Blossom 11

Lotus Blossom Love

Author's P.O.V

 

Time flew by rather quickly as it was now the third weekend since Sooyun's arrival - marking the second week since her shopping spree with the B.A.P boys and also her first encounter with Myungsoo. The two weeks went by rather uneventfully (save for the occasional little fits Daehyun had because of Sooyun), as the hype of the two new students' arrival finally died down and fangirl squeals were heard less often. Of course the greatest news of all was that Mrs. Jang finally recovered from her illness and came back as bright and happy as ever, which meant that cranky old Dictator Kim was no longer their teacher. Anyone would think that Daehyun would be happy about this - and sure, he was. But he just couldn't ignore that little feeling he had that trouble was just biding its sweet time and was going to explode in his face sooner or later like a birthday cake prank.

 

Early in the morning, Daehyun heard loud clanging sounds coming from downstairs, causing him to wake up for a few seconds before going back to sleep. No way am I going to wake up this early on a Saturday morning, he thought, before grabbing another pillow to cover his head then burying his whole body under the blanket.

 

Daehyun finally got up a few hours later, stumbling downstairs half-asleep to grab a bottle of cold water from the fridge. It wasn't until he took a swig from the bottle, put it back in the fridge and even closed the door did he notice that the dining table was filled to the edges with bowls, plates and dishes of magnificent food.

 

It was exactly like that feast Sooyun made a few weeks back when she first met the B.A.P guys - except this time, the food was all western brunch foods. French toast, croissants, waffles & pancakes, fruitcake, muffins, bacon & eggs, sausages, hash browns, garlic bread, mashed potato, egg tarts, danishes and even baked apple pie oatmeal lay spread out before Daehyun's gleaming eyes.

 

Sooyun must've heard his tummy grumble, as he heard her giggle and looked up to find her hunched over something. Moving closer towards her, Daehyun saw that she was adding the finishing touches to the Peaches N Cream breakfast cake.

 

"S-Sooyun… Did you make all of this?" he asked in amazement.

 

"Nope, I made a quick trip back to heaven and sent it down from there," she joked.

 

Daehyun rolled his eyes at her. "Aish," he grumbled, then flicked her forehead with his fingers.

 

"Ouch! Hey!" Sooyun protested, reaching over to flick his forehead, but missed and landed a blow on his left cheek instead.

 

"Yah! You have stuff on your fingers!" he complained. Sure enough, there were tiny specks of white icing powder left on his face where her fingers touched.

 

"Here Daehyunnie, let me clean that," she said. Before he could dust it away himself, she tippy-toed up to his face and pecked away the specks before moving back. He stood there, frozen and shell-shocked, whilst clutching his now flushed red cheeks with wide eyes that were struggling to concentrate on the person standing in front of him. Sooyun just giggled at his reaction, completely unaware as to what she just did being a not-so-ordinary thing to do.

 

Turning him around by the shoulders, she guided him all the way to the stairs.

 

"Now hurry go and wash up, Daehyunnie! The others will be here soon." With that, she gave him a final push before disappearing off into the kitchen.

 

Daehyun reached his room and closed the door behind him, finally snapping out of his daze. Wha-what the! That girl doesn't know what she's doing… He shook his head. Thinking about how her lips had touched his cheek, he blushed red again, before quickly going to wash up before the guys arrived.

 

It wasn't long before he made his way downstairs and heard bustling from outside the door. Flinging open the door, he found his bunch of friends standing outside with Yongguk's index finger still hovering above the doorbell. "Oh, hey Daehyun! That was fast."

 

Daehyun chuckled. "Yeah, come in. Sooyun's got something amazing prepared for all of us."

 

Five pairs of eyes glimmered as they all opened their mouths to ask the same thing. "Is it food?! FOOD!" With that, they all bolted into the house before Daehyun could even answer them. Quickly slamming the door close, he ran after them.

 

"Yah! Don't eat all the food!"

 

B.A.P came to a halt as soon as they reached the living room, eyeing the glorious food which was now presented on two coffee tables before them.

 

"WOAH MAH GOD!!!" five voices hollered in unison. Even though Daehyun had already seen it earlier this morning, he couldn't help but to be surprised again at the sight. Especially since there seems to be so much more food than the 7 of us could ever finish, he thought sceptically. But of course, his fatty food-loving self was bound to emerge sooner or later. Nah, it's food. I'll finish it, heh heh.

