The boys helped nurse May back to health but kept what had happened just between them. She had asked them too, mostly so it didn't bring other people into the mix, but she also wanted them to finish their tour. There were only a few cities left.

She stayed in bed as long as she could, sleeping off the pain. Truly sleeping. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders, now that she didn't have to hide from the boys. The fact that she had been freed from the device around her ankle helped as well.

In the early hours of the morning, she felt a light pressure on her forehead. She let out a soft moan and shifted.

"May, it's time to get up. We need to leave in a couple hours."

She groaned and shook her head slightly. But my pillow feels so good...

"Come on." She could hear the smile in his voice as he brushed some of her hair out of her face. "I'm not afraid to pull you out of bed."

May pushed herself into a sitting position, her eyes still closed. "It's too early." She mumbled then fell forward into something warm.

Jongho tensed when she leaned into his chest. She was worse than San when trying to get him out of bed. He stared at her for a long moment, realizing this is the first time they had been alone together since he had kissed her.

He felt a warmth spreading through his stomach when she moved her head back and forth, almost nuzzling into him.

He wanted this moment to last, but they had to leave soon, and he didn't need the members bursting in at this moment. They would never let him forget the fact that they saw him blushing like this.

"May, don't make me do it." He poked the side of her face. When she groaned again, he let out a breathy laugh, then picked her up and placed her on her feet in one swift movement.

May squealed at the sudden motion. When her feet hit the ground, she swung her fists playfully while saying, "How dare you, Choi Jongho!"

He grabbed her fists easily, smirking, until he realized she had stopped to look at him. He lowered their hands slowly but didn't let go.

May felt her breath catch in her throat as she looked into his chocolate eyes. Bad idea. Baaaaaaad idea. You know you can't get attached... Yes, I can, those rules don't apply to me anymore.

In one quick movement, May leaned forward and kissed him. He didn't hesitate to place his hands on her waist to pull her closer while she moved her arms around his neck. She didn't know what had gotten into her, but suddenly, she just wanted more.

The kiss was passionate, needy, and the two of them fought for dominance as their tongues danced. Eventually he won, plunging his tongue into her mouth, eliciting a moan from deep in her throat.

She ran her fingers through the hair at the base of his neck, grabbing onto them to pull him closer.

They heard voices coming down the hallway and immediately broke apart, panting.

May blushed heavily, her pale skin making the red flush even more prominent as she bit her lip and ducked into the bathroom to splash water on her face.

Jongho on the other hand, looked around, panicking. He could feel his bulge pressing against his jeans. He swore and sat in the armchair in her room, adjusting himself so he had his ankle resting on his knee and he was leaning forward a little bit.

"Knock, knock!" Wooyoung called out as he pushed the door open. "Maaaaaaay! Are you up? Oh, hi Jongho."

Jongho forced a smile and waved his fingers a little bit, hoping he looked casual enough just sitting there.

"Yes, Wooyoung. I-I'm just freshening up." May called from the bathroom.

"Ok! We just wanted to make sure, we need to leave in about 30 minutes." He waved at Jongho before leaving the room.

Jongho sighed and slouched in the chair, shifting to try and get a little more comfortable, hoping his arousal would go away soon. He had never expected her to do that, let alone as fiercely as she had.

After a couple minutes, May poked her head out of the bathroom and glanced at him. She had a soft smile on her face. "Are we in the clear?"

"Yeah, I don't think he suspected anything." Jongho sat up and leaned on his knees. "So..."

"So..." May repeated as she moved to sit on the bed. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Well, after last time, you had been avoiding me and... I didn't even know I felt that way. I mean I guess I kinda knew because I always wanted to be closer to you andyoumakemefeelalittlesaferandyou'refunandtalentedandsexyanditjustkindahappenedand-"

Jongho cut her off by coming over and placing a finger on her lip. "Did you just call me sexy?" He smirked.

May felt herself instantly go red again and she turned to bury her face in her pillow, whining softly. I can't believe I just said that!

She heard him chuckle next to her and felt his thumb graze her cheek. "Why are you hiding your beautiful face?" His words were so soft. She lifted her head to look at him. "There she is." He leaned forward and kissed her again, this time it was soft and sweet. "You should probably start packing." He stood to leave, kissed her one more time on the top of her head, and walked out of the room.

Damn... He's good.
