Paint Me | Kang Taehyun

Both Hayun as well as Taehyun were unable to fall asleep as they kept tossing around. It was silent until Taehyun broke the ice. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" he asked. "Not really" she replied and turned to face him when her heart paused for a moment as her eyes met his.

"Have you been here before? You've been close with the hyungs for so long." he continued still looking into her eyes. Hayun turned to face the ceiling to avoid his captivating eyes. "Yeah, I came here twice with our families during vacations. We had set a bonfire and uncle Choi told us horror stories. I still remember how Yeonjun, Beomgyu and my older brother Jong-suk pranked me by pretending to be ghosts. I cried for hours that night and didn't talk to the three for the next day." the girl smiled automatically as those memories flashed in her mind. ''My older brother is in the military so it's hard to see him" she replied guessing that Taehyun might be wondering where her sibling was.

The two continued sharing their stories mostly about their childhood and got to know each other.

"So me and Kai got detention, then we texted the hyungs and the five of us decided to go to the gaming arcade and-" Taehyun was speaking while staring at the ceiling but when he faced Hayun she was fast asleep. He tucked the blanket properly so that the girl next to him won't feel cold and soon he fell asleep looking at her peaceful sleeping face.

It was 9 in the morning and everyone woke up from their sleep except Taehyun and Hayun who slept at around 5 am. Yeonhwa, Sohee, Bo Young and Heejin were preparing the breakfast while the boys set up the table in the backyard so they could enjoy their food outside. "Are those two still asleep? Did they sleep late at night?" Heejin said while preparing the french toast. Huening Kai smirked at her comment and the girl facepalmed. "You dirty-minded penguin!" she smacked his forehead while the said boy groaned in pain. "I'll go and check on them." Yeonhwa said as she finished chopping the fruits.

She knocked on the door and waited but there was no response so she peeked inside the room and dashed to the kitchen where the rest of the group was. "Guys you need to see this!" she grinned like a proud mom and everyone followed her to the room curiously.

Everyone's eyes widened as they opened the door. "Well, it would be a waste to not capture this moment." Huening Kai said and took out his phone to take a picture of Taehyun and Hayun. "The ship is sailing, I repeat the ship is sailing!" Bo Young squealed.

Yeonhwa and Yeonjun had been dating for a long time so the girl was close with Hayun. After their meeting at the mall for shopping Hayun grew closer to the rest of the group too as they were easy to get along with. Ever since that meeting, the group has been shipping Taehyun and Hayun.

"Okay okay let's give them some privacy now." Soobin whispered and they all left to continue with their work. But Beomgyu accidentally shut the door loudly which caused the two to wake up from their slumber. Their eyes widened as they realized the position they were in. Hayun was snuggled up in his chest while Taehyun's chin was resting on her head, arm tightly secured around her waist. Both of them jolted awake and looked in separate directions awkwardly. Hayun quickly grabbed her sanitary bag with clothes and rushed to a bathroom while Taehyun went to another.

"What did just happen!" Both of them thought, while their face was flushing red.

Taehyun was the first one to come out of bathroom after taking a shower. He went to the kitchen and saw the group taking food to the backyard. "Oh Taehyun, did you sleep well? Is Hayun up?" Beomgyu asked as he saw the boy walking towards them. "Of course hyung, he slept very well" Huening Kai smirked looking at Taehyun who was confused due to the conversation. "Go and call Hayun." Yeonjun ordered the boy lost in his thoughts.

Taehyun was about to knock at the bathroom door where Hayun was but the scene from earlier when the two were sleeping so close to each other flashed in his mind resulting in his cheeks to redden. He took a deep breath and knocked at the door "Hayun are you done? Everyone's waiting for breakfast in the backyard." "Yeah just a minute" she replied. He waited for her to come out. As soon as the door opened their eyes met but both of them suddenly looked away awkwardly.

"Let's go." saying Hayun quickly made her way to the backyard with Taehyun following her. "Good morning sleepyheads!" Heejin greeted the two awkward people coming towards them. "Looks like someone had a really good sleep." Yeonjun said. "Come on guys don't be shy and it's our right to tease our maknae, right Hayun?" Yeonhwa spoke smiling widely. "Am I the youngest here?" Hayun asked and the rest nodded. "Do you want to see something interesting?" Huening Kai said fishing out his phone to show a photo of Taehyun and Hayun from the morning. Taehyun smacked the younger boy's forehead and Hayun was a blushing mess. "Oh the breakfast looks delicious, I'm super hungry let's eat." Hayun changed the topic but the teasing still went on at the dining table.
