FIFTH FLOOR .. lhc（✓）

DAY 31

the said date sounded absolutely perfect to sua.

donghyuck? not so much.

"uh," he glanced at the girl without turning his head away from the oven, "are they supposed to bubble like that?"

the noirette flicked her head in his direction, her short hair flying over her shoulder and onto her back. "of course, dummy. you're witnessing the scrumptious flavors absorb my love."

he watched with a small smile as sua placed her finger to her temples and stared so intensely at the bagel bites in the oven he thought they'd burst. hyuck placed his chin in his hands and leaned against his knee, as they were both sitting on the floor in front of the oven, and looked at the girl.

"what about me?" he made his voice higher, and sua found herself giggling. she turned her head, her eye-scrunching smile on full display, and mimicked the 'sending love' move she'd performed on the bagels.

donghyuck blushed at her cuteness. sua laughed at his reaction and flung her arms around the idol, peppering his face with butterfly kisses. hyuck screamed and tried to escape from the ticklish affection, which he obviously failed.

a giggle ripped in the girl's chest as she settled in his lap, arms still looped sweetly around the boy's neck. he looked up at her, hand resting gently against the low of her back.

"enough love for you?" she joked, and hyuck cracked a grin. "oh, never."

sua didn't even feel her smile anymore, it just always appeared whenever she was around the idol—her boyfriend.

the two continued watching the little bagels in the oven until donghyuck brushed his nose against the back of the girl's neck, his chin resting calmly on her shoulder. "will you be okay alone, beau?"

his voice was quiet, but goosebumps still rose on her skin where his words hit her flesh. sua nodded, not pulling her gaze from the oven. sua leaned back into hyuck's chest with a silent sigh. his arms hugged her waist, chin still on her shoulder. the silence gave him his answer, and donghyuck pressed a little peck against the soft space below sua's neck.

the oven timer dinged, causing sua to flinch. she grazed her thumb over the boy's hand and stood to grab the bagel bites. donghyuck rose next, moving around the counter and staring at the pan of mini pizzas across from sua.

the idol lifted his gaze from the food to his girlfriend, eyes still holding confusion. "this is really gonna be our first date?" the noirette looked up at him and nodded.

"you don't want me to spoil you with a nice dinner or anything?"

sua shook her head. "the only fancy dinner i'd accept is one made by lee taeyong."

the idol snickered, slightly surprised with her responses. sua shrugged as she plated the bagel bites. "all i need is you. then any date is ideal." hyuck caught the faint smile on her lips as she spoke, and his heart skipped a beat.

"good. because you're all i need, too."

they stared at each other for a good three seconds before cringing in unison and making fake puke sounds. the kitchen filled with lighthearted laughter as the couple teased each other.

sua slid a plate over to donghyuck, chuckles finally dying down. "and now, the lion king?" she watched the idol's entire face light up with excitement. "in sua, you know me so well." he forced his voice to crack and wiped fake tears as the girl rolled her eyes.

"i know, i'm just amazing like that."

and so, sua and donghyuck found themselves cuddled in front of the tv with their bagel bites. it was oddly quiet as they got into the movie. she wasn't sure what she was expecting, but the girl couldn't help but find herself drawn to hyuck's stunning side profile as he watched the film in absolute concentration.

before sua knew it, the credits were rolling. she let a random show turn on as background sound when she felt hyuck nudge her with his knee. once she faced the boy, sua could already see the question he wanted to ask shimmering in his dark irises.

a gentle smile tugged at sua's lips as she leaned her head against the idol's chest, eyes still trying to meet his. "i'll be fine alone. huiseon already told me to lock everything up."

hyuck sighed through his nose and started combing his fingers through the noirette's short locks. "okay, okay. just call me and i'll come here if you need anything; the members too." sua flashed a genuine smile and started playing mindlessly with donghyuck's fingers.

"i will, i promise."

the girl really didn't want to bother him with her problems again, since she'd needed to invite him over already once before. but now they were officially dating... so would it be less embarrassing if she did need him to come? sua wasn't sure, but she just knew she didn't want to bother him.

donghyuck, on the other hand, didn't want the girl to leave his arms. he wanted to believe that she'd be okay on her own, but deep down he knew she wouldn't. still, he didn't want to overstep his boundaries.

"well," sua hummed, quickly wanting to change the subject, "think the other members miss you yet?"

"me? oh, always. i'm surprised they haven't broken the door down yet."

sua sat upright, already missing the feeling of his fingers in her hair. "they can try. i am quite dangerous." she wiggled her brows for effect, smiling when the boy laughed.

it was already late, so the two decided to call it a night. well, that along with the fact that doyoung texted to remind donghyuck of his 'curfew'.

they stood in front of the door, hands loosely intertwined. "i guess this is goodnight,"

the idol smirked. "i guess. we'll just have to do this again, i suppose."

sua shrugged nonchalantly, pursing her lips for effect. "i mean, if we have to."

haechan squeezed her hand and the girl laughed at her own sarcasm. "fine. i'd love to do something like this again." she stepped forward, arms hanging lovingly over his shoulders. a quiet kiss was placed on his lips, and donghyuck let his eyes flutter shut to remember the feeling.

sua pulled away after a few seconds, teeth sinking into her bottom lip to try and lessen her large grin. the boy stepped back until he was out the door, then paused when their latched fingers pulled to their max.

he watched as sua giggled innocently, quickly snatching her hand away and closing the door in a burst of flustered shyness.

maybe hyuck did find the date to be a little perfect.

i'm sORRY FOR BEING LATE AGAIN D:
