A/N: I'm really sorry for making all of you wait, I have been so busy lately and have not had enough time to update :( If it makes you feel better, I went to rewatch You're Beautiful specially for you guys just so I would be inspired enough to write Chapter 2. Here goes! :D
Shinwoo woke up with a groan, and started to stretch his sore back. He took a moment to realize that he was sitting in a pile of blankets, and blinked in confusion. Did he fall out of bed? He cocked his head at the patterns of the blanket that he did not recognize, and looked up groggily to see someone cocooned in his bed. Everything from the day before flushed back into his mind, and he had to stop himself from smiling. Shinwoo lifted himself out of the heap of sheets with new found energy, and took a peek at the sleeping Minam. She had a small smile on her face, eyes peacefully shut as she let out soft snores. Shinwoo chuckled to himself, how could she think that he did not know she was a girl when she made it so obvious?
Taking care to walk across the floorboard lightly so as to not wake her up, Shinwoo made his way to the door. Casting one last look at the figure tucked snugly in his bed, he smiled and opened the door.
"AH!" He shouted in surprise as Taekyung's face was inches from his own.
"Ahem. Sorry about that, Minam's aunt sent me to wake both of you up." Taekyung said imatter-of-factly, craning his neck and peering through the crack in the door to try and catch a glance inside.
Shinwoo promptly stepped out of the door through the tiniest opening he could squeeze through, and shut the door firmly behind him. Taekyung shot him a questioning look and opened his mouth as if to make a comment, but Shinwoo quickly cut him off.
"Alright, I'll be down in a bit. Let him sleep in." He smiled, and motioned to Taekyung to go on without him. Taekyung did not budge, and held Shinwoo's gaze. The two just stared at each other as Shinwoo braced himself for Taekyung's reply. Fortunately, Minam's aunt barged through the two men guarding the door and broke the tension. She threw open the door and stalked into Shinwoo's room as she called after Minam to wake up.
Taekyung smirked at Shinwoo as he followed after Minam's aunt, only to have the smirk ripped off his face as he recognized the bundled up figure lying in Shinwoo's bed.
"Aigoo! Shinwoo-ah! You're such a gentleman!" Minam's aunt crowed as she saw her 'nephew' tucked cozily in the queen-size bed that took up most of the room. "I'm so glad that you're being so nice to my Minam, he has such good friends!"
Taekyung let out a laugh of disbelief, shaking his head slightly. Why did Shinwoo give up his bed to her? You would not give up a bed to another guy, right? You'd probably only do that for a girl... Did Shinwoo know?
Minam awoke at the commotion and blinked sleepily at the two faces staring at her. While her aunt continued to fuss over her, her eyes focused on Shinwoo smiling kindly at her from a distance. Not wanting to be rude and talk over her aunt, Shinwoo mouthed 'Did you sleep well?' when he caught her eye. Minam's eyes sparkled as she nodded, then mouthed back. her thanks. Taekyung caught her shining smile and looked over to Shinwoo who simply turned and made his way out of the room, but not before Taekyung caught the smirk adorning his face.
"Go Minam? Did you sleep well last night?" Taekyung cleared his throat as he asked, refusing to look into her confused eyes.
"Ye... Thanks for asking, Hyung-nim." She raised an eyebrow quizzically and started to make her way past him, only to be stopped by an outstretched hand.
"Ja." Taekyung sighed, placing a bottle in her hand. She turned it over and read the label out with hesitation.
"Pepper... Spray?"
Taekyung still refused to look at her, and nodded. Minam laughed as she held the bottle out to him.
"Gwenchana, Hyun-nim. Thank you for worrying about me, but Shinwoo-hyung is not that type of person."
Taekyung pursed his lips at her words.
"When he finds out that he is sharing a room with a woman, he might not be the same type of person. And I'm not worried about you." He insisted, motioning for her to keep the bottle. Minam shrugged and tucked the bottle away, musing to herself that she would not need it.
"Alright, ready to go?" Shinwoo called as he strolled into the room, smiling at Minam. Taekyung felt a little flustered, secretly hoping that Shinwoo had not heard what he just said earlier.
"Go where?" Taekyung tried to keep his voice neutral as he scanned Shinwoo's face for any sign that he had heard the earlier conversation. Shinwoo gave nothing away as Minam skipped over to join him and the two made their way outside.
"Hold on, where are you going?" Taekyung asked, struggling to keep his voice free of emotion.
"Oh, I am a late night snacker, so I like having snacks in my room. But my aunt ate all my snacks... So..." Minam answered, smiling sheepishly.
"So we're going to get some snacks to enjoy." Shinwoo said, sounding quite carefree.
Taekyung pursed his lips and ground his teeth as he watched the two leave in Shinwoo's car. Why were they shopping for snacks together? What were they, newlyweds?
"Oh we're just going to shop for cookies together, then maybe buy a sofa, then a tv..." He started to mock again, turning to his high-pitched voice.
"Hyung... Are you okay?" He quickly pretended to be pouring himself a glass of water when Jeremy walked in, avoiding his question as he downed the entire glass in one gulp, inevitably spluttering as he choked on the water.
A/N: I was planning on making this chapter longer, but I'll leave it at a spluttering Taekyung. I will be letting Youie join in the fun soon! :P Thank you for your patience, I promise a faster update soon!
