My I「Junhao」

2.1

"Why are we doing this again?" I tried to ask over Hansol's loud screech-singing and Seungkwan's attempted rapping to the Bigbang song. "What? I can't hear you." Minghao mockingly replied, smile blossoming on his face when I looked at him, unamused.

"Because you two were tasked to get them together and then you decided to drag me here as well. I had a date with Taebin and then Jun-gē said there was an emergency so I freaking bolted to your house and then you dragged me here!" Mingming responded for Minghao, looking between two of us with an unamused glare, which made me snicker. "The three idiots have been reunited so we must do stupid things together, such as getting Minghao's two oblivious friends together."

"You say that as if they're not your friends either." Minghao looked at me with scorn and I just blinked at him. "They were your friends first. I don't claim them when they are like this." I put my hands up and looked at him with an innocent facial expression.

"They would've been your friends from the start as well, if you had decided to go to the same school as me after we moved here and finished our tutoring for Korean." Minghao retorted dryly. The glare he was giving me made me want to apologise to him for not going to the same school, but I held my ground and stayed strong.

"I didn't want to go to a private school any more and you did. It's not my fault that you ended up with them as your friends instead of my great group of friends." Minghao frowned at my extremely biased statement and instantly retorted.

"Excuse me my friends are great-" Mingming cut Minghao off. "Could you stop with your flirting for one day, please. I dealt with it for five years straight and I was glad when I had a few years of freedom." My mouth opened and closed like a fish when it was out of the water. "We weren't flirting." Minghao defended himself and the dry look that Mingming shot him made him stop complaining instantly.

I turned my attention back to the reason we were sitting in a room listening to the awful karaoke. Seungkwan and Hansol. The two painfully oblivious boys were getting awfully close to each other while they were now singing a love song, extremely engaged in it and singing the most seriously I've ever heard them sing at karaoke.

I nudged the two Mings and gestured at the two boys who were singing. Minghao's eyes widened in anticipation. "Fucking finally there is some progress." He muttered. "How are they not paying any attention to us?" Mingming asked quietly and we all went silent as we tried to come up with a reason as to why they weren't reacting to us.

"Maybe they're ignoring us because you two are both dumbasses." I side-eyed Mingming in annoyance. "Oi. I'm older than you, you piece of trash." I retorted, looking at him blankly. Mingming chose that moment to blow a kiss at me and I then rolled my eyes so hard that after I let my eyes rest, the room spun because of the wave of dizziness that hit me.

"You two are both idiots. We're speaking in Mandarin and you expect them to understand us?" Minghao stated dryly. He tilted his head and looked away — back towards Seungkwan and Hansol — when the singing stopped, but soon after, he covered his mouth with his hand and his eyes widened in shock. I turned my head and my jaw dropped as soon as I saw what was happening.

"Out, out! Come on we've succeeded with what we were here to do, now let's abscond." I hissed under my breath and guided the two 97 liners out to leave the two alone. Because Seungkwan and Hansol were kissing, rather aggressively at that. And no, they wouldn't have done the dirty after we left, they're like 5. That's illegal.

"Thanks for treating us Gēge." Minghao cooed in a honey sweet voice, "Yeah, thanks gēge." Mingming copied mockingly. "I hate you both." I muttered under my breath with a moan as I slid into the booth.

What the two younger boys didn't see while they were chatting away in the booth of the ice cream parlour was my panicked call to my mother, asking for her to send money to my bank account. "Xiao Hui why are you asking me for money? You're good with your money." My exaggerated sigh had been loud. I had covered my mouth and looked around to make sure the two boys weren't noticing me calling my mother.

"Mama. Xiao Ming and Xiao Haohao are expecting me to treat them and I don't want to go into my savings because I wanna go back to Shenzhen sooner rather than later. Please, mama." It had taken her a few seconds to respond. "Fine, Xiao Hui. Don't expect for it to happen again. It should be there in a few seconds."

I had sighed in relief and paid for the two boys' ice creams. And that's how we ended up here, sitting in a booth in an ice cream parlour at 9pm and trying our hardest not to smother each other in ice cream in hopes of actually eating our ice creams for the first ice cream 'date' we had since we were 12 and 11.

But then again, smothering ice cream on each other was how we ended up being kicked out of the ice cream parlour, just like when we were younger. We just couldn't control ourselves whenever we had ice cream and we were together therefore we always, without fail, ended up being kicked out from whatever place we went to because of the mess we made. Not like we ever cared though.

"Was it worth coming with us after all that?" I asked Mingming with a slight smirk. His eyes widened as he answered with the smallest twitch of the corners of his lips, telltale signs that he was lying. "No-" Minghao cut him off before he could continue.

"You're lying Mingmingie-gē. We haven't forgotten your habits of when you lie." He huffed in response and retorted to Minghao's observation by shoving more ice cream on his face, which prompted Minghao to do the same. "I'm surrounded by children." I whispered under my breath.

"What was that?" Minghao asked in a higher pitched voice, fluttering his eyelashes. To my luck, my phone rang at that time. I pulled it out and saw Seungkwan's contact on my screen. "Hey-" I was cut off by a sudden outburst by Seungkwan. "HYUNG WHERE DID YOU THREE GO? WE FINISHED THE SONG AND YOU WERE GONE WHAT ARE YOU DOIN-"

I cut in and tried to speak over his yelling. "Don't lie, you two were kissing when we left, now tell me, are you in a relationship with each other now?" A silence and a bit of grumbling under his breath. "What if we are?" He muttered. I paused, taking into consideration what he just said.

"I think that everyone would agree with me when I say fucking finally!"

So Verkwan are finally dating. Now there's one (or maybe two??? Idk) more ship(s) to establish before it'll be time to end this. (I can't believe it fucking took 21 chapters for them to get together (and then however many years before) I'm so done with them and I was the one writing it?? I'm so sorry it took so long)
