Mina POV

"You slept over at my house before." Chaeyoung said but I swear I see him smirk. Shoot!

Everyone stops and stares at us wide eyed. I can look at then as I keep look down how I wish the someone bury me in the grave. I look at Tzuyu, she looks hurt, Jihyo and Sana completely look confused. While Chaeyoung two friend are grinning look at me and Chaeyoung. Dirty minded boys.

"No, its not like that! I accidentally locked myself out of the house. You guys know how everyone in my house are deep sleepers. So, I sleep on his carpet. Well, no. I slept on his bed and Chaeyoung slept on the carpet." I said tried to explain to everyone.

"Speaking of that, you didn't seem surprised to wake up on my bed. Were you awaken when I carried you up?" He asked me already wearing devilish smile. I swear my face starts turn to red even my whole become red. Chaeyoung just chuckle looking at me.

"You could have stayed with us." Tzuyu said with a bit of spite.

"I-." Chaeyoung cut me off.

"Mina and I are pals. So, its perfectly normal." He leans against me and little more.

"Whatever you say bro. Pals, sure. We got it." Jeongyeon chuckles.

"Yeah, we haven't even stayed at your house before." Dahyun grins.

I'm tongue tied as she not even trying to fully explain the situation. Tzuyu look upset, while Jihyo and Sana already went upstairs to unpack. I sigh. The boys leave too, leaving me and Chaeyoung on the couch alone downstairs. Chaeyoung shoulder is burning out even though I'm cold.

"We should go get some food. I think there's a restaurant in this place but I'm not sure about the pricy is it. There's a outlet mall and shopping center nearby. Maybe we can find a pizza shop or something." I can hear Jeongyeon said.

I glance at Chaeyoung, his head on my shoulder, fast asleep. I didn't even notice that he moved his arm. I don't even drive but I'm sure its tiring to drive for two hours. I try to moved his head onto couch but it wouldn't budge. So, giving up is the only thing I can do since I don't to wake him up. His hair tickle my cheek, and his sharp jaw presses into my shoulder. I can hear his deeps breaths. I want to see his sleeping face. I bet its cute. Shut up Mina. What am I thinking? Tzuyu likes this face. I have to stop thinking about him. Chaeyoung head shifts and he starts to wake up just as the others start to come back down. I quickly stand up, letting Chaeyoung body to fall over.

"Damn. Is he asleep?" Jeongyeon walks down first.

"I think so." I reply.

"Well, we can leave him. The mall is nearby, so we can walk." Everyone started to walk out but I stay a bit behind and check on Chaeyoung.

His face is red and he's breathing hard. I put my back hand on his forehead, and its warmer than its supposed to be.

"You guys go ahead. I think Chaeyoung's sick." Tzuyu look concerned but hesitant to stay behind. The idea of the meal is in ticking to her.

"Its fine. Just bring back some pizza or something. And something healthier for Chaeyoung though. Oh, and buy him some medicine." I said to them. Again, Tzuyu seem she wants to stay but doesn't.

"Ok, sure." Dahyun replied. They go out and Tzuyu the last one to leave.

I turn my attention back to Chaeyoung, who's starting to sweat. I kneeling down beside the couch and start to unzip his jacket. I try to peel it off of him, but he's heavier than I thought. A gentle shake is what I could do instead.

"Hey Chaeyoung. Get up. You're sick. Let me fold out the bed." Chaeyoung responds with a grunt. I shake him again and he starts to wake up.

"Come on Changie. Get up real quick." He stand up and walk over to the kitchen table sitting on one of the chairs.

I get to work, trying to fold out the couch. First, removing the cushion before pulling a latch that release the frames. I pull it out and lock it in place. I run upstairs to steal a couple of pillows and a spare blanket in the closet. Chaeyoung wait patiently even though he looks like he could really lay back down.

"Here, let me take off your jacket." I start to peel it away, revealing a sweaty shirt under.

Its clinging to his body, revealing his muscles. I awkwardly cough as I scan his muscles. Shoot!

"Hmm, arms up." I instruct him. My eyes glued to the ground.

"What?" Chaeyoung respond in word after grunting since the others left.

"Just do it." He raise his arms and I start to take off his shirt.

Shoot! He's damn fucking hot. I mean, he's hot. Hot plus hot, hottest. What are you thinking Mina? Stop being pervert.

