"I think we have a guest, Min," Jiwon communicates to Minseok who had seen the same thing when looking over the younger's shoulders.
As they get closer to their apartment Jiwon holds onto Minseok's arm as the boy takes his keys to open the door.
The man in front of the door turns around looking at the couple, "Min!"
"What?" Minseok answers flatly while making his way to the front door. Pushing Raphael casually aside.
"Are you going home?" Raphael asks. Jiwon, who was still clinging on Minseok's arm bursted out in laughter.
"Are all vampires this awkward?" he asks, "Yes, we're going home. No, you can't come in. Don't come in. We don't want you to come in. You're not welcome," Jiwon says as Minseok finally opens the door.
"You've hurt him, El. You're not welcome," Minseok says as he guides Jiwon in and is about to close the door.
"Urgh," Raphael scoffs, "Of course, close the door on me. One of your oldest friends. Who has also been there in your darkest days. Sure. Do it. Do it all for a random boy you've known for...four weeks."
Minseok dead stares Raphael, "Don't forget you were the cause of a lot of those dark days. And I'm sorry to break it to you, but Jiwon isn't 'random'. Just as Silas isn't 'random' either. But since you're here you must have figured that much out."
"Min, don't make it any harder. I just want to talk. Please."
"Too late. You can sleep on the rug."
After closing the door Minseok turns back to a Jiwon standing in front of him, smiling, "So..."
"So?"
"So Silas's mate is our teacher?"
Minseok smiles at this, somehow everything Jiwon did made him smile, "Yes. Yes, he is."
They both turn when they hear faint footsteps coming from their little hallway, shortly a body follows the sound.
"Hey, Si," Jiwon smiles, and then frowns, "What's with the face?"
"Gosh. I thought you guys let him in," he sighs.
"What?!" Jiwon exclaims, "You know I wouldn't! When did I eve-"
Jiwon got cut by Silas hugging him.
"What was that for?"
"Just wanted to appreciate what a good actor you've been," Silas smiles before returning to their little studio.
Jiwon looks confused at Minseok once Silas enters the studio. They had made the studio noise cancelling, so whenever someone was working on some dance moves or when Jiwon was working on a new song, the others in the house didn't need to hear it.
It also helped Jiwon concentrate. In a silent room with only his music to hear.
"When did I act?"
Minseok smiles at Jiwon before giving him a peck and entering the living room. Jiwon strides after him and sits down on the floor next to where Minseok leaned out on the couch.
"Min?"
"Sup?" Minseok answers as he takes his book out from behind one of the cushions.
"How am I a good actor?"
"It's nothing, honey, don't worry," he leans forward and gives Jiwon a brief kiss after which he draws back. Jiwon's mouth still half open in the air.
"But I think you were supposed to wash up, though?"
"Miiiiin," Jiwon whines, "Come on. Just tell me. Pretty please," he says with a pout.
Minseok groans and stands up, scooping Jiwon off of the floor in the process. Jiwon stomps with his legs telling him repeatedly to put him down.
Minseok throws him a little in the air so he can hold him beneath his butt instead of around his waist. They enter the bathroom and Minseok lets Jiwon down so he can close the door.
As he turns back to Jiwon he's met with the boy's back. "I'm not taking a shower. I just did before getting ready for the party," he arguments, with his arms crossed.
Minseok walks up behind Jiwon and sneaks his arms around his waist, slowly and sensually hugging the boy.
As he gets no reaction he slowly kisses the place he had just drunk from. Jiwon bites on his lip as he tries to suppress a whimper.
"Sure you don't want to take a shower?"
"Yes."
Minseok slowly hugs Jiwon tighter, "I think you still have a problem to fix," Jiwon shrugs.
After a pause of a mere second Minseok adds, "I'd love some help with it," in a whispery husky voice. Making Jiwon shiver.
Jiwon didn't move, feeling too much and still too little of the older one, "I'll take a shower later. You seem to need it more."
He was about to step away when Minseok turns him around and keeps him close, "And you're sticky."
"That's a lame argument."
"You not wanting to take a shower because I don't tell you why Silas called you 'a good actor' is a lame argument."
"I didn't say that was the reason," Jiwon bites back.
"And since when was I only able to understand you through words?"
Jiwon sighs, "Why don't you just say it? I'll tell you something you want to hear in return."
Minseok seems to think about this proposal for a second.
"Promise?" he asks while biting his lip.
"Promise," Jiwon secures him.
"Silas called you a good actor because you were able to keep the fact that I'm your mate a secret for him, even after we mated two weeks ago," Minseok blurted out.
"Wait, what? How does he-"
"My turn."
"What?"
"My turn to ask you something and hear you say something I want in return," Minseok smiles.
"But-"
"I don't know, ok? It's not as if we've got a good band. He threatened to kill me if I hurt you. Ask him later. The point is that he knew," Minseok interrupts.
Jiwon rolls his eyes at the man in front him, who's still holding him as if he's afraid that Jiwon'll flee, "Ok. What do you want to ask?"
"That's not your promise."
"What?"
Minseok clicks his tongue, "The deal was that if I'd tell you, you'd say something I want to hear."
"Ok?" Jiwon states confused, "What do you want to hear?"
"I want to hear you answer 'yes' or 'okay' to my question."
Jiwon looks suspicious at the smirking boy in front of him, "Ok. A promise is a promise."
"Take a shower.
With me."
Jiwon chokes on his spit.
