Hybrid - NCT dream ( HRJ; LDH)

slow

Seol was once again the first to wake up, involuntary though. Having gone to sleep in sweatpants and a hoodie, being sandwiched between the bodies of her two soulmates made the heat unbearable as the sun started rising. Not to mention Hyuck himself being like a sun too, or rather a heater.

Careful not to wake up the two sleeping beauties, Seol untangled their limbs and stepped over Renjun's cocoon into freedom. As her space freed up, she watched in amusement how her tan friend sprawled out, tummy slightly peeking from underneath his shirt.

She took her toiletries and some clothes before going to the bathrooms to wash up. Applying lipgloss, a thin layer of sunscreen and pulling her long hair into a bun concluded her look for the day. Finishing it with her glasses, so that she could actually see, her OOTD was done.

Seol dropped her stuff back at their place before picking up her wallet and phone, and walking down to the small coffeeshop beside the restaurant. Ordering a tall black coffee and some pastries for breakfast, she sat down at a table enjoying the smell of the sea.

Even after finishing her breakfast and returning the two men were fast asleep. Letting out a sigh she gently nudged the taller one until he opened one of his eyes, annoyed at having been woken up. "Car keys?"

"Mmm...left pocket..." Was all that he said before burying his face into the blanket and falling back asleep. Seol found the keys and grabbed her purse, off to buy some seafood.

The small seafood market was buzzing with local people, as the fishermen had brought out today's catch. Watching in amazement how diverse each stall was, she couldn't help but want to get a little of everything. A kind lady offered to help her choose, and even gave Seol a box with ice for keeping all her groceries fresh.

After thanking the lady and loading the well wrapped heavy box into the trunk of Hyuck's car she made her way back to the camp. Struggling with the heavy packet she had to stop a few times, before entering their temporary home and letting the box drop with a loud thud.

"Where did you go?... And what's that?" Renjun's eyes poked out from the blanket, squinting as he tried to see what she brought. "Went to the market to get ingredients for lunch." She sighed before sprawling out on the floor, already drained from her trip.

"Why didn't you wake me up? That looks heavy..."

"A kind lady helped me load it into the trunk so it wasn't that bad, but man is the parking area far from here."

"I hope you didn't wreck my car." Hyuck's head popped up from behind Renjun, laying across the bed and using the other as pillow. "Nah, just let it accidentally roll down the ramp into the sea a bit." She smiled as he let his head dangle upside down, forehead exposed from his hair falling down.

"So, mind telling us what you got?"

"A few squids and octopuses, clams, mussels, a few medium sized crabs, couple of fresh abalones, sea squirts, two flatfish, and three crayfish." She tried remembering everything as she listed the food she has bought, making the two men look at her in disbelief.

"Did you leave anything for other people back there?" Renjun asked while eyeing the carrier sized box that seemed to be packed full with food. "I only bought a bit, and I don't know if it'll be enough."

"Are you planning to feed an army or something?" Hyuck, who had by now slowly slipped off the bed to the floor beside the girl, asked amused by her answer.

"Well, it was supposed to be for Renjun's and my families, but after you arrived I can't leave your family out either. So to answer your question, yes, I'm feeding an army, more specifically a Lee army of hungry kids." She added, making both nod in acknowledgement, before Hyuck's stomach started rumbling.

"I guess it's time for breakfast." He exclaimed as he stood up and started checking what was left to eat. "What about ramyeon with some fried pork neck? We shouldn't leave any of the meat since it's going to be too hot in the car later. Receiving the go, he pulled out everything and started preparing the food.

"Won't you go wash up first? Or at least take off that hoodie?" Seol glanced up at his figure leaned over the gas stove, feeling the heat radiating all the way to her. Renjun had already left to change, wanting to look at least somewhat presentable.

"I'll change after I finish food." A hum of agreement was heard, before the silence once again engulfed them. "Were you able to sleep well last night?"

"Yeah... surprisingly well... I don't know if it was the alcohol we had or just the bond, but I haven't had such a great sleep in ages."

"Oh good! I was worried we'd end up suffocating you in our sleep, or squishing you to death. But I'm glad... I also had a good rest despite the heat making us sweat buckets in the morning." He chuckled as he flipped the piece of meat over again.

"I'll take over from here, and you should wash up because you reek." Renjun pushed the pudu away and took his place by the stove after returning from the washroom.

Seol set their table and left to buy coffee again, making the barista recognise her and receive a small discount. Walking back, passing the building with the washrooms she heard a small voice call her and turned around to meet the little boy.

"Pretty Miss! Good morning!" The boy beamed while still wearing his cute pororo pajamas. "Good morning to you too! Did you just wake up?" A small nod followed suit, before he asked her to lean closer. "Miss, did you manage to break the curse? Is that mean Mister good again?"

"Mhmm. With the help of that mister we managed to break the curse, and scare away the evil queen." She smiled gently, earning a small 'yay' before a new voice spoke up. "What are you two up to?"

"Childish Mister! Pretty Miss just told me how she was no longer cursed!" The man scrunched up his nose at the new nickname, not exactly an improvement from the previous one but he won't complain to a five year old. "Mhmm, she's all cured now."

Donghyuck ruffled the boy's hair before the kid ran off to his dad, waving them goodbye. Feeling a nudge to his shoulder he saw Seol offer him a cup of iced coffee, perfect to wake him up properly. "The kid's actually nice when you are around."

"I wish I could say the same for you, but hopefully it will change in the future." Seol smiled as she felt his arm around her shoulders, reminding her of their good old days. Returning back, the three started their breakfast, planning out the rest of their day.

"Mom agreed on having dinner together, and even offered to host it since my brothers are quite a handful." Hyuck told the two as they packed up, ready to leave for home. Leaning down to lift the cooling box he groaned at its weight, surprised by the fact that Seol was able to carry it on her own. "This is as heavy as my little brother!"

"At least now you'll appreciate my efforts." Seol remarked as she zipped up the entrance and followed her two soulmates to the car. Settling inside and turning up the AC Donghyuck started the engine, and off they were.
