Torn Between: (discontinued! Read Under Wraps for new story)

Chapter 24: Pest Control

*Sophie's POV*

It had been two days since DongWoon had woken up and he was allowed home tonight. I'd prepared a huge batch of lasagna and seven double chocolate chip muffins. All I had done for these two days was sleep, the only time I woke up was to eat and have a wash. The guys weren't home often which meant I had their huge house to myself.

I was in the kitchen in Yoseob's pyjamas and slippers making myself a ham bagel when I heard the front door open. Gikwang walked into the kitchen, HyunSeung trailing in behind him shortly after. "Morning Soph," HyunSeung greeted grabbing an apple out of the fruit bowl and taking a large bite. "I'm going to the convenience store, do you want anything?"

I thought about it. "Can you get me some cocoa powder, I've ran out and want to make brownies."

"Sure," he smiled and slapped the back of Gikwang's head. "Come on you, I'm going now." Gikwang groaned and threw the bagel he'd pulled out back into the bag. He stomped behind his hyung and I felt sorry for him.

"I'll make you one for when you get back, oppa." He smiled at me and walked out the front door.

*HyunSeung's POV*

I drove in the car to the local convenience store with Gikwang at my side moaning about how hungry he was. I parked at the back of the shop and walked around to the front, Gikwang following me. As soon as we stepped through the doors people stopped and stared, but because we were so used to it it didn't bother us anymore.

"Hyung, can I have some ice-cream?" Gikwang asked. Being the second oldest was stupid. They called me the mother of the group because I have a pretty face. I'm nobody's mother, but I felt like it with these lot."

"You've already got some at home." I picked up two cardboard tubes of cocoa power and threw them into the basket Gikwang had grabbed.

"No I haven't," he grumbled kicking one of the displays. "Yoseob ate it all."

I turned to look at his frowning face. "Are you going to pay for it?" I asked and raised an eyebrow.

Gikwang looked at his feet as shook his head. "I didn't bring any money with me."

"Then no, you can't have any." I knew he was going to argue back so I silenced him and sternly said, "End of." He sulked and wrapped his arms across his chest. Now I understand why I'm the mum.

I grabbed two size packs of cider from the fridge, three bottles of white wine and a bottle of Smirnoff Ice because I remember Sophie sayin she liked it. Gikwang was still moping. He was fiddling with some of the chocolate bars on a shelf when he filled off the plastic that stopped then from sliding off and everything on that row dropped to the floor, creating a mountain of confectionary at his feet. He picked everything up and stuffed it on the shelf but when it fell off again he became agitated.

"For Christ sake." I snatched the plastic stopper off him and reattached it and he messily organised everything back. I turned around shaking my head and I was blinded by a bright white light. I closed my eyes and covered my face. The lifts went off again and it was then that I realised it was a camera. Paparazzi. There was at least 10 of them and I could no longer see clearly. They all threw questions at me, mainly about DongWoon.

"What's happened to DongWoon?"

"Where is he?"

"Is he ill?"

"We've heard rumours that he has caught aids from a mysterious girl, is this true?"

I paused. Who the fuck said that, why is it whenever somebody is ill they immediately think of the stupid idea that they have aids? That's what you do in highschool to tease friends, not at this age. "It's none of your business!" I turned and walked towards the checkouts.
