3rd person's POV
It was finally time to sleep, and Min made sure to get on the couch first to not freeze in the cold, expecting Daehyun to take the cold floor. But she forgot one thing—it was Jeon Daehyun she was dealing with. So with the easy threat of telling Seojun about her secret, she did not have any choice but to sleep on the cold floor instead.
It's been half an hour, but she can't fall asleep. She felt the coldness, and her whole body is definitely freezing at this time. Even though winter break has ended, the weather is still cold. Having no warm blankets or anything to cover them didn't help at all.
'Could you stop with the fidgeting, Mochi? I'm trying to sleep here, and I could hear your non-stop breathing." He spoke with an annoyed and sleepy tone, his back facing her while he was on the couch.
Min didn't answer; instead, she just rolled her eyes at the nickname, but it's not important right now. She needs to warm up, but she doesn't know what to do, so she keeps blowing hot air on her hands and rubbing them against each other to keep herself warm from the cold.
Daehyun snapped because he could still hear her loud blowing, so he stood up and hurriedly carried her in bridal style.
"What the hell are you doing?! Put me down, you dumbass!" Min shouted, slapping Daehyun's chest in the process.
"Oh, trust me, I will put you down, honey ''. He said it with a teasing face, to which she returned an annoyed face as an answer.
Daehyun did put her down, but in his own style. Instead of just putting her down, he lay on the couch with his back and Min on his chest, practically caging the younger above his body.
"What the! Daehyun, let me go-hyftffjjlg. Daehyun just buried Min's face in his chest to stop her from talking anymore, and he wrapped her tightly in his arms, trying to sleep.
"Minyoung, just sleep, please." She shot her head up, bringing her arms to his chest to support her, and glared at him, who already had his eyes closed. She was laying on top of Daehyun, and she feels weird. It wasn't a very good position, and when she realised it, she started feeling the heat on her face.
She was about to go down from his hold, but the older man pulled her by the waist, making her voice hitch and her heart start beating fast.
"I said sleep, Minyoung." This time, Daehyun spoke with authority in his voice. Min decided to look away from embarrassment because she was starting to get hot.
"But... this is weird." She finally mumbled. She said it way too softly, but Daehyun managed to hear it.
"Fine!" He adjusted their position, now bringing her to the back part of the couch while he slept on the front side. She was just beside him, staring at him in surprise because he was still hugging her tightly.
"Quit staring; you'll create a hole in my face if you stare more now ''.
"I'm not staring!" Daehyun opened his eyes only to see her pouting.
"What now? Do you want me to sleep on the floor?" She thought about it, and no matter how badly she hates him, she can't still let him sleep on the floor.
"No, it's really cold there." Hearing her, he suddenly felt bad that he let her almost sleep there. He grabbed both of Min's hands as he blew warm air on them, repeating the process.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm making you warm, can't you see? Your hands are freezing, idiot." He flicked Min's forehead, earning a glare.
"Who's fault do you think it is?" Though he totally ignored her comment and brought her soft hands to his chest, pulling her closer to keep the latter warm, Daehyun's body was bigger than Minyoung's, so he had no problem keeping the shorter one covered and warm.
"Enjoy this while it lasts." You are getting what a million girls would die for." Min felt the warmth of Daehyun's body over him, and even though she didn't want to admit it, she felt comfortable.
"Yeah, and I'm ready to grant them their death wish because their taste in men is really rotten." She told him, and he knew that the 'rotten' comment was thrown at him, but he just scoffed.
"Why do I suddenly want to throw you out the window?"
.....................
The next morning, the two were still cuddled up on the couch, not sensing each other's presence. The sunlight from the window got inside the now-lit room. Min was wrapped in Daehyun's strong arms while her head rested on the taller man's chest.
They lasted in that position for minutes until the door of the classroom opened, revealing Eun, whose eyes widened when he saw the two on the couch. The door behind him closed, earning the sleepyheads' attention. Minyoung sleepily yawned and rubbed her eyes as Daehyun did. But when their eyes met, they scanned each other's bodies up and down.
Min screamed and immediately pushed Daehyun off the couch.
"Ow!" Daehyun's butt landed flat on the floor as he eyed Min with a glare.
