Peace Offering

Lost In Translation (OT9)

You had to move. It was the only solution you could come up with since you certainly couldn't face Baekhyun or Minseok ever again.  Not after how they'd looked after you in your drunken state. That alone was embarrassing enough. Include the texts you sent Baekhyun and the photo you sent to Minseok... there wasn't enough food in the world you could cook to apologise for your behaviour.  You had probably scarred poor Minseok for life. The photos of cats and various breads at 3am had earned you a smiley emoji and a string of 'Go to sleep Y/N' messages. Then he'd ignored you and your drunk logic decided that the best course of action was to send a photo of you in lingerie.  You cursed your drunk self repeatedly.  You tried to look at the positives. 1. At least the photo wasn't a . 2. For all intents and purposes you were fairly covered.  and 3. Drunk you chose a flattering photo. You were upset you'd sent it but at least you'd chosen one that you looked good in. It was from when you had treated yourself and splurged on lingerie a couple of weeks ago. The set in the photo was a black and deep purple bra and set with a garter belt and thigh high stockings. You were wearing black heels and standing in front of a full length mirror, side on so that you could see how your looked in the .  There was no response from Minseok after you sent it. Just an M has seen this message notification. You were mortified but you were trying to convince yourself that it could have been worse. It could have been a .

 

The texts to Baekhyun were a different story. They started innocently enough, though they were obviously written by a drunk person.

Y/N - Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaekhyuuuuuuuuuuun

Y/N - Why is tihs cowch sooooooooo snuggly?

Y/N - I shud be in my bed

Y/N - Baekkkkk why am i iun your drom not mybed??

Y/N - Imma go home

Y/N - Walkinnng is hardD maby I'll jus rest here.

Y/N - Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

B - GO TO SLEEP!

Y/N - nup

B - It's 3am Y/N. I need sleep!

Y/N - I'm bored!

B - Do not make me come out there and stop you from texting. I'm warning you.

Y/N - Ur grumpy when youre sleepy. How you gonna stop me tho ;)

B - I'll take your phone off you

Y/N - I'll hide it in my pants.

B - ... I'll restrain your arms then.

Y/N -

B - N-no, just. Go to sleep already!

Y/N - Are you gonna straddle me while you restrain me?

B - You're drunk.

Y/N - Or are you gonna tie me up, handcuff me or just use your bodyweight to restrain me?

B - Stop Y/N. You'll regret this in the morning.

Y/N - I mean any of those options sound hot to me. ;)

B- Go to sleep.

Y/N - All alone?

You were mortified. Drunk you was apparently last night and attempting to seduce both of those poor unsuspecting men. At least you had passed out before getting much more graphic with your texts. You were amazed that Baekhyun had still spoken to you after that. You sat on your couch, remembering your conversation. He had suggested cooking for the guys one night this week as an apology for crashing there uninvited. No matter how mortified you were you still owed the other 7 guys an apology. You'd just have to it up and try to act normal with those two.  After dinner you could just leave and not speak to them or see them again. Wait. Baekhyun said he and Minseok were going to decide on how you were to make it up to them. . Were they deciding a punishment? Is that what he meant?  Was it just for them helping you home or also for your drunken attempts at seducing them?  You slid down the couch in self pity and embarrassment, why was drunk you like that?

 

You decided to stop wallowing in your apartment and head down to the grocery store to pick out something to make the guys for dinner. You knew you were going to cook international food for them, you just had to work out what dishes to make and how much of everything you'd need since you'd be cooking for the whole group. You decided to call Yixing to suss out the groups plans for tonight.

 

"Hi Yixing, I have a quick question for you."

 

"Oh hey Y/N, what's up?"

 

"Are you guys free tonight?"

 

"Like all of us?"

 

"Yeah. I wanted to cook dinner for everyone as an apology for crashing on your couch uninvited last night"

 

"I just checked with everyone and we'll be home from 6 o'clock. Kyungsoo wants to know what you're making."

 

"Italian if that suits everyone."

 

"Everyone looks pretty excited about that. See you tonight :)"

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Yah, Y/N. How much longer until we can eat?" whined Jongin.

