When you walk into your apartment, you expect disaster or at least a mess that'll take ages to clean up. Instead, you find everything is neat and tidy to an almost suspicious degree. You're certain your apartment wasn't this clean when you left it, which only makes your suspicions grow.
You don't call out as you move further into the living room, because you want to catch Sangyeon and your little brother doing whatever they're doing in the act. They've got to be up to something. The only thing that greets you, though, is silence… until you hear it. Sangyeon's voice pleading with your brother.
"Please, don't," you hear an edge to his voice that isn't usually there. "I've already cleaned up all the other messes, and your -"
A crash cuts off his words and you quickly round the corner to the kitchen where the sound came from. There, you find your younger brother standing on the table with a devilish smile on his face, Sangyeon standing in front of him staring down at the floor, and tomato sauce… everywhere. Literally everywhere.
A whine erupts from Sangyeon as he flails his body. When you get a better look at him, you see his hair is sticking up in various directions and his shirt has various stains on it. You've never seen him this unkempt and you laugh before you can stop yourself.
Sangyeon whirls around to face you with a guilty expression while your brother waves at you from atop the table. "Hey! You're home!"
"Mhmm," you put your stuff down on the counter and survey the scene. "Having fun?"
"Yeah! Totally! This was just an accident," he says, waving at the mess on the floor. When you eye his clothes with an arched brow, his body slumps. "Okay… there might have been a few accidents."
"Sangyeon told me not to tell you about the gum!" Your brother helpfully adds from his perched position.
When you look at Sangyeon, his face pales and you ask, "What gum?"
