Arena raised an eyebrow at Kihyun. "Well right now, I'm still 17. Why?"

Kihyun bit his lip and shook his head, "Nothing, please continue."

Kihyun himself was 21. He had thought that Arena was older, since she worked at the gas station. He wondered if this would change anything.

Arena eyed him suspiciously. Rolled her eyes and continued, "Well my best friend is Naha, I'm a Junior in school, really like Monsta X and.." She bit her lip and looked at her hands, which were sitting in her lap.

Kihyun blinked at her. "And?"

Arena raised her eyes to meet Kihyun's and said awkwardly, "You are my favorite."

Kihyun lost it. He started chuckling so hard he almost fell off the couch. Aren laughed too. Kihyun wiped tears from the corners of his eyes from laughing. "Are you serious?" he asked still grinning like an idiot.

"Yes," said Arena seriously.

"I'm not surprised," said Kihyun smiling and leaned slightly forward.

Arena smiled nervously and made a small movement away from Kihyun.

"Okay, your turn," said Arena and turned herself on the couch, so she was facing him. She folded her legs underneath her and rested her chin on her hand

"Don't you already know everything about me?" asked Kihyun teasingly.

"Stop that," said Arena and grinned, "I don't know everything."

"Well, my name is Kihyun, I'm 21, I'm the lead singer of Monsta X," he wiggled his eyebrows and Arena smiled, "I like to hang out with the members, although we've been very busy with the new album and comebacks and tours and everything. In fact," he looked sad, "we're leaving in a few days. We're stopping here for longer because our next performance will be the last one on our tour."

Arena felt like she was attending a mini private fanmeeting. Only that she was alone. With her bias. And was talking to him. Oh god she had touched him before. Arena tried to calm her heart and nerves at the same time.

"So when are you leaving?" asked Arena.

"Already trying to get rid of me," said Kihyun jokingly and Arena rolled her eyes again.

"We are leaving the day after tomorrow," said Kihyun on a more serious tone now.

"Huh, that's too bad," said Arena and cracked her neck. She grinned.

Kihyun cringed. "Isn't your neck going to break off like this?" He seemed nervous and shocked all of a sudden.

Arena laughed, "No, of course not."

Kihyun looked at her neck and then met her eyes, still cringing. "Are you sure? That sounded like something had seriously snapped."

Arena put her hand on Kihyun's shoulder and said softly, "I guarantee you, nothing in my neck broke when I did that." She pulled back her hand and shrugged, "I've been doing this for 4 years and.." she took her neck between her hands and moved it around awkwardly, "still here."

"You are something." said Kihyun and grinned.

"What's this?" came a voice from the hallway.

Kihyun turned his head and saw I.M standing there, leaning onto the wall. Arena smiled awkwardly and then looked at Kihyun. "Maybe I should get going." She said quietly and tried to stand up, but Kihyun grabbed her jacket and tugged her back onto the couch.

"No, you aren't going anywhere," said Kihyun intensely and then looked at I.M. "What do you want?"

"I heard you laughing all the way to our room so I came to see what this was about. How did she get here?" I.M jerked his chin toward Arena. I.M's hands were folded on his chest and he looked annoyed.

"I.M," said Kihyun through gritted teeth and stood up, "This is Arena, I believe you remember her from the fansign yesterday?"

I.M thought for a second and then nodded. He pushed off from the wall and took a step towards them, "That still doesn't explain why she's even here. We can't allow foolish things like this to happen. What if she brought cameras and other crazed fans with her?"

Arena stood up. I.M was only one year older than her.

"With all your respect," said Arena and bowed her head, "I'm not the kind of girl to let everyone know if a guy asks to meet me." She gestured to Kihyun.

"When a guy asks to meet her?" Thought Kihyun and smiled.

"I came with my friend, no one else knows about this. I believe she's with Wonho right now?"

Arena looked at Kihyun who nodded.

I.M's face was expressionless. Blank. Empty. Nothing. No emotion whatsoever.

He sighed. "Make sure no one else finds out about this, okay?" said I.M and looked at Kihyun meaningfully.

