Work Text:
Hao was mad.
And the worst part was that it was not even his fault. The bodyguard that they hired chose to get money by selling Hao's information to sasaengs; so what did they do?
Fire the bodyguard? Yes. Hire a new trust-worthy one? Well, no idea, but they sure did hire someone new! So Hao looked at him, he was tall, as tall as Hao was, and had black hair, neither too long nor too short. He was wearing a black suit, with a white button-up shirt and a black tie. This made Hao wonder if this outfit was practical enough to fight in case of a danger, but he erased his thoughts, thinking the man in front of him probably knew better, or that he just wanted to make a good first impression. He was not going to work until tomorrow, so he could wear whatever he wanted today anyway.
The staff who had guided the bodyguard to the dormitory just left, and it was just the two of them now, well, them two, and all the other members of OneBaseZero, Zhang Hao's kpop group. Which meant five more person in this dorm, since the group consisted of 6 members : Jiwoong, Hao, Taerae, Ricky, Gyuvin and Yujin.
Luckily for Hao, who surely could not have endured the opposite, his newly hired bodyguard was not supposed to sleep in the dorm too, but because of all the information that leaked, he was still meant to be present most of the time.
This meant that he was constantly with Hao from the start of the day until the end.
Was it going to be annoying? Probably.
Hao was not an extrovert, and as kind as he was to his staff, he did not wanted to befriend them that much. He did not like his last bodyguard, so they were not talking that much, but his last bodyguard was also far less present than what his new one was going to be.
But, stopping his flow of thoughts, it was now finally time to speak to this in-charge-of-his-security-stranger, since they were going to have to do that a lot now.
"Hi. I'm Zhang Hao. I'm 23. Nice to meet you."
The idol hoped he didn't sound too robotic.
"Hello ! I'm Sung Hanbin, I'm 22. I'll be in charge of your security wherever you go from now on. I'm pleased to meet you!"
Hanbin offered a precious smile to the blond man. In any other circumstances, Hao would have fallen for that smile right on the spot. Anybody with eyes could tell his bodyguard was very good looking. But he also seemed way too nice, which made Hao even question if he would be a good bodyguard, not that he wasn't build for it, he just seemed like he could never hurt a fly, even if said-fly burned his house down.
It's not that he didn't want to trust the stranger. He just couldn't trust SleepOne when it came to making decisions, no matter the decision.
The man in front of him seemed… uncomfortable? He looked like he had more to add, but didn't felt like it was his turn to speak. So Hao decided to finally say something, after a moment of silence that looked painful to the black haired man.
"Do you want to add something before I show you the dorm?"
Hanbin looked at the older, smiling.
"I hope we'll get along well, Zhang Hao-ssi !"
Hanbin's enthusiasm made Hao smile internally. He then proceed to show him the whole dorm, consisting of a rather spacious kitchen, every furniture in it were colored a sky blue and a cream white which complimented each other perfectly. Even the fridge was blue.
A corner of the living room was filled with cushions on the floor that created a very cozy space. In its center, there was a sofa and a table in front of a TV.
They then went upstairs. The whole dormitory was spacious enough for the members to all have their own rooms, so Hao proceed to explain to the latter who owns each door, without invading the members' personal spaces.
He moved to the three bathrooms, there was not a lot to see honestly, a shower for two of them, a shower-bath in the last one, toilets, mirrors, some skincare stuff and bottles owned by whoever used which bathroom.
"You saw everything you had to see, even if I hope you won't have to use this knowledge as I'd prefer not to get in danger while being here", Hao said, in a fake smile, while both of them were returning downstairs for Hanbin to leave. Hanbin reciprocated the fake smile, he probably felt what it was like to feel that you could be in danger everywhere, even home.
"I sure do hope so as well !"
The man in a suit harbored a smile, a real one this time. Does he ever stop smiling?
This bodyguard was certainly not very dissuasive, if Hao was being honest.
In the entrance of the house, Hanbin put back his shoes and looked at Hao happily.
"I'll start working tomorrow, so we're going to see each other again soon!"
The chinese man looked at him while thinking about his next day schedule. His group almost finished their promotions, the last schedule was for himself and Gyuvin, they were going on a variety show, and after this, it would be the end. Until performances and concerts!
"Are you coming with me to the variety show? My last bodyguard was here mainly at airports, fansigns, concerts, well, anywhere fans were. Fans and… other people!", faking a smile, again, Hao looked at Hanbin with a question mark almost visible on his face.
"Well, because the agency doesn't know how much of your schedule leaked, they just told me to go anywhere you would for a good amount of time. We don't know where people would show up"
Hao opened the door for Hanbin, who passed it without being asked to.
"I hope I'll get a real smile from you, someday", Hanbin said, while facing the oldest, before turning around and leaving the property.
Hao smiled just a little after hearing this, a smile Hanbin couldn't see, because Hao was already looking at his back walking towards the fences.
This was surely going to be interesting!
Hao woke up around 7 am, he was not that tired, but not particularly happy to be awake either, because he knew he had to get up, eat breakfast, shower and get ready for the day.
A day that was going to be long, and in the company of his newly hired bodyguard !
He started rubbing his eyes a little, then, he got up from his bed, grabbed his phone, took some clothes from his wardrobe, and finally, headed to the bathroom, where he deposed said clothes, and went straight to the kitchen. He took a bowl of cereals, a spoon, and a banana with him to go to the living room. He turned on the TV and enjoyed his breakfast while watching some anime.
An episode later, it was sadly time to put that bowl in the sink, that banana peel in the trash, and that human body in the shower!
A music playlist playing on his phone, the music filled the bathroom, without being too loud to wake up the other members. After showering, Hao dressed up with IVE's Rebel Heart playing as background sound.
Hao was wearing a pink sweater over a white button-up shirt. He paired this with light gray pants, his whole outfit complimenting his blond hair perfectly.
He paused the music while getting out of the bathroom, looking fresh and clean. He then went downstairs, in the living room, and found Gyuvin eating his own breakfast.
"Hello hyung!" The tallest said, looking as happy as a golden retriever getting his head out of a window while being in a car. Gyuvin was such a dog, affectionately.
"Hi Gyuvin, are you ready for the last promotions schedule?" Hao asked, while getting himself closer to the latter to sit on the couch.
"It'll be fun ! I still need to shower and dress up, and we'll be ready to go."
