He kissed his cheek.

To others it might not seem like something big or crazy, but to Hyunjin it was so much more than just a peck on the cheek.

Nobody forced Minho to do it and Hyunjin never asked for him to remove the chocolate like that, it was his own decision to do that. And it made Hyunjin's head spin and his cheeks take on a dark shade of red.

Fuck.

No, he had to ignore those feelings. He had to suppress the smile that was forming on his lips. It was wrong. It was all wrong. He wasn't supposed to feel that way around Minho, but he did. In such a short amount of time they had gotten so close and Hyunjin had really enjoyed his company.

While Felix was his best friend, Minho was something else. He wasn't a best friend to him, Hyunjin saw him differently. Every single time Minho looked at him he got nervous, every single time he knew the older male was staring at his lips he had to try so hard not to smile. It made him feel so good.

Many fans loved Hyunjin for his perfect looks and he hated how his talents always got ignored, but when it came to Minho it was different. He always looked so proud when Hyunjin got the moves of the choreo right. Every single time he'd post his paintings Minho was the first to use their official account to like it, hours before other members would even notice he had posted something. He knew Minho didn't like romance but he still suggested it. It left such a nice and fuzzy feeling.

But then again, it was all just nice in his head. In reality a relationship would ruin them.

Even if they would come together, even if they would have a nice time, someone would find out and instantly make them break up. And being friends after that would be so painful and heartbreaking.

So he had to shut those feelings off. Before it would get too much.

The temptation was there, his lips so close and just inches away from his own, but Hyunjin gave him a smile and placed his head on his shoulder instead. He needed to keep it in the friendzone. No matter how much he didn't want to hurt Minho. It was for the better. He needed to stop while they still could.

But his body was practically heating up and he barely made it to the end of the movie. It was so warm and yet he wanted to keep being this close to Minho. The sudden heat was unexplainable. Was he getting sick?

"Do you want to go on a walk?", he heard the other say and without any hesitation Hyunjin agreed. It was just what he needed in that moment. Otherwise he would've lost his mind. Some fresh air would do good.

Since it was rather cold outside his Hyung didn't hesitate to give him one of his jackets. Which again, was just so cute. He should've denied his offer, but did he really have another option? Besides, Minho always smelled so good. And so did the jacket.

But.. since when did Minho own a Versace jacket? That was unusual for him. Anything from that brand was usually worn by Hyunjin while the others didn't exactly seem to care about it.

Either way, he couldn't complain as long as it would keep him warm outside.

And it sure did.

The second they stepped outside Hyunjin stuffed his hands in the pockets of the jacket and exhaled shakingly, his breath visible in the cold air. To keep his nose warm he also stuffed half his face in the jacket, at least as far as it would go.

"It's not even close to winter yet but it's already so cold. Are you okay?" Minho's voice was so soft and sweet, it was the side of Minho he had started getting used to. He was liking it. A lot. But again, he seriously shouldn't be letting it get to him that would only cause problems with the company.

"I'll be fine, thank you. But I know you're usually sensitive when it comes to the cold. Will you be okay?" It was only natural for him to return that gesture. Hyunjin would do it for every single member, it was just kindness. And Minho really did look like he was freezing.

Then again, it wasn't even winter yet.

"Let's make the best out if it. We're really gonna freeze to death if we don't start moving." And with that he grabbed Minho's hand and pulled him after himself.

Soon they were aimlessly walking through the streets, enjoying the silence and their surroundings. After walking around for a bit, both of them had warmed up a bit and it wasn't as bad as it was before.

"Minho?"

"Mhm?"

"I'm really glad we're spending time together again."

A smile could be seen on both of their faces. And before Hyunjin could see the phone in Minho's hand, a picture was taken.

"Hey! What was that all about? I was trying to say something very meaningful." But Minho was smiling while he swiped through the couple pictures he took, proudly showing Hyunjin one of them. "But it looks sweet. I like it. You should post it on Instagram. Although first I wanna let you finish talking, I'm sorry for interrupting you."

With slightly reddened cheeks Hyunjin cleared his throat and carried on walking.

"I don't talk about things like this a lot. I like expressing how I feel through words, but not like this. So.. even if I wanted to, I couldn't explain how it makes me feel to spend time with you without it sounding completely weird." Minho nodded.

"I don't think it would sound weird. To me it sounds like you don't know how to put it into words yet. Perhaps you just need to admit that the presence of the one and only Lee Minho is so amazing, you cannot express how honored you feel." While those words were leaving his mouth, he wrapped his arm around Hyunjin's shoulders and pulled him closer, resulting in both of them starting to laugh. "To me it sounds like you've been in the cold for too long. Let's head back."

