SEPTEMBER: WEEK 1/ SUNDAY
CHANYEOL'S POV
I wake up to the smell of roses
Oh, it's Onew's shampoo
My eyes widen
Why am I still in Onew's room? Baekhyun is gonna kill me
I slowly and carefully get him off me since his head is on my chest and I try to quietly get out of his bed
*Knock knock*
But I lose my balance and fall on the floor and that did it, it woke up Onew
"Mr. Jinki, breakfast is almost ready," one of Onew's employees says behind the door
I sit on my butt with my hands on the floor keeping my balance
I look up and see him rubbing his eyes
"Chanyeol?" he yawns. "What are you doing here?"
"I uh..." I feel my face heating up
He tilts his head and waits for me to talk
"I fell asleep.... watching you. Sorry"
He chuckles, "O... kay? Did I snore?"
No, but you called my name about a dozen times
I shake my head
"Good. That would have been embarrassing," he jumps off the bed
We both wash up in his bathroom
"Let's go make a smoothie for Luhan and Sehun before they wake-up," Onew says
"Luhan! Why do you have a bat!" we hear Sehun yell
Our eyes widen
"He's awake!" I yell
Onew and I quickly run out of the room
JONGIN'S POV
Where am I?
I'm in a room I don't recognize
I feel a little woozy
I hear the bedsheet rustle next to me
I check who is next to me
I'm dead! It's Kyungsoo!
Why is Kyungsoo next to me?!
Relax. Relax. We probably just slept here... unless
Should I check? I'm scared!
I lift the blanket that's covering me
My eyes widen
I'm naked... No. No. No.
I'm a horrible person! I took advantage of Kyungsoo while he was wasted! Now, he'll never want to be with me
I hear Kyungsoo murmur
I can't be here when he wakes up! I want to live!
I have to think about what to say but not now
I get up from the bed and look for my clothes
I quickly get dressed, write him a note, and leave
I'm sorry Kyungsoo
BAEKHYUN'S POV
Ugh, what did Yixing give me last night
I slowly get up and look for my glasses
Where am I?
I finally see my glasses on the nightstand next to me and put them on. I look to my left and see a guy sleeping next to me, his back is facing me. I sit up and check to see who it is
It's Kris
Oh shit
I feel my heart racing
Shit! I don't remember anything from last night
Suddenly a pair of feet are uncovered by the blanket right next to Kris' head
There's some in between Kris and me
Another guy?
I check the other side of the bed
It's Yixing! Why is he here?!
What the hell is wrong with me?!
I hear Kris groan
He sits up and stretches, then he looks at me half awake
"Morning," Kris yawns
"Morning," I say
"I'm up," Yixing jerks up causing me to jump
"What happened last night? I- I'm scared to know... but I have to know," I ask almost panicking
"Relax," Kris mutters. "Nothing happened. Well no. That's a lie"
"Eh?!" I say
What does he mean by that?!
He tells Yixing and me what happened last night
After he brought us upstairs, Kris left Yixing and me in one of Zico's guest room and stepped out for a bit. He bumped into my cousin, Sungjae. Sungjae was passed out in the hallway so Kris took him to another guest room. When he came back to check on Yixing and me he caught us kissing and decided to stay here for the rest of the night.
According to Kris, the only people who were sober the whole night were Zico, Kibum, Kyungsoo, and him.
I'm so ashamed of myself
First, I was biting Sehun's ass, then I sat on Kris' lap and made a pass on him and to top it all off, I made out with Yixing?
This is so embarrassing
"I'm so sorry," I say. "Both of you. I wasn't myself but that's no excuse for my actions"
"I don't remember anything as well," Yixing says. "I shouldn't have taken that pill B-Bomb gave me. That's when everything went blank. I'm sorry if I caused any trouble. Thanks for watching over us, Kris"
"Yes. Thank you, Kris. Sorry for all the trouble," I say
Kris smiles at me, "It's all good. Come, let's get you guys home to get some rest"
We get up and take turns washing up
Oh my gosh, what am I gonna tell Chanyeol?!
He'll definitely get mad when he finds out...
Or If he finds out
If... if is good
KYUNGSOO'S POV
The sunlight through the window hits me and wakes me up
Last night was one of the best nights ever
After Jongin woke up, he told me felt a lot better and wanted to be alone with me
We went upstairs and well... one thing led to another
I feel myself smiling remembering last night
I sit up and rub my eyes
"Jongin," I mutter
I look to my left and nothing
I knit my eyebrows
"Jongin," I call out to him
Where did he go? Maybe the bathroom?
