Yeosang plops down onto the couch next to San, covering his mahogany red cheeks again before glancing over at the TV which holds the game the four boys have been playing for the past hour or so. After feeling the sofa dip a little, San lifts his head up, turning his body around and looking over at Yeosang, who's paying zero attention to him.

"Wooyoung mess with you again?" San asks, with a cheeky smile as he moves closer to the older.

"What do you expect? Look." Yeosang mumbles, removing his hands away from his cheeks, revealing his flustered face. San giggles at the older, ruffling his hair in a playful manner before he retracts his hand.

"He knows what he's doing." San says, moving back so he could lay against Yunho's side again.

"Yes, I do." Wooyoung replies, a smug grin still on his lips as he sits down next to Yeosang, wrapping his arms around him. He pulls the older towards him, a little harshly, making him fall back and lean against his chest.

Yeosang does a quick hair shake to fix his hair as Wooyoung smiles and looks down at him. He playfully pokes Yeosang's cheek, the older crossing his arms and allowing Wooyoung to mess with him for the time being.

"Y'all are still playing that game?" Wooyoung asks, his gaze shifting over to his bandmates who's eyes are still glued onto the television.

"We're on a streak okay?!" Jongho exclaims, Wooyoung jumping at the unexpected loudness of his voice.

"How long have they been playing?" You ask, seating yourself down next to a half asleep Hongjoong on the sofa.

"It's been a few hours. Surprised they haven't played something else." Hongjoong replies, stretching his limbs as he tries to get comfortable. Seonghwa seats himself down next to you, lifting you up off the couch by the waist and setting you down on his lap.

He rests his chin on your shoulder as you lean back against his chest, a content smile visible on your lips as you melt into his embrace. Wooyoung looks over at you both after seeing y'all in his peripheral vision, quickly tapping Yeosang's shoulder as a smile creeps up onto his lips at the sight of the two of you.

"What?" Yeosang mumbles, glancing up at him.

"Look at your sister and Seonghwa." Wooyoung replies, pointing over at the two of you across the room. Yeosang looks over at you and Seonghwa, his mouth quickly shaping into an "O" shape as he examines the two of you, carefully.

"Is that why my wrist feels so tingly?" Yeosang whispers, leaning back into Wooyoung's embrace, subconsciously.

"Yup. You know when a pair slowly starts to become you know what's, others can feel it too." Wooyoung replies, resting his head on top of the older's.

"Can the process hurry up already? I wanna teach them everything I know."

"You know you can't rush the process Sang-ah, so no." Yeosang pouts, both boys continuing to look at you and Seonghwa for a little while longer until Wooyoung breaks the silence.

"I bet it'll be official by the end of the week." Wooyoung blurts out.

"So in two days!" Yeosang exclaims happily, sitting up with a huge smile.

"Man, you look like a cute little puppy when you're happy." Wooyoung unwraps an arm from Yeosang's waist and ruffles his hair playfully, the latter giggling uncontrollably as he reaches to grab the younger's wrists.

"No ruffle." Yeosang states, pulling Wooyoung's hand off his head. "You've messed with me enough today."

"So what your saying is.. I can continue this tomorrow?" Wooyoung asks, a innocent smile creeping onto his lips as he looks at the older. Yeosang doesn't say anything and simply looks forward with his arms crossed, causing Wooyoung to giggle. "You're so freaking cute!" Wooyoung exclaims, quickly retracting his hand and ruffling Yeosang's hair again

"Okay, okay, okay! Go mess with San!!" Yeosang exclaims, in between helpless giggles.

"Ooh, San's awake?"

"Yes, he's awake!"

"San-ah!" At the call of his name, San perks up, his gaze shifting over to Wooyoung and Yeosang.

"San-ah!" Wooyoung exclaims again, stopping his attack on Yeosang temporarily, lifting the older up so he could sit next to the latter.

"Okayyy, put me down." Yeosang says, the younger complying and setting the older down on his lap again.

"Hi bestie." Say greets, a smile visible on his lips as he waves vigorously at the younger.

"Hi bestie." Wooyoung repeats, waving at the older as well, mimicking his energy.

"Young-ah, can I be let go?.." Yeosang asks, struggling to prod the younger's arms from around his waist.

"No, I wish to have both my besties." Wooyoung replies, San smiling from ear to ear as he scoots closer to Wooyoung; leaning against his shoulder as he gets comfortable. Wooyoung puts one arm around San's shoulder and wraps the other around Yeosang's stomach, the biggest smile appearing on his lips at being able to initiate this level of skinship.

"Okay, I like this..." Yeosang's mumbles, leaning into Wooyoung's embrace and practically melting in it.

"It's nice, right?" San replies, looking over at Yeosang with a little smile.

"And you said you wanted to be let go." Wooyoung says, narrowing his eyes as he sends a playful glare towards the latter.

"Okay first off... I feel BOTH of you staring at me. SECOND, I take back what I previously said because this does feels heavenly." Yeosang replies, crossing his arms as a little pout forms on his lips. Wooyoung and San both smile at each other before the younger leans forward and rests his chin on top of Yeosang's head. "Don't go being all clingy now." Yeosang mutters.

"Oh, please. Don't go acting like you don't like my affection." Wooyoung mumbles, rubbing his cheek against the older's fluffy hair, a content smile visible on his lips.

"You love it when a member gets clingy with you. You're smile is a huge give away." San adds, smiling teasingly as he glances over at the Yeosang.

"I didn't ask to be called out, alright?" Yeosang mumbles, his pout deepening as he melts in Wooyoung's embrace again.
