Author's POV
...
Right after Hoseok teased Sunghoon about your shared sweet moments Jin then came and scolded Hoseok before he invited you for dinner which you happily accept because you would get the chance to taste his food. Since you don't have anything to do at home and your parents are both busy and probably would stay overnight at their office, you decided to stay and spend some time at their place.
Hoseok being a friendly one, he snatched you away from Sunghoon, taking you down to the living room and had a chitchat with you about random things, mostly about funny things which both of you felt like almost dying from laughing out your lungs. He seem like a happy virus but in a human form and he infected you. 
On your conversation with him, you found out that his life status is just like Sunghoon, he also came from a wealthy family but decided to choose his dream of being a professional photographer instead of taking the company after his father.
He also had mentioned that he's into producing song, specifically rap song and of course he can rap and he's currently working on a song with Ryu which is also their friend and living with them. He said he would like to introduce you with Ryu but unfortunately, Ryu is not at home for some important matter at their hometown at Daegu and probably will be home late. He even show you their picture together in his phone which he's using as home wallpaper. You noticed at the way he talks about Ryu, you could tell that they are really close friends.
Seeing the picture of the guy named 'Ryu' made you remember the fighting scene at Julius's home party that time. He's the one who caught you when you're being shoved away from that pervert guy, he's with Sunghoon that time. That's why he looked familiar to me. You thought.
"No way, I'm not going to do that beauty tip from you." you laughed as you leaned your back comfortably on the couch while hugging a small pillow.
"Girl, it will make your face glow and healthy!" he also laughed and from your peripheral vision you could see Sunghoon's figure heading downstairs, you could feel his stare too for a few seconds before he went to the kitchen.
"I won't slap my face thirty times just to get a glowing and healthy skin." you shake your head.
"You don't need it anyway, because your face is already pretty healthy." he says propping his chin on the palm of his hands as he playfully wink at you and you just chuckle at his cuteness. You already feel close with this happy guy just by having a conversation with him. You like his neatness and innocence in a friendly way.
"Yah! This is why I won't let you help me with cooking."
The nagging voice of Jin from the kitchen interrupts you and Hoseok's conversation. You both snapped your heads towards the kitchen's direction.
"What was that?" you asks, looking back to Hoseok. His confused face was quickly replaced by a knowing one.
He shake his head, eyes has a little hint of concern and disappointment. "As expected, Sunghoon would always got himself hurt everytime he goes to help Jin hyung at the kitchen." he explains and your eyes widen. He got himself hurt?
Without thinking, you didn't hesitate to stand up from the couch and hurriedly went to the kitchen with Hoseok trailing behind you and there you saw Jin shaking his head in disappointment at Sunghoon while his hands are resting on both side of his waist that seems reminding you of a look of disappointed mother. Meanwhile Sunghoon is standing there beside Jin with a silly smile on his face, indicating that he's used to things like this. Your eyes scan him and your gaze landed on the fresh cut he just had on his index finger.
"God, Hoon your hand." you gasp, walking towards him, failing to notice the surprise in their faces because your eyes were too focused on his hand. You carefully held his hand as you examine it. You glanced down at the onion on the chopping board. So he got himself hurt just by cutting this onion? "Aish, you should be careful next time." you mumble out with a frown of concern on your face being oblivious to the smile they had now on their faces, especially Sunghoon who's staring down at you with a wide grin on his face, for once in his life he thanked his clumsy side for getting to see you like this, caring for him and your sweetness as you take him to the sink, letting the water run down to his cut to wash away the blood.
"Yuna, I'm fine. It's just--" he started to talk but you interrupt him.
"Shhs, shut up and just let me do this." you muttered enough for the both of you to hear, forgetting the presence of the two who's still in the kitchen silently enjoying the sight of you and Sunghoon acting like a couple.
Not until...
"Atchoo!
Realization hits you like a truck, you immediately backed away from Sunghoon after letting go off his hand. Finally remembering that Jin and Hoseok are still there. Oh my god, did they saw it? Shit. I'm dead. You thought. Heat rushing up to your cheeks, turning it into rosy red that shows how feeling embarrass you are right now.
"Aish, why do you always ruin a sweet moment, Seok?!" You saw how Jin smacked Hoseok at the arm earning an 'Ouch' word from the younger while rubbing the aching spot where Jin have just smacked.
"Geez. I can't control my sneeze, hyung." Hoseok defended himself at the older's accusation before their eyes are on you again and gives you a sheepish smiles.
Not wanting to make things more awkward you immediately put on your acting mode as you smile back at them as if your moment with Sunghoon just a minute ago didn't happened. "I can help you with cooking." you say towards Minjo and his face lit up in relief.
"Jinja? Thanks but...you're our guess here. I can't say yes to that." he kindly refused but you insisted, and you won. Ending up helping him with tonight's dinner.
