May stirred when she felt something rubbing against the back of her head. She smiled when she felt his hot breath against her neck and his arms tightening around her.
"Hello, Beautiful." He purred. She moaned and shifted into him. He hissed suddenly, then said "If you do that, I might not be able to contain myself." He dragged his fingers across her jaw, drawing forth a moan.
May was just about to turn into him when there was a knock on her door. "May?" It was Yeosang. "Breakfast is ready."
"I'll be there in a minute." She called, trying to keep her voice steady.
"To be continued, then." Jongho said, kissing her once before helping her out of bed.
She winced when it was hard for her to walk. Jongho immediately reached out to support her, muttering something about going to hard. Waving him off, she moved to her closet to get dressed, while he pulled on the clothes he had worn last night.
He walked to her and ran his fingers through her hair, turning her so her back was to him. She looked in the mirror and smiled at the deep look of concentration on his face as he braided her hair neatly, securing it with a hair tie he grabbed from her desk.
"How do you want to do this?" He asked, placing his hands on her shoulders and meeting her gaze in the mirror. "After last night, I don't know if I'll be able to hide anymore."
"What do you think would be best?"
He thought for a long moment. "Maybe just keep it casual? And be prepared for lots of teasing..." He scowled as he looked at the door.
"It'll be worth it." She smiled as a slight blush crept into his cheeks.
"Follow my lead, then." He moved to her side, grabbed her hand and laced their fingers together.
"Always." May kissed his shoulder and followed him out of the room.
They walked slowly down the hall, the voices coming from the kitchen making them nervous. Jongho poked his head around the corner, tightened his grip on May's hand, then walked into the room.
"Ah! Jongho, May, breakfast is ready." Seonghwa said, turning to hand them their plates. When he saw their joined hands, he let out an unexpected squeal and dropped the plates, clapping his hands together.
The couple blushed instantly, but the others didn't notice as they all turned to look at the eldest. "What happened?" Hongjoong said. Then he followed his gaze and gasped for a second, before laughing and clapping his hands as well.
When the others caught on, they too clapped their hands and started cooing over the couple, asking several questions at the same time.
"Ok, ok!" Jongho held up his hand to silence them. "If you make a big deal out of this, I swear I will flick you all into next week."
They paused, shocked looks on their faces, then burst out laughing again. "Calm down, Jongho." Yunho said, trying to stop laughing.
"We think it's cute!" San said, wrapping his arms around Wooyoung, who nodded quickly in agreement.
"Just keep it under control, ok?" Hongjoong said, giving them a stern look for a moment. "And it can't get in the way of rehearsal."
"It won't." The couple said at the same time, causing the boys to 'awww' together.
Jongho glared at the members once, then went to the stove to get two more plates of food. May followed him out of the kitchen, not making eye contact with anyone. They went outside to a porch swing and got settled on that to eat.
"Idiots." He said finally. It looked like he was almost pouting.
May poked his cheek then rested her head on his shoulder. "You're the one who said we needed to prepare ourselves for teasing."
He grunted, his pout increasing a little.
"Stop being so adorable." May teased, poking his cheek again.
"I'm not adorable!" He turned to her, looking offended.
May smirked, then shoved her plate into his hands before bolting from the swing shouting, "You're adorable!"
He cried out and started chasing after her. She was quick enough she could easily dodge his attempts to grab her, laughing the entire time. He started whining when he couldn't catch her, his breath getting heavy.
She stopped a little way away, using her past training to control her breathing.
"You're cheating." He said, placing his hands on his knees and bending over.
"How am I cheating?"
"You've been doing this your entire life."
"So, if this were a competition of strength, does that mean I could call you out for cheating?" She smirked at him. He glared at her, but she knew she had won. "Would a little motivation help you?" She said, dropping her voice and motioning for him to come to her with one finger.
Jongho felt his member lurch at the thought and started running after her again. He growled when she yet again twirled out of his grasp. She bolted for the side gate and vaulted over it, laughing when he had to skid to a stop. "Oh, come on!" He fumbled with the latch, trying to get it open. "MAY! Look out!"
May started to turn around when an arm wrapped itself around her throat and started dragging her backward. She dug her fingers into the arm, using her nails to pierce the skin.
She heard Jongho call for help as he finally ripped the gate open.
"Let her go!"
"Stay back boy." The man holding her said in English, then she felt something sharp press against her side. Jongho stopped, clenching his fists.
The arm tightened and May gasped for air. She tried to catch her footing, flinging her legs forward to try and throw the man off balance. That earned her a stab, the knife piercing her skin a little.
"Stop moving, Sweetheart, you'll only make this worse for yourself."
Joe... Dammit...
May met Jongho's eyes, trying to send him the message not to do anything. She could see him grinding his teeth. She mouthed 'no' to him, letting Joe drag her backward.
