"May I ask, are you too partners?"
They exchanged looks. Then they looked back at the lady.
"No" "yes," they said at the same time. They looked at each other again.
"What do you mean by yes??" Xiao looked at the lady and said, "We are just close friends."
"Very close~" said Ethan proudly, smirking while closing his eyes.
The lady didn't know if they were lovers or just friends. Looked at them as the tall person was hugging Yeonghon from his back. And Yeonghon was struggling to break free.
"Well, you guys are free to go for the night. Have a nice night." Said the receptionist, so they could be dismissed.
…
Xiao yawed silently. Little tears started forming in his eyes from the yawn, so he rubbed them away.
"Rise and shine, my sunshine." Said Ethan, looking at Xiao through the mirror.
Xiao Looked around, he was in Ethan's JEEP. Ethan was driving in the pilot seat and Xiao was in the back seat. The car reeked of alcohol. There was some cardboard of beer on the floor, there was plastic too.
"Hey, can I open the window?"
"Sure, sorry if the car stinks because of the alcohol." Said nervously, He opened the window by half.
Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The cold wind refreshed Xiao's mind.
It was still nighttime. There weren't any visible cars on the road.
"Are we there yet?" Xiao asked, he reclined his back forward, in the direction of Ethan. Xiao was so tired that he felt like 2 people were laying on top of him. Now, thinking of that, he would like to have someone laying on top of him so that he would get a deep sleep.
"Almost there!" Said Ethan enthusiastic.
Xiao sighed and rested his chin on the armrest in front of him.
"Get some rest, we will be there in no time" Ethan stroked Xiao's head and accommodated the small strand of hair that was on his face, he pushed them in place.
This made Xiao sleepier, so he seated properly and snuggled on the seat. Closing his eyes and he crossed his arms.
Then everything went black.
…
"Ugh." groaned Xiao.
"Sorry, did I wake up?"
Xiao slowly opened his eyes, to find himself on a bed beside Ethan.
"I am hungry." Xiao sat up and scratched his head.
"No no, I will go." Ethan got out of bed and put on his slippers. And grabbed his phone, so he would not turn on the light. Of the kitchen.
"Wait for me, I will be back in a second" He put Xiao back to bed, placing the blanket on top of Xiao.
Ethan got out of the darkroom and went to the kitchen.
…
CRASH!
Xiao jumped out of the bed to check what was the cause of the loud noise. He turned on the little one in the bedroom. There wasn't anything that was broken.
Ethan…ETHAN
He slammed the door open when seeing in front of him, he saw a ton of beer cans on the floor. He walked 3 more steps. The dark room was full of the smell of alcohol and cigars. Xiao covered his nose and opened all the windows. The smell was so intense that it made Xiao dizzy and nauseous. He ran to close the bedroom and proceed to go to the kitchen.
There he was standing, confused. Ethan was on top of a chair. He had an expression of fear.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a cockroach!"
He stared at Ethan. He is a big guy, buff, and a 24-year-old dude, but his weakness is cockroaches.
"Ugh, I am not wearing slippers. Give me-"
"But I just bought these!" Whined Ethan.
Xiao looked at the floor, annoyed, and scratched his head. He rubbed his eyes. He asked Ethan to turn the lights on, he went faster than the light. Xiao blinked to accommodate his vision.
"THERE IS IT" Ethan screamed as if he wanted to kill it with his voice.
"You know what? Fuck this shit!" Xiao walked to grab a piece of paper and snatched the cockroach from the floor and threw the cockroach through the window. Finally, peace. Xiao looked at Ethan. Ethan looked like his soul left his body. Xiao cracked laughing, from the bizarre situation.
"It's not funny." Ethan was embarrassed to be scared of a cockroach.
Ethan looked at Xiao as he was twisting on the floor. He got down from the chair and took a deep breath. Xiao then stopped laughing and stood on top of the floor.
"Cockroach!" Said Ethan and pointed to the floor beside Xiao.
"AAH!" Jumped Xiao from the floor to the chair that was next to Ethan.
… Wait! Where is the cockroach??…
Ethan Busted laughing. But Xiao was confused on the floor.
"HAHAHA, you should have seen your face!"
"Ugh…" Xiao Whined from embarrassment, he could only feel how his ears started to heat up.
"AAH A COCKROACH!" Ethan got back to stand on top of a chair again.
"Haha, very funny" Xiao didn't believe him at all. He won't believe it again.
Suddenly he felt something on his leg. He looked at his right leg. And-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!-" Xiao ran to the window and grabbed the big cockroach and threw it out of the window.
… Xiao stood there like his blood was sucked off his body.
"Pfft," Ethan covered his mouth so that his laugh wouldn't come out and looked at Xiao. Xiao was still standing there, emotionless.
"Ugh, why are there so many cockroaches?" mumbled Xiao and looked at the floor. Xiao's eyes looked like they didn't have a soul.
"It's nice to have you back." Said Ethan, looking at Xiao And smiling. Xiao exchanged a smile too and said,
"It's indeed nice to be back." He was still disgusted by the situation that just had occurred. So he had a crooked smile…
"I am going to take a bath." Xiao just noticed that he had a big white t-shirt that had something written on it, and said " I am too sexy for my shirt". He was speechless. It was a bold and black sentence. It looked like it was made to inform any person in the area. Under that t-shirt, he is only wearing some big black shorts. The clothing came from Ethan's closet.
… Xiao finished taking a bath and went to sleep with Ethan.
