Troublemakers

Chapter 11

Jiwon's POV

I looked at Hanbin as he was driving to his place. It was going to be the first time I'm visiting his house.

I felt quite excited, to be honest. I wonder if Hanbin felt the same when he visited my place.
It’s an opportunity for me to know a bit more about him, and he promised to show me some of the stuff he worked on that he doesn’t have on his phone.
He also told me a lot about his dog, and I really wanted to see it already.

Also, luckily lunch with him went fine. I could see the guys were uncomfortable but they did their best to greet Hanbin kindly.

I felt so relieved once Jinhwan said they're forgiving him. I'm so glad they're giving him a chance. Hanbin also was nervous about this although it was idea in the first place.
It was quite important for him to apologize to the guys because they are my friends and he wanted to have a good relationship with him.
Though I told him the guys doesn’t really mind we’re hanging out a lot. Only a bit uncomfortable.

“Nervous?” Hanbin asked as he parked his car.

“Not really” I smiled, shaking, “but I really want to see your place.”

“Let's go, then.” He smiled and stepped out of the car. “Thanks for today. Your friends… They look really nice. And they are really good and caring friends from what I could see.”

“They are…” I chuckled, hugging his right arm as we walked to the front of his house. He opened the door and let us in, and I was quite surprised by how wealthy Hanbin's parents are. But, honestly, I also expected that.

From what I understood, his father is a CEO of a really big company and his mother is a nurse.
He hates that because she always makes a big deal when he’s getting too sick to get out of bed and blames his ‘horrible habits’ of staying up until late.

I heard barking, noticing a dog running toward us. I'm guessing this is Hanbin’s pet.

“I hope you are not scared of dogs.” Hanbin smiled at me, kneeling to greet the running ball of fur.

I chuckled and shook my head. “As long as it doesn't bite.”

The dog was in Hanbin's arms in seconds as he got up. It looked small but had a lot of hair. I was surprised it could even breathe in there.

“What's its name?” I asked, reaching a hand to pet it.

“Aerum.”

Aerum let me pet her, sniffing my hand to understand the new smell.

“That's Jiwon.” Hanbin said, “get used to him and behave. He's going to visit here from time to time.”

I let out a chuckle when she licked me.

She was really cute, I know Hanbin told me he adopted a dog but I had no idea she would be that adorable.

How could someone abandon her?

“Wanna hold her?” Hanbin suggested, “I'll get us something to eat.”

I nodded, gently taking the small ball of fluff rom Hanbin.

She was calm in my arms, letting me pet her as Hanbin walked to the kitchen.

I followed him, looking around the place. It was really nice and didn't scream ‘yes, we have money and you don't.’

“What are you drinking? Water, juice, cola?”

“Cola.” I answered, looking around the kitchen.

Hanbin took the drinks and placed them on the counter before taking out the food and opening the cabinet to take two plates.

Hanbin's kitchen was a bit bigger than what I was used to, but I guess it's because the frame to the dining room it was connected to was wider and had no door but transparent curtains.

The kitchen itself was quite bright with white counters and cabinets but dark gray countertops and refrigerator. There was also an island in the middle with a sink, dryer for the dishes, two bowls of fruit and on the floor next to it rested Aerum's bowls.

Aerum jumped out of my arms and walked to her food bowl. I smiled amused watching her eat. Pets are really adorable, but they require so much work…
I can’t even take care of a goldfish.

“I hope you're not a picky eater like me.” Hanbin noted as he warmed food for us.

“I mostly live on junk food.” I smiled, “oh, and seafood is a bit of a problem.”

“Don't worry, it's seafood free.”

I thanked him and watched Aerum walking to him and rubbing herself of his legs. He instantly picked her up and started placing kisses over her head.

I could see she meant a lot to him, and it was cute watching Hanbin interacting with the dog. He really was different here than the image he created himself at school.

Without him to notice I took out my phone and put it on mute, taking a quick picture.

Jinhwan: Yoyo and Jiwon, update us so me and Donghyuk will know you are safe.

Yunhyeong: Someone get me out of here, please.

Donghyuk: If you can fake throwing up I'll pick you up in ten minutes. Jinhwan's here so it'll be fun.

I sighed amused, shaking my head.

Jiwon: Hang in there Yunhyeong.

Jiwon: We're okay here, so don't worry.

I put my phone away and decided to help Hanbin take the drinks and one of the plates to the dining table while he struggled to hold Aerum and to put the second plate in the microwave.

“Thanks.” He chuckled when I took the things from the counter.

I smiled at Aerum as she jumped down from his arm, looking at him.

I leaned forward, wanting a kiss. Hanbin smiled and pressed a soft kiss over my lips. I kissed him back, my heart is still beating faster than needed.

A guy like Hanbin really does deserve to be happy. He's a sweet guy and I can't see a reason
why would anyone break up with him?

“Let's eat?” He asked.

I nodded, kissing him again before making our way to the dining room.
