Moon Star (Moonbyul x Xiumin)

Chapter 5

The first thing I did when I entered the luxurious apartment was switching on the lights of the blue chandelier hanging up above the ceiling, just between the living room and kitchen. I got to my room which was beside the bathroom and toilet, checking out if everything was in place like how I left it last time. Next, I went to the kitchen and then back to the living room. So far, everything is good. Probably a bit dusty since the cleaning staffs only come to clean the empty apartments once a week.

"You own this place?" An astonished question made me stop in my tracks. I turned to the guy, still standing at the open door as his eyes were wandering around the place in awe.

"Yes." I replied. "Now, come in cause I don't want anyone noticing I'm back." I went over to the door and closed it behind him, locking it automatically with the electronic device that saves up my password.

Xiu Min blinked in awe, not knowing how to react. I bit my lips to cover up a laugh.

"Why? Aren't idols used to these kind of stuff?" I lifted an eyebrow and walked back to my room. I found the dressing table and pulled out a drawer, revealing a set of keys. I grabbed it and hurried back to the room located in front of mine, unlocking it with the matching key in just a few seconds. I could see Xiu Min approaching me from the corner of my eyes.

When the door finally opened, I turned to him and made a simple gesture. "Your room, for now." I made my way in and turned on the lights. There was a king sized-bed, a dressing table completed with a big mirror, a closet, a small table with some stools at the corner and the best part, a glass door leading to a balcony that has a nice and wide view of the headquarters. He's going to start liking this place. All my clients do, eventually.

"Has anyone else been here before?" He asked.

I gave him a quick but meaningful look. "Beyond your expectations."

"What is that supposed to mean?" He raised his eyebrows at me. I smirked. "I've been coming here every time I have a client emergency after the past six years and boy, I lost count of your turn. Anyways, enjoy your stay. We're leaving this place after a few days and then we're off."

"To where?"

"To wherever place I find safe enough for both you, and me. For now, all you have to worry about is how you're going to survive handling all the boringness inside this apartment cause geez, man, I'm too lazy to come out. Plus, I have a bunch of paperwork to do. So, yeah, good luck on that."

"Wait, are you serious?" He said.

I shot him a boring look. "About what?"

"About us not going out? For how many days? I need to eat. I must eat. At least let me order for a fast delivery." He sounded like begging, his hands already clutched to each other as if he was wishing in front of a wishing well.

Oh, boy. And people call him a boy group idol. Pft.

"Groceries!"

"I'll go get it!" Xiu Min ran off from the couch towards the front door while I just shook my head from the kitchen. He's so not opening that door.

As expected, a few seconds later, he was screaming for my name.

"Moonbyul! What's the password?!"

I couldn't help but to laugh at him as I watch him trying to pull the door open. "Step aside, Kim Min Seok." I punched in the mysterious 6 numbers and the door gave out a 'beep' sound, opening up to see a guy looking at us.

He lifted up the plastic bags near his torso and raised his eyebrows. "Arrived within minutes. Shouldn't I be invited inside?"

I smirked. "Long time no see, dude. Come in, Eric."
