They are the Happiest When Together

Chapter 7

June 10, 2021

"Unnie, I'm already here in your unit. See you later!"

It feels good to be back!! But I guess my stomach is more excited than I am.

"Okay. Let's see what's in the fridge."

I got frustrated upon looking inside. There's NOT A SINGLE FOOD. I think I have no choice but to buy fried chicken in the shop nearby.

After buying two boxes of fried chicken, I went straight to the convenience store to buy instant rice.

On my way back to the unit, two not-so-tall men enter the elevator seconds after I did. And one of them seems shocked while looking at me.

"Oh! Lyee!! You didn't tell me you'll be back this year!!" Right. That's the hyper Minhyuk.

"Annyeonghaseyo." I executed a 90-degree bow to show my respect to them. The other man looks a bit confused with me acting so formal. But he bowed too and greeted me back.

"Annyeonghaseyo." He said.

"What's with you two being so formal, huh?" Minhyuk exclaimed then chuckled.

"By the way, Eunkwangie, this is Lyee. She's a cousin of my neighbor upstairs. She's also a Melody."

"Annyeonghaseyo. It's an honor to finally meet you in person." I bowed again.

"Oh. No. No. Stop bowing. Just act comfortably." Eunkwang said panicky so I stood straight.

"Yeah. You didn't even act that way with me." Minhyuk interrupted.

"It's because you acted differently with me too. Tch." I responded sarcastically and he laughed.

"By the way, why didn't you tell me you're going here today? We were just talking on the phone last night." Minhyuk ranted.

"You didn't bother asking me. So why would I tell you, huh?"

"Wait! You guys were talking over the phone? What exactly is your relationship? I need some enlightenment." Eunkwang asked confusedly.

Minhyuk plastered an evil smirk so I decided to answer immediately before he could spit nonsense.

"I am just a fan who became lucky to meet her idols. That's all. Don't think too much, oppa."

Thankfully, the elevator finally opens on their floor so they don't have a choice but to get out. But before they fully get out of the elevator, Minhyuk invited me to come with them which Eunkwang agreed.

"It would be a shame if I decline an offer from my idols. But I guess I'll just follow you there. I have to drop these at my cousin's first." I said while showing the boxes of chicken and rice I bought earlier.

"Okay! We'll expect your presence there!" Eunkwang responded happily.

When I entered my cousin's unit, I had my second thoughts if I'm going to go there or not. What will I do there? Why am I supposed to be there? I might be a distractor to the if I go. These are the thoughts that are playing in my head. 

But it would be an act of disrespect if I don't go. 

Okay fine. I'll go.

After changing my clothes, because the previous one that I was wearing was still from the Philippines geez, I fixed myself a little. When I was finally satisfied with my look, I picked up my phone and a box of chicken then I went to Minhyuk's.

After a few doorbells, Minhyuk, with that smile (that I love) opened the door.

"I thought you won't come. Come in!" He said as he opens the door wider.

"I'm sorry for being a bit late. I honestly had some second thoughts on coming. But what's the occasion? Why are you inviting me here?" I asked still uncomfortable around MY IDOL'S UNIT.

"We just have some catching-ups to do since it's been a while since we did. Don't worry, they're not sensitive to having other people around. Just feel at home!"

I entered the unit and saw Eunkwang in the kitchen and I guess he's looking for something to cook? 

Memories of me watching how chaotic his cooking using the waffle maker was, suddenly pops in my mind. 

Oh, wait! No! Eunkwang can't cook huhu.

After seconds of contemplating if I should stop him from his plan of cooking, I decided to just let him do what he wants. Besides, I think he can cook instant noodles properly.

"Don't worry. He knows how to cook noodles." Minhyuk suddenly spoke beside me. I guess he saw the confused look on my face.

"No. I'm not worried at all!" I defended. "I just remembered that one clip from Gyang. The one which you left the camera in your kitchen and never returned! HAHAHA! Do you know that I was waiting for the whole duration of the clip! I thought you were going to surprise us at the end but you never came back! HAHAHA!" I added to justify my defense. I guess it works! He looks a bit embarrassed now! HAHA GOTCHA!!

Eunkwang seems to hear us which made him walk towards us and join the fun of teasing Minhyuk.

After a few minutes, we are interrupted from teasing Minhyuk by consecutive doorbells.

"I think they're already here!" Eunkwang shouted excitedly as he walks towards the door. 

Shock is written all over my face as I saw who are the newcomers.

"Oh! We have a guest! Hi! I'm Lee Changsub!" Changsub walks to me and offers his hand. But before I recover he was pushed to move away.

"Hi! I'm Im Hyunsik! Nice to meet you!" 

"Wassup! Peniel! Good to meet you!"

"Ahm hello! I'm... I'm... I'm"

"He's Yook Sungjae. I'm Jung Ilhoon. Nice to meet you!"

Daebak!! If this is just a dream, please don't wake me up! Jebal!!
