“Why were you in the spare room?” Jisoo eyed Jeonghan suspiciously as he watched the man wander out shirtless and fluffy haired from the wrong end of the apartment. “Why are you here so early?” Jeonghan countered his remark with his own snap and headed over to the coffee machine. “Since when do you make your own coffee?” Jisoo laughed and handed Jeonghan a huge steaming mug of sweet latte and Jeonghan took it before busying himself at the machine. “Cheollie will want coffee and he can’t work the machine.”

Jisoo stared at him in unabashed and unconcealed shock while the white haired man hummed obliviously to himself and made a tall mug of the same drink he enjoyed. “Why are you staring at me like that?” he said when he turned around and Jisoo frowned. “You didn’t answer my question. Why weren’t you in your room? And since when do you do anything for anyone?”

Jeonghan just shrugged. “Cheollie stayed over last night, and I had a bad dream, and it is his job to protect me. Even if what scares me isn’t always real.” Jeonghan stirred a big dash of hazelnut syrup into the mug and smelled it before smiling. “So I went into his bed. It’s no big deal.” Jeonghan looked up to see Seungcheol standing in the doorway and he wandered over to hand him the mug of coffee. “Anyway Jisoo, you and I share a bed all the time, and it’s not a big deal then is it?”

Jeonghan stood in the middle and watched them both for their reactions. Jisoo tried to act nonchalant at the arrival of Seungcheol into the room. Seungcheol just looked like he needed another hour’s sleep. “Thank you Jeonghan.” He smiled as he sipped the sweet drink. It was just what he needed.

“What’s the schedule today Jisoo?” Jeonghan asked as he waited for Jisoo to make him toast. He watched Jisoo busy himself with bread and some soft cream cheese while Seungcheol joined him at the bench in the middle of the enormous kitchen.  He bent down to pick up Chan Chan and was just about to put him down on the bench in front of him but he saw Seungcheol side eyeing him and laughed. He cuddled the kitten and put him back down on the floor and was rewarded with a small smile from the bodyguard. He smiled back right as Jisoo turned towards him with the plate and their shared smile didn’t go unnoticed by the manager.

“You’re meeting with your producer before lunch. After lunch is free.” “Okay, after lunch I want to go to the dance studio again, Soonyoung is busy but I have enough of the choreography to work it on my own.” Jeonghan took a huge bite of the thick toast and when he heard Seungcheol’s stomach rumble he wordlessly handed the man next to him the other slice on the plate. “Thanks.” Seungcheol said as he ate a bite and didn’t miss Jisoo’s rolled eyes.
