New Beginnings- Jicheol

Chapter 17

"Soonyoung, we have been listening to SHINee for the past two and a half hours. I love kings, but can we listen to something else?" Jeonghan's eyes were wide and slowly turned to Soonyoung. Soonyoung sighed and reluctantly switched to NCT 127's "Whiplash".

"Are you fucking serious?" Wonwoo scoffed as they heard the iconic line, "Shawty give me whip-whiplash".

"What?" Soonyoung whined, looking innocent.

"Oh fine," Soonyoung pouted, switching to VIXX's "Chained Up".

"This isn't any better, you fucking bread head. You're playing all these fucking songs right in front of my macchiato," Jeonghan huffed, rolling his eyes.

"God, you are like a mother," he groaned, selecting Red Velvet's "Red Flavor".

"Happy?" Soonyoung muttered, whipping his head around.

"I don't mind," Jeonghan said simply, taking a sip of his macchiato. Jihoon was trying not to send another text to Seungcheol. The entire chat history for that day had been Jihoon asking where he was, if he was okay, if something happened, if he had eaten. Wonwoo was acting slightly suspicious and Jeonghan was slightly on edge with his vein that only showed when he was angry twitching every so often.

"Okay, you fucking sporks, you are all terrible at lying, where the fuck is my boyfriend?" Jihoon finally broke his silence after an entire hour of sleeping. Jeonghan silently turned around and as calmly as possible said, "There was family business and he's on his way. He will explain everything to you as soon as he gets back and if he doesn't... I'll make him. We're sorry for messing your birthday up, child," Jeonghan looked down and actually looked upset.

"It's fine. I didn't really ask to go on a vacation. I'm really grateful you guys planned it though. It's not ruined, I promise," Jihoon flashed his signature eye smile and all was right with the beautiful blond haired boy. Jeonghan could finally breathe easily.

"This is why you're my favourite child," Jeonghan pet the smaller's head.

"Alright, break up the sap. We're at the place," Wonwoo pushed past the two and finally got out, only to be picked up by Mingyu the friendly giant.

"Where are we?" Jihoon looked around in amazement. He was in front of a huge white house with black roofing. You could see the ocean from where he was standing and that was only in the driveway.

"This is Seungcheol's family's house. Don't ask any questions about it until he comes or I might need to take another aspirin," Jeonghan massaged his temples while Jisoo backhugged him and peppered his neck with small kisses. Jeonghan smiled and they walked out of the driveway and to the front door. They opened it to be greeted with a clean linen scent. The interior was decorated with creams and light blues. The couch was a black leather (smart choice lol) and the kitchen was well stocked.

"Hyunggg! Happy birthday!!!!!" Chan flew down the stairs and tackled the shorter with a hug.

"You're really old now," Chan laughed, still hugging the other. Jihoon couldn't help but smile at the youngest's cute antics.

"You'll be my age soon," Jihoon rolled his eyes, which earned a wave of his hand from the younger.

"Yo, happy birthday, bro," Hansol walked casually into the room and slung one arm around the boy lazily. Seokmin also wished the boy a happy birthday and hugged him before Soonyoung, like a hyper hamster, started running around the house, dragging the taller around with him. Minghao flew down the stairs and slid to a stop right in front of Jihoon before picking the older up in a hug and spinning him around.

"Happy birthday, hyung! I appreci8 you so much and I love you," Minghao smiled brightly while spinning (like a fidget spinner hah kill me).

"Minghao! Careful! You might break the child! Also, don't run down stairs because you might hurt yourself!" Junhui nagged walking down the stairs, while shaking his head.
