my eyes flickered open to see a body tangled up with mine - heeseung's leg was right on top of mine. i sat up groggily and rubbed my eyes, carefully removing myself from him to not wake him up but he stirred.

he slowly sat up and asked, "what time is it?"

i grabbed my phone and turned it on. "uh, 11:23."

he mumbled something about it being too early and then stretched before making his way inside the bathroom. i used the one down the hallway after finding myself lost twice. damn, his house was huge.

i headed downstairs and spotted ni-ki playing on a console, his eyes locked intensely on the game he was playing. he noticed my presence and offered a slight nod in my direction. "have a good sleep?"

heat crawled its way up my neck when i remembered heeseung basically lying on top of me. "yeah. when did you wake up?"

"like 10-ish. heeseung has so many games on here so i had to," he reasoned. i shook my head in amusement; he really was a little kid.

"do you know where the others are?" i inquired.

"probably in the living room." he jumped up suddenly. "yes! victory!"

i followed his directions and headed to the left. i spotted everyone on the couch and making small conversation. sunoo was probably starting another debate, no doubt.

"hey guys," i said from behind them.

jungwon, who was lying down, sat up in surprise and hit his head on jay's chin. "you scared me!" he exclaimed with a hand clutched on his chest for an extra dramatic effect.

jay, on the other hand, rubbed his chin in pain. "ouch." jungwon immediately tended to him and apologised profusely, giving him a peck on his chin since according to jay, it helped ease the pain. i gagged teasingly at their cheesiness.

"you should go eat," sunghoon stated. "mrs. lee is home and she made us breakfast."

"oh, okay. thanks," i replied gratefully.

i hurried off to the dining room and spotted her cooking something in a pan. heeseung was already there, making small talk with his mum. they turned around when they heard me enter.

"is this the sim jake you were talking about?" she exclaimed happily. heeseung looked embarrassed and hurriedly introduced us. i gave him a questionable glimpse at him but he looked away. i bowed at mrs. lee respectfully.

"oh, honey! i've been waiting to meet you!" she beamed at me. "your mother and i are friends. she never mentioned how handsome you were!"

she didn't notice my awkward demeanour and wrapped her arms around me affectionately. i patted her back with a confused expression.

mrs. lee finally released me from the chokehold and i breathed a sigh of relief. i was seriously close to dying at the lack of oxygen.

"what would you like to eat, hun?" she went back to frying something in the pan. "this is for heeseung. would you like the same?"

i shuffled closer and peered at the food. it was scrambled egg toast, i observed. "yes please, thank you mrs. lee."

"no need to call me that! you can call me mum because i'll be your mother in law soon," she winked playfully and i went along with it in bewilderment but thought nothing of it. heeseung looked like he was about to shit his pants though.
