World 5.8

"This is not what I wanted!!!"

Jin Hyuk brushed his face with dismay. His plan was to taught the boys well, but he didn't really think they would be such a riot. Just like the other day, he mentioned to Taehwun that his other pair of slippers is missing. The male helped him find it, but after giving him a sticker; Taehwun almost asked Jin Hyuk a list of his missing things because he wanted to find it all.

"Man! Is he that desperate for an ice cream?"

Then not just that, Every morning when he wakes up, almost everything is ready for him to use, Min Jun also prepares his clothes and towels after taking a bath. 

And when he goes to the kitchen, his breakfast is almost ready. Cheol-min never forgets it.

"He's cooking the same omelette everyday"

Meanwhile, his room has almost become a garden with Jiyeon giving flowers every day. The man also always invites him on a date which he quickly declines. Then in the evening, Jiyeon always brings wine to his room and invites him to drink, it's more romantic according to the man.

"He'll never buy my love for that"

While Jin Hyuk was surging himself into his deep thoughts, there was a sudden knock on his door.  "What is it?" he asked, enough for his voice to reach the person behind the door.

"Good morning,manager!!" Min Jun made the biggest smile. He was carrying a tray with food as he entered the room.

Jin Hyuk immediately smelled the fragrant scent from Min Jun's tray. The male placed it on the table beside his bed "I know you're tired so I brought you breakfast" then he walked towards the window and parted the curtains, opening the glass window.

"Min Jun, you don't need to do this, I'm not sick or something" Jin Hyuk commented but deep inside he found it cute.

He was going to ask the male about the food when he noticed the death glares peeking beside his door, their auras are dark, striking Min Jun back.

"Don't mind them,manager" Min Jun dashed back to him "Now take your time to eat what I prepared" he said

"Arghhh!!!!!"

A forceful grasp took the tray away from Min Jun's hands when he was going to open the lid. Cheol-min quickly dashed towards him "You moron! I should be the one preparing his breakfast!" he sneered

Min Jun smirked back at him "Heh?" He pulled the tray back "Your omelettes are boring, Cheol-min" he snorted "Manager wants something new to his taste so I cooked something delicious for him" he added

Jin Hyuk smiled nervously, it was like he was witnessing a fight between the cat and a wolf. 

Before he could separate the two.

Jiyeon who was behind Taehwun all the time walked into the middle, clicking his tongue continuously. 

"Is that the only thing you can do for our dear manager?" He asked

The two stopped glaring at each other and looked at him "What do you mean?" They asked in unison

Jiyeon then cupped Jin Hyuk's cheeks "I mean, our manager is not that simple minded" then he made a peck on the male's forehead before backing away

He glanced at the two "Things like that are so simple, anyone can cook if he wants to...manager can also cook his own food so what's the deal in arguing about it?" He asked

Then Jiyeon tapped Min Jun and Cheol-min's shoulders "The big deal is…" he leaned closer between the two "Can you make him happy?" He uttered

It made the two jolted with their eyes wide open. "You're right!!" Min Jun exclaimed

Cheol-min scratched the back of his head and whispered "I-I agree.." his face blushed from embarrassment.

Jiyeon walked outside as Taehwun followed him quietly.

{It's surprising from Jiyeon}

AUTHOR: Everyone have different perspectives

{It's unexpected, the two understand him very well}

The day goes by normally. Since it was Saturday, the boys only practiced halfday. 

When they're going home, the boys insisted that they wanted to play basketball so Jin Hyuk gave them permission to enjoy their free time.

Jin Hyuk went to the nearest convenience store to buy some drinks and snacks. Taehwun accompanied him.

While they're walking, he noticed how frail and soft the male was. So he asked a question.

"Taehwun?"

The male carrying the bag with water bottles flinched in surprise "Y-Yes manager?!" He exclaimed

Jin Hyuk paused then he chuckled "Why are you always blushing like that when I'm talking to you? We've almost known each other for a month" he commented

The male lowered his head "M-Manager, I-Im not good at socializing, s-sorry" he replied

It didn't stop Jin Hyuk from startling "Ehhh?!!" He blurted "But you are so good at dancing, you are carrying the music's rhythm perfectly" he commented "Are you still uncomfortable with the others?"

