HOSEOK :

Hoseok was warm and comfortable. He smiled a little. He had to be dreaming. His body was resting on a soft surface and a warm body was pressed to one side.

Hoseok sunk even deeper in the tantalizing dream. His face was pressed to a cloud he assumed.

Consciousness came flitting in on the edges but he tried to push it away as he willed his mind to remain foggy. To not wake up yet.

He wanted to remain in this space, but he knew he had to face the reality of his life soon enough. It would be the same hated face of the guard Wilson coming in with the drugs and cuffs. Whips and gag. Blades, if he was particularly pissed off.

He had stopped dreaming early on, so his befuddled mind wanted to enjoy the rarity a bit more.

But the nudge of the warm body against him and the heavy weight of one arm resting around his middle felt too real. So did the soft surface below him.

His waking sense also noticed a pleasant sweet fragrance lingering in the air, nothing like the cold dank smell he was used to.

Confusion chasing away the last vestiges of his sleep, he groggily opened his eyes and saw the luxurious room.

He rubbed his eyes once, wondering if he had suddenly acquired the ability to dream with his eyes open, when it finally clicked.

Memories of yesterday rushed in and he sat up abruptly, uncaring of the grumble from the person next to him, who withdrew his hands from Hoseok and continued to slumber on.

Completely awake and cognizant now, Hoseok looked to the side to see Namjoon curled up next to him, and the rest of his friends still sleeping peacefully, cuddling each other, on the temporary bed they had made last night.

He craned his neck to look at the bed beside him to find it neatly made. Neatly made and empty.

Master is awake.

Something in him, started ro rise, then abruptly settled down. Ever since he had heard the name, a restless feeling of apprehension and excitement warred in him.

He reached for the blanket covering his lower body and lifted it carefully, so as to not disturb Joonie further, and slid away from their bed. He fixed his clothes which were now wrinkly from sleep then stretched his body and neck to get the crinks out.

He had NEVER slept so comfortably or peacefully ever before in his life. Being the breed he was, his resting place had always been in cage or a cell with its cold hard cement floor.

He turned around to look into the inner room to see where his Master was.

After all, it was due to her benevolence and consideration that he got to experience such a restful night.

He took a few steps to peak in the inner room and saw her seated on a sofa, her back to him.

For a moment, he thought to the most prominent of his emotion.

Be courteous. Polite.
Do not make her Fear me.

He was a Snake hybrid after all. He must be feeling these emotions to try and make her stay with his brothers.

Hoseok padded forward to her without making a noise. He had just crossed the threshold of the inner room when his Master called out without looking at him,

"Goodmorning Hoseok. Did you sleep well?"

He stopped in his track, blinking his eyes rapidly.

He was supposed to be the one with heightened senses, wasn't he?