And so they did. It sure was time to do so. Only when they almost reached the building did Hyunjin realize just how much he was freezing. So he was even happier when he could finally wrap himself up in a blanket once again.

When he looked up again, he saw a smiling Minho standing in front of him. "You know, you can stay here tonight. My bed isn't much smaller than in the hotel and we also made it work there. Like that you wouldn't have to wake up all the others."

Wake up? Hyunjin was confused.

He quickly took out his phone to look at the time.

2:03 a.m.. Holy shit.

"It's that late already?! Are we lucky we don't have practice in the morning.. we'd be done for." Although if that would have been the case, Minho wouldn't have suggested the walk. Because he did look at the time beforehand, Hyunjin was sure about that. He himself just didn't feel the need to double check. It got dark pretty early so he was just guessing it was around 9 p.m... And with that he was quite wrong.

"Yeah, we were outside for quite a while. Come on, I'll get you something to sleep in. I'm already tired." And so was the younger one.

The blanket was carefully folded and placed back on the couch, the dishes from earlier were also put away and only then did the two of them make their way to Minho's room.

Actually Hyunjin couldn't remember ever properly being in there. Of course he had seen it multiple times when he visited Felix and sometimes he also walked in when he needed something. But actually walking inside and sitting down on the bed was completely different.

It was different in general.

Living with 3RACHA made Hyunjin think that perhaps the other members just loved chaos and throwing everything around, but it wasn't like that in Minho's room. Everything was clean and decorated nicely.

Even while sitting on the bed Hyunjin saw a couple pictures of cats on the elder's desk. That must've been the three cats he overheard him talk about a lot. Maybe he ask about them the next time he didn't know what to talk about? After all everyone knew just how big Minho's love for cats was. Asking him about it sounded like a good idea.

That wasn't it though. Minho also had a few cat figurines on his shelves along with copies of their albums. It was sweet how he so carefully put them in his shelf when that space could've been used to hold even more of things he actually loved.

In either way, Hyunjin really liked his room. The colors all matched well, even though it was too much black to Hyunjin's liking. It was still a nice room, he could definitely see himself feeling comfortable in it. And he did.

Before he could inspect it any further, Minho placed a pair of grey shorts and a white shirt next to Hyunjin, nodding to encourage him to get changed. Doing that in front of each other didn't exactly bother him, they had done it multiple times in the locker room.

But when he watched Minho slip off his clothes, Hyunjin's brain went foggy.

His body was insane. How was he not showing it off? That broad shoulder, his muscular arms and his trained abs — it all made Minho look so stunning, as if he wasn't already gorgeous with his clothes on.

All Hyunjin wanted to do was get up and get to touch at least his back, but Minho already turned around and looked at him knowing, as he had just caught Hyunjin staring him up and down. "So, aren't you gonna change into the clothes I gave you? I'm getting really tired, I'd like to sleep now."

Right. In order for both of them to be able to sleep Hyunjin too needed to change into other clothes. And so he did. A lot faster than he usually would, because he didn't want to keep Minho waiting any longer than he already had done.

The lights were already turned off and only the purple LEDs allowed Hyunjin to see at least a little bit better.

"Aren't you going to sleep?", Minho asked when he saw Hyunjin take out his phone. "Soon, I just need to finish a few things. But you sleep. Goodnight, Hyung."

"Don't stay up for too long. Goodnight."

Once the picture was posted, Hyunjin was satisfied with himself and could put his phone on charge. If be wouldn't finally go to sleep, Chan would definitely scold him the other day. And that was not good at all. If he really were to get truly mad at Hyunjin, there was no surviving that. That was sure.

So as his eyes were starting to feel heavier, Hyunjin pulled the blanket higher and over his shoulder, automatically shuffling closer to Minho.

"Mh? Hyunjin..? Go to sleep.." "Mhm.. I was boutta.." Silence. And then Minho turned around, pulling Hyunjin into his arms. "Your body feels cold.. stay.. like this."

Well, he didn't exactly have a choice. Because just a few seconds after those words left Minho's lips, that guy had fallen asleep. And Hyunjin was stuck wrapped in his arms.

Not like he minded that. It felt.. nice. He had long fallen in love with the smell of Minho's perfume so being surrounded by it didn't exactly seem off-putting. Instead he really enjoyed it.

And only when he nuzzled his face closer to where that nice scent was coming from could he fall asleep.

And that might have been a mistake.
