Someone's At The Door

"Tae..."

Carmela yawned and nudged the boy beside her with her elbow.

"Mmm..."

He slowly stirred awake, squinting his eyes open against the morning sunlight.

"Someone's at the door." Carmela whispered.

She sat up and looked down at his messy hair and handsome face. The muscles from his shoulder were peaking out from the covers. Carmela touched his skin to wake him when his soft eyes drifted close again.

"Come on, Tae!" She said, frantically looking at the door. A loud knock sounded again.

"TAE, FUCKING WAKE--"

"Okay, chill, I'm up... I'm up." Tae sat up, rubbing his eyes.

He looked so... cute in the morning, and his voice was raspy and deeper than usual, and his dark curly hair was in messy waves that looked so damn cute, and--

"Are you staring at me?" Tae smirked.

"N-no! Ugh, just go and answer the door!" Carmela said, blushing.

"Shit, I can't! This is your room. I'm not supposed to be here..." Tae scratched his cheek.

"But I literally have no clothes on."

"Yes you do. That's a nice shirt by the way. Wonder where you got such a nice shirt..." Tae smiled and leaned close to Carmela's cheek. His rosey lips were inches close to her skin--

"HEY CARMELA! WAKE UP! WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?"

Yoon's voice made both of them jump out of bed.

"It's Yoon! What do we do?" Carmela whispered, throwing her hands up.

Tae looked at Carmela's body hidden by his t-shirt.

"Okay, I'll just go." Tae said, sticking out a hand in front of her.

Carmela blinked in confusion down at his long fingers.

"Huh? What're you--"

"My shirt."

"Oh. Right." Carmela gulped and started to run to the bathroom, but Tae caught her by the waist.

"I'll help." He whispered.

Carmela gasped as his fingers hooked under her t-shirt and he peeled it off over her head. His face flushed pink and he hissed a breath as he stared down at her bare breasts. She gulped and found her throat dry, so she just watched his hungry expression.

"Fu..." Tae groaned and wrapped his arms around Carmela's waist and back, pushing their bare bodies together. He leaned his head down into her breasts and she gasped. He flicked his tongue over the hard tips of her boobs and she accidentally let out a moan.

"Ah-- ah!" She squeaked out, her legs wobbling.

Tae's strong arms held her up, as his lips sucked and slurped her tits. She slid her fingers between their legs, rubbing over the bulge of Tae's dick in his boxers and he moaned with his mouth around her tits.

"CARMELA! CAN YOU PLEASE WAKE UP?!" Yoon fucking shouted.

Tae jumped back in angry surprise, panting and wiping his mouth. Carmela shivered and lowered herself on the bed, breathless with pleasure.

Tae angrily pulled his shirt on and yanked open the door.

Shit, thanks so much for the warning, Taehyung. Carmela quickly ran to the bathroom, peeking out the door.

"Fucking hell, Yoon, what do you want?" Tae growled.

"I-- what're you doing here?" Yoon asked, blinking widely.

"Well uh... why do you care?" Tae tried to find the right words.

Carmela's head raced in panic. Yoon couldn't know she and Tae had sex last night! She needed to go and help Tae.

She looked around the bathroom and picked up her clothes on the floor from yesterday's shower. She quickly pulled the white skirt and sweatshirt on. They were damp and wrinkled but whatever.

Carmela ran out of the bathroom, smoothing her hair. She popped next to Tae and Yoon's eyes went wider.

"Huh? Carmela, why's Tae in your room?"

"Oh! I just--" She started but Tae cut her off.

"She asked me to kill the spider!" Tae blurt out.

"What?" Carmela snapped. Look at this scaredy-cat--

"She did?" Yoon asked.

"Yeah. She was screaming her face off, like jumping up on the bed and going 'eww gwoss its a spidow' so I HAD to come. Would you leave a poor girl begging for her life until she can't do anything except... beg?!" Tae finished awkwardly, struggling for words.

"No?" Yoon replied, tilting his face. Luckily, Yoon wasn't the brightest.

Carmela burned a death stare into Tae's pale face but he purposely ignored her. Fine then. Let's see who screams and who doesn't.

"Oh, no! Tae, I just saw it crawl into my backpack! Kill it, kill it NOW!" Carmela shouted, pointing to her black bag on the ground behind her.

Tae quickly turned around and Yoon stepped inside the room.

"It's in there? Now's your chance, Tae! Go and kill it!" Yoon nudged.

"W-wait, hahaha... I have to actually..." Tae gulped, smiling nervously.

"Oh yes you do. Would you just leave a poor girl like me begging for her life?!" Carmela pouted her lips as Tae gulped again.

