You awoke from your deep slumber amidst the comfort of soft, warm blankets and plush pillows. Squinting your eyes as you peeked through the comforter, you realized you were no longer in the living room. That was strange. You distinctly remembered falling asleep on the couch after returning to the dorm from your date with your boyfriend, Ren.

It wasn't much of an extravagant date actually. He was an idol and you understood that his fame came with a price. So, the two of you went for a walk in a nearby park, one which the general public is unaware of since it was quite small. It didn't matter to you two. It was quiet. It was tranquil. And it was simply perfect. At one point, you two laid upon the grass that was now covered with crunchy leaves due to the blistering cold weather and gazed at vast clouds while he gently your hair. This was just what the two of you needed. For Ren, it was a break from his stressful schedules and screaming fans and for you, it was finally being able to be in his arms again after spending long hours at school and work.

Although your schedule drained you of your energy by the end of the day, you always put on a happy expression whenever Ren would sometimes greet you after work. He, however, was no idiot. After noticing your bloodshot eyes and lack of attention, Ren finally had enough and he urged you to reduce your work hours. As much as you respected his opinion, you couldn't bring yourself to do it. This was partially the main reason why you came back home early after your date. You were too tired from your shift at the office to continue walking with him through the park. This guilt began eating you from the inside. The guilt of destroying Ren's time off from his busy schedules. He could have been off anywhere else in the city, but he choose to spend time with you. You couldn't help but feel . . . liable.

You rolled off the bed and entered the hallway towards the kitchen. While sleepily sauntering through the hall, you inhaled a pungent aroma of spices and herbs.  Beside a clutter of small pans, you saw your boyfriend standing over a hot pot of what seemed to be Kimchi jjigae, his favorite dish. He would finish a bowl full within seconds like a famished cheetah. It sometimes astonished you considering his petite structure as compared to the other members. While he continued stirring the contents within the pot, you slowly tip toed behind him and wrapped your arms around his waist.

"Why hello there, sleep head," he whispered without having to turn back. He grasped one of your hands, brought it to his soft lips and placed a chaste kiss upon it. You giggled at the tingling sensation and nuzzled your face into his back.

"How long was I asleep?" you asked.

"A while," he stated with a smirk on his face, "I don't think you will be able to go home today." You immediately loosened your grip on his waist and gazed up at him in confusion.

"Wae?"

"Look outside."

No way! It couldn't be! You hastily skipped over to the nearby glass windows and pulled back the drapes to see more than a foot of snow piled up on the streets before the complex. To add to your sudden misfortune, the sudden snowfall was also accompanied by severe gusts and pelting hail.

"I thought they said the storm wasn't supposed to come till late evening."

Ren shook his head and gestured towards the clock which read . . . 8:00 P.M?? Holy crap!! You slept for four hours?

"I seriously slept for that long?" you asked gawking at the clock.

Ren chuckled and made his way towards you. "I told you that you should have reduced the amount of work hours." You hung your head.

"Mianhe," you replied with a pout, "It's my fault we came back early and I ended up sleeping in the time we could have spent -" You were cut off as his arms instantly wrapped around your waist pulling you closer towards him.

"You silly girl," he mumbled your hair, "You being here is good enough for me."

"Nah otteoke?" you whined. "I need to get home." Ren scoffed.

"Are you crazy? There is no way I am going to let you walk out there!"

"Then what am I supposed to do?"

"You . . c-could stay over if you want," he stammered nervously.

"But what about everyone else?"

"The members aren't going to be here tonight."

You gulped. Did that mean you were going to be alone with him? Your fingers began to tremble at the thought. It wasn't that you didn't want to stay with him. It was just that this was your first time staying over at a guy's place and you couldn't help but feel nervous.

"What’s wrong?" he asked, "Don't tell me you’re scared of sleeping over."

"Aniyo!" you scoffed. He chuckled and continued to rock you back and forth in his arms. The warmth of his embrace made you wish that you could remain in his arms forever.

"You let me sleep on your bed," you stated coyly.

"What makes you think I wouldn't?" Your eyes drifted to the gray tiles on the floor.

"JR oppa told me you don't like anyone on your bed."

"He did?" he asked raising his eyebrows, "I am going to burn his hair while he is asleep!" You chuckled and peeked up at him as he continued resting his chin on your head.

