His eyelids felt like a concrete, so heavy didn't want to open. There is no energy left in his body. Yet someone kept on shaking his body. So irritating. "Stop it, Yoseob-ah," Gikwang grunted, pulling his bolster closer and hugged it.

"WAKE UP!!"

He shouted so loud in his ear, Gikwang jolted and turned his messy head to the other man with eyes barely open. "Is this how you treat someone who has been gone for filming a few days??" he finally snapped.

He felt very tired after the filming for Law of the Jungle. The Solomon Island was indeed beautiful, a treat to his heart and soul. But the heat and humidity drained stamina from his body. Luckily he got a malaria shot before he went, there were so many mosquitos.

Yoseob's face seemed sorry, nevertheless he sighed and continued, "You haven't showered. How can you sleep before washing up first?" His eyes travelled to see the others's figure laying on the bed, still fully clothed, "you even haven't taken off your shirt! Can't you change first or something? Huuh."

Yoseob nags like my mom, Gikwang thought. But it shows that he cares.

"Okay, okay~" Gikwang gave up. He grabbed a towel and strolled to the shower.

"So that's the story."

The other five members nodded after listening to his adventure in Solomon Island. They were in Junhyung's flat. Well, why not? His place is nice and big. Besides, the owner didn't mind having his place used to throw a small welcoming-back party for their one and only Gikwang. After a week of almost no news at all besides photos of him in the airport going to and from the Solomon Islands, he returned safely in one piece. All worries gone, replaced with relief and happiness to see the six of them together again.

"I told you, my phone got no reception.. So I couldn't tell you guys what was I doing and things like that," he sighed. "And by the way, what's up with all these chicken and beer?"

Hyunseung picked up a chicken wing and chewed, "There's nothing better in life than chicken and mekju (beer)." Few moments later, he was all smiling enjoying the heavenly savoriness. The rest chuckled, Hyunseung is Hyunseung afterall.

Junhyung approached the kitchen cabinet and opened it. "Since we got some beer already, anyone up for whiskey?" he pulled out a bottle and showed it to his teammates.

"Just a bit," Doojoon placed his cup in front of Junhyung, who then put a few ice cubes and poured the liquid in. "You know I can't drink much."

"Me too," Yoseob chimed in.

"Ah, you guys are no fun," Junhyung commented, pouring whiskey to Yoseob's cup, and pouring some for himself.

"Cheers"

****

Just after one shot, Doojoon gave up and returned his cup into the kitchen sink. Gikwang was sleeping on the sofa (again, that pabo) snuggling with the maknae Dongwoon beside him. He must had missed his hyung so much. Hyunseung was back in his own 4D world after plugging his earphones in, humming some tunes breaking the silence in the living room before those hum turned into snore. Yoseob sipped his drink slowly, trying to keep himself between the sober line even though his head felt like floating already.

Meanwhile, the man of the house was on the floor, busy staring at the Mario Bros figurine on the table dreamily. Yoseob spotted him pulling out his phone and snapping a few shots, who knows for what reason.

"Junyeonngg-ah?" he called out.

The man ignored him, his head already on the table. Yoseob considered to wake him up or not, since he seemed so wasted. He was about to approach him when suddenly he sat straight, mumbling. His hands holding the Mario figurine and his phone.
