Hello again (Twice x male Y/N) 18+

chapter 4 - it's been a while

A few months had passed by in a blink,

I've settled in nicely with the girls. You know, always cooking,cleaning, trying to keep them in check and also hanging out with them. I've gotten to know them pretty well, getting to know their quirks, habits and even some of their personal secrets they wouldn't share with anyone else.

Me and Sharon have really gotten to making new memories while she caught up with some old ones along the way. Chae's been more open, more funny. It's just great. It just is.

I know Somi's been back for a while, been managing with them to their shows and practices and stuff and I've gotten the hang of it. And, Somi released a new song and we were at some show and I managed to avoid her.

It's not like I want to. Just, more scared.

I don't know what'd I say to her, I don't know if I'd feel angry or sad or just accept it. I don't know even if I've properly moved on, but. I don't think about it as much anymore.

I've kept my hobbies in check, cooking's better too. I get them to help sometimes even with their own insistence though, me and Jeong and Ji have really held our positions in the kitchen. Those two are getting to try out new stuff and new recipes with me and we get the girls to enjoy them too. Chae has been more artsy, more avant-garde as I would put it. She's clingy too, I wouldn't expect her to be since Sharon and Sana's the same and I'm not complaining.

I get Nayeon to go out with Ji to the gym, we keep ourselves fit really. And, it's hot. I'd admit, I'd sneak a few glances here and there and they'd giggle. I blame my sexual urges sometimes but hey, I'm just like any other man and I would admit, I am a bit ashamed.

Momo's great, she's actually really nice to be with. When we're feeling lazy, we'd just snack and watch stuff on the TV and, we're all just opening up to each other and I'd do the same to them. They understand the risks I hold, and I keep it to a minimum when I can.

Dubu's really quiet actually, she's really loud and boisterous on shows and and concerts but once she's here at home or in private. She's just, quiet. And, I'm not to judge but. She's a softie, that's for sure. She's like Tzuyu, but when they talk, it's usually something you'd put your ear to for attention. And I love them for that. They're reserved and it's like Sharon too. Dubu's quiet and yet so attentive like Tzuyu, and they're not ashamed to ask for a bit of attention or comfort from me or anyone else. I wish I was like that too.

Other than shopping with them or doing laundry. It's just like clockwork now, it's life. It's a good change of pace and I've come to enjoy it.

And right now, I got a cup of coffee in my hand, staring right out onto the road watching the cars pass by until I felt a click of fingers making me turn to her.

Mina - hey you okay?

Y/N - I'm okay Sharon, I'm just thinking about Mom

Taking a sip from my cup, she leaned in to avoid her own cup. Putting my cup on the table, she grabbed both of my hands, holding them with worried eyes despite her facemask covering most of her face.

Mina - Why? What happened?

Y/N - Oh, yeah. I never told you, she got lung cancer a while back, and I'm just worried that it'll get worse, I check up on her once a while since then but, I don't know Sharon, maybe I'm just overdoing it right now with the concern

Mina - I'm sorry to hear about that my love, your mom's a strong woman. She'll get through it, but it'll be okay. Just to jog your memory, she used to scream at us from the kitchen while we fought in your bed.

She softly laughed, I could tell she had her gummy smile through it making me give her a soft smile in return, caressing her fingers with my thumb.

Y/N - us fighting does sound right.
