The next morning, after an hour of persuading Chanyeol that we should indeed get off of the couch and start the day, I walked out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth and met Kris leaning on the door frame.

“We need to talk.”

“I have nothing to say to you,” I said and walked passed him.

He grabbed my wrist. “Outside,” he said with a firm tone.

I stared at him for a couple of seconds before nodding.

We walked outside to the back deck and sat down on the white chairs. I was wearing shorts so the hot surface burned me a little and I winced.

Kris noticed this and walked back inside. He came back with a towel.

“Here. Sit on this.”

“Thanks...” I mumbled and took it.

“I'm sorry about what I did yesterday. I shouldn't have come onto you like that.”

“Apology accepted. Doesn't mean that I'm going to-”

“However,” he cut me off. “I sure as hell don't regret it.”

I gave him a look.

“And I can't promise you that it won't happen again.”

“If it does, I'll kick your .” I told him and crossed my arms.

He chuckled. “That's not going to happen because I'm going to make sure that when I do kiss you again, you're going to be willing.”

I blinked a couple times and leaned back in the chair.

“You're confident, aren't you?” I asked him.

He smirked. “Very confident.”

Luhan popped his head out from the sliding door. “Kris, we need your tall to grab something from the cupboards.”

“Alright,” he replied and stood up.

I stared at the ground and scoffed. “Thinks he can break down my barriers. We'll see Kris...” I whispered to myself.

The weather was really nice so I sat on the porch and enjoyed the afternoon breeze until Suho walked out.

“Yoonji,” he said. “Chanyeol's calling you.”

I stood up. “Where is he?”

“I don't know. Somewhere upstairs.”

“Oh great. What did he get himself into again?”

Suho just laughed and shrugged.

I walked upstairs and yelled, “Channie!”

“In here!” I heard his deep voice call back.

I walked into one of the random bedrooms and gasped.

“Chanyeol! What are you doing?!” I screamed and ran over to him.

Half of his body was dangling from the ceiling which had a large rectangle missing from it.

“I was exploring and found this! Come look! It's so cool!” he managed to pull his whole body up into the secret room. He looked down with a large grin and held out a hand.

“Come on beautiful! Before I change my mind!”

I laughed and grabbed his hand. He pulled me up with ease and I looked around the small attic.

It was small and had lots of plants. Although, most of them were wilted except for one lucky one that was placed right by the small window so it got some sunlight.

Chanyeol pouted as he touched one of the plants and it broke.

“They're all dead. Should I call Lay to heal them? Ba dum tss!” he laughed at his own joke and continued to roam around.

I chuckled at him and looked around too.

“Whoever lived here before must've really loved plants,” I said and grabbed the lone survivor.

Chanyeol wrapped an arm around my waist and smiled.

“This should be our plant. What should we name it? Chanji? Yeolyoon?”

I pursed my lips. “How about Gus?”

Chanyeol busted out laughing. “Gus?! Where did that come from?!”

I shrugged. “I don't know. I think it's cute.”

“Okay, whatever you say babe.”

I grinned. “Gus it is.”

I set the plant on the rug on the ground and sat down.

“Should we water it? What am I saying? Of course we should,” I said.

“Stay here. I'll be right back.”

Chanyeol jumped down from the rectangle ceiling door and landed with a thud.

“Ow...” I heard him mutter under his breath and I giggled quietly.

How did I fall in love with such a dork?

Suddenly a water bottle flew up and hit me on the forehead.

“Ah!” I rubbed my head.

Chanyeol's big eyes popped up and he gasped.

He quickly came up and grabbed my face.

“Oh my God! Did I hit you?! I'm sorry. I'm sorry!” he apologized with a frantic look.

I smiled. “It's okay. It was an accident.”

He placed kisses all around my face and I laughed uncontrollably.

“I'm okay Chanyeol!”

“Good...” his voice suddenly got deep and husky and I stopped laughing. He kissed me on the lips and I pulled away.

“I think the plant needs it's water now.”

“It's waited forever. It can wait a little more,” he said and grabbed my chin to kiss me again.

I gave in this time.

“Guys....” a voice said from the door.

No response.

“Guys....”

No response.

“Guys, guys, guys....”

No response.

“YAH!!!!”

Chanyeol and I jumped and he scrambled off of me. I wiped my bottom lip and blushed.

“Baekhyun-ah...”

“It's about time! Jesus christ. We made lunch. It's downstairs.”

“Okay,” Chanyeol said.

Baekhyun continued to stare at us from the little door.

“You can leave now hyung...”

“No. I'm not leaving without you guys,” he said.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because if I leave you two to continue what you were doing, we're going to have little Chanyeol's running around and I can't let that happen. Just one is hard to control.”

