"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.

Once Jeonghan had eaten he decided it was time to go. "Shower!" he said as he pushed Seungcheol back towards the guest area of the apartment. "You should be able to find anything you need in the bathroom down there." "What about my clothes?" he asked as he looked down at the jeans and shirt he'd put back on after collecting them from the bedroom floor. "Just look in the wardrobe. You should be able to find something!" he winked before disappearing into his own room to get ready with the kitten close behind him.

Seungcheol walked back into the spacious room and opened the sliding mirrored door of the built in robe with more than a little trepidation. Inside were rows and rows of clothes hanging neatly on hangers. Six black tshirts, two white ones and two grey ones, four pairs of black jeans and two pairs of blue jeans. An exact replica of the haul of clothing Jeonghan had purchased for him as his 'uniform'. He opened a drawer and found rows and rows of neatly folded underwear, all black, soft luxury bamboo boxer briefs, satin boxer shorts, a few pairs of some skimpy looking briefs. Socks and a few white singlets and a nice leather belt. There was even a thick black zip up hoodie.

Seungcheol stared at the clothes and wondered exactly how often Jeonghan planned on having him stay over.

He shrugged it off and grabbed a towel from the stocked shelf inside the wardrobe and closed it behind himself. As he stepped inside the bathroom adjoining the spare room he found it fully stocked with expensive toiletries and cosmetics of every kind. He stood under a hot shower and stretched as the tight scarring on his chest pulled and ached. He rubbed it under the hot water to try to soften the skin a little and his mind wandered back to his spur of the moment confession in bed that morning. He wondered if Jeonghan was already telling Jisoo about his story and how he ended up here.

He shampooed his hair and inhaled the deliciously rich scent of green tea and mint. It smelled amazing but it wasn't the same one Jeonghan used. His was definitely coconut scented.

Seungcheol opened his eyes and stared vacantly at the tiled wall while he wondered why he remembered that. And why it kept crossing his mind, that heavenly scent of peach and coconut, the tickly way Jeonghan's hair had brushed his chin and neck.

What did Luda's hair smell like? He didn't know.

Luda.....

He turned the shower off and wrapped a towel around his lower half before dashing out to find his phone. He groaned when he saw the missed messages and sent her a text back, telling her he was fine, he'd spent the night at his boss' apartment, and he would be busy all day.

"Come over tonight and I'll take you out for dinner," he sent finally as he dried himself and quickly dressed.

Poor Luda. He felt awful. She'd totally slipped his mind and the last message he'd sent her from the restaurant said that he wouldn't make dinner not that he would be missing all night. He sighed at her sweet reply and was reminded of how lucky he was. She was so easy going, so relaxed and pleasant, and the sweetest girl he'd ever met.

His mind snapped to the exact opposite person in his life as he laced his boots and walked out into the living room. His very temperamental and high-maintenance boss was waiting expectantly for him with the kitten in his lap. "We've got to go to the company to meet my producer." Jeonghan said as he shook his platinum locks and ran a hand through them. "And Chan Chan wants to come so get the cat cage."

Jisoo and Seungcheol looked at each other, both unsure who he was talking to, until Jeonghan's eyes swiftly indicated Seungcheol. "You Cheollie. You're the official cat daddy now. He doesn't like Jisoo."

Bodyguard

Babysitter

Bed warmer....

Seungcheol mentally added Cat Daddy to his list of ever growing titles as he picked up the cat cage and added Chan Chan's favourite blanket for his outing to the company.