Hao nodded in approval, while unlocking his phone, checking his messages, and then his social medias. People where still talking about the controversy his last bodyguard was facing. Hao was not happy it was public, but he thought, at least, nobody would want to hire him anymore, making work safer for idols.
Around five minutes later, Gyuvin got up, went to the kitchen, and then headed upstairs, probably to take a shower. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Hao shoved his phone in one of his pants pocket, and got up to open the door, facing a familiar face he saw yesterday.
"Hi !" Hanbin said, a smile on the face. He looked like he was awake since far more time than Hao, well, actually, he just looked stunning.
He was wearing a simple white t-shirt under a light blue varsity jacket, simple black pants matching his hair, and blue converse.
"Hello. You're an early bird" Hao invited him to enter the house, since they were still waiting on Gyuvin to be ready to go.
"I'm quite more of a night owl actually, but I was not sure about you, so I thought I preferred to be in advance more than to be late." Hanbin admitted while taking his shoes off.
"I prefer to sleep as much as I can, but since it was our last schedule, I got up at 7. It's not usually the case, you can just show up here five minutes before we go, which depends on the travel time, and the hour we have to be at the studio." Hao explained while guiding the korean man to the living room, to wait on Gyuvin.
"I see. I will try to match this as much as I can." Hanbin replied while looking at Hao.
They had to get in the car before 8 am, or else they would probably be late, which is not professional at all. It would take them 30 minutes to get to the variety show studio, and it was already 7:50.
"Gyuvin-ah!! Hurry up!" Hao half shouted down the stairs.
"I'm ready I'm ready !" The tallest one answered, as he hurried down, almost stumbling in his way. He then saw Hanbin, standing besides Hao. "Hi ! I'm Gyuvin ! Nice to meet you, you must be Hao's new bodyguard."
Hanbin immediately smiled when he saw Gyuvin, and opened his mouth just when the red haired man finished speaking.
"Well, I actually know who you are, I'm Seok Matthew's best friend, and Zhang Hao-ssi's new bodyguard, yes. My name is Sung Hanbin. I'm happy to meet you!" Hanbin said, while looking happy, almost excited.
"As in my bodyguard Seok Matthew? How cool is that! The world really is a small place isn't it?" Gyuvin answered, as happy as the latter. "I hope we'll be good friends then"
Hao looked at both of them conversing with a little smile on his face. Gyuvin was an extrovert, it was not that unusual to see him befriending someone, he was already friend with his own bodyguard, Seok Matthew, also known as Mashu, but never as Hyung, at least coming from Gyuvin's mouth. He said that because Matthew is cute, and a baby, he cannot call him Hyung, even if he's actually two years younger than him. To be fair, Matthew really is cute; he's also really fun, while being a good bodyguard. It reassured Hao about Hanbin's capacities to be his bodyguard. Yes, Hanbin was a happy-pill, and did not seem this threatening, but so was Matthew, whose abilities were not up to debate.
It was also good news that his bodyguard was not that much of a stranger. If he was Matthew's best friend, then he was a trust-worthy person.
"I think we should go, we're going to have plenty of time to talk in the car." Hao said, going to the entrance of the house, then starting to lace his shoes, quickly followed by the other two.
They closed the door, hopped in the mini-van, and headed towards the studio. Hao and Gyuvin sat each at a window, and Hanbin sat in front of Hao, facing him.
"By the way, why are you here but Mashu is not?" Gyuvin asked, while looking at Hanbin.
"Well, they told me that they didn't know how much of Zhang Hao-ssi's schedule or habits leaked, so I should follow him wherever he goes for a while. I mean, since it's the last schedule, they probably mainly meant that if he has a habit of, for example, going groceries shopping every Thursday evening, I should follow him, in case sasaengs know that too." Hanbin tried to explain without sound scary, while it certainly was a concerning issue. "I will make sure to protect Zhang Hao-ssi."
Hao lifted his eyes from the screen of his phone to look at Hanbin. "I often buy a drink at the 7 Eleven two streets away whenever I go outside." The chinese man said, stating a fact. "I'm usually up late, sometimes I go for a walk before sleeping, to clean up my mind."
"I'll come with you next time, just call me and I'll be there, they should have texted you my number, I guess, if they didn't I can give it to you." Hanbin answered, a smile on his face.
"I do have your number, I'll send you a message." Hao added, reciprocating a little smile, to not seem too cold.
The mini-van plunged into silence for a few seconds, before Gyuvin started talking again.
"Are you the same age as Matthew?" He simply asked, while looking at Hanbin.
"No I'm a year older than him." He stopped for a second before continuing to talk. "So three years older than you, I think?"
"That's right!" Gyuvin answered happily. "Can I call you hyung?"
"Of course!" Hanbin said, as joyful as the latter.
Hao watched the scene unfold in front of him, a smile on the face.
After thirty minutes of chatting, laughs, and Hanbin and Gyuvin befriending each other at a breakneck speed, they arrived at the studio, were thankfully, nobody was waiting for them, and they could go peacefully.
They started to record the show, Hao and Gyuvin promoting their last album, and talking with the host. Hanbin was sitting backstage, watching the filming.
Barely two hours later, it was finished. The two members of OneBaseZero got up, thanked the hosts and the working team.
"Hyung do you think we could get something to eat while returning to the dorm?" Gyuvin asked to Hao, while walking towards Hanbin, followed by the blond haired man.
"I don't know, probably, we can just ask the driver to stop somewhere and get takeouts." Hao answered to Gyuvin. "If it's on our way, there's no reason to deny us. I'll ask."
"Thank you hyung!" Gyuvin said, with enthusiasm.
Quickly, the three of them were already on their way towards the mini-van. Hao asked the driver to stop somewhere to get takeouts, who responded positively to the request.
"We should ask the others if they want something too, hold on, I'll call them" Gyuvin said, his phone already in his hand, which he used rapidly to call Ricky. Not even a minute later, he hung up. "He'll send me a message with everyone's order, so we can get on our way!"
They all got in the mini-van, sitting exactly where they were when coming to the studio.
"Do you want something?" Hao asked while looking at Hanbin, who did not said anything since a lot of time. For someone who seemed to be extroverted, it was weird, Hao thought. "I'll pay."
Hanbin looked at him, his ears getting a little red, while his voice rose up."There is no need to, I will pay for myself don't worry."
Hao looked at him, restraining a laugh. "I was already planning on paying for everyone anyway. I take care of the five other members, I can take care of one more stomach."
