Step Brothers || A SKZ FF

XXVI

You went back to Lee Mansion almost after 10 days as your mother had already left the country with Mr Lee last week. The boys were overjoyed at your decision that two of them came to pick you up from Wonwoo's despite your resistance. "So, you hungry? Should we grab something?" Hyunjin asked and you shook your head, "I'm good!" He nodded as you turned back to the conversation you had going on with Jisung.

"Ahh took you long enough," Jongin glared at his hyungs as he picked you up from the ground. "And you young lady, I missed you!" He pursed his lips for a kiss and you boped his nose with yours. "You young man, should put me down! And about the kiss, we will decide later," He lets go of you with a pout and a Sneaky Seungmin playfully steals a kiss wrapping his hands around your waist. But he was shoved to the corner by Changbin who placed himself on the crook of your neck with a satisfied smile. "Aren't you guys being a little impatient?" "Nope," "We are not," "I don't think so," the three replied sincerely making you sigh in defeat.

You stepped inside but frowned at the female figure on the couch next to Chan. He turned to you with a smile and you got a better view of the figure. "Hey YNie," Tzuyu greeted and you returned it. "Hi Tzuyu," "Tzuyu? I'm older than you kiddo, so you should call me unnie," She ordered and you shook your head. "I'm sorry, but I don't call others unnie," you excused yourself as you followed Hyunjin to your room. "So I guess you don't like Tzuyu?" You were startled at his voice and Hyunjin chuckled at your reaction. "What?" "Tzuyu, you don't like her, do you?" "Hmm, to be honest, I don't and I necessarily don't hate her either. It's just I don't know her," That's understandable," "So did she put you up to come talk to me? Or are you worried about me not getting along with your love interest?" Chan let out a scoff as he stared at you in disbelief.

"Ok, what is it with you? This is the second time you're being...umm," "Paranoid?" Hyunjin helped, "Yeah, paranoid," "Am I? Meh, no," "You are. Or is it because of what happened?" "Maybe, I mean I understand if you guys are a little distant," "Do you think we are distant?" Hyunjin frowned, "NO! And that's exactly what I am worried about." "Well, then why didn't you tell us about your peanut allergy?" Minho walked in with hands in his pockets. "Hihi, It never came up. Plus I've been cautious about what I eat," you scratched your nape with a sheepish smile. "Fair enough. But tell us if there is anything we should know beforehand," "Promise!"

.

"Food!!!" you exclaimed plopping down on Seungmin who groaned dramatically. He tightly gripped your waist with a smirk. "Am I your food, baby?" You tried to free yourself when he started smooching all over your face tickling you. "That's enough." Changbin walked in as he pulled you up. "Tzuyu is here, did you forget that?" He turned to Seungmin while you sulked quietly. Jongin skipped inside the dining hall the very next moment and you threw your hands up with a whine, "Innie, nobody loves me here," He shook his head with an adoring smile before pulling you down with him. "They don't love me, especially him," you pointed to Changbin, and Jongin smirked at Hyung. "Should we punish him?" "That sounds interesting," "No kisses for a week," You cheered agreeing with him and Changbin pouted before walking over to sit on his chair as Tzuyu entered the hall.

"What happened to you, Binnie?" Tzuyu asked finding him sulking in silence. "Does she also call him Binnie?" You nudged Jongin, "No, this is the first time. She always calls us by our name, except for Chan Hyung," "What does she call Sunbae?" You suddenly got interested "Oh, it's nothing," he smiled nervously. "Lee Jongin," you warned, "Sweety," he mumbled and you choked on your sausage as you started laughing out loud. Jongin tried to calm you down but it went vein, "Sweety? For real?" you asked him and he too broke into laughter at your disgusted expression as the rest frowned at you two. Seungmin placed his hand on your lap and you turned to him. He gave you a done look and you sat straight silently giggling along with Jongin.
