After greeting Chaeyoung at the door, and directing her towards his room before excusing himself for a brief moment, Jaehyun had made a b-line for the kitchen.

On previous visits of her's to the NCT dorms he'd made the mistake of not telling his members and fellow dorm-mates, leading to a lot of teasing and interrupting on their end, so this time he was going to make sure that didn't happen.

An agonising few minutes of warning and pleading with Johnny and Yuta in the kitchen later, he had returned to his room to find Chaeyoung sitting on the floor, already wearing a jumper of his that he'd left lying on the bed, seemingly distracted by the wonders of all the things in his room.

He'd been cleaning up before she arrived, and that had included rummaging around all the junk he'd left to collect dust underneath his bed, some of which he'd clearly forgotten to properly put away again in time for her arrival.

"Hey" he greeted, after walking over and sitting down cross legged next to her, his smile suddenly overflowing into his voice, finally feeling like they could fully enjoy being alone together.

"Hi" she replied after looking up to meet his eye. His stress from the last few minutes already completely dissipated.

He felt the pull he always feels when their eyes finally meet, and unconsciously began leaning forward, catching sight of her doing the same right before his eyes flickered closed. His heart leaped in his chest at the impending feeling of them entering each other's personal space and then skyrocketed when their lips met softly in the middle.

A kaleidoscope of butterflies erupted in his stomach fluttering against his abdomen, flying up and tickling his lungs, taking his breath away. With their lips still connected, moving slowly against each other, he made the rookie mistake of inhaling her signature, fragrant rose perfume, further sending him into a hazy, Chaeyoung-induced, lovesick state.

Eventually they pulled away, far enough to look into each other's eyes again. Jaehyun released a shaky breath which he attempted to mask by gently coughing into his hand, but the small smile on Chaeyoung's face told him that she saw right through it.

"I've missed you" he said softly after taking a few moments to recover, his eyes boring into hers to properly convey the weight behind his words.

Although they keep in touch, by texting and calling each other numerous times throughout the day, they both know that nothing compares to the feeling of being alone together in each other's presence.

"I've missed you too" she returned, with just as much tenderness and sincerity.

After a-few more moments of palpable eye contact, Chaeyoung broke it, touching her cheeks as they turn red, clearly flustered by their heartfelt confessions. Jaehyun chuckled, her endearing habit of being so easily embarrassed is one of his favourite things about her.

She joined him, giggling too when she spotted how the tips of his ears had turned a very bright shade of pink, indicating he was just as bashful about the situation as her, he'd just been slightly better at hiding it.

The atmosphere had returned to feeling a lot lighter than the charged mess it was moments before and soon enough Chaeyoung's attention was draw back to the object she'd been looking over when he first entered the room.

"What's this by the way?" She asked curiously, pulling out a large box she'd spotted poking out from beneath the end of his bed. The box had been opened, and then seemly reshut, with tape reading 'FRAGILE' stuck around it's perimeter.

"I don't know actually" he confessed as he scooted closer to the item in question, before peeling off the tape and opening the lid of the box to reveal its contents. His eyes scanned all of the objects inside, while Chaeyoung gently leaned her head against his to get a look in as well.
