture. He is posed drinking bubble tea while wearing a face mask with the caption "daytime date." 
"Is he dating someone?" Younghoon wonders.
He keeps scrolling through his posts and sees he is wearing a face mask in all of them.
"Why does he wear facemasks in public?"
"Is something wrong with him?"
"Is he an idol?" Younghoon keeps asking himself. He has a relatively large following, so it could make sense.
"No. An idol would never work in a restaurant."
"What if he goes into a scandal because he's at my house?"
All these questions, wondering who new this boy is.

Younghoon changes out of his jeans and t-shirt into navy blue basketball shorts and a grey sweatshirt.

"Younghoon!" Chanhee screams from the bathroom.
Younghoon runs over, "Is something wrong? Do your knees hurt? Are you okay?" He asks in a frenzy.
"Uh, do you have clothes I can borrow?" He asks in a sweet voice.
"Oh," Younghoon pauses, "sure. Whatever I have will be pretty be on you. Are you okay? Nit hurt?"
"Not hurt, and the big clothes are fine."

Younghoon runs to his dresser and grabs a pair of pajama pants and a graphic t-shirt.

He then knocks on the wall next to the bathroom curtain, "Chanhee."
Chanhee then opens the curtain up all the way. He is standing in front of Younghoon in nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist covering his lower half. Younghoon stands in front of him speachless and motionless.
After a couple of brief moments, Chanhee breaks the silence, "The clothes?"
"Oh, ya, uh, sorry." Younghoon says as he hand Chanhee the clothes and as his face becomes more and more red.
"Thanks." Chanhee says as he shuts the curtain.

"Why am I thinking these thoughts? I just met him. He is staying at my house. Did I do something wrong by letting him stay here?"

⋄ + ⋄

The curtain opens, Chanhee steps out. Younghoon, who is sitting on the bed, turns his head to face him. Chanhee is being swallowed by the clothes, absolutely swimming in them.

Younghoon is taken a back by Chanhee. He eventually gets something out, "How are you so cute?" He asks.
"Shutup." He replies while rolling his eyes.
Younghoon stands up and walks up to Chanhee, "Are you hungry?" He asks while towering over him.
"Uh, ya."
"Shall I make us some ramen?" He asks.
Chanhee nods.

Chanhee sits on the counter as Younghoon prepares the ramen.

"Are you an idol?" Younghoon asks.
Chanhee laughs.
"What? Are you?"
He laughs more, "No, I'm not."
"Why are you laughing? Were you an idol?"
"Nope, never wanted to be one."
"Than why do you wear face masks on your Instagram?"
"You went through my Instagram?"
"That's besides the point."
Chanhee pauses and takes a large breath, "I wear them when I am wearing nice outfits in public because anytime I leave the house in a nice outfit, I am constantly approached by agencies."
"See? I'm not the only one who agrees that you're cute." Younghoon says with a huge smile.
Chanhee giggles.
"Why don't you want to be an idol?"
"Because I need to work to pay for college at some point."
"Won't you parents pay?" Younghoon asks.
"Nope. They won't."
"I'm sorry that you have to do all that work, Chanhee."
"It's fine, I'm used to it."
"Are you close with your parents?" Younghoon asks.
"Nope. I rarely ever see them. They are gone on the weekends and I work until 9pm most weekdays."
"I'm sorry, Chanhee." Younghoon says.
"No, no, it's okay. I'm used to it. It's been like this for as long as I can remember."
"My parents do so much for me, I mean they even pay for this place and visit me often."
"Will you tell me why you live here now?" Chanhee asks.
"Okay, fine. I live here because I go to a private school here that my parents wanted me to go to." Younghoon responds.
Chanhee doesn't respond.
"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to think I was just a rich kid."
"You live in apartment alone and have a nice car. The private school thing was the last thing I needed to prove rich kid status."
Younghoon doesn't respond.
Chanhee says, "You're not just a rich kid, Hoon."
"Hoon?" Younghoon replies with a big smile, "My Mom calls me that."

"The ramen is done." Younghoon says as he places two bowls across from each other at the dining table.

"Thank you, Younghoon." Chanhee states as he begins to eat his food.

Younghoon puts a chicken seasoning in, while Chanhee puts a beef. They both begin eating.

"Can I try yours?" Younghoon asks.
Chanhee nods. Younghoon taps on the seat next to him. Chanhee gets up and moves to the other seat.

Younghoon puts his chopsticks into his bowl and pulls out some noodles.
"It's good!" He states.

"Can I try your's?" Chanhee asks.
Younghoon nods. As Chanhee is going to put his chopsticks into the bowl, Younghoon says, "Here." As he puts his chopsticks with his noodles into Chanhee's mouth.