Hanbin looked at him and smiled, his ears slightly more red than before. "If you insist…" He let out a laugh. "Thank you Zhang Hao-ssi"
Hao looked at him, almost in disbelief. "I will pay for your meal, I think we should drop the formalities a little."
Gyuvin looked at them, a smile on the face, and who knows what was on his mind.
When they arrived at a restaurant that serves takeouts, Hao took everyone's order and paid it. They got their order rapidly, and Hanbin took care of the three bags, placing one in his hand, and two in his other. He let the bags down on the floor of the mini-van until they got home, and once they were, he, again, took himself the three bags to get them in the house.
"I can take one, you know." Hao said, looking at the younger while walking to the house. Gyuvin was already far ahead of them, excited to get home and see the other members.
"It's okay, it's the least I can do for now." Hanbin answered.
Once they got to the house, they took of their shoes, and disposed the meals on the kitchen counter. The other members quickly gathered in the kitchen. The reason was unsure, whether it was that they were happy to meet Hao's new bodyguard, to see their two members back from the schedule, or if they were just starving. Or maybe none of that, it could also just be the appeal of free food. It probably was the appeal of free food.
Hanbin quickly introduced himself to the four more people that didn't know him. Gyuvin added something about him being Matthew's best friend, and they quickly adopted him. Despite only one of them actually being older than the bodyguard.
The seven of them sat around the kitchen table, it was a pretty large and round table, that could probably handle one or two more people around it. They started to eat while talking about the variety show of this morning, about the end of promotions, about their upcoming concerts and about how bad they wanted to go on a world tour.
"It's bitter." Hao mumbled as he put his drink away from him. Hanbin, sitting next to him, looked at the idol. "Do you want mine?"
Hao looked at him, almost confused. "Yours?"
Hanbin took his own drink, and moved it in front of Hao. "My drink?" He said like it was obvious.
"Oh, I didn't know you heard me. Thank you." Hao said, while taking the latter's drink, proceeding to taste it.
"I hear everything." Hanbin simply said, looking away, quickly resuming the conversation around the table.
A couple days later, Hanbin was alone in his apartment while midnight barely passed.
Suddenly, his phone lighted up. A notification, a message, to be precise.
"I wanna go out"
It was sent by Zhang Hao. Hanbin remembered what they said a few days earlier, about the idol having trouble to sleep, and often going for a walk at night.
"I live nearby, I'll be there in 10. Wait for me please!"
Hanbin was, even through messages, not dropping formalities. Well, he was kind of afraid of being too comfortable around the older, because he actually quite loved his job enough for him to want to keep it.
Just after he sent the message, he put on a jacket, took with him his phone, his keys and his wallet, and walked towards his front door. When he got outside, he locked the door behind him, and headed towards OneBaseZero's dormitory.
Nine minutes later, he was in front of their door.
"I'm here, I didn't knock to not wake up the others."
Hao replied instantly.
"comin"
Not even fifty seconds later, Hanbin was faced with a gorgeous chinese man, dressed in a loose black pajama pants, a white t-shirt, and a dark gray zip-up jacket.
"Hi ! I hope I didn't wake you up, but I really wanted to go outside, and you said I should not go alone so…" Hao started, in a low voice, breaking the silence.
"It's okay, I wasn't asleep. You did just what I asked you to do, it's fine Zhang Hao-ssi." Hanbin replied, his voice as low as the older.
"What did I say about formalities?!" Hao falsely shouted, while getting out of the house and locking the door.
"Sorry, Zhang Hao… Mister Hao?" Hanbin looked confused, he didn't know how to call the latter anymore.
"Hyung is fine." The idol replied while walking in the street, inhaling fresh air.
"Hao-hyung…." Hanbin echoed next to the blond man.
"You look like a cat when you're confused, did you know?" Hao asked, half looking at Hanbin, half in front of him. It would be unfortunate to hit something.
"A cat? I don't know, maybe… If you say so. I used to think I look like a hamster." The bodyguard answered, his face adorned with a smile.
"I'll push the Sung Hanbin cat agenda then!" Hao replied happily while walking.
Hanbin froze for half a second before he started to follow the older again. He was really happy right now, he got along well with Hao, which made him joyful. But the most important part was that Hao seemed genuinely comfortable with him, which was really important to Hanbin.
The breeze was fresh but pleasant. The silence between the two man was not heavy, it was pretty delightful, like they didn't had to talk to enjoy each other's company.
Around five minutes later, Hao, followed by Hanbin, entered a 7 Eleven and went towards the drinks section.
"Do you want something?" Hao asked, while taking a peach drink out of the fridge.
Hanbin took the drink from his hands, and took a second one, the same, before closing the fridge's door.
"I really like this drink! I'll pay yours too. Do you want snacks?" He said, while looking at the idol with a genuine angelic smile on the face.
"I'm fine, thank you. I can also pay, you know?" Hao answered while trying to take the drinks away from Hanbin's hands, meaning his question was more of an affirmation.
"I know, but I'll still pay for it. You paid my meal the other day!" Hanbin answered while walking towards the checkout. He handed the drinks to the cashier and paid for them, followed by an almost sulky Hao.
Once he got the drinks back, he handed one to Hao, which he took, and walked on the way to get outside again.
"You know the tables in the 7 Eleven are free, right?" Hanbin said, following Hao, amused.
"Yes, I just like being outside at night much more." They passed the door, and the breeze hit their faces again. "It's so calm. I like it. I hear so much noise everyday, that it makes the silence so much more valuable. I love the kids, and I love my job too! But it's just really nice to get some peace after such stimulation."
Hanbin was speechless, it was so obvious yet he didn't think of it himself. When you're doing a job that makes everything about sounds, silence becomes peace. It doesn't mean he didn't like what he was doing, it just meant that he, too, wanted calm sometimes.
"Should I keep it quiet then?" Hanbin asked while looking at Hao.
"It's fine, I didn't mean to shut you up." Hao said while laughing. "I just meant that I don't like sitting in the 7 Eleven, there is some random sounds and people I don't know, I prefer being outside with the fresh air."
It sounded pretty reasonable.
When he finished to talk, he turned back to start walking again.
It quickly became a habit of theirs to go walking together at night, at least twice a week. Until this one time, two weeks and a half later after their first hang out.
They were, once again, together, outside, after midnight passed, when Hanbin started to notice someone who seemed to follow them.
