Turning my head there was Minho. His messy haired head soft asleep on his bed. Oh god... how am I gonna leave now. He was a light sleeper and could wake to anything. But there was no way I would be sleeping in the same bed as him.

Like I love Minho as my friend and all but... sleeping can't happen . Or well... not now...

I don't want the others to continue shipping us like they seemed to be yesterday. I mean. I'm straight. And I know I am. I like Emma , which just proves it true. But did you see the way Hyunjin rolled his eyes..? I think he was annoyed with me comforting Minho.. I'm not sure.

But that's the past. I need to worry how to get out of this bed. I was on the edge closest to the door so hopefully I could get out slowly. But of course after a single shift to move one leg off the bed, Minho moved too. Although he didn't wake up. At least not yet.

Just as I was about to open his door knob i heard ruffling in the sheets and saw him lift his sleepy body to a sitting position. "Hannie ... are you still here?" I turned to see his messy hair, pouty face, and sleepy eyes. He was tired, I could tell. "Oh hyung im sorry for waking you." I apologized, turning to look him sincerely in the eyes. The light glowing from his fairy lights made his sleepy eyes sparkle, and i couldn't help but stare.

"It's ok, I'm not-" He paused to yawn. "I'm not mad. Just tired , heh" he giggled tiredly. He looked so weak and tired. I feel so guilty. "I'm sorry for bothering you again. I'll head out now..." his door knob was cold and the wooden door to his long hallways just creaked as i tried to slowly open it. Of course i should have known the door would be loud and not quiet like i want it to be.

I let my bare feet touch his soft carpet, passing one of his purring kitties along the way. The cats name was Dori, i remember when Minho first got them. Of course Felix always forgot about this one, and only remembered his other two. And I have to admit Dori was my favorite of the three felines he kept.

I made my way through his halls to the spiral stairs and down into the large living room. It wasn't wide or spacious, but very tall. He had tons of shelves with pictures of either him, his mother, or his cats. Minho rarely got to see his father and would rather not talk about it though.

After having many distracting thoughts, all I wanted to do was sleep. I used my grey hoodie as a blanket for the night since I think i left mine in Minho's room. Hopefully he enjoys it.

After a simple nights rest I woke to the sizzling of a pan and a hint of smoke in the air. Minho can cook anything but breakfast so i bet he just threw it away before I could see since the scent wasn't that strong and the air seemed clear for the most part. And of course five seconds later, the damn smoke alarm is screaming! I sat up to rub my eyes with a loud 'ugh' into Minho's couch cushions.

"Heh... breakfast?" He smiled innocently to me. "Depends. What color is it?" I teased him, letting him know I was aware something had burned . He looked a bit red once i said that as if he was hella embarrassed.

He threw his spatula on the counter and yelled. "You know what, Ji. Just don't eat then." I found it hilarious.

"I'll eat. " I replied, starting to feel bad. I stood and threw my ... blanket? Wait hold on. "How did my blanket get back to me?"

"Oh... I saw this morning that you left it in my room. So I gave it back when I woke up. Sorry if I disturbed you." Minho answered to me. "Oh. Thanks." I smiled. That was nice of him.

"Anyways, come eat. Don't you have to be home soon?" And that of course reminded me that yeah, I did have to be out by 10 this morning. Chan had wanted to meet with me to discuss my hang out with Emma the next day.

He's really protective of her. This one time when we were younger, Emma and I were 12 and Chan was 14, we all went out together. It was to this near by park. Emma and I ran around being stupid kids as Chan watched and I accidentally tripped on top of her. Chan looked ready to throw my ass in an oven and roast me to a crisp.

Finally I decided to move to the table. There waiting for me was two pieces of crispy bacon and a bowl of cereal to make up for burning whatever the main meal was supposed to be. My favorite cereal ironically which was Cookie Crisps. Minho stood eating in the kitchen, quickly eating his own bowl so he could clean up quickly.

"You know, the world isn't ending for another 5 billion years, you dummy. So actually enjoy the food, ok?" I suggested to him. He seemed to inhale the cereal. Or was it he didn't give himself a lot to eat in the first place.

Minho just rolled his eyes and walked back to the stairs. "I'm gonna get your stuff together." He smirked to me as he worked his way up the stairs. Really he didn't have to, but I wasn't done eating the worlds best cereal, so I just let him at it.

After I finished up I quickly hurried up the stairs to help my friend out. He seemed pretty much done when I got up there, so I just helped him with folding my blanket. "Thanks. You really didn't have to though." I stated appreciatively.

We walked back down the stairs , passed three tired kitties, and went right out the door. I thanked Minho for having me of course and crossed the lawn to my own house.

I opened the door to find my sister eating her own breakfast. We gave a small salut to each other as a greeting before I headed up to my room. I'd wait there for Chan to come, but I had an hour or two of free time.

I pulled out my phone to see a few missed messages. One an 8-ball game from Woojin, another a reminder from Chan, and a random message from Hyunjin?

I read the message aloud to myself...

"don't even think about it."
