Dancing Hearts

Chapter 15

The next morning I am woken up early by snoring on both sides of me. I find myself resting my head against Channie's strong back, my arm draped over his. He is snoring loudly, stopping every so often to mumble incoherently. I chuckle as I lightly kiss his back, inhaling his scent. He responds with a loud, contentful sigh. I gently remove my arm to lean up to look over him. I see Han is flat on his back, mouth open, and breathing heavily. Every now and then he smacks his lips as if he is eating something delicious. Food is definitely Quokka's love language. I then look to my right to see Felix snoring on his side facing me. I move a strand of hair out of his eyes so that I can kiss his forehead, causing him to smile in his sleep. On the other side of him, Hyunjin is facing the opposite direction and wrapped up in the covers like a cocoon. I slowly try to crawl out of the covers to prevent waking the guys up, surprisingly I am successful. I walk over to Jinnie and crouch down in front of him. He has his lips poked out and frowning in his sleep. I very softly kiss his puckered lips. In response, he grins slyly and then rolls on his back. I grab my phone off the charger on the dresser. I point the phone at them to take a quick picture. Then I grab my robe and slippers, closing the door behind me softly.

I make my way downstairs to the large kitchen. I unlock my phone to open my Spotify app. I start the "Stray Kids Discography" playlist that I found one night. I play it softly while I make myself a cappuccino on the Keurig. I take a large sip as I also fill up the electric kettle. I then go to the pantry to see if there are ingredients to make homemade biscuits. I excitedly get the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then I grab the butter and milk out of the fridge. I don't find a biscuit cutter so I use a small glass to make the biscuits. I preheat the oven and then set to make the dough. Once the dough is made I clean the wood countertop so I can work the dough. I throw some flour down as I am shaking my ass to My Pace. I easily work the dough and then cut out the biscuits. There will be plenty for the boys and staff. I grab two baking sheets and put them in the oven for 10-12 minutes.

I clean the countertop and wash dishes while the biscuits are baking. That's when Spotify recommends (G)I-DLE's "Queencard". I start dancing along with my back to the phone. All of a sudden the volume is turned up. I turn around to see Binnie dressed for the day and grinning. He can't resist a girl group dance trend. We both move around the island and start dancing. He is laughing his typical high-pitched laugh and I am trying to keep up with the moves. He crinkles his nose as he watches me struggling to keep up. When the song ends we collide into each other.

"Oh my gawd, that was so fun," I say laughing.

"You did good Noona," Binnie says. "What are you doing up so early?" I make snoring noises as a response. Binnie nods his head. "Yeah, SnoreRACHA is no joke. What are you making? It smells amazing."

"I have scratch biscuits in the oven and was going to make omelets once everyone was up," I say.

"Everyone will like that. I really am glad my brothers have you in their lives," he says sweetly. I lean up against the island to smile brightly at him.

"Thanks, Binnie," I say, trying not to tear up. "That means a lot to hear. I never really talked with the rest of you to see if you guys were okay with everything. Knowing and approving are two totally different things." He comes to lean up against the island next to me.

"It's really not our place to say if we approve or not," he starts. "But we are happy that they are happy. So answering your implied question, we approve." He grins broadly as he picks me up to put me in a bear hug.

"What's approved?" Felix says deeply. Binnie puts me down so I can check on the biscuits. "Morning Binnie." I chuckle at how deep Felix's voice is when he first wakes up. He comes up behind me to give me a hug after I have closed the oven. "You're up early. Snoring?" I nod my head as I lean into him. I look over at Binnie who is smiling sweetly at us.
