"Here! I'll give you a 9!" IU smiled cheekily

Jongup feigned a gasp as he watched his cards "You can't do that. You're supposed to give 6's, 7's and 8's. That's how you play it IU. That's not fair. You just can't give me a 9, I'll lose. Noooo!!"

IU giggled, hiding with her cards "Well too bad oppa, I already did"

"Aaaawww!" Jongup whined "Daehyunnie hyung! IU is cheating! She's purposely letting me loose for the 5th time! Even though she told me she'd let me win. Hyyuuunnnggg!"

Daehyun laughed not afar, sitting comfortably on the couch, with Yongguk, Himchan & Zelo, watching television "IIIUU"

"What.?" IU giggled again "This is fun oppa!"

"You can't blame IU, Uppie. You really in that game" Himchan added

Jongup scoffed "Hyung! You're supposed to be on my side!"

"Why don't you give her a 3 then, Jonguppie.? In that way you'll corner her" Daehyun suggested

"Good idea hyung!"

"Aaahh oopppaaa!" IU frowned "So you'll throw me off just like that.? You just blew my alas card"

"Sorry IU" he chuckled

Yoseob huffed silently as he sat on the couch across Daehyun "Where are the others.?"

"Youngjae & Jieun are in the kitchen area with Aunt May. Minhyuk just dragged pabo girl in the study and I have no idea why"

"Let's just hope Hyosung gets to come out in the study ALIVE" Yongguk joked

"Minhyuk hyung has been eyeing Hyosung noona for awhile" Zelo said, playing on his ipad

Daehyun raised an eyebrow, looking at Zelo who was sitting on the floor "What do you mean.?"

"He means he's checking her from head to toe. FASHION" Himchan answered "I'll give a bet, Hyosunngie will be having a new look when she comes back. 500 euros!"

Youngjae walked in, closing the door behind him "I'd go with Himchan hyung on this one!" 

"Where were you.?" Yoseob asked

"Just had to discuss some Yoo festival activities. Jieun ran off to Minhyuk. Clearly excited for Hyo's transformation"

"I was right.?!" Himchan awed "Wow! I'm good!"

Youngjae rolled his eyes, then grinning at Daehyun "Don't worry Dae, you'll love her new look. I saw it in a glance. Minhyuk cut off her long hair"

"He did what.?!" IU yelled "Really.?! I should go there! Jonguppie oppa, let's continue this later"

"W-wait IU! I was about to wiiiinn!" Jongup yelled back, watching IU ran out the room

"Later oppa! I promise!"

"That was fast" Yongguk chuckled

~~~~~~~

"Can I please open my eyes now.?" Hyosung pleaded while Minhyuk was busy brushing her hair

"Not yet noona!" Minhyuk said

"Yah Lee Minhyuk, if you cut my bangs off, I'm really gonna kill you"

He laughed "As if you can do that"

"Yah!" she fumed, raising her head up, eyes still closed

"Don't worry Hyo! You look pretty!" Jieun giggled, bringing her head down

"Don't move noona. If you keep moving, I'll really cut your bangs for good! I mean, why do you hide your forehead.? You look so innocent without your fringe"

"Unnie! Unnie! Unnie!" IU beamed as she walked excitedly in the room

"Aaahhh! Aaahh! No moving noona!" Minhyuk scolded "I'm almost done"

"Can we just please get done with this.? I've been sitting here for 1 hour with my eyes closed!"

"15 minutes noona" Minhyuk countered "It was just 15 minutes"

"Well it felt like an hour!"

"It will be if you keep moving"

"Fine. Fine" she sighed

"Whoah! You really cut her hair oppa!" IU clapped "You look so much prettier now unnie"

"Don't start with this IU. I mean, Minhyuk-ah, why are you even doing this.? I don't see a point to this"

"The point is. . . . .Through this, I'm helping you out with Daehyun hyung"

"But why.?"

"I've known hyung for ALL my life" he started, glancing at Jieun & IU "And I know that . . . . that he'll be really happy with your new look"

Hyosung knitted her eyebrows in confusion "That doesn't even make sense"

"Just keep quiet Hyo" Jieun said "Let Minhyuk do his thing"

