Changbin stood in the entrance to the living room with his arms across his chest. The morning sun peering through the window perfectly highlighted the veins and sculpted muscles of his arms. His hair was messy and his black sweatpants still hung on his hips. His eyes were squinted from still being tired but the dark circles around them were almost completely gone. Changbin, standing there shirtless, Felix walked up to him smiling and shoving Bin's plate towards him to grab. I couldn't help but stare at Changbin's exposed torso. I seen him shirtless just last night but seeing him during the day, completely illuminated, was a sight to behold. "Eat up before it starts getting cold, Binnie." Felix said before taking a seat next to Chan and shoving a bite of pancakes into his mouth. Changbin grunted in response, obviously still half asleep. He didn't seem to be the morning person like Felix. He looked down at his plate and then walked towards me to sit down on the side that was not occupied by Seungmin. Damn it, Changbin.

On the way towards the sofa, Changbin quickly glanced in my direction doing a double take. He stopped in his tracks as if he tripped up on the rug below him. He just stared at me for a moment before shrugging and taking his seat next to me. That was weird. Maybe he was appalled by seeing me of the morning. I didn't think I looked that unpleasant. Changbin instantly started going savage on his bacon. I decided to ignore him eyeing me as I took another bite of the scrambled eggs on my plate. "Thank you for breakfast, Lix." I said across the room. "It is so good." I exclaimed. "Thank you, Bee!" Felix mumbled with his mouth full while still managing to smile with his eyes. I sighed in contentment while letting out a low moan, taking a bite of my pancakes. Changbin paused for a moment and tensed his muscles, rolled his head, and lightly coughed before going back to eating his food. He looked up and caught the eyes of Chan who was staring at him while he was pushing his food across his plate, not bothering to eat it.

Chan had a cocky smirk across his face while his eyes had that pissed off look in them again. However, that look was directed at Changbin this time. Changbin looked at him confused before looking over at me and then back to Chan. Changbin's eyes met with Chan as if he had figured out what the look on Chan's face was all about. Chan noticed this and his smirk had now completely vanished. Changbin shook his head in disbelief and laughed under his breath. "What's so funny?" I asked. "Nothing." Changbin scoffed. I looked across the room and noticed Chan staring Changbin down. When Chan noticed me looking at him he quickly looked back down to his food and finally took a bite. This is really starting to piss me off. I feel like I'm in high school all over again, people whispering and talking behind my back.

"You're right, Bee. This food is delicious. Even little Bex likes it!" Minho said while holding out a small piece of scrambled eggs for my cat, who gladly accepted his offer. It distracted me from Chan and Changbin's weird squabble. I smiled at Minho and my cat while Felix looked over at Bex too and let out an "Awww, so cute!" This was nice, I thought. The awkward tension lifting from my chest. Hyunjin bounced up and down a little bit at the end of the sectional, "You did really well, Felix! These pancakes are awesome. You know, Bee..." He said swallowing his food and looking at me laughing a bit behind his breath. "Felix used to be a horrible cook! He bakes some things well, like brownies. But he used to use so much butter and would even burn his pancakes to a crisp." Hyunjin said while pointing his fork towards Felix smiling playfully. "Shut up, Hyung! You are one to talk!" Felix pointed his fork out at Hyunjin in response. He narrowed his eyes and scrunched his nose before laughing. "I'm obviously an amazing cook, Bee. Don't listen to him. It was just trial and error. You have to crack a few eggs first." He explained proudly letting out a huff and puffing his chest. They are so damn adorable, I thought to myself as I looked at them and smiled.

"I hope you don't mind that I turned your thermostat up before coming in here. It was freezing, my nipples almost fell off." Changbin said to me averting my attention. I laughed and told him it was perfectly fine. "I actually had to turn it up already when I first woke up. It's because there's a freaking blizzard outside." I explained. I looked down at Changbin's plate and noticed it was already almost empty. "Damn, Changbin. You must've been hungry!" I said aloud and pushed my shoulder into him a little bit to get him to liven up. "What? It was good! Thank you, Lix." Changbin said giving Felix a half-assed thumb up. Felix looked at him and smiled lovingly while Changbin leaned back into the couch holding the plate and fork in one hand and patting his belly with his other hand as if he had a little pudge. Yeah, right! I looked away and felt my face getting a bit warm after seeing those perfectly sculpted abs again. Changbin was wearing two silver rings on that hand that looked so sexy laying on top of his chiseled abs and strong, veiny hands. I imagined the cold metal wrapped around my neck and I shivered in response. Luckily, it was still a bit chilly in the house.

