Lock

By the time all the boxes were unloaded into the house, the sun had already disappeared behind the horizon. Everyone was exhausted, including SeungHyun, who had to move out of the way of the busy people while not tripping over the boxes. In the beginning, SoRa and SeungHyun asked that boxes be moved relatively close to where they will be opened, however by the end of the process, they agreed to pile them up in the corner of the living room. 

"How about we order jajangmyeon for dinner? My treat," SeoNam suggested. 

"Is that okay with you? I mean, it would be great, but I don't want you to spend too much," JiYong said.

"Haha, don't worry about it. I can at least do this much as the eldest person here," SeoNam replied, laughing.

So everyone thanked him, and he stepped outside to order the food. DaeSung and SeungHyun were excited, telling SoRa and SeungHyun that it was tradition to east jajangmyeon on the day they moved. JiYong and YoungBae took the chance to go to the kitchen to fetch some water for everyone. They were an odd combo, as they have never talked one on one before.

"Thank you so much for helping today, YoungBae sshi," JiYong began before the atmosphere became awkward. "I'm sure SoRa was really relieved and happy that you were here."

"Oh, no, it's nothing," YoungBae replied, surprised at the sudden call of his name. "I wanted to do something for her, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to help her," he added.

"You know, I've heard a lot about you and SeungHyun sshi form SoRa. She'd always tell us about how you bought drinks for her, or how you helped her clean the places she couldn't reach, or how you and SeungHyun sshi joked around." JiYong passed the cups over to YoungBae. "We were worried she might not be able to fit into her workplace, but we're glad you were there. So thank you."

YoungBae took the cups and began pouring water into them, slightly blushing. "We've heard a lot about you too, actually. She told us she has this super cool friend who goes all over the world and makes people happy. When we heard that it was you, we literally jumped in surprise," YoungBae chuckled. JiYong laughed along, transferring the cups onto a tray. "You really are a cool person, and I'm a bit jealous of SoRa for being your friend."

"Only a bit? Not really jealous?" JiYong joked, pouting. YoungBae laughed, apologizing. 

They walked back into the living room and passed out the cups to everyone. Just then, the doorbell rang and SeoNam went to get the door, talked a bit, called for DaeSung, and came back with jajangmyeon. 

"Dinner is here!!" DaeSung exclaimed, and everyone clapped.

Once everyone was seated and had their own bowl, DaeSung called for a cheer. Everyone clanged their cups together with cheerful voices. JiYong mixed the bowl for SeungHyun, and SoRa gave him his chopsticks. After making sure he could bring the food to his mouth, SoRa began eating her own food. 

"You know what happened today in the parking lot today?" SeungHyun started, already laughing. Suddenly, DaeSung blushed and shook his head sideways.

"No! Don't tell them about it, SeungHyun sshi!! It's our little secret, remember??" DaeSung said, nearly begging.

"What? What happened? Did DaeSung do something stupid again?" SeungHyun asked, laughing.

"So I was unloading a box from the back of the truck," SeungHyun began despite DaeSung's protest. "And DaeSung sshi came to get boxes. Right when I was about to pass it to him, I saw a bug at his foot. I think it was a spider, but it was pretty big. So I tell him about it, and a second later, he jumps and starts screaming." Everyone began laughing and DaeSung covered his tomato red face with his hands. "I told him it was okay, and I passed the box to him. He caught it but he like tossed the box up and down like hot potato!" SeungHyun finished, everyone already laughing at this point. SoRa caught on after reading his story, and laughed along. JiYong and SeoNam soothed DaeSung as they and patted his back. 

"At least you didn't drop the box, right, DaeSung ah? I'm so proud of you," SeungHyun joked. 

"Shut up, hyung! I was really scared okay?" DaeSung shot back, earning more laughter. He felt a little empty, as SeungHyun did not ruffle his hair like he used to every time he . But when he saw SeungHyun reaching his hand out, DaeSung brightened up and brought his head under it. SeungHyun smiled and ruffled it, making everyone laugh even more.

"I wanted a cup of water, but this works too," SeungHyun said, happily messing up his dongsaeng's hair. 

The house was full of laughter, lightening the house up. Full of energy, conversations never died down until deep into the night. Everyone was happy, making it seem as if there were no problems in the world, at least for that moment.
