The perfect boyfriend

Chapter 22

"So, I guess that out?'' Jihoon thinks. The small boy got caught by one of the most noseist people on their team. Seungcheol is nosy yes, but Jeonghan is the absolute worst. Jihoon walked to his own room to think about everything that had happened, he still can't believe it. His features show nothing, like he had been frozen on the spot. Did they really kiss? Did Jeonghan really found out the secret that the younger kept so well.

His room suddenly feels so cold, Soonyoungs room was definitely warmer... Did Mingyu leave a window open or something? Jihoon checks everything but nope. It must be himself. He seats himself down on his bed and gets the note out.

6. Early Bird.
Jihoon starts to chuckle a bit. ''I sure handled that well huh.'' Jihoon knows how Jun is and with who he talks so this one was rather easy for him. Unfortunately he had to trick his own members into his little plans but nobody actually knows why he was up so early, nobody... but Jeonghan.

7. Good Personality
This was the one he had done recently, the one he was most afraid for, the one that got him more then he had ever hoped for. This was the one that just screamed Soonyoung, so he had to gather the courage to ask him precisely what he wanted to know. The small boy lays down and looked at the ceiling. He put the note on his chest and closed his eyes for a bit. He remembers exactly everything that had happened today and secretly wishes this feeling would never stop. He remembers how he wanted to leave the room but the elder stopped him, asking him the most absurd question he had ever heard. ''Did you ever kiss before?'' the words roam through his mind. He blushes again, but a smile on his face was showing. He remembers how Soonyoungs eyes had stared into his, how he put his hand on his cheek. Jihoon brings his own hand to that said cheek and rubs it while blushing even harder. Those were only minor seconds away from the actual happening. The vanilla chapstick that Soonyoung was wearing was somehow lingering in the room. With all of those good memories, Jihoon fell asleep.

Jihoon woke up with a smile on his face. The little composer worked hard to get noticed by the older, even though Soonyoung always clinged around him. It was pretty annoying at times, especially when Jihoon doesn't want to be disturbed. Deep down, Jihoon doesn't really matter. Soonyoung was one of his best friends out of all members. The younger bites his lip a bit, he hates that word. Friend. Normally, it would have been good... but not regarding Soonyoung. Jihoon doesn't want to be Soonyoungs friend, especially not best friend.

Jihoon wants to be his boyfriend, his soulmate, his partner. Jihoon wants to feel Soonyoungs lips on a daily basis. The boy blushes and it's only morning. Jihoon looks beside him and of course... Mingyu isn't in the room. He probably slept next to Wonwoo. Ah, how jealous could he be.

Jihoon steps out of bed and switches to something comfortable, the whole day would consist of working in the studio all by himself so why dressing up, right? The smaller walks out of the room, desperately in need of some coffee. The dorm was awfully quiet. Normally, Dokyeoms voice would be heard through the whole dorm or Mingyu's snores. Jihoon decides to shrugs it off. Jihoon had just taken a few sips of his coffee when Minghao walked in, also grabbing something to drink. The smaller is a bit confused. ''Eh, was your dorm out of drinks?'' He decides to ask why the younger was here. Not that he mind of never was here, but still. It was early.

''No, why?'' Minghao sits himself down in front of Jihoon with some tea and breakfast. ''Just a question.'' Minghao looks at the smaller before continuing his meal. ''It's quiet here. Chaos in ours.'' It earned a little giggle from Jihoon. ''Let me guess. Verkwan? Soonyoung?'' Minghao shook his head. ''Nope, Jeonghan hyung and Dokyeom were having a random rap battle. I think Soonyoung is still sleeping, maknaes too.'' ''Aish, and they sleep through that?''Jihoon had asked. ''Apparently, so I came to eat here, before cleaning both dorms.'' Minghao sighed a bit.

