“Mm? Oh. Right. Forgot about you.” A soft chuckle falls into his hair as Jonghyun turns and pulls the blankies off of Taemin’s upper half and nuzzles him. Taemin scrunches his face at the brightness but can’t say that he doesn’t appreciate the affection.

“Who? Is that.”

And that’s a voice that Taemin doesn’t recognize; they didn’t talk much last night but it definitely wasn’t Jonghyun’s light tone or Jinki’s honey smooth voice. He blinks his eyes open groggily and then snaps them open, startled, when he finds two more people peeping at him curiously from the foot of the bed. One is tall and soft with wavy black hair and the other is slightly less tall and pretty with a scar turning their right eyebrow into two points.

“Buh,” he says eloquently, pulling the covers up to his nose again. On the other side of Jonghyun, Jinki snorts.

“Uh, one night stand,” he says. “Can you get him a waffle too, maybe?”

A waffle? Taemin scoots up a little in bed to investigate as his nose finally registers the scent of breakfast. Jonghyun and Jinki each have a little tray in their lap full of heart shaped waffles and bacon and strawberries. He looks up at the other two people again; one of them has flour smudged on their cheek and the other is wearing an apron. Oh.

“How do you forget a one night stand while he’s still in bed with you?” the one with the scar asks. Jonghyun shrugs.

“Being surprised with breakfast in bed is a pretty good distraction, Kibum,” he says.

“Here, Tae,” Jinki says, and hands Taemin a strawberry. Taemin is very confused, but he still takes it and bites all the way up to the little leaves at once. Kibum rolls their eyes and the other person waves friendly at him. Taemin waves back with the hand holding the strawberry top.

“I can put chocolate chips in your waffle if you want,” they offer. “Also, I’m Minho. Hi.”

“Ooh,” Taemin says, and nods vigorously. He loves him some chocolate chips. “Hi. Please,” he says.

“Cute,” Kibum says, and pulls a napkin from Minho’s apron to hand to Taemin. Taemin puts his strawberry top on it and then puts it in his lap.
