Six.

The Wallflower's love story.

" Naega neomu gomapjahna,Oh Baby

Naega neomu yeuppujahana, ohh

Nuneul ttel suga eobseo

Nae nuneun neoman boyeo

Neoman gyesok bara bogo sipjanha nan oh jeongmal, 

oh baby "

Athena stirred in her sleep. Thinking it was just her alarm, she reached over to turn her phone over. However, when she reached out for her phone, she couldn't find it. A surge of worry washed over, as always, when she didn't know where her phone was.  She rolled over to her other side to see if it was there, but to her dismay it was not. But then it hit her. The song was still going, and that song was not in english. 

*Since when was a korean song my alarm? What song is that? Baby baby?* Athena thought to herself, thinking it could be the notorious "Baby Baby" by 4Men that Namjoo loved so much.

*But why would that song be playing? And why does the voice sound different?* She yawned and stretched before finally opening her eyes.

*Am I still dreaming?* Athena tierdly and confused, blinked a few times, willing herself to actually wake up.

"This is not myapartment.." Athena whispered to herself as she looked around, 

The room was painted a navy blue, with dark colored hardwood floors. There was a simple creme colored desk against the wall, and a huge floor length mirror beside it. She looked down to see she was still in the dress she wore last night, and still very much wraped up in a creme down comforter and black sheets.

*Where am  I right now?*

Athena slowly got up from the bed and looked atherself in the mirror. Her hair was deshiveled and her eye makeup was smuged to no end and partially bled down her eyes, making her look like a panda. To the best of her ability, she wiped off the under eye makeup, and ran her fingers through her hair trying to make it lay ok, in her attemps to make herself look presentable, so whoever house she was currently in.

 She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself. This was not like her at all. Going on a "date" with Daehyun? Being his "Fake girlfriend", waking up in a strange place, these were all things she would never normally do. It was all so... uncertain. What if he was just using her for some personal gain? She doesn't really know Daehyun that well in the first place.  They've only had a few conversations. She knew he was Attractive and some very basic information and that was it. She took another calming breath, trying not to let herself overthink. That's when she realized whoever was singing, was still going, and that he sounded amazing. Taking a final deep breath, she made her way to the door and slowly opening it, trying to stay quiet.

She opened the door, seeing an identical on across the hall, and what looked like a bathroom to the imediate left. Athena took a right, into  a living room. She took a sharp intake of breath, seeing how amazing it looked. The walls were a light tan color, with a large black couch that matched well with the dark wood floors. The farther she walked from the room, the louder this extrodinary voice got, until finally she reached the kitchen.  

sensing that someone was behind him, Daehyun turned away from the stove to face his house guest.

"Goodmorning Athena," Daehyun said brightly, hopping if he acts normal enough that Athena herself might think this is normal, waking up in a strange home

"Oh- Goodmorning, Daehyun," Athena said back in a slightly confused manner,

"Breakfast is ready, " Daehyun said as he flipped the last pancake on a plate that was already adorned with eggs and has browns;

"Grab a plate and go sit at the table" He said, finnishing it with a smile. Still a bit unsure, Athena followed his directions, grabbing a plate and heading to the large table , right behind Daehyun.

The second Daehyuns bottom reached the chair he started to dig in to his food, not wanting to seem rude, Athena also started to eat. *Wow this is really good ! WHo knew he was such a good cook?* Athena thought to herself. After a few minutes of silence,  Athena had to break it. She had to know how she ended up here.

"D-Daehyun?" She asked timidly.

"Yeah?" Daehyun said still stuffing food in his face, but at a much slower rate then before.

"How, uhm. How did I get here? I dont really remember.." Athena said while looking down,  then slowly looking up to make eyecontact with him.

"I  was going to drop you off at your house, but you were sleeping so deeply I didn't want to wake you so I brought you here." Daehyun said back. Not knowing hoe to answer right away, Athena just nodded her head, in slight thought,

"Oh, okay then. Well Thank you then, for letting me stay here and for making me breakfast," Athena said while flashing him a sincere smile. Daehyun stopped chewing and stared at her *Wow, even in yesterday's makeup cheeks full of food she still looks goregous.*  Athena started to blush seeing daehyun stare at her like that. Sensing this, Daehyun cleared his throat and continued eating his food.

     After  few more minutes, the table was cleared and the dishes were done.

"A-Athena?" Daehyun called out,

"Yeah?"

"Are , you doing anything today?" Daehyun curiously asked,

"Uhm, I'm not actually, Today is my day off."

"Would it be ok if you stayed here? For today? Youngjae is at his parents house and then he has to help his brother with wedding stuff later.." Daehyun said, suddenly feeling he was souding stupid.

