Jihoon hasn't bothered me in a week, which i took as the notion that he listened to Taeyongs words. He was staying at the apartment with me, Jungwoo and Minhee had spent the night out and i didn't want to be alone.

He was still sleeping while i was cooking up breakfast for him. Rice, stew and steamed egg, not forgetting the kimchi or Oijee. Just us two stayed the night but i knew i would be cooking for more too.

Ten and Jeno stayed in a free room, just in case. Taeyong wanted us to be alone in the apartment but still made it so that everyone was protected.

"Smells good." I hear his morning voice, deeper and mor raspy than his talking voice. His arms wrap around my waist, kissing my neck.

"I have a tendency of making too much food." I finish seasoning the broth.

"Take the left overs back to mine, they'd eat all of it." He kisses my neck again, butterflies.

"Who even cooks for all twenty three of you?" I turn the cooker off, turning to face him.

He moved us away from the hot stove, pinning me between him and the island in the middle of the kitchen. "Kun most of the time. But i try and get the younger ones to help him, they're not interested."

"I'll cook you all a meal soon." I smile, he smiles back, effortlessly lifting me up and placing me on the island, he stands between my legs just staring at me.

"I love you." He holds my hips, my heart almost dropping, oh God. I could feel my smile drop too and he smiled at that.

"You're so cute." He leans in. I didn't really know what to do, i'm still lying to him about my entire existence.

I just kiss him, letting him do whatever he wanted to do. "We can skip breakfast." He says between breaths of the kisses.

"I promised Jeno." I pull away from him, resting my forehead against his.

He looks in my eyes then back at my lips, "I should come first."

"You do, but the food will get cold anyway." I jump off the island, "I love you too by the way."

He smiles widely, letting me go as he walks back into the bedroom to call Ten, and i start dishing it all out. I present it on the island, pulling the chairs out. There's only four of us so that's good.

Taeyong helps me out the plates at but answers the door when the doorbell rings. "Oh..." He says confused.

"Hope you made extra." I hear Jisungs voice.

"He insisted and wouldn't leave." Ten walks in, Jeno after him.

"I got you something." Jisung walks up to me, he hands me a bag with a little bow on it. Taeyong walking around to see what it was.

I open it slowly, pulling out a bottle of champagne, "Which one of you bought that for him?" Taeyong looks at Ten and Jeno, both of them shrugging their shoulders.

"I bought it myself." Jisung smiles proudly.

"How?" I set the champagne down on the side.

"I used the, my boss is a gangster card." He looks to Taeyong, "Thank you for being scary."

"Why are you buying my girlfriend gifts?" Taeyong asks him, raises an eyebrow.

"Because. I like her, and she always helps me with my hamsters- i mean hamster, and she's like my sister." He walks to the couch, "Kun already forced me to eat breakfast."

"Hamsters?" Taeyong frowns.

"Eat." I point to the food, Ten already eating. Taeyong sits down and i sit beside him. We all start eating while Jisung watches a romance drama.

"Jisung you can have some if you want some." Taeyong says, shoving his mouth full of Kimchi.

"No, i'm good." He keeps staring at the TV.

"So... whatd you do to him?" Ten asks, pointing at Taeyong. "He's never in this much of a good mood."

"None of your business." Taeyong sips from his water, "Did any of you happen to bring spare clothes though?"

"You knew you were staying the night and still didn't bring a change of clothes?" I look at his shirtless body.

"Was occupied thinking about other stuff." He clears his throat while smirking. "Do you?"

"Yeah." Jeno points to his bag.

"Thank you for breakfast." He gets up, gonna shower." He kisses my lips and walks off into my room.

"So what did you do?" Jeno asks, "And how long will it last, because now if the perfect time to ask him if we can get a dog."

"Why doesn't he like pets?" I ask.

"Not quite sure." Ten piles all the plates on each other, "We can clean up."

"Oh it's all good." I stand up too.

"Please let us." He smiles, i nod and walk over to Jisung.

"I'm thinking about getting the tattoo." He said, "Where though?"

"You have to be twenty-three." Jeno shouts.

"Wait until you're old enough." I look at the TV, "What are you watching?"

"Love alarm, Can i ask you a question?"

"Go for it."

"Do you have any friends my age, i still haven't had my first kiss yet." He says which made me, along with the other two laugh. "Hey stop laughing i'm being serious."

"I don't, i'm sorry." I cover my mouth, "You'll find someone one day though, you're still young."

"That's what everyone says." He sighs, "Anyways can i have some of the champagne?"

"Taeyong would kill me." I get a phone call. I look at the unknown number and walk into Minhees bedroom to answer it.

"Hello?"

"It's your dad. I was wondering if you had any information for us? All the gangs have been a little quiet recently." He asks, so he's calling me from burner phones now?

"I haven't got any news, they've all been relaxing recently, is this the number i should call you on if i get news?" I ask.

"No. If you get news, call my normal number. This is for it to not be so noticeable. How are you doing? I heard Jihoons in a gang." He said.

Knowing he genuinely asked how i was was very refreshing for me.

"Actually i do have news. Jihoon came into the bar and made a reference to mom and the other women that were murdered. If you could look into that, it would mean a lot. His gang might have something to do with it." It's my only mission to know who killed my mother.

"I will do, how's Taeyong? Have you been allowed access to the rest of the building other than his bedroom? I need cameras planted."

"Dad i told you Taeyongs really strict with where i go. He's a private person."

"Okay. I'll call again soon. Be safe." He hangs up. I walk out to Taeyong cleaning Jisungs face.

"Everything okay?" He asks me.

"Yeah, it was my boss. She wanted to know if i could work today." I lie, feeling horrible as i sit on the other couch. "what happened?"

"He got a nose bleed." Taeyong looks around Jisungs face, "Whatd you say?

"No." I'm going to tell Taeyong tonight.