I put my feet on the floor and sit there for a minute waiting to see if Jongin comes out of the private bathroom
There's a note on the nightstand
I pick it up and read it:
I'm sorry Kyungsoo, but let's not talk about what happened last night.
It was a mistake. I wasn't myself
I'll leave first so people don't see us together
I hope you don't hate cuz I like you
I know you don't deserve this so that's why I'm apologizing
I'm sorry
-Love Jongin
"A mistake?" I feel my heart breaking and tears falling down my cheeks
I crumble up the paper and lean on the headboard then hug my knees
Why would he do this to me?
I thought he loved me
I'm such an idiot
I wipe my tears
He used me and now that he got what he wanted he throws me away, leaving a stupid note
I take a deep a breath
Don't cry, he's not worth it. Don't cry
Damn it, Kyungsoo don't fucking cry!
I grab a pillow and cover my face since I began to cry again
I hate myself
SEHUN'S POV
I'm lying on my tummy
I turn my head since my face is on the pillow
I slowly open my eyes. I see the sunlight from the window and a silhouette sitting on a chair
My vision clears up. It's Luhan smiling at me
I love him... but that smile is creepy
How long has he been waiting there? Staring at me
"I'm going to kill you," Luhan says still with that creepy smile
I lift my head up and balance myself on the bed with my elbows
"What?" I ask
"I'm going to kill you, then I'm going to kill Minseok," Luhan says he hovers over me
"Luhan-" I groan in pain when I try to roll over on the bed
My whole body hurts... especially my ass. Why?!
"You thought you I wasn't gonna notice, huh?" Luhan says, he looks like a crazy person
"What are you talking about?"
"I inspected you... all over. Everywhere," he says referring to my body
I wrinkle my nose, "I- I feel so violated"
"And I feel betrayed," Luhan says and holds up a bat
Wait- A bat?
"Luhan! Why do you have a bat!"
"To kill you"
"You're acting crazy!"
"I DON'T CARE!" Luhan yells
The door opens, Chanyeol and Onew come running in
"Stop!" Chanyeol yells as they both run to Luhan and grab him as he was ready to swing the bat
"Luhan, calm down," Onew says
"I'm going to kill you and Minseok!" Luhan yells
"Oh no, he knows," Onew says
Knows what?
"What are you talking about?" I ask
"YOU HAVE MINSEOK'S NAME TATTOOED ON YOUR ASS!" Luhan yells
"Is that why my ass hurts?" I asked looking down at my ass even though my clothes and the blanket is covering it
Luhan's eyes widen even more and he looks pissed. Luckily, Chanyeol and Onew are holding him
"Why else would there be a reason? What else did Minseok and you do?!" he asks
"I don't know... stop yelling. My head is killing me," I say
"You get some rest, Sehun," Onew says and Chanyeol nods
Chanyeol and Onew carry Luhan each one of them holding his arms while Luhan continues to yell, cursing me
My head. My ass. Oh, my aching everything. It hurts
Maybe Luhan would be doing me a favor on killing me
MINSEOK'S POV
I jerk up and wipe the drool off me
Am I in my room? I'm in sooooooo much trouble
I try to get up and my eyes widen. Why does my ass hurt!
"Ow!" I screech and sit back down but that was stupid of me since I sat on my ass so I lay down on my stomach
*Knock knock*
"I'm not decent," I mutter since my face on the pillow
"Well then get decent. Mom and dad are downstairs and we have a guest," Changmin says behind the door
Nooooo
I lift my head up from the pillow. "Ugh, fine. I'll be right out," I say
*
*
*
*
Ah man, it wasn't a dream. I have Sehun's name tattooed on my ass!
Luhan is gonna kill me for what happened yesterday
I remember everything. Ugh!
I enter the family dining room. Everyone is there
Mom, dad, Mark, Changmin, Minho, and a girl sitting next to Mark.
"Morning," I say
"Morning," They all say
"Min, this Amber! She's my new friend," Mark introduces me to the girl sitting in between him and my mom.
I smile at her and she smiles back
"Told you my brother was cute," Mark says and Amber laughs and nods at him
I roll my eyes and smile
My dad is sitting at the head of the table and so I walk over to where Minho and Changmin are sitting but I stop halfway
I turn to them right at the opposite side of where my dad is sitting and everyone looks at me
I can't sit. It hurts
"Minseok, sit down and join us," my mom says
I panic. No, it hurts. I can't. What do I say?!