"You got it," said Kihyun and gave a small salute with his index finger.

"Unbelievable," scowled I.M as he turned around and took off. Kihyun rushed to stand in front of Arena and looked at her with a shocked expression.

"Wow," was all he said and Arena smiled.

"I like your makeup," said Arena and smiled.

Kihyun looked flushed. "Manly, isn't it?"

Arena nodded, "Very. But I bet I can do a better job on your makeup than any of the makeup artists you have."

"Oh yeah? Prove it."

Arena shrugged and folded her arms, "I don't have my makeup bag with me."

"I have some in my room." Kihyun winked.

"Ah hell no, we don't even know each other," answered Arena and took a step back.

"C'mon that's not what I meant. Is your mind in the gutter or something?" Kihyun's eyebrows were raised high.

Arena raised her hands in defeat.

They started walking toward Kihyun's room which he shared with Wonho.

They reached the door. It was dark brown and carved. Every door was. The hallways were decorated like the lobby. In warm and golden tones. Everything looked elegant, posh and at the same time, modern.

To open the door you had to swipe a key card, and that's exactly what Kihyun did.

"Do I even want to know why you have makeup in your room?" asked Arena and followed Kihyun into the room.

Someone was already there.

A male voice.

And a female.

Arena recognized it immediately.

She stepped out from behind Kihyun and stared at Naha who was sitting with Wonho, eating chips and laughing.

"Naha?" said Arena and smiled. Naha's mouth fell open and she blushed.

"Come in, come in," said Wonho and grinned.

Kihyun touched the tips of his fingers to the small of Arena's back and slightly pushed her towards the open space.

"Hi," said Arena and smiled at Wonho, who gave her a nod.

"Don't you two trust people easily," muttered Arena and shook her head.

Kihyun sat down on his bed and pulled out a makeup bag. He handed it to Arena and patted the seat beside him. Arena sat down and took the bag with a sigh.

"I'm going to need makeup remover too, you know," said Arena and laid out all of the makeup products and brushes.

"This is amazing, you have such high quality products" laughed Arena to herself while Kihyun stood up to go look for makeup remover.

"What are you doing?" asked Naha and threw a chip into her mouth. Arena noticed Wonho watching Naha with interest. Arena smiled at the view.

She wasn't the only one causing Monsta X to break rules.

"What are you looking at?" asked Naha.

"Oh nothing," said Arena and winked.

Kihyun returned with makeup remover and some cotton pads. He sat down next to Arena.

Arena moved closer to Kihyun so she could take off his makeup that he had on now.

"You didn't answer me before," said Naha from the other bed and waved her hand high in the air to get Arena's attention.

Arena started taking off Kihyun's makeup. Never would she have thought that she'd be touching his face in any situation.

"We had a bet, I said I could do his makeup better than any of the makeup artists you guys have." She didn't lift her eyes from Kihyun and continued working.

"Hey, Kihyun. Prepare yourself to lose the bet. Arena slays at makeup."

"Noted," said Kihyun and grinned opening his eyes.

"Don't move," said Arena to Kihyun and patted his eyes with the makeup remover soaked cotton pad. "And close your eyes."

Wonho snickered and Naha shot him a glare.

"Can you do makeup?" asked Wonho from Naha and rolled to his back on the bed.

"Yes, but I can do hair wayyyyy better" said Naha and smiled at Wonho.

"Will you do mine?" asked Wonho and wiggled his eyebrows.

"If you insist." Naha smiled.

It was amazing how everything had progressed. Naha and Arena were literally sitting in their Idols' bedrooms, on their beds, talking and joking with them.

UNREAL. THIS WOULD NEVER EVER HAPPEN IN REALITY. YOU ARE DREAMING OR YOU HIT YOUR HEAD. PROBABLY BOTH BECAUSE STUFF LIKE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN.

Arena's mind was screaming this over and over.

