Sudden Change┊Huening Kai┆彡

-ˏˋ fourˊˎ

I wake up with a morning greeting from my throbbing head, I wince from the pain. 

What the hell happened last night? 

 I remember Kai brought me to the dorm..

My mind travels somewhere, which I hope didn't happen. I quickly turn beside me, finding it empty as usual, my body becoming less tense from relief. While continuing to process last night, another wave of pain hit my head, causing me to curse out loud.

My eyes shut close as it eases the pain slightly, "You okay [name]?"

"Yeah, my head just hurts," I answer, unable to process anything.

"I'll get you pain relievers,"

"Thanks," I manage to say. The headache slightly cools down, enough for my mind to start functioning again.

Chaewon came home early- wait...

...That didn't sound like Chaewon...

"Here, take your pain relievers," Kai says as he enters my room, his oversized, black hoodie hanging loosely on him as well as his plain, white sweatpants. His hand holds a glass of water and the other holds a single pill.

"Thanks," I take the pill from his hand and chug the glass of water I took from his other hand soon after. I don't question why his here since my head hurts too much to be annoyed of anything.

So far so good.

One trait I wish I can change to save my future self from embarrassment and suffering is my body's incapability with hangovers. Not only does the usual hangover headache be 10x worse with me, but my body also lacks control in keeping my intrusive thoughts to myself. Lacking isn't even the right word for how it actually is, I literally don't have control. The same applies to when I'm sick, very glad Soobin has the patience to take care of me, unlike Chaewon. 

"Let's head to the dinner table, the soup I made is ready and it'll make you feel better," Kai tells me.

Kai is never gonna live it down if I let my intrusive thoughts win, I can not have my reputation get ruined in front of this man, "Carry me."

He blinks at me once...

twice...

three times...

Suddenly he picks me up, his hands holding gently to my thigh and my shoulder. 

"KAI!" I yell at him as he heads to the dinner table.

"You told me to,"

"It was an intrusive thought, don't listen to those!" 

"You still thought of it," His smug grin comes back. I get placed down on the chair before he sits himself down across from me, he points at the bowl of soup in front me of, signaling me to eat. 

I blow at the soup, taking sips of it, "It's good," I comment as I took more sips of the soup, he only smiles and continues watching me, "How the hell did you get in here?" I finally ask.

"Chaewon told me about the spare key to the dorm," He answers.

"I could've easily taken care of myself,"

"You told me to carry you to the dinner table,"

"Intrusive thoughts don't count,"

"Whatever you say [name]" I roll my eyes in response and continue finishing up the soup. 

Out of nowhere, the rustling from the door knob being opened catches both of our attention, revealing Soobin holding a plastic bag. 

"Chaewon told me you're dealing with a hangover-" He stops talking as he makes eye contact with Kai, "Oh," He smirks, "Looks like you're well taken care of already."

"What is up with you guys just breaking into my dorm?" I comment, washing my dish. 

"Get used to it. Anyways, I brought your favorite snacks and a hangover drink that I've heard works really well." I watch Soobin take out everything from the plastic bag, feeling a sharp gaze on me.

"Thanks, Soobin" I take one of my favorite snacks, taking a bite out of it.

"Your welcome but I got to go, I came here just to stop by because I have my work shift soon, take care of her Kai," He winks at me, to which I respond with a disgusted face before he left.

"Kai quit staring at me." I say after Soobin shut the door.

"You're pretty"

"What?"

"Intrusive thought," He responds, giggling as he gets up from his chair, "I've got to go too, I'm sure you don't want me with you any longer."

A disappointing feeling light up in me which I try to blow away and bury it in the deepest corners of me, "But what if my headache comes back while I get ice cream and I pass out and hit my head on the fridge and you're not there.." 

Kai blinks at me again, "Are you saying you want me to stay?" His smug grin comes back, his hand resting on the counter as he leans toward me. His face being so close to me, words are unable to escape my mouth. His eyes are mesmerizing, it's starting to piss me off how I can't seem to look away, "I'll stay then" He tells me while brushing off a tangle in my hair.

Such a simple gesture shouldn't make me feel this way, butterflies are having the time of their lives in my stomach. He's been pestering me for a year and I find his every action annoying, why now did it change? 

"C'mon, we can watch some movies for the time being," He holds onto my hand, bringing me to the couch. I sat on the opposite side, but as time went by we soon got comfortable with our legs tangled together on the couch. Not keeping track of time, I soon drift off to sleep. Before fully falling into slumber, Kai leaves the dorm saying something, I wasn't quite sure what he said though.