"Somebody was hungry!" Han said while looking at Changbin with his cheeks puffed up like he was storing food in them. "You must have had a rough night, huh?" He chuckled while nudging Minho and raising his brows. Minho looked at him wide-eyed. "Shut the fuck up, Han!" Chan said as his fork clang atop his plate. The room fell silent and full of tension, suffocatingly so. Changbin sat his plate down on the coffee table and intertwined his fingers, leaning forward to look at Chan. Han rolled his eyes, shrugged, and went back to eating his food. His head lowered as everyone else looked around the room cautiously. Minho put his hand on Han's back rubbing his hand down it to comfort him. Changbin popped his knuckles and rolled his neck again not breaking eye contact with Chan. "Yeah? How about you don't talk to Han like that." Changbin stated unusually calm.

Everyone around the room looked uncomfortable, almost scared even. Seungmin's face had gone white as I.N scooted into him as close as he could without actually sitting in his lap. "Okay does someone want to tell me what the hell is going on here? You guys have been snickering, whispering, and making weird gestures all morning." I said with my hands up. "It is obvious that you're pissed off for some reason too." I gestured towards Chan and looked around the room confused and annoyed. "What is going on? Someone needs to fill me in and do it now!" I stated audibly in frustration. "It's nothing." Chan said while giving me a small smile and shifting his position. "No, go ahead Chan. Tell Bee what has you in such a pleasant mood this morning!" Changbin said in a condescending tone. I looked from Bin over to Chan who was looking down shaking his head. When he looked up at Changbin with darkness in his eyes. "Fuck you, Bin." Chan said while standing up and walking off into the kitchen, dropping his dishes into the sink dramatically. The room erupted in conversation. "You just couldn't keep your nose to yourself and your mouth shut, could you?" Seungmin said to Han. Han just looked at him and shrugged his shoulders in an apologetic tone. "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to cause any drama." Han explained. Minho was whispering something to Hyunjin as they both looked concerned. I.N was looking around the room with his mouth hanging open, still clinging onto Seungmin. Felix, well he looked just as pissed as I did. Felix stood up out of his seat taking everyone's dishes and walked into the kitchen. Felix placed everyone's dishes into the sink on top of Chan's and then stood in front of Chan, scolding him.

Changbin stood up slowly, walking towards the kitchen when I stood up to stop him from pushing this any further. I put my hand out onto his chest and he hissed at my cold hands touching his unusually hot skin. He ignored me and said from across the room, "Fuck me, huh? Fuck you, Chan. You're acting like a little bitch. Nothing even happened!" Changbin said, still calm but with obvious aggression in his tone. Changbin's pupils were huge to the point where his eyes were completely black. His veins were popping out of his neck, hands, and forehead. Chan went to move Felix out of his way when I positioned myself in between them to stop him from leaving the kitchen. "Okay! That's enough!" I said sternly. "What the hell is going on? Tell me now or so help me, you will all be sleeping out in your bus tonight!" I had both of my arms stretched out. One on Changbin's shirtless chest and the other on Chan's chest. I know it was not the time to have such a thought but I could tell just by touching Chan that he was also extremely muscular. Maybe even more so than Changbin. At least in the chest. If they fought, it would surely be one to cause damage to both parties involved. Neither of them said anything for at least a solid minute while they both just stood there staring eachother down like they were having a stand-off in the wild west. Both of them pissed but still with the cocky smirks. Everyone else was just sitting off on the side-lines completely silent and twiddling their thumbs. Felix was still standing behind Chan in the kitchen, leaning into the counter with one hand running up his forehead in stress. "Well?" said Changbin towards Chan. "You gonna tell her what has you so in your feelings" Chan just scoffed at Bin and looked away hiding his face like he didn't want us to know. "Just tell me, please!" I said while slowly lowering my voice in frustration. Changbin grabbed my wrist and pulled it off his his chest, looking down at me he licked his lips and said, "He's pissed off because he thinks I fucked you."