During those two weeks, they did not see a lot of people outside, this late at night, in the neighborhood. But the most unusual thing was probably that they seemed to follow them.
At first, Hanbin didn't worry, they were walking towards a 7 Eleven, it was most likely that this third person was going there too. But it really started to worry him when that very same person did not enter the 7 Eleven after them. Hanbin thought about it, the person was short with a light frame, meaning it was most likely a girl. She didn't seemed that much of a threat towards Hao, but it was still weird enough for Hanbin to get into his bodyguard mode, more than his Hao's friend mode.
"I think a girl is following us." Hanbin said, with the calmest voice he could have. "It's okay, I'll handle it if it's true."
Hao looked at him and smiled. "She's probably a crazy fan or a sasaeng.Probably not a threat towards my safety but more of a problem towards my private life."
"I will make sure she does not do it again." Hanbin answered, a little more serious, while he walked to exit the shop.
His eyes scanned the surroundings. That's when he saw her, again, in the darkest place of the street, between two streetlamps. She was clearly trying to hide herself, her phone in her hand, pointing towards the 7 Eleven. She was probably taking pictures of Hao.
Hanbin approached her.
"Hello. Could you please stop whatever you're doing? Following him late at night and taking pictures of him is not something you should do. It's invading his private life. Not to mention that going out this late at night could be dangerous for you too." Hanbin explained, with as much calm as he could have at the moment.
He thought that, maybe, with a lot of luck, she would understand. If it was not for the 'you're invading his privacy' part, he hoped it would at least be for the 'it's dangerous for yourself too' part.
"He's not supposed to hide anything from me, he's my future husband. Well, he doesn't know it yet, but I'm sure we would be a perfect match. I just need to find the perfect occasion to introduce myself." The girl answered, probably not getting how crazy she sounded.
So she was that type of fan.
"Who even are you?" She said, suspicious.
Hanbin crossed his arms, unpleased.
"I'm going to repeat it, you're invading his private life and putting yourself in danger." Hanbin said, more firmly. "If you do not stop, I'll have to do something about it."
The girl almost laughed.
"What are you going to do anyway?"
Hanbin checked if the phone in her hands was unlocked, before taking it in his own hands.
"Firstly, when it comes to his safety and privacy, you have to know that I'm authorized to do this." Hanbin said, while going through the girl's gallery, and deleting every photo she took of Hao that night. He also made sure to delete the photos again in the bin of the phone to make sure she could not recover them.
Obviously, the girl was trying to fight back. Both physically and verbally. Well, the physical part was lost in advance for her, considering she was against a tall and well-trained bodyguard. About the verbally part, she was mostly screaming "No don't do that" or "You have no rights to delete my photos". Little did she know, Hanbin did actually have the right to do it. If she wanted to take him to court, he could just show her his employment contract.
When he made sure the photos were all deleted, he handed her phone back to the girl.
"Secondly, I can do way more than deleting pictures. Do not follow him again." Hanbin said firmly, with a serious look on the face, before turning back towards the shop where he met Hao again, sat at one of the 7 Eleven's table. The idol looked like he was in a way worse state than before Hanbin leaved.
"Are you okay?" Hanbin asked while taking the seat next to him.
Hao almost looked surprised by the younger's voice, meaning he was probably disconnected from reality before Hanbin called him.
"I am, it's fine, it's just always shocking to get fans like this." Hao answered, not looking okay at all. Hanbin was not sure if he was lying or trying to convince himself.
"Let's go to the dorm, I'll take you back. Did you pay already? If not I'll do it." Hanbin replied while placing his hand on the shoulder of the older.
"It's okay, I paid already." Hao said while getting up from his seat.
They both walked to the dorm in an utterly calm silence. The atmosphere seemed too heavy for Hao, who walked way faster than typically. He wanted to get to the dorm as soon as possible.
They arrived around nine minutes later. Hao went in, and when Hanbin was ready to say goodbye, Hao grabbed his wrist.
"Could you… stay?" He asked, timidly.
Hanbin looked at him, surprised, but didn't want to question why would Hao ask that. The reason seemed pretty obvious.
"Yes I can, I'll grab a pajama at my apartment and come back to sleep on the couch if it makes you feel more safe." Hanbin gently responded.
"No… I can give you a pajama." Hao said while taking his shoes off, inviting Hanbin to do the same, which he did, while nodding.
Then, they went upstairs for Hao to grab a pajama to give to Hanbin.
"I have this one, it's a bit too large for me so it should suit you, we are about the same height but you're larger than me." Hao said quietly while taking a pajama out of his closet and handing it to Hanbin. "It's from a trip in Europe, I picked the wrong size. Their sizes are way larger than ours." Hao explained to Hanbin, who didn't asked for an explanation, but it was much appreciated to know that it was not someone else's pajama, so he nodded. "You can take a shower if you want, as long as the door is closed, it doesn't make too much noise."
Hanbin nodded, once again. Hao got out of the room, followed by Hanbin. He lead him to the bathroom and showed him his products for Hanbin to use. Then, Hao let Hanbin alone, and returned to his room, where he took his jacket off, letting him alone in his pajama.
About fifteen minutes later, Hanbin returned to Hao's room with his clothes from the day in his hands.
"Where should I put them?" The younger asked while putting his clothes in evidence in his hands. "They're not really dirty, let alone the fact that I'll have to put them on again tomorrow since that's the only clothes I have right now."
"I'm sorry." Hao said while taking the clothes out of Hanbin's hands, and placing it on a chair in the room.
"It's okay, Hao-hyung!" Hanbin marked a pause in his sentence. "Do you need a hug?" He asked gently while looking at Hao with the sweetest eyes, but also very concerned.
Hao nodded in silence, and Hanbin approached him to take the older in his arms. Hao melted in the embrace of his bodyguard. The hug had probably lasted only a few seconds, but those were so healing to Hao that it felt like an eternity. When Hanbin took a step back, Hao felt like something was now missing. He gathered all his courage and looked at Hanbin.
"Can you sleep with me tonight?"
Hanbin almost froze.
"I…" He started.
"Sorry I would not have asked this, it was inappropriate." Hao said while bowing.
Hanbin approached Hao, and straightened him back. "It's okay, I'll sleep with you." Hanbin finally said, a little smile adorning his face, his cheeks getting a little pink.
Some seconds later, Hao turned on the bedside lamp, and turned off the room's lamp.
Hanbin got under the sheets while waiting for the older to get in the bed.