"Minseok, sit down," my mom says in a firm tone
Fuck it. "I can't my ass hurts," I announce
Everyone stops what they're doing. My parent's eyes widen
Minho and Changmin choke on their food and hold their laugh while Amber covers Mark's ears and Mark whines, "I wanna hear the rest!"
"What," my dad says
I panic again and think quick on my feet. "Jo- Jongdae and I... made up," I say
Minho and Changmin chuckle
My mom and Amber look at me in horror and so I know where to go with this
"A- and we had sex-"
My dad's eyebrows knit, "You... with Jongdae? ...sex?"
"Yeah, dad... you know- uh anal-"
I was cut off by Minho's loud laugh and Changmin hitting the table
"I'm taking Mark upstairs... to read a bible," Amber gets up with mark and they leave the room
Mark whining the whole time and I watch them leave
"Minseok. What could have possibly made you think this was appropriate for you to say here," my mom says
"I- uh thought you would have been... you know... happy for me," I say
My mom's face gets red
"Uh, of course, we're happy...for you," my dad says in an awkward tone
"Yay," I say without any enthusiasm and just stare at them
"I- uh *cough* I think we're done here," my mom gets up and leaves
My dad gets up. "Happy... for you," he mutters and leaves
Once I see that they're gone I sigh in relief
Minho and Changmin finally calm down
"What?!" Minho yells with a big smile, "For Pete's sake, Min. You're a virgin"
I fake a laugh when I hear Minho calling me a virgin. Like hell I'll tell them now I'm not. I'm as much of a virgin as our parents- Oh! ew!
Minho continues, "I think... I think cuz of you, Mark will get the talk... again... in more detail"
Changmin laughs, "He's fifteen, he knows what's up"
"Yeah and so do our parents. If you catch my drift," I smile
They both just stare at me, disgusted
"Just to clarify, I meant Jongdae's dick-"
"Yeah we get it Minseok," Minho says, disgusted
"You're too much," Changmin laughs
"I need your guys' help," I change the subject
"I'm scared to find out," Minho says
"I have to get this tattoo removed," I say
"Ah, I thought you wanted to keep it as a momento," Changmin sneers
"You know that will hurt like a bitch," Minho says
"It already does!" I whine
"I need an ice pack," I mutter and head to the kitchen
"Whoa, hold up," Changmin stops me
"What?"
Minho and Changmin look at me confused
"Aren't you supposed to have a hangover?" Minho asks
"No. I didn't drink. Well, I did but one. B-bomb offered me a pill and poof. I woke up here," I explain
"I'll kill him," Minho mutters. "I told you he was bad news"
"I think I've realized that by now," I say pointing at my butt
Changmin chuckles and Minho shakes his head
"Now, excuse me. I really need that ice pack," I leave the room and get an ice pack
As I head to the kitchen I think Minho and Changmin finally realizing what I just told them
Hint- hint: about the pill
"Pill! What pill!" I hear Changmin yell
"Minseok! What the hell!" Minho yells
I just stand there in the kitchen with the ice pack on my butt
My dad walks in and I look at him
He panics, quickly avoids eye contact, and leaves the kitchen
I chuckle to myself. They will never look at me the same
CHANYEOL'S POV
I check my phone
Should I call or text Baekhyun
"Chanyeol," I hear Onew
I quickly put my phone away and smile at him
"Breakfast is ready, come on," he pulls me up from the sofa
I enter the kitchen and see the cook smiling at us
I bow at him and he bows at me then leaves
Luhan is leaning his elbow the table and his head resting on his hand. His coffee is black
"Crème?" I ask him
He looks up to me and shakes his head
I see Onew taking out an ice pack from his freezer
I take a seat across from Luhan and Onew is at the head of the table
Soon after we begin to eat Sehun comes into the room
"Oh, here," Onew hands Sehun the ice pack
"Thanks," Sehun mutter then walks over to Luhan
Onew and I just stare and watch what happens
Sehun pulls out the chair next to Luhan
"Bitch, I'll kill you. Sit somewhere else," Luhan tells Sehun
Sehun ignores Luhan's threat and sits down but then quickly gets up
"Ow! It hurts, Luhan!" Sehun whines
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"Kiss it," Sehun pouts
"I'll kill you-" Luhan charges at Sehun but Onew quickly grabs Luhan and holds him back
"Now you're asking for it Sehun!" Onew yells
Sehun laughs, "Yeah, I kind of was. Luhan, you are just so cute when you're jealous"
"You're an asshole!" Luhan yells
Sehun winces, "Stop yelling"
"Can you two stop yelling and talk it over," I say
"I have a better idea. No. Also, I have a question," Sehun looks at me
"What"
"Where's my shirt? Whose shirt am I wearing?" Sehun asks
"We found you without a shirt," I mutter
"I have to head home," Luhan says. "Do you have my clothes?" Luhan asks Onew
"Where is my shirt?" I hear Sehun ask himself
"Oh, I left your clothes upstairs, come on," Onew and Luhan leave the kitchen
*Ding Dong*
"Are you gonna get that removed?" I ask Sehun
"Hell yeah," he says
"Do you know how much that hurts and long the process is?"
