Chapter 27

"Hey man... yeah, I know, Namjoon... it wasn't exactly my choice to spend the night... her aunt literally locked me up in.... yeah, be right there man... yes, I know that... yup."

Sunlight twitched Carmela's eyes open as she awoke to the sound of Tae's voice. Wait... TAE??!! 

Oh. 

Right. 

Fuck.

She turned over to him, yawning. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, tapping away at his phone, his back facing her. Was he talking to Namjoon just now? Oh right, they lived together or something. Carmela suddenly became curious and wanted to know more about this boy, and about all the boys. She sat up and picked her phone up. Today was Wednesday, no work. She felt sort of sad it wasn't practice today, but she thought of making plans with some of the boys instead. 

"You're awake?" Tae said, his head turned around to Carmela. 

She suddenly felt embarrassed waking up in the same bed as him, and all those things they said last night to each other, and the way he touched her face and the fact that she definitely had some sort of feelings for him... it made her shiver. 

"What do you think?" She snapped. 

"I was just--" 

"My eyes are literally open. You can clearly see me sitting up with my phone in my hands, so what was the need to ask 'Ooooh, aRe yOU AwAke?'" She mumbled, imitating his deep voice. He sighed loudly, and she swung her legs off the bed, facing away from him.

"Hell, Carmela. Whatever, I gotta get to work--" He wearily said. Carmela turned around in confusion. He was standing and pulling on his grey sweater over his t-shirt. How was he so tall and why was his body so--

"Work?" She asked, gulping and shoving those thoughts from her mind.

"Yeah. I work at the club bar remember?" Tae said, glancing at her. His voice was gentler than usual. Carmela instantly regretted snapping at him.

"Ah." She got up and walked to the door, turning the door knob. She sighed in relief as it swung open. She spun back to Tae, who was fixing his hair in the wall mirror. She suddenly felt... shy. Huh. Carmela Lee... shy.

"Ahem... the door's open now." 

"Great." He took a last look in the mirror and hurried over to the door. Just as he was about to brush past Carmela and exit, they caught each others' eyes and froze. 

"Um... Well, thanks for last night, I guess. It was great." He said softly, smiling. Carmela choked and stumbled back. What? Wait...

"W-what do you mean? I didn't do anything..." She said, trying to pull out her memories from the crazy night yesterday. They didn't do anything... right?

"What're you talking about, I actually enjoyed it." He dragged a hand through his hair.

"B-but... stop it, what the hell are you saying! We were just sleeping!" Carmela panicked, raising her voice. 

Tae's face flashed into an extremely confused one, then a surprised one, and then he burst out laughing, throwing his head back and holding his stomach. 

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The fuck, were those tears? 

Carmela felt her face burn, and her stomach felt horrible. Did she actually do something last night? Did she... did she give him a blow job or something? But when? That's not really something to forget... especially with him.

"W-wait. Stop laughing! Tae what... what were you talking about exactly?" 

"Hm... well let's see, I WAS talking about something else, but now I just can't seem to stop thinking about how good it felt and that... that taste."  He said softly and licked his lips, as Carmela felt her legs wobble. Tae laughed even harder at her horrified face.