"It feels weird." Hanbin murmured. "Not you! Don't get me wrong! It's just that, usually, I sleep with nothing on top."
Hao tried his best to absorb the information without looking like a weird person. He tried to reply a little 'okay', but he was not sure if he succeeded. Nonetheless, Hanbin did not say anything more, which made Hao assume he was okay and comfortable.
Half a minute later, Hao turned the bedside lamp off, and they quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, Hanbin woke up first, and his face painted itself with astonishment when he noticed Hao clinging to him like a koala. The older was cuddling him, forcing Hanbin to stay in place, impossible to move.
Well, if he was not going to move, something he could do was stare. Because anyone with eyes could see that the idol was very pretty, of course, but at that right moment, Hanbin found him particularly beautiful. Natural, with no makeup on, asleep, calm. His face expressed peace.
About a minute of staring later, Hanbin let his eyes wander through the room, because he never had the chance to explore it yet.
There was a queen size bed in the corner of the room, where he was, surrounded by two nightstands. The bed was facing a large closet. Next to the closet, there was a desk filled with meticulously organized papers and a closed laptop. The chair of the desk was more guessable than visible, under Hanbin's clothes.
Once he finished his exploration of the room, Hao finally awoke.
A silence.
A heartbeat.
Who's heartbeat?
That's when Hao's confusion ended, and he realized his head was on his bodyguard's chest. All of a sudden, he moved and cut off every contact between their clothes and skins.
"I'm so sorry Hanbin I didn't meant to keep you from moving, or just to be this close." Hao quickly explained while sitting in the bed just so he could bow down to Hanbin as a sign of apology. Still not bowing too close to Hanbin, just in case.
"It's fine it's fine." Hanbin answered while keeping Hao from bowing again. "I'll get my clothes and give you your pajama back."
With that being said, Hanbin got up from the bed to take his clothes from the chair. When the youngest leaved the room, Hao turned to his pillow and sank his head into it while turning utterly red.
A minute of meltdown later, he got up from the bed and went downstairs to make breakfast for both himself and Hanbin; a bowl of yogurt with frozen blueberries for each.
When he just finished doing both breakfasts, he heard footsteps coming from the staircase.
"Hello." Ricky greeted. "Are you especially hungry today?" He said while pointing out the two bowls.
"No, Hanbin slept here, I'm making breakfast for him." Hao answered. "We found a sasaeng yesterday night!" He added with a fake smile.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Ricky instantly replied with a concerned look.
"I am. It's okay, I was just afraid."
That's when they heard footsteps coming from upstairs again, going down the stairs.
"Hello Ricky!" Hanbin said with a smile, before turning his face towards Hao. "I put the pajama on your chair again, I didn't know where was the dirty laundry pile."
Hao nodded while offering one of the two yogurt bowl to him. "I made you breakfast." He exclaimed with a smile, while taking a spoon to hand it to the younger.
Hanbin took both the bowl and the spoon and went towards the table to sit, where Hao followed.
Ricky watched the whole scene unfold with a smile on the face, before he finally moved to make his own breakfast.
The next day, Hanbin awoke with a notification, a message, from Hao.
Hao hyung
I think I'm sick and the members want to go out
I probably caught a cold yesterday?
It was colder yesterday and I took the same jacket
as usual
Hi Hao hyung
Do you need something?
Where do they want to go?
I'm fine, it's just 2 or 3 days of coughing
In a restaurant and then a club I think?
I wanted to go with them
They're going in the evening and I'll be alone
Do you want me to come over?
PLEASE HANBIN-AH
Alright then see you in 2 hours hyung
Following his words, two hours later, Hanbin was in front of Hao's door, that the older opened.
The others had already left, leaving Hao and Hanbin alone in the whole dorm.
"Hi Hanbin-ah, thank you for keeping me company." Hao said while letting the younger enter the house. "I hope I will not make you sick, I tried my best the whole day to avoid the members." Hao explained while laughing.
"It's okay!" Hanbin exclaimed while taking his shoes off. "Should we order something to eat?"
"Yes!" Hao answered excitedly. "Sushi?" He suggested while looking at his bodyguard.
"You're the sick one, I let you choose!" Hanbin said while taking his phone in his hands, he opened the app to order and handed his phone to Hao. "Choose your order."
Hao took the phone in Hanbin's hand and started his sushi order. While he finished, they both headed towards the soft couch in the living room and turned on the TV. When his order was done, he handed out the phone to his owner again.
Hanbin added the food he wanted to get, and paid the whole order. While waiting on the younger, Hao chose a movie to watch on the TV, and settled for 'Elemental'.
About twenty five minutes later, someone rang the doorbell. Hao paused the movie and Hanbin got up from the couch to walk towards the door. He took their food and came back to the living room, setting everything on the small table, while the idol resumed the movie, and they started to eat. All of this in complete silence, because apparently, they found out they didn't need words to understand each other.
When the movie ended, they already had finished eating. Hanbin got up to throw everything in the trash, while Hao looked at him, spoiled.
"I'm sick but my legs and my arms are still functioning you know?" Hao said loudly while laughing a little.
"I know, but it's not hurting me to do this for you." Hanbin replied seriously, while coming back from the kitchen, standing behind the couch while Hao looked at him.
"Oh really? Then, I'm cold, can you go upstairs to catch a blanket for me?" The older asked, teasing his bodyguard.
Hanbin answered by a simple nod while heading upstairs. Hao got up from the couch and followed him.
"Hanbin-ah! You don't even know where the blankets are!" He said while getting at the level of the younger.
"Oh, then show me." Hanbin replied while turning his face towards Hao, smiling.
They both went upstairs, Hao headed the younger towards his room. They entered and Hao walked to his closet, trying to get the blanket standing on top of it. Hanbin followed him and tried to do just the same.
The blanket fell from the top of the closet, causing Hanbin to lose his balance. Quickly, to retrieve it, he put both of his hands on the desk next to the closet.
Hao, just between Hanbin's arms, looked at the younger's face, his cheeks getting pink.
A silence settled between the two men. Hanbin staring at Hao's face for something that seemed like eternity to the older.
When Hanbin seemed like he just realized the situation, his ears got all red instantly.
"I'm sorry." Hanbin said, then, he bit his lip, as if he wanted to add something, but seemed to wonder if it was appropriate.
Hao didn't say anything, mesmerized by the man in front of him, not even hearing his apology.
