"Dino, come here. Have a bite."

You soak the tteok into the sauce then slowly bring it closer to Dino's mouth. He caught the dripping sauce with his palm as he eat it in one big bite.

"Here, some meat too." With the same chopstick you take a piece of grilled beef and feed him.

"Thangs nuhna--" He blow some air to cool down the hot meat in his mouth, giving you a thumb up the go back to wipe the dusts off your book case.

Initially, some of the members had plans to celebrate your discharge from the hospital with dinner at your place. However, when you unlock the apartment, the plan changes drastically to just doing chores. It was terrible how dusty the place got after being abandoned for almost two months.

Feeling guilty, you've offered them to eat outside instead, saying you'll order a cleaning service later. But they refused.

That basically sums up the current situation. They were divided into groups to clean different places. Dino and Vernon are cleaning out your book collection. Joshua and Dokyeom took turns vacuuming and mopping the floor. Since Mingyu was the tallest, he was in charge of cleaning every top of your tall furniture. Meanwhile Seungkwan was rearranging your fridge.

Unable to do anything without getting in their way, you decided to order some foods in hope to redeem your guilt. Feeding them one by one in turn, or they simply come to you and ask for some.

"Me too, me too." Mingyu lowered his mask--asking for some tteok. He pointed at the biggest piece of meat after that.

"To be honest if it wasn't yours I would have burned this whole fridge." Seungkwan with his side eye glared at you, dragging a fully loaded trash bag towards the exit, "Why did you buy so many if you're not gonna use them anyway!?" He continued after he return.

"I planned to cook." With a shy grin you offer Seungkwan some tteok.

"Tch.. Just order, order foods from now on." He emphasize every words while clicking his tongue, "Imagine if your mom sees this when she arrived later."

"Right, is Jeonghan picking her up now?" Joshua put the vacuum back to the cabinet. He grab a bottle of cold water he put inside your fridge earlier. Luckily Seungkwan didn't throw it away.

"Uh.. Yes. Jeonghan and Seungcheol are picking her up." The way you flustered when Jeonghan's name was mentioned caught Seungkwan's attention.

While the others are busy with their chores, Seungkwan came closer to sit on your small round dining table while smiling slyly. He grab a new pair of chopstick to eat since he's already done cleaning your fridge.

"What..?" You asked, avoiding his eyes.

"How was it?" His eyes that are staring at you twinkle in anticipation.

"How was what?"

"Your Christmas with Jeonghan. What else?" His grin grows wider as he teases you.

"It was okay-- Oh yes, yes, you can drink it. Grab anything you want." You said to Vernon who asked for your permission to drink the energy drink Seungkwan left in your fridge. 

Seungkwan didn't buy it. He still has his suspicious look while scooping some of the tteok sauce to be mixed with rice. He then walk to your kitchen cabinet to grab a spoon before walking back to you. Hand stirring, eyes squinting.

"Seeing how red your face is right now there's no way it was just okay." He take a spoonful of the well mixed rice then point his spoon at you, "Did you guys kiss?" His voice got smaller at the question.