 

Kyungsoo shoved him out of the kitchen area, much to your gratitude. He had been coming in every 10 minutes asking the same question and after an hour and a half you were at your wits end. "When I say it's ready. Now go back and wait or I won't give you any food at all!" you scolded. Jongin's face dropped but he turned and left the kitchen.

 

"Do you need me to help prepare anything else?" Kyungsoo asked. He had been helping you out (and keeping everyone else away from the kitchen). In short he had been a lifesaver tonight. He had chopped tomatoes and onions, helped season sauces, washed up anything you needed and so much more.

 

"No thank you, all that needs to be done now is set the dining area so I can bring all the food in to serve. Can you possibly go keep everyone hostage for 10 more minutes?"

 

Kyungsoo laughed and nodded. He disappeared back towards the living room and blocked the doorway so that no one could leave the room until you were ready for them to. You moved as quickly as you could and laid out all the place settings on the dining table. Then along the centre of the table you places wooden boards. In the middle you put a vegetarian lasagne, either side of it went the spaghetti bolognaise, lots of garlic bread, 2 margherita pizzas, carbonara with gnocchi, arancini balls, canneloni, a bbq chicken pizza and 2 vegetarian pizzas. The table was full and everything smelled amazing. You had made double serves of almost everything in the hopes that this was enough to feel 9 men and you. You removed your apron and headed towards the living room. You gave Kyungsoo a tap on the shoulder to let him know his hostages were now free to leave the room and that dinner was served. Jongin, Sehun, Jongdae and Chanyeol burst out of the room, sprinting to the dining area. You could hear shouts from the room about the food and laughed. Yixing, Junmyeon and Minseok were a lot calmer, walking towards the room like civil adults. Baekhyun was last to emerge from the room, smirking at you before running off towards the dining area. Kyungsoo walked back with you but stopped you before you entered the room. "Um, prepare yourself"

 

Your brows furrowed "What for?"

 

He smiled down at you "You think it's chaos when we all have takeaway. That is nothing compared to when someone cooks for everyone. We usually eat in shifts so having all of us together at the same time is going to be loud...just be prepared for chaos in there."

 

You squared your shoulders "Honestly Soo, I just hope all of the food is to everyone's liking and that shortly after you all go into a food coma so that I can have some peace and quiet." Kyungsoo laughed and turned to head into the room.

 

"Alright, let's eat. Don't say I didn't warn you though."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

He wasn't wrong. Dinner was chaotic. You sat in between Yixing and Chanyeol. Everyone kept thanking you for the food, you were just glad they liked all of it. By some small miracle you made just enough to satiate everyone. When all of the food had been devoured you stood up and figured now was as good a time as any to give your little speech. "I hope that everyone enjoyed their meal tonight and that they had enough food. I just wanted to say a couple of things while you were all here. First, I made you this meal as an apology for crashing on the couch uninvited the other night. I'm sorry if I caused anyone shock or inconvenience with my actions. Second, I wanted to thank all of you for your friendship and help since I arrived in Seoul. When I got here I knew no one, hardly spoke the language and was feeling very lost. You have all been so welcoming to me and I will be forever thankful to you.  In short, sorry about the other night and thanks for being so nice to me."

 

Jongdae stood up just as you sat down. "Y/N, I think I speak on behalf of everyone that if this is how you apologise for sleeping on our couch, feel free to do that any time. This meal was delicious and we want to thank you for taking the time to prepare it for us. Speaking of that couch, I think we should do rock, paper, scissors to see who has to clean up while the rest of us go pick a movie to watch or something. I can't think straight, I'm 80% pizza and garlic bread right now."

 

You laughed. "There is still dessert to come!" 9 men groaned at you. "..but it can wait until you have time to digest dinner." 9 groans of approval. Baekhyun and Junmyeon ended up on cleaning duty so you headed to the living room with everyone else. You flopped down onto the couch  while everyone else fought over what activity to do.

 

"We should play video games!" Yelled Chanyeol.

 

"What so Jongin and I can beat you again?" Sehun shot back. Chanyeol tackled Sehun into the couch and started going on an on about how he was an ungrateful maknae. All you could hear was Sehun's laughter as Chanyeol tried to make him take back what he'd said.

 

Kyungsoo spoke up over the commotion "How about we watch a movie?"  A few members nodded but a few others wanted to do something more fun and interesting.

