Favorite Crime | Lee Taeyong x reader

honey, i'm hooomeeee!

Midterms flew by and before you knew it, it was your winter break.

Taeyong and you went back home together. You always did, for spring break and winter break.

The world had placed the two of you together and it was destined to stay that way forever, not that you minded. It was way less daunting going home alone and every time you did it, the two of you would usually visit the places you used to go to.

Getting out of the cab, you stretched your hands over your head. You were standing on the pathway of your childhood home, looking at the structure before turning back and getting your suitcases from behind. Taeyong took his own suitcase out, standing next to you.

His house was a little further away, so the two of you decided to stop by your place first. Your parents loved him, so there was no thought needed in the decision. You knocked on the door, waiting for your mother to emerge.

You missed your family when you were at college, but considered yourself extremely lucky because you weren't completely alone in your freshman year, you had him right beside you.

And she did, opening the door and exclaiming happily at the sight of you and Taeyong and launching straight into her motherly discourse, asking if the two of you had been eating properly, how midterms went, and if you were sleeping enough. You chose to avoid the last question expertly, elbowing Taeyong when he tried to expose you.

He wasn't happy about it, but shut up for your sake, munching on the cookie in silence.

A few moments later you found yourself sitting on the kitchen island, suitcases still by the entrance and a plate of christmas cookies in front of you. It was a nice change from the usual cup noodles and cereal.

Biting the cookie, you savored the frosting on top, while Taeyong sat beside you. Your mother smiled at the two of you, pushing a cup full of milk for you to dip the cookies into.

"Shouldn't you go home dear?" She asked Taeyong who nodded, "Yeah, I'll be going now., Thanks Auntie." Your mother smiled at this.

"Oh I'll come with you, I wanna say hi to Mrs. Lee and your sister," you said, pushing yourself off the stool. "I'll be back for dinner Mom."

She nodded, kissing your cheek and holding Taeyongs face in her hands while she told him how handsome he was, even more so than the last time, before letting the two of you go.

His house was as warm and welcoming as ever, and almost like a repeat of events as she took the two of you in and took it up as her new purpose to feed you. You didn't know if you'd be able to have dinner later at all.

His older sister came down and caught up with you, and you filled her in on Taeyong's perpetual clumsiness. His mother asked him about his love life, to which he turned three different shades of red while informing her he was still very much single.

You knew she would pester him later about always having the same answer to the question, speculating that he had a secret girlfriend and didn't want to tell her. He would then swear that didn't, using your presence as backup.

And thus started your winter break, surrounded by loved ones. With cookies and milk, with going to buy presents and wrapping them.

And amongst all the chaos and noise, you realized that you were once again home, not physically in your apartment back at your campus, but right where you were. With the people you had grown up with, right next to your best friend.
