Chapter 20

The Boys 

 

“My friends are coming over today.. you’ve met Daehyun right.. The others will come as well. It’s just five boys. They will be staying for dinner. You don’t have to cook, because I will order the food.”

Those were the words Yongguk told you on the phone, that his close friends would be coming today, to meet and hang out with Ki Joon. You were finally going to meet his friends.

You had been wondering about who and how his friends were. You couldn’t help but be curious, as to what type of friends Bang Yongguk have.  

Ki Joon woke up earlier and was playing with his toys in his room as usual. Hence, you decided to get ready first, because getting Ki Joon ready was a lot quicker than getting ready yourself. You opened your closet and looked through your clothes. You felt like you had to dress up and you had to look nice in front of his friends.

They knew about the error in the adoption, so you didn’t have to act like Yongguk’s fiancé in front of them, luckily. It was pretty hard and awkward to pretend to be his lover, when the both of weren’t close like that nor had such a relationship.

You looked at your dresses and groaned, not knowing what to wear and you let out a deep sigh. Why was it so difficult to pick out an outfit? Why did you even care so much about it?

You sighed once more and closed the closet with the dresses. You then opened the drawers and looked at some pants.

You decided to wear some blue, denim skinny high-waist jeans with a white shirt and a black blazer and you kept your hair loose in curls.

Simple and neat, was the style you chose to wear since it wasn’t a formal dinner. You also decided to wear a silver bracelet and a watch, just to add some accessories to the style.

A while later, Ki Joon opened the door to your room and walked in. He grabbed your hand and looked into your eyes cutely with his big ones.

You glanced down at him questioning and he finally spoke. “I want pancakes.” He said while smiling and tugging on your shirt and you chuckled.

“You want pancakes?” You asked and he nodded.

You ruffled his hair and grabbed his hand. “Let’s make pancakes together then.” You said with a smile.

The little boy squealed happily and led you to the kitchen quickly and you laughed at his cuteness. He had been hyper since the morning. It was amazing how kids could have so much energy from the moment they wake up. He was just so adorable and he loved your pancakes so much. It made you happy, knowing that he liked it.

“I want chocolate on my pancake.” He said and found the Nutella jug from the closet and you nodded.

Ki Joon helped you with blending the dough and it was nice and fun to do it together. He stood on his new chair which you built together with Yongguk. He did his best while helping you in the kitchen and you couldn’t help but smile and wish that Yongguk saw this side of Ki Joon.

If Yongguk saw this, he would probably smile and compliment Ki Joon. Maybe even laugh a bit, with his contagious smile and laugh that is so bright compared to his deep tone.

You shook your head at your thoughts. “Why would I care if he saw this or not?” You muttered beneath your breath and Ki Joon looked up at you confused and you shook your head and laughed.

“It’s done now.” You said smiling.

You patted his back as you looked at him. “You did a good job.” You said whilst smiling to the little boy and he grinned happily at himself.

Once the pancakes were done, you sat at the dining table with Ki Joon. He was eating the pancakes diligently and you were waiting for Yongguk and his friends to come. You kept looking at the clock and you couldn’t help but get a little nervous, oddly.

It was your first time seeing his friends and you were a bit nervous as to what they would think about you. You took a deep breath and tried to be calm. You wondered about what they thought about you living together with Yongguk and raising Ki Joon together.

It was already 5pm. Ki Joon was playing in the living room, when it knocked on the front door. You hurried to open the door and as you walked down the hall, you took a deep breath. You grabbed the door handle and opened the door and you were right away greeted by six guys. Two of them were familiar faces. Daehyun and Himchan walked in.

“Hello, Sera-ssi, how have you been? It’s been a while.” Daehyun said with a smile plastered on his handsome face.

He was wearing a brown leather jacket, white t-shirt and blue jeans. You smiled upon seeing Daehyun, he was always smiling when you saw him.

Himchan walked in, and you remembered that you met him once, briefly. He was wearing black jeans and a blue tshirt. His hair was black and he had a short haircut. He really did look like an ulzzang or someone who just popped out of an anime.

“Oh, file guy.” You said as you looked at him surprised and he chuckled.

He once came and took some files with him and quickly left. It had been long since you saw him. He chuckled at how you addressed him.

“I’m Kim Himchan.” He said with a smile and you pursed your lips and smiled back.