 

"Well hello to you boys too, Yongguk-oppa, Himchan-oppa, Youngjae-ah, Jonguppie, Junhongie," Sooyun greeted heartily. "Come eat! I made brunch this time!"

 

As soon as she gave them her 'permission' to start devouring, B.A.P quickly scrambled over to find a seat around their favourite foods.

 

"Wuah, I don't remember the last time I've ever eaten like this!" Yongguk said between mouthfuls.

 

"Noona's most definitely an angel from heaven!" Zelo piped up with a wide grin.

 

"Well…" Sooyun paused and pretended to think. "I am quite the genius when it comes to food, if I may say so myself.

 

Daehyun rolled his eyes at her as per usual and wrapped his hand around her wrist to pull her down to sit next to him. "Yes, yes, Sooyun. Just eat your marvelous, genius-made food already."

 

As if to answer his previous suspicions, she said "We're waiting on more people." Instantly, the guys stopped eating and stared at her confusedly.

 

Himchan frowned. "More people? But we're all here. Who else could there be?"

 

Daehyun's eyebrows furrowed. She's not inviting randoms over to my house, is she?

 

Sooyun's giggle was followed by the sound of the doorbell resonating through the house. "Ah, that must be them!" She got up to answer the door, as the others stood up after her to see who the people were.

 

And of course, seeing as how Sooyun had spent the last two weeks trying to get them to get along, it was… Kim Myungsoo. And he wasn't alone, as Kim Sunggyu stood right next to him with a smile.

 

 

Daehyun's P.O.V

 

I mentally facepalmed. Honestly, I should've known that she would invite that Myungsoo. But I didn't expect Kim Sunggyu to be here either. But then again I suppose he's an alright guy… I'd prefer him over Kim Myungsoo anyday.

 

"Myungsoo-oppa, Sunggyu-oppa, welcome to Daehyunnie's house ~~~" Sooyun said enthusiastically.

 

Oh? She actually remembers that this is my house? Then what in the world possessed this girl to invite people over not only without my permission, but without me knowing either?! I glared at Myungsoo and grumbled to myself.

 

"Hello beautiful angel." That annoying jerk winked at her.

 

"Thank you Sooyunnie, for being so thoughtful as to invite us over." Sunggyu shifted his gaze to us and greeted us. "Hey guys, long time no see. Yongguk-ssi, Himchan-ssi, Daehyun-ssi, Youngjae-ssi, Jongup-ssi and Zelo-ssi, was it?"

 

We nodded and greeted back, as Sooyun dragged the two of them in. "Come in oppas, I made brunch!"

 

I silently trudged behind the group making their way to the living room, as Sunggyu checked out my house while doing so. "Daehyun, dude! How'd you manage to get such a nice house?"

 

"Uh, thanks… I guess," I mumbled uncertainly.

 

As soon as the two 'intruders' set their eyes on Sooyun's work, their reaction was the same as ours. We couldn't help but to laugh at that.

 

"WUOAHH!!!"

 

After admiring the food for a few seconds, they whipped their heads around to stare at Sooyun in incredulity.

 

Sooyun laughed. "Aigoo, why do you all react in the same way?"

 

"Woah, Sooyunnie, you made all this?!" Sunggyu asked. Sooyun replied with a "Yep!", to which he responded with a thumbs up and a "Daebak!"

 

To my complete and utter annoyance, Myungsoo stepped right up to her and gazed straight in her eyes in a way that made me feel real uncomfortable just by watching. Everyone else was watching them intently.

 

"Of course, my beautiful angel here is perfect in every way possible," he said. I presumed he was trying to be romantic.

 

Ugh! I visibly shivered. That grotesque creep.

 

Before anything more disgusting could come out of that guy, I all-too-purposefully strode right through the two, breaking their eye contact.

 

"Yo, come get your food before it gets cold," I said, before taking my seat and pulling Sooyun to plop down right beside me. I ignored the glares I could feel burning the back of my head from you-know-who, who had no choice but to sit next to Sunggyu opposite Sooyun. Many thanks to good-old Junhongie, who sped down next to her other side.

 

Out of the blue, Sooyun excused herself and dragged me away to the kitchen with her. The others continued feasting, but I noticed Myungsoo eyeing us rather unhappily, much to my delight.

