warm

tyunning story.

taehyun trudged into kai’s room after his intense workout, the weariness evident in his slow movements.

kai, lounging on the bed and scrolling through his phone, glanced up and greeted him with a warm smile.

“oh, you’re back,” he said, his gaze softening at the sight of taehyun’s tired face.

taehyun mumbled a response, his exhaustion clear in his voice.

“you that tired, hm?” kai asked, earning another mumble.

kai noticed this and, with a concerned look, opened his arms invitingly. “c'mere~”

with a small, grateful smile, taehyun crawled onto the bed and nestled into kai’s embrace. kai pulled him close, wrapping his arms around taehyun in a snug hug.

taehyun rested his head on kai’s chest, listening to the steady, comforting rhythm of his heartbeat. their bodies molded together perfectly, with taehyun’s cheek pressed against kai’s shoulder and kai’s arms securely encircling him. they lay there, enveloped in warmth, their breathing syncing as they enjoyed the quiet.

“how was your workout?” kai asked softly, his fingers gently tracing patterns on taehyun’s back.

taehyun let out a contented sigh. “it was more intense than any other. i’m completely drained. my everything hurts.” he pouted.

kai chuckled lightly. “well, you definitely deserve this break. go to sleep, hm?”

he nodded in reply, but a few moments later taehyun’s eyes fluttered open slightly as he looked up at kai, a small, needy expression in his eyes. “hm? what is it?”

with a shy but hopeful look, taehyun whispered, “… kissy?”

kai’s eyes widened in surprise. before he could react, taehyun leaned in quickly, trying to steal a kiss. however, kai, with a playful smirk, moved his head away just in time.

“ah ah ah~” kai teased.

taehyun pouted, his voice taking on a pleading tone. “awwh… pleeeaseee.”

kai sighed dramatically but couldn’t resist. he leaned in for a gentle kiss, but taehyun, eager for more, deepened it. when they finally pulled apart, taehyun wasted no time in peppering kai’s cheek with playful kisses.

kai laughed, thoroughly enjoying the affection. he then leaned in and placed a peck on taehyun’s cheek.

“hah, you’re really cute,” kai said, his voice filled with genuine affection.

they eventually settled into a comfortable position, their bodies entwined as they drifted off to sleep, the night wrapping them in its serene embrace.

there was a knock on the door, and a giggle heard from outside. kai got up, but taehyun tightly held his wrist.

“oi, the door-?” kai asked.

“no… just stay,” taehyun said.

kai sighed, looking at the door, before leaning down to give taehyun a peck on the cheek, “i'll be right back.”

kai walked off, and taehyun stood up swiftly, wrapping his arms around kai’s waist and putting his head on his back as he walked.

kai opened the door, seeing nothing, he smirked, whispering to taehyun. “it's beomgyu playing tricks, hahah.”

he closed the door, waiting behind it with taehyun still holding his waist.

beomgyu walked down the hallway with yeonjun; they knocked, but before they could run, kai caught them. “you rats!” he laughed, his hand on taehyun’s, which was on his waist.

beomgyu and yeonjun laughed, but taehyun just hugged kai from behind silently.

“hahahah! look at taehyun; he's like a koala!” he pointed, smacking yeonjun as he laughed. yeonjun gave him a glare but couldn’t hold a laugh back.

taehyun’s head tilted to the right with a giggle. “i have an idea; why don’t we all sleep over in one room?” kai smiled at taehyun’s idea, nodding.

beomgyu went inside taehyun and kai’s room as yeonjun dragged soobin out of their room.

“come on!” yeonjun pleaded.

“ugh fine.” soobin mumbled, taking yeonjun’s hand in defeat as they walked into kai’s room, all settling on one bed together.

the bed was a tight squeeze with all four of them, but they made it work, laughter filling the air as they jostled for space. taehyun found himself in the middle, flanked by kai on one side and soobin on the other.

“this is cozy,” soobin grumbled, trying to find a comfortable position while beomgyu sprawled across the end of the bed.

“cozy or cramped?” beomgyu shot back, trying to push himself closer to yeonjun, who was trying to claim some space for himself.

“cozy!” taehyun insisted, smiling at the chaos around him. he turned to kai, who had his arm draped protectively over him.

“i’m glad we all decided to do this,” taehyun said, his voice soft.

“me too,” kai replied, pressing a kiss to the top of taehyun’s head.
