[SVT] SEVENTEEN Fanfiction || G.A.M.E.S : Gotta MakE it and Survive

CHAPTER 13

"I want to join the competition with you," he replied.

I gazed back at Mingyu, speechless, staring at him in disbelief. While I was honored that he came up to me to inquire, it did make me wonder why I was the first person he approached.

"They can't cook as well as you do," he replied, before going on to discuss the sweets and breakfasts I'd made for them in the past inside the gaming realm.

The flavor lingered with him, and he enjoyed cooking with me because, apparently, I wasn't as difficult to cook with as the other members of Seventeen.

"I'm delighted with that compliment, but..."

"Please!" he begged, clasping his hands together, "just this competition, then I won't budge you anymore."

His request sounded eager, and he looked at me with those hopeful eyes.

I averted eye contact as quickly as possible since I didn't want to be affected by it. Knowing myself, it was tough for me to refuse a favor from someone I care about.

Especially from people who approached me first to beg for my assistance, despite the fact that there are other people who could assist them with their tasks.

I sighed as I gently returned my gaze to Mingyu. "Fine," I answered, "but just this once."

He huffed in relief as he smiled with delight at my response.

"Yes, thank you!" he exclaimed as he warmly shook my hands with his. Suddenly, as he celebrated with a wiggle, there was another ring from the doorbell.

Mingyu and I exchanged puzzled stares before proceeding to the front door. I glanced through the peephole once more and spotted Jeonghan on the other side. He appeared agitated.

I quickly opened the door, and his mood softened when he saw me.

"I apologize for disturbing you at this hour, but by any chance did Min—" His statement was cut short when he recognized Mingyu behind me. "Kim Mingyu," he angrily yelled out to the boy.

The chef gasped in terror when he discovered it was Jeonghan.

"Hyung!" he exclaimed.

"Didn't we tell you not to bother her?" the clown chastised him.

I instantly butted in and told him that he wasn't bothering me and that everything was fine. He was also quite obedient and didn't make a mess inside.

I then gestured to him to enter, but he rejected it, stating that it was already late and that they needed to get some beauty sleep for the night.

Jeonghan apologized once again as they both bowed after capturing Mingyu.

As they walked away, the youngster exclaimed, "Yumi, don't forget about the promise!"

"Hey, she's older than you! Call her with respect!" The elder screamed back.

I bid them a good night and waved softly as they ascended the steps back to their dorm. Assuring him that the promise will not be broken

[AUTHOR'S P.O.V]

The clown's quiet scolding filled the trip back to their unit. When they entered and strolled to the living room, they discovered the other members watching a movie while waiting for Jeonghan to pick up Mingyu.

"By looking at Jeonghan Hyung's expression, Mingyu went to Yumi's unit, didn't he?" Jihoon accurately surmised, and hearing how the musician addressed her annoyed the clown slightly.
