All She Wants Is Just A Quiet Afternoon

Our House [One-Shot/Drabble Collection]

Yixin happily hums a cheery tone to herself as she puts away the rest of the celery and the half filled ranch dressing back into the fridge. With a hop in her step she makes her way back over to her plate, picks it up and takes off towards the living room.

She has an hour, two at most, just for herself before she has to dive back into the chaos at the hospital and Yixin wants to spend it peacefully catching up on some dramas she left for rainy days [which she hasn’t had in months because her resident always has her on-call].

With her humming and her mind running amok on which particular series she wants to tackle first, Yixin doesn’t pick up on the ever growing argument until she faces it at the foyer of the living room.

It’s Luhan and Junghae, she grimaces, and they’re bickering once again.

“I’m trying to have a serious conversation with you here!” Luhan explodes in anger to a stance. The short chestnut haired woman’s cheeks are blazing red and her hands are up in the air; fingers battling to a silent tone. Her eyes are widen in what appears as astonishment toward Junghae.

Junghae jerks her head up to make eye contact with Luhan. Her face, for a second, is blank but it’s quickly infected by a growing mocking grin. “And I’m trying to,” Junghae motions the ‘shoo’ hand gesture horizontally from her chest, “subtly avoid it.”

Luhan drops her arms and stares in disbelief at the younger women. “Wha…?” She shuts at the bubbling crackle of saliva before any other words escape, inhales and does what she does best—attack Junghae.

“Why?” Yixin inquiries out loud with a tired sigh tailing the end.

She watches the two roughhouse to the sofa, slaps and punches here and there. Junghae somehow gets Luhan in a choke hold but doesn’t last long when the older elbows her in the gut and the two go sailing down to the carpet. Their fight still continues.

“I used to ask myself that everyday when Lu moved in.” Kris startles Yixin; almost causing her to drop her plate of celery.

“Please stop that.” Yixin comments with a voice crack and a hand over her heart.

Kris gazes down to her and shrugs sheepishly, “Sorry. I forgot you had a late night.” Kris then goes back to watching the wrestling match on the living room floor. At one point Kris is pretty sure Junghae knocked her head on the coffee table but she bounces back twice as fast.

“You know what they make me think of?” Yixin tears her eyes away from the two to look at Kris who raises a eyebrow in question; no longer having that feeling of separating them that she once had when she first moved in. Yixin soon learned within her first week that those two solved all their problems with each other physically. “They make me think of brothers. Like on shows and movies?”

Kris tilts her head and thinks. She chuckles with a nod at the thought, “They do don’t they?” Both of them watch, fondly, at the two; Luhan trying desperately to keep Junghae in a headlock.

“And they never pull each others hair… it’s so strange, to me.” Yixin adds.

“Eh it’s how they are.” Kris shrugs and eyeballs Yixin’s plate. “To be honest I would’n’ve pegged Junghae as a roughhouser but the second Luhan came in and picked a fight, it was like she unleashed a beast.”

“Really?” Yixin blinks up at Kris, turning her body to face the taller women and leaving her plate wide open for an attack.

“...foul play you er!” they hear Luhan grunt. Yixin turns to face the two and on her teeth at Luhan who is caged underneath Junghae, struggling to free herself. Kris, on the other hand, ignores the cries and takes a celery and rolls it in ranch dressing.

“Foul play my you punch me in my !”

“It’s free range for me!”

“Why? Because you don’t have and I do?” Their bodies rotate with Luhan saddling Junghae’s stomach; her hands held captive above her head. Luhan starts to gurgle saliva with a grin and Junghae panics.

“Oh hey Lu learned that from Da Boyz.” Kris comments casually and gestures with her celery to the sadistic Luhan.

“The Boys? Oh, the community group you three play basketball with…” Yixin watches Junghae cry for help and Luhan visibly laughing, “I think they rubbed off on her too much?”

Kris makes a sound and shrugs once again. “Nothing I can do when she soaks up stupidity more than Seyun does.” She then takes the first initiative bite and then another to break it down when a revolting taste explodes in . The older woman starts to make vomiting sounds and motions.

“Really, Kris?”

“Blarghh gr-oss ugggh!” Her vomiting motion enhances as well as her vocal; her back hunches with each closed mouth heave.

Yixin takes five steps away from her. “I swear if you throw up because of—” she gasps in disgust when Kris brings a hand up to and upchucks the piece of food into it. “Gross!”

