TEN

santana's point of view

Something warm and wet drags itself across my neck, is it a puppy? Fingertips graze my nipple and my eyes instantly snap open.

Well, it's close to one.

Shownu smiles down at me before placing a soft kiss on my lips.

Shownu: Goodmorning.

Morning? I jump up and glance over at the clock.

5:00AM.

Me: Am I late making breakfast? What's the schedule for today?
Shownu: You're coming to work with us.

Oh boy.

It feels like I'm in the twilight zone. People are running by me every five seconds, there's commands being yelled from every which way, it's pure mayhem.

The boys look tired and annoyed. I see Hyungwon fiddling with the straps on his harness, he sighs when he doesn't pull it tight enough. I walk over to him and smile.

Me: Let me help.

He thanks me as I begin to loop and pull.

Me: All set.

He gives me a tired smile and I can't help but feel bad. I rub his shoulder and sigh.

Me: Being an idol is hard huh?
Hyungwon: Sometimes but monbebe makes it worth it.
Me: Who?

He chuckles.

Hyungwon: It's the name of our fans. Mon meaning mine in french and then ya' know, bebe. Our babies, loves, darlings, etcetera.
Me: That's adorable.
Hyungwon: You're adorable.

My eyes widen a bit. He's normally quiet around me, honestly I was convinced he didn't like me quite as much as the others.

Changkyun: Hyung! It's showtime!
Hyungwon: Wait here, we'll be back soon.

He walks off with Changkyun and I'm left speechless.

I watch from backstage as the boys perform 'Alligator'. I'm completely hypnotized by the way their bodies move, the vocals are smooth and the raps bang.

The audience go wild and the boys give a bow before running backstage for their next set. My eyes land on a girl helping Wonho out of his harness.

She smiles at him, not even paying attention to what she's doing. Her eyes linger in places that they shouldn't for longer than necessary.

I don't like it.

I turn around when I feel a tap on my shoulder, it's Jooheon.

Jooheon: Did you like the performance?
Me: I did, you guys were amazing.
Jooheon: Amazing enough for you to leave early and make us a chicken dinner?

I go to answer the boy but a loud giggle cuts me off. It's that girl that's with Wonho, she's all giggly and touching his shoulder. I roll my eyes before turning back to Jooheon, he's smiling in amusement.

Jooheon: Jealousy.
Me: Shut up.

He chuckles.

Jooheon: You shouldn't be jealous y'know?

He glances around to make sure no one is paying attention.

Jooheon: You have six other boyfriends.

His hands connect with my ass and I gasp.

Jooheon: So about the chicken?
Me: Of course.

I smile proudly as the boys scarf down every last piece of chicken. I've never been much of a cook so a lot of these things are trial and error.

Once we're all done I start to clean. Nothing ever stays tidy in this house for long. Kihyun walks in with a smile on his face, as always.

Me: Shouldn't you be resting?
Kihyun: I came to help.

He grabs a broom and begins to sweep. I shrug and continue drying off the dishes.

Kihyun: Hey Santana?
Me: Yes.
Kihyun: Can you sleep in my room tonight?

I nod.

Kihyun slept will piles and piles of blankets on his bed. The sound of thunder booms from outside and a faint smile paint my lips.

I remember running in the rain with my mom one night. We were bored and decided to be spontaneous, I guess that's the right word. Anyways, we ran up and down the street in a thunder storm for ten minutes.

It was truly a moment.

Kihyun's arms wrap around me, I turn around to face him but he's fast asleep. His body shakes here and there. Every time the thunder booms his grip gets tighter.

Slight whimpers leave his lips. With every second that goes by his grip gets stronger, it's like he's afraid I'll leave him.

I rub his arm hoping it's giving him some type of comfort in his dream.
