Mingi and Yeosang just started dating.

It's been a week. Usually, when guys start dating, they immediately tell their friends, especially if their friend has leveled up to bestie status. It might even happen that their friends become witnesses to the proposal.

But not Mingi and Yeosang. If you say they haven't had the chance, why wouldn't they? They often meet, and even if they don't, they frequently appear in the group chat. But for some reason, they just haven't mentioned it. Maybe they want to give it a surprise? Or let the others find out on their own? Who knows.

The ATEEZ gang, who don't have a clubhouse, often gather around at each other's homes or dorms. To do anything – studying, homework, watching TV, playing games – anything, as long as they're together.

They go to the same campus but have different majors. Some are involved in organizations, and some are not. So gathering with a complete member count is challenging. But luckily, today is a semester break, and those involved in organizations are also on break. So, they can all gather with a complete member count. And tonight's hangout is at Mingi's house.

"Ah, you're cheating! If you use Gai sensei, you'll automatically win in the last taijutsu move!" Yunho frowned while playing PS against San. If he hadn't remembered that Mingi's PS controller was expensive, he would have thrown it on the floor by now. The others just watched from behind, enjoying the popcorn and any snacks Mingi had offered to them. Even though they were technically not guests anymore.

San just laughed and continued playing. "Come on, accept it. No one is stopping me from choosing whoever I want."

"Fine, starting now, I'm making a rule that you can't use Gai sensei. Got it, everyone?!" Yunho threatened with annoyance. The others responded with their own remarks.

"Ah, you're exaggerating. It's just a game."

As time passed, it was almost midnight, and they were about to head back to their respective homes. However, the weather outside wasn't favorable – heavy rain, akin to Wooyoung's spit when he's shouting.

So, they decided to stay overnight. No one had a car, and they were going to sleep like this in the living room for the sake of camaraderie, as explained by Hongjoong, the gang's captain, when someone asked about the reason during their first gathering like this a few semesters ago.

So, they slept there. Seonghwa and Jongho on separate sofas. Yunho, despite the cold, slept on the floor with his chest bare. The rest piled up on the carpet with a thin blanket Mingi brought from his room. It was quite a struggle for one blanket that was pulled in different directions. After sleeping for a few hours, their positions became even more chaotic.

Suddenly, they were startled by a loud snoring sound. It was loud. They were shocked because this was the first time in three semesters of sleeping together like this that they encountered this noise. They tried to figure out who the snorer was.

And it turned out to be none other than the host himself.

They were disturbed to the point it was challenging to go back to sleep. They could only glare irritably at Mingi.

"So noisy, fuck," complained Hongjoong.

"Why don't you just put a pillow over his face until he passes out?" suggested Jongho.

"Idiot," replied Wooyoung.

"Mirror, please," San asked Wooyoung.

"Hey, the most idiot one here is Yunho," Seonghwa commented.

"I'm freaking tired. It's like you guys are on Einstein's level or something."

After the commotion for a while, they realized something strange.

Yeosang wasn't bothered at all. Even though he was the closest to Mingi. Almost glued to him.

Of course, because they often slept together, Yeosang was used to his boyfriend's snoring. He didn't get disturbed. Instead, he fell asleep more soundly, listening to Mingi's snoring like it was an ASMR. Well, they knew that Mingi and Yeosang liked to sleep together for several reasons. But Yeosang never mentioned that Mingi snored. Maybe he was just used to it since the first time they slept together. Who knows.

Not only that, they observed that Mingi and Yeosang's positions got closer, closer, and eventually stuck together. Very intimate. Mingi nestled, his face buried in Yeosang's broad chest. Yeosang, like he was on autopilot, had his arms tightly wrapped around Mingi, as if letting go would cause the world to end. For a few seconds, he even stroked Mingi's head. They were cuddling.

With that, Mingi's deep voice was somewhat muffled. They thought they could sleep peacefully now. But...

"Hey, do you guys feel something sus?" Yunho asked.

"Yeah," Seonghwa and Hongjoong replied simultaneously.

"Are they too lovey-dovey?" San confirmed their agreement. He and Wooyoung exchanged glances.

"Don't tell me they're dating?" Jongho wondered.

"Huh, no way. It's impossible. Can you just determine if they're dating based on that?" Wooyoung denied.

Even though, in fact, Mingi and Yeosang are indeed dating.

They just didn't know it.
