"Watch out ! Jump ! And here we are, dead because of you, once again.". "BECAUSE OF ME ? You kidding ?!".
My so-called "best friend" shrugged nonchalantly. "I was busy saving your ass ! I didn't see the void.". I threw a cushion at Seungmin, which he easily dodged, sticking his tongue at me.
I've spent the last hours playing Mario with him in his room. Well, basically, we were constantly roasting each other and trying to kill each other on every occasion we got.
Jeongin rolled his eyes: "You two can't even play together without fighting.". He didn't even look at us, too busy scrolling on his phone, lying on Seungmin's bed. "Not my fault he's a pain in the ass" I mumbled, earning a glare from Puppy. "Go find another best friend then, I don't mind." he said, crossing his arms and pouting. I giggled and threw myself on him: "Nah I keep this one, I love you. You're my favourite idiot.". He side-eyed me but didn't fight my hug.
"I'm hungry guys !" Hyunjin entered the room, directly crawling on the bed and collapsing on the poor I.N. I frowned, wondering what he was doing here: "Weren't you supposed to help Minho in the kitchen ?". He shrugged: "Han and I were helping him, but he suddenly kicked us out.". Jinnie and I looked at each other, I tilted my head with narrowed eyes. "He even threatened to put me in the air fryer Sooki !".
I raised an eyebrow: "Jinnie. Were you two actually helping him, or were you watching him cook while eating everything you found ?". The guy pouted: "... He didn't need to threaten us though...". I stood up and ruffled his hair, smiling knowingly. "I know you all too well. I'm gonna see how mad he is."
As I went downstairs, I spotted Han and Felix on the couch. Han was laying his head on Felix's laps. Both were scrolling on their phones, showing each other some tiktoks occasionally. My sunshine twins.
I then stepped carefully into the kitchen. Lee Know was busy cutting vegetables, so he couldn't see who was coming in."Listen here, if you steal something on the table, pick something delicious, 'cause it will be the last thing you'll eat.".
I gasped, putting a hand on my heart. "Are you threatening me Lee Minho ? Me, the only one who really wants to help you ?" I said, wiping a fake tear. Minho chuckled. "Sorry Soo I thought it was the troublemakers. If it's you, I don't mind some help." He winked at me. I smiled and joined him.We were cooking for 15 minutes when a loud noise came from the entrance, interrupting our conversation : "Yooooooooooooh".
Lee Know rolled his eyes while I giggled. Changbin came into the kitchen and sat down on the counter, grabbing a chips bag. His natural hair was wet, he probably showered at the gym.
"Stop eating you pig, dinner is almost ready." Lee Know lectured him. "Don't care, I'm hungry.". I smiled and went to him for a hug. "Hi Binbin.". "Hello Soo". He kissed my cheek before handing me chips. "How did it go at the gym ?". "Pretty good ! I'm gonna have a wide back, just wait and see!" he cockily said.
I giggled, massaging his shoulders: "You are already wide, it's becoming difficult to hug you.". "Hey hey hey back off Sooki, that's my man !" Lix said, coming straight to me and pushing me from Changbin. "Okay, okay, I surrender." I laughed, putting my hands in the air: "Changbin, I let you between Lix's professional hands.".I then looked around, searching for someone: "Where is Chan ? He didn't come with you ?" I asked Changbin. "Nah, he's in a productive phase. Probably still in the studio." He said, eyes closed, enjoying Felix's massage. "And you didn't try to get him out I suppose ?". "Soo, you know how he is. No one can get him out when he's in this phase.".
I sighed. I knew Changbin was right. Chan had some moments like that, where he went into an overworking mode. Sometimes, we wouldn't see him for days. But this state wasn't healthy, he often forgot to eat and barely slept. I hated the thought of him, alone in the studio, not taking care of his health.