“I know!” Kris cries with tears in her eyes at the same time the sound of shattering glass is heard.


(Fortunately the glass that broke wasn’t from any of the four. It was done by Chanyoung who was out back playing hacky sack with Seyun and Jungin when she used a little too much force and kicked the sack into the sliding door.)

Chapter 32: Poor Kris, lmao. <3 I didn't think Junghae would be such a scaredy cat but it's cute. It's ok, Junghae, Lu will protect you. And sure, if Kyungri and Yixin don't up by telling scary stories on Halloween, something's wrong. <3

Also, you should just take however long it takes you and if that's forever, that's also ok. I love you for writing this far and there's no reason to feel guilty. Motivation comes and goes and nothing wrong with that. <3

Chapter 32: Aww i know that feeling and sometimes its best to leave it well enough alone until you get your motivation back
Though this one was great and seriously these girls are idiots
I hope Kris really gives them a hard time for hitting her with her own bat
I know i would

Chapter 31: the ending of seyun’s period drama! and oh my god is it childish as hell lmao
seriously though, that is beyond childish and i wish i could see the fun in pranks but i generally cant (im just a party pooper like that in general tho so it’s nothing on you) uwu
i honestly feel like misook is me, so relatable. her squabble with kris is beyond understandable lol. jungin is ridiculously sweet to film all this. junghae’s reaction surprises me a little uwu idk, i just thought she would’ve thrown it back at seyun like “disgusting” *sticking her nose in the air like she isn’t affected* and then she’d take a loooooooooong shower afterwards.

by god do i understand chanyoung’s reaction tho, fish sauce and vomit? yikes ;;

(is fish sauce yellow?? i always assumed it was a light brown >.< otherwise the origin of the lemonade is beyond questionable uwu)

love you! you’re the best <3

Chapter 30: i honestly never ever thought id say this but wow junhee, that was a big jerk move and kris deserved better. i know i dislike kris and all and kris can be a jerk but this?? this is so not ok. this is so so so important to kris, a meeting that could determine her ing career in sports and junhee finds herself worth more???? no.

this is so manipulative and wrong. i do not condone. shame on yixin for being in on this. as if junhee’s blind dates were more important? she could’ve brought any of the girls along but knows she can manipulate kris because kris likes her. that is just so awful. not a good friendship move at all. i feel like scolding her so bad. and yixin too.

they should be grown-ups. this is ... disgusting. misook at least were on kris’ side, thinking it wouldn’t work but she should’ve stopped them before it got out of control like this. ugh.

love the chapter as always. love you as always. just - you told me to be honest and their actions in this chapter is just not ok ;; sorry girls, they’re not.

(also, you really need to tell us more about misook and her art because you hint at it so often and it’s making me ridiculously curious. how talented is she? do the others know? is it something she hides from her or something she displays? curious curious ~ <3 )

Chapter 29: Aww so cute A chapter
Oh so Kris saw something personal about Min without permission
Interesting and that explains a lot
Why do I think that these girls at the park would just be madness mixed with cuteness and lots of ice cream even though they're supposed to be getting fit lol

Chapter 29: im not saying im in love with your misook but im in love with your misook. uwu she’s so sweet! innocent and cute, kind and intelligent, looking for knowledge and still vulnerable and learning. she never wants her way in a bad way (cough like a certain someone it isn’t only misook who has beef with). and she’s insecure. it’s so adorable. i wonder what she won? ;;
anyway, i love her, hello, thank you for listening to my ted talk about why misook is perfect.

also i know lu agrees so high five lu! besides i really like this chapter from lu’s POV. it makes her soft. i know she says that about misook but honestly, she’s a bit ashamed of her thoughts, she’s shy around misook and she just ... feels so much.

this is an amazing chapter! genuinely uwu (and it’s not just because im xiumin-biased in all forms)

Chapter 28: i kinda laugh-cried when they talking about Kyungri because i can just imagine the window was open because she snuck out and now that kris has closed it, she’s gonna be standing in the cold winter morning when she comes back and she’ll be like “im going to kill whoever snuck into my room my god”. it’s a good vision uwu

also, don’t change the name of junhee’s bunny. there’s a story behind it so it should stay. and don’t feel bad about it! <3

kris and junhee always seems like ... idk, it’s cute when you write it but uwu <3 thank you. sorry this comment TvT