"And I will take care of Sunghoon." Hoseok chimed in, taking the pouting Sunghoon away from you to treat his cut. You could hear the faint sound of their voice bickering about the cut from the living room, especially Sunghoon's voice telling Hoseok that he can treat it on his own but Hoseok won't let him.
"I'm not a baby, hyung! I can do it on my own."
"I'm still older than you so shut up and let me do it--Yah! I said stay still--"
"Aw, it hurts!"
"Idiot. I haven't dab the alcohol yet!"
Their bickering at the living room stops when yours and Jin's laughter burst out, echoing inside the kitchen. The two felt embarrassed knowing you heard them, causing Hoseok to give Sunghoon a warning glare to stay still or else he won't go easy on his cut and Sunghoon only sigh in defeat, staying quiet as he let Hoseok.
While you and Jin are still laughing out loud in the kitchen, both holding your stomach that is now aching from laughing so hard.
"Oh my god, that's so hilarious." Jin commented as he wiped his tears of joy, finally calming down himself, same as you who's now leaning your body on the counter, feeling weak from laughing so hard.
"Yeah and Hoseok is an amazing friend." you replied pushing yourself away from the counter as you walk towards Jin and stand beside him, eyeing down the ingredients. "So, shall we start, Mr Handsome Chef?" you playfully asks, expecting to see him get flustered but his attitude surprised you again for the second time.
"We shall, my beautiful Co-Chef." he says, playing along with you as he placed his hand under his chin, proudly flexing his handsome face at you and you couldn't help yourself not to get distracted a bit by his handsomeness. This Minjo guy is surely handsome and confident with it. You thought as you nod understandingly at him before grabbing the knife and started cutting some vegetables while he started chopping a whole chicken.
The two of you made a great teamwork as you successfully did a great job in cooking dinner. Jin was impressed at your cooking skills and even compliments you very well. You two had talked and shared some of your memorable experiences in cooking, exchanging tips and techniques. You even told him about the Filipino foods you know and he said he wanted to try the 'Adobo Chicken' which you promise to cook for them next time.
Placing the foods on the dining table, "Food is ready!" Jin announced and soon the two came back to the kitchen, taking a seat on both side of the table just right on time you heard the main door opens and then closes with a low thud sound telling that someone just came home.
Ryu you thought and the pale handsome guy finally came to the kitchen with a boring face and seem looking tired, eyes landing on you the moment he enters and your eyes locked at each other. Ryu was surprised for a second at the sight of you as he stopped at the doorstep, his cold stare and intimidating aura sends some shiver down to your spine but that didn't last when Hoseok opened his mouth to speak.
"Hyung, you're finally home. By the way, this is Yuna. Yuna, this is Ryu." Hoseok introduced the two of you to each other and the guy gives you a small smirk meaning...he still remember that night and that...that unintentional hug.
"Hi." he simply greets you, extending his hand towards you for a handshake.
"H-hello." Not knowing why you stutter, you reached his hand, shaking it and you felt the heat rising up to your cheeks when he didn't let go off your hand.
"We met again, princess." he added, smirk turning into a gummy smile. Oh no, are you blushing?! Eotteokke?
As if your prayer immediately listened by the god, a long and big hand pulled your hand away from Ryu's.
"And I'm glad you're finally home so we can start to eat now because I'm damn starving." Sunghoon says, fake laughing, and jealousy's clearly obvious on his voice. Your head snapped towards him when he pulled you closer and made you sit next to him. Earning a mischievous smirk from Ryu while Jin, Hoseok and Sunoo was silently observing the scene in front them.
Why's Ryu acting up like that?
"Hyung, do something!" Hoseok mouthed to Jin, sensing something and Jin being the responsible eldest he is, he take the action to ease up whatever the tension is.
"Since we're finished with the introduction let's start eating now. Take your seat now Ryu." Jin chimed in taking the middle seat looking like a father figure in the house, successfully easing up the tension as Ryu finally took his seat next to Hoseok, across you.
The whole dinner was good and fun because of Hoseok unlimited stories and Jin's daddy's jokes that you found hilarious. You and Sunghoon joined too in the conversation, except Ryu who's just silently eating and you caught him stealing glances at you many times. It's not in a weird way or feeling creepy. You can tell. Maybe he's just secretly observing your behavior. Well, it's normal for a person to do that. You just decided to think in a positive way rather than assume things.
Sunghoon didn't failed to notice it though, but he just keep his cool and decided to ignore it, he's sure his hyung is up to something and that is to tease him. He knows how bratty his hyung could get whenever it comes to him, he knows Ryu is acting up like that probably to make him jealous. He hate to admit it but...it works, especially seeing how your cheeks turned into red at that handshake moment.
...
"Thank you so much for the dinner." you say as you stepped out of the house, turning to face them who's giving you a smile.
"You're welcome, Sunshine." Hoseok replied.