"You daughter of-" but he stopped when he realised that she wasn't the only one who's in the room since Eun is there too silently grinning to himself. Daehyun composed himself. "Your mother!... Why did you push me, Mochi?
Daehyun hurt his bum. Daehyun continued looking like he was on the verge of crying as he tried to maintain his 'cute and innocent image' in front of Eun.
Min scoffed, and she was beyond disgusted with how he was acting. She wanted to suddenly strangle the older man and throw his body at the Bermuda Triangle. But of course, she wouldn't do that yet.
If Daehyun is fickle, then she could be one too. She won't just let him get away with his ways. She won't play his game, and he needs to learn that.
Though she doesn't want to use her last card, she had no choice. Currently, Daehyun is getting on her last nerve. So she did what she had to do: she breathed in and out and put her two cute hands in front of her now crossed legs on the couch, looking at Daehyun with apologetic eyes. She started showing her top-secret special ability—the power of her aegyo.
"Mianhe Hyunnie Hyung Minnie did not intend to push you; Minnie just got shocked, Aing!" Min said with her cute voice while pouting and her shoulders going up and down like a kid.
Daehyun was in disbelief, his mouth hanging open, just staring at Min on the couch. Eun was in shock too. He can't believe his eyes when he sees Minyoung doing that, although he admits that it was really cute.
Daehyun wants to punch her in reality, but of course he just smiles. He stood up from the floor with his pride and replied to Min's 'apology," if you could even call it that.
"No, no, don't worry, Mochi, it's fine... I'm not really hurt that badly; I'm just joking." Of course, I'm not okay, you b**ch! Just wait until Eun Hyung leaves, and I will deal with you.
As if she could read through his thoughts, she smirked, knowing that she was affecting him. In fact, she likes seeing the older person get pissed off, especially if she's the one who caused it.
"That's a relief, then. Minnie doesn't want to cause pain to people. Right Eun-hyung?" Min gave her dazzling but fake smile to Eun and then back to Daehyun, who was doing the same thing. They look like some idiots who are starting their own mental wars.
"O-Oh, of course," was all Eun could say at this moment. He doesn't even want to bother asking why the two were sleeping together and why the hell they were at school this early in the morning. He wasn't planning to, but then he realised something.
"Did you two possibly stay here the whole night?" Eun asked with wide eyes.
The two broke their gazes and silently cleared their throats. "Don't get the wrong idea, Hyung; we just fell asleep last night, and the moment we knew it, we were locked up." Daehyun explained and sighed.
"Y-Yeah." Min followed.
"Then why didn't you call anyone?"
"He said that Seojun-hyung got his bag, and then Byul noona sort of took my bag home too. I tried to call out for help, but no one's really out there." She pouted, this time with visible annoyance.
Eun moved his head up and down in understanding. But he's still confused about one thing. "Then why did you two end up sleeping together, cuddling? Don't tell me... " Eun wriggled his eyebrows teasingly, making both Minyoung and Daehyun make a puking face mentally.
"She was just cold, Hyung, I swear! She pleaded to sleep with me on the couch, so I gave her space, but I didn't know that she would be all over me, hugging me like a koala."
He clarified, but with a little bit of exaggeration.
If they were to go back to last night, it was more like Min was the one who was against the idea of sleeping together while Daehyun kept on bugging her to sleep with him on the couch. Not that he likes the idea either, but he had no choice! Her breathing was annoying the hell out of him, and he can't sleep because of that!
"Yah! I wasn't pleading! You're the one who told me:
"See hyung? She's not even admitting it. Maybe she's just embarrassed, but it's okay, Mochi, although what I only did was help you." Daehyun began to sniff, taking pity on Eun.
Now Eun too accepted that he was telling the truth and that she was just really shy to admit that she did plead to sleep with him.
"Aigoo, don't feel bad, Daehyun. Yah Minnie, say sorry to him. Daehyun kept you warm, you know?" Eun shook his head while comforting his dear Daehyun, patting the younger's back.
She couldn't believe her eyes. She finally gave up. She can't win against him.
After all, you can't win against a cheater. Min told herself before she stomped angrily out of the door, leaving the two.
