"Oppa!" you screamed, frantically waving at the back of a tall man's head.

Changmin turned around as you ran towards him. "Oh, Heejin! How did you know it was me?"

"Layer up all you want; I'll still know my cousin when I see him." You gave him a hug and walked out the airport, lugging your suitcases along with you.

"Need some help?" he asked.

You looked up and smiled. "No, I got it."

"Too bad," he said as he effortlessly snatched the heaviest bag from your hands.

"Thanks," you laughed.

You were studying in America and returned to Korea for the holiday season. Your parents started getting their house remodeled three months ago but didn't expect it to take this long, so your older cousin offered his place to you. Living with an idol, despite being family, was definitely going to be interesting.

"So, what are your plans for today?" you asked as you left the parking lot.

"I need to meet Yunho hyung to discuss some stuff for our schedule, and after that I'm gonna meet some friends."

"Oh," you mumbled, trying not to sound to disappointed. It was reasonable for him to be busy. He's TVXQ's maknae after all. But you were hoping to at least spend your first day with him after not seeing each other for a while.

"Hey, don't 'Oh' me. Of course I'm taking you along."

"Oh!" you repeated, cheerfully this time. "So, who are we meeting? SHINee? EXO? Super Junior?" you teased.

Changmin laughed. "No, not those guys. I know people outside of SME, you know."

"Of course, there's also Big Bang and Infinite."

"Very funny. I missed you, kid."

A few minutes later, you reached his apartment. 

"Sorry I can't help you bring everything inside, I'm already running late," he called as he tossed you a set of spare keys. "You remember where everything is, right?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it. See you later!" you said.

You walked inside and observed all the rooms. Nothing seemed to change from when you were there last time so there was nothing worth exploring. You didn't feel like unpacking just yet, so you decided to leave your luggage in your room and take a walk around the city to refamiliarize yourself. You grabbed your coat and stepped outside.

After a while, the air started to get warm, which was unusual
