"Well," the guest spoke, visibly amused, "Is this your new toy?"

Jaehyun, on the other hand, kept his eyes glued to Taeyong, without saying anything for a couple of seconds.

"Taeyong, this is Kim Mingyu, a friend of mine," he eventually spoke. "Come closer and take a seat."

Toy! He was a fucking toy!

He knew he was rude for not saying anything and for pulling a chair far away from the two, but did it anyway.

"Closer," Jaehyun said calmly, and he rose with a huff, only to move two chairs closer, but still not right next to the two men.

"Closer," the blond beckoned him again, without changing his tone or looking even a tiny bit annoyed at Taeyong's resistance to complying.

Eventually, he sat next to Jaehyun.

The man looked at him for a few seconds, with an unreadable expression in his beautiful eyes.

"Are you hungry?" he asked politely.

"Of course I am," Taeyong snapped, wanting badly to avoid sounding like a child.

Nonetheless, it was clear from Mingyu's amused expression that he was failing to do so.

"You were sleeping so soundly that I decided to let you be. We were just waiting for you to wake up."

"I woke up on my own. What were you going to do? Starve until tomorrow if I didn't?" Taeyong mumbled.

"I would have sent someone to wake you up," Jaehyun explained in the same even tone. "Or I would have come, but that could have meant waking you up in more ways than one."

There was no smile, no emotion on Jaehyun's face as he spoke like that.

Taeyong wished he would not feel pins and needles everywhere as the man continued to stare at him.

"He's a feisty one." Mingyu commented.

"I am right here," Taeyong hissed.

He decided that very instant he hated this Mingyu guy.

Not only because he was so annoying, but also because he was too gorgeous and stood too close to Jaehyun for Taeyong to like it.

Maybe Mingyu was Jaehyun's lover or something.

Anyway, it was not his business if they were intimate or not.

"So?" Mingyu challenged him with his eyes.

"So maybe it's rude to talk about somebody who is just inches away from you like he's not present," Taeyong answered in kind.
