Taeyong and I look at each other, not saying as word but feelings the tension anyways. He keeps refusing to let me train properly but i need the training.

"Say it." He clears his throat. "Just be honest."

"I think it's kind of stupid how you won't let me get the right training to keep myself safe." I spit it out. We're out for a meal now too so i know this isn't the right time to this either.

"Seoyeon." He sighs, "Really have to bring that up now? Come on, give it a break." He thanks the waiter. "Now eat."

"Fine." I stick my spoon into the ice cream.

"How was the food? Was it good to get out?" He leans back, not ordering any dessert but forcing me to order some.

"Thank you for letting me leave the house." I let the ice cream melt in my mouth, "So, i feel like it's time you let me do stuff on my own."

"You won't let me touch you some nights, until your therapist clears you, i'm sorry." He watches me eat, "Let's talk about this later."

"How's Jisung?" I ask, offering him a bite of the ice cream but he refuses.

"Good. He's a little sad that i won't let him get a farm of hamsters but i guess he'll get over it. He's happy that you're staying with us though, and Prince too."

"When can we sleep back in your room again?" I ask, we've been sleeping in the little cabin outside the house because the company that installed the alarm for the vents havent activated the alarm yet, he's taking extra precautions.

"Maybe tonight." He wipes his mouth with the napkin, "Ready?"

"Yeah." I stand up. He waits for me to stand beside him and i grab his hand, letting him lead me out of the building. Johnny and Ten followed after us, Yuta and Jeno waiting at the front for us.

"Enjoy your night?" Johnny asks, slapping Taeyongs ass which made Taeyong let go of my hand and twist Johnny's arm. "I'm sorry, it was funny." He looks at Taeyong, slightly in pain but also finding it amusing.

"Ten control him." Taeyong pushes him away, grabbing my hand again until we walk to the car.

He opens the door for me like usually, letting me in first before she gets in after me. Yuta and Jeno getting in the front, Ten and Johnny sitting in the back with us.

"Was their steak good, i always used to come here after training." Johnny asks, stretching his arm out. "Jesus Taeyong, it's surprising how strong you are considering you forget to work out everyday."

"Do you want to walk back?" Taeyong rolls his eyes, "Yuta,what's the update on the vents?"

"Kun said they fixed the alarm again." Yuta says, "Also, Jungwoo said him and Minhee are staying the night away."

"They should just handcuff each other at this point, the way they go on." Johnny looks out the window.

"Jealous you can't have something like that." Yuta laughs, Johnny ignoring him but then smiling widely as he looks to Ten.

"Why would I when I have Ten." He smiles, Ten giving him a blank and uninterested stare as the rest of them laugh.

"So why aren't any of you in relationships?" I mean, it's weird how only two of them are in proper relationships, and sometimes i question if Taeyong and I are in a relationship.

"I'm on a dating ban." Johnny looks to Taeyong.

I then look to Taeyong, okay i need an explanation for that. "Dating ban?"
