"An.. Andy, switch with me!"
The other six team mates were about to leave for their rooms but they all stopped and fell into silence as they stared at each other.
Shizu could feel the sudden change of atmosphere. Who wouldn't be surprised to hear a girl blatantly asked to sleep in the same room with the hottest man in the group? Especially coming from a supervisor that could easily abuse her authority.
Her eyes remained calm then she continued to validate her request. "I have a lot of work that I need to check w.. with Lee Yuki.." She stuttered.
Her little face heated up as she realized how awkward the situation had become.
Lee Changhyuk was taken aback but he could not say that he disliked this development. His eyes lit up and those wet lips twitched as he was fighting a smile.
Gyaaaahh!! Lee Changhyuk it is not what you think. I swear I'm not a pervert or a creepy fan!
She created the mess but she could also fix this! Shizu cleared her throat and convinced herself. She got this!
"Or Andy... D.. Do you wanna sleep with me?"
The atmosphere went even more quiet. She realized she could have worded it better. Andy's face turned white and his eyeballs almost jumped out of its sockets. After imagining about how the supervisor was after the hot Lee Yuki, Andy couldn't help but assume that he was her next target.
No no no no Andy, I'm not trying to violate you! Her face turned even redder than a tomato.
Shizu could imagine how scared Andy might be. If she really needed help, she just had to ask for extra hands and there was no need for switching room mates. Unfortunately Shizu could not think of anything else.
But hey! In her defense, it shouldn't sound too weird, right? Nothing was too intimate or sexual it was just all in her head! She was being professional! She reasoned with herself.
Shizu was about to cry but she's not backing down. She put her chin up and held her head still. She crossed her hands with confidence and forced a smile, but if you looked very very closely, a corner of her lips trembled a little.
In Andy's eyes and chaotic mind, Shizu was asserting dominance. She did not act like her usual self, she must really want to sleep with him! He didn't even like girls!
Not wanting to have any trouble with his supervisor, Andy was willing to risk everything. With a pursed lips, Andy took a step forward and nodded.
Lee Changhyuk was up in the sky but then his brows began tightened. He didnt wait for Andy to open his mouth before saying in a lightning speed. "Andy, could you please switch with her?" It was not a request. He took long strides then stood firmly next to her.
"O.. okay..." Andy was studying her face before hesitantly handing the keys then heaved a sigh of relief.
With her poker face, Shizu was only a heartbeat away from beaming and jumping around. Her mission to secure the Star was accomplished! But she decided not to since she still had some conscience. Andy the poor guy had the look of someone that was just saved from being sold to a brothel.
Lee Changhyuk silently lowered his lids to meet her gaze. 'What in the world are you thinking?' If his eyes could speak, those were definitely his words. Shizu quickly diverted her gaze from his and looked at Andy with the most professional expression.
Lee Yuki reached out his hand to take Andy's keys then replaced it with hers. The others excused themselves and headed to their room leaving Lee Yuki and the milk girl alone.
"Let's go." She lightly said without making eye contact or waiting for Lee Yuki. Her anxiety faded with the wind. She took large strides and happily followed the others to their rooms.
The property was huge. From the lobby they had to walk for about 5 minutes before reaching the rooms. The walk didn't feel that long cause they could look around. The hotel had 3 traditional restaurants and 2 bars. The typical guests of this hotel were the upperclass, you could see from how they dressed themselves- fully branded. Yui Shidoh requested this hotel cause she liked it and if the Queen liked something, of course she'd get it.
Le Sucre's team was excited as they crossed some guests that walked with yukata. Wearing a Yukata to a festival was always an excellent idea cause it made you look 10000% more attractive!
Shizu's eyes widened as she saw the lavish golden gate that would lead them to the indoor swimming pool. The receptionist said the hotel had 2 thematic spas and 4 public onsens, she also reminded Shizu that their open air bath was a must visit as it overlooked the beautiful Mount Fuji!
They were now walking through a corridor that ressembled an art galery. She would stop every now and then to look at a painting, most of them were of Geishas. Lee Changhyuk was silently walking behind her.
She was not the only one who just had a mini heart attack. When she asked another man to sleep with her, he thought he was about to abuse his power to close this hotel and kick everyone out. He realized he was being illogical, he was trying to stay low and not expose himself. Again, Lee Changhyuk found that being in love was a scary thing!
Fortunately being in love was not only scary but also simple, he could tell from how his mood went better by only seeing her walking happily.
But then her foot steps slowed down as though something started to bother her.
What what what what what??? Am I really going to be in the same room as Lee Changhyuk??? What if she got a nosebleed when she saw him shirtless! Did he sleep with clothes on? Wait that's not the main problem, why in the world she was thinking about these things!? Gosh, she's not a pervert!!!
Keep calm, Andy's room is a twin bed-room, she was telling herself. There'd be 2 separate beds. It shouldn't be that bad! She can do it! Just act natural!
They arrived in front of Room 303, Shizu did not wait for Lee Changhyuk and opened the door as she could not stand the suspense. She saw a beautiful king sized bed in the middle of the room. Her legs turned jelly as her heart fell to her stomach, she slapped her forehead hard.
