  "Come on the bed, Jun! Stop doing that. Just stay here with me. I feel guilty letting one of our nation's top idols sleep on the floor." Mao told Jun as she fluffed the pillows on the king-sized bed.

"No. I'm fine sleeping here. I don't want to let you feel uncomfortable with me being there."

"Oh don't be ridiculous Jun-kun! Stop with the excuses. I know you're tired from filming earlier. The best thing you can do to relax right now, given our circumstances, is to sleep on the bed."

"You sure about this Mao-chan?"

"Yeah. Unless you're trying to rape me or anything?" Mao chuckled as she teased him.

"Nah... I'm not in the mood." Jun replied, laughing as well. Dragging the blanket back to the bed, he obliged to her wishes and climbed on top.

"I can't believe our friends!" Mao decided to break the silence. "I never thought they'd play this trick on us."

"I agree." Jun laid the book on the side table. "They clearly took advantage of us being drunk."
