Chapter Thirteen: Welcome to the Neighborhood

Jiyong stood against the counter watching Youngbae and Daesung argue over how to cook their breakfast and smiled.

"And you all try to say we're like a cute old married couple."

Bae turned around and threw a small piece of red pepper at the rapper, but he was smiling.

Seunghyun laughed and pulled his tattooed lover to him and gave him a small kiss before rubbing their noses together, causing the younger to giggle and bury his face in the crook of Seunghyun's neck.

"You guys are still puke-worthy cute though."

"Seungri, you're just jealous because you're still single."

The maknae pouted and sat on his stool waiting for his breakfast. The next few moments were filled with random chatting until Daesung and Bae were done cooking.

It was nearly noon and all five of them were sweating and panting from moving the living room and office furniture in. They had everything where they wanted it, so Bae suggested they take a break before moving on to the downstairs guest rooms and organizing the bathrooms and kitchen.

They flopped down on the couch and in chairs and all sighed.

"Okay, hyung, this may have been a mistake." Youngbae looked at Daesung, a questioning look on his face.

"Why babe?"

"Because I don't think any of us are inclined to get back up now that we've sat down. The couch feels too good."

"Kang Daesung, if you take a nap, I will hurt you." Bae said, but his voice held no threat as he was feeling sleepy as well.

"Yeah, I'm with Dae on this one. I don't want to move now, and you know that Seunghyun will be asleep if we stay here more than 5 minutes."

The eldest swatted his lover, giving him a half-hearted glare. "I'm not that lazy, Ji Ji."

Jiyong groaned. "You're never gonna quit are you?"

The rapper chuckled. "Nope, but did you really expect me to?"

Ji rolled his eyes. "How long do we want to sit here and make the living room stink?"

They all laughed. "We do kind of smell." Seungri mumbled from his position face down on the chaise lounge.

"Kind of? Panda get your nose out of the cushion and take a whiff." Daesung commented.

Seungri did as he was told and immediately shoved his face back against the pillow. "Ok, so we really stink. Damn, someone should open a window."

They all laughed. Jiyong stood and walked to the window, pushing it up and smiling as the fresh air flooded his senses. He turned around and leaned against the frame, laughing as the others sighed happily as the breeze reached them, the open window bringing in the noise of the workers filling the pool.

"You know what we should do?"

The others looked over to their leader, identical looks of questioning on their faces.

They were silent for a moment, which Jiyong took to mean they were waiting for his response.

"We should have a pool party and barbeque tomorrow night so we can get to know our neighbors. After we get done with furniture and stuff we could go shopping and get food and drinks. I think it would be a good way to start out our living here."
