Baejin Gets Annoyed

Best Friends Drag You Out Of Bed™

"You would think that you'd get something done," sighed King Jeonghan.

Seungcheol looked up from his bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch innocently. "I've been doing a lot of things today. What about you?"

"I slept. You need to take proper care of your body you know," reminded King Jeonghan.

"Mhm," King Seungcheol mumbled through his tasty cereal. "Whatever."

Jeonghan ruffled his mused hair. "So what did you do today? It's the middle of the day and you actually got something done?" Unbelieving, he put his hands on his hips.

Seungcheol muttered something that Jeonghan couldn't hear in response.

"Please say it so I can hear it. You're a king and you can't enunciate? Preposterous!" 

Seungcheol swallowed the last of his cinnamon squares. "I sent some servants to deliver a letter. That's basically it." He studied his bowl, suddenly very interested in its design.

Jeonghan raised his eyebrows, but didn't question it. Instead, he stole a bite of his spouse's cereal. 

"Hey!" exclaimed King Seungcheol. 

"Hay is for horses," teased King Jeonghan. "I'm going to plan our son's wedding, so leave me be."

"He's only a teenager!"

"How endearing, you still think he's a teenager."

"Wait, what?"

"I must be prepared for the future! You may continue scheming about Samhwi or whatever you call them. I'll do the other stuff. Bye!" Jeonghan stuck his tongue out at Seungcheol and ran out of the room.

Seungcheol shook his head. What was he going to do about his angel? After pondering for a bit, he made a decision he knew Jihoon would not like.

"Call the court jesters," he ordered to Jihoon who had watched the entire conversation. "I need their advice."

When Guanlin woke up, he had to recollect his memory to remember where he was. He was sprawled on the couch he was sitting on when Jisung was inspecting him. The dark cushions actually felt comfy for a new sofa.

"Are you awake?" Seonho asked. He had been assigned to watch over Guanlin.

"If my eyes are open, then yes." Guanlin yawned. "How long was I asleep?"

"Long enough to make me almost doze off."

"Half an hour?"

"Ha, that's funny. Two hours." 

"Two hours!? Why didn't you wake me up?"

 "Because I wanted to watch you sleep." 

"That's creepy, Seonho."

"You snore, by the way."

"Goodbye." Guanlin grabbed his things and rushed out of the room. Unfortunately, Jisung blocked his way out of the building. 

"Going so soon?" Jisung remarked. 

Flashbacks of horror movies played in Guanlin's head. If they attacked him, he could try to fight them off with his limbs. Alert, his eyes searched for potential exits.

"We have some food for you to eat." Jisung offered Guanlin a plate of small treats.

"No thank you," Guanlin declined. "I really need to go." He mentally prayed Prince Samuel and Daehwi didn't return to the castle. If they had returned without Guanlin, King Seungcheol would be very suspicious.

"I see. Well, you suffered no life threatening injuries, just be very cautious when sitting down," advised the doctor in training. "And no more running on ice."

"Sir, yes sir!" Guanlin gave a salute and a lopsided grin. "Bye!" He dashed away, not sure whether to thank them or report them for being unnerving. Either way, he had some people to find. The question was, how?

The lemon meringue pie turned out to be very tasty. Jinyoung felt very proud of himself for doing most of the work. He made note to bake it again with Jihoon. (Not only because he was good company)

Unluckily, Jinyoung had to wash the dishes at the end of the snack. He disliked doing the dishes very much. The bakery's dishwasher had been broken for a while, and Jihoon didn't want to replace it. The tower of dirty plates, bowls, and utensils taunted Jinyoung. He sighed and got to work.

"I want to go to the Winter Festival," whined Jihoon after Jinyoung finished. "I'd like to play their games."

"Then go yourself." Jinyoung blamed the huge amount of work. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have been so tired and maybe he'd have the strength to go.

"But I want to go with someone!" Jihoon pouted, which didn't help the situation or Jiinyoung. "Come on, let's go." He tugged on Jinyoung's arm.

"I feel too tired," complained Jinyoung. "The festival lasts for a few days or something, right?"

"It doesn't matter, I want to go now!" Jihoon stomped his foot.

"Why can't you be considerate and let me rest first?!" 

Silence filled the empty air. Jihoon's face contorted into a hurt look. Confusion and sadness could be seen clearly on his delicate features. 

Jinyoung ran a hand through his hair. "Jihoon, I'm just a little exhausted. I'll go to the festival with you later."

"Ok." Jihoon hid his displeasure well, but Jinyoung knew him long enough to know that he was still hurt.

"Fine! I'll go now," Jinyoung caved in. Why was he always helpless against his hyung? Jinyoung put on his coat and other winter necessities. 

"Yay!" Jihoon latched onto his dongsaeng's arm and smiled brightly.

"Let's go," said Jinyoung. He ignored the blush on his own face that wasn't from the cold.

Seongwoo tripped over a stuffed teddy bear when he left to check on his new found friends. (If you could even call them that.) Samuel and Daehwi had gone to the convenience store for dusters or something similar to that. 

He picked the innocent looking bear by the arms tentatively. Who in the world would abandon such an adorable stuffed animal? Seongwoo then noticed a piece of paper carefully tucked in the soft, velvety bow tied to its neck. Plucking it out, he unfolded it and gently placed the teddy bear in the crook of his arms. 

'Dear new neighbor, 
Hello! I'm Kang Daniel, your neighbor right across from your apartment. Maybe we'll meet sometime. I wanted to give this present to you. It's for making your new apartment more like home. I hope you take good care of it! I'm sorry I couldn't cook you anything, I only found out about you moving in earlier. Welcome to your new home! (I'm passing on the good neighbor vibe, so make sure you do the same to any new people! Thanks.)
From, 
Kang Daniel'

Seongwoo gazed at the teddy bear. It was his first gift he received to make his new home a bit more cheerful. He was sure to treasure it greatly.

I really want to see their reaction when they find out who Samuel really is.

On another note, I was aware of Hoya leaving and it is sad since I feel like Infinite have been doing really well together. BUT, what are the Carat problems? I have been detached from the Kpop world because of exams and IDK ANYTHING HELP ME. Lol sorry to bother you haha