 

"So Daehyunnie… you're not angry that I invited them over without asking you?" she asked me carefully.

 

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh, didn't think you'd even notice that you even needed to ask me," I muttered pointedly.

 

"Ngaww, Daehyunnie ~~~ " Sooyun grabbed my arm and started swinging it back and forth, as I just pouted and looked away from her. "They're nice people. The others seem to like Sunggyu-oppa too."

 

"Well…" I started. "Sunggyu's alright… but Myungsoo? Tch.",

 

"Aww… Daehyunnie ~~~ " she cooed. I still refused to look at her. "You want me to be happy right? I just want to make friends… don't you want me to make friends too? Daehyunnie ah ~~~ Oppa ~~~ "

 

I sighed. As usual, it was hard not to cave in to her. "Yes, yes…"

 

Sooyun threw her arms around me. "Yay! Thank you Daehyunnie-oppa!"

 

"You might as well invite all of the Infinite members in that case…" I absentmindedly muttered. But unfortunately, my words floated to her strangely Daehyun-attentive ears, as she immediately beamed.

 

"Really?! I can?! Yay! I love you Daehyunnie-oppa ~~~ I'll get Sunggyu-oppa and Myungsoo-oppa to call them now!" she squealed, before skipping out of the room ecstatically.

 

I gawked after her. What?! "Yah! Sooyun!"

 

But I was too late, because literally only one minute later, the doorbell rang again. Groaning and facepalming, I dragged myself to the front door where the others had already crowded. Youngjae came up to me.

 

"Yah, Daehyun. You really don't mind Sooyunnie inviting more people over to your place?"

 

I shot him an exasperated look.

 

"Well, that answers my question," Youngjae said. "Obviously not. You two really do need to work on your communication."

 

My glare shut him up. For the time being, that is...

 

"Hey Hyung!" I heard a bunch of familiar voices say. I silently groaned at the sight of the 5 other members. How the hell did they get here so fast?!

 

"Let me introduce you guys," Sunggyu said. "This here is Lee Sooyun. She's B.A.P's friend and lives here with Daehyun. Sooyunnie, these strange people you see standing before you are unfortunately the rest of my friends." Sunggyu sighed while shaking his head jokingly.

 

A sea of protests followed his words. "Hey!" "Hyung!" "How could you say that?!" "Yah!" "And in front of pretty angel noona here too!"

 

Sunggyu rolled his eyes at his dongsaengs. He gestured to each of them as he introduced their names. "Dongwoo, Woohyun, Hoya and Sungyeol are seniors at Woollim High too. But Sungjong here is a year younger, the same age as Jongup and Zelo."

 

Sooyun flashed them her sweet smile. "Hello boys, I'm Lee Sooyun!" She curtsied.

 

Woohyun slung an arm around Myungsoo. "Yah, you rascal L! Knowing such a beauty like Sooyunnie here and not introducing us to her!"

 

"Yeah! No wonder you didn't want us to come over today!" Sungyeol piped.

 

"Too bad L Hyung!" Sungjong came up and hugged Sooyun. Yah, why does everyone keep doing that? "You can't hog Sooyunnie noona anymore!"

 

Myungsoo said nothing but scowled at them.

 

Jealously, Zelo strided up and pulled Sooyun out of his hug. "Sooyunnie-noona's my noona!"

 

"I want to be noona's friend too!" Sungjong hugged Sooyun again and tried pulling her to his side, but Zelo tugged her back on his side. This went back and forth until their little quarrel ultimately turned into a tug-of-war. With Sooyun in the middle. Aish, Sooyunnie, so much stuff happens because of you.

 

"Noona might get hurt…" Jongup fretted in a small voice. I stepped forward to help her. But before I could, somebody else had already broken up the two and pulled Sooyun away from them. Sooyun looked up to see Hoya, the quiet one. "Thank you, Hoya-ssi!" she smiled at him, who nodded back with a small smile.

 

Dongwoo appeared beside her, flashing her that wide smile of his. "Hello Sooyunnie! I hope we can become good friends!" Dongwoo was always the friendly one, if I remembered correctly.

 

Sooyun nodded back. "Of course, Dongwoo-ssi!"

 

"Okay, you lot," Sunggyu interrupted. "Come on in, but behave yourselves! It's Daehyun's house, so don't ruin anything!"

 

"Yes, Grandpa Gyu!" Infinite chorused, before snickering at their Hyung.

