Sugar Coated Love

Chapter 16

I woke up in a very tight cuddle between Changbin and Seungmin. I faintly remember falling asleep with Changbin and Hyunjin, so I guess Minnie must have snuck in later. Sighing, I wiggle in their grip, trying to get out of their hold.

Changbin groans. "Go back to sleep, love."

"I've got to get ready for the day," I respond in a hushed tone. "But you go back to sleep."

He just huffs, unraveling one hand from around my waist so he can grab his phone. "You've got a few minutes before your alarm goes off. Lay back down."

"Binnie..."

He wraps his arm around me again, pulling me back down. "Nope, you are going to lay back down until your alarm goes off."

Seungmin's arms tighten as well, having woken up during our conversation. "Lay down. You're comfy to cuddle."

"Fine," I sigh, settling down into their hold.

Seungmin nuzzles his head into my neck, placing a soft kiss on it. "There we go, petal. Doesn't that feel good?"

I laugh softly. "I'm very tempted to say no to not give into both of your egos, but I am actually very cozy."

"You should start listening to us more often then, huh?"

I whack Changbin's chest. "Shut up."

He shakes his head, moving to press a kiss to my nose. When I giggle at the action, he moves to place more kisses all along my face. I try to shove him away, but arms wrap around my own, keeping them tight at my sides.

"Let me go!"

Seungmin purposely tightens his arms around me and I groan.

"What's the magic word?"

I shiver at how close his voice is, his breath grazing the shell of my ear. "Fuck you?"

Arms squeeze tighter around me and Changbin moves his assault down to my neck.

I release a breath, squirming. "We have to get ready for court and I don't think the judge would appreciate hickeys on my neck."

"You have a nice, high collared shirt," Changbin hums, moving down to my collar bone.

"That we bought you in case of an occasion like this," Seungmin finishes, chuckling.

My heart is beating out of my chest at this point and I feel a flush climbing up my neck. Slowly, my head falls backwards onto Seungmin's shoulder. "Alright then."

"Control your children."

Those are the first words that leave my lips when I see Minho and Chan sitting in the kitchen. They both look confused.

Minho cocks his head to the side. "Context?"

My hand wraps around the collar of my shirt, pulling it down low enough for the marks to be visible.

"Jesus, which ones did that to you?"

Both men are trying to hold in their laughs.

"Seung and Binnie."

Their laughs finally escape, causing me to let go of my collar and cross my arms in front of myself defensively. "Wow, you two are so helpful."

Chan shakes his head, a blinding smile on his lips. "Sorry beloved, but we couldn't have stopped those two if we wanted to."

I groan, deciding to change the topic. "Don't we need to leave soon?"

I am noticeably less tense in the courtroom this time, not having to rehash my trauma apparently leads to a more calm experience. However, I still am not able to relax as my friends are put up on the stand, asked the same questions over and over.