"uhm, Okay. I'll stay with you," Athena said, *I might as well get to know him better right? staying with him for a day wont be bad.*

~~~ 

Two hours later.

 

"HAHAHAHA ATHENA YOU DID THAT !? HAAAAAAAAA" Daehyun yelled/laugh/squealed, at the story Athena was telling him. For the last hour,  Athena and Daehyun have been exchanging stories and facts about themselves, in order to get to know each other better. After a few mintes all the laugher died down, and Athena couldn't help but think  that Daehyun had the most amazing laugh, and Daehyun couldn't think the same about Athena.

After another hour of sharing, Athena and Daehyun felt like they've known eachother for years. They found out alot about eachother, and found that thier personalities matched perfectly, and it was obvious that they were going to be great friends.

"Athena, do you want to get out of your dress? I have clothes you could wear," Athena inwardly blushed, but nodded .

She followed Daehyun back into his room and watched as he went to his dresser in his closet to grab a pair of sweats and a Tshirt he said was getting to small for him. He handed Athena the clothes and walked out of the room so that she could change. She ped her dres, watching it as it fell to the floor, in a cloth puddle that surrounded her ankles. From there she  slid Daehyun's sweats up her legs, then bent down to grab her dress. While she was bending , i hit her. *I'm topless in Daehyuns room* A bright blush passed over her cheeks as she shook her head to clear her thoughts. She continued to get dressed, putting on the tshirt that was left out for her.

After getting dressed, she walked out into the livingroom where Daehyun was waiting for her.

"Yo, Thea ! Let's watch this one!" Daehyun said excitedly as he held up a movie. Athena, or "Thea" as Daehyun now called her, agreed by nodding her head and sitting next to him on the couch.

"I'll go get blankets" Dae said as he walked to the hall closet, where they apparently kept the extra blankets. He came back with a large black colored one, and sat down next to Athena and spread the blanket over them both, he then reached for the remote to start the movie.

For the majority of the movie, Athena couldn't focus, how could she when the man she has had a crush on for the last year, is contently snuggling up in a blanket with her, on HIS couch, in HIS home ? 

Soon after the movie ended, they decided to watch another, then another, and another. 

Athena started to feel her eyelid droop in fatigue. Her head started to nodd off, until it was limply laying to the side, resting on her own shoulder and the back of the couch.

"Omg Thea isn't that so fun-" Daehyun started, but as he looked over, he saw that she was already asleep. He noticed that her neck looked uncomfortable, so he slowly and gently shifted her head, so that it rested on his shoulder. A smile ran across his face as he took a minute to throughly examine her.

He noiced the way she looked so relaxed, and how her hair fell infrot of her face, so her softly brushed it away. He noticed how cute her nose was, and how plump and soft looking her lips were. He let his eyes linger for a bit , until he turned his attention back to the movie, and continued watching it until he too started to doze off.

 

 

 

 

"HYUUUUNG WE BROUGHT ICE CREAAM!" Zelo yelled out as he and Youngjae  walked in through the front door.

"Hyung ! Where are y-" Zelo's sentance was cut short as his eyes rounded at the sight before him, When youngjae walked up behind him, even he too, was taken aback. Daehyun and Athena fell asleep on the couch together, and from their orginal postion, they somehow shifted in thier sleep, so that Athena was lying on top of Daehyun, her head on his chest, with his arms wraped securely around her. If they didn't know better, they would have thought they were already a couple.

Hearing all the noise, Daehyun started to drift back into consiousness. He felt a slight weight on his body, and felt himself hugging something warm and soft, tha smelled really good, but beyond all else, he felt extremely comfortable. He opened his eyes, that revealed Athena cutely sleeping on his chest, burrying her head into hmi more so. After the initial shock, He, without noticing it, started to smile.

"Hy-hyung?" He heard Zelo say, and that, that's what ripped him out of his dreamlike state. His eyes rounded and his heart beat increased tenfold.

"A-ANI , IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE" Daehyun said, cursing himself because his voice slightly cracked. Hearing the loudness, Athena's eyes fluttered open. SHe realized something was hugging her, and  was utterly shocked when she met eyes with Daehyun. *Dang, His confused face is hot. WAIT WHY AM I ONTOP OF HIM AND WHY IS HE HUGGING ME LIKE THIS* Athena imediately sat up, with wide eyes.

"Hyung, are you and noona dating now?" Zelo said, sounding absolutely shocked.

"Aniyo, Zelo-ah, I'm not dating your Hyung." Athena said, hopping her voice came out smooth, and not at all portraying the pure chaos that was going on in her mind.

"Neh, I'm not dating Athena-ah" Daehyun said, backing up your statement. Before Youngjae could open his mouth to say a smart remark, Athena's phone went off. She reached over to the coffee table to answer it, after seeing it was her bestfriend, Kevin calling her.

"H-Hello?" She answered

"Athena ! Aren't you home right now? It's past midnight." Kevin said confused,

"Ah I'm not home yet, why did you forget something ?" Athena asked, still feeling the immense tenstion in the room.

"Kim and I had a fight, and I don't want to go home," Kevin said , his voice slightly cracking, it was obvious he was starting to break down in the middle of the hallway infront of Athena's door.

"Oh my god, Kevin I'm on my way home right now, don't leave I'll be there soon," Athena said as she got up from the couch, and hung up.

"I'm really sorry but I have to leave," Athena said as she grabbed her purse that was sitting beside the couch on the floor, and walked past Zelo and Youngjae to get to her shoes.

"I'll give you a ride !" Daehyun said, also getting up from the couch.

"No, no, it's ok! I'll walk or take a bus or something,"  Athena said, slipping on the flats that she always keeps handy in her purse.

"You don't even know where you are right now." Daehyun pointed out,

"It's ok I'll figure it out, Thanks for letting me crash here and making me breakfast sorry for falling asleep on you and making the atmosphere awkward, ok bye I'll see you later !" Athena said quickly, all in one breathe as she raced out the door, eager to get away from the 3 men in that room.  

*Ugh that was so awkward!* Athena thought to herself as she walked out of the elevator, and the lobby, walking to the street.

*Hmm , no where's a bus stop...* She thought while looking around, finally she saw one and quickly ran over to the stop, right as the bus was comming. She hurriedly got on after seeing that it makes a stop a block away from her apartment.

*What a day..* Athena thought as she took her seat on the back of the bus, watching it pull away from the curb and back into traffic.