~~~~~~~

"It's already 12:30 guys! Where are they.? I'm loooossiingg it! I'm hungry! Hungggrrrrryy!" Himchan muttered in a desperate tone "Why is that whenever it's lunch time, they are always late. It's either this or get late for breakfast or dinner"

"And why is it that whenever we wait for them, you complain.?" Daehyun spat

Himchan pouted, playing with the fork on his plate

"They'll be here in a minute" Yoseob said

"Gukkieeee" Himchan moped in a childish way, tugging Yongguk's shirt

Yongguk chuckled, patting his head "We'll start in a few minutes, okay.? Stop being a baby" 

"Lunch!" IU's voice rang throughout the room

"Sorry for the late entrance hyungs. I was caught up with noona. She was so fidgety!" Minhyuk laughed

"It's alright" Yoseob smiled "So where's your masterpiece.?"

"She's being stubborn. I just cut off her hair, no big deal. Hyosung noona! Hurry up!"

"Arasso!" Hyosung yelled

"She sounds angry" Youngjae laughed

"Oh, she's furious oppa" IU grinned "But we don't care"

Jongup & Zelo tappped their hands on the table, staring at the door "Noona! Pali!"

Jieun first stepped inside the dining area, smiling widely "Ladies and gentleman! Let me introduce, the daring! The lovely! The beautiful! The gummy! The adorable one and only! Jun Hyossuuuuuunnnggg!"

All of them except Daehyun clapped in anticipation

"Jung Daehyun's girl!" Jieun added quickly

Hyosung walked in, hanging her head low "Hey guys"

"Noona! We can't see your face" Zelo pouted

"You've seen enough of my face Zelo-ah, you'll grow tired of it"

"Yah pabo" Daehyun said 

"W-what.?" she stuttered, still looking down

"Yah"

"Aah wae.?!"

"Yah! Look at me"

"Ah what.?!" she frowned in the most cutest way Daehyun could ever think, making eye contact with him

He chuckled instantly, everyone just silent

"What's so funny.?" she asked, completely annoyed

"Nothing"

"Then why are you laughing.?!"

"Can't I.?"

"W-well. I-it depends. What are you laughing about.?"

"I said nothing"

"Doesn't seem nothing"

"Well it was certainly nothing"

"You're lying"

"Why would I lie.?"

"Because you're a jerk"

"Just because I laughed a little bit, it makes me a jerk now.?"

"You were laughing at my face, weren't you.?"

"I didn't say anything"

"You did't have to, since you laughed"

"What makes you so sure I was laughing about your face.?"

"Because I can see it through your eyes"

"Since when do you look through my eyes.?" he asked teasingly. Everyone in the room had their attention on them

"Ohohohohohoh" Youngjae laughed silently, watching them back and forth

Hyosung blushed, biting her bottom lip "Be-because .."

"Because.?" Daehyun smirked

"Do-don't try to change the subject.!"

"What subject.?"

"What do you mean what subject.?! We were clearly talking about why you were laughing at my face"

"And I told you I wasn't"

"And I told you you're a liar"

"And why am I a liar.?"

"Because I can ---"

"SEE IT THROUGH YOUR EYES!" the others said, grinning at the two of them

"We're never gonna have a chance to eat lunch if you two lovebirds keep on fighting" Yoseob joked

"Now noona, sit down and have lunch" Minhyuk smiled, grabbing her by the wrist and seating her next to Daehyun

"W-wait, isn't this your seat.?" 

