A few days after their debut, they had a day off.

It's the morning of their rest day, Jiwon was the first one to wake up, surprisingly.

Jiwon thought he would make his special cup of coffee, as per usual. He would sprinkle his favorite powdered creamer, with ice cubes. Also some caramel syrup, if he felt fancy.
He was stirring his coffee as he heard a door open. It was Jinhwan.

"Morning, idiot." said the older.

"Don't even try to be cool and slick. You know that I can be mean if I want to." He chuckled.

Jinhwan wanted to make breakfast, but he knew that Yunhyeong would be mad at him because he would burn it again. Speaking of Yunhyeong, he went in the kitchen with an apron in his hand.

"Here comes our chef." Jinhwan said.

"Shut up! Jiwon-ah, can you please tie the strings?"

Jiwon quickly tied the strings of the silk apron. He would've said no, but he was too tired to function. Yunhyeong then said a small 'thank you' then prepared the ingredients for the wonderful breakfast he was gonna make.

The other two went away because they know that Yunhyeong will throw a fit if someone disturbs his cooking. 

They sat on the couch and watched Sunday morning cartoons. It takes Jiwon back to his childhood days.

"Hey, Jiwon, how are you and Junhoe?"

Jiwon blushed at the sudden question and remembered what happened to them last night.



flashback

It was a long day of practicing and performing for the boys. It's 11:00 PM, and all of them are asleep. Well, not all of them. Jiwon was still watching videos through his phone in his bed.

In times like these, he likes to go on his phone late at night even though he knows he's gonna regret it tomorrow morning.

Little did he know, Junhoe in another room was doing the same thing. Junhoe decided he was hungry, and went to the fridge for a late night snack. Their company assigned them a strict diet, but Junhoe thinks it's their fault for leaving mini donuts in the fridge.

He grabbed the bag, and opened it immediately with excitement. As soon as he saw the sweet goodness, he scarfed them in his mouth, forgetting to close the fridge door and go to his room.

He heard a sound, but instead of thinking it was another person, he thought it was just ghosts having a party in the dorm.

Weird thought, but it's Koo Junhoe, what do you expect?


He continued to stuff the donuts in his mouth when he heard a voice behind him. A manly one. He quickly turned around-

"Junhoe?! What are you doing?"

Oops.



It was his crush, Bobby. He felt his face heat up and quickly put the donuts back in the fridge, and closed the fridge door this time, finally. He could hear the donuts begging him to eat the night away, but the thought of his crush, which is the coolest person alive, see him like that? No way. Not now, donuts.

"W-what were you eating?"

He wiped off the powdered sugar around his mouth, and quickly spit out the remaining donuts in the trash can. Sad.

Jiwon thought it was weird and cute, so he decided to stay still and keep quiet, waiting for the other's explanation.

"D-donuts..." He turned to the older.

"Junhoe, you know we have a diet, right? You can't be eating donuts right now, you might get scolded."

"I know, but I just can't help it! I am so used to just eat away, I mean especially when my mom forces me to! Just please, please, hyung. Don't tell on me, it would be the death of me, a-

He cut off the younger with a laugh. Jiwon thought he was so cute.

"Chill, Junhoe-ya. I won't tell on you, okay?" He wiped off the remaining powdered sugar around Junhoe's mouth that the latter missed earlier. He got the bag of mini donuts in the fridge and sat down on the couch. Jiwon pat the space next to him.

"Let's eat the donuts, hm?" The younger smiled brightly. He skipped to the couch and sat down.

They talked and talked and talked, until Junhoe's body gave up on him and decided that he should sleep, even if he didn't want to. Jiwon found his crush very cute, and decided to take him to his room and tuck him in. After, he went to his own room and  pat himself on the back for being brave, for the first time.

"Junhoe? Hello?" Jinhwan snapped his fingers infront of Junhoe's face.

"O-oh. Yeah, were fine, hyung. He's nice."

The older just nodded and they continued watching cartoons.


More minutes pass and the other members start waking up to the smell of
crispy bacon, and potato pancakes. It was the best smell.

"Hyung is it done already? I'm hungry!"

"Just a minute, Chanwoo!" The older shouted from the kitchen. The wide-eyed boy just sighed, as his tummy was grumbling.

A few more minutes pass, and finally, the food was done.

"Breakfast is ready!"

Those words acted like it was a whistle to a race. They swarmed the dining table, as Yunhyeong was getting the plates and utensils for them.

They all sat next to each other, intentionally leaving two spaces for Junhoe and Bobby to sit next to each other. They blushed and hesitantly sat down.

As the boys were having stupid conversations, Jiwon and Junhoe decided to make a conversation of their own. Finally.

"Hey, thanks for last night..you didn't have to give me your blanket. And thanks for not telling on me.  And um...just t-thanks for being there."

Jiwon blushed and decided to act cool about it. When on the inside, he was actually pretty nervous himself last night, and he almost made a lot of mistakes if it weren't for him not looking at Junhoe the whole time.

"It was no problem, Junhoe. I-I like being there.."

They both blushed, and they realized they were out of their own world when they saw the others staring at them.


They were smirking.



Oh no.


It was a long day for the two.
