Around 10:30, Younghoon and I said our byes after he took me home. When I got home, the first floor was dead silent, all of the lights turned off. I took my shoes off and quietly walked upstairs, gently peeking in Taehyun's room.
He was on his bed listening to KRNB music with his LED lights on, making his room feel relaxing and calming like he always does. He notices me at the door and smiles in relief.
"I'm glad you're home, noona. Go take a shower and try to get rest, okay?" He looks at me. "Eric hyung's in your room."
"Sleep early, Taehyun." I smile at him.
"My members are coming over to hang out tomorrow. Is that okay, noona?"
I smile after remembering about his TXT members. I nod my head instantly and he smiles wider from happiness.
"They're welcome to come over any time, Taehyun." I say.
"Thanks, noona. Goodnight, I love you!" He blows me a kiss cutely.
"Goodnight, Hyun." I reply and go into the bathroom to shower after getting clothes from my room closet.
When I finished taking a shower, I went into my room to see Eric with the blanket wrapped around him and his expression looking as sad as ever. He notices me and smiles a little.
"You're back." He says.
"Yeah." I nod.
I dry my hair then hang up my towel.
"Come get into bed with me!" He whines.
"Shut up, you baby." I smile.
I lay in bed next to him and stare at the ceiling while he's playing games on his phone; I couldn't help but worry about Sunwoo. I felt horrible for leaving him all alone in the hospital.. but just as Younghoon said, he's in good care.
I'll stop seeing him once he wakes up. After he wakes up, I'm not going to speak to him again. I think it's best that way. I doubt he wants to speak to me, either.
"What are you thinking about, Hyunnie?" Eric wraps his arm around my waist, his head laying next to mine.
"I'm just a bit worried." I sigh.
"About Sunwoo?" I nod at his question.
He stays silent for a little bit, then speaks up. "I'm sure he'll be okay. Don't worry so much, you'll get pimples."
"Shut up, Eric." I laugh. "You'll try to make up with him, right?" I frown.
"I don't know.." he mumbles. "I don't know how to feel. You didn't deserve that type of treatment from him, you didn't even do anything."
"I know." I sigh.
"Will you stay home with me tomorrow, Jihyun? Please?"
"Eric, you know I want to visit him.."
"The other hyungs can visit him! Please, Jihyun. I want you with me."
"Okay, Eric. Taehyun's members are coming over, anyway. I haven't seen them in a long time." I grin a bit.
"I'm going to bet they all like you, too."
"Shut up, Eric. Don't be dramatic. They're my little brother's group members, for fuck's sake." I breathe out in exasperation.
"So? One of them is your age, one is a year older than you, one is a year younger, one is two years younger! Age doesn't matter."
"Don't be a jealous little bitch." I laugh out loud.
"I'm not jealous, just looking out for you!"
"Instead of worrying about who likes me, you should really make up with Sunwoo. For me and your hyungs."
"I don't know, Jihyun.."
"Please?"
"We'll see."
Next day
I woke up around 12 in the afternoon; I kind of overslept, since I was so exhausted yesterday and came home a bit late. I can hear their voices downstairs, so I got out of bed and freshened up.
I walked downstairs to see only the TXT members including my brother, Taehyun; Eric wasn't at my house anymore.
"Where's Eric, Taehyun?" I ask, walking into the kitchen.
"He has to go over his aunt's house." My brother responded.
"H-Hi, Jihyun noona!" I hear Hueningkai stutter and I smile.
"I haven't seen you in so long, I missed you!" Beomgyu shouts to me.
"We ALL missed her, dip shit." Yeonjun argues.
"Hey, guys." I sit down with them at the sofa after drinking a glass of water.
After Soobin notices I sat next to him, he flashes his deep dimples at me and turns red. I smile at him in awe.
"How's everything? How's promotions?" I ask them.
"Over~ so we have free time." Beomgyu coos happily.
"Soobin really looked good in your PUMA music video." I put my hand on Soobin's thigh.
"What about the rest of us, noona?" Kai pouts.
"All of you did," I giggle. "Soobin stuck out to me."
"T-Thanks, Jihyun..!" Soobin gushes.
"Soobin's going to brag about that for the next two months." Yeonjun sighs.
"Am not!" The bunny argues.
"How's Jungkook and the others?" I ask them.
"They're good~~ Jungkook hyung's hair is so pretty.." Taehyun gasps.
"Hyungs said that they wanted to see you, since it's been a long time." Yeonjun looks at me with a grin.
"Really?" I smile.
"Yeah! They miss you, too!" Beomgyu exclaims.
"Do you have a boyfriend yet, noona?" Hueningkai looks at me.
"Nah." I snicker.
"Soobin's totally stoked that you said you don't have a boyfriend." Yeonjun laughs loudly.
"What the hell are you talking about, hyung! Leave me alone." Soobin crosses his arms like a baby.
"Noona's been single for a while." Taehyun says, nodding.
"That is correct." I agree with my brother.
"That's so surprising! Noona, you're so pretty and you have so much handsome guy friends!" Beomgyu gasps loudly.
"You don't have to call me noona, I'm only a year older than you, Gyu." I chuckle. "I'm not looking for a relationship."
"Now Soobin's sad.." Yeonjun smirks playfully.
"Get off my ass, hyung." Soobin glares at him.
"Noona's friends seemed really into her, though." Taehyun looks at me skeptically.
"Not true." I disagree.
"The tall guy with brown hair?" He mentions Younghoon. "And Eric hyung, and the one with red hair?"
"Don't overthink." I shake my head.
"They told me that they were fighting over you, noona. All of them are like, in love with you."
"Who are you talking about?" Yeonjun asks.
"My noona's school friends." My brother replies.
"Soobin hyung has more competition." Kai laughs like a dolphin.
"You guys are always attacking me!"
