  "To make you laugh, and it seems it worked." 

"Of course I laughed, I didn't think you'd make a joke. A stupid one at that," Taeyong says.

"I thought it was pretty funny, who are you kidding."

"Whatever makes you happy," he says, give you a small smile.

"You're still smiling, so that's something." Taeyong groans.

"I guess I'll have to stop smiling then," he responds, his face going back to the usual cold expression that you had gotten oh so used to. You reach over and grab his hand which was just sitting on the table. You pull it closer to you, which in turn drags Taeyong closer to you. 

You then lean your head on his hand and say, "but I like your smile, it's pretty." With that a light shade of pink dusts his face once again.

"I think you're a little red there, Boss," Johnny teases. Taeyong just shoots him a glare as he pulls his hand away from you.

"It's not like you've seen me smile often, you can't be attached to it or anything."

"I was just attached to your hand and I haven't seen it many times before."

"But that's physical."

"And your smile is physical. So keep it existing." He then gives you a fake smile. You groan and stare at him in hopes of getting a smile out of him. Then it occurs to you that there are seventeen other men in the room that know him better than you.

You end up looking around the room to see if any of them would help you. Most of the responses you got were heads shaking no. "I'd love to help, but I'd fear for my life if I did," Lucas says. You let out a laugh at how scared Lucas actually looked.

"He can't be that scary, I mean he's helped me so much, I don't think he'd harm anyone." A few boys shot each other looks before giving you a shrug. "Uh, anyway. Is there anything I can do in return for yesterday, Yuta?"

"If I wasn't willing to help, I wouldn't have gone. You owe me nothing."

"At least a coffee please, you wouldn't let me pay for mine, so it's only fair that you let me take you out once."

"I don't really see the need in that, but if it makes you happy, alright. Actually, just take Taeyong. He's always in need of a coffee, plus he's the one who told me to go anyway. Without him I wouldn't have known," Yuta says. You look over at Taeyong for approval, which he groans and then nods.