"Zhang Hao, can I kiss you?" The bodyguard asked while his cheeks got as red as his ears.
Three seconds of silence later, Hao blinked like he just heard what Hanbin said.
"I'm sick, you should not…" Hao started, but he was not able to finish his sentence, interrupted by Hanbin.
"You already give me so much of a fever, I wouldn't mind getting a real one if it means I got the privilege to kiss you."
Hao's cheeks got red after hearing this, silently nodding to Hanbin. After he got the permission, Hanbin approached Hao's face with his own, closing the distance between their lips. He moved his right hand from the desk to Hao's waist.
They kissed, parted, kissed and kissed again. Kisses getting slower and faster, deeper, hungry.
Hao's hands moved to Hanbin's neck while he kissed him once more.
When they finally parted a little bit longer to catch their breath, Hao's hands moved from the younger's neck to his chest, slightly pushing him towards the bed where Hanbin sat.
"I'm still cold…" Hao said while sitting on Hanbin's lap, putting his arms around the younger's neck again.
"You're so fucking pretty." Hanbin said sincerely while his face found a place in the older's neck, kissing his skin.
The curse from his bodyguard run a shiver down Hao's spine.
Hanbin put one of his hand on the waist of the idol, passing his arm in his back. His other hand found its place in Hao's inner thigh. Kissing and biting Hao's skin where he's sensitive, making the older whine under pleasure.
When Hanbin finally looked up from Hao's neck, his stare was hungry, almost psychotic, like we wanted to devour Hao as fast as he could.
Hanbin moved his hand from Hao's inner thigh to to place it under Hao’s knees, allowing Hanbin to lift the older to lay him in bed while he stood above him, his hungry gaze meeting Hao's eyes.
His hands roaming on the older's body, almost like a predator. Once they found the hem of Hao's shirt, he grasped it to take it off. He then dove in to kiss every centimeter of the exposed skin, as if his life depended on it.
Hao made little sounds of pleasure each time Hanbin's lips touched his skin. Each contact was so much to Hao, yet not enough, so he grabbed Hanbin's sweater and passed it over his shoulders. His broad and now exposed shoulders.
Hao starred at the skin of the man above him. He was built, his abs defined, but the most mouthwatering thing about Hanbin was the two tattoos that just got unveiled. One on the his biceps, the other decorating his collarbones.
"You like the view?" Hanbin asked, while his eyes met Hao's. The chinese man nodded in silence, too mesmerized to consider talking. "I like mine too." Hanbin said while closing the distance between their lips once again.
Hanbin then took off Hao's pants, along with his own.
Hao felt Hanbin's warm hands and lips all over his rather cold body.
"Let me take care of everything." Hanbin said, his voice low and hoarse. "Let me take care of you."
Hao nodded at the younger. Hanbin grabbed Hao's hands to put them over his face, forcing him to let them in place.
"Hanbin-ah…" Hao begs. "I need you. Please."
Hanbin seems to accept the older's begs, because he gently take off both their boxers, while still kissing Hao everywhere. When Hanbin detached enough, Hao finally got to see between his legs, and the view amazed him.
"You're huge as fuck." He said, almost shocked.
Hanbin let out a chuckle. "I'll be gentle." He answered.
The bodyguard's horniness was visible, and it would not take long until he'd become fully hard.
Hao's hands moved from above his head to open the night table drawer. Hanbin looked at him, intrigued. The chinese man pulled out a bottle of lube and he put it on the top of the table.
"Do you need a condom? I'm clean." Hao said while looking at the younger.
"I'm clean too. Thank you baby." Hanbin answered while leaning in to place a gentle kiss on Hao's lips, while the pet name made him gasp.
While he straighten up, he grab the lube to get some on his digits. When Hanbin gets his fingers to Hao's rim, the older almost moan just because of the coldness he feels at his entrance.
"Are you ready?"
Hanbin waits for Hao to nod before pushing his fingers through.
The sudden feeling of being full makes Hao fully moan this time.
"No wonder you're a singer, your voice is beautiful." Hanbin said while working Hao open. Slowly and gently, but also deeper and wider each time.
Seconds later, Hanbin adds another finger, making Hao moan loudly once again.
Hao never stops to make sounds after that, it was impossible for him to create a sentence, but his moans and whines were far enough for Hanbin to understand the pleasure Hao was going through.
Speaking of things going through other, the bodyguard added a last finger.
"You feel so good hyung. So warm."
That's when Hanbin move his head to see Hao's face, that he realize he's crying.
"Did I hurt you?" Hanbin asked, alarmed.
"No… feel so good." Hao answered while sobbing. He gathered all the strength he had left to form his sentence.
Hanbin smiles while stretching the older open.
Not even thirty seconds later, his fingers leave Hao to grab the lube again, pouring some on his fully hard cock.
When Hao looks down, his vision clouded by tears, is exactly the moment Hanbin chose to enter the older's body. Slowly, it's firstly his tip, that already made Hao moan and his body move from pleasure, as an undesired reaction. It does not cause pain, it just feels so much.
Hanbin decided to place one of his hand to hold the older's arms on top of his head, keeping him from moving, keeping him in place. With that being done, he continued his intrusion even more. While Hao looked at the younger, sobbing, moaning and whining from pleasure.
The deeper Hanbin went, the louder Hao's moans were.
When the younger finally reached all his length inside the idol, he groaned from pleasure.
Hao felt so full, so much all at once. When he felt like Hao adapted himself at the intrusion enough, Hanbin started to move inside of him, leaving his arms to get the older's hand in his, interlocking their fingers.
Hao's back arched off the bed and his eyes rolled so far while Hanbin moved inside of him.
"You're taking me so well hyung. You feel so so good." Hanbin groaned.
"You're… you're making… me-" Hao stuttered, almost unable to speak. "-so full."
Hao moved his legs to wrap around Hanbin's hips, making him get even deeper in the older, if that was even possible. They moaned in unison, helping them to ascend their climax.
"Close." Hao simply said, not able to say more.
"I'm close too baby. Together?" Hanbin asked while tightening his grip onto Hao's hand.
Hao nodded quickly while a moan escaped his mouth.
With a last thrust, Hanbin buried his cock the deepest he ever reached into Hao, making both of them come at the same time.
Hao started relaxing, feeling the sudden emptiness in his body. Laying in his bed, he felt a kiss on his forehead, one on his cheek, and a hand leaving his own to caress his jaw.