"Is it true?" you asked abruptly.

"What is?"

"Baekho oppa said that whenever you couldn't sleep, you would ask him for a hug."

"Mwah? That is not my fault! That guy can't fall asleep without latching himself to someone like a sticky leech!"

"Really?"

"AISH! What is it with them? What other stuff did those idiots tell you about me?"

"So it's true!"

"I never said that!"

"But you never denied it either!"

Ren sighed and then locked his eyes with your own. His gaze was so severe it felt as if lightening had struck you. He gently stepped closer, pushing you towards the wall and locking you within his arms.

“W-wae?” you asked gently as his lips curled into a small smile.

"Your right I didn't deny it,” he stated placing his forehead upon yours, “But why do I need him when I have you? And today . . . I finally have you all to myself."

                “YO REN WE’RE BACK!” a voice thundered through the room.

                Stunned, the two of you split apart from one another as the Nu’est members crashed into the living room.

                “Damn, it’s like crazy blizzard out there,” JR muttered throwing off his boots and walking into the apartment.

                “Omo, _______-ah!” Minhyun exclaimed, “When did you get here?”

                Ren greeted his hyungs with his infamous, cold stare. “The better question is what are you all doing here?”

                “Aigoo, it looks like we crashed the party,” Baekho teased, “You guys can carry on. Pretend we’re not here.”

                “Like that’s possible,” Ren muttered sarcastically while you giggled at his childishness.

                ‘Our schedules got cancelled last minute because of the weather,” Aron stated tossing his bag off to the side, “Sorry about this.”

                “Aniyo, kwenchena,” you replied.

                “I’m not sorry!” Minhyun exclaimed walking into the kitchen, “We should walk in on them more often! Look! Food!” Within seconds, he grabbed a pair of chopsticks and prepared to devour the Kimchi jjigae from the bubbling pot. Before he could do so, Ren swiftly grabbed the utensils from Minhyun’s hand and glared at him.

                “What do you think you are doing? This is for me and ______-ah.”

                Minhyun pouted.

                “Wae?” you asked walking towards them, “They all seem so hungry from working so hard. Why don’t we all eat together? I can make some dumplings for everyone.”

                The entire group, besides Ren, threw their hands up to the ceiling and cheered. Ren shrugged as you started heating up the saucepan. After finishing dinner, you all snuggled up by the couch to watch a movie. Ren was not impressed. You were all the way on the other side of the couch giggling with Minhyun as he whispered in your ear as the movie progressed.

                “Stupid, idiot Minhyun,” Ren thought folding his arms at his chest. It began getting late and your eyelids started to droop.

                “Are you tired?” Minhyun asked. You nodded. “You can sleep in my room.”

                “THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL SHE IS SLEEPING IN YOUR ROOM!” Ren exclaimed jumping from his seat. He grabbed your arms and lifted you bridal style.

                “Yah, what are you doing?” you exclaimed in shock.

                “Aigoo, look at our maknae being so romantic!” JR exclaimed as the other boys roared with laughter.

                “Aish! Can you two lovebirds get out of here?” Baekho whined.

                “Its not my fault you can’t get a girlfriend, hyung,” Ren said.

                “Ohhhh!!!!” the other boys teased.

                “I can so!” Beakho shot back.

                “Seriously, _______-ah. I have no idea why you chose Ren,” Minhyun stated, “I am clearly the better choice. I mean, Ren looks like those creepy porcelain dolls that are sitting on your shelf looking at you, waiting to kill you.”

                You threw your head back in laughter with the other boys. Beakho was already on the floor, clutching his stomach and dying with laughter as JR slid of the couch, chuckling and toppled on top of him. As your laughter slowed down to a gentle smile, you suddenly felt something soft press upon your lips. The room was silent for a second and then a series of hoots followed soon after. Ren slid his lips gently over yours and kissed you with such passion that you couldn’t help but feel as if you were in heaven.

                “Enough already!” Beakho cried out throwing a pillow at Ren’s feet, “Don’t rub it in!”

                Ren then gently broke the kiss and gazed lovingly at your crimson face. He then turned to return his cold, icy stare at his hyungs.

                “Be jealous! Be very jealous!” he cried before running off with you into his room.

                “Yah, you kids better not get too excited and break something in there!” JR shouted.

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED IT! HEHE
