They stayed cuddling and making up for their lost time for a while, until the jingle of keys was heard from outside the door.

Both boys rushed to stand up, relieved when they saw one of their members there.

"Thank god Matthew, you're a life saver" Hanbin mumbled, hugging the dirty blonde haired.

Zhanghao gave him a pat on the shoulder, whispering a thank you.

That night when everyone was safely back in the dorms, Hanbin and Zhanghao only muttered a small good night to each other, before going into their respective rooms.

Naturally they had already changed roommates multiple times since their debut, and now Zhanghao was sharing a room with Yujin while Hanbin one with Taerae.

They couldn't risk being being suspected already now, but at least the members knew that they weren't fighting anymore.

"So? Did you guys make up?" Yujin asked Zhanghao, once the older had laid down in bed.

"Yeah. We did." Zhanghao smiled, looking up at the ceiling.

"Are you dating now?"

Zhanghao's face dropped, as he looked at Yujin incredulously. Did he hear that right?

Yujin looked unimpressed. "Ah, c'mon y'all are too attached to be 'only friends' it's so obvious. I'm not telling anyone, chill. But are you dating?"

Zhanghao lifted the covers of his bed, waiting for Yujin to come lay besides him. Yujin was like a son for Zhanghao, someone he cared deeply about and would do anything to protect.

They had a very close bond.

"We are"

Yujin cheered silently, before making a fake vomiting sound. "Just please, no PDA in front of me"

Zhanghao snorted. "We'll make sure to be all over each other when you're near" He teased.

Yujin's eyes widened, feeling overly disgusted. "Please don't"

"Someday, when you'll be older, you will also find someone who will sweep you off your feet. Mark my words" The older boy ruffled Yujin's hair, a content smile on his face.

"Maybe I already did" Yujin whispered to himself so so quietly, hoping that Zhanghao hadn't heard anything.

Zhanghao gasped. "Yujinnie has a crush?!?!"

"No! Ew! I'm too young for that" Yujin mumbled, trying to cover up his mistake.

"Is it someone from school? A classmate?"

"It's no one! I was just joking" Seeing that Zhanghao was giving up, Yujin let out a relieved sound.

"Okay fine. But if you need to talk about it, I'm here"

The youngest nodded, knowing that Zhanghao would definitely be the one he would go to.

"Good night" He muttered, as they fell asleep one beside the other.

It was around 8 in the morning when Hanbin went to wake everyone up, since they had a schedule by 9.

When he opened the door to Zhanghao and Yujin's room, he noticed that Yujin's bed was empty.

Looking over to Zhanghao's, Hanbin was sure he could feel his heart melt.

There laid Yujin, all cuddled up in Zhanghao's arms.

Hanbin quickly grabbed his phone from the pocket of his hoodie, snapping some pictures before softly shaking Zhanghao's arm to try and wake him up.

"Mhm?" Zhanghao mumbled, slowly opening his eyes. "Breakfast is ready" Hanbin said, Waking up Yujin right after.

"Don't want to" Yujin groaned, covering his whole body with the covers. Zhanghao chuckled, standing up.

"That's your problem now" He patted Hanbin's arm, pointing at the grumpy teen sleeping in Zhanghao's bed.

After ten minutes, Hanbin had exited the room with a pissed Yujin walking behind him, glaring at everyone he saw.

The others weren't surprised though, that was Yujin's mood every morning.

"Yujinnie" Gyuvin whispered with a fond smile, patting the free seat besides him which he had reserved for the youngest.

"M'tired" Yujin sat down, instantly leaning against Gyuvin's shoulder.

On camera the youngest pretended that he disliked Gyuvin's affection; but secretly, sometimes it was all he needed.

He liked how much Gyuvin took care of him. He was kind of Yujin's safe place.

But don't tell Gyuvin that!

Zhanghao sipped onto his coffee, enjoying the only time of the day where silence would adorn the dorms.

In the morning.

"Hi" Hanbin whispered in his ear, taking the mug out of Zhanghao's hands and drinking it.

"Morning" Zhanghao said back, snatching his mug from Hanbin. The Korean boy pouted, going to make his own coffee.

"Guys, go get ready if you're done. The car leaves at 9:50" Hanbin stated, watching as Ricky and Taerae left already, since they usually took longer to get ready than the others.

After everyone finished eating and left to go get ready, only Hanbin and Zhanghao were left inside the kitchen, tiding up the place.

"Wanna go out later? We don't have much to do after 4pm" Hanbin asked, washing the dishes.

"Can we?" Zhanghao wondered, knowing that they probably still had to bring a staff member with them.

"Let's go to our spot. Alone"

Zhanghao's eyes widened. They hadn't been there since boys planet ended. "Are you suggesting we sneak out?" He raised an eyebrow, liking the idea.

"Yeah, are you alright with that?" Hanbin leaned down, his face right in front of Zhanghao's

"Yup. Now, let's also go dress" Zhanghao smiled, booping Hanbin's nose before retreating to his room.

























I hope you're all doing well!!
