Chapter 8

Bittersweet

"Byunghun! I'm home!"

Chunji opened the door and yelled. "Also, we have a visitor! Come downstairs, you potato!" 

Eunjoo just smiled in amusement. Potato?

The two lived in a 10-story apartment, and they lived in the 8th floor. All the walls were white, and there was tasteful interior decoration all around. It was also very neat and tidy, which was surprising for Eunjoo, because whenever she went into her brother's room, she had to waft through a mountain of clothes and other stuff she which really didn't care enough to look closely at. 

When Chunji's call was met with silence, he just laughed apologetically to Eunjoo, then glared up the stairs. "Come on in! As you can see, this is the living room, and there's the kitchen, which is basically my domain because Byunghun can't even make an egg fry. Bathroom to your right, no basement here. Next to the bathroom is the storage room, which is filled with who knows what." They then went upstairs. "That's my room, where we'll be doing the project. Across is Mr. Potato's room, and next to his is the first guest room, which we just use for like video games and stuff. See the tv?" He pointed, and Eunjoo nodded. "Here's the other bathroom, the other guest room, the closet cabinet thingy, and yeah. That's it." He twirled, then laughed. 

"Oh, wait! You still haven't met Byunghun!"

Chunjii went to his housemate's room, then peeked inside. Eunjoo just heard a pair of screams as Chunji quickly closed the door, but not quick enough not to be hit by a tissue box. Eunjoo just frowned at the tissue box. She'd gotten a weird chill when she saw Chunji being hit.

She shook it off and looked at the boy confusedly. 

"U-uh, he's changing at the moment! He'll be out in a second!" He laughed nervously, and a deep blush had spread on his face, and Eunjoo couldn't help but start laughing hard. 

Chunji then joined in, but not as loudly. 

Once Eunjoo had stopped, her face was red. "Are you telling me that you've never walked in on him changing?" She asked. 

"I-I usually knock, and so does he." Chunji stammered. 

Eunjoo just shook her head with a grin on her face. 

Just then, the person who she assumed was Byunghun came out the door. His hair was honey blonde, and it was swept to the side but was long enough to cover his eyebrows. He, like Suga, had smaller eyes with monolids, but they were very charming. She could see two small moles under his left eye. He was very handsome, and he and Chunji were both attractive in their own ways. Chunji was more of a pretty flower boy, and Byunghun screamed charismatic.

He was also a bit… smaller than what Eunjoo had though. Of course, he was taller than her, but he was shorter than Chunji by a few centimetres. The skinny jeans and t-shirt he was wearing also showed his skinny figure. 

Byunghun smiled at Eunjoo politely, then glared at Chunji. "Who told you that you could just come into my room?" He asked scarily, and Eunjoo just looked at them in fright. 

Byunghun wouldn't hit Chunji, right? The taller boy had said they were best friends. 

Contrary to Eunjoo's worries, Chunji just giggled. 

"I'm sorry, Hunnie," he patted the shorter's head, who huffed but calmed down. "It's just, I was really excited for you to meet my new friend, Eunjoo!" He presented the girl, who waved awkwardly. 

Byunghun glared at Chunji once more, albeit it being more of a joke this time, and smiled again at Eunjoo. He looked her up and down, then smiled even wider. "I like her! She's so tiny!" He laughed, and Chunji smacked his the other boy's arm with a look of horror on his face. 

"Byunghun! How could you say that without thinking about the other person's feelings?!" He scolded, and Byunghun apologetically bowed at Eunjoo. 

"I'm very sorry." He said, and Eunjoo's eyes widened as she frantically waved her hands. 

"Oh, no, it's really alright! I already know I'm really short! Really, it's no deal at all." 

Chunji still had an uncertain look on his face as her glanced at Byunghun pointedly, who shrugged. 

"You heard the girl." He said. 

"But still~" the taller whined as he stomped his feet, looking extremely adorable. 

"I'll be careful next time, alright, Chanhee?" 

Byunghun sighed and tip-toed to pat his housemate's head. 

Eunjoo, who was just watching, smiled widely.

"You guys look so good together. I ship it. Hmm… Chunjoe? Yeah." 

She said, not realizing that she was doing so.
 
The two boys stopped bickering and looked at each other, then at Eunjoo. 

Eunjoo was nodding to herself, then realized what she'd just said. She quickly bowed a few times then nervously said,

"I-I'm so sorry! I've been watching too much Exo and I didn't mean to say is out loud and… and… I'm really sorry!"

The other two just laughed. Chunji pinched her cheeks. 

"Aw, Eunjoo, you're so cute! Oh, and our Byunghun here likes Exo, too! Don't you, L.Joe?" He smiled at the other boy, and Eunjoo looked at him with surprise. Byunghun didn't seem like the type to like the boy band, but he nodded. 

"Yeah, I actually kinda know Chanyeol." He confirmed, and Eunjoo's eyes widened. 

"Woah!! That's… that's so cool!" She grinned widely. "Have you been to any of their concerts? I've really wanted to ever since they debuted but it's all the way in Exoplanet and that's too far so-" 

Chunji suddenly hugged her (well, more like hugged her neck because of the height difference) protectively and Eunjoo's face was beet red in a flash. 

Byunghun noticed and looked between the two others, and his mouth slowly curled into a smirk. Eunjoo bit her lip anxiously, as she could tell that Byunghun knew she liked Chunji from her face. 

"Stop being so friendly! I swear, if you steal my new friend-" Chunji started, then paused with a look of confusion when his best friend started laughing. "Hey, what's so funny?" 

Byunghun pointed at Eunjoo, whose blood ran cold at the action("It's rude to point at people, Byunghun!" Chunji had naïvely scolded). 

"Chanhee, you're choking the poor girl. And you're telling me to be careful?" Byunghun smirked again, and Eunjoo looked at him in confusion. Was she wrong? Did he actually not notice?

"I'm actually alright-" she started, but the tallest jumped back and examined her carefully, which made the girl blush even harder while Byunghun was laughing his sides off. 

"I'm so sorry, Eunjoo! Look how red you are!" (L.Joe made a dying sound.) Chunji nervously bit his lip. 

"No, it's alright! I… I'm just sensitive to warmth, that's all. It's no biggie." Eunjoo lied, as she knew it was the exact opposite, as she could get cold in 30 degree weather. 

Chunji nodded nervously, then looked at his housemate, whose face was also red. "And why are you laughing?" He asked. 

"It's because you're so stupid!" The red-faced boy snorted. Chunji gave him an annoyed look, then looked again at Eunjoo, who was just standing there. 

"Come on, let's work on the project while Mr. Potato dies here." He smiled sweetly. 

Eunjoo absentmindedly nodded, and followed Chunji, who was heading to his room. She then turned around and looked at Byunghun once more, and inhaled sharply. 

The boy on the ground looked at her and at (clueless) Chunji pointedly and winked with a smirk. He got up, dusted himself off, nodded once at Eunjoo and went back into his room. 

"Hey, Eunjoo, you coming today or what?" Chunji laughed, already in his own room. 
"Huh? O-oh, yeah." Eunjoo stammered and went into Chunji's bedroom.
