It’s almost dinner time when Jihoon heard the front door being opened, indicating the shopping team were back. Took them long enough, Jihoon thought. Jihoon hasn’t moved from his position on the couch ever since the 4 of them left and glancing at the door every now and then just to see whether they are back.

Jihoon saw Minhyun immediately goes to his room, mumbling something like he’s dead tired and want to rest until dinner time while Daehwi and Guanlin are on either sides of Daniel, clinging to his arm, right Daehwi, left Guanlin and keep talking about whatever they are keen to talk about and Jihoon couldn’t care less. His attention focused mainly on the middle man, who is listening to the maknaes’ talk, and occasionally adding some comments while struggling to take off his shoes with 2 maknaes clinging to his arms.

“Took you guys long enough” Seongwoo peeked out from the kitchen. It’s his turn to prepare dinner with Sungwoon

“Yeah, Daehwi is confused between which colour he wanted to have” Daniel said, chuckled at his adorable maknae, while still trying to undo his shoes.

Seongwoo shook his head, “Yah, let go of Daniel you 2 big baby, he can’t even take off his shoes” and back to his business in the kitchen.

Guanlin immediately let go of Daniel’s arm, muttering thank you, and dash towards where Jihoon was to show off his new limited edition hat from his favourite brand. Jihoon couldn’t hear a single thing Guanlin was saying as his attention is on Daehwi and Daniel. 

“Hyung, come here, there’s something I want to say” Daehwi said.

Daniel bent down a little bit to match Daehwi’s height. Then suddenly Daehwi tiptoed a little and kiss Daniel’s cheek and immediately run away. Daniel looked at the direction where Daehwi ran to and smiles fondly, squealing a little bit inside at how adorable their maknae is. He then proceeds to keep his shoes in the shoe rack and heading back to his room without sparring a glance at Jihoon.

Jihoon saw everything unveil in front of him and couldn’t help but feel something unfamiliar tightened around his stomach. He didn’t know what it was, but there was just unpleasant feeling whenever he sees Daniel being close with other members ever since that day Danie
