There was a soft hum ringing in the air. Jonghyun. Jinki raised his head. He couldn't see anything from the tangle of limbs that was Minho hanging off his chest. They were supposed to be watching a movie, but now Taemin and Minho had fallen asleep. Kibum's eyes were open; he was smiling slightly at the scene around him. he looked strangely... pretty. Jinki closed his eyes. he could imagine himself taking Kibum into his arms and hugging him tight. Jonghyun's humming continued.

"Kibum, are you alright?" Jonghyun suddenly asked.

"Yeah?" the said man looked up at him. Jinki couldn't resist opening his eyes to sneak a glance at Kibum. He looked remarkably beautiful, in Jinki's opinion. The leader shook his head. He shouldn't be thinking like that. He closed his eyes again.

"Oh." Jonghyun shook his head. "I should go to bed, sleeping here is uncomfortable. I can wake up Minho and Taemin and you can wake up Jinki-"

"-because he's hard to wake up right?" a light giggle escaped Kibum's mouth. Jinki could feel his heart flutter.

Jonghyun's deep sigh came from somewhere above him. "Yeah."

Minho and Taemin woke up quickly, them sleepily stumbling towards their bedrooms. Jonghyun followed them, a sickly sweet smile gracing his face when Kibum made a face at him.

Jinki waited patiently for Kibum to try and "wake" him up. He didn't know why he was nervous. He shouldn't be thinking like that. There was no need to think like that.

"Jinki hyung?" Kibum's soft voice floated to his ears gently soon enough. "Jinki hyung, wake up."

A tug came from his arm. Kibum was tugging his arm to try and wake him up.

"Jinki hyung, it's late, I want to go to sleep."

Jinki blearily opened his eyes. Kibum's face was so close to his own... so close... he could reach out and touch it. Kibum was even more beautiful up close. His cat-like eyes were lined with a veil of exhaustion, but underneath, they were full of life.

"Jinki hyung, it's late."

"I know," the leader said quietly.

Kibum was about to get up from the couch, but then turned with a frown on his face. "Is something wrong? You alright?"

Jinki sat up. Kibum was still so close to him. He could feel his skin heating up. Kibum was almost too close to him.

"No, nothing is alright."

Kibum's eyes widened.

Jinki's hand automatically went around Kibum's neck gently and brought his face closer. Kibum was startled by the action but he didn't mind it at all. In fact, he felt strangely comfortable, like he should've done this a lot earlier. Jinki, on the other hand, was startled by his own actions but when he saw that Kibum was okay with them kissing, he relaxed.

"Is that better?" Kibum asked when their lips finally separated.

Jinki nodded. His face had probably turned bright red. He didn't even know why he did that. Kibum was probably disgusted right now.

"I-I'm sorry for what I just-"

"No, no, don't be sorry!" Kibum's hands flew up to wrap Jinki in a hug. "This was a fun experience."

The leader, nodding weakly, allowed himself to fall into Kibum's waiting arms. He finally felt a little calmer. Kibum hadn't thought he was disgusting. but Jinki knew the truth; Kibum wasn't as madly in love with him as Jinki was with Kibum. Jinki could barely stop thinking about Kibum at times, he just wanted to be with him and know that Kibum was his. But Kibum didn't want to be with Jinki, he just saw him as his leader and his bandmate.

Then Kibum detached his arms from around Jinki's shoulders. he looked deep in to the leader's eyes, smiling gently when he saw the slight fear in them.

"Hyung... are you free this weekend? We could go somewhere."

"Go somewhere? Like on a date?" Jinki asked. His heart was thumping out of his chest, this couldn't be happening.

"Yeah, I'm asking you out genius."

"Why?"

Kibum rolled his eyes. "Because I like you hyung."

Jinki's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Yes, of course! Now... is it a yes or a no?"

"It's a yes from me," Jinki squealed.

Kibum laughed. "You're so adorable."

Jinki felt like he had died and gone to heaven as he fell back into Kibum's arms, sighing softly. The fluttering feeling inside of him grew; he was so happy.

"What did he say?" Taemin crouched by the wall of the hallway as he looked up at Jonghyun and Minho.

"Jinki hyung said yes!" Jonghyun giggled.

"Yes, finally!" Minho reached across to give the singer a high five. "It was so obvious that they liked each other, and I'm glad they're finally together now!"

"And all the credit goes to me for setting them up like this."

Taemin and Minho nodded at Jonghyun's words. The maknae was just about to say something but then a voice from the living room followed by two voices giggling. Kibum and Jinki were telling each other jokes.

Minho leaned dreamily against the wall. "Damn, they're so adorable together."
