SONG REC: "HYPE BOY" - NEW JEANS

🕸🕸🕷🕸🕸

Hyunjin elbowed Yun. "So...Lee Know and you, huh?" It was breakfast, and all the members were teasing Yun since Lee Know had gone away on a mission.

"What do you mean?" She pretended to focus on her extremely interesting hands.

"C'mon, he's made up a nickname for you, for goodness' sake! Fucking Yeongie?"

Seungmin joined in. "Yeong-ie! Oh, love of my life, darling Yun-Yeong, kiss me!" The members laughed at how red Yun was turning.

Hyunjin took his hands and pretended to have his fingers kiss. "I love you, Lee Know!" he said in a high-pitched voice, mocking her. Which was funny, since she had a voice as deep as his. "I love you, Yun," he said in a deep, raspy voice, representing Lee Know – and sounding nothing like Lee Know.

Changbin smacked him. "Shut up!" he shouted and then burst into giggles when Hyunjin started tickling him. The other members didn't even blink.

"Do you like him, Yun?" they asked.

"I, well, see – it's because that, you know, because–"

Hyunjin stopped tickling Changbin. Changbin cackled and pointed at her. "Oh, you're so done for!"

"He doesn't really...well, you know how he is. He doesn't believe in 'love' and it's a distraction and all that. Like, remember that time me and Felix got in trouble because we baked things together at night? Or me and Jisung's movie night?"

Felix nodded. "Don't worry about that, Yun. Anybody would be lucky to be yours."

She sighed. "Oh, Felix. You know I asked him for permission to be your friend?"

The members snorted scarily in sync. Felix patted her arm. "He's just jealous, you know. And besides, even without his permission, we would all be friends still. We don't need his approval."

"Are you admitting you like him, though?" asked I.N.

She mumbled something under her breath, and the members squealed.

🕸🕸🕷🕸🕸

Yun was in Changbin's room, talking. She had wanted to get closer to him, so she suggested a movie night and sharing snacks.

Eventually, all the other members, including Lee Know, piled in with blankets and stuffed animals. Changbin turned the lights off, pulled the blinds down, and shut the door. He turned on his lamp and grinned at them.

"Movie time!" he shouted with jazz hands.

Yun sat in the corner in the back while the members sat on the floor right in front of the TV. Lee Know turned his head around, spotted her, and walked over.

"Mind if I join you?" He looked around as if he didn't really want to but felt obligated.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. I'm okay sitting here alone."

His eyes darkened. He grabbed her face with a gentle hand and tilted her face up. She looked into his eyes, reddening as he stared.

"Fine. Allow me to rephrase." He smiled seductively and said in a low voice, "Can I please join you? Because I really want to."

Her heart stuttered. "Yeah, uh, you can." She grabbed a blanket and placed it over her lap.

Although it was late, the members were still energetic. They screamed, cried, cheered, and laughed loudly.

Yun shivered from the cold and pressed herself into the blanket. She was wearing a crop top though, so it made sense that she was cold.

"Do you want to wear something warmer?" Lee Know asked.

She nodded. "Let me go get—"

"I'm going with you."

Yun's eyes widened briefly, but she nodded. The two left the room and members glanced over a few times.

"You can get a hoodie from my room," Lee Know said once they shut Changbin's door. "It's closer, too."

She went to his room and pulled a hoodie from his closet. He remembered her lack of clothes, guilt striking him suddenly.

"Do you want new clothes? I could take you shopping."

Yun smiled and shook her head. "I like your clothes. Don't worry." She frowned. "Unless I'm taking too many of yours?"

He patted her head. "No, my closet is your closet now."

Yun nearly died inside. She put the hoodie on, and without a word, they walked back to Changbin's room slowly. They pretended not to hear the member's imaginative brains creating stories of what they were doing.

Behind the door, Hyunjin cackled loudly over the movie. "Obviously they're having a hot makeout sesh and–"

"–READING THE HOLY BIBLE," Changbin interjected, making the sign of the cross and covering I.N's ears.

"I'm not a baby!" he protested, taking Changbin's hands off.

Seungmin tapped his chin. "I wonder if they could make out and read the bible."

I.N covered his ears, turning red. "Never mind!"

Lee Know and Yun lingered outside the door.

He shared an embarrassed smile with her. "Shall we enter?"

"Yeah."

The members all wiggled their eyebrows as Yun and Lee Know sat in the far corner, away from all the other members.

Lee Know sat down first, and seeing that she was still shivering, patted his thigh.

"Sit down."

"What?" She stared at his lap.

"Sit down. If you want to."

She blushed a bright red. "I guess." She sat on his lap, using the blanket to cover them. She kept moving her hands, not knowing where to put them.

Lee Know reached around, held onto both of her hands, and wrapped his arms around her waist. She could feel his body heat from all over: her legs, her back, her waist, her arms. And she loved it.

She fell asleep halfway through the movie, leaning back onto Lee Know. He carefully stood and picked her up, taking her over to the bed. The members on the bed noticed, and moved onto the floor.

So pretty, he thought, as he tucked her in.

He joined the others on the floor.

"You like her," Felix stated firmly. The members all nodded in agreement.

Lee Know sighed and turned back to watch the movie, ignoring the members' laughs. As one of the main characters died and Han started bawling, Lee Know began falling asleep with only one person on his mind.

Han freaking Jisung because that motherfucker cried loud as hell.

As he fell into a deeper sleep, and Han resorted to sniffling once in a while, his mind drifted to Yun...her face and laugh and smile.
