Mars | Park Seonghwa

45

The two of you lay there for about half an hour before you decide you need to get up and clean up and shower. You sit up a little bit, but Seonghwa pulls you back against him. You roll over and face him, looking at his face, his eyes still closed.

"I just want to shower, I'm not leaving." You run your fingers along the frame of his face, brushing his hair off of his forehead and just looking at him. On stage, he has this presence about him that is unmatched. He has his hair and makeup done, and he is just out of the world stunning. Here, like this, though. This is your favorite. Barefaced and lying here with his eyes closed, humming at your touch. You are in so deep, and you know that you will do anything to keep this going.

You lean in and kiss his forehead and go to get up, but he stops you again. "Seonghwa, I reeeaaalllly want to shower!" He lets out a loud and very dramatic sigh and releases you.

"Are you getting up, or do you need me to bring you water?" He buries his head in the pillow, and you take that to mean he will not be getting up. You get in your bag and grab your shower things, and head to the bathroom. You had just stepped into the hot water when the door opened behind you, and Seonghwa stepped in behind you, wrapping himself around you, without saying a word.

"Seonghwa, it will be a little hard for me to shower if you're wrapped around me like this."

He smiles into your neck and backs up so you can get back under the water fully. While you get your hair wet, he grabs the loofa from your things and puts some soap on it. He lathers it in his hand, and once you turn around to face him, he smiles at you and grabs your hand. He traces his thumb over your wrists where the restraints were. They are soft restraints, so there are only small marks from you pulling so hard, but they will go away in a few hours.

He pulls your wrists one at a time and kisses them, rotating them to kiss every inch before looking up at you. He just smiles and starts to use the loofa to clean you.

"Seonghwa, you don't have to do that."

"Shh. Let me take care of you."

He follows the loofa with his other hand, making the bubbles all over your skin multiply. He follows his own movements with his eyes, putting a bit of his bottom lip between his teeth, concentrating way too hard for the task at hand.

"We are never going to finish in here if you don't stop doing that." You tell him in a warning tone.

"Oh, we will definitely finish." He smirks down at you.

"Baby." You stop his hand as it's running the loofa across your stomach.

"Hmm?" He hums as he brushes your hand off to continue his work.

"Baby."

"Hmm?" He hums back, again, in a playful tone.

"Seonghwa." You say more stern, and his eyes meet yours.

"Baby." He smiles down at you.

"Baby, I'm really tired. It has been a long day for both of us. Can we please just shower and get to cuddling?"

"Cuddles?!" He is suddenly a giant, happy child.

"Yes. Cuddles. Please. Plus, we need to hydrate a little before we go to bed. But first-" you say as you take your loofa from him, "we need to get clean."

He pouts down at you but nods his head. The two of you finish your shower without any more problems. Once out, you sip some water, brush your teeth, and get dressed for bed before crawling between the sheets and getting comfortable.

He pulls you close, your back to his front, and he buries himself in your hair. You got it mostly dry before getting into bed, but it's still a tiny bit damp. He seems to be inhaling it, and you giggle.

"What?" He says a little pouty. "I love the smell of your shampoo." He places soft kisses on the back of our head and holds you tight as he gives a few sweet kisses along your neck and shoulders.

You lay there tired, head spinning from the events of tonight and from the realization that you actually really care for this man. You knew the feelings were already there, but they just grow every time you're around him.

The two of you fall asleep pretty quickly, and before you know it, you're being woken up by a knock on the door. Seonghwa must not hear it because he is not moving, but there is definitely someone at the door. You look at the clock, and it is 8am. You groan and lay back down.

"Park Seonghwaaaaa. If you don't answer this dooooor. We are gonna find a way to come iiiinnnnn."

This wakes you up. You start to roll out of Seonghwa's arms, and he grabs you tight. You try to shake him and tell him someone is at the door, but he doesn't want to wake up.

"Seonghwa! You have to wake up! Someone is at your door!" You loudly whisper.

"Mmm." He says, not wanting to be awake.

It wasn't until he heard the person (or people) knocking again that he started to wake up.

"Seonghwa. You have until the count of 5."

He panics and looks up at you, clearly comprehending finally what is about to happen.

"One... twwooooooo.... Threeeeeeee." He jets out of bed and tells you to wait there out of sight for a minute. He is at the door unlocking it just before the person on the other side gets to 5.

You make sure you are out of sight of the door and hear it hit Seonghwa's foot when whoever is at the door tries to push in.

"What do you guys want?"

"We wanted to see if you wanted to get breakfast and go to the park with us today!" You can't quite tell who the second person is, but that is definitely Wooyoung's voice.

"Why can't we come in?" Wooyoung asks suspiciously.

"I'm just tired and want to stay in bed a bit longer. I don't know how you guys are even awake right now."

"I have to do my one day vlog today, so I wanted to get a headstart on something to actually make it fun. Johngo is tagging along, so I figured I'd ask if you want to come too!"

"I really don't." Seonghwa says, clearly exhausted.

"But hyung!" Seonghwa must give Wooyoung a look that tells him anything he needs to know because you hear Wooyoung stop begging mid-sentence.

"Ah. Yes. Clearly you're just WAAAY too tired from your activities to join us. I will let you rest, I guess." Wooyoung giggles, and you almost do, too.

"Wait, we aren't dragging him out?" You assume it's Jongho who asks this.

"No. He will be way too busy for us today."

"Wooyoung.." Seonghwa warns.

"Whatever. We can go get good food and enjoy the great outdoors without him! Bye!"

With that, Seonghwa closes and locks the door with every lock and door jam on the thing and walks back in, scratching the back of his head and just looking over at you. You just put a big smile on your face and say, "Good morning."
