Jeonghan and Seunghee were hanging out at the usual place at the plaza. It was just a day after the midterms.

"You were wonderful yesterday. They were all amazed at how much you've grown as an artist," Jeonghan said.

"And how about you? You've gotten pretty popular with the ladies lately. I won't be long when you have your own fan club," Seunghee replied.

"Well, I don't need a fan club. I only need you."

"There goes my Jeonghan again. Can't you be anymore sweeter?"

They smiled at each other sweetly.

Seunghee then shared something. "Oh by the way, starting tomorrow, my cousin will be staying here. He's training for a slot at SM Entertainment. He's searching for a place to stay though. A bed spacer for exact. But as soon as he earns the right amount of money he'll find a place. I was thinking, could he stay at your place for the mean time? I mean, you're working for extra money right? This can add to your salary."

"No. I'm not comfortable with anyone else around. I don't think it will work. But really, SME? How good is he?" Jeonghan asked.

"Well, dancing is really his best skill. Aside from that, I don't think there's any."

"Aren't you a bit negative about him?"

"I'm not. And I’m not degrading him. He got in because of his dancing skills right? Isn't that good enough? It just means he's really good at it."

"He must be. Want to stay at my place before going home after class? It's Thursday."

"Sure. I love staying at your place. It's so clean. I'm really amazed at how keep it so."

"My dad sends in a housekeeper every week, that's why."

"What? That's cheating! Here I thought you're the one doing it."

"I never said anything about doing household chores if I remember."

"Yeah right. It's good to have a very thoughtful and supportive dad like that. You're lucky."

"I think so. Come on, let's go."

"Okay. But can you think about it? He really needs a place to stay. And besides he's arriving tonight."

"I'll give it another try. But I’m not promising you anything okay?"

"Okay. That's good enough."

Just a few meters away from them, a tall, slim, handsome guy was looking at them. He wore a shades and dressed really stylish. He was scrutinizing them, eyebrows forming creases in between.

"So she's got herself a guy. This will be interesting," he said to himself.

Jeonghan and Seunghee continued to eat their snacks chatting not noticing the guy just a few meters away from them.

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

They arrived at his place by 5pm. They were both tired from the day's activities. Seunghee sat directly on the couch at the living room while Jeonghan went to his room.

"That was tiring! Prof's not on good mood today huh. He was over the top. I can hardly keep up with the choreography," Seunghee complained.

Jeonghan went out of his room with a towel on his shoulders.

"I really need a bath. Can you help yourself? I have some sweets on the fridge," he said.

"Oh, yah. I'll get it later."

"Okay."

Seunghee sat comfortably and took a nap while Jeonghan took a quick shower. After a few minutes, he went out of the bath shirtless with the towel on his head. He saw Seunghee quietly napping with her head leaning back on the couch. She looked really tired. He towered over her and stared at her sleeping face. He couldn't help himself, she was so fascinating. So he put his arms on both sides near her head and gave her a kiss. A quick one at first but she didn't budge, so he gave her a second one.

Seunghee woke up as his lips were busy tasting hers. She actually fell asleep. She moaned in submissive protest and tried to push him away. But her hands met a bare chested body. She was startled that she gave him a quite a hard push.

"Jeonghan, what are you doing? I was sleeping here! And put on some shirt will you?"

She could not straightly look at him. She was still not used to seeing him half naked. He was standing before her then, he was smiling like always.

"I just got out of the bath. You looked so inviting so I couldn't help myself. Don't worry okay? I'm zealously waiting."

He paced his way to his room then. Waiting while trying to seduce me that is, Seunghee murmured to herself. She was frowning from what he just did. You better behave Yoon Jeonghan, she thought. But amidst all of these, all of a sudden, something flew from the back of the TV.

"What..."

It flew again and this time, Seunghee had a clear view of what it was. A cockroach!

"Waaa!!??!"

She was very scared of cockroaches that she stormed flying into Jeonghan's room where he was and locked the door right after coming in. She even flocked to Jeonghan the instant she locked the door and hugged him very tightly.

"Jeonghan! There was a cockroach in the living room!!"

Jeonghan who was still shirtless, was so clueless of what was happening. The only thing he knew was that Seunghee was embracing him tightly like a child frightened of some monster or something.

"It's okay. It's just an insect."

"It's not okay!! It was flying!!"

