"Yah," Sungjin nudged Younghyun. "Yah, wake up."

The younger stirred against his side before snuggling closer to him, humming sleepily.

"Wake up, the van is here," Sungjin tried again.

Younghyun's eyes opened just as the van stopped in front of the house. They had a sleepover at Sungjin's house so they could leave altogether and Younghyun was still sleepy so as they were waiting for the van to be brought by Sungjin's father, he decided to sleep.

At first, he wanted to lie down, since they were waiting by the porch. But Sungjin told him he can lean on him.

Ever since Sungjin said he didn't like having someone that close to him, Younghyun was keeping his distance, carefully so Sungjin wouldn't notice. When he refused to lean on him, Sungjin stared at him until he eventually gave in.

The driver unmounted the van, "Sungjin-ah, who's driving?"

"Mark," Sungjin replied, and his friend smiled at him.

"Okay. Yeojin told you you're in charge, right?" the man nodded at Sungjin.

"Yeah, yeah," Sungjin nodded back obediently.

"You are... 14, Sungjin-ah. I expect 14 people to return, alright?" the man raised a brow.

"Dad, what, do you think we're going to kill each other?" Sungjin chuckled.

"You know the way around our vacation house," the man, apparently Sungjin's father, crossed his arms. "Even when you're always the one who gets lost."

Jaebeom snorted, together with the rest of the group. Younghyun only looked while Sungjin laughed lightly as well.

"I'll keep an eye on everyone," nodded Sungjin.

"Okay. Yeojin!" called his father as he turned around to her. "Keep your curious boyfriend in line or he'll get lost again."

"Dad!" whined Chan. "I know that already!"

The man grinned, "Just reminding. So, may I know who's everyone? Since we're here already. You have plenty of time, anyway. And you have two weeks to stay there."

"You know some of them, right?" Sungjin questioned.

"If by 'some of them' you mean Jaebeom, Mark, and Chan, yes," his father looked at him and Sungjin deadpanned before pointing at two people.

"Those are their boyfriends," Sungjin introduced.

"Oh, you have boyfriends too —"

"No," Mark and Jaebeom answered.

"We're not in a relationship," Jaebeom added.

"Mhm," the father nodded and looked back at the other two. "So, who's who?"

"I'm Wang Jackson," the shorter smiled, bowing a bit.

"Park Jinyoung," the other smiled as well.

"Just call me Jaejin," Sungjin's father said. "And what about the rest of you?"

"That's Jaehyung and Wonpil. They're together. Those four are Dowoon, Youngjae, Yugyeom, and Bambam," Sungjin pointed at each of them.

"Okay. And who's your boyfriend?" Jaejin nodded at Younghyun.

"He's not —"

"Kang Younghyun," muttered Younghyun as he took a step back and bowed a little.

Sungjin glared at the grin on his sister, sighing, "He's not my boyfriend."
