Deja Vu // Ateez

Four

<•>

Hongjoong woke up to someone lightly shaking him. His eyes fluttered open and met with Mingi looking down at him, the taller looking more sleepy than him with how messy his hair was. It poked out on every side of his head, making Hongjoong smile silently at it.

"We're here. San and Yunho went to meet the couple. Yunho said we'd like them, but I'm still iffy about all of them." His voice rasped, sounding like he just smoked a cigarette.

Hongjoong let out a yawn and stretched out his stiff body. "Let's go meet the couple then."

Mingi groaned mentally before the two headed off to the little cabin. It's not that he hated them, or he just won't say it out loud, but Mingi had his reasons to not trust anyone other then Hongjoong, and the older wouldn't blame him for it either.

"San!" A high pitched voice yelled out to him. A short boy with brown hair and blonde highlights came running into him, hugging tightly. "I was wondering when you and Yunho we're gonna come by again."

Hongjoong watched the interaction between the two. The way they hugged each other told Hongjoong that the two were very close.

"Hi Woo." San playfully messed up the youngers hair, making the shorter boy whine.
Wooyoung then turned towards him and smiled. "Hi! You must me Hongjoong and Mingi right?"

"Yes. You must be Wooyoung. The nice one, right." Hongjoong smiled when Wooyoung turned to San and hit him. "He's not that bad, Sannie. You just like to be dramatic, like always."

"Not that bad? Every word I say he always disagrees with." The pink boy said, a small pout coming into his lips as he threw a small tantrum, hands flying at his sides lightly.

Wooyoung just shook his head, deciding to ignore his dramatic friend. "Please, come inside and feel free to make this your home for a while. And you get to meet Jongho!"

San groaned softly. "Oh how great."

"I know you two has had a rough past, but I promise you he'll behave," Wooyoung said, then he turned towards Hongjoong with a contagious smile, showing off his bright white teeth.

Wooyoung was the most energetic person Hongjoong and Mingi has ever come across in a world like this, and to be honest, it warmed up their hearts with how there were still people with bright spirits in a time like this.

San gave a fake smile, causing Hongjoong to hold in his laugh. San turned to him and sent him a slight glare with a small smirk on his face. "You're most likely to get a load of bitchy Jongho here real soon as well."

"Who knows, it might just be you he hates." Hongjoong said with a smile tugging at his lips. Mingi snickered beside him and put a hand over his mouth to hide the smile.

"Not with y'alls attitude, I don't see you lasting a day here before you come to me and beg me to take you away."

Wooyoung had moved over who had a slight glare at San. "San, you better behave as well or I'm going to cook you. Don't test me."

San instantly stopped laughing and scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry, Woo."

The four made their way inside and joined the two in the living room. Wooyoung walked over to Jongho and sat on his lap, making the younger smile up at him.
