Everything Has Changed /Hyunho/

42 - Sleeper

- I most certanly did not eat your food because I don't like it. - Jisung was being dramatic.
But nobody really payed any attention because this was just a usual kind of conversation at 3racha's kitchen.

- Aaah why so loud so early... - Hyunjin arrived back from Minhos' and is heading to the kitchen to grab some food.

- Hey babe. - Jisung greets his bathroom-mate.

- Where have you been all night? Other dorm again? - Changbin wants to know.

- He misses the time when we were all in one dorm, don't you? - Chan answers instead of Hyunjin.

- Yeah, I do. I mean, I love my room and my space, but I miss having everyone together in one place.

For a moment Hyunjin makes everyone feel sentimental. They all look at a distance, pensively... until they remember they had to share one bathroom. That was driving them nuts.

As Hyunjin looks into refrigerator for some leftover food, Jisung gasps.

- You ok?

- Yeah, mhm, all good. - says Jisung, grabs Hyunjin under his arm, and drags him to their rooms.

- What? - Hyunjin asks once they're alone.

- The ring! OMG the ring!!

- Wow, you really notice things fast.

- It was so hard to keep this as a secret from you, you have no idea!!

- Oh, so when did Minho buy it?

- Two days ago! It seemed like forever. I was worried he'd mess up the whole presentation thing. How was it? I bet he just handed it to you.

- You are so romantic Jisung.

- No I'm not.

- You so are.

- Whatever. Did Minho deliver or what?

- Yes he did.

- That's my guy!

- I hear you told the jewelry seller it was for your anniversary.

- Enough about that. What're you going to say if people notice you guys wearing couple rings?

- I'll say I borrowed it from you, I don't know. Maybe I'll wear it on my neck chain. Plus, the two rings are a bit different anyway.

- Cool.

- Jisung, thanks for being such a supporter. It means a lot.

- Oh man... don't say shit like that! You know I'm sensitive...

- But I love you, you know that.

- What did I just say?? I really hate you right now... - Jisung mumbles and turns his face away because he wants to, not because of anything stuck in his eyes.

- I know you love me too.

- Mhmm.

Meanwhile at the other dorm:

- Minho hyung?

- Yeah? - Minho looks up at I.N's big, bright smile.

- Can I borrow your sleeper chair next weekend? My friend is visiting Seoul for the first time, so maybe he could stay here and sleep on the chair...

- Sure. I'll help you move it to your room.

- Is it comfortable?

- Yes it is.

- Hyunjin says it's awesome. - Felix chips in this little conversation.

Minho gives him the look.

- What? He does. He did say it may give you some lower back pain though.

- Don't you have voice lessons today? - Minho asks.

- Nope.

After some huffing and puffing, the chair is finally moved to I.N's room.
Now is a good time to demonstrate how to convert it into a bed.
Minho uses his problem solving skills and figures out how to open it up.

- There - he proudly points at the bed, and gives Felix another stare.

But Felix, leaning at the doorway and supervising, just has to say it:

- The chair can also be very squeaky and loud, you know. I can hear squeaks in my room every time Hyunjin moves. I don't know how it doesn't wake you up, Minho.

Minho looks like he's doing a breathing exercise... Or, like he's about to perform some exorcism on Felix.

I.N is thinking some deep thoughts and finally says:
- Well, in that case, it might be better to take a hotel room.

- That's what I always say! - Felix just had to add it.

He'll probably pay for this later, when they have a dance practice, but it was so worth it.