Jeonghan could not contain his laughter. She was so childlike. It was the very first time he learned of this side of her.

"Don't laugh! It's matter of life and death situation for me!"

Seunghee was devastated. He was still laughing at her. She let go of him, almost teary eyed at how he made fun of her fear.

"I hate you..."

Jeonghan heard her and quit laughing. He did not want her saying those words to him.

"Hey, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to laugh at you."

He got a hold of her arms and held her still in front of him. She wasn't looking at him. She was still angry.

"But you did. I'm afraid of cockroaches, so what? You didn't have to make fun of me."

"I was not, okay? It just made me laugh. But I’m not laughing at you. It's just the fact that you're afraid. The confident, independent Oh Seunghee that I know is afraid of cockroaches. It just made me happy to learn this new thing from you."

Seunghee looked at him from the corner of her eyes. He never ceased to amaze her with his words. He always made her feel loved in the end. That's why they never really get into arguments.

"Then kill it. It's outside."

"Yes ma'am. Just wait here."

Jeonghan went out of the room and after a minute, he opened the door and got in again.

"It's gone. I threw it outside. Sometimes insects like that can get inside seasonally."

Seunghee sighed of relief.

"I don't ever want to see any again."

Seunghee was leaning her back on the wall that moment. Jeonghan went over her and trapped her by putting his hands on the wall of both sides of her arms. He looked closely at her as she payed attention to his eyes.

"So what other things about you do I not know about huh? Miss Oh Seunghee?"

"It's up to you to find out."

She smiled teasingly at him. He was seduced. He will never get tired of falling for her over and over again.

"Can I kiss you again?"

"This is the second time today huh. You're getting carried away too much. But okay."

Jeonghan did not waste any second the moment she said yes. He kissed her, intensely. Seunghee was taken aback at first but gave in soon enough. While they were at it, he put his right hand on her nape to deepen the kiss. Seunghee knew he wasn't just about to stop then. His other hand went to her back, pulling her closer in the process. She put her hands on his chest as he pulled her. Then she only remembered he was still half naked when she felt his feverish skin. He explored her mouth even more as he went French kissing her. She knew it was getting more and more intimate and she had to break away soon. She was feeling his hands roaming around her back too. And with just a swift move it was already under her shirt. She was moaning her dissent then, but his hand continued to feel her body and before she knew it, he was already cupping her breast. Then she had to really push him away forcefully.

They were both flustered and catching their breaths as they faced each other. She removed his hands on her body too.

"Jeonghan..."

"I'm sorry. I was really carried away."

"It's alright. But I think it's enough for today. No more kissing okay?"

"Yeah... But I think I need another shower."

Seunghee just looked at him, and blushed even more. Jeonghan's face said it all, he was hot. She almost felt it too. But she was still cautious. But she knew she will be ready for him soon. Really soon.

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

Later on, as they were just cuddling with his arms around her and her leaning over him, sitting on the couch scanning some music notes they just had in class, they heard the doorbell.

"Are you expecting someone?" Seunghee asked.

"No. Okay, one sec, just let me get it," Jeonghan answered.

Jeonghan rushed to the door, he looked at the monitor and saw an unfamiliar guy, coolly standing before his door.

"Who's this?" he asked himself.

He decided to open it, supposing the guy was just gonna look for some neighbor or something.

"Yes? What can I do for you?"

The guy looked at him and then stared at him from head to toe. He was slightly offended. Just what does this guy think he's doing? He thought. He was about to close the door on him when he spoke.

"Is Seunghee here?"

That made him stop.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm asking if Oh Seunghee is here," the guy continued.

"Wait, just who are you and what do you want with my girlfriend?"

"I'm her favorite cousin. So let me in, I want to drag her home, she can't be staying at some guy's place like this."

"I'm not just some guy. I told you I’m her boyfriend."

"Whatever. Just let me in."

The guy just intruded his home. Jeonghan could not even stop him. He casually paced his way inside.

"Wait, you don't have permission to enter."

"Seunghee!" the guy yelled.

When Seunghee heard her name and the familiar voice, she bolted up from the couch.

"Sehun oppa?"

And just before she could land a step to meet him, they appeared before her. Jeonghan was trying his best to stop Sehun from advancing while Sehun was just calmly strolling.

"Here you are!" Sehun exclaimed.
