seventy four.

"Where's Y/N?" Kyungsoo asked while chopping some ingredients at the chop board, busy preparing for dinner.

"Still having a tour with Baekhyun around the house. She's repeatedly amazed so I guess we must praise the interior designer," Minseok answered nonchalantly, drinking a glass of water. "Hmm. Cooking once again for dinner. I almost missed that."

"Shut up. Just admit that you missed my cooking skills." Kyungsoo glanced at his brother before chuckling playfully. "I'm mostly doing this for Y/N."

"Say no more. Baekhyun don't even know what place he's touring for Y/N because he never really roamed around this place. But he's doing it for Y/N." Minseok rolled his eyes sassily. "Seeing my brothers who were once just full of anger at that girl is now risking it all. Funny." 

"As if you didn't drove all the way when she called drunk." Kyungsoo pointed, along with the sizzle of the pan.

"That one's dangerous, seriously. Some random guy might've took advantage of her." Minseok decided to assist Kyungsoo while talking. "Is this the seasoning you're supposed to use?"

"Yeah. Just a teaspoon." The younger man mumbled, looking at the dish infront of him along with the smoke floating. "Did Namjoon already contacted us?"

"Not yet." Minseok scratched his chin, reflecting into some moments.

While the two are busy preparing food, you are focused on learning their new home.

But, apparently, Baekhyun decided to just pull you into pool area and chill on there, having no energy to even show you their underground and rooftop.

He passed you some iced tea on which you received, getting cozy into your comfortable sweatpants and oversized shirts.

"Should we invite Mrs. Yoon for dinner? I heard Kyungsoo is cooking, which doesn't happen commonly." Baekhyun opened up the moment he sat in his chair.

"I already asked her. I said atleast tonight and she didn't think she could actually come so I just let her be." You blinked your eyelids, gazing at the night stars that reflects at the pool of water infront of you.

Baekhyun tilted his head, examining your emotions through your expressions. "Would it be better.. if you should just stayed with her? Atleast it's still safe, right?"

"It's okay." You chuckled lightly. Despite the smileys getting drawn, a big chip of sadness slid down in your heart. "Even back then, she would let me stay with Taehyung and Jimin's place, since they are basically sharing a place. She'd prefer me there and I understand that she only meant for me to be safe so.. I guess that's her intention after all."

"What is Mrs. Yoon doing? I mean, she's always distant at you?" Baekhyun scrunched his cheeks gently, confused with what he is hearing.

"There's no hard feelings to take. She's been like that even before being involved with all this stuff. I've been used to that kind of my mom and she's been used to that kind of me. That's her thing and I'm good with it. I might cringe seeing her turn all sweet and all." You shrugged, looking at Baekhyun and puckering your lips into a taunting manner. "Told you. I'm a lot more closer to my dad even if he sold me for paying a debt."

Baekhyun immediately stood up and walked towards the same seat you are sitting on. You watched him with a mixture of confusion and amusement.

He jumped on your seat by squeezing himself on the remaining inch space. He then wrapped his arms reassuringly around your waist, his hands intertwining each other to lock it around yours, before resting his cheeks on your shoulders — all in return to make your heart skip a beat.
