Unkind Fate: Jaebum

Chapter 26: Admit

I was silently sitting on a couch, my eyes are wandering the small living room, as if studying their dormitory would mean knowing what kind of role each member portrays in their so-called home. The three doors that I found, which are painted in white with a brown outline, highlight my curiosity, wondering whose room were those and who were the roommates. Lucky enough, my curiosity was satisfied as each member came out of their respective rooms when JB announced, "The food is ready."

Yugyeom and Bambam came out in pairs, with Yugyeom's arm over Bambam's shoulder. Jinyoung was behind them, like a mother watching her sons. Mark and Jackson had left their room consequently and Youngjae, on the other hand, came out alone from the farthest room. I supposed Youngjae was JB's roommate.

I stood up and was ready to greet them when Bambam suddenly rushed over me and gave me a big hug. "I miss you, Hara noona!"

Jackson was too quick to snatch Bambam from me and replaced him instead. He squeezed my body and I patted his back, letting out a laugh. I actually misses them too.

JB went over Jackson's ear and intentionally cough on it which makes Jackson startled, jumping away from me.

"I said, the food is ready", JB repeated when Jackson faced him.

"You didn't tell us that Hara's here. We should've dress well."

I look at myself and just remembered I'm still in my practice attire, with just pants and a loose shirt. I never had a chance to change. After my fight between Lisa's friends, we were called to get back at JYP building to discuss what happened. And even before I got to go back in our dorm, I bumped into JB and let him heard my growling stomach. Although embarassed, I ended up in their dorm instead to have dinner with them.

"You're mocking me again, Jackson." I said, glaring at him first before flashing a smile.

I bowed to the rest of the members and they welcomed me with their warm smile as usual. They seem comfortable having me around already and I feel guilty for not feeling the same. Because actually, I still feel too shy hanging out with the rest of them. I can't really initiate a conversation and I feels bad that it always them who were trying to adjust just to make sure I won't get out of place.

JB brought out the plates in the living room and Jinyoung came over to help in putting them down on the table after I was rejected by JB when I offered a help.

The boys were amazed to see a well-plated pasta. Yugyeom and Youngjae were the first one to sit on the floor, hurriedly picking up the plate.

"What's the occasion?" Jackson asked while slurping the pasta.

JB sat beside me and twirled the pasta with his fork. I don't know why it's a big deal to me to see him using a fork. I find him cute. Maybe I was just accustomed to see him eat with chopsticks.

Ignoring Jackson's question, JB lifted up the fork in front of my mouth, suggesting to feed me up.

All eyes were on me, waiting for me to eat up the pasta JB was offering. Blushing, I grab the fork from him and quickly slurp it down. "It's good." I awkwardly commented, avoiding their stares. But my peripheral vision was just too clear that I can still even see the smile on their faces.

I can hear the small laugh they were trying to hide while I continue to eat my pasta.

"I don't think you cook for us for nothing. Let alone, Hara is here so I bet there's something you have to tell us." Jackson asked mischievously.

The pasta suddenly got stucked on my throat, making me choke. JB offered me a drink and patted my back as I gulped down the water. Again, we earned a massive stare.
