Eyes of Love (Book 2 In The H.F.O.S. Series)

one

I opened my eyes, suddenly waking up because I felt like someone was watching me. Shooting up, my head came into contact with the culprit, who started crying as she held her head out of the pain caused by the harsh contact.

"Soonbok, what did I say about waking me up like that?" I groaned, holding my own head as the pain intensified.

"I'm sorry, Oppa." She quietly said, crawling into my bed and cuddling with me. "Bad, bad dream."

"Did you want to talk about it?" I offered, lying back down to hold her better. She shook her head and closed her eyes again, falling asleep once she felt she was safe. I let out a soft sigh, looking at her with tender affection.

Sleep was very important to me, but making sure my little sister felt safe was way more important to me. I wished she would open up to me about it, but knew better than to press, trying to pull it out of her. I rolled my eyes at the thought of prying it out, dismissing it, and adjusting myself into a more comfortable position, falling back asleep almost as quickly as I'd been woken up.

"What's up Easter egg head?" Hyunjin said as I came down for breakfast. I sighed and sent him a glare.

"Stop making fun of my hair. I like it and that's what matters." I told him, sitting across from him at the table after I'd gotten my breakfast. "You're probably just jealous because you didn't get to dye your hair."

"No thank you. I chose not to, hyung. You guys can damage your hair all you want. I'm going to be the only one with thick, healthy hair left." He replied, dramatically running his hand through his hair to further develop his point, which earned another eye roll from me.

"Sure, I saw you looking at brown hair dye the other day. You'll get turned eventually." I bantered, making him roll his eyes in response as he got up, finished with his meal.

"You guys are way too loud and you know it." We both laughed as Jisung came crawling down the stairs, a glare on his face from being woken up.

"Hyung, we share a room. You should've heard us leave." Hyunjin said, making me shake my head in disagreement.

"I would agree, but Soonbok came in last night, and that didn't wake either of you up," I replied as the eldest sat down to eat. Hyunjin cleaned up his dishes and sat back down to listen to our conversation.

"I saw her, she's still sleeping in your bed, curled up like a puppy. She's even holding your pillow like you're still in there." Jisung announced as he ate his breakfast. "She probably goes to you because, even though you're in the bunk beds, she knows not to wake me up unless she wants anger and sarcasm."

"Plus you're the bottom," Hyunjin said, a smirk when he saw my look of irritation at his double entendre directed towards me. Jisung sighed and looked between the two of us.

"Listen, we are an accepting and loving family, because if we weren't then our uncles' Yeosang and Jisung would not be allowed over." He told us, pausing to take a sip of his tea. "I will not tolerate such demeaning jokes between the two of you, especially since I'm in charge while eomma and appa are gone."

"Thank you, hyung," I said, hugging him. I really missed my parents, since they were out in Japan to showcase their business and get some more customers.

"But he is one," Hyunjin said with a laugh, earning a glare from his two elders. He cleared his throat and bowed. "Okay, fine. Sorry, hyungs. It wasn't funny and it won't happen again."

"Good dongsaeng." We both replied, still glaring at him as Hongjoong came in.

"Hey shawty," Jisung said, a chuckle on his face as the younger glared at him.

"Goddammit I can't live for one second can I?" He said, laughing as he collapsed on the chair across from Jisung.

"Not possible." The elder replied, laughing.

"I mean it's bad enough I have to deal with you giants on a daily basis, but I've got a stepbrother and he's gigantic. It's so frustrating." He complained, stealing some of my food from my plate.

"I'll ignore the fact that you stole my food and ask you what's got you in a mood. Is your mom asking for you to come to visit her again?" I replied, earning a nod in response and he rubbed his forehead in frustration.

"I don't understand why she can't see that I don't want to go. I literally put up a fight every time she calls and demands me to spend time with her and my half brother." He said, sighing as he leaned back in his seat.

"Hey it's just two more years right, hyung? Then you can do whatever you want." Hyunjin asked, making him nod. Then something went off in his mind, and he smiled.

"Why don't you guys come with me? I won't be so bored with my friends by my side." He offered, making both the younger and the older laugh. I looked between the two of them in confusion.

"That sounds like fun, why are you laughing?" I asked, making them laugh harder.

"No thank you. I don't like English enough to go to a place that only speaks that." Hyunjin replied, getting up. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a video game calling my name."

"Yeah, I know eomma didn't like it for that reason. Plus I don't want to accidentally stay in the same hotel I was conceived at." Jisung added, shivering at the thought while Hyunjin and I laughed.

"Guys, you'd stay with me, you know that right?" Hongjoong said, but the other two still shook their head.

"Thanks, but no thanks." They both said, leaving me and Hongjoong to ourselves.

"I guess it's just us then," I announced,  making the other nod. "I would like to travel with you, hyung."

"I would love for you to come with me, dongsaeng." He replied, a smile on his face as he shook my hand.

"Eomma says it's fine." We both flinched when Soonbok came into the room, phone in hand. She sat down next to me and leaned on my arm, sleep still calling her into its embrace.

"How long have you been listening?" I asked, earning a shrug.

"Long enough to find new blackmail stuff on Jisung Oppa if that's what you mean." She replied, earning a laugh from the two of us. "I think you guys will have fun. Remember to text me, though?"

"I will text you every night, Soonbok. And I'll send photos of my adventures, too." I replied, hugging her and ruffling her hair. "I want you to call me whenever you're not feeling good, though. Got it?"

A simple nod was all she responded with. It was enough for me, though. I smiled and kissed her forehead before returning my attention to Hongjoong to finish making the plans for our little adventure in America, my excitement growing each minute.
