taehyun groaned as he woke up. he squinted to see the white-yellow light from the crack of his door. sitting up, he sleepily rubbed his eyes and grabbed his phone from the bedside table

9:40 pm

what? he'd slept at 5 in the evening. how did he sleep for that long? he felt his forehead with his hand. he didn't have a fever. 

'taehyun you've gone through something no one should ever go through.. so its possible that your body will react differently after this. side effects can include loss of appetite, lack of interest in everyday things, a messed up sleep schedule etc. just, just make sure you take care of yourself please?'

taehyun snorted. of course, what else was the reason? he should've known.. anyways, he had work to do. the brunette got up from his bed, stopping when he heard voices coming from below.

"yes yes choi soobin?" you're booked go ahead! how many nights are you staying here for?". taehyun heard his mother speak. she had stayed up for the guests? usually she went to sleep at 9. should've told him to bring them in..

 "uh 8 days 7 nights. thanks for letting us in so late! the storm just wasn't getting over!". this time, a male voice spoke. the guy sounded around his age or maybe a few years older. the stomping of shoes and the endless shuffling that was heard told taehyun that there were a few more people as well..

"it's no problem! let me help you with those bags!" "no no i'll carry them!" 

taehyun sighed softly as he put his hand on the door. there were rarely people in the inn. it was located just by the beach, the ocean being the first thing that was seen after exiting the house. the nearest shop was 30 minutes by cycle. some days, the storms would be unbearable and the data would stop working for days on end. during these times, taehyun would look at his mother. her eyes when a bolt of lightning hit the tree a few miles away, the way she stared at the ocean after a long day; the way she told him about his father and how he had kissed her for the first time on a rainy night 25 years ago.

she made taehyun not want to quit

"hyungggg i'm hungry!"; a voice in the distance made taehyun look up. he squinted to catch sight of three guys walking up the stairs. they carried big bags that looked pretty heavy. taehyun almost wanted to come out of his hiding place and help them, almost .

"didn't i tell you to eat something in the car? aish the nerve of this guy?" a different voice responded this time. the first thing taehyun could notice about these people was that they were tall. well, two of them anyway...

"calm down yeonjun. we'll get something to eat don't worry.. i think the owner of this inn said something about leftovers? i'll go ask her after we unpack. beomgyu just be better prepared next time?"

"hmph. its not my fault! who said i control my hunger?". slowly peeking out of the door, taehyun saw a guy with his arms folded. the door of room 3 was open and taehyun caught sight of a tuft of black hair peeking out of the room. 

"i never told you to control your hunger.. just try to predict early next time hmm? i'm not scolding you! please don't think of this as me scolding you!" the tuft of hair was suddenly replaced by a person. he had black hair and dark brown eyes. he stood at around 6 feet and the expression on his face was concerned as he turned to another guy who had spoken before. taehyun couldn't see him because of the door blocking him.  

'is this what i have come to? spying on my mothers guests?'

"it's okay hyung! c'mon! you must be tired by driving all day.. we'll eat something together!". taehyun could sense the mood change in the boy who was hungry. "you go ahead soobin-hyung! i'll be right there!"

"are you sure? i can wait for you if you'd like.."

"aahhhh it's not a problem hyung! now go! i can see the tiredness radiating off of you!" the boy laughed, the way he phrased his sentences, wow this was something taehyun hadn't heard in his entire life. for some reason, this interested him.

the older guy went down the stairs. taehyun made sure to hide behind the door. if anything, he didn't want these people to think that he was secretly looking at them; even though he was...

now, it was just the hungry boy left. taehyun caught sight of his hair as he turned to keep his bags inside. it was a dark black color and resembled a wolfcut somehow. taehyun watched as he ran his hand through his hair and then sighed once before now approaching the stairs. if anything, taehyun was so busy in looking what the guy was about to do next-

that forgot to close the door.

when he noticed the guy stop slightly, his eyes widened. he hadn't been caught, had he? he glanced at the boy and a pair of confused dark brown eyes were the last thing he saw before he slammed the door shut.

taehyun caught his breath. that, that was risky.. never was he gonna do a thing like this in his life. fuck never again. was it so risky that his heart was now beating at an abnormally quick speed? or was it simply the thrill of meeting the prettiest pair of brown eyes? 

who was taehyun to decide? its not like the dude was gonna remember something as trivial as this right..?

little did he know, that on the other side of the door; a particular raven haired boy was staring dumbfounded at the door. because no way in hell did he just see a guy glance at him with his captivating eyes.

and then slam the door harshly. 

on his face.
