A State of Confusion

Lost In Translation (OT9)

Bliss, you were feeling utter bliss. You didn’t remember ever feeling this comfortable, when the hell did your bed become a cloud? You didn’t care and you sure as hell weren’t moving for anyone. There was no possible reason for you to leave the complete and utter comfort you were feeling. You hadn’t been this comfortable in months, not since…well not since you left home. Suddenly your heavenly comfort was interrupted… something was trying to move you. ‘Hmph’ you groaned 'Go away, I’m sooo comfy’ The light shaking got more forceful but you figured if you didn’t yield it would go away. Then the poking started. 'WHAT?!’ You woke up with a start. You sleepily glared at the eyes that were shocked, amused and as usual, confused at your outburst.

 

Yixing was staring at you…how the hell did he get into your apartment? Did you not lock your door last night? Surely you locked your door…you couldn’t have been that stupid could you? But if you’d locked the door, how did he get in? Did he break in? No…surely not. You didn’t think Yixing was the kind to break into your apartment. Your thoughts were a mess so you shook your head and sat up a little, trying to wake yourself up so you could make sense of the situation.  

 

You remembered going out last night and having dinner with some of your new friends at this awesome new bar that had opened up a few blocks from here. After your meal you had some drinks at the bar and chatted. More drinks, karaoke. More drinks, dancing. More drinks, rain and pavement then… home? . Why didn’t you remember leaving the bar? You didn’t think you’d drank that much but now you could feel the after effects of too much booze. The dry taste in your mouth, the slight headache, the lack of memory. You groaned at your stupidity. No… no. You were like 80% certain that no matter how drunk you had gotten, you didn’t go home with Yixing. I mean sure, he’s attractive and sweet but he’s like my brother. Oh please, please don’t let me have ed this up. A hand waved in front of your face bringing you back to the present 'Hey sleepy head, did you hear me?’ You looked at him and shook your head. He smiled and said 'I asked what you were doing here’ Your confused look mustn’t have helped because his follow up was 'Y/N, have you even realised where you are?’  What kind of dumb question was that? You were in your apartment…what were you doing here? WHAT WAS HE DOING HERE!? You shook your head again, ignoring the headache that was intensifying as you became more alert.

 

You rubbed your eyes and you finally noticed the room you were in. Shiiiit. Not only was it not your bedroom, it wasn’t your apartment. All colour left your face but you just had to ask even though now, you were sure the answer was not going to be good 'Yixing, why am I in your dorm?’ It was his turn to look confused now. 'Don’t you know why you are here?’ You shook your head slowly and looked at the floor, embarrassed. Ok, so you didn’t sleep with Yixing, good. Still doesn’t explain what the you’re doing in his dorm though. 'No, all I remember is going out for dinner and drinks last night, then making my way home in the rain. I thought I went straight to bed…’ The sound of laughter made you look up at him 'What about this is funny?!’

 

Your mind was racing now…why would you have left your apartment to go to their dorm? 'Listen Y/N I actually have no idea how you even got in here but when we got up this morning you were on the couch. Freaked us out at first until you rolled over and we could see who it was. Jongdae went over to try and wake you but came back a few minutes later declaring you smelt like a bar and that you probably weren’t going to wake up any time soon. I volunteered to stay and keep an eye on you since I didn’t have any schedules this morning. I was also going to find out why you were on our couch… and here we are but it appears that you don’t even know why you’re here. Did you get drunk last night and forget?’ He was smirking at you now, teasing you. 'I was not drunk…just heavily tipsy. I honestly thought I went to my apartment. Jongin had given me a key so I could drop things off for him when he was injured and you guys were out on schedules so I must have used it to get in here. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude, I was just so tired that I must have zoned out and wandered up to your door instead of mine.’ You had made a fool of yourself. You’d gotten drunk and passed out on your neighbours’ couch. Neighbours who had been nothing but welcoming to you since you moved in. Neighbours who you still didn’t really know well enough (except for Yixing and Jongin) to pass out on their couch.