Kihyun and Wonho's room was quite big. Bigger than your average hotel room anyway. It had two king sized beds, both beds had a night stand on each side. The room had 2 big closets. A full length mirror near the door, a bathroom with a bathtub and shower, opposite the beds there was a minifridge, TV, a TV stand, a table and a comfy looking couch. The entire room looked amazing. Kihyun's half of the room was clean and tidy and Wonho's side of the room...not so much. I think Kihyun was the only one bothered by that.

"How do you want me to do your hair?" asked Naha and looked at Wonho.

"From the very beginning," said Wonho and smiled.

Naha looked at him curiously and lifted her eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"You have to wash it first" said Wonho, jumped off the bed and held out a hand to help Naha up. He winked and strode to the bathroom, not checking if Naha was following him or not.

"We aren't even close enough for me to be washing your hair!" yelled Naha and followed him to the bathroom. "Who cares?" replied Wonho's muffled voice from the bathroom.

"He's crazy. This whole thing is crazy" muttered Naha.

"Leave the door open!" said Arena loudly and grinned. Kihyun chuckled.

"Hey, hold still, will you," said Arena and powdered his nose.

"I want to open my eyes so I could see your face." Said Kihyun and grinned.

"Stop grinning, you're distracting me."

"I am distracting you?" said Kihyun and opened his eyes, smiling smugly.

"Stop. I am a complete stranger to you, okay? You don't even know me. Now close. Your. Eyes."

Kihyun sighed and obeyed.

Arena did his eye makeup, base and contour + highlight.

"Wow you look like a girl," said Arena and laughed.

Wonho came back from the bathroom, a towel on his head, looking smug.

"Uuuh, Kihyun. I think you just lost your bet," said Wonho and. Naha nudged him gently in the ribs.

Man, these two have gotten close fast.

"Shut up. Arena, can I see?"

Arena nodded and gave him a mirror. Kihyun looked at himself. Then dropped the mirror.

"My god, you were right, have you ever thought of.." he was cut off my Arena's ringing phone. Arena looked at the time, it was already half past seven. She held up her finger and answered her phone. It was her mom so she spoke in Estonian.

"Yeah?"

"Hi honey, where are you?"

Arena looked at Naha and bit her lip. Naha understood and gave her the okay sign with her hand. Arena nodded.

"I'm with Naha, I'll call you when I'm coming home, okay?"

"Okay, love you"

"Love you too."

She hung up the phone.

Kihyun and Wonho were staring at her like she was mental. "What was that?" asked Kihyun, his eyes had gone huge. Wonho's mouth was open.

"That was me speaking Estonian with my mom," said Arena and blushed.

"It sounded beautiful," said Wonho. Arena smiled, tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and picked up the mirror from Kihyun's bed. "What was it you were about to tell me before my mom called?"

"Oh right, I was about to ask if you have ever thought about becoming a makeup artist." Said Kihyun.

Naha, who was currently busy with drying Wonho's hair almost dropped the blow dryer. Arena brushed off the comment like a fallen leaf, "Yeah, like that'll ever happen."

"That's what you told me last year about meeting Monsta X, you know. And look where we are now," said Naha and gestured to the hotel room.

"In a hotel room with a couple of guys?" asked Wonho.

Naha was close to smacking him in the head with the blow dryer. "No, I mean. Getting to go to your concert and now this, et cetera. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Did you ever think you'd find yourself in your hotel room with a couple of fans?" said Naha.

"Woah, nice," said Arena and chuckled.

Wonho shook his head, "I'm glad I did tho, It's been a while since we had a fun time with anyone other than the members."

Kihyun nodded and stood up from the bed. "I'll be right back" and flashed a smile to Arena. He left the room, leaving Arena alone with Wonho and Naha.

Arena picked up the makeup brushes and met Naha's eyes. They both grinned sneakily and Arena moved forward.

"Wonho, do u want me to do your makeup too?"

***

When Kihyun returned, he didn't expect to see Arena and Naha on the floor laughing and his hyung standing in front of the mirror speechless. Music was playing loudly.

"Ahh this is so precious," said Naha and tried to sit up but failed.

Arena wiped laughter tears from her eyes and held onto her stomach. "This is so funny I. Can't. Breathe."

The continued cracking up on the floor.

