Cornered

Adventure

-Kat-

I woke up without a headache or any aches actually. How did I even get home or even get changed at that? Wait, was Nine here? I got up and rushed to his room. when I opened the door a soft smile spread to my lips. Nine was in Pjs sleeping soundly in Joongs arm while Joong wore a button up shirt and jeans from yesterday. Both were fast asleep. Now I understood why I didn't have a headache. He was very good at taking care of people when they were sick or drunk off their asses. One of us must have called him. Nine was curled up halfway on Joongs chest with one arm on his stomach and his leg slung across his body while Joong had an arm around Nines waist holding him. Everything we did when we were at the club last might came rushing back to me. God, I was still covered with hickeys still but what could I do about it? I went to the bathroom and was startled to see I didn't have them anymore. Well mostly. They weren't very noticeable. Joong must have used ice and heat to try and help me get rid of them. He was honestly overworked but still cared for people this way. I took a quick shower and changed into a red tank top and some short shorts before checking on them again. Both we're still passed out. I went to the kitchen and started cooking. I took out some pans, putting the cooking oil in it while getting some bowls and putting them on the counter. I grabbed some eggs, milk, plain yogurt, and frozen fruit putting them on the counter next to me. I grabbed a bowl cracking some eggs and added some milk to make it fluffier with a light texture.  I chopped up some peppers and other vegetables and let it cook while I put one cup of milk, a half cup of the yogurt, two tablespoods of honey, a banana, and two cups of frozen strawberries in the blender and let it blend while I started on the rice and bacon. I got down three plates and cups and pouring the smoothie into the cups and taking them to the table. I grabbed the rice, omelettes, bacon, plain yogurt and cut up berries mixed together a bowl setting them all at the table before going to wake the boys up. I smiled. Since they were so close I could wake them both at the same time. I jumped on top of them careful not to hurt them and they both groaned as I wormed my way in the between them making Nine roll away a little to make more room.

Nine: "Mmm Kat. What the hell?"

I giggled and tapped Joongs arm knowing he was awake but falling back to sleep.

Kat: "Cmon lazy asses. Get up. I made breakfast. Both of you hurry up and come eat before it gets cold."

Joong growled at me but sat up. I smiled seeing the dark hickey placed in the middle of his neck and looked  at Nine who was standing up looking a little dazed from sleep. Obviously the hickey was from him but Joong didn't take advantage of him seeing as he was walking fine. I knew from experience that Joong went hard as hell. So hard you couldn't walk for days. Good sign.

Kat: "Joong."

He looked at me with his messy hair and his shirt a wrinkled from sleep up but was wide awake.

Joong: "Yeah?"

Kat: "Thank you For bringing us home and giving me the pills and helping us get dressed and cooled down. You didn't need to. Also for the uhh help with the hickeys."

He smiled lightly and nodded.

Joong: "I owe you still. That doesn't even make up for half of what you did for me."

I sighed lightly and felt a small pinch in my gut. He was talking about when he got drunk and cheated on me. He still always fells so guilty about it when I really wasn't mad anymore about it because it made us both realize we didn't love each other like that anymore. As I turned to leave I seen Nine leaned against the wall passed out making me smile again as I left the room. When they came in Nine looked adorable in a pink hoodie and in his PJ pants. They we're different from the ones different he slept in but still PJ pants. Joong still wore his outfit from yesterday because he didn't plan on staying over or probably taking us home to find out we lived together I don't think.

Nine: "This looks great. When did you get up?"

I smiled.

Kat: "A while ago. I seen you and Joong here cuddling so I didn't want to wake you. Now eat."

We all sat down and I seen Joong wanted to ask but didn't. He didn't speak really while he was deep in thought and basically just moving food around the plate with a sad and tired look.

Kat: "Joong? Is everything okay? Your zoning out."

His slightly lighter eyes met mine and that was how I knew he wasn't doing so well. Nine had excused himself to the bathroom so I took his place next to Joong.

Kat: "Did something happen?"

He bit his lip. I had never once seen him cry before. Not even after his parents but he had tears threatening to fall on his cheeks.

Joong: "I- I just can't help but think about them. The date is coming up and this movie was something I've been working on for such a long time because it was my brother who wrote it. The only reason it was going to air was because Yuna and I made the public think we were dating and they were excited for it. Then I messed up. No, I don't regret it but I feel like I've let him down you know?"

I nodded. I knew how he was feeling because his brother had been amazing and a had a wonderful vision for his future before his death. I saw Nine coming back and lightly tapped his thigh he wiped his tears and got up.

Joong: "It's my day off today so take a rest. You don't need to go in when I don't. Relax."

He wasn't looking up either so I knew he wasn't doing very well but didn't want to show Nine. He turned away and went out the front door.

Nine: "What happened? I wasn't gone for long. He seemed upset about something. "

I pet Nines head softly. It wasn't my place to tell Nine about Joongs history. He knew his parents had died but nothing more.

Kat: "I'll take the day off too. Let's go ice skating."

He shrugged with a smile and nodded. That meant we both needed to change.
