Just how sincere he was... when he told Dongmin he loved him.

----

Moonbin looked up from his cup of coffee curiously when four boys appeared at the bottom of the stairs. "Finally got them up?" he asked, chuckling.

Minhyuk rolled his eyes. He pushed his way past the three other boys and plopped down onto one of the stools beside the pinkette. "I have never been woken up in a worse way." He lazily, and grumpily, snatched one cup of coffee from the cardboard holder. "For your information, I was having a great time simply cuddling Sanha, but you--" He cut himself off, ears turning red when he processed what he said. No one was supposed to know he enjoyed cuddling the purple-haired male, nor that he had any interest in him, even though it was fairly obvious to just about everyone. He gulped, setting down his drink. He turned to the youngest who was now silently sipping on his juice; Sanha knew it was his anyway, considering he didn't like coffee. The dancer needed to get the attention off his statement and on something else, that something else just so happening to be the tall male. "You," Minhyuk looked at the purple-haired boy accusingly, "why were you clinging to me like a koala?"

"Me?" Sanha questioned. He screwed the cap onto his bottle, watching the brunette in sudden annoyance. "Clinging onto you? Who was the one that was attached to my back, huh? I didn't ask you to wrap your arms around me and hold me all night!"

"Now, now, children. Calm--"

"I did not! You grabbed my arms and forced them around you!"

"Why would I waste my energy doing that?"

"Because you love me!"

"Quite dreaming!"

"You do, but you won't admit it!"

"I do not!"

"You do!"

"I don--"

"Yes, you--"

"Fine! I do! Happy now?"

"..."

It went completely silent.

Sanha flushed exponentially, not understanding what he confessed until after the words escaped his lips. He tried so hard to keep the secret of loving Minhyuk to himself, only to have it come out by accident. He almost always said what was on his mind, but this was one of the things he had refused to admit. "I didn't..." he paused, feeling the heat radiating off his cheeks. "I didn't mean to say that!" He snatched his juice from off the counter, retreating in embarrassment. He let out a whine when he felt everyone's eyes on him. It only made it worse when he noticed that the only one who didn't turn away was Minhyuk. "You idiot!" He booked it and ran up the stairs, drink in hand.

This time, all eyes focused on the dancer. Mouths hung open in shock at the sudden turn of events; eyes were wide. Minhyuk was just as confused as everyone else. He met their gazes only to swallow thickly and look away. All thoughts of the others left his mind. He even forgot his coffee, which was now destined to turn cold. He hopped off the stool and followed the youngest.

Everyone listened to the sounds of the brunette's footsteps fading as he went up the stairs. Once the noise finally disappeared, the silence returned.

"So, uhm..." Jinwoo attempted to say something, but failed. He wasn't sure how to react in a moment like this. He knew Sanha loved Minhyuk, but he hadn't expected it to come out the way it did. The youngest usually kept talk of his feelings to himself. Hearing it so suddenly was sure to knock everyone off their feet. "That was just..."
