you're cold and i burn

Shino’s cheeks turned slightly red before she quickly shook her head, “I asked you a question…” She said quietly.

Minho took no time as he stared over at her, leaving the box alone for the meanwhile, “What do you mean?  You haven’t done anything, unless you have and you’re keeping it a secret from me.” He shrugged once again, checking his watch. 

Shino felt eyes on her as she made her bed, but she tried to ignore it. When she was done, she turned around to look at Minho and she happened to catch him looking at her at some point. Shino went and sat across from him. “What did I do wrong?” She genuinely thought she did something wrong for him to act like the way he does now.

Minho turned his back as he pulled open the wardrobe, opening a box before turning back around to look at Shino. “Do you want to sort out your clothes that are in this box? Or do you not mind if I see your underwear?” He teased again, one hand in his pocket as he stared at the woman he was going to marry. 

Shino frowned more if it was humanly possible for her. “Whatever.” She muttered. Shino didn’t even try to stop him, she just went to the other side of the room to take out some sheets to do her bed.

Minho looked at Shino as she began to make her bed, eyes returning back to the box as he grabbed a few items from it, placing them to the side of her room, eyes coming to look back at Shino every so often.

“And that’s no way to treat your future wife.” She responded. Shino usually didn’t have enough courage in her to speak like this, she didn’t know where all of this was coming from. “I just want to be alone right now.” She said, closing her door.

Minho moved over to Shino's door, slipping into her room. "I'll help you unpack, think of it as a peace offering if you will." He spoke, grabbing one of the boxes before opening it up.

Shino crossed her arms, raising her eyebrows as she watched him. “You’re such an asshole.” She muttered quietly, flicking the back of his head before grabbing her last box and going to her room, closing the door. She really hated how he acted now and she just wanted to leave, but she knew she couldn’t.

Minho's eyes flashed open immediately after feeling Shino flick the back of his head, "That's no way to treat your future husband." He muttered, rubbing the back of his head, "Were you not taught manners?"

Shino had to admit to herself that she was disappointed he didn’t bother helping her but went to do his own thing. She shrugged it off and carried her things in her room. It wasn’t long before she heard his voice again as she was passing by in the hallway to grab more of her boxes. “Hold on.” She mumbled, grabbing the hammer from where she left it earlier and came back to give it to him. “Here.”

Once Shino retreated with the hammer a smirk twinged on Minho's lips. "Ah, thank you." He spoke, before holding up the picture of himself in one hand. "This guy's good looking, right? I'm thinking that I should hang this up out here, unless you want this one for your room. You can put it on your nightstand and kiss your future husband goodnight." Minho took it upon himself to purse his lips and imitate obnoxious kissing noises as he shut his eyes.

“I’m very sure.” She said quietly. Shino sighed, picking up a box. She couldn’t believe he was going to act like that right now. “No. Are you going to help me out? If not, then please go and do something productive.”

Minho raised an eyebrow before picking up one of the boxes that had come from his previous apartment. A large bachelor penthouse in the centre of Seoul, which he was beyond angry at the fact he had to give it up. "I'm going, I'm going!" He pulled a face, opening up the box before beginning to decorate the hallway with some of the photos in the box. "Have you got the hammer?"

“Nothing.” She muttered, walking over to one of the two rooms left to look at them. Shino’s eyes widened a little, she was thankful that she wasn’t facing him at the moment. She tried to look as normal as she possibly could and looked at him again, scoffing, “Are you serious right now? No.” She shook her head before going to look at the other room. “I’m taking this one.” It was a random choice, but she just wanted to find a room at the moment and get rid of having to talk to him.

"Are you sure about that?" Minho teased, following behind Shino. He may not like their current arrangement, but he didn't see why he couldn't use it as an opportunity to have some fun with the female. "You thought we'd cuddle at night when it was cold, right?"

“Oh, I thought-..” Shino frowned, shaking her head a little. “Yeah.. Yeah, that’s fine.” She said, the cheerfulness she had in her voice earlier gone as pushed past Minho, walking back into the house.

"You thought what?" Minho enquired, turning to follow after the shorter female. "Did you think we were going to sleep in the same bed?" He spluttered out in disbelief.

“Uh.. I was about to get there.” She smiled a little, standing up to face him and dusting off the back of her skirt.

"I was hoping I’d be able to talk to you about sleeping arrangements. I’ll take the room towards the back of the house, you can choose from the other two.” Minho spoke, his hand rubbing at the back of his neck as he watched Shino.

“I’m out here!” She called out from the back. Shino had found a small garden in the back while she was moving a few boxes and got distracted with staring at the greenery, thinking about what she would grow and where.

"Have you started unpacking indoors?" He asked, coming to the backdoor as he leaned against the doorframe. He looked out at his fiancée his lips still pulled into a tight line as he pulled his tie off.
