The sky was darker, and the air was cold. Through the rain they safely made it to the building. Dayeol left the umbrella outside and looked at taehyun who was shivering. He took taehyun's room key and opened the door.

He looked around his room. It had the same layout as his. The ocean looked much closer to his room. There was wooden fence around the building, but it was pretty. Dayeol pulled taehyun into the bathroom. Dayeol looked at the shirt he was wearing. He had to remove his shirt, with so much hesitation he put his hands slowly on top of the buttons and slowly unbutton it one by one. Dayeol pulled him under the shower. Taehyun did not say anything. He looked motionless.

He took the shampoo that was inside the bathroom cabinet and poured bit on his hair. The shampoo smelled like him. It was nice. Dayeol slowly rubbed the shampoo on his hair and washed it off. It did not take much longer in the shower. Once it was over, he pulled him out of the shower and closed the tap. He took the towel from the towel rack to dry his hair straight away.

Taehyun had to change his trouser so dayeol came out and picked casual clothes and pushed it to his arms asking him to change. He was going to leave the bathroom, but he paused. Dayeol looked at him then saw how he was tightly holding on to his wrist.

"Don't go"

Dayeol felt distraught.

"I won't.... so quickly change and come" he said while trying to function as though it did not affect him.

He sat down on the floor waiting for him to come out. After minute taehyun came out. He looked up at him. His hair was messy. It made him look cute. He could not help but smile seeing him like that even if he did make him worried sick a minutes ago.

He took the towel from his hand and try to dry his hair more. It was quiet. They could hear the pitter- patter of rain falling outside. Dayeol pulled the towel from taehyun's hair and hand it over to him. He caught taehyun staring at him. Even if he did, he did not avert his gaze from him.

He wondered what to say. He looked around and finally spoke.

"Well, I guess I should leave now."

"B....ye" He waved his hand at taehyun awkwardly and left his room in a hurry. When he came out, he could not help but let out deep sigh. He ran up the stairs and quickly closed the door to his room. Dayeol leaned against his door and put his hand on his heart. He was shivering. It was cold yet he felt this warm feeling from the inside. With a heavy heart he went inside the bathroom and open the shower with thought it would help him to clear his mind. However even after taking shower his mind still felt like a real mess.

After a while dayeol came out of his bathroom when right then he heard a knock on the door. Dayeol wondered who would come at this time when it was raining outside. His thoughts went to taehyun. He thought it was him and hurriedly opened the door to be surprised to see a lady holding a food on a silver platter.

"Mr. Jin young and Lady Sa yeong wanted to send the food to every guest because of the rain" The lady came inside and placed the food on the table.

"Thank you"

"My pleasure"

"The platter will be picked up after an hour sir."

She was about to leave but dayeol called her.

"Did the man downstairs received the food?"

"Yes, sir he did"

"Well sir if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave" She politely nod and closed the door behind her and left.

Dayeol sat down on his chair to eat his food. He was not really feeling hungry. He wondered whether taehyun is eating his food.

"Is he cold?"

"Did he drink hot water?" he thought.

He picked up the fork and put it back on the plate. He got up from his seat and closed the food platter. Again, there was knock on his door. He wondered whether the lady has come back again and opened the door.

But no one was there. He looked down to find a mug and an apple on a small tray. He cautiously touched the mug. It was warm. He picked it up and open the lid.

"Hot chocolate" He smiled seeing it.

He really needed one. He took a sip from it at once. It was perfect. A very balanced sweet hot chocolate but he looked at the apple. He thought it was weird combination but still he thought it was cute.

He knew he had to call Sa yeong, to thank her and jin young before he makes a quick visit to taehyun's room.

"Sa yeong, thank you for the food, You and jin young really didn't have to send food to the room."

"Oh, please dayeol in this rain, I don't want you or taehyun to end up coughing throughout my wedding."

Dayeol chuckled.

"And thank you so much for the hot chocolate and the apple."

"Hot chocolate?"

"Do you want me to send you a hot chocolate?" Sa yeong misheard what dayeol said because of the background noise from her side.

"That's great idea dayeol I will tell the chef to make some hot chocolate for everyone."

Dayeol realized then.

"Sa yeong I just had a hot chocolate so it's, okay?"

"Are you sure you don't one?"

"Yes, I am hundred percent sure."

"Should I send one for Taehyun?"

"He also had one."

"Okay then I should head back to get myself a hot chocolate too, good night dayeol see you tomorrow."

"Good night"

He kept the phone on the table and looked at the hot chocolate and the apple. He sat down. He laid his head to the side gazed deeply into the mug and the apple. His faced turned super red and he felt butterflies in his stomach.

"Min Jung was right."
