Smile // GOT7 Jinyoung

19. seven goats

It was about 3 in the afternoon when Mrs. Park left. I really needed her to answer my questions.

"You're still a little sick." Mom says, after her skin got in contact with my forehead. I frown.

"But I think you just need to take your meds and rest then you'll be fine after." She stood up and told me she'll be back when it's time I have to take my medicine.

I opened my phone to check my messages. It's been vibrating non stop for the last hour. I didn't intend to ignore calls or messages today though. I was just too lazy to do so.

"We're comin' by whether you like it or not."

I found myself smiling while scrolling through my messages from them. They're really sweet.

As in on cue, the door burst open, and choked seven goats err I mean GOT7. I mentally laughed at my own joke.

"Hey." Jinyoung greeted. I looked up and saw them. They look like 5-year old cousins, visiting their sick grandma with their unusually quiet and well behaved selves.

They stood in a line and sat on the floor. I looked at them confused. "What are you guys doing?"

"We won't leave till you feel better." Bambam pouted.

"But I am better." I protested.

"No, like really well. We want to play with you." Jackson chimed.

"We'll take care of you, too. Since Mrs. Lee is probably tired." Yugyeom says.

"I appreciate the concern, guys. But all of you staying here isn't allowed. There's now way I'll fully recover within this day. It has to be tomorrow or much later than that."

"Oh don't worry. We asked from every single one of your family members." Youngjae showed his phone call log that has Sungyeol oppa and my dad's phone numbers, recently called both in 2 minutes. "And of course we asked your mum personally."

"Daebak." I commented. They're really amazing.

Suddenly, the door opened, and my mom came in. "Here are blankets and pillows for all of you. Make yourselves at home, and don't cause any trouble, alright?" My mom reminded them.

We all said our "Ne" and "Thank you" in unison in soft tones. Then, my mom turned the air condition stat from Low to Medium. Since the country's already in a cold season.

When my mom left, Mark suggested we watch a movie. All of us agreed. He also brought CDs with him. I chose Finding Nemo. It never gets old.

Bambam played the CD in the dvd player and the first scene flashed through my flat screen TV. Everyone sat on the floor. I got up from my bed and layed on the couch just behind where they were sitting.

JB brought popcorn and a small bowl for each.

I fell asleep halfway through the movie, I think. I don't remember which scene I last took a glimpse of.

"She looks so cute."
"Shush be quiet."
"But her cuteness is too much for me to handle."
"Hey you'll wake her up."
"You guys are so noisy."
"Look who's talking."
"Seriously, shut up. I wanna take a picture of her sleeping."
"Send me a copy of it then."

"I hear you." I flashed my eyes open. Then, i saw theirs widen in shock. "Take a picture some other time." I winked.

I scanned the room, only to see how cleaner it became. Wow.

"Cool, right? We cleaned it for you." Youngjae smiled in satisfaction, actually all of them did.

"Really? Thank you." I said.

I took my phone and checked the time. 6:36 PM

"Dinner should be ready by now. Let's go." I sat up and stood. They all nodded their heads and we went down for dinner.

"Smells nice." Jinyoung said.

"I could already taste it in my mouth." JB commented.

"Yeah." Mark agreed.

We sat down the dining table, which is nicely prepared with nine plates, utensils, and cups.

My mom places the kimchi stew on the table in a serving plate with a big serving spoon. We had one bowl of rice each too. Mom also joined us eat.

We talked about random stuff during dinner time. And for once, I didn't want to stand up to leave even though I was already finished eating. With these guys, everything is fun.

So after a nice time, the seven offered to wash the dishes and do chores. My mom tried to interfere, but they said it was okay. And besides, they live in one roof, they're used to this.

I sat on the couch, looking at the old photos of my dad in the table in front. He's at America right now. Both him and Mom often have business trips.

Clunk

A loud noise was heard from the kitchen. I quickly stood up to check on them.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask.

"He dropped a knife while placing them on the cabinet." Said Yugyeom.

Jinyoung was there staring blankly at the cupboard, not even blinking. His face indescribable and couldn't be read.

"Jinyoung hyung." Yugyeom calls to get his attention.

"Hhuh? What?" He shakes his head, snapping back. "Oh sorry." He apologizes and quickly gets down to get the knife he just dropped.

I looked at the open cupboard. I saw my old mug, a pink one with a little girl's image is painted on it. Next to it, is another kiddie mug, blue this time, also has an image of a kid but a boy.

I hurriedly slam the cupboard shut. "That's where you put those." I point to the cabinet across the cupboard I shut.

"Oh. Thanks for clearing that out for me." I quickly nodded and went back to the living room.

I laid on the carpeted floor. A few minutes later, Yugyeom came by himself.

"Hey." I greet. "Where are the others?"
"They're upstairs." He answered.

I just nodded in response.

"What relationship did you have with Jinyoung in the past?" He asks out of the blue.