"F-fine. Whatever, pfft. It's no big deal."

He lifted his foot and then suddenly stepped hard on top of Carmela's bag. Then he quickly jumped away.

"HEY! MY CLOTHES!" Carmela screeched.

"Don't worry, your clothes are fine." Tae panted, shuddering wih disgust.

"Stupid, Tae..." Carmela muttered, kneeling beside her bag.

Honestly the spider wasn't even that gross anymore. At the time it was alarming and scary but when you think about it... it's just a bug that looks strange to some people. That's not exactly fair to the poor bug. It's not the spider's fault it didn't look like a butterfly.

Carmela picked up her soft, lumpy bag and stood up. She shook it upside down. A pile of once-folded clothes scattered onto the floor. Hm. No spider guts so far. Maybe it had gone away during the night.

"Okay, well Roxana told me to wake you Carmela, and find you Tae. We're waiting for you both in the cafeteria." Yoon said, stepping out the hotel room.

"Kay." Tae replied, shutting the door after Yoon.

He turned back to Carmela. She was on the floor, choosing what to wear out of the random shit she threw into her bag back home.

Tae tried to pick her up off the floor.

"Now, where were we?" Tae growled in her ear.

"Hey, no! We have to go, Tae!" Carmela giggled as he nuzzled his face in her neck.

"I don't wanna. I wanna stay with you." He whined.

"I-I mean, we'll still like... be together in the caf." Carmela stuttered, her heart thudding.

"Fine, fine." He said, and let go of her.

Carmela smiled at him and picked up a pair of light ripped jeans and a dark green crop top. She held them out in front of Tae.

"What do you think?" She asked.

"Hm?" He looked confused.

"My clothes. Do you think I should wear this or--"

"Carmela, what the fuck are you doing?" Tae said, his voice tight.

"Huh? I was just... asking you." She frowned at his stern reaction, but he gently put a hand on her arm.

"Listen. Wear what you want. Do what you want. Nothing else matters except what you want, babe." He said, softly.

"Um, o-okay." This man...

"I don't want you to ask me what you should wear or what you should do. I'm not the boss of that."

Why do I...

"O-okay."

...love everything he says and does...

"And... I want to know what you think... about us." Tae said.

Does that mean--

"Us?" Carmela's stomach fluttered with butterflies.

"Yeah. Last night, I told you... I want you... I like you. But I wanna know what you really want."

"Tae, what the fuck?" Carmela snapped. The boy froze in surprise.

"What did I do now?" Tae said.

"You're stupid as hell. If my feelings aren't obvious and you can't see them, then my hair's probably green to you!" Carmela huffed, her face burning.

Tae looked shocked, but his lips twitched into a happy smile. Carmela hid her wide smile and ran to the bathroom with her clothes.

She giggled to herself and took off her old clothes. She slipped on a bra and buttoned up her dark green crop top. After pulling on her loose ripped jeans, she washed up and brushed her hair smooth. Then she touched up her eyes and lips with a bit of mascara and red lip tint. She looked in the mirror.

Good enough.

Carmela stepped out of the bathroom. Tae was waiting by the door. He was changed into black ripped jeans and a black sweatshirt. Carmela tried not to stare at his tall body as he leaned against the wall, staring at his phone.

Did I actually have sex with this guy...? With... Tae?

She cleared her throat nervously and the curly haired boy looked up.

"You change super fast, don't you?" He said, straightening up.

"Shut up, Tae. Thanks for waiting for me, though." She smiled and grabbed her phone, slipping it into her back pocket.

"You can't just be ONLY nice, right? Likw you have to say something mean first, don't you." Tae laughed, opening the door.

"Yep. That's me. Take it or leave it." Carmela said, stepping out into the hallway.

"Ha, you just called yourself a 'it'." Tae laughed outloud to himself. Carmela scoffed at his grade 2 joke.

They walked side by side in the hallway towards the cafeteria. Carmela spied the tall boy towering next to her in the corner of her eye. Suddenly, Tae softly slipped his large hand through her small hand, linking his long fingers around hers.

Carmela fought a smile as they approached the door to the hotel cafeteria. They stopped in front of the wooden double doors. Everyone was sitting behind these doors. With their questions ready.

She looked up at Tae. He looked back down at her and gave a reassuring look. Then he let go of her hand, and Carmela felt slightly dissapointed. But it's fine... obviously he wasn't comfortable with telling everyone right now and she respected that.

Also... it wouldn't be nice if the others knew HOW exactly they had confirmed and revealed their feelings for eachother. Uh uh UH.

Tae pushed the doors open and Carmela followed him inside the large, sunny room that smelled like breakfast.