 

"What about Truth or Dare?" Jongdae asked. He was met with a similar response as Kyungsoo's movie suggestion. Truth or Dare required alcohol for it to be truly interesting. Minseok added to the idea by suggesting drinking games with punishments.  You groaned at the thought of drinking so soon after your last outing.

 

"Hide and Seek?" suggested Jongin.

 

"We aren't little kids anymore dude!" Sehun managed to yell out before Chanyeol continued to squash him into the couch. Jongin joined Chanyeol to help him punish Sehun. You couldn't help but laugh at how funny Sehun was finding this whole thing.

 

By the time Baekhyun and Junmyeon had finished cleaning up the kitchen the rest of the guys had narrowed it down to a movie, truth or dare, or drinking games with punishments. The last option was the least appealing to you for two reasons. You were not excited about drinking after the mess you got yourself into last time and you had no idea what the punishments were going to be.

 

By a round of hands Truth or Dare mixed with drinking games and punishments was selected. 7 of the guys had voted for it, only Kyungsoo, Junmyeon and yourself had voted against it. You caught Baekhyun and Minseok quietly chatting and smirking before they both looked at you. You looked away but you heard Baekhyun say loud enough for everyone to hear "This is going to be fun!" You started to pray for the couch to swallow you whole.

 

Jongin and Chanyeol repositioned the couch so that everyone was facing each other then they placed a table in the centre and set up a small bar on it. Bottles of soju, beer, wine, tequila and vodka were placed on it with mixers in an esky underneath and a pile of plastic cups was placed next to the various bottles. They are freakishly prepared for this kind of game. Sehun took drink orders from everyone and started handing out the drinks. You steered clear of Soju this time, opting for a beer. "So, who goes first?" you figured you might as well ask. The sooner you started, the sooner you could finish this game. It could be a good opportunity to embarrass the others though...this might just be fun as long as Baekhyun and Minseok are not incredibly mean to me.

 

Junmyeon decided that for once the game would start with the maknae and then move on to the person who completed the truth or dare. If they failed to complete or refused to then a punishment would be handed out. Following the punishment the victim could then continue the game.

 

You looked around the circle. Everyone looked excited to start. You could tell this was going to go downhill fast since these guys all knew each other really well. You started to think that maybe, just maybe the game wouldn't be too bad for you. Then you  saw the looks Minseok and Baekhyun were giving you. You were in for a very interesting evening. You took a swig from your beer, squared your shoulders and prepared yourself.

 

it, let's do this.

That was pretty intense. I like that Minseok asked about their limits and was considerate of everyone.

It was pretty hot and so long, I didn't think about the end coming as soon as it did. Hahaha.

As for who she should end up with, here's my two cents. It is very apparent throughout the whole story that she and Baekhyun have a thing. And after the previous chapter where he devoured her, it's clear that they care for each other more deeply than she cares for the other boys, Minseok included. She was so afraid of how Baek would react which is a clear sign that she wants something more with him.

I don't see her being with Minseok, even though she cares for him deeply as well. It might be because of their arrangement as buddies, but aside from that she has no emotional attachment aside from their friendship.

I would love to see her end up with Baek after her contract with them ends. And of course, maybe with the cheerleader costume? Hahaha

I cannot wait for the next update! Thank you so much for sticking with this fic. Here's to all readers patiently waiting for the conclusion to this story.

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Yes please, I will take a fan and refreshments. I was sure I wanted her to end up with Baekhyun, but I am suddenly undecided after this chapter. If it would be either man, I don’t think the other would be very happy, which could potentially cause deeper problems within the group. I don’t think the others are as invested and things pretty much stopped with the lessons and friendship. However, it’s more apparent that she has mutual feelings with both men - unless I am reading it wrong. I can’t wait to see how things progress after this night.

Thank you so much for updating, I’ve really missed this story. Hope you’ve been well and Happy New Uear.

Chapter 46: I think we will be the ones to die reading it!😉 This was such a hot chapter in itself. Baek, Teach, and simply a phone was hotness overload in itself. They have such a connection to each other that it’s crazy. It also speaks volumes of his trust in her that he has accepted her reward/punishment system with the others. Not to mention her friends with benefits relationship with Minseok, and now agreeing to be part of Xiumin’s reward. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
