"we got questions."

chani gulped, his eyes wavering from their stares.

"how and when did you and inseong meet?"

"j-just now..." their stares were scary, chani wriggled slightly in his spot, not wanting to move and accidentally make them angry.

"did yall fuck?" dawon spit out, straight to the point.

the other two glared at him.

"asshole, don't just jump like that!" youngbin gave him a wack on the head.

fuck meant he was swearing, so chani did something wrong.

it's always like that back in the factory; if you do something wrong, they'll swear at you or hit you.

"i-i'm sorry... i don't know what i d-did wrong..." chani curled himself against the wall, his eyes darting frantically from one person to another.

"chani, what are you talk about?" jaeyoon needed to raise his voice over the other two bickering in the back.

chani took it as a sign that he's gonna shout at him.

worthless, useless, you're lucky we're keeping you!

"chani!" jaeyoon shouted again to get his attention, since he was spacing out.

"i-i'm sorry! please don't h-hit me..." the youngest covered his ears in fright, his body shaking.

"guys, what-" inseong peeked out of the kitchen to check on them.

his eyes widen at the scene before him as he turned down the flame and put down the ladle.

"jaeyoon, move." jaeyoon shakily got off the bed, giving room to the oldest.

"chani... hey kid, look at me." seeing chani not replying to him, he sighed in defeat and picked him up like the little child he was.

he paced slowly around his room, whispering sweet nothings to the trembling little figure in his embrace.

chani sniffled and dug his head into the crook of the older's neck, hiccuping slightly from his crying fit.

inseong was of the smell of mint. inseong was warm.

inseong is safe.

chani dared looked up, wiping his eyes of any unshed tears.

"i'm sorry... i didn't mean to cry, it's just-"

"i apologize," jaeyoon shuffled himself closer to the younger one.

"for shouting. i shouldn't have shouted. sorry for scaring you." he pecked chani's cheek before running to the other end of the dorm, inseong's gaze literally piercing his soul.

"chani, soup's ready." inseong put chani down on one of the seats at the bar table, setting down a spoon and a bowl of warm soup for him.

"thankyou hyung." chani chirped happily, his sadness long forgotten at the sight of delicious soup made by his favorite hyung.

"dig in yall." inseong announced before all 5 of them dug into the soup.

-

"mhm~ your cooking never fails, hyung." youngbin rubbed his full tummy as he laid down on the beanbags.

"of course it won't." inseong rolled his eyes as he watched chani explore his dorm room as if it's that interesting.

half the time, his eyes are drawn to the youngest's pale shoulder being exposed due to how freaking big his sweater is on the smaller. chani always had to stop what he was doing, using his kissable lips to pout for a second before he struggles to pull the sleeve up using his tiny hands and make it stay there.
