Lion's Pounce

Over the next few days I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Hyungwon. There were times I had myself convinced that it was just another dream, that it never happened and I never even woke up that night. But when he passed me in the hall or when we sat down to eat, I knew that there was something different in his gaze. Different in the way he carried himself when he was around me. He made more attempts to be near me, finding reasons to leave the practice room or be in the kitchen getting something when i was cooking. He never said much, but his eyes never left me. It was like a lion stalking its prey, I couldn't shake the feeling that soon he would pounce. 

Unfortunately, his pouncing was post-poned for the next few weeks due to constant members getting sick, including Hyungwon and his roommate Hoseok. He was bed-ridden for about 3 days, but by the third Hyungwon had already caught it. The struggles of roommates. The better Hoseok started to feel, the worse Hyungwon did, and part of me didn't think it was entirely the flu that was to blame for his mood. When I would help Hoseok sit up or wipe him off, he would be sure to be extra flirty, making jokes and biting his lips at me. I would shrug it off, knowing that it was just who he was, but when my gaze went to Hyungwon he would look furious, glaring at Hoseok. When Hoseok was sick I would rub his back and try to comfort him, making sure that he knew he wasn't alone. But when I sat there, my hands on Hoseok, Hyungwon would glare at me. I tried to not look at him when that happened, but his stare burned through me forcing me to abandon any attempts to not look at him. At times he would say he was going to puke, making me leave Hoseok and rush over to his side, but nothing would happen. Hoseok would just scoff and lay back. 

Luckily when Hyungwon hit the worst part, Hoseok was done and back on his feet, and out of the room. It was right after a puking fit Hyungwon was just starting to fall asleep. I sat on the side of the bed playing with his hair trying to keep him relaxed enough that he could fall asleep. I knew that the worst of it was over and by tomorrow he would be better, his fever had even broken. I felt myself drifting off, laying my head next to his shoulder, snapped awake by the feel of Hoseok's hands on my shoulders. He was shirtless, wearing only his sweats, the same ones that he wore the night he surprised me in my room. I felt myself blush and averted my gaze from his pants, or under them anyways. He had a bright smile but he looked concerned. 

"Are you going to sleep in here? Why don't you come lay in bed with me... I promise it will be completely innocent, I just know that sleeping like that isn't comfortable." I thought for a second, looking back to Hyungwon. He was breathing normal but I knew that just because the fever broke he wasn't completely done, he was going to need me. I couldn't leave the room, I needed to make sure I was here for him, but Hoseok wasn't wrong, this was so uncomfortable. I nodded, reaching over to grab Hoseok's hand as he helped me up. But before I was able to turn and walk toward his bed, Hyungwon's hand grabbed my wrist and tugged me toward him again. I heard Hoseok moan, but Hyungwon's eyes never left mine and his hand never left my wrist. His grip was firm and unwavering. I didn't dare try to squirm out of it, just standing there waiting for him to say anything. He never did. He pulled my hand until I was completely leaning over him and nodded his head towards the inside of the bed. I realized what he wanted and nodded climbing into bed beside him. I didn't want to cause a fight or get him so worked up that he made himself sick. I figured the best thing to do would just be what he asked, besides, at this point I just wanted to lay in a bed. Finally he let go of my hand and faced Hoseok who was hiding anger under shock.
