Fully dressed, San entered the kitchen where Wooyoung was cooking. He sneaked up and wrapped his arms around the younger boy from behind. The latter was startled and dropped the wooden spoon.

"San! What did I tell you earlier?"

"That... I'm not even allowed to hug you? What is that? I've always done that Woo!" He looked at the younger boy indignantly. Hongjoong and Jongho now also entered the kitchen and looked at San in confusion.

"You have your own room, San," Jongho said bluntly. "Yes, you don't need to complain if Seonghwa expands his Lego collection when you're almost only here anyway," said Hongjoong, annoyed.

"I don't need to stay here any longer anyway if I'm not allowed to touch Woo, except for fan service. He probably doesn't even want to sleep in a bed with me," San grumbled annoyed and looked at Wooyoung, who was looking at him with big puppy eyes. "Sannie, that's not what I meant.... "

"Then how? Was that just referring to not jerking you off?"

Wooyoung froze in his tracks, Hongjoong choked on his drink and Jongho mumbled something unintelligible.

"Saaaaan," Wooyoung hissed and looked at Hongjoong, who looked at the two of them in disbelief. "Hwa told me that you're straight as fuck and don't waste any sexual thoughts on Woo and now I hear something like this! Guys, if you have a thing with each other, tell us. We have to let the manager know and your camera interactions-" - "We don't have anything with each other! San just wanted to offer me his help, but I can do it on my own," Wooyoung said with a smile. "Me too, but you did it anyway," said San quietly, causing Wooyoung to suck in his breath in annoyance.

"Guys, please! What's going on with you? Stop thinking with your dicks and concentrate on-- Woo the food is on fire!" Hongjoong shouted and San pulled Wooyoung away from the mini flame. "This is all your fault, Sannie!"

"Excuse me? You were part of the discussion!"

"Guys we need something to put out the fire! A blanket or something!"

"Let's take Hongjoong's, he hardly ever sleeps anyway," said Jongho, which is why he got a slap on the shoulder from the leader.

"Guys, the flame's getting bigger," squeaked Wooyoung and hid behind San, who took off his top in annoyance and put it on the flame, which went out immediately and Hongjoong tore open the window.

"What do we have fire alarms for if they don't even go off?" Wooyoung moaned and shortly afterwards the beeping sounded from the living room.

Hongjoong ran there and climbed onto the sofa. Despite jumping, he just barely managed to reach the fire extinguisher. "I'll do it Hyung," replied San, the tallest of the group.

He climbed onto the sofa and took off the fire alarm to turn it off. Wooyoung looked at San's upper body, how his muscles tensed and relaxed as he stretched towards the ceiling. It was all so finely defined.

"Wooyoung, don't stare so conspicuously," Jongho breathed next to them and Wooyoung quickly tore his gaze away.

"Are you okay, Jagiya?" San approached Wooyoung and took his face in his hands. "You still seem a bit shocked."

"E-everything's okay," Wooyoung breathed softly, not trusting his voice. "Then it's okay," San smiled and kissed Wooyoung's cheek. He stood frozen in the same spot, looking at San.

"Hey, are you sure there's nothing going on?" Hongjoong asked again. "Somehow San is acting like this, but we really don't have anything going on. We're just friends and we're just doing fanservice for Atiny."

"Are you sure it's just fanservice?"

"Hell yeah, I like him, but he's straight and a relationship would be too risky," Wooyoung hissed at Hongjoong, annoyed.

"You like San?"

"Yes, but please don't tell him! I don't want our friendship to be ruined," Wooyoung whined and Hongjoong looked at him worriedly.

"I won't tell him anything, but you have to promise me that you'll still talk to San and clarify what's going on between you. It will rub off on the other members too. We have to be on the ball for the interviews and showcases, okay?"

"Yeah okay," Wooyoung breathed and looked at San who was talking to Jongho. "Good, now clean up the kitchen and go to bed, we have to get up early in the morning." Hongjoong looked seriously at San and Wooyoung.

"Can Sa-" "Yes, San can sleep with you for once."

"Thank you Hongjoong-ah, you're the best!" squeaked Wooyoung and hugged Hongjoong.

Jongho wished everyone a good night and disappeared into his room. San looked at Wooyoung, who was cleaning the kitchen in the meantime. Hongjoong was on the phone with someone and complained about his broken cell phone display.

"Youngie?" He mumbled a quiet "What is it" and continued scrubbing the stove. "Do you need help?"

"No, I'm fine, I'm done anyway," replied the younger man and looked up at San, who was still standing in front of him with his shirt off.

"Joong-ah said you could stay the night. But we have another shoot tomorrow morning."

"Can I sleep in your bed?" San asked uncertainly. Wooyoung looked up and saw San's puppy dog eyes. He immediately felt sorry for what he had said earlier.

"Sure, Sannie. I didn't mean to come across so harshly earlier. Of course you can hug me and sleep in my bed. Only.... Well please keep the other stuff fanservice." Wooyoung smiled lovingly at San, which San returned directly.

"Awesome, thanks Youngie," San squeaked and pulled him into a big hug. Wooyoung, who felt San's naked upper body, turned completely red and cleared his throat. San let go and pulled the younger boy into his room.
