Chapter 5

Author POV
Mingi and Eunho had been cleaning up all day, spring cleaning was definitely a must before you did any major project. Especially when it came to creative ones.

"Thank you so much for helping me with the room. It looks and smells great." Mingi said.

"You're welcome, she's waiting for me down stairs, see you later." Eunho said, waving as he closed the door.

"Oh! You must be Hongjoong, I'm his roommate, Eunho." Eunho said sweetly, holding the door for Hongjoong to slide in.

"Hi, thank you." Hongjoong said, ushering through with his supplies.

"You're welcome, don't work too hard!" Eunho said, confused as to why the statement was even a push of encouragement.

Hongjoong stood awkwardly as Mingi set up their project supplies.

"You can sit down." Mingi said, turning back around to push his chair in and grab a pencil and a pen.

Hongjoong sat on the floor and pulled his socks over his feet, setting his chunky sandals in the corner.

Mingi turned around a breathy laugh came from behind his pretty plump pink lips, Hongjoong felt those cliche butterflies at the noise. He wondered why they were there, he's listened to countless laughs before. But Mingi's just seemed to make his wheels turn differently.

Mingi sat down on the floor with him, regardless of the fact he meant on a bean bag, he would never ask his guests to sit on the floor, but if Hongjoong was comfortable so was he. He opened up the rubric he had folded in between the pages of his notebook, the grid lines made it slightly hard to read but he managed.

"I'll take this half, you take this half. I'm not very good at art, but I'm good at research. We can also do the writing part together, you write this half I'll write this half." Mingi said, looking at Hongjoong who seemed to be spaced out.

Mingi's jaw clenched and then relaxed, he grabbed Hongjoong's face and removed his earphones.

"I know you're not ignoring me while we're doing a group project." Mingi said bluntly.

Hongjoong felt his heart race, his face went red and he shook his head and held his hands out for his earphones.

"Did you hear me?" Mingi asked.

"I read your lips." Hongjoong answered.

"I would appreciate if you kept both ears unoccupied while listening we're discussing the project."

"Okay." Hongjoong said, cussing inside his head.

He was supposed to keep them in, Wooyoung's plan was fool proof. He was gonna tune him out, get the project done too, all without getting hard. But he already thought of Mingi's pretty lips doing more than just checking him about ignoring him. In fact he thought the way Mingi confidently expressed his feelings was so attractive, but he felt guilty nonetheless.

"I'm sorry," Hongjoong said meekly, he had never been the shy type, but something about Mingi just made him feel so small.

"You're okay, I'm not angry." Mingi explained, opening a tab on his laptop to start their research.

Hongjoong nodded and ignored the tightening of his jeans in his crotch area, worst idea to wear jeans especially around someone who turned him on so much.

"This is a good site for pictures and I'm finding a lot of information." Mingi said, writing down the name of the website.

Hongjoong just nodded, his voice would give it all away. The fact that he knew what Mingi's side hustle was, the fact that he had listened to all of them, the fact he couldn't control his hormones, the fact that he was semi hard, and he would only get more aroused with every word Mingi would speak, one word would give it all away.