Minhyuk shook his head, smiling "Not anymore"

~~~~~~~

Three days had passed and Daehyun & Hyosung is back at bickering with each other. Minhyuk on the other hand would still hang out with his favorite hyung but seems to give him some time with Hyosung. Even thought it hurts him a little, he knows all too well that it will make his hyung happy, and he's not wrong about it. Definitely not

"Thanks Minhyuk" Jieun smiled at him

"Fort what noona.?" 

"For doing all this. You know, Daehyun and Hyosung"

He nodded, looking down at the floor "It's funny, in movies, I win at this type of game. The hero should be on my side, I've known him since I was born and Hyosung noona just came into picture and stole his heart. Isn't that how it should play.?"

"But this is not a game or a movie, Minhyuk"

"I know" he smiled "I guess I'm just the type of person who can't hold a grudge to someone"

"And that's what I love about you" Youngjae interrupted "Thanks Minhyuk"

"Please stop saying thank you. It will just make me cry" he sniffed "Uughh! I'm such a loser!"

"You're not a loser, silly" 'Youngjae chuckled "You're just . . . . inlove"

"Desperately inlove" he corrected "But I'm glad hyung met Hyosung noona"

"We're glad too"

"When will they confess.?"

"That, we don't know"

"Daehyun hyung is such a turtle"

"He is . . . " Jieun laughed

They kept quiet for a moment, staring at the huge blank tv screen infront of them. Minhyuk exhaled, leaning his head against the couch "So umm, I'm leaving tonight"

"What.?" Youngjae said "Why.? Did something happen.?"

"I think we all know hyung. I don't wanna be a nuisance to Daehyun hyung and Hyosung noona"

"You're not a nuisance, Minhyuk" Jieun assured him

"It's okay noona. I've already made up my mind. Plus, I have to get busy for my new designs"

Youngjae patted his shoulder "We don't know when we'll be able to see you again"

"Soon hyung" he smiled "Soon"

"What time is your flight.?"

"8 pm"

"But it's already 7:36. Aren't you gonna say goodbye to the others.?"

"I already bid my farewell to them. Except for Daehyun hyung and Hyosung noona"

"You should tell Daehyun, he'll get mad at you if you don't"

"I doubt that hyung"

"Minhyuk .."

"It's okay hyung, really. I-I should go now. I'll see you soon"

Jieun hugged him, patting his back "Not too soon, okay.?" 

The three of them were about to leave the room when Daehyun & Hyosung suddenly stepped in

Daehyun looked at Minhyuk sternly "You're just gonna leave without saying goodbye.?" 

"Why are you leaving.?" Hyosung asked "Stay for a little while"

"Um, we'll just be outside" Youngjae excused 

Once Youngjae & Jieun were outside, Minhyuk hugged both Daehyun & Hyosung "It's better like this. Plus, I'm not really leaving. We'll still see each other soon"

"Still, you should tell me. You never keep secrets from me Minhyuk" Daehyun said disappointedly

"I didn't think you'll have enough time for me hyung"

"What are you talking about.? You're my dongsaeng. I'll always have time for you"

"Yeah, dongsaeng. But hyung, even if you guys stop me, I'm still going"

Daehyun sighed "Minhyuk --"

Minhyuk cut him off instanly, crying unknowingly "I'll see you soon hyung! I promise" 

"Why are you cryi--"

"Omo! Wh-why am I c-crying.?!" he sniffed, wiping his tears "It must be because I'm too excited to leave for Paris for my new project"

Hyosung stared at him "Minh---"

"I'll see you soon noona!" he smiled, hugging her "You two should better not waste everything I've done! When things between you two are sooooo much better, tell me okay.?!"

"M-Minhyuk. I-I"

"Bye noona!" he cried silently, hugging her again and pulled away "Hyung, take care of noona, okay.?!"

Daehyun chuckled "I will. Take care of yourself"

"I will" he nodded, staring at the two of them one last time "I'm gonna be late for my flight"

"We'll go with you to the airport" Daehyun suggested

"Andwae" he declined "Don't. It will only make things hard for me"

"Please.?" Hyosung pleaded

"It's okay noona" he smiled one last time and walked past them "Goodluck to the both of you. Fighting hyung! Fighting noona!"

Hyosung cried, bringing out her arm and fist, whispering "Fighting Minhyuk"
