Coincidence (EXO)

12: Yihyun

It was getting late and darker outside while the moon casted its light over the city. Before I knew it, I was getting sleepy and if someone would mention a bed I would grunt just by thinking of it. I looked around his room trying to find something interesting but it was plain and simple, looking too modern for my taste. His room was always tidy since the maids cleaned it earlier so if I wanted to search for something bad in his room then I wouldn't have any luck on that. I looked at the nicely made bed while thinking of how soft and cozy it would be to slip underneath the non-wrinkly sheets.

I hesitated before sitting on it and then I started to bounce on it to feel how nice it was. It was unrealistically comfortable compared to that horrible couch but the thought of it being his bed made me shiver.

But then I looked at the couch and began to frown and started to think that maybe just this once, this once would make it up for a whole week with that terrible couch.

So I decided to go to sleep on his bed, but not the side he’s sleeping on because it would feel weird. 

I locked the door and changed to my usual shorts and a tank top since it was a hot summer night and I've always had difficult sleeping whenever it was too hot. It was quite revealing but I thought that it’s okay since Kai is not here to see me anyways. I opened the window to let fresh air fill the room to cool it down.

I laid down on the bed without using the cover while staring at the ceiling. I started to turn around, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep on but it seems like his bed was too soft for my liking.

I accidently inhaled a deep breath and noticed that there was a masculine yet a soft and sweet scent on his sheets. It made me think about him, wondering if this is really how he smells like because it smellt good. For a second, I felt sorry for him for practicing this late but then I was reminded of what an asshole he is and the pity I had for him washed away. I stopped thinking about him and easily went to sleep while his scent surrounded me.

Kai's Point Of View.

It was 1 a.m now and we’ve been practicing almost all day long with the others. They were all sweating and yawning and I was looking exactly the same as them. Our manager told everyone to take a break and eat something to power up before starting again.

“So, how’s it going with this Sam-girl?” Lay asked out of nowhere when we were all sitting down on the floor. Everyone in the room started to look at me, looking all curious. I scowled; what is he assuming?

“Good,” I said, not really knowing what I meant with that. I'm sure I meant that she was comfortable around the house now.

“So you like her?” Sehun asked, sounding awfully excited. I stared at him with an arched eyebrow. I could tell he was trying to read my face but as usual, I had a poker face on. He sighed in frustration because he had failed and went back to chatting with Luhan.

“Who’s Sam?” Xiumin wondered, “Your girlfriend?” he continued and looked at me with narrowed eyes while he showed a teasing smile. 

Before I could answer, Tao did; “Hyung, she’s living with him. Apparently they’re sleeping together,” he ended casually with a monotone, receiving attention. Luhan, Sehun and Lay started to laugh since they were the only ones that understood.

The other members that weren’t there that day all gasped and looked at me like I was committing a crime. I just shook my head before chuckling. "You are what?!" the rest said in unison.

“Calm down, she’s just sleeping in the same room as me.”

"You are what?!" they repeated, more shocked then ever. "So she is your girlfriend?" Chanyeol wondered while his eyes were unnaturally big.

I shook my head because they were being stupid and gulped down water from my water bottle. I rolled my eyes in the meantime while looking at the ceiling before Sehun started to explain to them the whole situation.

“She’s really pretty,” he added. “And she's a junior,” he said to the other juniors. Chanyeol, D.O, Chen and Baekhyun started to widen their eyes in interest when they heard it. I just looked away, showing that I didn’t care. And then Kris interrupted everything, which was lucky.

“We’ll practice the dance a few more times and then we’ll go home.”

“I thought we were sleeping here together tonight?” Kyungsoo asked. Everybody looked at Kris because they were also confused while waiting for an answer.

“I know but I talked to our manager and he said that they will alarm and lock the place tonight.”

Everybody seemed to be disappointed, but I wasn’t. I didn’t want to sleep here in the first place. Why would I pick a place like this over my own house and bed? Besides, I get to annoy Sam in the meantime. I wonder what she’s doing right now. I bet she misses me.

We all danced while having a good time, laughing, punching, annoying and bullying each other. I decided to sing some songs since we only danced today so it would be good to finish it off with singing, training my vocal cords. Even though I barely sings on the songs we've practiced. We were singing some old love songs when Chen said something to me to make me improve.

“Kai, sing with your feelings. Right now you’re only using your vocal cords. You need to make it feel more real and natural,” he said. I sighed in frustration because this is one of the problems I have. I’m dancing, and I’m dancing well. But as a singer, my singing doesn’t reach out to people. I was thinking of what to do when Kris came up and said, “I know you have troubles with expressing your feelings. But try to think of someone that you like. Someone that makes your heart flutter.”

One person immediately came up in my mind automatically.

Yihyun.
