Henry opened the door, revealing a somewhat clean apartment. He went in and Chaerin followed, with caution. Henry then started to undo the buttons of his polo then realized that Chaerin was there. He faced her and said "Why don't you freshen up?" he started "You can use my bathroom" he said and guided her there. "I'll put fresh clothes on the bed" he said, opening the bathroom door to let her in. He then opened a freshly bought pair of boxers and a new shirt and put it on the bed. He then took clothing of his own and a towel and went to the bathroom near his kitchen and freshened up there. He got out fully clothed; wife beater, shorts, wet hair and a towel in hand. He was rummaging through his fridge when
"Hi" she said. He looked and there she was, with her hair wrapped with a towel wearing a somewhat oversized shirt that is showing off her shoulder. "I uhm... uhm... hey" he managed to choke out then he saw her holding her clothes "Yeah uhm, laundry room is by the front door. You can uhm let them dry there" he said and she nodded. When she was a few steps away he said "Wow".

He managed to find side dishes, cold rice and a few vegetables to make a proper meal. He was chopping vegetables when "Do you need any help?" she asked, with her hands behind her.
"Nah, I got this." he said
"You sure? It's the least I can do for you letting me in here. How about I set up the table?" she asked, unwrapping the towel on her head "Hmm?" she added
"If you insist, the bowls are here" he said tapping a shelf beside him "the utensils are in the drawer beside you" he continued. She got the utensils first, and then tried to reach the bowls. She got to her goes but she just can't reach, Henry saw her struggle and decided to help her. He stepped behind her and reached the bowls, she looked up and then he looked down. Their eyes met for a moment, and they froze just like that for a while. Till they heard the door open and close "Henry-ah!" someone shouted and then "YAH!" he said, looking at them. Henry stepped back, way back; he cleared his throat and said "H..hyung"
"HENLI!!" another voice then said. Henry's eyes were suddenly huge, he looked at Chaerin who was a little stunned. When she appeared at the kitchen "Henli-ah! we bought Rove... OMO" she said. "Hi Unnie" Chaerin said.
"Hi Noona" Henry then said, grinning. Henry was eyeing his hyung and he was making weird movements with his head and Donghae dragged Dara away from the kitchen. Chaerin stepped closer to Henry and then said "We are so dead"
"Don't worry. Donghae hyung's got it all under control" Henry whispered
"Yeah, we're gonna go. We have things to do. Don't worry guys we didn't see anything" Donghae said, pulling Dara
"YAH! We don't have anything planned! YAH!" Dara said, protesting
"We have that thing baby, remember?"
"No! Let go of me Lee Donghae" she said
"I'll see you two around" Donghae said, scooping Dara up and exiting through the front door. The two then looked at each other then laughed. "I'll go and finish this" he said, and continued chopping and then finally cooked. She was watching him cook and she was smiling so hard. 

