“Who’s next?” Hyosung asked everyone in the room. “Should we go with the youngest?” Hyosung set her eyes on Zelo, staring mischievously at the poor child.

                “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Himchan called out. Hyosung insipidly turned her head and faced Himchan, “And why is that?” She asked him.

                “It’s because he’s young, including Jongup, they don’t need to talk about their love life, and they shouldn’t be having one at that.”

                “I actually like someone.”

                All eyes turned to Jongup, who was raising his hand, like he was trying to get someone’s attention. And he sure did.

                “Wait you do?” Daehyun asked the second youngest and Jongup nodded his head. “Who?”

                “You know that girl that moved here from America?” The boys nodded their heads. “That’s her. I only have two classes with her but overall… yeah I like her.” Jongup smiled at everyone, and the girls couldn’t help but ‘aww’ at the boy that was currently crushing on someone. “And the weird thing is she has the same name as Jieun noona.”

                “Oh yeah she does,” Zelo nodded his head, “The irony.”

                “I don’t know if I should feel flattered or not.” Jieun said.

                “Why would you?” Youngjae asked her, “The girl just has the same name as you, nothing else.” Jieun rolled her eyes at the sassy younger and ignored him.

                “Okay, thank you Jongup for telling all of us that you are currently crushing on someone,” Hyosung smiled, showing her gums in the process and squealed in delight. “I’m seriously getting hype out of this. Who’s next?”

                “Don’t you think you’re having a little too much fun?” asked Zinger.

                “Oh of course not,” She waved her hand in a very nonchalant way. “This is only the beginning, and don’t worry my dear little Hana-ah I’ll let you speak about your little love life too.” Hyosung faced Zinger and winked at her and Zinger could only stare in horror at the older girl.

                “I don’t have a love life!”

                “That’s sad.”

                “Shut it baby cheeks!”

                Youngjae stared at Zinger with wide eyes and his mouth slightly opened. On the weeks he had known the older the girl, he would think that she was a pretty calm person, but to see her shout at her was something else.

                “I can’t believe you yelled at me…”

                Daehyun rolled his eyes, “Calm down, your feelings aren’t hurt.”

                “Okay moving on from this,” Hyosung said, “I want to hear something from the youngest.” Hyosung once again set her eyes on Zelo, who looked back at her with disconcerting eyes. “Don’t look at me like that Blondie. You are up next.”

                Zelo frowned, “There’s nothing really going on though.”

                “It’s fine, just tell me some small details, and I’ll get the rest from your hyungs.” Hyosung shrugged.

                “What do you mean ‘hyungs’? What are we going to tell you?” Daehyun asked her. Hyosung just smiled at the younger and ignored what he said.

                Hyosung turned to Zelo and motioned him to continue. Zelo sighed, “There’s nothing really going on in my love life. I have no crushes, no one is really catching my eye, I mean there are some cute pretty girls at my school, but none that would really have my love.”

                Hyosung let out a small chuckle and sighed happily, “You are adorable and I just want to keep you.”

                The guys looked at the older woman like she was crazy or something. The two other girls looked at their unnie like it was nothing, it was obvious that they were used to Hyosung’s weird remarks.

                “I think that’s illegal.” Youngjae stated. Hyosung lazily looked at the younger man.

                “You’re just jealous that I don’t want to keep you.”

                “Yeah!” Zelo cheered and stuck his tongue out at his hyung and Youngjae looked at Zelo incredulously.

                “Now you’re all happy go lucky? What the hell is wrong with you?” Youngjae asked.

                “What? Noona just indirectly admitted that I’m cuter than you, I’m down with anything.” Youngjae rolled his eyes at the maknae.

                “Okay, I think we should go with Zinger now.” Hyosung smiled and turned her head to face the glaring Zinger.

                “Let’s not go with Zinger.”

                “Let’s,”

                “Not,”  

                “Let’s,”

                “Not,”

                “Let’s,”

                “No-“

                “Zinger just enlighten Hyosung and start with you, my brain is going to explode if we keep this going.” Yongguk told Zinger, while rubbing his face with his hand. Zinger pouted and mumbled a ‘fine’.

                Hyosung turned to Yongguk and grinned at him, “Thank you, Gukkie~” She said in an overly sweet voice that makes you want to punch someone.

                “Don’t use that nickname with that voice.”

                “Okay!” Hyosung turned to Zinger and nodded her head to let Zinger go on.

                Zinger sighed. “Do you want current or past?”

                “Oh I think we’re all about the current thank you.”

                “I’m curious too,” Jieun said, being surprisingly quiet for the time being. “I’ve been wanting to ask you about this situation for a while.” Jieun asked Zinger, “Especially about the topic of liking someone.”