Wonho looked at Kihyun.

Kihyun burst out chuckling himself. He closed the door behind him and scanned Wonho.

"What have they done to you?" laughed Kihyun. "I was gone for 6 minutes and this is what happens. Unbelievable."

He went over and helped the girls up from the floor. Naha collapsed again on Wonho's bed and managed to sit up.

Arena clung to Kihyun's sweater and tried to control her laughter.

Wonho looked ridiculous. Arena had made his makeup look like a small toddler's from the TV show "Toddlers and Tiaras" and Naha had made small braids into his hair.

"Why did you do this to me?" said Wonho half crying and half laughing.

"You think we know?" asked Arena. "It seemed like a good decision at the time."

"You scoundrels," said Kihyun and held onto Arena so she wouldn't fall onto the floor laughing. Again.

She took a breath and said, "Okay I think I'm fine you can let go of me now."

"I'd rather not" said Kihyun and winked.

"Watch it," replied Arena and yanked free from his grip.

There was a knock on the door.

Shoot.

The laughter quickly died down. Arena shot Naha a shocked look.

"Quick, hide in the bathroom," said Wonho. Arena and Naha swiftly went into the bathroom, locked the door and turned off the lights.

"What am I going to do about my face...ah who cares," said Wonho and opened the door.

"What's with you guys? Why are you being so loud... , Wonho what happened to you?" Came voices from outside the door. It was Minhyuk and I.M. Two other Monsta X members.

Arena and Naha silently laughed in the bathroom. They were still high on the giggles.

"And what's that sound? What is going on here?" asked Minhyuk. I.M just stayed quiet and raised his eyebrows at Kihyun, who in return raised his eyebrows at Wonho, who only shrugged.

They had their arms crossed over their chests and at the same time Arena and Naha worked hard not to laugh.

"Should we just get out and reveal ourselves?" asked Naha in a whisper. Arena nodded, "Wait I have a plan."

Soon the girls stood up and walked straight out of the bathroom.

"Hi, thanks for letting us use your bathroom sink, since ours is broken" said Arena in English and mouthed "Play along" to Kihyun in Korean.

"Ah yes..umm.. you're welcome" said Kihyun in awkward English and smiled.

"We'll be going now, thanks again" said Naha, "Oh hello there. If you'd excuuuuuuse us..thank you," and squeezed out of the door from between Minhyuk and I.M.

Arena and Naha ran out of the room and hid behind a corner in the hallway.

They waited and peeked until Minhyuk and I.M left and then ran back into Kihyun and Wonho's room.

"That was close, you better thank us for saving your asses," said Naha and closed the door.

"That was amazing," said Wonho and Kihyun in unison and they all high fived each other.

Arena smiled and looked at her watch. "We should probably get going soon, we have school tomorrow."

Kihyun and Wonho suddenly looked sad but they understood. They knew the school situation all too well themselves.

"Before you go, can I have your kakaotalk username and phone number?" asked Kihyun from Arena and scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh, sure." She wrote it down on a piece of paper she found in the room. Arena was sure she saw Naha doing the same for Wonho.

"Thank you, we had a fun time," said Kihyun.

"Are you kidding? We should be thanking you. It's not everyday you get to hang out with celebrities. I still can't believe this happened" said Arena and looked at Naha who nodded in agreement.

"We actually felt like normal people tonight, having hung out with girls. We never get to do that now," said Wonho.

He smiled at Naha.

Kihyun caught Arena's gaze and smiled.

"Well, we'll just be on our way then," said Arena and started to reach for the door handle.

"Bye!" said Arena and Naha at the same time and stepped out of the door, leaving Kihyun and Wonho inside the hotel room.

They walked into the elevator and once they got in..

Arena grasped her heart and leaned against the elevator wall. She took in a sharp breath. "Aishh I thought I was going to die. My heart almost jumped out of my chest. I can't breathe." Arena rambled.

Naha was in the same condition. "I feel you, girl I feel you. Every single one of my dreams just came true."

Back in the hotel room, Wonho asked where Kihyun had gone while the girls had tortured him with makeup.
