Vernon sat on the couch in the living room, his face etched with a look of astonishment. His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped in disbelief. He whispered to himself, "Wow, I was right. It's her. Sana-noona likes that girl." 

Lost in his thoughts, he paused for a moment, still processing the revelation. Then, a burst of laughter escaped from him, and he instinctively grasped the top of his head with both hands. "I don't really know what I want in life, but I think I could be a detective right now," he exclaimed. 

His train of thought was abruptly interrupted when he heard a voice from behind. "Excuse me, but what are you doing? Who are you talking to?" It was Seungkwan, wearing a perplexed expression. 

"Oh, uh... no one. Just talking to myself, I guess." 

Seungkwan blinked multiple times, trying to make sense of the situation. He came to a conclusion and muttered, "Everyone in this house is so weird." He tilted his head, considering the thought of getting a school dorm. He whispered to himself, "Should I just get a school dorm? I'm afraid staying here will turn me dumb." 

Vernon couldn't help but laugh and retorted, "Hey, you have your own weirdness too!" 

"Then tell me what!" 

"It's not what. It's just who you are. You're weird because you are Seungkwan-hyung." 

Seungkwan rolled his eyes, pretending to be offended, and joked, "That's not a nice thing to say." He sighed, feeling hungry. "Is nobody cooking dinner?" he asked. 

"I don't think so. I just had cereal for dinner." 

"How many times do we have to tell you to eat a proper meal?" 

"There's no one cooking! What am I supposed to eat? At least I didn't go hungry." 

Shaking his head in disbelief, "You're such a stubborn boy, really," Seungkwan exclaimed. 

Vernon smiled and stood up, giving his brother a sweet side hug. "Why don't you cook something for me, hyung?" he suggested. 

"You know I can only make ramyeon, right?" Seungkwan said, looking at him seriously. 

Before Vernon could utter a word, another brother, carrying a water bottle, appeared. "Wonwoo-hyung!" he called out. 

"Don't bother, Vernon-ah. He doesn't know how to cook either," Seungkwan interjected. 

Wonwoo approached them with a subtle smile and asked, "Why? Are you guys hungry?" 

Seungkwan burst into laughter, "Why are you asking like you can make a meal for us?" he teasingly asked. 

"Is nobody else awake? Where are the others?" Wonwoo asked with a chuckle. 

Just then, Seungcheol entered the living room, looking like he had just woken up from a nap. "What's going on? Why are you all just standing there?" he asked. 

Seungkwan turned to Vernon and Wonwoo, "He's no use either," he said. 

"Doesn't he know how to cook?" 

"Hey, I do know how to cook!" 

"I know that, hyung, but will you cook dinner for us? No, right?" Seungkwan interrupted. 

Wonwoo laughed, amused by their eldest brother's flustered expression. "I'm too lazy," Seungcheol admitted. 

"See? He'd rather go back to bed than cook something for us." 

Seungcheol's gaze shifted to the front yard, "Isn't that Jun?" he asked. 

"Yes, he's with Sana-noona." 

Wonwoo chimed in, "Ah, right, Jun is a great cook. Why didn't we think of asking him?" 

"He was busy talking with noona, so I didn't want to interrupt." 

Seungcheol furrowed his eyebrows, concerned. "Why? Does Sana have a problem? Is someone bothering her at school again?" he asked. 

Seungkwan chuckled, placing his hands on his brother's shoulders and giving him a playful massage. "You're getting too emotional, hyung. Calm down," he muttered. 

Jun had just concluded his heartfelt conversation with Sana, feeling a sense of fulfillment for being someone she trusted with her thoughts. He couldn't help but feel a pang of insecurity before, thinking he wasn't as close to her as the other boys in the house. 

Their moment was interrupted by the sound of the front yard door opening. Both of them turned their heads to see Seungcheol and the others walking towards them. "Why? Why are you all gathered here?" Jun asked. 

Seungcheol noticed the cans of beer in Jun and Sana's hands and asked, "Why are you drinking without having dinner first?" However, he couldn't resist taking a sip from Jun's can.  

Seungkwan burst into laughter, remarking, "He just asked them that and did the same thing anyway." 

Jun chuckled at the realization that none of them knew how to cook, except for Seungcheol, who was often just too lazy to do household chores. "Where is Mingyu?" he asked.  

Wonwoo replied, "Min's sleeping."  

"And what about Dokyeom?"  

Seungkwan answered, "I went to their room, and he and Joshua-hyung are also sleeping." 

Sana, with her low alcohol tolerance, was already feeling tipsy and struggling to speak. "Why is everyone... already sleeping?" she managed to ask.

"Are you okay, noona?" Seungkwan asked teasingly. He couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Sana's flushed face. 

 Seungcheol joined in the laughter before turning to Jun, scolding him, "Hey, how could you let her drink? She can't handle it! Now, who's going to take care of her?" he exclaimed. 

Before he could continue his scolding, Sana interjected, "Vernonie, can I use the speaker? Let's play some music and turn it up really loud."  

"See? At this rate, she'll wake up everyone, including the neighbors."