"Please feel free to visit us often, Yuna." Jin says and you nodded.
"I will. And we will cook Adobo Chicken together." You say earning a chuckle from Jin and thumbs up while Ryu just simply smile at you and wave goodbye at you which you happily return.
And your eyes finally landed on Sunghoon. You heard Jin cleared a throat before waving goodbye at you and dragged the two inside, leaving you and Sunghoon alone. "I'll drive you home." he offers and you were about to say no but he beats you to it. "No buts." he added already have his car key on his hand, taking your wrist as he lead you to his car.
"Ugh, fine." you mutter, giving away as both of you get inside his car. "Your friends and cousin are amazing by the way. I like them." you tell him as you watch him turning on the engine and started driving on.
"Yeah they are." he replied eyes focusing on the road as he drives and you took that moment to looked at his side profile while driving, not realizing that you're staring at him for long until you heard him chuckling.
"Take a picture of it. It will last long." he says, turning his head at you as he smirk and you divert your eyes away, awkwardly clearing your throat as you felt embarrassed after being caught.
"I'm not staring at you. I'm just spacing out." you lied, turning your head to the window, eyes focusing on the street lights. Also to hide your red face.
"Whatever, baby." you heard him laughed causing you to snapped your head back to him as you glare at him but that didn't last long when you see his smile.
"I'm confused. Why did you said you don't want them near me? They're nice tho." you asks, voicing out your curiosity as you turn your body to fully face him.
He sigh, "Just because." he replied without looking at you and you raised an eyebrow as you looked at him in disbelief. You're not satisfied with his answer.
"Just because? That's unfair. Jin oppa and Hoseok oppa are so kind and funny--"
"Wait, wait, wait," he cutted off your words and looked at you with a frown. "What did you just call them?"
"Jin oppa and Hoseok oppa?" you hesitantly repeat, feeling confused as you don't know what's wrong with you calling them oppa?
"Oppa?" he repeats in disbelief.
"Yes, why? what's wrong with that?" You asks, definitely feeling clueless and he scoffed at that.
"Jinja? wah, I can't believe this." he muttered under his breathe as he turn back his eyes on the road, looking disappointed and you narrow your eyes at him as you eyed him suspiciously.
"I don't see anything wrong about that, Hoon. Why are you disappointed at that?" You asks, curiously but he didn't answer you. Why am I smelling something like jealous? you thought and that's the time a sudden smirk appeared on your lips. "Wait, are you jealous?" you asks and you saw how his eyes widen as if he's just caught red-handed and finally looked at you again.
"What? me? Jealous? No way." he shake his head, stuttering a little bit at his words and you noticed the red color on his cheeks. You laugh at that.
You pointed at his red cheeks, "Really? then why are you red?" you asks, poking his right cheek to tease him more.
"It's just cold, that's why." he deny, focusing on the road as he avoid eye contact with you, only causing you to laugh more.
"Really? the heater is on, Hoon. I don't think so." you shake your head while Sunghoon only sigh, mentally praying to god to remove the blush on his face right now. Yes, he was jealous. But he doesn't want to show it.
After few more minutes, you finally arrived at your place.
"We're here." he tells you as he parked the car in front of your house.
"Thanks for driving me home." you thanked him and he smile at you.
"No problem."
Unbuckling your seatbelt, you stepped out and closed the door of his car. You turn around, bending a little so you could see him through the window.
"Have a safe drive back, Hoon." you waved goodbye at him.
"I will." He replied, giving you an assuring nod and a sweet smile before he waved goodbye and drive away.
You watched his car getting smaller as it goes further more and took a left turn. Seeing his car finally out of sight, you get inside your house.
After taking a shower and changing into your comfortable pajama, you jump on your bed, about to close your eyes but the sound of your phone ringing stops you.
Reaching your phone that you placed on the nightstand, you read the caller's ID only to see his name popping in your screen.
"Yes?" you answered, wondering if what would be the reason of him calling you at this time.
"Hey, did I wake you up? Sorry." you heard his voice from the other side, laced with care and unknowingly...a smile appeared on your lips. God, can he stop being like this? I don't think I could take it anymore. You thought but half of you doesn't want him to stop being like this.
"I was just about to sleep. It's alright." you chuckle, "So, what's up?" you asks, you could tell that he's already home by this time since it's too quite from the other line, you're guessing he's inside his room.
"Sorry for disturbing you at this hour. I just wanted to talk. I'm still not feeling lethargic at all."
"It's alright." you hum in respond without any hint of bothersome on your tone. "I was actually planning to call you to check if you did get home safe but yeah...you beat me to it." you added chuckling at the end. You're actually planning to call him but this man was fast to make a move before you could do it. By this hour, you admit you actually feel sleepy but with this man...you're willing to spend your sleep time from talking with him through the phone call because why not? He's your friend.
And the rest of your night was spent with talking to him on the phone until the both of you fell asleep.
