58 HICKEYS (1/2)

Breakfast was a mess. Minho and Ethan were in a staring contest, and I wasn't a part of it. I'm quite jealous that Minho has his eyes on Ethan.

I placed steaming pancakes in front of them but no, they kept on staring.

But who am I kidding. This isn't funny at all. They're in an intense battle. My god like what are they fighting, me? Yeah maybe. Whew.

And I only thought of one way to break their connection. I sat on Minho's lap.

And yes his head swerved to mine.

I smirked, ”You done flirting with my bestie?”

He rolled his eyes. Then he looked back at Ethan, who apparently, is now devouring the pancakes like there's no tomorrow.

”Ethan, who is Cassidy to you?”

He replied with a mouth full of food, ”What she said.”

Minho studied me for awhile, and then sighed.

”Okay, you won't get to sleep here again.”

”Chill dude. We have been doing this for ages.”

I stiffened. God Ethan why?

I looked at Minho and laughed awkwardly. ”Ah eh, I just see him like a brother. So there's no harm. And he always sleeps on the couch.I trust him to not do anything to me. And besides she was loyal to her girlfriend.”

Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie.

How many times do I have to lie to him? I am so guilty right now. I hope Minho cannot read it in my face.

”Even then, he is not allowed to step in here anymore, except when I'm around.”

”But where am I gonna sleep?” Ethan said, the ever-lasting bitch he is.

”Why? Are you homeless?”

”Here, yes! I have been staying in Japan for a time.”

”Then go to a hotel, or an inn. You don't have to be here.”

I can feel Minho's anger. But I cannot say what he's doing is wrong. He has all the right to get jealous. More so that Ethan wants to stay here in my apartment. He is my boyfriend after all.

I squeezed his hand and smiled at him. ”I'll just stay in yours. I'll go get my clothes and you can bring it home. Let him live here.”

Minho squeezed back. ”Okay. I'll go fetch you after class.”

”Yeah. And we can go together in Layla's wake.”

Ethan dragged his chair, making a of sound. ”You done getting lovey-dovey? I am out of here. And Cassidy, give me your keys.”

I sighed. ”Its on top of the refrigerator. And while you're here, please stock up on my supplies.”

”Of course, my lady.” He winked at me and went out.

”Is he always like that?”

”No. He's caring when he's not having a problem, and funny. I don't know what's gotten into him.”

Minho just shrugged. ”Anyway Cassidy, I believe we have some unfinished business.”

”Huh? We do? What is it?”

Minho's lips curled upwards.

”Minho-”

Before I could voice out my thoughts, I was silenced by his lips.

”Hmmmm...”

When he stopped, he said, ”I missed you so much. I can't bear not seeing you even just for a day.”

And he touched his forehead to mine.

”Cassidy,” his voice barely a whisper, ”I love you.”

I can't contain it anymore, I kissed him.

I didn't know how, but I just found myself being pushed down to the bed, Minho still kissing on top of me.
