42.The Gym

After a while I get off the couch and wonder around seeing the rest of the house. I walk down the walkway and into a room with a fogged glass door.

I open it to find Changbin inside sweating as he leans against the gym equipment laid out. His face lights up when he sees me.

"Sorry" I say going to shut the door

"Nah, come here" he says shouting across the room to me and I stop.

"Come spot me" he says moving across the room to the bench.

I shut the door and follow him hesitantly, watching as he stacks the weights heavier and heavier onto the ends

"How much is that" I say literally scared of the amount

"A lot" he says grinning as he watches my reaction

He then lays flat on the bench and wipes his palms on his shorts before gripping the bar

"Cmon" he says motioning his head to behind the bench. I walk around the bar and watch as he looks up at me before gripping it tightly.

I watch carefully as he lifts the bar and starts pressing it down and back up again through even breaths.

He continues through his rep before placing it back up on the bar, I grab it helping direct it.

He then sits up sweat coming off him before turning to me.
"You want to try" he says with a small laugh.

"I'm good" I say looking at him, his arms are huge, that would kill me.

"Obviously not that much" he says laughing as he stands and starts taking weights off the ends

"I'm not exactly the weights type" I say warning him

"You're strong" he says watching me before slapping the bench. "Cmon" he says grinning

I roll my eyes and lay down on my back on the bench and he grins.

"don't let me kill myself" I say and he lets out a laugh

"Cmon" he says as I grip the bar as tight as I can

He watches me as I begin lifting it, letting out a groan as it's fucking heavy.

"You can lift it, it's heavy though" he says encouraging me as he rests his hand on the bar carefully watching me as I begin to let it down

"Lower" he says and I get it around my chest before lifting it again out of breath.

"One more" he grins and I let it down again around to my chest

I start to lift it again and it feels so heavy I can't, I keep pushing it up but it starts to fall.

He quickly swings his leg over my body on the bench grabbing the bar and pulling it up like it was nothing, setting it on the bar.

He looks down at me and laughs and I can feel something change in the atmosphere and him basically straddling me isn't helping

He steps back grabbing my hand as he pulls me up on the bench into a sitting position in front of him.

"We gotta work on that" he laughs and I roll my eyes

"I told you I wasn't good" I say and he shakes his head laughing in amusement.

He then walks over to the pull up bar and jumps up gripping the bar as I watch him start doing pull ups.

Where the hell did this guy get all this energy from.

"So what's the story with you and that kid" Changbin says finishing his rep as he grabs his water and drinks it, looking down at me as I sit on the bench.

"Hyunjin?" I say and he rolls his eyes at his name grinning.

"He's not a bad guy" I say defending him and Changbin nods before coming and sitting down beside me.

"I don't really know what we got going on" I say and he nods

"You guys just fucking or-" he says and my cheeks go red and he nods.

"I feel bad for you" he says and I look at him confused

"You're settling for mediocre sex" he says confidently and my jaw drops and he laughs.

"It's not mediocre" I say defending Hyunjin, if he's good at anything it's definitely that.

He nods to himself for a second biting his lip as I watch his attention shift from my eyes down to my lips then back up and my stomach twists

"How many people have you slept with" he asks grinning

"A person never says" I say, knowing if I say 1 he will laugh and not trust my judgement but I know Hyunjin is good.

He grins and shakes his head before standing off the bench. I look up at him as he extends his hand out for me so I take it as he pulls me to my feet.

He grabs his water bottle before walking away towards the door

"That's it?" I say confused as he doesn't say anything

"I'm walking away before I start something you're not ready for" he says grabbing the door and opening it for me as he waits.

I walk towards the door and he grins letting me out.

We walk together down the hall and I feel his eyes on me as we make our way out into the kitchen where he breaks away heading for the fridge.

I scan the room and see everyone's basically gone?

I see Jeongin sitting alone on the couch and decide now is my chance to get his side of things.

I walk across the room and around the couch before sitting down near him.

"Hi" I say giving him a small smile

"Hey" he says sitting up turning to me

We haven't really had a chance to talk yet" I say and he smiles

"No not really" he says agreeing

"I missed it back at the airport you were saying how you had met Hyunjin?" I say pretending not to know to hear his side of it

"Oh yeah, he's like my brother kind of, not really" he says and a sigh of relief passes through me, he wasn't lying

"My mother was dating his father before the incident"she says and I shake my head confused

"What incident?" I ask casually

"He hasn't told you?" he says just as confused

"Told me what?" I ask

"He went to prison and- he didn't tell you anything?" Jeongin says looking at me confused

"Prison? Why?" I say floored, he's a convict??!

"This isn't my place to say anything, I've already said too much" he says and my head starts racing

"I'm confused" I say

"I'd ask him about it" Jeongin says clearly upset with himself he said anything at all.

"I will" I say

"Please don't tell him I said anything" he says and I nod agreeing.

And with that the front door opens and I turn to see Minho, Jisung and Hyunjin coming in from outside with willow and Chan?

"Guess we found where everyone went" I say turning to Jeongin.

"Willow was telling Hyunjin about the hot springs down the mountain so they went on a walk to see them" he says and I nod. Of course he was.

Hyunjin sees me sitting with Jeongin and I watch his jaw clench, what is he hiding?