"Did you see the crazy look on Luhan's face? The guy threatened me with a bat. I have to. Plus, he'll cut me off unless I get it removed. Minseok is Luhan's ex"
"Oh, right. I forgot," I say. "Why were you alone and drunk with Minseok anyway?"
"Honestly, I don't remember much... Okay, think... think... I went to Zico's party and was gonna wait for Luhan. Ravi offered me a drink and I took it and then I stole Jongin's drink too and before I knew it I was on my seventh cup of beer. I remember Luhan telling me about a stolen I.D. but that's about it"
I laugh. Stolen I.D. I remember Luhan mentioning that too
Sehun snaps his finger, "Oh and Baekhyun"
That caught my attention, "What? Baekhyun was there?"
Did Baek go to the party with Kris?
"Yeah. He danced with me for a bit... that's all," Sehun says
Oh, I guess not. But that phone call. There was loud music playing in the back and he called out to Kris. It had to be at this party I wasn't invited to.
"Onew!" Sehun and I turn around, it's Minho and Minseok. "Onew!" Minho yells again
"Sir, Mr. Jinki will be right down," the butler tells Minho
"Thank you," Minho bows at the butler
"Drop your pants!" I hear Luhan yell
Onew and Luhan come into the Kitchen
"What?" Minseok asks
"You heard me drop them," Luhan tells Minseok
Minseok looks around at all of us then sighs and starts to unbuckle his belt
"Whoa! Whoa!" Minho and I say unison and we both stop Minseok
"What are you doing!" I ask
"Stay out of this Chanyeol," Minho glares at me then turns his attention to Minseok. "What are you doing!"
I roll my eyes
"He said to drop them," Minseok mutters
"Not here!" Onew yells
We go upstairs to Onew room
Onew, Luhan, and I sit on Onew's bed, Minho sits on a chair beside the bed right next to Onew while Sehun and Minseok remain standing
"I don't feel comfortable showing my butt to all of you," Minseok mutters, holding an ice pack on his rear
I knit my eyebrows, "You were just gonna moon us downstairs"
Luhan makes himself more comfortable and he leans on me while hugging one of Onew's big duck plushie
"I just wanna get this removed," Minseok whines
"Minseok," Luhan speaks
Minseok lifts his eyebrows, "Uh"
"Do you remember what happened last night?" Luhan asks
Minseok nods, "Yeah... yeah, I do. Everything"
"You didn't tell me this?" Minho comments
"You didn't ask," Minseok says
"Can you tell us?" Sehun asks
"Yeah. When I got to the party, I was greeted by Zico and B-bomb..." Minseok lowers his head and sighs
"Long story- short. I took a pill that B-bomb gave me and then chugged down a cup of beer," Minseok says
I can tell he regrets it
"Minseok, what the hell," Minho says. He looks really mad.
"Minseok... I don't trust B-bomb. He could of easily have taken advantage of you. Don't ever do that ever again if I'm not around," Minho says. He must really care for Minseok
"I promise- I promise. Anyway... after that, I went to see Baekhyun-"
"Was he with Kris?" I ask
Minseok looks at me and then nods, "Yeah... he was. They were just talking at that time-"
"What do you mean at that time?"
"Weellllllll" Minseok avoids eye contact. "As I was leaving the house with Sehun... I saw... I saw Baekhyun and Kris... Baek was on Kris' lap... they were kissing, Chanyeol. I'm sorry"
"Oh..." I look down. I can feel everybody staring at me
I look up and fake a smile, "It's okay guys"
They all look at me with concern, even Minho
"Really guys... we never said we were in an exclusive relationship so... he did nothing wrong"
"Nah uh, you can't let Baek get off that easy. Especially after he made such a big deal about you liking On-" Sehun stops when I look at him with darting eyes
Seriously! Right in front of Onew AND Minho!