"Hmm, sleep shirtless. You will feel better." I keep look down as Chaeyoung crawls onto the bed and under the blanket.

"Wait here. I'm going to go you some medicine." I check time and its only 2pm.

The other were probably not going back yet once they get caught up in excitement and fun. I text Jihyo.

Me : I'm going to get Chaeyoung some medicine and food. You guys have fun and don't feel pressured to come back early.

Jihyo : Are you sure?

Me : Yes, don't worry.

I find a sandwich shop nearby that sells soups. I buy a chicken soup noodle to go along with grilled cheese sandwich. Luckily, there's a small grocery store around the area and I buy Advil. When I get back to hotel room, Chaeyoung was feeling better already watching some tv.

"Hungry?" I asked as I out the food on the kitchen table.

"Kinda." He smile at me.

I relaxed a bit, relieved to see that he's better. I never seen him like this before, weak and vulnerable. So, it scared me a bit.

"I got you some soup and Advil." I start taking the items out of the bag.

He thanks me and start eat. I can see he not a big fans of chicken soup so I pass him some of my sandwich to him. He refuse but I shove the half into his mouth. Chaeyoung shocked before starts chewing. We sit and eat, Chaeyoung takes his medicine and we watch tv until the others get back.

"Hey bro, feeling better?" Dahyun walk in with the box of pizza.

"We ordered two boxes of pizza and have some leftover." He explain.

"Yeah, I'm feeling better. So, what did you guys do?" Chaeyoung asked.

"We walked around the mall mostly." Sana respond showing shopping bags.

"It wouldn't be long if you, ladies didn't try on everything." Jeongyeon chides.

"Whatever, I'm going to bed. Enough with the exercise at the mall." Sana head upstairs follow by Jihyo. Tzuyu look at me with sad expression before following them. Once, I hear the bathroom free I turn to Chaeyoung who busying watch tv.

"You should take a shower first. Don't take too long since you're sick." I turn off the tv.

"Sure." He grab his pyjama and head to shower.

While he washes up, I rummage through my backpack for clothes. A basic tshirt, some black short that go to my mid thigh and underwear of course. I debate if I should wear a bra, but I want to sleep comfortable. So, I get an additional tank top to wear underneath. Chaeyoung leave the bathroom shirtless, catching me by surprise. He's only has on a pair blue short and a small towel draped over his shoulder to catch the drips of water coming from his hair.

"You can use it now." He walks by me shamelessly. Wow, just wow.

After shower, my hair was slightly wet even I drying for five minutes with towel. I'm too tired so I put it in a simple braid and went downstairs. Chaeyoung already sleeping in the bed completely under the blanket with only his head poking out. I climbed on as quickly as possible so I won't wake him. My body was on the edge of the bed, trying to distance myself. He moves a bit and shuffle around and drapes some blanket over me. I'm not facing him, but I wanted to turn look at him. I wonder how he look while sleeping. I wonder if he still sick. I wonder if he was even sleeping.

A few minutes passed, but I can't sleep. I feel like I'm drank a gallon of coffee. I couldn't resist anymore, I turn to faced Chaeyoung. In an instant, he pull me in by my waist toward his body. His arms wrapped around me and his leg hooked mine. His eyes stayed shut all the time. I barely had time to act, as my arm folded up so that my palms were pressing against his bare stomach. He didn't put on a shirt when he went to bed. Shoot! I gulped so hard, I felt it go down my stomach. I feel like a pervert since I caught myself counting his abs. My face was so close to his chest, I could smell the soap he used. I swear he's obsess to strawberry.

"Chaeyoung." I whisper, trying to wiggle out of his hold.

"Lets stay like this. I'm cold." He said softly in his raspy voice that make my heart melt like butter.

My heart flutters before I feel the hammers again. The hammers I haven't felt this last two months. The hammers I tried so hard to suppress. They came back stronger than before to the point that my rib felt they were going to shatter any second. It might have been me, but Chaeyoung heart felt like it was beating just as hard and fast as mine. Chaeyoung loosens his grip on me and I relax a bit. His body is warm and he's wrapped around me like an envelope. I could have crawled out of his hold but I didn't. My mind blanking and I couldn't move. I wanted to stay there. It feels like I'm sick and Chaeyoung is my medicine. God! What's happen to me?
