*DING*

Lee Hongki stepped out of the elevator with groceries bags on his hands and a beautiful young lady on his side.

"Ah, we forgot to buy something for dessert!" exclaimed Hongki as they walked through the hall.

"It's okay, this is more than enough." The lady pointed at the ingredients they just bought at the supermarket.

"No~ Appetizer, main course, dessert. That's how it rolls!" he whined.

"You have any fruits? I can make a fruit salad. Hmm?"

"I don't want a fruit salad." he pouted.

"What about the cheesecake I sent to you two days ago?"

"The boys came yesterday and ate ‘em all..."

"Really? Did they like it?"

"I didn't ask. I was too pissed. They really ate them all, not even a single bite left for me." he ranted with his usual aegyo as they reached his apartment door.

"Aw, don't worry I'll make another one for you. But this time you have to hide it from those kids." said the lady while Hongki was unlocking the door.

Hongki put his hand on the doorknob and turned around before opening the door. "You know what should we have for dessert?" He curved his lips into a meaningful smirk. She looked at his eyes and rolled her eyes for knowing exactly what he wants. She chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Let's see if I'd still have room for dessert."

"I'll make sure you'll be hungry for it." He pecked her lips and walked into his apartement which surprisingly not empty.

"What the are you guys doing here!" Hongki yelled as he saw Seunghyun and Yoomi cozily watching the TV on his couch and eating his chips.

"Yo hyung!"

"Looks like we have some visitors?" The lady peeked behind Hongki's shoulder as she taking off her shoes.

"Hi noona~!!!!!!!" Seunghyun waved excitedly to the lady.

"Hi Hyunnie!" She gave Seunghyun a warm smile.

"Who's that?" whispered Yoomi to Seunghyun as she munched another chips.

"It's Sunyoung noona, Hongki hyung's girlfriend." he whispered back.

"Wait I thought his girlfriend's name is Yeojin?"

"That's another one."

"Aish, really? What a player." she then glued her eyes back to the TV.

"Yah Seunghyun! How many times did I tell you not to break into my apartment?" Hongki had made his way to the couch. "Don't you remember what happened last month?" he asked in whisper to make sure that the lady who was still struggling with her shoes couldn't hear them.

"Yeah, I walked on you and Eunhye noona doing it in the kitchen...." Seunghyun let out a weak laugh as he recalled the past event.

"It's not funny, you know." Hongki then turned his head to the girl beside Seunghyun. "And you, Yoomi-ah!"

The girl turned as she got called. "Yo Lee Hongki!" She gave him a quick salute with a grin.

"What are you doing here? Aish my chips..."

"Oh, she felt like skipping class so I picked her up from school and we had no idea where to go so we just decided to come here since it's really close from her school." Yoomi nodded her head a few times, showing her agreement on Seunghyun's explanation.

Just then, the clueless lady stepped into the scene. "And who is this...?" she questioning Yoomi's presence with a friendly smile.

"Ah this is.... This is... This is Yoomi. She's... She is my..." The truth was, Hongki had no idea what should he refer to her as. A friend? He had a 15 years old girl as a friend? It just doesn’t sound right.

"She's Hongki hyung's lil' cousin!" Seunghyun answered spontaneously.

"Wha-" 

Seunghyun nudged Yoomi abruptly with his elbow as a command for her to just go along with his statement.

"Ah, yes? I am....?" she stated in confusion, didn't really know how the hell did she became Hongki's lil' cousin.

"Yes, yes. She's my lil' cousin, Yoomi." Hongki abstractedly added. "Yah don't be such a rude kid, introduce yourself!"

"Hello, I'm Park Yoomi! Nice to meet you!" Yoomi bowed to the lady.

"Hi, I'm Jang Sunyoung. Nice to meet you too, Yoomi-ssi. Aww I see you have the same eyes as Hongki." The lady said excitedly. She seemed happy to finally meet one of Hongki's family members.

"I have?" Yoomi looked at Hongki's eyes and so did Hongki.

"Whoa! They really have the same eyes!" said Seunghyun in shocked after he stared intensely at both of Yoomi's and Hongki's eyes.

"Aish, ofcourse they do. They're cousins!" said the lady with a light laugh. "Now Hyunnie and Yoomi you'll stay for dinner, right? I'm making spaghetti." The lady walked to the kitchen and started to prepare the dinner.

Seunghyun and Yoomi cheered in agreement while Hongki let out a low 'aish'. Yoomi then followed the lady to the kitchen. "Do you need any help, Sunyoung-ssi?"

"Ah ofcourse, dear. That's very sweet of you. You can call me unnie by the way." And so the girls started cooking, leaving the two guys at the couch.

Hongki sat beside Seunghyun and started to munch the leftover chips. "So.... You made her skipped school?" 

"Yup. We were texting and she said-"

"You're texting her?!" Hongki asked in surprise.

"Yeah... I asked for her number back at the bowling alley yesterday."

"Aish, you sneaky bastard." Hongki chuckled at Seunghyun's boldness. Seunghyun grinned, he was surely also proud at himself.

"Wait, I thought you had a girlfriend?" Hongki recalled.

"Not anymore. We broke up." 

"I see. I guess you said something about that in the middle of your drunkenness last night." Hongki scratched his head.

"Don't you think she's too young?" Hongki asked again as he switching TV channels with the remote.

"He's too young for you, hyung. But not for me."

"Hmmm is that so..." mumbled Hongki whilst his eyes still on the TV.

The boys didn't say anything anymore until they heard Sunyoung shouted from the kitchen. "Yah boys! It seems we need a little help here, would you please?"