They finally have their meal, they were silent for the whole meal and when they were done, Henry then cleaned up the table and then washed the dishes. Chaerin went off to explore the apartment, she saw pictures of him and Donghae and then a piano and a bunch of movies. She sat down to look at the movies he got then he returned with a tub of ice cream "Dessert?" he said, putting the ice cream on the table and sitting on the floor. She then crawled to the other side and he handed her a spoon. "Sorry it didn't work out" he said, eating a spoonful of ice cream, Chaerin then ate a spoonful herself before replying "Are you kidding? that was the best garlic rice and stir fried vegetables I've ever had"
"You're just saying that"
"I mean it" she said
"Really?"
"Yup" she said, eating a spoonful and then pointing her spoon at him, spatting him with ice cream. She then laughed "I am so sorry" she said, kneeling and wiping the ice cream off his face with her thumb. He was shocked to see her do that, he touched the spot that she wiped and said "It's okay". They became a little relaxed after that, telling each other stories and asking some more personal questions"What's with you and Donghae oppa?" she then asked
"He's like a brother from another mother" he said "I met him though a friend of mine, he owns a recording studio and I dropped by one time and then I met Donghae hyung there. He's one hell of a singer" he added
"So you sing?" she asked, munching another scoop of ice cream
"In the shower, yes" 
"I don't believe you"
"You have a piano here, Most people that have those can sing" she insisted
"Not me" he said.
"Okay... So you compose then?"
"Did I do something wrong?" he then asked, resting his elbow on the table.
"Why?"
"You're investigating me" he said with a smile.
"I just want to know you more, Don't you think it's unfair how you know me and yet I don't have a clue who you are and what you do." she said in defense
"Yes, I compose. I write songs for a living" he then answered
"See, that wasn't so hard?" she said, smiling. They then took the ice cream for granted and started talking. They talked about school and work, how is he able to compose and how he composes and what are the songs that he's written. She was really aggressive on asking and so is the rain. The rain didn't stop and it was pouring hard outside that you can't even see the street lights or the city lights. He decided to turn on the TV and there they found out that there's a storm, and the weather man advised the people to not get out of their houses unless there's an emergency. The two looked at each other and then at the clock. "It's still early" Henry thought.

They then played games, watched movies and then talked some more just to pass time but the rain isn't getting any weaker, and it's almost midnight. "I should probably go..." she said

"In this rain? I won't let that happen" Henry said
"I'll just borrow and umbrella, I'll return it to you tomorrow"
"Look Chae, I'm not gonna let you do that. Why don't you spend the night here? I promise you I'll walk you home first thing tomorrow morning. You can sleep in my room. I'll take the couch" He said
"But Henry.." she started.
"I insist, If you're uncomfortable with it. I'll just run to Donghae hyung's place"
"NO!" she said, Henry looked at her then she said "I mean uhm...No... it's okay. I don't want you to go out into the rain, besides this is your place right? why would you not sleep at your own house.." and let out a blank laugh, then she said "I'll just use the bathroom" and excused herself. Henry then went off to change the sheets, he was smiling as he got fresh bedding "She cares about me" he said under his breath as he changed the sheets and the pillow cases. He then got a blanket and a pillow for himself, sprayed some disinfectant spray and then came to the living room to find a very sleepy Chaerin. "Bed's ready" he said
"Thanks" she said, walking to Henry's bedroom
"You're welcome. Sweet dreams" he said, as he watched Chaerin go into his room and close the door. He lied down and watched some TV to get his mind off things, plus he isn.t feeling sleepy yet. He decided to call his hyung up, asking how his noona is "She's a little panicked and somewhat concerned"
"Is it about the thing with Chae?"
"Oh... Chae. Are you two on a nickname basis now? Does she call you HenHen as an endearment?"
"No and No, she told me to just call her Chae and that's what I'm doing, and what in the world is HenHen? It sounds like a name for a chicken"
"Look dude, she's worried about her friend. Did you send her home yet?"
"No, she's sleeping in my room"
"WHAT? Why?"
"The rain is pouring outside, I'm not gonna let her go home in this weather."
"Walk her home?"
"I thought of that but it's dark outside. Do you think we'll be able to get to where we're going?"
"That's true... so, what was happening with you two in the kitchen?"
"I knew you were going to bring that up.. I was just reaching the bowls for her"
"Oh so you just happen to be standing so close to her?" Donghae said
Henry then grinned, and let out a laugh "Yes... What is wrong with you?"
"Oh nothing... I mean you two looked like you just came out from the shower and you know, your clothes and the closeness." Donghae began
"Oh no hyung, I am not like you"
"YAH! What does that mean?"
"I don't do it like you do. I court them not invade them"
"Yeah, whatever. Sleep!"
"Good night to you too" Henry said and hung up. He then looked up the ceiling and thought about what his hyung said, then he remembered meeting her eyes earlier today. He got to thinking that he might really serious for this girl, like marriage and starting a family serious. Then he got into thinking "What about her?"
