Junhui POV
Mingyu's house is big, like, REALLY big. Way bigger than I thought it would be judging from how I'd seen it from the outside. Minghao smiles happily at me as he helps me settle in the guest bedroom. Even Mingyu's mother was accepting of me even though we've never even met before. I was even surprised because I always thought Mingyu hated me but he actually ended up crying when Minghao told him the reason. Wonwoo, despite always coming off as an emotionless guy to me, ended up looking pretty pissed and asked me how I even let myself 'go through such bullshit' for such a long time.
I always knew they were nice people, but I never really thought they'd actually care that much about someone who'd always been such a creep. They suggested that I see a therapist or something but I just told them that I'd think about it because I'm personally not ready and might just eventually come around to the idea later.
I'm aware that my 'swings' are a problem but for now I'm just going to hope that I can try to control it from here on out.
I leave my suitcase in the corner of my new room, wow, I can actually get a bedroom of my own, not some living room couch, or a mattress in the basement. An actual room with a bed and a closet and all that. I don't know how but I just suddenly started crying. Minghao hugged me and Mingyu patted my back. "Oh, poor boy," Mingyu's mother said, "you'll be happy here, I promise." Minghao kisses me and I wrap my arms around his waist. "Thank you all so much."
He's truly such a pure human, like an angel on Earth. That's why I'm so infatuated with him.
I recognise his bedroom, and it felt weird seeing it in more detail from the inside, I've only seen bits of this house from windows but of course, they didn't need to know.

Minghao POV
Junhui looks like a huge weight has just been lifted off of his shoulders, and it makes me feel so good that I could help him. When Mingyu and his mother had left the room, there was a brief, awkward silence before our eyes finally met and it was apparent that we both knew what we were thinking.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug, and it was almost as if I could feel the emotion seeping out of his fingertips. Then, in a swift motion, he moved his face directly in front of mine, making me flinch. He looked too beautiful to be real.
It took me a while to notice that Junhui's eyes weren't on mine anymore, but rather, directly on my lips. "Thank you." He mouthed, and I held my breath waiting for that final lean to be made.
All of a sudden, we heard Mingyu's loud footsteps bounding down the hall towards us and we threw ourselves apart just in time when the door opened and Mingyu's excited face appeared in the doorway. "Mom's bought some fried chicken for us, come have some!"
Silently, we followed him to the kitchen and I crack open a can of coke, passing one each to the two taller ones. "Mommmm~" Mingyu whined, making it clear to Junhui that he was a momma's boy. "Can Wonwoo come over tonight?"
She nodded, and I turned to see Junhui's reaction but there wasn't any, it was just that blank, emotionless stare he almost always had. It always made me wonder what he was really thinking because I know that his mind is usually extremely busy. No doubt that he's a genius or that he knows more than he lets on.
At least Wonwoo's someone he's slightly becoming more comfortable with, which is good. It means that he'd probably find it slightly easier to adapt to this sort of lifestyle. Hopefully.
This feels like the start of a new chapter, its an oddly refreshing feeling, I think, but I'm still skittish about what could happen, especially knowing how unpredictable he can be sometimes.
"Hey, Gyu, we still have those coupons, right?" He stopped to think for a while and smiled excitedly while nodding. "Let's ask if the others are free, I wanna go out to meet up tomorrow."
Mingyu nodded, knowing that the coupons were split up amongst us. "That sounds great, I'll make a group chat and we can arrange a time for a hangout." I smiled, throwing my arms around him. "Thanks, Gyu!" Mingyu hugged me back, "It's okay, Hao."
I turned around, and as expected, Junhui was just staring blankly, his behaviour was so unsettling. He was probably thinking about how I just hugged Mingyu. Knowing him for as long as I have, he's probably jealous.
"Junnie! Aren't you excited?"
His face broke into a friendly smile, "Of course." he looked up at Mingyu, his eyes soft and relaxed. "What sort of places do you guys want to go to? Arcade? Pool? If I'm being honest, I don't mind as long as Myungho's having fun." Mingyu smiled back. "Of course you'd say that."
Junhui shrugged, "Well, maybe we all need to wash up now." he stretched his arms. "You two go wash up first, I'll make some food. It's the least I can do to help out right now."
Wow, that's nice, I think I'd really enjoy finally being able to shower by myself.
Mingyu thanked Junhui, showing him around the kitchen while I made my way to the bathroom, taking my clothes off and looking in the full-length mirror. Since meeting Junhui, I've never paid so much attention to myself before. Why though? Why do I suddenly feel so conscious about how I'd look to him from any angle?
Oh, right, because he's a pervert and is probably trying to look for any sort of opportunity to get in my pants.
I got into the shower, flinching from the sudden shock of the cold water, "Ah!" I quickly turned the faucet and was soon relieved to be showered with the warm water.
I couldn't help but think about Junhui's hands on my body, his breath on my neck and his words in my head. I felt so dirty fantasising about him here. I tried to brush off the thoughts, but as I washed my hair, I could see his face in my mind as I closed my eyes. I can never let him know of this, it's too embarrassing.
I quickly snapped back to my senses and I gasped, realising how I'd been touching myself.
"Hyung, are you okay?" Mingyu asked from outside.
Heck, think quick, Haohao.
"Yeah! Spider!"
"Oh, ok."
And that's what happens when you put the bathroom right next to the bedroom. The water quickly relaxes my body, the warmth soothing my skin. This felt good.
