Kyungsoo

I felt something different inside me. It felt like something was inside my belly that made it tickle in a funny way. 

If someone would tickle me weakly I wouldn't feel it unless they were literally attacking my ribs, but this time I felt it. But no one was attacking my ribs, nor my skin. It was nothing more than a feeling. Jongin was squeezing tightly on my cheeks, making sure I'd feel it. 

I felt even more shy as he continued, and I wanted to hide my face, but since he was grabbing it, forcing me to face him, I had no other choice than to stare at him. 

He stopped the moment he realised we both got a text message at the same time. He frowned at his phone and we both picked it up to read what it said. It was from Baekhyun, and I read out loud what he wrote.

'Hey Kyungsoo! Can Chanyeol, Jongin, you and I be at your house and hangout tomorrow? Chanyeol came up with the idea. Whatcha say?' Jongin smiled. 

"Yeah, Chanyeol sent the same text," he said. 

I was ready to reply, so I asked, "do you want to?" 

"Sounds fun!" he cheered. It slightly surprised me as I actually thought he wouldn't want to because he didn't want to see them together. Was he just acting strong? 

I didn't what him to think that I wasn't there for him, since I was. Even though we had just been friends about a week now, and I couldn't understand his pain, I could still tell he was hurting emotionally. 

I also had pain in my heart I couldn't describe, but I'd never cried before. I wouldn't know if it was the same pain or not. I did have the genetic disorder after all, so I wasn't really surprised I couldn't quite understand it. 

"Are you sure? We don't have to," I told him, "I mean, they will both come." I waited for his response after asking one last time. 

"I don't mind," he smiled sweetly, "even if I have...feelings for Chanyeol, I still want to be a good friend to him. It's worse to be alone with him, so when we're all four here, I feel a lot better," he explained. I nodded, then I replied back to Baekhyun that we both agreed to their plan. 

He replied quickly back. 'Yes! We'll come around five o'clock and bring some food. See you then!' 

I tossed my phone to the side and closely watched Jongin to see if he was trying to hide something. It's too unbelievable that he agreed to it straight away without any persuasions or any of the sort. 

Was he really okay with this? Did he feel more comfortable when I joined? He probably found it unpleasant when it's only the three of them, which I could understand. 

I also enjoyed Jongin's company a lot. 

"I'll get some snacks," I suggested and went downstairs to find something for us to eat. When I glanced at the clock to look what time it was, my eyes widen, as I didn't know how much time had passed without my awareness. 

Jongin

Kyungsoo came back up with some pepero sticks with chocolate flavour, and placed it between us on the table.

"We might as well do some work on the school project, since you're definitely not in a condition to go back to training straight away anyways," he suggested, which I agreed to with a nod, so we both started reading with Kyungsoo's school book, as I still hadn't my own book. 

"Hey, can I spend the night here?" I asked out of nowhere, slightly surprising him, "there's not point in going home to sleep when I'm coming back tomorrow again, and I don't really want to give my mother a heart attack by noticing my wound," I chuckled embarrassed as I placed my hand slightly on my head where my wound was on my forehead. 

"Sure," he replied shortly, which I grinned happily to. 

I grabbed a pepero stick and ate one; I accidentally grabbed two and I saw Kyungsoo was writing something, so I waved it in front of him and placed it on his lips. 

He just opened up his mouth and let me feed him. I chuckled at how amusing he looked, and cute. "Hey, let's see how small we can make it," I suggested excitedly, but he just rolled his eyes at me.

"Can we just please concentrate on work?" he asked, seeming annoying by my childish behavior. 

I pouted. "Please," I whined, "I just want to try since I haven't done it before." 

He sighed defeated, putting his book down. "Fine, but only one time, okay?" 

I nodded excitedly, then I placed a pepero stick on his lips and he bit on the edge to hold onto it, and I started to bite on the other side. 

I slowly started to bite it, piece by piece, and we ended up being really close to each other. He sat completely still and looked rather relaxed, trusting me, and I tried to make the stick shorter as I kept on coming closer. 

Our lips were only inches apart, but I thought the stick was still too long to bite it off, so I tried to creep even closer. I was only going to go one inch closer, but I happened to have miscalculated, and our lips accidentally crashed together. 

Both of our eyes widen as big as they could get, and we stared into each other's eyes until we reacted by pulling away. 

Even when we did pull apart we stared amazed at each other, not really believing what just had happened. God this was embarrassing... What should I do? Should I say sorry?

"Uhm, s - sorry." I didn't mean to stutter, but I was just so embarrassed I could die. 

"Y - Yeah." We held the awkward silence as none of us had the balls to break it. 

I just wanted to hide my face in a pillow and let out my scream I was dying to let out. 

Kyungsoo suddenly stood up and walked towards his closet. "You can borrow my extra pyjamas. I'll go to the bathroom to change." 

I nodded as he threw me a pair, then heading out. I'm glad he left the room, so I punched the pillow he had in bed and covered my face with it as I laid flat on the bed. "God, how embarrassing," I muttered to myself. 

I suddenly heard something by the door, which almost gave me a heart attack. "Hey, I heard you're spending the night." It was Kyungsoo's mother.

"Y - Yeah if it's okay with you Mrs Do," I asked carefully, but her face was rather shining like the blinding sun. 

"Of course!" she nearly beamed happily, "my little Kyungsoo never has someone spending over the night with. It makes me feel good someone does for once." 

She almost talked as if we were getting married, giving us her approval for it. 

I chuckled with her. I found it cute that he had never had someone spending over the night before, and he was probably just as excited as his mother. No wonder he didn't deny it at all when I asked him earlier. 

"We don't have an extra madras though, so you'll have to share the same bed, but that won't be a problem, yeah?" 

My face turned red immediately by the thought, but I mentally slapped myself to not be so obvious. "N - No." 

"I see he has already given you a pair of his pyjamas you can borrow. I'll leave you alone to change. Good night Jongin," she smiled sweetly as she closed the door to give me some privacy to change. 

Things were just getting better and better, didn't they? Firstly we accidentally kiss, and now we had to share the same bed? Could things get any more awkward between us now? He wasn't even used to having friends - let alone spend the night over -  so I was not making it easy for him, not that I did all of this on purpose. I really felt sorry for him, and I hoped he didn't hate me for it. God, I was so incredibly stupid. 

Kyungsoo

I was done brushing my teeth and changing into my own pyjamas, so I walked back into my room. I was expecting to see Jongin fully dressed in the pyjamas I had lent him, but I was wrong. He stood there, only in his underwear, pulling the t-shirt over his head and his arms raised above his head. I could totally see his bare torso and legs, and of course his underwear too. 

"Oh God, sorry," I automatically said as I slammed the door behind me, quickly running out again. 

I had never been so embarrassed before - and awkward - my whole life. I was used to not really showing more expressions than my infamous poker face, but tonight I had discovered many more facial expressions I didn't even know I could manage to pull off.
