Aecha's P.O.V.
After our game, we went to the dorm for him to get his car and some clothes to stay at my place for the week.
The next morning thought, I was pretty surprised.
"You're burning hot Hobi.."
I whispered after touching his forehead. I told him to wear gloves and a scarf even if it was not so cold outside yesterday. He was still sleeping, but he kept twisting and turning. I slowly shook is shoulder.
"Hobi.."
He hummed and turned around to look at me in a sleepy gaze.
I caressed his cheek.
"You have a fever.. I'll get you some cold medicine and I'll pick up your sister alright?"
He mumbled."No.. I'm her brother.. I'll go. You don't have to."
I kissed his forehead."If you feel good in a couple of hours after you take your medicine, you can go."
He groaned and turned around. He was so grumpy when he was sick.

"Let me take care of you grumpy baby." I ruffled his hair and went to my cabinet to get what I needed and a glass of water.
"I know it's only 3am, but cooperate.."
He took it after five minutes of asking and he went straight back to sleep. Last time I had to deal with a sick Hoseok, it was hell. Like a child not wanting to take a bath and is running away.
I managed to get some more sleep as well.
When he got up at nine, he walked to the couch where I was sitting. "Sorry for being a pain in the ass.." He apologized.
I smiled."Better treat it before it gets worse. I think Taehyung took your mask when he left and you took his. You probably caught his cold from wearing his mask plus not dressing properly."

"Maybe.." He dropped on the sofa his head on my lap."Think I can go fetch my noona in a couple of hours?"

I nodded."If you take your medicine every four hours like you should, it's gonna be just fine."

"Okay my lady~"He smiled.

"I have to go shopping for our Christmas dinner and our weekly food supply so, unless you and your sister want to help, you two have fun somewhere okay?" I asked.

"Aww come on.. It's been over 6 months since she saw you and you're ditching her for groceries." He complained.

"Wanna eat or not?" I replied and heard a huge sigh.

"Fine. I'm picking her up in 3 hours.." Hobi yawned getting up to probably take a shower.

"Hey sleepy head. I'm missing something." I looked at him until he understood and gave me a peck on the lips.

"Child." He laughed entering the bathroom.

Hoseok's P.O.V.
When I got out of the shower, she was nowhere to be found. I looked at my phone. See you later sunshine~ was the text she sent me. That girl couldn't wait for me huh?

I went to pick up my sister some time after that.

"Where's she? Where's your girlfriend?" My older sister asked looking around.
Wow.. We never call eachother boyfriend or girlfriend so hearing it from my sister is kinda weird.

"Sorry sis, but she is shopping for our food. Only stuck with me." I pouted.

"Don't say that! I missed you too! Got her a nice gift?" She questioned me.

"Yup a nice gift that I need to check on today." I smiled.

"I know about this one. I mean small thoughtful ones." She slapped my shoulder.

Oh.. Right. I didn't think about that. With the look I gave her, she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the car."Gotta go shopping as weel!" She cheered.

Aecha's P.O.V.
I received a message from Hobi. Why am I not surprised?

Picked her up and she can't wait to see you! We're at the mall! Meet us there after your shopping! Love you my lovely girlfriend

Girlfriend? So weird to read that. Going to the mall? Why not? I placed all the food in my fridge and grabbed my car keys to the mall. My mom called earlier telling me she'd grab a cab at the train station to get here in 2 days. Hoseok's parents would do the same. I have to say I'm pretty nervous. I've talked to his parents before like he did with my mother, but it's the first time we'll officially meet our families. I'm kinda stressing out.
Anyway, I arrived at the mall and met the siblings at the cafe there.
"Here is the girl stealing my brother's heart!" His sister welcomed me with a warm embrace. She's bubbly like Hobi, but a lot sweeter and calmer. My cheeks flushed."Oh please Mejiwoo.. I'm happy to see you too. You're even prettier than I remembered."

"Call me Mej please! I'm not royalty. Drop the honorifics too if you plan to use them." She smiled.

I glanced at the impatient looking Hobi."What's up with you? Still grumpy?"

"Nah.. Jealous because I gave you a nice hug first. Right?" She asked him.

He shyed away."Shut it Mej.."

He gave me a soft kiss on my lips and handed me a drink."Iced coffee double expresso without sugar. Just how you like it."

I kissed him back."You're an angel, thank you."

We saw a camera flash. Our gazes turned to his sister her phone in hand.
"Mej!" We yelled at her after putting our masks on.
"What?" She looked at us confused like she did nothing wrong.

We chatted and had a lot of fun. I noticed my angel had a couple of bags."What's in these?"

"Nothing!" The Jung siblings said.
I laughed and kept walking like nothing happened.

"Hobi, you and.." Mej started.

"I told you you could call me Ash." I smiled.

"Right sorry. You and Ash are easily noticeable even with these on." She pointed at our masks.

"Why so?" Hobi asked keeping a gently hold on my hand.

"You both have red hair geniuses." She pointed out.

We looked at eachother and burst into laughter.

"You're right!" Hobi grinned.

"Then these serve no purpose. Why do you keep them on?" She asked.

"I guess we can put it like this.. We wear them to show people we want to conceal our identities because we do not want to be disturbed." I explained.

"Ash's right. ARMYS understand this and they don't ask. They take pictures, I noticed, but they leave us alone most of the time." Hobi added.

"Ah.. I get it. Being an idol and dating is a pain." His sister sighed.

"No, it's not. We don't have to go to a nice place or hangout outside to be happy in this." His eyes smiled at me.

"You two dance a lot together then." Mej grinned.

"You've got this right!" I chuckled.

Hoseok's P.O.V.
I dropped my mask to my chin showing my smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ash looked at me.
My hand went to her face and gently pulled down what covered her face.
"Why not trying a day out without hidding?"

She gazed at me in awe."Hobi.."

My sister was grinning like a kid watching a Disney movie.

I touched my angel's cheek and brought my lips to hers."I love you Aecha."

Aecha's P.O.V.
Wow.. It's been a while since he called me by my given name.
I kissed him back."I love you too.. Now let's get going before people start staring at us."

Mejiwoo laughed and we spent the rest of the day in the mall and outside without anyone disturbing our small peace. It felt right. With them, I felt home.
