Eleven

Of course, Taemin had to leave before my parents returned but the rest of the evening passed uneventfully.

Through the night, I sat at my table and worked on my projects since I couldn't seem to fall asleep. Occasionally, I glanced over at the bed to see her sleep like a baby. She looked adorable when she was sleeping.

The next morning, the mirror showed me a tired face with puffy dark under eye bags. Taemin came over after my parents left and the three of us watched a stand up comedy routine before resigning into our room.

"Hey! Let's read the plays from our English textbooks like every year!" Taemin suggested while going through my shelf where they were arranged according to size.

"I am in." I raised my hand and yawned.

"Count me in too!" Amber grabbed her copy and Taemin sat next to me, sharing mine.

We said our dialogues in a over exaggerated tone. Our hand gestures put the actresses of the Silent era to shame. And the Hays code would have shot down our improvised curses without a second thought.

After the entertaining re-enactment, we cruised through my shelf for the sake of wasting time.

"You have a copy of Daracula's Daughter?" Amber asked while looking through the CDs.

"All of Y/N's movies are of a certain persuasion, if you know what I mean." Taemin winked at her.

"Yeah. I know." She burst into a laughing fit.

"What are you talking about?" I asked them, lost in translation.

"She still hasn't figured it out?" Amber asked between her laughs.

"Nope. She is clueless. Can you believe it?" Taemin hid his smile.

"What are you guys talking about? Come on, tell me!" I asked while shaking Taemin.

They gave each other knowing looks and continued their inside joke. I got a message on my phone and I turned away to check it.

"Ohh! Taemin, I got my salary. Yay!" I took my laptop and started checking my email.

"Get that dough!" He encouraged me and rolled over on the floor, reaching my feet.

"Salary?" Amber crawled towards us.

"Yeah. Umm ... I have a part time job, kind of." I tried not to laugh as I spoke.

"Are you telling her?" Taemin's eye brows were dramatically arched.

"What? Do you do something illegal? Or something embarrassing? Or something like writing for an adult website?" She gave me a sly look.

"You told her?" I turned to Taemin.

He shook his head sharply and looked at Amber with an open mouth, my jaw on the floor as well.

"How did you ... even come up with that?" I tried not to stutter.

"So am I right?" She winked at me and laid down, facing the ceiling. She was oddly calm for someone who had just said something like that.

"Yeah. I write these articles for an adult website. They are sort of like ..." I started talking.

"She writes smuts. You don't have to make it that complicated, you know?" Taemin's wit cut me short.

I gave out a nervous giggle. "Okay, okay. I write smuts for the website. It's their version of a blog, I guess."

Amber's eyes jolted to me. "How did you even get a job like that?"

"There was an ad on their website and I lied about my age." I responded.

"So you used to use it as a customer?" Her sly look came back to haunt me.

"Most teenagers get curious about this stuff. Especially when you're living in a family that didn't even tell you periods existed till you got yours." I rolled my eyes, but smiled as I read the email.

"But I can't even tease her about it!" Taemin whined. "She doesn't even watch or read stuff like that for their true purpose."

"What? How can you not laugh when you see porn? It isn't my type of sexy thing." I defended myself.

"You are too picky." Taemin teased me and turned to Amber who was enjoying the 'drama'. "And you're too not surprised by any of this."

"She probably has some super power or something. She can read my mind when it comes to things like this!" I joked.

For the first time, I saw fear in her eyes. But it was just a flash. Her smile soon replaced it.

"I am just imaginative!" She responded.

"They loved 'Red Wine'!" I exclaimed.

"Congratulations babe!" Taemin placed his hand on my thigh.

"You have to let me read your stories!" Amber looked over my shoulder.

"Go ahead." I pulled out the website and handed the laptop to her. "Just promise me you won't tell anyone."

"My lips are sealed." Her eyes widened with each line while I smirked at Taemin.

"You're confident!" He whispered.

"Been writing this stuff for a year, I think I deserve to be confident in it." I whispered back.

"I am liking the confidence." He pointed a fist at me.

"It's Miss Fantasy to you." I gave him a fist bump and ran my hand through my hair.

"Miss Fantasy, you are ... damn!" Amber looked up, lips pursed together now.

"I know, baby." There was no feelings like hearing your pen name been said with such fascination.

Hugs and kisses from Cheonsa.