 

"Yah! You bunch of-" he started to say, but they had already left after the skipping Sooyun, who was leading the way to the living room after mentioning something about food.

 

Yongguk-hyung slung an arm around Sunggyu's shoulder. "Being the oldest doesn't almost mean the others will listen to you. It's ok, Sunggyu, I understand."

 

Himchan-hyung came and slung an arm from the other side. "I often get bullied by the others too. It's ok, Sunggyu, I understand."

 

The three trudged off, as a look of defeat smouldered poor Sunggyu's face. I shook my head. Well, the past two weeks or so have been rather quiet, so, yeah. I guess it was about time something happened.

 

A massively loud "WWWUUUUUUOOOOOOAAAAHHHH!!!!" brought me back to reality. I looked around. "What the? Everyone left already?" I hurriedly headed into the living room, to see Sooyun giggling.

 

"Yep! All guys have the same reaction!" she concluded, referring to everyone's reactions to her cooking. Surely enough, the newly arrived quintet were frozen in their spots, eyes glued on the feast laid out before them. Nothing new.

 

Myungsoo finally broke his silence. "Well, it's only natural, seeing how unbelievably wonderful my beautiful angel's cooking skills are," he said smoothly. He winked at her and I couldn't help but to shoot him yet another glare.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

To sum up the past hour, the fourteen of us stuffed our stomachs until we felt sick and couldn't eat no more. But, that didn't stop some of us from forcing more delicious food down our throats past our capacity. Damn it Sooyun, why does your food have to be so good?!

 

But truth be told, I did stuff myself a bit more than usual - seeing as how I was kind of cranky about how Infinite's maknae and that rat bast- *cough* I mean, Myungsoo, sneakily stole Zelo's and my seat next to Sooyun. Zelo over there wasn't very happy at all, but gave way to Sungjong purely because he didn't want to make things hard for Sooyun.

 

But other than that, everyone was getting along pretty well with everyone else. Yongguk-hyung and Himchan-hyung already seemed pretty close with Sunggyu-hyung, Youngjae and Sungyeol looked like they were happily plotting some evil plan together, the two quiet people called Jongup and Hoya seemed to hit it off, whilst the remaining two, Dongwoo and Woohyun, got along with practically everybody. Not to mention each and every one of them being in love with Sooyun. I've got to admit, they're pretty alright and all, and I don't mind them over anymore. With the exception of that annoying jerk of course. How I'd love to kick him out while the rest of us are laughing at him from the inside.

 

"Hey, let's play a game!" Himchan suggested.

 

"Like what?" Yongguk asked.

 

"Truth or dare!" Dongwoo said excitedly.

 

"Yeah, spin-the-bottle truth or dare!" Sungyeol added.

 

And so, we went with that after finding a random empty plastic water bottle. The first spin landed on Yongguk-hyung, who chose truth.

 

"Who do you like better, Himchan-hyung or Sunggyu-hyung?" Woohyun asked.

 

"Sunggyu," Yongguk-hyung answered without hesitation. We all burst out laughing, as Himchan-hyung shot him a look of both shock and disbelief.

 

"Yah! How could you! Ah, jinjja!" he whined.

 

A few more rounds passed and I won't point out any names, but a few of them had some pretty sad dares to do... Thank God the bottle didn't land on me...

 

Youngjae reached forward to spin the bottle. Halting to a stop, this time the bottle landed on ... Sooyun.

 

"Truth or dare Sooyunnie?" he asked.

 

"Truth!" she said fearlessly. With that, I saw Youngjae and Sungyeol exchange looks which I found very frightening indeed. What are those two up to?! I furrowed my eyebrows at them.

 

"So, Sooyunnie," Sungyeol began. "If you were to go on a date with one person in this room... who would you pick?"

 

My breath hitched in my throat as I heard that question. I glanced over at Youngjae questioningly, knowing that he and Sungyeol were planning something, just to find him giving me a certain look with a smirk. I glared at him.

 

"A date?" Sooyun tilted her head to the side curiously.

 

"Yep," Sungyeol answered, with a contented smile/smirk on his face. "A whole fun-day-out with one person in this room. Who would you choose?"

 

"Hmmm..." Sooyun pondered for a bit, before opening to answer. "I would choose..."

 

My heart jolted hard, as the thirteen of us leaned in curiously to hear her answer.