Yongguk walked in and gave you a small smile, before he walked towards Ki Joon. You saw the three other guys. They walked in and greeted you.

“Hi, I’m Youngjae.”

Youngjae was wearing a tunica shirt and blue jeans, he had bangs and a nice face. He seemed pretty young, because of his baby face and round cheeks.

“And I’m Jongup, it’s nice to finally meet you.”

The other guy named Jongup had brown hair and it was parted to the side. He was wearing a white sleeved blouse and blue ripped jeans. He was smiling as well and he seemed really shy. He was quite broad and muscular. But he seemed really kind.

“I’m Junhong, the youngest of us.” He said and chuckled with a shy smile. “But my friends call me Zelo, you can call me whatever.” He added shyly and you giggled and nodded.

“It’s nice to meet you Junhong.” You said with a smile and he bowed and smiled wider.

Junhong was really tall, probably the tallest from what you could tell. He had a very pale skin and an innocent and sweet smile. He greeted you shyly and bowed.

Yongguk walked towards the guys with Ki Joon in his arms. The little boy held onto him as he looked at the five young men shyly.

“You’ve greeted my friends. We work a lot together in the studio.” Yongguk told you and you nodded.

Himchan walked towards Yongguk to greet Ki Joon.

“Hey kiddo, how are you? I’m your uncle Himchan.” He said while smiling widely and happily.

Ki Joon smiled shyly and the guys all surrounded him and awed. They called him cute and sweet and other things. Ki Joon seemed thrilled to see that many guys, but also very shy. He clung onto Yongguk and hid his face.

Everyone laughed at his reaction. He used to do that around new people, when he got shy. “These are your uncles.” Yongguk said and Ki Joon giggled and held onto him.

The guys went to see Ki Joon’s nursery room. The little boy was excited to show them his toys and games and you noticed how the guys Jongup and Junhong were thrilled. They probably played games as well in their free time.

The guys were all upstairs with Ki Joon and you were smiling to yourself, upon seeing how comfortable he was to be alone with the guys despite it being his first time seeing them.

Yongguk and you were left alone in the living room. You quickly noticed the silence, once everyone left. You looked around you, not really knowing what to say. He finally ended the silence and spoke.

“I ordered the food, it will be here sometime soon.” He said and rubbed the back of his neck and you nodded.

“I made a few dishes, but what did you order?” You asked while looking at him.

Yongguk was looking at you. He noticed your simple outfit, but you had done something of yourself. You wore light makeup, your lips were grape red, and your eyes beamed more than usual.

He tilted his head a little while his gaze wandered down you and your heart began to race, when you caught him looking at you. He never really noticed how you looked in simple clothes like jeans and t-shirts. Your cheeks suddenly heated up, because he was looking at you intently. Why was he gazing at you like that?

“Yongguk?” You called out in a silent tone, and he finally looked into your eyes.

He walked closer to you and you stood still. He was getting too close to you and you took a step back. Your heart began to race and you felt it pound in your chest. Yongguk was only a few inches away from you now, he leaned down to your face and reached your height.

He looked intensely into your eyes and you gazed at him quietly with crease between your brows. He noticed your long black lashes and big brown eyes. He leaned down to you and you shut your eyes tightly and your body tensed. Yongguk bit down on his lip and grinned.

Your eyes widened, when he suddenly reached his hand out and touched your cheek. He brushed your cheek lightly and you blinked confused. Your heart dropped to your stomach, when he carefully your cheek.

He stood still whilst looking at your cheek with his eyes narrowed. You wondered about what he was doing. He pursed his lips as though he was looking at something closely.

Then he spoke. “You had some dough on you.” He pulled back after removing his hand from your face and he let out a bright chuckle.

You blinked confused and quickly rubbed your cheek and noticed the dough on your hand. You mentally cussed yourself for not checking yourself in the mirror before opening the door. You had dough on your face all along.

Yongguk took his finger up to his mouth and he suddenly on it. Your eyes widened as you looked at him off the dough from his finger whilst he looked into your eyes. Your heart suddenly began to race.

“Pancakes.” He said and his lips.

“Are there more pancakes?” He asked as he looked into your eyes.

You stood frozen and couldn’t believe that he just off the dough from his finger that he got off your cheek. You raised a brow at him and crossed your arms.

“I thought you didn’t like my pancakes?” You asked, as you remembered the first time you made pancakes for him, and he scoffed.  

“It’s not for me, it’s for Daehyun.” He said and you rolled your eyes at him.

