*Listen to Who Do U Love by Monsta X while reading this chapter*

I wake up the next morning in the bedroom that I grew up in. It takes me a second to remember where I am. And then I remember what happened yesterday. I sit up quickly. Shit, Wonho is downstairs. I quickly get ready for the day and quietly head downstairs. I look over the railing at the couch below. Wonho is still fast asleep. I smile as I reach the bottom of the stairs and look at sleeping Wonho. He's so cute when he sleeps.

I decide to sit next to him on the floor. I can't help but look at him while he sleeps. He's so peaceful and he's not overworking himself.  I sigh happily and smile softly.

"What are you looking at?" Wonho's husky voice asks me suddenly. I jump and fall backwards onto the floor. I place a hand over my heart that is racing like crazy.

"Jesus, you scared me." I tell him as I lay on the floor. I hear him chuckle and then he is towering over me.

"Did you like the view?" He asks me. I shake my head.

"Nope. I prefer this ceiling better." I reply. Wonho smiles and then offers me his hand.

"Let's get you off the floor."

"But it's comfy." I start laughing at myself and he joins me. I take his hand and he helps me off the floor. "Thank you."

"So how long were you sitting there?" He asks with a smirk.

"Just a few minutes." I say and try to walk away, but he grabs my hand.

"Wait."

"Wonho, we need to go to work." I tell him and we look at each other. He finally nods and let's go of me.

"But we're taking a cab. I'm not carrying you again."

"Fine."

We leave my parents house and Wonho gets us a cab. We get to Starship in good time and head to the practice room. Another day of practicing. It always feels like this is all that they do, but it does come with the job of a Kpop star.

The guys get into formation and start without having me tell them to. I sit down on the floor to watch them practice. I think they are looking very good. They have a concert tomorrow and looking at them right now I think they are ready.

About an hour into their practice they stop to take a break. The guys walk out to get water, but Wonho is still here. He is still laying on the floor from the song they just went through. I get up and walk over to him.

"Go get a drink. You deserve it." I tell him.

"But it's comfy." He replies with a smirk. He's making fun of me. I roll my eyes but laugh. I offer him my hand and he takes it. Instead of getting up he yanks on my arm and I end up falling right on top of him.

"Wonho! What are you doing?" I ask him in shock. I look over at the practice room door. Anyone could come in at any time. He wraps his arms around me.

"Let me hold you." He says. I shake my head.

"Wonho, we can't be doing this." I say. My body is starting to register that he is underneath me. I want off of him before anything else happens. He slowly takes his arms from around me and I quickly stand up. I turn my back to him and place my hand on my head. Oh god. Get ahold of yourself. I take a couple deep breaths.

The door opens and the guys come walking back in. I pretend nothing happened and sit in my spot to keep watching them practice.

Sometime during their practice I leave them and go to my office. I go to do paperwork, but mostly to clear my head. I was in a dangerous position there with him. Makes me wonder if he actually knows how I feel and is doing it on purpose. I put my face into my hands and groan.

"Laying on top of him was so nice though." I say out loud to myself. I smack the top of my desk with my hand. "No! Stop talking like that."

A knock on my office door almost makes me jump out of my chair. I look up at the door.

"Come in." My office door opens and Wonho walks in. He doesn't say anything and goes straight over to the couch that sits across from my desk. He sits down and lays his head on the back of the couch and looks up at the ceiling. I watch him for a second before looking at my computer.

"Can you come and sit with me?" Wonho's question fills the silence. I get up from my chair and walk over. He never looks up or moves. I sit down next to him and look at him, waiting for him to say something.

"What's wrong?" I ask him, growing concerned about him. He turns his head to look at me. He looks sad and my concern grows.

"Are you uncomfortable around me?" He asks. His question takes me by surprise.

"Of course not. I could never be uncomfortable around you, Wonho." I reply sincerely.

"Then why do you always shy away from my touch, Tabby?" He asks. I look away from him. "See. There's something you're not telling me."

"You're right there is. I just don't want it to be weird for us if you don't feel the same." I reply softly and look at him again.

"It could never be weird." He pauses for a second before continuing. "I like you, Tabby. A lot actually."

My eyes go wide. Everything that he has been doing lately starts to make perfect sense. He likes me too? What is actually happening right now? This never happens.

"You like me?" I ask him and point to myself. "You could have anybody in the world."

"You are my anybody. I chose you out of anyone else in the world." He tells me. Gosh why is he so sweet?

"And I'm just one out of thousands who like you." I reply really softly. He brings his face closer to mine.

"Wait. You like me too?"

"Why else would I be so weird and nervous around you." I say and he starts to smile.

"How cute." He says and rubs my face with his thumb. He brings me into his arms and I don't resist him this time. I smile as I rest my head on his chest. I have finally told my secret and it actually feels good.