"Liking who?" Minho asks
Sehun panics, "Liking... liking-"
"Liking Onew. See! Onew! I told you! Chanyeol likes you!" Minho tells Onew while pointing at me
Onew stands up, "Minho, shut up! He didn't say that! Right?"
Sehun nods, "Yeah. I meant liking ONother person"
"It's another," Minseok says
"Yeah but I have a hard time pronouncing my words," Sehun says
"Who's this other person you like?" Luhan asks, stilling leaning on me
I smile at him, "Doesn't Matter." I look at Minho, "It's no one's business but mine, right? Minho?"
Minho shrugs, "Yeah, whatever"
Minseok tells us the rest of what he remembers
Sehun did not cheat on Luhan but Luhan is still upset with him
Once they got on the city streets they literally went to the tattoo shop
Afterward, they walked around. When they finally got tired, they sat on a bench. That's when we came and took them home
*
*
*
*
Onew and Minho are talking upstairs in Onew's room while the rest of us are watching tv
"What are they doing up there?" Sehun mutters
He's laying on the floor on his stomach but I was still able to understand him
Minseok is laying the same way and right next to Sehun
"Just talking, duh," Luhan says
Luhan and I are laying next to each other on the sofa, me holding him
"You don't know that for sure," Sehun mutters
"Luhan's right. I doubt Onew is so happy with Minho right now. They were supposed to go on a date yesterday but Minho didn't make it. I came over to cheer up Onew. He was upset because of that," I say
Minseok lifts his head and rest his chin on the carpet, "It's wasn't Minho's fault though"
"How so?" I ask
"Storytime!" Sehun mutters, his face still on the carpet
I wanna go home and see Baekhyun
ONEW'S POV
"Just one more chance, Onew," Minho asks me
We're both sitting on my bed facing each other and I have my chin resting on my hand. I look down to avoid eye contact
Minho explained everything and why he missed our date. I feel awful cursing him in my head now. He saved a girl's life
"Onew?" he asks
I look at him and smile then nod
"Yes!" he cheers and then kisses me
"I won't let you down," he says but then pouts
"What's wrong?"
"I have to wait a week for our date now!"
I shrug
"Onew! That's a really long time!" he whines
"Deal with it," I shrug
"No! Let's spend the rest of the day together! It's only 11:24," Minho says
I shake my head, "No. I want ONE whole day now. I want it from morning to night"
Minho smiles, "Oh, I see." He wiggles his eyebrows, "Night. I didn't think those ideas ran through your mind, Onew"
I hit his arm, "Minho, you dog. That's not what I meant"
"I didn't say anything"
"But you implied it"
He leans in, his lips against mine, "So... you don't want anything to happen?"
I feel my face getting red
"Minho-"
He kisses me and then smiles against my lips
"I have guest-"
Kisses me again and towers over me to have me lay on my back without breaking the kiss
I don't know how he does it, but he easily makes me forget about everything else. How?
He begins to kiss, lick and bite my neck
"Minho stop," I say
He looks at me, "Really?"
I smile and shake my head, "No not really"
He smiles and connects our lip together
He nipples on my lower lip asking for permission so I open my mouth
*Knock knock*
"Are you guys being naughty in there?" I hear Minseok behind the door
Minho breaks the kiss and I laugh
"I swear Minseok I'm going to-"
"We'll be right out," I say
I grab the back of Minho's head and give him a quick peck but when I break the kiss he immediately connects our lips and I feel myself falling under his spell again
"I don't hear words. I know what you guys are doing with your lips and tongues," I hear Minseok once again
Then I hear Sehun laughing behind the door
I break the kiss and laugh, "Okay, get off me"
"Whoo! I knew Minho topped!" Sehun says
"Onew! Show Minho who's boss!" Luhan yells
Minho laughs and falls on the bed next to me
"Stop listening in on us!" I yell
"Come on let's take the others home and have some alone time," I tell Minho
His face lights up, "Really!"
"I mean to get to know each other"
"You can call it anything you want-"
I put my hand on his face to make him stop talking, "Stop talking before I change my mind"
"I'll be quiet as a clam"
We head down and take the others home. I take Chanyeol and Sehun home in Taemin's car whiles Minho takes Minseok and Luhan home in Minseok's car.
Chanyeol hardly said a word in the car... maybe he's preoccupied about what he heard about Baekhyun... maybe because Sehun wouldn't stop talking or maybe because he's upset with me?
I was scared to ask
Afterward, Minho and I meet up once again at my place and spend the rest of the day together.
Every time I look at him I feel my heart racing and time just stops
I find it hard to believe he likes me
It's too good to be true
