4| Caught (Hyunjin)

Today is dance practice day. Well, almost every day is dance practice day, but today is special since it's a Wednesday.

Miyeon usually practices alone with her group, but they have to share a room with Stray Kids to practice on Wednesdays since there's a lack of rooms available in the building right now, due to an entire floor being remodeled.

That is not a problem for Miyeon as she is very close and gets along with all of them, so much so in fact, that she and Hyunjin started dating in secret a couple months ago.

They decided not to tell anyone yet, as it's a very new relationship that they're not sure will really work out, for now, they're just having fun and not thinking much about it.

Miyeon takes advantage of the fact they have to share the practice room to hang out with Hyunjin. It's customary for the both of them to arrive much earlier than the others to spend some time alone together. And that is what they are doing right now.

"How has your week been?" Hyunjin asks holding her hand, the both of them sitting in the corner against a wall

"It's been good, kinda busy, I have a lot of projects at the same time, how about yours?"

"I know what you mean, I have so much to do in so little time" he sighs

"It gets overwhelming sometimes, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, it sure does"

"But it's paying off with all the success you guys have been having lately, you're Mister Popular now" she pokes at his ribs with her elbow

"I guess so" he opens up a bright smile

"Try not to forget about me if you get too famous" she pouts

"I wouldn't worry about that if I were you" he wraps his arms around her in an embrace and kisses her temple "You're quite unforgettable"

She turns to look at him and his eyes are sparkling while staring into hers. Her gaze falls to his plump lips and she leans in to give him a small peck, but he holds her neck when she tries to lean back and kisses her more.

His lips press on hers and part slowly, deepening the kiss more. She kisses him back, enjoying the soft feeling and letting him lead the pace.

After a while, he pulls at her bottom lip with his teeth and sneaks his tongue into her mouth, she allows him but as the kiss goes on she gets a little nervous.

"What if someone comes?" she asks, pulling away a bit

"It's still early" he glances at the clock on the wall "They're always late, you know that"

She bites her lip, still nervous, but he pulls on it with his thumb, popping it away from her teeth and putting it in his mouth. He sucks on her lip softly and runs his tongue on it, taking her in for another kiss and she doesn't resist.

Her worries melt into the kiss, trusting that Hyunjin knows what he is doing. The kiss starts to pick up speed and intensity as he pulls her body closer to his.

He continues pulling her closer until she climbs on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. His hands caress from her waist, up her back until the back of her neck, where he slides his fingers under her hair.

Delicately grabbing a fistful of it, he pulls on her hair softly to move her head to the side, giving him free access to her neck where he places small wet kisses.

She keeps her eyes closed and takes a deep breath, just enjoying the feeling of his lips on her. When he sucks and nibbles on the skin of her collarbone she moans softly and he licks from that spot to the back of her ear, taking her lobe in his mouth.

Her hips start to grind a little, almost as if on their own, she has no control over her actions anymore. Her breathing starts to speed up and she feels dizzy, intoxicated with his delicious smell. He slides his hand under her shirt to caress her back, his cold hand on her hot skin making her shiver.

Missing the contact of his lips, she leans back and kisses him again, deeply and sloppily, the wet sounds of their tongues tangling with each other echo in the room.

This is by far the most intense kiss they've ever had, it's making them feel overly warm and excited, tingles erupting in their stomachs as they don't want to part any time soon.

Hyunjin decides to be a little bolder, seeing Miyeon seems to be as excited as he is. So he slides his hands down, further than he had ever gone, caressing her hips and then her butt, squeezing it a little.

To his surprise she moans against his lips and grinds on him more, making him even more excited. He grips her tighter and aids in her movements, applying more pressure on his own crotch which grew tighter by the second.

Miyeon's head is spinning in pleasure at the intense situation, her heart beating out of her chest as her hands tangle in his hair and explore his body. She is about to sneak one under his shirt when the door suddenly opens.

"What the fuck?!" someone screams

She pushes Hyunjin away and looks at the door. Han is standing there, his eyes so wide they're almost jumping out from his skull and his mouth is open in a dramatic "O". He looks so shocked Miyeon is sure his reaction would have been chiller if he had seen a ghost.

Hyunjin quickly puts her aside and gets up running over to Han, closing the door behind him with a slam "Keep your voice down" he says angrily

"W-w-what is going on?" he looks from Miyeon to Hyunjin in shock

"Fuck, give me a second" Hyunjin bends over and puts his hands on his knees, taking a deep breath

Miyeon and Han slowly look down at Hyunjin's pants where they can clearly see a large bulge, and as if rehearsed they both look each other in the eye again and blush simultaneously. She gets up from the floor and adjusts her shirt which was a little lifted.

