In his point of view

Mingyu goes to the living room with Hoshi and Vernon. The puppy is still bothered by the pillows. He keeps thinking if it's just a coincidence or someone in this room is the one who he met in the app.

Cheol enters the living room. "Oh, you're fast." Woozi said to Cheol.

"What do you mean?" Cheol asked and sat on the couch in the center.

"You said you're going to the restroom." Woozi said.

"Yeah, why?"

"For 5 seconds?" Woozi asked as if it's very unusual.

"Why do you even care how long I am in the restroom?" Cheol asked out of frustration and Woozi didn't respond.

The others began to discuss which movie they should watch but there was one person who is busy thinking.

"Mingyu!" Hoshi called as he pushes him on his shoulder.

"Oh? What?" Mingyu asked out of confusion while looking around.

"I've been calling you for the nth time." Hoshi said.

Mingyu noticed that everyone was looking at him. He looks at them one by one which made the atmosphere awkward.

"Yah, what are you doing?" Hoshi asked while laughing awkwardly. "We're asking if you have any movies you want to watch." He added.

"No, you guys decide." Mingyu said as he looks at the screen in front of them.

Whether he's here or not, Mingyu feels that he must be careful because he cannot let anyone know his sexuality.

After hours of bonding in Cheol's hideout, Mingyu, Hoshi, and Vernon decided to go home. Woozi is staying in.

"If Woozi is staying, where would he sleep?" Hoshi asked while they were walking to the bus stop.

"Oh, we have our own rooms there because we're there most of the time since we met Seungcheol. So, Cheol let us build our own space since he basically lives there alone." Vernon answered.

Mingyu began to investigate the others. He assumed that the snoopy pillows he saw earlier are his. "You really love Snoopy, aren't you?" Mingyu joked and nervously laughed.

"Yeah. It's my childhood." Vernon answered while smiling.

Mingyu starts to feel that it's Vernon who he has been video calling but he still needs more evidence to prove that it is him.

Days have passed, Mingyu's focus diverted from his studies to finding the person he met in the app. Currently, he has been investigating Vernon. Casually talking to him while low-key finding out things about him, yet none of them helps him because all he knows is the guy's body and \*\*\*\*.

Mingyu sighed while playing with his lunch. "Mingyu, are you okay? You're not eating your food." Hoshi asked and Vernon heard this.

"Oh, I just don't have any appetite." Mingyu answered plainly.

"Why? Did something happen?" Vernon joined the conversation.

Mingyu looks at him. He realised that he has been overly focused on Vernon to the point that it tires him out. "No, Hyung. I'm okay, I ate earlier." He answered.

"Cheol, I'm going to the hideout. I left something." Woozi said.

"Yah, you don't have to tell me. Just go, I'll go there anyway." Cheol said and Mingyu heard this.

"Yah, when can I go to your hideout? It's been a while since the last time I asked. You said soon." Yuna asked and whined.

"Babe, all of us are guys. Also, that's why it's a hideout. MY hideout, meaning boys only." Cheol explained, emphasizing the word My.

"Fine." Yuna said in defeat.

"C-Can I go too?" Mingyu said nervously as he raises his hand and Hoshi looks at him in surprise.

"Okay, sure." Cheol approved.

"Why don't we just all go?" Vernon asked and everyone agreed.

Song recommendation: Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin - For you

The guys arrived at the hideout an hour ago and Mingyu had been busy investigating every room.

"Yah." Hoshi appeared at the end of the hallway calling Mingyu. "What are you doing? I've been looking for you." Hoshi asked as he walks towards Mingyu who is busy looking around.

"Why?" Mingyu asked without bothering to look at his friend.

"They want to drink. Come on." Hoshi answered.

"You go first. I'll catch up." Mingyu said and finally looked at him.

"You better be." Hoshi said and walked away.

After some minutes, Mingyu decides to go now but then he saw Vernon's room. He enters and looks at the Snoopy pillows. He wants to look around but his moral thinks it's bad to touch things in someone's house. So, he gave up and went to the dining room where they will drink.

The whole little party was just them being drunk while playing drinking games. Mingyu also forgot the reason why he wanted to go here in the first place. The party was going well when Vernon began to throw up and ended up puking on Cheol.

When Vernon finally realised what he did, he begins to apologize to the pale guy and he sobers up.

"I'm going now, I'll take a bath. Vernon, you better wash these clothes." Cheol announced and left the room.

"Mingyu, bring this bag to my room. I'll just finish my business at the restroom." Vernon said as he hands him his shoulder black bag and he runs to the restroom.

Mingyu began his way to Vernon's room. When he arrived there, the door was open. He enters and heard the shower is on. The puppy put the bag on the floor and quietly went to the shower to look who it is.

He carefully opens the door, enough for him to peak. Then, he saw that it was Cheol. He wonders why is he showering in Vernon's room. He peaks back to the bathroom and his eyes begins to travel to his body.

In his point of view, Cheol's back is facing the door. Mingyu admires his buffed body and his big butt.

"Mingyu, what are you doing there?" Suddenly, Vernon arrived.

Mingyu was startled to the point that he literally jumped. He looked back at the bathroom and Cheol heard him. The puppy rushes towards Vernon and drags him outside.

"What are you doing there?" Vernon asked again.

"I was just curious who's showering in your room. So, I peak." Mingyu explained.

"Wait, wait. What? You think that's my room?" Vernon asked in confusion.

"Yeah. Why?" Mingyu asked as he begins to feel that he's missing something.

"That's Seungcheol's room." Vernon answered.

"Then why does Seungcheol have Snoopy pillows?" Mingyu asked as he begins to panic.

"Because I gave them to him." Vernon answered. "Yah, what's wrong with you and the snoopy pillows?" He asked out of confusion and frustration.

After that incident, Mingyu thinks of a plan to reveal everything. He went to the restroom and chatted the guy in the app.