Probably not even a minute later, he fell asleep, tired by his day, his sickness, his emotions, and what he just did with his bodyguard.
When Hao woke up the next day, the first thing he realized was that he somehow got cleaned up, and dressed in his pajama. He didn't had any memories of doing it himself, assuming Hanbin did it for him. Speaking of the latter, he was nowhere to be seen.
Hao turned his head to his nightstand where a scribbled piece of paper was waiting for him.
"I didn't know if I was authorized to stay, and since the other members were coming back, I left
Text me when you wake up <3"
Hao didn't know what to do. Last night felt so good yet so wrong. He knew he should absolutely not be doing all of this with someone he's working with.
What if their emotions get in the way?
That's it. Hao decided it was never going to happen again. He gathered all the braveness he could, and took his phone in his hands.
Hanbinnie
It was wrong
We should not have done that
I'm sorry
???
Why ?
It was a one time thing, that's it
I'm an idol, I should not hook up with a bodyguard
Did you not like it?
Did I hurt you?
Are you mad I left you alone in the morning?
I'm sorry
I'll do better
You did nothing wrong
It felt good
But we can't do this again
I don't understand
Hanbin was genuinely confused, he was not angry at the older, but he could not understand the sudden change of mind.
He thought he did everything perfectly, he thought he made Hao feel loved. Yet it was not enough, was he not enough?
No. He quickly erased his thoughts and sent a message to Matthew.
"Can I see you? need to talk"
Matthew's answer came quickly, as expected from his best friend.
"Sure, I'm at my apt with Gunwookie, u wanna come over? or i can come to ur apt if u want"
Hanbin smiled from the reply and texted back that he'll be at Matthew's apartment in thirty minutes. He got up from the chair he was laying in, took his phone, keys, wallet and earphones, and he left his home, heading towards the metro station.
Around thirty minutes later, he knocked at Matthew's apartment door. The canadian man opened the door for Hanbin to enter, he took his shoes off and laid in the couch, where Gunwook was already sat. Following the older, Matthew got to his living room too and sat on the sofa chair.
"So, what's going on?" Matthew asked, a little worried, while grabbing a bag of crisps, opening it to lay it on the small table.
"You know, yesterday, Hao was sick." Hanbin started to explain. "I went to the dorm to keep him company since, you know, we're friends now."
Matthew and Gunwook both nodded, waiting for Hanbin to continue.
"But you know this very small tiny little crush I have on him…" Hanbin paused.
"Did you finally made a move?" Matthew almost shouted.
"There's no way." Gunwook said, as shocked as the canadian.
"…Well. If making a move means kissing him forty seven times in total, and having sex." Hanbin got interrupted.
"What ?!" Matthew yelled. "That was fast as fuck."
"As fuck, literally." Gunwook said while laughing.
"Anyway! So it happened, and I left because the other members were coming back, but this morning, he texted me that we did something wrong, that it's never going to happen again, but he still said that it felt good, and I'm… lost." Hanbin explained, looking miserable.
Gunwook placed a hand in the back of the oldest, trying to comfort him.
"From what I saw, by being Taerae's bodyguard, Hao seems to be quite distant with the staff. He doesn't seem to dislike them, I just think he's afraid of befriending people that he'd never see again after his contract ends." Gunwook said to Hanbin.
"He's also really professional, so he probably thought that it was not good for him to sleep with a bodyguard you know?" Matthew said while trying to make sense of Hao's behavior.
Hanbin nodded. It made a lot of sense, but it was hurtful.
Firstly, because Hanbin had a crush on Hao, secondly, because he thought that Hao considered Hanbin enough of a friend to know he would not leave him this easily. The argument of "he's professional", on the other hand, stood quite well.
"You guys make it seems like love is so easy." Hanbin said in a sigh.
Gunwook laughed while Matthew smiled.
"We're couple goal!" The shorter one said proudly.
"Right in front of my salad?!" Hanbin exclaimed while joining the laughter.
It took him some time, some snacks and some friends around him, but Hanbin was finally genuinely smiling for the first time since Hao texted him.
Kim Minsae (SleepOne)
Hello Sung Hanbin-ssi,
I need to inform you that due to a change
of plans and schedules, a fansign
will be held for OneBaseZero in three
days, we will need bodyguards so you
are working.
Hello Kim Minsae-ssi, thank
you for informing me, I'll be there.
Hao thought he was going crazy, he was still trying to convince himself that what he said to Hanbin earlier was the right thing to do, but deep down, it was hurting him. Ripping him apart.
Firstly because, after the night he spent with Hanbin, it was impossible for him not to think about it anymore, because he truly enjoyed it. Secondly, because he knew that he hurt the younger, and it was unbearable.
Finally, Hao made the choice to leave his room, and walked towards Ricky's. He knocked two times, and opened the door after hearing Ricky answer from the other side of the door.
"I think I messed up. Really bad." Hao said, getting into the point immediately.
Ricky patted right next to him, on his bed, inviting Hao to sit.
"Let's add context can we?" Ricky said with a smile, a hand on Hao's shoulder to comfort him.
"Okay, so you know, yesterday, Hanbin came here to keep me company?"
Ricky nodded, waiting for the older to continue.
"We had sex." Hao admitted.
"Okay, first, is this relevant or just a TMI? Second, excuse me what?!" Ricky answered in awe.
"It is relevant. The problem is not about yesterday, because, I liked it. But when I woke up, I sent him a message saying that it was wrong to do this. And as much as I'd love to stand by it, I don't think I meant it. I would've mean it with anyone else but… not him." Hao said while playing with his fingers in a sign of stress.
Ricky patted Hao's head while showing worry on his face.
"What do you think about him?" Ricky asked.
"Oh, he's adorable, he's always here when I need him, and even when I don't. He's lovely and such a great friend!" Hao replied excitedly.
"As friend? Only as friend? Because I don't know if you're aware of it, but I don't hook up with my friends. You do whatever you want but, just so you know." Ricky said while fighting a evil smile to appear on his face.
"Stop mocking me!" Hao exclaimed loudly. "I don't know, he's really caring, nice and all, but he's a bodyguard. I should keep it professional shouldn't I?" Hao asked, wanting confirmation rather than a real answer.
"His phone number will not expire if he's not working as your bodyguard anymore, you know?" Ricky answered, more as a matter of fact than anything. "From what you said about him, and what I saw yesterday when I got home, he's not planning on leaving you anytime soon. He cleaned up everything you know?"
