When Wonwoo wakes up the following morning, his head is pounding awfully. It takes him a while to remember what lead to this awful headache; he drunk too much yesterday and now he's having a hangover, nice. When he thinks about the day before he groans, burying his head to the pillow beneath him.

And when he turns his head, he nearly screams out loud when he sees a guy sleeping next to him.

And not just any guy, it's Hoshi. Hoshi who he met just the day before, Hoshi who he partied with, Hoshi who he danced with. Hoshi who he grinded against.

And now that same Hoshi is sleeping peacefully next to him on a king-sized bed. Wonwoo's suddenly getting hot, and he feels like he might throw up. He is definitely going to throw up.

He gets up quickly and as quietly as possible so that he won't wake Hoshi up, and starts wandering around an unfamiliar apartment. How come he can't even remember coming to this apartment at all?

When he finally finds the toilet, he goes straight to the drum and throws up. It feels awful, but Wonwoo feels betterafter it. He flushes the toilet, and washes his hands and face.

He looks at the mirror, thinking that he looks like he might be dead or something. Staring at himself in the mirror, he notices that he's not wearing the same clothes from the day before. He has an oversized shirt and shorts on. The only thing he recognizes as his are the socks.

Hoshi must have changed his clothes yesterday, Wonwoo assumes and he feels himself flush at the thought of that. How embarrassing. He really must have been a huge burden to Hoshi; Hoshi spent the whole night hanging out with Wonwoo (probably out of pity), he had to practically babysit  Wonwoo as it was Wonwoo's first time drinking, and he even had to leave the party to bring Wonwoo to his own apartment  to sleep.

The thought of that makes Wonwoo groan in annoyance and he rubs his eyes, annoyed at himself. He even considers leaving before Hoshi even wakes up but as soon as he looks out the window, he realizes that he has no idea where the heck he even is. And also, he's wearing Hoshi's clothes and can't find his own clothes anywhere.

So, Wonwoo decides to just wait for Hoshi to wake up. First he drinks many glasses of water, which makes him feel slightly better. Then he wanders a bit more around Hoshi's apartment, taking a note that it's quite small but nice. Then Wonwoo just sits down on a chair in the kitchen.

The clock on the wall shows that it's midday already. His mother has gone to work already, and Wonwoo wonders if she has even noticed that he wasn't at home for the night. She was probably tired after work and went to sleep without even checking if Wonwoo is sleeping or not.

But what if she has noticed Wonwoo not coming home yesterday night? Wonwoo doesn't want her to worry about him. He starts looking for his phone to check if she has called or sent messages, but he can't find it anywhere. Where in the world did I leave it, Wonwoo ponders, trying to remember the last time he saw his phone.

But he doesn't really remember much from yesterday, so it's kind of pointless. Giving up, Wonwoo sighs. He hears shuffling from the bedroom where Hoshi is sleeping, and gets nervous suddenly. What is he going to say to Hoshi when he sees him?

Wonwoo doesn't really have time to think about it as Hoshi already walks to the kitchen, wearing only shorts, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

Wonwoo doesn't really know where to look at or what to say so he just sits there, frozen.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Hoshi asks as he starts scrambling through the cupboard, and takes two cups, "also, do you want coffee?"

Wonwoo sits there wordless, and just nods his head and then shakes it.

Hoshi laughs, "so is that a yes or no?"

Wonwoo coughs awkwardly and finally opens his mouth, "I mean, yeah I did sleep well and no thanks, I don't drink coffee."

Hoshi nods and starts making coffee for himself, "do you drink tea?"

"Yes, I do," Wonwoo answers and wonders how Hoshi can be so casual and comfortable about this all.

Soon Hoshi places a hot cup of tea in front of Wonwoo and sits on a chair opposite of Wonwoo, putting a box of cereals, milk, bread and fruits on the table, "eat something if you don't feel too nauseous," he states and starts eating a banana.

Wonwoo thanks him but doesn't take anything because he is sure he isn't able to eat anything at the moment.

After a short silence he finally opens his mouth and speaks; "thank you so much for your help, and also I'm sorry for being a burden," he talks, more to the table than to Hoshi as he keeps his eyes fixed on the table in front of him, "I can leave whenever you want me to."

"Burden? Who?" Hoshi asks confused, and when Wonwoo tells what he pondered just ten minutes ago, Hoshi denies him being a burden.

"You don't have to worry about being a burden. I had fun last night," he smiles to Wonwoo, and Wonwoo feels relieved to see how sincere Hoshi seems, "and I felt less lonely with you sleeping next to me," Hoshi adds, winking, "and also, what if I tell you to never leave now that I get to say when you have to leave?"

For some reason, Wonwoo feels his cheeks growing hotter at Hoshi's words, and he hopes he isn't blushing noticeably.

"That's a relief," Wonwoo mutters, offering a shy smile.

"No but for real, you might not be able to leave for a while. I put your clothes to the washing machine yesterday and when I take them out you'll have to wait for them to dry before you can put them on again."

"Oh," is all that Wonwoo manages to say as an answer. Suddenly he remembers that his phone is still missing, "by the way, have you seen my phone?"

Hoshi thinks for a moment, "no," he shakes his head, "when I carried you here last night I didn't see your phone. Are you sure you had it with you?"

Wonwoo's eyes widen, "did you actually carry me here?!"

"Why do you sound so shocked? Yeah, I did. You passed out almost right after we left the party."

Wonwoo buries his head in his hands, sighing, "oh my god."

"What?" Hoshi laughs at Wonwoo's embarrassment and Wonwoo lifts his head up to meet Hoshi's eyes again.

"You really dragged my fatty ass all the way here?"

"Well, if I say yes, what will I get for being the best person ever?" Hoshi asks, wiggling his eyebrows at Wonwoo.

Wonwoo just looks at him, the best im-really-serious-dont-even-joke-around face he got, failing as a smile spreads to his face.

"Well okay okay, I got a taxi... but I did carry you all the way from the road to the third floor! Give me some credit!"

Wonwoo laughs, "yeah, thank you. You truly saved my ass."