Taehwun glanced at Jin Hyuk "No manager, they are all good to me!" He exclaimed in panic 

The male smiled back at him "I see…" 

Then another question escaped Jin Hyuk's lips "Taehwun, what is your reason for joining them?" He asked

Taehwun showed up with a pure smile then his face brushed red lightly "Min Jun.." he answered

{Opps! I don't want to cross a line}

AUTHOR: You are so nosy

{That's why I will not ask again}

The two continue walking, letting the silence fall into them.Until they reach the court back.

Cheol-min and Jiyeon are busy arguing over who has the farthest ball shot, Min Jun are trying to calm them down. But when he saw the two arrived, he quickly dashed towards them.

Taehwun quickly picked up one bottled water then he handed it to Min Jun "Thanks" the male replied

He took all the water in one gulp then he wiped the extra water beside his lips. 

Taehwun handed Min Jun his face towel "H-Here" he said while the male smiled back at him

{Wait a minute, What is this?}

AUTHOR: You are being nosy again

{ I'm not! I just want to have some small details}

AUTHOR: Then why are you pouting?!

Jin Hyuk was going to interrupt their sweet moment when he noticed that Min Jun became more pale than his true complexion. He was sweating real hard, his breaths are deep and heavy.

"Min Jun!"

The male jolted "Yes! Manager?!" He replied, still wearing his big smile even though he look like so worn out

Jin Hyuk stayed silent for a second "Are you okay?" He scanned the male from head to toe

Min Jun tilted his head "Hmm...I'm tired but I'm okay, Why did you ask, manager?" He asked back

Jin Hyuk shakes his head "Nothing" he quickly replied

Min Jun went back in the middle of the court to call the two who were still arguing about their shots. They all drank and ate their snacks then after a minute of resting their muscles, they played again.

Jin Hyuk watched them from the empty bench. They're like kids enjoying their sweats under the sunset. He felt something inside his stomach the moment he saw how big their smiles were. It was flattering his heart with rapid beats.

{It's so good to have friends}

AUTHOR: Are you a loner or something?

{ I'm not sure, All I know is I'd never experience the feelings they have right now}

A languid smile slowly stretches his lips. He called the boys when the sun already touched the horizon. 

On their way home, the private vehicle was very quiet. Everybody was sleeping and snoring except for Min Jun, who was coughing the moment they ended their play.

Jin Hyuk couldn't stop himself from worrying so he quietly sat in the seat next to Min Jun.

"Are you okay?" He asked "You look so exhausted, Is the air conditioned too cold?" He asked

Min Jun lowered his head "No manager, I'm fine" he replied turning his gaze to the window

Jin Hyuk then noticed something. Min Jun is a straightforward person, he will always look you straight in the eyes when he is talking and this time he averted his gaze.

{Something's not right here}

Jin Hyuk tapped his shoulders "Min Jun, Are you really oka---"

The male didn't let him finish "Manager, Would you mind giving me space?" He asked "I know I'm cute" putting his palm on his cheeks "But I'm too shy to show my sleeping face" he snorted

Jin Hyuk once more saw Min Jun's brightest smile "O-Okay, take a rest" then he stood up and headed back to his seat

{Damn! Maybe I am just over acting about small things}

They arrived home late and everybody was yawning, craving for deep sleep.

Jiyeon

Cheol-min

He became suspicious when he noticed that two of them are still not heading back from the service vehicle. 

From the door, Jin Hyuk once again went outside to check the two.

"Where are they? Is Min Jun still slee---" he was stunned when he saw Taehwun dashing towards him, his face were pale from shock so Jin Hyuk became nervous because it was the first time for him to saw Taehwun's emotions being like that.

The male seized his shoulders "Manager!!" Taehwun cried "Min Jun needs the hospital!!"
