"I'm back," Seungcheol announced as he entered the house, taking off his sneakers and putting on his house shoes. Jeonghan perked up and marked his place in the book he was reading, setting it down on the table as Seungcheol walked into the living room.

"Welcome back! How was the gym?" Jeonghan asked, beaming at Seungcheol. "Wait here, I'll get you a glass of water." Jeonghan grabbed the two cups that he had already filled with water from the kitchen counter and walked back to the living room quickly, offering the cooler glass to Seungcheol.

"It was fine. Nothing special, just the usual workout," Seungcheol replied. He took the glass of water from Jeonghan, and Jeonghan's heart fluttered when their hands brushed. "Thanks."

"No problem." Jeonghan smiled, admiring Seungcheol's muscular arms that were revealed by his tank top. He eyed a drop of sweat trailing down Seungcheol's neck and pressed his lips together, swiping his bottom lip with his tongue.

"Hey, where is everyone?" Seungcheol wondered, glancing around. Jeonghan blinked.

"Sorry, what was that?"

"Where are our parents and my siblings?" Seungcheol repeated.

"Ah. Well, Ji-na left to go hang out with some friends from school a few minutes after you left, and Seungpo had to go to his friend's house for a birthday party sleepover thing or something. The parents wanted to go out and have fun, so I told them that I'd stay here so you wouldn't be alone when you came back," Jeonghan explained.

"Oh, I see. Thanks," Seungcheol said.

"No problem! The adults are going to be out for a while, so do you just want to order takeout for dinner?" Jeonghan asked.

"Nah, it's fine. I'll cook. Just let me take a quick shower and I'll be right back," Seungcheol replied.

"Okay!" Jeonghan exclaimed.

Jeonghan grinned excitedly at Seungcheol's back as the older boy headed up the stairs. Jeonghan loved guys who could cook, and Seungcheol's cooking tasted like heaven to Jeonghan. Jeonghan hummed quietly as he rummaged through the fridge, pulling out different vegetables that he wanted Seungcheol to cook with. He cheered triumphantly as he took out an unopened container of meat, setting it on the counter with the other ingredients. He went back to the living room, picked up his book, and sat on one of the seats in front of the kitchen bar, picking up where he left off at.

"I'm done. What do you wanna eat for dinner?" Seungcheol's voice asked from behind Jeonghan. Startled, Jeonghan dropped his book. Seungcheol was wearing a white t-shirt and baggy sweatpants, and his wet hair shined distractingly.

"What's this?" Seungcheol asked, squinting at the characters on the book cover. "Pedi–what?"

"It's a book about pediatrics," Jeonghan told Seungcheol, snatching the book back and setting it on the counter. "I'm hungry. Let's make dinner already!"

"You say 'let's' as if we're going to do it together, but we both know who's really going to do all of the cooking," Seungcheol teased. Jeonghan grinned.

"I want to eat meat! Can you cook that meat with the vegetables I took out?" Jeonghan requested. Seungcheol rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. As if I have a choice. If I don't, do it you'll keep bothering me until I do," Seungcheol grumbled, opening a drawer with his toe and bending over to take out a pot. Jeonghan watched him silently.

"Oi, stop sitting there and do something. Go fill this with water so I can make rice too," Seungcheol commanded. Jeonghan made a whining noise, and Seungcheol scowled.

"Fine, just go watch TV or something, you lazy asshole. I'll do it myself," Seungcheol said. Jeonghan grinned and rushed off to the couch in the family room, making sure to turn up the volume of the TV and slink down in his seat so that Seungcheol could watch the show with him. He flipped through a few channels before finally choosing a show that he knew both he and Seungcheol liked.