“I never said that I wanted some.” He added and you scoffed and you made a face at him.

Yongguk chuckled lightly, seeing your expression. It was amusing and you rolled your eyes at him. It had been months since you moved into his house, and you still remembered what he said about your pancakes back then. He was just joking then.

“Kwon.” He laughed suddenly and you looked at him with your arms crossed.

“I joked back then.” He said and you froze.

“I like the pancakes you make.” He said and laughed.

Yongguk was laughing seen as you looked upset. He grinned and moved his hand up and suddenly ruffled your hair. Yongguk was still standing close to you and he was laughing as he messed your hair. Your heart skipped a beat, when you heard his sweet and bright laugh. He flashed his perfect gums.

You froze and your expression was still as you looked up at him. You suddenly took a hold of his hand and stopped him from ruining your hair.

Yongguk froze, when you got a grip of his hand and he looked back into your eyes quietly. The two of you stared into each other’s eyes for a few seconds and your heart was racing, oddly.

“You are such a tease, you know that, right?” You said and rolled your eyes.

Yongguk looked at you quietly and he suddenly grinned. You frowned and furrowed your brows, when he leaned down to you and his face was inches away from yours. Your heart was up in your throat and your eyes widened.

“Yeah and it’s fun to tease you.” He replied with a grin.

You blinked a couple of times as you looked at him and Yongguk silently looked into your eyes. You didn’t say anything back, but you were frozen and your heart was racing. Yongguk suddenly furrowed his brows.

The guys came back down in the living room and the pair of you pulled back. Ki Joon ran up to Yongguk and he was so happy.

“Uncle Jongup and Junhong says we can go gaming.” He said thrilled and you giggled.

“Oh really, that sounds like a lot of fun.” You said and the little boy nodded.

“And Daehyun uncle says we can go swimming.” Ki Joon added happily and you giggled.

“We have a pool right here, though.” Yongguk said and you suddenly met his gaze.

You hadn’t even used the pool once since you moved in. “We can use that someday.” Yongguk said and Ki Joon nodded.

“I want to go to the beach though.” Daehyun quickly added.

“Youngjae uncle wants to go gaming too.” Ki Joon said and Youngjae walked up to him and ruffled his hair.

“You are so good at remembering our names.” Youngjae said and chuckled- “You are smart like your uncle.” He said, hinting to himself.

The other boys scoffed at his self-compliment, but you laughed as you thought it was cute. You looked towards the guys and smiled grateful at them. Ki Joon seemed to be comfortable around them, but you could also sense how laid back and sweet they all were.

It was easy to feel comfortable around them. You felt silly now for being nervous to meet Yongguk’s friends, but you wanted to get to know them better.

Himchan walked beside Yongguk and nudged his shoulder.

“So, how is it going with him, is he adapting well?” Himchan asked quietly.

“Yes, so far it’s going well” Yongguk said with a happy smile and Himchan smiled wider in return, relived and happy to hear those good news.

You looked towards Ki Joon, who was playing with Daehyun and Youngjae. Yongguk’s friends seemed like some pretty nice guys, who knew how to be around kids.

“So, do any of you have any younger siblings? You are all so good with kids?” You asked out of curiousity.

The guys looked at you and each one of them smiled, and you looked at them confused, because they had the same expression. Daehyun looked around his friends and chuckled.

“Actually, all of us are the youngest in our families” Youngjae said.

“Oh really?” You asked surprised with widened eyes.

“Yeah, we only have older siblings.” Daehyun said and the others nodded.

“All of us are the youngest siblings. It’s funny right?” Himchan asked and you laughed agreeing.

“So, among you guys.” You said and paused as you looked at Jongup and Junhong.

“You two are the youngest, right?” You asked them and they looked at you with mouths open in surprise.

“How did you guess that?” Youngjae asked and you grinned.

Time went by and the guys were playing soccer in the backyard whilst you were preparing the last things. You couldn’t help but steal a glance at them every now and then.

Ki Joon was having a blast with the boys and you were quite taken back at how quickly he opened up especially towards Junhong. The two fooled around and had lots of fun. The file guy named Himchan was trying really hard to get close to Ki Joon, which was funny.

Junhong was showing Ki Joon tricks with the ball and the little boy tried doing it and laughed whole heartedly. You couldn’t help but laugh as you looked at the two boys, who were having fun.

