24

I wasn't able to take a nap, because they kept bickering and arguing with each other that it went through one ear and out the other. Eric kept clinging onto me which was fine, but Sunwoo's loud raised voice made me stay awake the whole time.

Right now, the three of us are currently doing our own thing; I'm playing League of Legends, while the two are either on the bed watching movies or playing games on their phone. Luckily they got the memo that I was trying to concentrate on League, so they stopped bothering me for a long time.

Every now and then, they'd creep up behind my shoulder and cling onto me, but stop after a few seconds. I think they knew I would have beat their asses if they distracted me too much.

After a few hours I finally decided to stop playing: too much gaming is bad for your eyes, and I think my eyes have been through enough already. I turned my PC off and stood up, stretching since I've been sitting for hours.

I look over and the guys are still on the bed doing their own thing, fully engrossed in what they were doing. I put on some fuzzy socks since the floor was cold and went downstairs to eat something.

I looked in the fridge and cabinets, there wasn't much to eat unless I wanted to cook: I decided to eat oatmeal and an apple instead, since I didn't have a big appetite anyway. I was in the kitchen preparing the oatmeal and cutting up some apples into slices.

I felt a pair of strong arms around my waist and hard abs press against my back; I could tell it was Sunwoo based off of his natural scent that I recognize every time.

"I'm trying to cut my apples, Sunwoo.." I sigh.

"I can't hug you?" I hear him pout.

"You can't, unless you want your eye to be poked out."

"Hey hey, that's mean!" He whines. "But, ya know, you really should put on some longer pants. It's a bit frustrating seeing you like this." He whispers in my ear, giving me chills.

"Sunwoo, I will seriously stab your eyeballs with this knife and feed it to a farm of goats."

He chuckles childishly and lets go of me.

I brought the plate of sliced apples and bowl of oatmeal to the dinner table, going back to grab a spoon as well. I sat down at the table, eating while checking my messages.

Sunwoo sat down next to me on the right side and reached over to pull down my shirt; I look at him then at my shirt, noticing he pulled it down to hide my pants. I stare at him with confusion and he blushes a little, eating an apple slice while being shy.

"Where's Eric?" I ask while eating oatmeal.

"You guys just love each other so much, huh?" He scoffs a bit.

"Of course we do." I snort.

"W-What..? You and Eric..?"

"No, dumb ass. Not like that." I flick his forehead, making him yelp.

"He's upstairs playing games. He said his legs hurt, but won't tell me why."

"His legs hurt?" I look at Sunwoo, waiting for confirmation.

"Yeah. I'm guessing they're just aching."

"No..." I mumble.

I get up and speed walk upstairs into my room, looking at Eric trying to massage his legs. I frown and walk over to him, grabbing his hands so he doesn't touch his legs.

"You know you shouldn't touch your legs when they hurt." I look at him with a serious face. "Why didn't you say anything, Eric?"

"I didn't want to worry you." He whispers.

I sigh deeply and go into my drawer to get out some stickers that had healing oil on it, so I can stick them on his legs. I opened the packs and peeled them off, looking at Eric.

"Where does it hurt?" I ask him.

"Here." He points to each place, letting me stick the stickers on.

Once done, I threw away the wrappers and stood up. "Come downstairs and eat apples with me and Sunwoo."

"But my legs-"

"They'll feel better soon." I say to him.

He smiles at me cutely and stands up, following me downstairs. I sit back down and Eric sits next to me on the left, leaving me in the middle of them again.

"Sunwoo, I told you not to tell her!" Eric whines.

"She's your best friend, so..." Sunwoo shrugs.

"You need to tell me next time, dumb ass." I glare at Eric.

"It feels like a burden!" Eric blushes.

"Shut up. Nothing is a burden if I'm helping you, stupid butt." I smack his head.

"Eric, did you know Hyunjoon is coming back?" Sunwoo says. "He's moving in with us!"

"What?! No way!!" Eric bursts out.

"The hyungs just told us in the group chat today."

"He's coming back??" Eric smiles happily.

"Jihyun, Hyunjoon is one of our best friends. He had to take a break from school because of his ankle problems. His nickname is Hwall." Sunwoo tells me.

"Ah, that's interesting.. I'm happy for you guys." I nod, eating an apple slice.

"I think he'll like you~" Eric coos.

"Doesn't everyone like Jihyun?"
