{23} [hello kitty]

"Here let me have a look at that." Taeyong grabs a pack of frozen peas from the freezer, walking over to the stool i was sitting on and examining my face.

"I said i'm fine." I move my head away, my head is spinning, trying to figure out how and when i'm going to tell Taeyong the truth.

"You're obviously not fine, so let me have a look." He sits on the stool beside me, trying to get me to face him but i refuse to.

He lets out a loud sigh, letting me know he's annoyed. "What's going on?"

"Nothing, i'm going to shower." I get off the stool, walking past everyone who was staring at us and into my bedroom, only for Taeyong to follow.

"Look, i want to be alone for a while can you please just allow it." I turn around, i don't want him on my back all the time.

"No-"

"Get out then-"

"I'm not getting out of going anywhere until you tell me what's going on." He closes the door properly, walking up to me.

"Nothings going on, i'm just tired and i need some space, don't you need to go check on your men on something?" I walk past him, grabbing a spare set of clothes.

"You're giving me attitude and when you give me attitude it's usually because i've did something wrong, so tell me what i've done so i can fix it." He follows me around.

I stop, staring at him. "You did nothing, it's me, i'm in a mood. So let me get out of this mood and then we'll talk. Go check on Jisung, he looked pretty startled." I walk into the bathroom, locking the door behind me.

I just stood looking at myself in the mirror, god this is all so stressful. How does he have to be the opposite of what the media presented him as? I wouldn't have these feelings if he was the monster everyone knows him to be.

"It's Minhee, open up." Minhees fist bangs in the door. I open the door and she walks in, closing it behind her. "You are driving him crazy, he's ranting about how he's just trying to help but you keep shutting him down."

"I'm trying to tell him but i feel too bad." I look down.

"Do you want me to tell him? Because i can-"

"Minhee i already said i needed to do it myself. Thanks though, i'll join you guys later."

She nods and exits the bathroom, i take a quick shower, change into my clothes and then just stay in the bathroom for a couple minutes.

I walk out, throw my clothes in the laundry basket and make my way to the living room. Taeyong was cooking with Kun while Jisung was half asleep on Sungchans shoulder, Minhee and Jungwoo eating and Taeil on the phone.

I sit beside Jisung, the only free space, and his eyes open, "You can take a nap in my bed if you like." I grab the remote, the silence in this apartment with nothing but whatever they were cooking sizzling, it was awkward.

"No thanks." He yawns, "Sorry." He looks at Sungchan who just smiled at him, all of them really do adore him.

"Okay thanks Johnny." Taeil hangs up, "Theyre cleaning the place up now, a couple of things went missing though."

Taeyongs head shoots up, "The box?"

"No. Ten hid it."

Taeyong nods, relief covering him and walks over to me, handing me a plate of food. It was Japchae. "I'll eat later on-"

"You're eating now." He sets the food on my lap, walking to the kitchen and handing Jisung a plate of food.

"You should eat it, Taeyong doesn't usually cook, but when he does, it's real good." Jisung smiles, taking a bite from his Japchae.