''Sucks to be you.'' the smaller giggled. Minghao glared a bit before smirking. ''You know, you could help me?'' At that exact moment, Jisoo steps into the kitchen rubbing sleep out of his eyes. ''Morning.'' ''Me, helping?'' Jihoon thought deeply. Hmm, he could indeed help the younger out but then he has to face Soonyoung. Or he could be lucky and he is still asleep. ''Hmm okay'' Minghao choked a little on his food. ''Okay? You know I was joking right?'' Jihoon smiles. ''I know, but two dorms is a lot. Let me help.'' Jihoon knew there was cleaning on the list somewhere. He can't seem to remember when or where but decides to check it later on. ''That's very sweet of you Jihoon.'' Joshua had said sleepy but with a smile on his face, he had now joined his younger members on the table to have breakfast. ''You could be done earlier when doing it together right?'' Minghao nods, that's true and he could use the help. On a normal day, Mingyu cleans one dorm and Minghao does the other but Mingyu had something scheduled today. Jihoon forgot, Minghao obviously didn't. Normally they would reschedule cleaning but they had a very busy week so it had to be done.

''I do have rules though.'' Minghao exclaimed as he stands up to put his plate and cup away. Jihoon looks at him as he does the same. ''hmm?'' They both greeted Jisoo who was still silently eating and left the dorm to go upstairs.

Minghao prepares a bucket full hot water with multi-purpose cleaner. It smells like lemon. Jihoons smiles. Lemons smell really good. Minghao gives him a few cloths and a drying towel. ''Okay, you clean the furniture today while I do the floors.'' Jihoon nods while Minghao looks at him very strict. ''Soak the cloth in the water, squeesh, clean the furniture, soak in the water again, squeesh, go over it again and then dry it with this towel. Understood?'' Jihoon can't really believe what he is hearing. He nods quickly. The smaller doesn't really mind cleaning, but in a correct order? Why even?

He looks around as Minghao gathers the vacuum cleaner and a little cart for a full bucket of water and mop. Minghao also gets a air freshener and puts it in his pocket. What the hell? ''Why are you looking at me like that? This will take the whole day if you don't clean.'' Jihoon blushes a bit. Did he just got told off? The small vocal unit leader starts cleaning the kitchen and after a while works himself to the living room where.... Oh shit.... Soonyoung is awake.

Soonyoung heard something behind him and smiled widely when he saw the younger standing there. Jihoon doesnt know why but the older started to giggle, probably because of the way he looks right now. The dancer stands up and starts hugging the younger. "Ah, Hoonie! You look adorable!'' Soonyoung was flashing his 10:10 smiles at him, a weakness for Jihoons unstable heart. ''Let me go. I am carrying stuff.'' he let out stifly. ''Why are you cleaning?'' Soonyoung was full of questions, Jihoon was done talking. The younger was shy, very shy but couldnt show his blush. Other members would find out that something happened, so Jihoon did what other thing he could do best. Push him away and ignore him.

And that is exactly what he did, it didnt stop Soonyoung. So to say, Soonyoung was used to Jihoons tsundere behaviours and liked it so much that he even got more clingy. It was one of the many reasons Soonyoung fell in love with the younger.

''Shall I help?'' Soonyoung asked but no answer followed. Jihoon was busy cleaning and very busy to ignore his feelings. He hates himself sometimes because of it, he doesnt want to act so cold, he doesnt want to ignore Soonyoung. But he doesnt want to tell him his feelings either. He rather wants to push him away so he wouldnt end up hurt that much, instead of giving in, being rejected and be a total mess. Seventeen is counting on him, on his music. Carats are counting on him... there is too much too loose. Jihoon had one unfortunate event, carats shipped them immensly hard, instagram is full of Soonhoon pages and content. He sees everyday what they could be but probably never will be. It made Jihoon fall deeper, harder, trapped even.

The younger looked at the smiling boy who was helping him clean the room, even if his own room was a disaster. After two hours, they were technically done cleaning dorm 1. Both had sung hard on Queens 'I want to break free'. Soonyoung was dancing and both were having fun. Even Minghao joined in, after he sprayed every single room with his airfreshener. Jihoon always wondered why their dorm smelled like freshly washed clothing.

The other members had helped cleaning dorm number 2, except for Mingyu that is. Seungkwans sort of helping was scolding Vernon on every spot he missed, it made Jeonghan laugh lots. It was 12.30pm when Jihoon finally reached his studio. He had still a lot to do. At the end of the day; a new song was born. Jihoon was happy.