“Hyung~” Chanyeol whined.

“Lunch...now.”

I laughed and took Chanyeol's hand. “Come on. I'm hungry.”

Baekhyun jumped down from the chair he was using and helped Chanyeol and I down.

“Seriously you two...” Baekhyun muttered under his breath and walked ahead of us.

Chanyeol and I looked at each other with small grins as he took my hand.

We went into the kitchen and I sat down in one of the empty stools since the table was already filled.

“I'll get some drinks,” Chanyeol said and walked away.

A cup of water was placed next to me.

“Wow, that was fast. How did you-” I looked up and met eyes with Kris.

He grinned and walked away.

Chanyeol came back with two cups of water and he stared at the cup next to me with a pout.

I avoided eye contact and started munching on a sandwich.

He set both cups on the counter and sat in the stool next to me.

“Kyungsoo makes the best sandwiches,” Chanyeol said and took a bite.

I nodded. “Mmm, these are yummy! Thanks Kyungsoo!”

“Actually, Kris hyung made these...” Kyungsoo said.

Chanyeol started coughing. “On second thought, the lettuce is a little limp and the bread isn't toasted enough...”

Kris glared at him.

“Don't listen to him, duizhang. The sandwich is good!” Tao said.

“I don't see you contributing around here Chanyeol,” Kris said.

Chanyeol set down the sandwich and looked over at him. “I am contributing. Who else puts a new toilet paper roll in when it runs out? Me.”

I couldn't hold in my laughter and started choking on my food.

“Baby!” Chanyeol yelled and started patting my back.

“Water...”

Another hand gave me the water. I looked up and Kris was beside me with the cup of water he had gotten for me.

I took it without hesitation for my throat was starting to hurt.

I took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

“I'm okay! I'm okay...” I said and held a hand up.

It was quiet in the room so I looked over at the table and everyone was staring at us with wide eyes. I looked at Chanyeol who was glaring at Kris, who was glaring at Chanyeol.

I looked at them back and forth with a pained expression.

“Oh, the tension,” Lay blurted and popped a chip in his mouth. (LOL get it?)

When it was nighttime, I took a shower and walked out with wet hair. Chanyeol spotted me and started drying my hair with a towel.

“Oh!” he suddenly said.

“What?”

“Gus!”

My eyes widened. We still hadn't watered it yet.

“Let's go!” Chanyeol took my hand and we entered the room with the attic door.

Chanyeol helped me up before climbing inside.

“Being tall really has its perks,” he said.

I uncapped the water bottle he had thrown up earlier and watered it.

“Aigo, our Gus is so cute...” Chanyeol whispered and pet it's leaf.

I smiled at him. “I can't even imagine how you would be like as a father.”

“I would be an awesome dad!”

“Yeah, I can believe it.”

I set the plant down by the window and leaned back on the small table.

Chanyeol walked up to me and put a strand of hair behind my ear. He had to slouch a bit since he was so tall. The moonlight was the only source of light so it gave a very romantic atmosphere.

“It's amazing...” he whispered, nose touching my cheek.

“What is?” I asked as I closed my eyes.

“Your ability to make me feel like this.” He put his hands on my hips and used his thumbs to gently rub the exposed skin above the waistband of my shorts. I shivered a little at the touch.

“Enlighten me.”

“I can't. I can't put it into words. You're just so...” he kissed me on the lips and I hummed in satisfaction.

He pressed his body to mine and I buried my fingers in his hair.

Chanyeol kissed me with such passion that it caught me off guard.

“Ch-Chanyeol...” I breathed.

He pulled away and looked at me with clouded eyes.

At that moment, he looked absolutely irresistible. It was hard to believe the dorky Chanyeol and this Chanyeol were the same person. His hair was messy, lips parted and red and his breathing was heavy.

A low growl escaped my throat and I jumped to wrap my legs around his waist. I closed the gap between us as he set me down on the table so hard that the plant fell over.

“Sorry Gus...” he muttered and set it upright again.

My hands roamed his torso, touching every inch of him as his hands disappeared under my shirt to feel up my back. Our tongues fought for dominance, neither of us wanting to lose.

He suddenly pulled away, his lips. “I swear to God if Baekhyun hyung interrupts us again, I will-”

“Well, I'm no Baekhyun but I hope I work too,” a voice said.

We looked over and a dagger flew right in between our faces, causing Chanyeol to scramble backwards and almost hit his head on the low ceiling.

That's when I realized that the normal loud voices of the boys were gone and the house was dead silent.

“Yoonji,” Chanyeol said, voice a little shaky.

“Oh ...” I whispered.