"Why are you here so early?" she asks with an accusing tone, ignoring her burning face and trying to divert attention

"I knew Hyunjin was already here and I didn't want him to be lonely," Han says innocently "Although that was clearly not an issue"

"Hyunjin is always here early and you never cared before"

Han gasps dramatically and points a finger at her "Oh my God so this is not the first time!"

She doesn't know how to respond, but her burning cheeks give her away.

"Oh - my - God!!" Han screams

"Not so loud!" Hyunjin punches his arm

"How long has this been going on? What even is going on?" he points from him to Miyeon and then back at him

"We're clearly dating you dumbass" Hyunjin finally stands up straight, seeming to have recovered "It's only been a couple months"

"Couple months?" his eyes widen again "Does Chan hyung know about this?"

"No, and you're not gonna tell him," he says aggressively

"How am I supposed to not tell him you guys are fucking in the practice room?"

"We weren't f-" Miyeon starts but Han interrupts her by raising his hand to her face

"I know what I saw Song Miyeon!"

"We weren-"

"How could you?" he says dramatically "How could you deflower our boy?!"

"Oh my God" she rolls her eyes, turning around and placing her face in her hands, taking a deep breath

"Listen, man, this is a new relationship and we don't want anyone to know about it yet, okay?" Hyunjin interjects

"You should have thought about that before you started fucking in the practice ro-" Han is interrupted by a hand over his mouth

"Stop saying that," Hyunjin says through gritted teeth "We haven't done anything like that yet"

"Dude!" Miyeon calls him out, turning back to face them

"What?" he looks at her

"TMI!"

"You'd rather he think we were doing it in here?" he says exasperated

"But-" she stops herself as he has a point

"Just promise me you won't tell anyone else" he removes his hand from Han's mouth "Deal?"

"Deal" Han gives in

"Deal" a third voice chimes in from outside

They all freeze in place and stare at each other with wide eyes and pale faces. Hyunjin is the first to snap out of it and walks to the door, opening it slowly. On the other side Lee Know is standing there with a wide grin on his face.

"Sup!" he enters the room casually "Heard someone was fucking in here"

"We weren't fucking!" Miyeon and Hyunjin shout in unison

"Yeah, yeah, I heard the whole thing, you guys are loud as shit" all eyes turn accusingly to Han who just smiles awkwardly

"Why are you here too?" Hyunjin asks

"I was looking for Jisung and I heard he was here with you so I came to steal him away," he puts an arm over Han's shoulder

"How much did you hear?" Hyunjin sighs rubbing a hand on his forehead

"I think I caught all the important parts, you two are dating and Chan hyung is not supposed to know," he says calmly "Oh, and you guys are a bunch of virgins"

"First of all, no one is supposed to know about this, not just Chan hyung" he points at Lee Know's face "Second of all, shut up, it's been 2 months"

"What is the big deal? We all have girlfriends, including Chan hyung, you were the last single one" he scoffs "And dude, there's a lot you can do in 2 months"

"True" Han chimes in "But I.N is actually still single"

"Isn't he dating Jieun yet?"

"I don't think so, last I heard he was too chicken to confess"

"That's so I.N" they laugh together

"Just keep this all between us please" Hyunjin pleads "All of it"

"Yeah yeah, we got it, won't tell anyone, but really, it's not a big deal"

They both walk to a different corner of the room and start fooling around. Miyeon's head is spinning from all that happened, barely being able to process it all. Hyunjin approaches her with a worried look on his face, he chews on his bottom lip nervously trying to read her eyes.

"I'm sorry about all this mess"

"It's okay, it's not your fault" she pulls on his bottom lip with her thumb like he did before

"Ew, get a room" Han shouts from behind them

Miyeon turns around to see he is literally lying on top of Lee Know on the couch in the back, them play-fighting like a lovey-dovey couple, she scoffs at them and rolls her eyes.

"Right back at you," she says before turning back

"You did tell me to stop," Hyunjin says nervously, ignoring the other two

"We can talk about this later" she approaches him and stands on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear "And keep up where we left off"

She can see the tip of his ear turning red.

"Apparently we have lots to catch up on from the last 2 months"

"I don't want you to feel pressured to do anything, especially not because of what Lee Know said" he whispers embarrassed

"After making out with me like that" she traces her finger on his chest softly "There's no more reason to play innocent"

She smiles and winks seductively at him before walking away. At that moment the rest of their members start entering the room and she goes to a corner to start stretching.

Hyunjin shakes his head in disbelief, a small smile on his face as he goes to greet the others and warm up. The practice goes on with no more incidents, just lots of glances at each other in the mirror. They can't wait until this practice is over.