                “Ooh~”

                The boys ‘ooh-ed’ at the current situation they had witness. “I want to know!” Daehyun raised his arm in the air like a hyperactive puppy. Youngjae got fed up and roughly set the arm down.

                Zinger heaved a heavy sigh, “I-“

                Zinger was cut off when everyone saw a little girl stumble her way to the living room. She smiled big, with an apple in her hand, “Daddy!” And ran to Yongguk. Yongguk was completely taken back that he groaned when Hana collided with him. He was as well taken back when Hana had called him ‘daddy’. “Did you just call me daddy?”

                Hana smiled and giggled, “Daddy,”

                Yongguk didn’t know what to do or say in the situation, but all he knew was that he was feeling really happy. He finally gets to hear Hana call him daddy. He actually knows the feeling of happiness when a father gets to hear the words of their children calling for them. And it feels good. Yongguk smiled and hugged his daughter.

                “I taught her how to say daddy, and even taught her who to call daddy, so she doesn’t get confused.” Mama Bang walked in, holding some grocery bags, as well some other things.

                “Thanks, omma,” He looked at the other bags and raised his right brow, “Did you go shopping?”

                “Yeah, why?”

                “No, just wondering.” He eyed the bags before setting his eyes on the little girl that’s biting on the apple. “Here how about I cut that for you.” He took the apple from Hana, which earned him a small whined, but Yongguk distracted her by pointing a finger at Hyosung. “Hey, Hana, that’s a pretty unnie, why don’t you go talk to her.”

                Hana blinked at her father before smiling and walking to Hyosung. Hyosung smiled big and picked her up. “Oh my goodness, she is so cute!” The girls smiled at the cute baby and ignored the boys, but they didn’t seem to mind because they can now rest from Hyosung’s constant questions about everyone’s love life.

                “Am I making food for everyone?” Mama Bang asked.

                “Oh you don’t have to; the girls and I aren’t going to stay long.” Jieun told her.

                “Nonsense, the more the merrier.” Mama Bang smiled at everyone and went to the kitchen with Yongguk in suit.

--------

“So how was shopping?” Yongguk asked his mother. He went to the drawer and grabbed a clean knife and a plate.

                “It was quite fun actually.” Mama Bang smiled at her son. Yongguk nodded his head.

                “Hey Yongguk!”

                He heard Jieun called for him. He cut the apple in half and replied back. “What?”

                “What’s this folder here?”

                Yongguk remembered that he left his blank music sheet on the coffee table and didn’t think to put the folder in his room. “Just some assignments, can you put them in my room?”

                “Yeah,”

                Yongguk started cutting up the apple, while Mama Bang started up the stove. “You know I got a call from someone.”

                “Who?” Yongguk washed the knife and placed it away. “Your brother,” Yongguk faced his mother and stared at her.

                “Yongnam?”

                “Yeah,” Mama Bang turned to him and gave him a small smile, “He’s coming back for a little while.”

                “That’s good…”

                It’s been years since the last time he met his other twin. In the years that Yongnam was in America studying Yongguk never talked to him. It wasn’t because they weren’t close; they were really close (well they are twins). Yongguk just never got the nerve to pick up the phone and talk to him. Of course Yongguk wants to know how he’s doing and if the American life is okay for him, but he never got to ask him that. I guess he was still feeling a little insecure about Yongnam being the ‘better twin’ was still getting to him.

                But that never changed that fact that Yongguk did love his brother no matter how many times people say he was better. He left the kitchen with the cut apples and brought it to the living room and was about to go to his room when Jieun called for him. “Where are you going?”

                “I just need to do something, I’ll be back.” Jieun looked at Yongguk suspiciously, but ignored it. Yongguk went to his room. He sat in his chair at his desk with his phone in his hand, debating whether or not to call. He sighed and placed his phone down and was about to give up when he saw some writing on his music sheet. He picked up the music sheet and his eyebrows rose upwards at what the writing he saw.

Along with the lights that turn off one by one
The hope in my heart disappears slowly as well

Yongguk remembered not writing these words, but then he caught something on the margin and couldn’t help but laugh.

It looked like you needed help, so here you go! It’s not much but it’s a start.

-Jieun

Yongguk smiled at the small bit of lyrics that Jieun wrote, he let a small smile grow on his lips and picked up a pencil and started jotting down lyrics that suddenly hit him.

In this world where everything has stopped
When I feel like I’m alone, I think of you…

A phone call to Yongnam can wait a little longer.

And I remembered to update this one time this time! Yay!
Hyosung's questions about everyone's love life still continues and it looks like Mr. Bang Yongnam is coming home for a little while. Hmm...
And can you guys guess what song is used? You won't get anything but it'll be nice if you guys know what song is being used.