 

You stood up suddenly, startling Yixing who had been kneeling in front of the couch you had passed out on. 'Um, I’m just gonna go…can you apologise for me and explain my mistake? Don’t make me into a drunk mess though, I’m so embarrassed!’ Yixing smiled at you and pulled you into a warm embrace 'Don’t worry Y/N, let me walk you back to your place then I’ll explain what happened to the guys when they get back from schedules ok? You nodded, too embarrassed to speak. How could you have mixed up which apartment you lived in?! You were sure you hadn’t been THAT drunk.

 

As Yixing was walking you to the front door it suddenly opened, revealing  Minseok. He looked up, a bit startled but he recovered quickly and he continued through the door and stopped right in front of you. How can someone look so damn cute even when they are startled? Rude 'Hey Y/N, were you in trouble or something? Is that why you stayed here?’ He looked so concerned, his eyes full of worry. Stop looking at me like that, you thought. His eyes did things to you, and right now they were boring into your soul. 'No Minseok, I-I was so exhausted that I just went to the wrong apartment, stupid right?’ He patted you on the head and smiled at you 'At least you looked comfy. I hope you got the rest you needed.’ You smiled and thanked him for his concerns 'It was so comfy, so if it ever goes missing…don’t look in my place.’ He laughed and wandered off into the door leaving Yixing to finish escorting you home.

 

Yixing made a big deal of walking you through your apartment, pointing out all the things that made it different to their dorm. He was being a smartass now that he knew you were ok. 'And this couch is dark blue, and a lot smaller than the lovely white one in our dorm’ 'Shut up Yixing’ 'What? I’m just finding big features that even blurry eyes could distinguish so that - ow!’ He rubbed his shoulder dramatically 'I’m already embarrassed enough! and I feel like crap. Thank you for worrying and for helping me next door but as you can see, I’m now safely in my apartment. All I want to do now is shower then sink into a hole of self pity so can you please leave me to it?’ More laughter. 'Y/N we’ve all had one of those nights. Don’t beat yourself up too much about it. Next time, come drink with us!’ 'Ugh don’t even talk about drinking to me right now’ More laughter. 'Ok fine, but one more hug to commence your healing then I’ll take my leave’ He stood with his arms open. You smiled and embraced him. 'Thank you Yixing.’ He smiled, then he left you to start your one person pity party.

That was pretty intense. I like that Minseok asked about their limits and was considerate of everyone.

It was pretty hot and so long, I didn't think about the end coming as soon as it did. Hahaha.

As for who she should end up with, here's my two cents. It is very apparent throughout the whole story that she and Baekhyun have a thing. And after the previous chapter where he devoured her, it's clear that they care for each other more deeply than she cares for the other boys, Minseok included. She was so afraid of how Baek would react which is a clear sign that she wants something more with him.

I don't see her being with Minseok, even though she cares for him deeply as well. It might be because of their arrangement as buddies, but aside from that she has no emotional attachment aside from their friendship.

I would love to see her end up with Baek after her contract with them ends. And of course, maybe with the cheerleader costume? Hahaha

I cannot wait for the next update! Thank you so much for sticking with this fic. Here's to all readers patiently waiting for the conclusion to this story.

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Yes please, I will take a fan and refreshments. I was sure I wanted her to end up with Baekhyun, but I am suddenly undecided after this chapter. If it would be either man, I don’t think the other would be very happy, which could potentially cause deeper problems within the group. I don’t think the others are as invested and things pretty much stopped with the lessons and friendship. However, it’s more apparent that she has mutual feelings with both men - unless I am reading it wrong. I can’t wait to see how things progress after this night.

Thank you so much for updating, I’ve really missed this story. Hope you’ve been well and Happy New Uear.

Chapter 46: I think we will be the ones to die reading it!😉 This was such a hot chapter in itself. Baek, Teach, and simply a phone was hotness overload in itself. They have such a connection to each other that it’s crazy. It also speaks volumes of his trust in her that he has accepted her reward/punishment system with the others. Not to mention her friends with benefits relationship with Minseok, and now agreeing to be part of Xiumin’s reward. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