"Yeah, he even cleaned me." Hao spit out quickly, as a verbally intrusive thought.
"TMI !" Ricky yelled instantly while Hao laughed.
"But seriously, he actually took care of me yesterday, I'm pretty sure that if I was not asleep laying in my bed, he would have changed my sheets for me. Which I did, by the way." The older explained, stating facts with a smile on the face.
"He seems like a nice guy. He took care of you and, even before yesterday night, he makes you happy."
Hao nodded in approval, before looking at Ricky.
"I think I like him… Which means I actually messed up really bad, right?"
Two days later, the six members of OneBaseZero were all at a fansign, along with their six respective bodyguards, and some staff members.
It annoyed Hao that they didn't know about this fansign until two days ago, but his fans, well, most of them, were really nice, so he was really happy to meet them!
The only problem in sight for the chinese man was the presence of his own bodyguard, that seemed undeniably uncomfortable in front of Hao. And it was a fansign - Hanbin had to stay just next to Hao for two and a half very long hours.
Some fans seemed to take pictures of Hanbin, making Hao feel almost bitter to have a gorgeous bodyguard. It's not that he wanted the attention on him, he just didn't want the attention on Hanbin. Ricky would have called this gatekeeping, Hao preferred not to think about whatever Ricky would say if he was in his mind right now.
When the fansign finally ended, all the members gathered backstage, in their dressing room.
Gunwook followed them because he was talking to Taerae, so Matthew followed Gunwook, and Hanbin followed Matthew. And now, all nine of them were in the dressing room, most of them happily conversing, except for Hao and Hanbin that were throwing glances at the other at each occasion they had.
Hanbin really tried hard to ignore Hao, but he couldn't do it, as much as he wanted to.
Hao really tried hard to get Hanbin's attention, but it didn't seem to succeed enough.
Tired of this, Hao stood up from his chair and grabbed Hanbin's wrist quietly.
"We need to talk." Hao whispered to Hanbin.
The younger nodded and followed the chinese man in a remote corner, three corridors away.
"Firstly, I want to say that I'm really sorry. I should not have turned you down this fast, and I know it was wrong." Hao started to explain.
"It hurt me." Hanbin harshly answered. "But I also tried to understand, and I know how hard and scary it can be for idols to have relationships."
"I'm… pleasantly surprised?" Hao said, not sure if he was believing his own words.
"So it means it's a no, I guess?" Hanbin replied, looking a little down and sad.
"Well I… didn't say that either."
Hanbin instantly looked up to get an eye contact with the older, seeming as excited as a puppy.
"What exactly are your… intentions? Towards me?" Hao asked, unsure. Hanbin smiled.
"My feelings?" Hanbin marked a pause, like he was thinking, but the reality that he had his answer since far enough time to say it loudly. "I'm very interested in you, I like you."
Hao smiled immediately, before he tried to hide it.
"Cool, nice, lovely, that is very cool." Hao blabbered while clearly panicking.
The younger laughed a little too loudly for Hao's liking.
"Why are you trying so hard to keep it nonchalant?" Hanbin asked, keeping an eye contact with Hao.
The older instinctively looked down at his shoes while making a step back.
"I'm not trying to do anything!" He defended himself. "I mean… I like you too." Hao finally admitted, making Hanbin the happiest man on this planet.
Speaking of Hanbin, his eyes gently shifted from sympathy to love, no, it was deeper than that, it was lust. It was lust because Hao's position, his shyness, reminded Hanbin of how cute the older looked under him.
Hao's problems was that he liked that, and he might look at the other with the same sparkle of desire dancing like flames in his look, if only he dared to look up again.
Was it morally wrong to sleep, twice, with the idol you're supposed to protect, while one time already made things weird? Maybe. Was Hanbin still considering it? Of course. Because what Hanbin wanted was more than to sleep with Hao, he wanted to convey his entire being to the older, to praise and worship him like he never felt it, to make him feel as loved as he deserved to. He wanted to compete alone against the love of all the thousands of fans that Hao had.
When they were this close to each other, burning with the desire of being as close as possible, being so close we wouldn't know where each body starts and the other end. Being so close they would form one. When they were this close, what was morally wrong or not didn't matter anymore.
Hanbin approached Hao, whose cheeks were running hot as hell. Literally.
The black haired one bent a little to look at the idol, at his idol straight in the eyes, then, he frayed his way to Hao's face, cupping it with one hand, forcing the other to look at him. "Can I?" He said, his voice low, but hearable.
Hao tried to nod, his words dying on their way from the brain to the mouth. It wasn't that easy since his face was not really in his control.
Without lasting a second, Hanbin close the distance between their lips, placing his free hand on Hao's waist. Usually the same height as Hanbin, Hao felt so small in this particular moment, but it felt great. He placed his hands in Hanbin's neck, getting him the closest he could. The distance of their bodies, merely ten centimeters, was too much for Hao to bear with.
"Hanbin-ah." Hao said when they parted.
The younger made a little sound, in sign of listening.
"I love you."
They smiled while looking at each other.
"I love you too hyung."
The whole dorm quickly accepted the idea that Hanbin would spend a lot of time there, now that he and Hao were together, and they actually seemed really happy about it.
Some may say that it was because it made Hao happy, some other would prefer to say that it was because Hao was not here to monitor everything they did now. Either way, the result was the same.
While Hao and Hanbin were heading downstairs, they heard two voices yelling at each other. When they finally made it to the living room, they witnessed the two men bickering.
"Kim Ricky!" from one side, "Qubing!" from the other.
"Are they in love?" Hanbin asked Hao, feeling a little dumb that he did not already know the answer.
"Worse." Hao said simply while both of them started laughing, drawing attention to them.
"Is that a hickey?!" Ricky asked, pointing at Hao's neck.
Hao placed a hand in his own neck to cover it, looking furiously at Hanbin, who, suspiciously, seemed to find the ceiling particularly pretty to look at.
"Hanbin-ah! You know I'm an idol, you can't do that!" Hao shouted at Hanbin, who tried to escape.
"I'm sorry okay, it was too tempting!" Hanbin tried to explain himself.
"Why?" Hao replied angrily.
"Well you have a neck and I have lips!" Hanbin said while holding his arms up in a sign of resignation.
"TMI !!" Ricky and Gyuvin both shouted together, making the four of them laugh together.
They definitely accommodated quickly to the new relationship this house created. More of a house, it was a home.