"We're coming!" the boys shouted back.

"Ah~ Sunyoung noona's spaghetti must be delicious!" Seunghyun said to himself as he got up from his seat.

Hongki raised his eyebrow. "Huh? Don't expect too much, her cooking is pretty bad."

"Eh? But her Chinese food was really great the last time she cooks for us!"

Hongki smacked Seunghyun's head. "It wasn't her, you idiot. It was Youngju noona. She's the best cook indeed." He said in whisper.

"Ah, really? Aish hyung, you really should lower your number of girlfriends. I don't think I have enough space in my brain to remember all of their names!"

Hongki laughed and made his way to the kitchen followed by Seunghyun. They stepped into the kitchen only to found that the girls were already familiar with each other.

"Unnie, seriously what do you see from Hongki oppa? Doesn't he snore in his sleep?" Yoomi asked as she watched over the boiling spaghetti.

"Oh my God, he does! But it's a pretty cute little snore though." The girls started giggling.

"Aish since when does my kitchen sound so girly? Giggling over me behind my back, huh? I don't snore!" 

The girls just laughed. Hongki stood behind Sunyoung and watched her slicing tomatoes diligently. He put his hands on her waist and gave her a peck on her cheek.

"Would you help me with the onions please, dear?" she said softly. "Right... Stinky onions here I come~" Hongki grabbed an apron lazily and wore it before he started to do the onions.

"Hyunnie, come help with the mushrooms, kay?"

"Yay mushroom!" He quickly made his way to the mushrooms and started washing them.

And so the 4 of them started doing their own work to make delicious spaghetti.

"Oppa! ‘Bro’ is not a word!" Yoomi yelled out before she started laughing along with Hongki and Sunyoung. 

"What?! It is! We, especially Jaejin hyung, say it all the time! Right, bro? See? Bro! It's a word!"

Hongki, Sunyoung and Yoomi continued to laugh so hard at Seunghyun's poor English knowledge. The 4 of them were playing scrabble after eating their decent homemade dinner.

"Alright, alright. I'm really stupid at this game, ain't I?" Seunghyun had misspelled at least 8 words throughout this game which made the game wasn't enjoyable for him while the other three really enjoyed laughing at his funny random English words.

"Aish you guys, stop laughing at me! Fine, I quit. Yoomi-ah let's just go home."

"Nooooo~ let me win this first." Yoomi laid down her letters. "12 points!"

"Vacu...vacuous? What the hell is that!" Seunghyun tried to read the word Yoomi just placed on the board.

"You. You are vacuous, oppa." Yoomi told him with a laugh.

"Whatever, I bet it's another insulting word, huh? Yoomi-ah you better stop using heavy words it's not fair! Now let's just finish this and go home." 

"It's almost finish, Hyunnie. Come on, let's continue. Hongki, your turn." said Sunyoung.

"Why bother to finish this? It's already obvious, Yoomi wins, I . Now let’s go, byebye." Seunghyun started to collect the words on the board and put them back into the box.

"Aish, this guy hates losing so much, eh?" Hongki said as he half-helped Seunghyun cleaning up the game with his foot.

"It's okay oppa, it's not your fault that you're not good in English." Yoomi said mockingly and patted Seunghyun's shoulder. 

It seemed like she started to enjoy teasing Seunghyun as much as he enjoyed teasing her. Yoomi finds Seunghyun as a laid back personality, he's also very playful and has a child-like heart which makes it easier for her forget about their age difference. He treated her as a friend, not a dongsaeng and it makes her really comfortable to be around him.

"Yah shut up or I won't take you home!"

"I didn't ask you to take me home." said Yoomi. 

"I did." Hongki said. "I, as your older cousin, asked Seunghyun to take you home. And he will. Now you two better get going. It's getting pretty late."

Yoomi gave Hongki a look. "Fine." she sighed. This cousins thing made her couldn't help but obey Hongki and his endless commands. She grabbed her shoes and joining Seunghyun who was already waiting by the door. 

"Bye Sunyoung unnie! It's wonderful to meet you, thanks for the meal~" she said as she put on her shoes.

"Nice to meet you too, Yoomi! Hope to see you soon~" Sunyoung walked to Yoomi and gave her a hug. She then turned to Seunghyun and gave him a hug as well. "Careful Hyunnie, she's Hongki's cousin. Don't do anything stupid." she whispered to Seunghyun's ear.

Seunghyun laughed. "Ofcourse noona, I know what I'm doing. Thanks for the meal!" He then turned to Hongki. "Yo hyung, we're leaving!"

"Yeah just get lost already!" Hongki yelled jokingly. 

"Bye oppa!"

"Bye! Take care, ok? I'll see you around." And so they all exchanged goodbye waves.

"Yah Seunghyun, take care of my lil' lady!" Hongki yelled out just before Seunghyun closed the door.

Hongki exhaled as soon as Seunghyun and Yoomi left. He started to clean the rest of the game while Sunyoung was amost done washing the dishes.

"You still up for a dessert?" Sunyoung asked Hongki as soon as she finished cleaning up the table.

"Uh? Ah, right... Dessert... Wait, I'm gonna call Seunghyun first, there's something I forgot to tell him."

"I'll be waiting in the bedroom, okay?" She cupped his face and kissed his nose before went to the bedroom.

"Kay." He then started dialing Seunghyun with his cellphone.

"Yo hyung, what's up?"

"Take her to her house, okay? Not the bus station."

"Roger that!"

"Good. I'll see you soon. Bye."

"Bye. Have a goodnight, hyung~ Play safe!"

Hongki chuckled, "Goodnight, jealous boy. Oh, and thankyou."
