"Yer're in a good mood." Wooyoung said, bumping into me purposely. I narrowed my eyes at him but brushed it off. Wooyoung always had a teasing personality. It just didn't come out often because of the stress we'd all been under, but recently, he's been extra annoying.

"Can't I be?" I asked, taking a bite of my stew he made.

He shrugged, "It doesn't look good on ye."

I put down my spoon, which earned a chuckle from him.

"I just be joking. However, I don't be used t' yer pearly white smile. It be annoying me." He replied, slipping in the seat in front of me.

I settled for scowling at him, not having the ability to grab him by the collar. I sighed, choosing to change the subject. "How are the kids?"

"T'ey're good. T'e girls didn't understand, and Kyungmin be strong." His whole demeanor changed once talking about his kids, like seriousness was needed from him anytime they were brought up.

I reached for his hand, "You're a good guardian to those kids."

He smiled at me appreciately, bringing my hand up with his. "Thank ye, babe." Then, out of nowhere, he sunk his teeth into my wrist.

I smacked at him, ripping my wrist away from him. "Bloodsucker."

"Yer wrist was right t'ere." He responded like it just made sense.

"You pulled it up!"

"Aye...and t'en it be right t'ere." He said, leaning back in his chair. "Ye should wash up."

I furrowed my brow, "Do I stink? I just took a bath this morning."

He hummed, "Ye smell like sex."

"How does- what even is that?!" I asked, my face growing hot.

"Sex?"

"Wooyoung!"

He laughed, "Everyone can see it, babe."

"Do I really need to bathe again?" I asked.

"No, I be teasin'." He smiled at me deviously.

"Is it really that obvious?" I asked.

"Ye be glowing like ye just got dicked down. Could be anyt'in t'ough-" His lips formed a pout. "Was I not yer type?"

"You jealous?" I asked.

"We all be. Sadly, Cap got first dibs." He sighed longingly.

"What do you mean dibs?" I asked, continuing with my bowl of food.

"He said ye weren't t' be touched." He said.

"I thought San said that?"

"T'ey both did. San just didn't take ye first."

"You do realize you are speaking to a human being right now... right? Like... I have opinions and choices of my own." I said.
