Taliah POV

I was so glad to be back at the dorm. It started snowing even harder halfway back and the temperature just seemed to drop lower than low. After I had absorbed a little bit of heat, I told I.M., "Let me go change my clothes, and then I'll make the hot chocolate." He just nodded and headed off to his room in order to do the same. I picked out a pair of black, fleece lined leggings, an oversized fluffy hoodie with bear ears, and fuzzy socks. I put my hood up in order to achieve maximum warmth. I really love this thing. It's just so soft.

When I went back to the kitchen and didn't see Changkyun, I just assumed he wasn't done changing, so I started making the hot chocolate while I waited. I hummed a little tune to myself while heating up some milk. Maybe it's just me, but I think anything heated on the stove top tastes WAAAAAY better than anything microwaved. I let the milk heat up until right before the boiling point, then turned off the eye and removed the pot so it wouldn't continue cooking. I added the necessary amount of cocoa powder and mixed it in until it completely dissolved. I reached up into the cabinet and grabbed two mugs and the mini marshmallows. As I was starting to divide the hot chocolate between the two cups, I felt a sudden warmth against my back. Changkyun must've finished changing the sneaky little thing.

"Jesus Christ Changkyun!" I huffed, "How many times do I have to tell you not to sneak up on me! If your steps are going to be that light then freaking stomp when approaching me."

"Ah. Sorry to disappoint." I heard a voice say behind me.

I immediately stopped what I was doing and froze. That is not I.M's voice. I whipped my head around to see who I had been letting hold me for the past minute. Thank God it was just Hyungwon.

"Geez....Hyungwon you too! Stop giving me heart attacks!" I said exasperated.

"Sorry~" Hyungwon said with a pout and laid his chin on my shoulder to look at me.

"Tsk tsk," I said while shaking my head, "How I am suppose to be mad at you if you look at me like that?" He just smiled that dorky smile and looked down at what I was doing. It's weird, you know. Hyungwon and I.M. are the only ones who don't make my heart race, instead they make it feel fuzzy and warm. Almost as if I'm being nurtured.
"Only two?" he asked.

"Sorry Oppa," I responded, "I didn't know you were home. Good thing I made extra then huh?" And I smiled a big grin back at him. A small blush creeped across his face. He's so easily embarrassed. So cute. As I reached up for a 3rd cup, my back suddenly turned cold. I turned around to see what happened and Changkyun was pulling Hyungwon off of me by the back of his shirt.

"What do you think you're doing to my Noona huh!?" he said. He acted like he was going to hit Hyungwon but didn't. It was quite a funny sight since Hyungwon had quite a few inches on Changkyun. I wanted to be in on the fun too so I decided to tease I.M.

"Ya! Changkyun," I started, "Why did you take away my heater! Now I'm all cold again."

"Yeah Changkyun, why'd you take away her heater." Hyungwon mocked.

"Oh? So, I'm the bad guy!?" Changkyun said while pretending to be hurt, "Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. Since I took your 'human heater', I'll also be your replacement." Then he walked over and back hugged me around my shoulders, and layed his chin on top of my head.

"Ya!" Hyungwon started, "How dare...you just wanted to hug her yourself! Ah, Changkyun you little..." Hyungwon couldn't even formulate his thoughts cause he was so offended. It was HILARIOUS. I couldn't contain my laughter. He just glared at me and I saw the blush of embarrassment make another appearance. In return, I just held out a mug of hot cocoa to him sprinkled with mini marshmallows.
