"Uhm. Just me, Minho, Changbin, and Hyunjin--" Chan starts before he's cut short by the other.

"NOPE! NEVERMIND. NO ONE'S COMING OVER. YA'LL CAN BE LONERS FOR ALL WE CARE!" Jisung snap.

"I was going to mention Hyunjin would be coming over but I thought I'd let you figure it out yourself," Seungmin chuckles.

"You guys really Hyunjin, huh?" I say. They turn to me in shock.

"Hello?? Have you forgotten what that asshole has done to you??" Seungmin yells.

"Guys, just let it pass. He's already apologised. Forgiving isn't really a big deal," I shrug.

"I can forgive anyone, Lix. I even forgave Jeongin when he stole MY cheesecake. And you know how hard it is for me to forgive someone for stealing MY cheesecake. But the line is crossed when it comes to Hyunjin," Jisung argues. Jeongin doesn't say anything.

"But what he did to me, doesn't affect you guys. So even if I forgive him, and continue to hang out with him, you guys can't stop me," I point out.

"Then you can't stop us from killing him, can you?" Seungmin mutters.

"Guys, seriously! This is absurd! At Least let him prove himself!" I shout.

"Jeongin, knock some sense into Felix!" Seungmin shouts.

"... I'm kinda on Lix's side for this one. I mean, sure Hyunjin hurt Lix, but be practical. Hyunjin has probably apologized countless times and I'm sure he's realized what he's done!" Jeongin explains.

"But--"

"I think we should let it slide," Jeongin says.

"Fine. If he makes ONE wrong move, he'll end up in the hospital, even worse, in a grave," Jisung snaps.

"I'm not happy with this..." Seungmin mutters.

"Anyway, it's fine Chan. You guys can come over," Jeongin says.

"Are you sure...? Based on that conversation we just heard--" Chan starts.

"What do you mean 'we'??" Seungmin interrupts.

"Minho, Changbin, and Hyunjin... they were kinda right next to me..." Chan chuckles.

"What?" I mumble.

"At least Hyunjin knows how much we hate him," Jisung says.

"Guys! Enough!" Jeongin grumbles, "That's fine, Chan. Come over whenever."

"Alright! We'll head over now!" he exclaims. Jeongin puts down the phone to be met with an irritated Seungmin and Jisung.

"I did NOT agree to this," Seungmin mutters.

"It should be fine--" Jeongin sighs but is cut off by a ringing bell.

"Who--?" Jisung asks, opening the door to be met with Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, and Minho.

"Sungie!" Minho yells, engulfing Jisung in a tight hug, lifting him off the ground as Jisung struggles out of his grip.

"Jesus christ, Minho! You're squeezing too tight!" Jisung whines.

"I'm sorry babe," Minho pouts, dropping him back down.

"Channie!" Jeongin greets, latching himself onto his boyfriend like a koala. Chan wraps his arms around Jeongin, protectively.

"At this point, I wouldn't even think you're dating. Rather, it looks like you're father and son," I scoff, side-eyeing the couple. Jeongin rolls his eyes as he breaks the hug.

"You're just sad you don't have anyone to hug!" Jeongin teases.

"Mhm... sure I don't," I smirk, turning to Seungmin, "Minnie!"

[a/n: yes, Minnie will be Seungmin's nickname. It is NOT Minho's]

Seungmin appears beside me.

"Yeah?"

"Can I hug you?" I pout. Seungmin giggles.

"Is that even a question to ask?" Seungmin says, wrapping his arms around me. I turn to Jeongin, sticking out my tongue.

"If Hyunjin doesn't claim you, I bet Seungmin will," Jeongin snorts. I turn pink but it quickly dissipates.

"I mean, who wouldn't want Lix?? He's perfect boyfriend material! Stunning hair, beautiful freckles, bright smile, adorable features, amazing fashion style, and exceptional basketball skills! Back in Australia, girls were all over him! Even the boys were crazy for him!" Seungmin laughs. I burrow my flustered face into his shoulder. Seungmin ruffles my hair, and I grin at him in response, both of us completely unaware of the jealous figure in the background who looked like he was about to snap.

"Minnie let go of Felix before Hyunjin decides to plan your funeral," Jisung whispers to Seungmin in a worried tone. Seungmin and I turn to look at Hyunjin who's clenching his knuckles. I immediately jumped out of Seungmin's grasp and ran to the kitchen.

"Oh hey hyung," I say to Changbin who's placed himself on the bench top.

"Hey Lix, doesn't Jeongin own this house?" he asks me.

"Yeah!" I nod.

"Jesus! It's huge!" Changbin exclaims. I laugh.

"Yup! It's incredibly huge! I could play hide and seek like a hundred times because there are so many rooms and halls," I giggle.

"Hey, that's a wonderful idea! Why don't we??" Changbin smiles. I nod eagerly as we both rush back to the lounge.

"GUYS! GREAT IDEA! We still have a while before dinner and stuff, so me and Changbin were thinking about playing hide and seek!" I exclaim.

"Or we could play Hide N' Seek Tip! Where you hide from the person who is in but if they find you, you need to try and run away, if you're successful, you hide once again! But if you are tipped, then you're also in and you're supposed to try and catch the other players!" Changbin adds.

"Sounds fun! Let's give it a shot!" Chan nods.

"I haven't played Hide N' Seek in a long time!" Jisung chuckles.

"BAGS NOT IN!" I shout, crossing my arms across my chest. Jisung and Seungmin yell it out right after, followed by Jeongin, Changbin, and Chan, leaving Minho and Hyunjin in confusion.

"What?" Minho asks.

"You're going to find us!" Jeongin yells, "You two didn't say 'bags not in' so it means you have to look for us!"

"Argh! Fine!" Hyunjin grumbles.

"Okay, the rules are: 1 - the boundary is within the house, so you can't step outside of the house, the garden is okay but stay in the fences, 2 - if you've been caught by whoever is in, you must not lie and join them, 3 - no more than two players can hide in the same spot, 4 - no violence permitted, 5 - don't break any objects," Chan instructs.

"Dude, this isn't even your house. Why are you so worried about our safety and for the house?" Changbin chuckles.

"Because I said so," Chan snaps.

"Alright DAD," Seungmin scoffs, rolling his eyes.

"Shut it Seungmin," Chan grumbles.

"Okay, Minho and Hyunjin, count to thirty, the rest of us will go and hide. Come find us!" Jisung says. Minho and Hyunjin cover their eyes and start counting. Me and Jisung head towards the kitchen while everyone else disperses elsewhere.
