"Yah, Asahi! Someone's knocking on the door" Jihoon yelled from the living room and still busy playing video games with Haruto and Doyoung.
Asahi stopped reading his current book and stood from his seat to open the door and see who was knocking.
"I hope I am not yet late" a brown-haired male mumbled, greetinh Asahi with his cute bright smile.
"I thought you're not coming" Asahi asked. Jeongwoo then placed his things inside his apartment.
"I'll help you" the japanese offered and helped Jeongwoo with his luggage.
"Jeongwoo!!!" Doyoung energetically shouted his name. Jeongwoo smiled at him and waved at the three at the living room.
"Oh you're here. You arrived at the right time, the food was cooked already. Let's eat" Junkyu welcoming the wolf look-a-like male.
Jaehyuk then walked out from the kitchen to see the two carrying Jeongwoo's bags.
"Let me also help you with that" Asahi offered getting the bag from Jeongwoo.
"No it's fine, I can handle. Where do I have to place this?"
"You can just unpack at my room" the japanese said then smiled at him.
Jaehyuk, who was quietly watching them as he felt a little pang on his chest. He doesn't know why does his smile looked different around this Jeongwoo guy. He couldn't understand himself.
When the japanese almost reached Jaehyuk's position, the latter looked up to him, when their eyes again connected against each other Jaehyuk swore that it made his heart again beat uncontrollably fast.
Jaehyuk wanted to express how much he wanted Asahi to smile at him like that too but the latter was just careless to know that.
"Can you walk to the side? You're blocking the way" Asahi coldly muttered. It kinda hurted him a bit but eventually walked to the side so they can proceed to Asahi's room.
As much as he wanted to hit his head right now he can't still do that. Asahi can really be stubborn sometimes but at this time like this, he just wanted to hug him until he couldn't breathe.
"Jaehyuk? Are you okay?" Junkyu asked him looking all worried to the younger hybrid.
"Y-yeah" he stutter trying to reply to Junkyu and avoiding his gaze.
"Or maybe are you perhaps jealous?" The older playfully asked and his face displayed a smirk.
"J-jealous? I-I can't be jealous" he doesn't even know what that word means. He can't be jealous.
"Yes you are. You know it's a feeling that you are sad to see the person you like with someone else. Something like that" well speaking of sad, it wasn't really sad, or maybe it is. He just doesn't want Asahi to be with someone else rather than him.
The japanese isn't even smiling like that around him. And also the fact that he let Jeongwoo unpack on his room.
ON. HIS. FREAKING. ROOM
While him, he isn't even allowed to step inside his room like that. He could be feeling more betrayed right now as his thoughts were lingering around his head.
"Do you like him?" Junkyu again asked.
Doyoung have mentioned about it before and maybe he really liked the japanese but jealous? He wasn't so sure about it. And he also thinks that it was too soon to tell him about his feelings.
"I.. I don't know" Junkyu reassuringly smiled at the hybrid before patting his head.
"Maybe you still need more time to think.. By the way, let's go. You must be hungry right now" Junkyu started to call out the others who were busy playing at the living room.
They set up the living room since the dining area was too small for all of them. Not so long after, the two finally went out of the japanese's room and joined them eating.
The whole time, Jaehyuk was just staring at the japanese in front of him and was quietly eating. He was still thinking of what Junkyu remarked.
He couldn't help but to sulk. What if he just walk out of his house and find another owner to took care him? Or maybe he'll lessen talking to him on some times.
Maybe the japanese will still not care when he leave his apartment and besides he doesn't have any more place to stay right now.
He just pouted and reached for the ketchup bottle but the bottle cap was too tight for him to open the ketchup. It was just the right time when Asahi finally looked up and saw the older struggling to open the ketchup bottle.
He stood a bit from his seat before he stole the ketchup from the older and used all his force to open the bottle for him. Jaehyuk smiled like he just won the lottery.
"Thank you" he mouthed. He just nodded his head and continued his food.
Well, I guess he wasn't sulking anymore. Besides, who was leaving his apartment? He was staying here for the rest of his life.
When all of them finished eating Asahi volunteered to arrange the plates and bring them to the kitchen sink.
"Haruto, you go wash the plates" Jihoon commanded. Haruto just rolled his eyes and eventually proceeded to the kitchen.
Jeongwoo was about to help Asahi to fix the living room when Junkyu stopped him.
"Jeongwoo, it's okay. Jaehyuk will be helping Asahi. You can go help Haruto instead" he playfully said while looking at Jaehyuk beside him.
"Oh okay" Jeongwoo agreed and followed the younger japanese to the kitchen to help him with the plates.
Jaehyuk looked startled and pointed himself.
"You go help Asahi!" Junkyu cheered him and gently pulled him to stand up and started working.
Jaehyuk started to pick up some plates but he was startled when someone touched his hands from the plates. He immediately looked up and saw that it was Asahi.
The japanese widened his eyes before pulling out his hands as fast as he could.
"Sorry" he immediately apologized. He didn't even responded and just couldn't help but to smile widely at to what just happened.