You set the dinner table and placed the meals out that Yongguk had ordered. You were fixing the things yourself, and you were in your own little world, when a deep and familiar voice spoke up.

“Do you need help?”

You turned around startled and saw Yongguk, who was leaning against the wall whilst gazing at you, a few feet away from you. He had his arms crossed and he looked at you intently. You wondered about how long he had been standing there and watching you. You swallowed hard and shook your head.

“I’m almost done.” You said and walked past him.

Yongguk turned around and suddenly grabbed a hold of your arm and stopped you. You frowned and turned to look at him.

“Have you seen how happy Ki Joon is?” He asked whilst smiling.

You blinked your eyes a couple of times at him, as you looked up and into his eyes that beamed. He seemed so happy right now. Just like Ki Joon and you. You returned his smile and nodded.

“He seems to like your friends.” You said and looked out and saw the guys laughing and playing with Ki Joon.

“I’m glad you invited them.” You added with a smile and your cheeks got bright pink as he suddenly gave you a wide smile.

Yongguk flashed his perfect gums to you and chuckled whilst shaking his head. He was glad to hear you say that somehow. Your heart skipped a beat. You rarely saw Yongguk smile like that to you.

You looked at his arm, as he still had a hold you and he pulled back shyly after realizing that he held your arm for a bit too long. He rubbed the back of his neck, gave you a small smile and walked towards the fridge. You touched your arm, where he held you and shook your head and took a deep breath.

Yongguk took out the cold sodas from the fridge and went to place it on the dining table. You gazed at him as he began to help you in the kitchen and you looked down and smiled.

He grabbed the salad and began to cut it. You smiled to yourself and went to stand beside him. Yongguk noticed you gazing at him, but he looked down on the cutting board made of brown wood. He began to cut the tomatoes.

You looked at the way he cut it and observed his techniques and couldn’t help but laugh, because he accidentally squeezed the tomatoes a bit too hard and the juice came out. He furrowed his brows as he thought of how to cut the tomatoes nicely.

“Don’t laugh Kwon.” He said and clenched his jaw and breathed out deeply.

You bit your lip to suppress you laughter, and then you grabbed the knife from his hand and your hands touched. You held your breath for a second and ignored the skin contact and began to cut t

Chapter 5: It was nice to see them bonding with Ki Joon and in turn, him slowly opening up to them. And Yongguk's behaving this way towards her because he's kinda jealous of things unknowingly right? LoL... Setting my delulu mind aside, he's gotta change and not be like those elementary boys who are rude to their crush. Nonetheless, I hope they get to know each other better soon. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to fool their family this way. Anyway, I will be back later to read more ^^

Chapter 4: Ooh, Ki Joon is here finally!! But like Taec said, it's gonna take him some time to get used to the new environment and to also think of them as his mom and dad. But when they get there, it's gonna be really nice. And in that time, he's gonna bring in some romance between his adopted parents. Can't wait to read how things would go herein. But will be back later to do so ^^

Chapter 3: Hahaha when she thought there was some intruder, I was expecting it to be one of the other boys. Definitely didn't expect it would turn out this way. I laughed really hard. Like Yongguk, I think their cohabitation would be fun too. And I went through your blog to look at all the pictures at once. It was nice to have a visual aid for all those room. And I can't wait for Ki Joon's arrival. Will be back later to read more ^^

Chapter 2: Sera's and Taec's friendship is sweet. Hope there won't be a love triangle or something later. Also, can't wait to see Ki Joon. BTW isn't Poodle one of the hypoallergenic dog breeds? Tigger is a poodle right? That's what I remember reading but correct me if I was wrong. Anyway, now that she has gotten his address, wonder when she'll move in and how things turn develop (fights or so) before Ki Joon gets home. Will be back later to read more ^^

Chapter 1: Read the first chapter and gotta say it was a pretty good start. Definitely didn't expect the adoption to start this way. I'm definitely looking forward to their cohabitation. I'm sure they are gonna bicker all the time Ki Joon wasn't around. And speaking of Ki Joon, I'm curious of one thing. When you explained his backstory, I failed to understand this part. Is he N.Korean by origin/blood and lost his parents while trying to defect to S.Korea? Did I understand that part correctly? Anyway, I can't wait to read more. But will be back later to do so ^^

Yongguk frustrates me, like he can read Kwon like an open book but he is so closed that we don't know what he thinks or feels.
