Games

— Chapter 32 —

Hyunjin switches off the light, and walks out of the room as quietly as he can. He slowly closes the door, holding the handle so it doesn't click when he closes it. When the door is closed, he lets go of tha handle carefully and begins to walk down the corridor.

As he is making his way down the stairs, he notices Jisung watching him walk down. Jisung tilts his head. "Is she asleep?" He says quietly, the quietest Hyunjin has experienced him be.

Hyunjin nods, and begins to walk away.

"How are you going to here her if she wakes up?" Jisung asks, following Hyunjin. "This house is pretty big, and we couldn't even hear Seungmin when he was 25 feet away."

Hyunjin chuckles. "Well she usually doesn't wake up once she goes to sleep." He looks at Jisung. "But if she does–" he holds up the baby monitor he set up in her new room.

"Ohh." Jisung hums.

Hyunjin smiles.

Today has been a very eventful day. They have all moved into their own rooms— considering this house has almost ten bedrooms. Nabi has gotten her own room as well, so Hyunjin has spent his time baby-proofing it while Nabi decorated it to her liking. That explains why she is going to sleep so early, the moving wore her out.

They also have gotten her signed up for the homeschool program, and she even did a few little welcome classes today. Hyunjin made sure of two things—that she was comfortable, and that he knew who her teacher was.

So after all of that, and dinner— cooked by Hyunjin, Jisung had the idea and asked if they could play a few games tonight to loosen everybody up, and to get to know each other just a bit more.

Hyunjin and Jisung enter the living room, causing everybody to greet them. They are all sitting down comfortably, a few on the floor near the coffee table and a few on the couches.

"You guys got alcohol? How?" Jisung asks, taking the empty seat between Seungmin and Minho.

"We sent chan up to the store." Felix says. "We would have gotten it delivered, but we figured since we are in a house gnash supposed to be a secret, that wouldn't be such a good idea."

"You guys drove that far out just to get alcohol?" Hyunjin asks, chuckling. He takes a seat on the couch next to Felix, who takes the blanket next to them and concerns them both in it. "Even when there is a kid in the house?" Hyunjin asks, making everybody start to feel a bit guilty.

"Loosen up, she's asleep." Seungmin says. "I'm sure she won't ask for a shot."

Everyone starts to laugh, but Hyunjin sighs. "I don't think you get what I'm saying." He mumbles quietly. Felix puts a hand on his thigh under the blanket, giving him a 'it's fine, stop worrying' look. Hyunjin just sighs agin, putting his hand on top of Felix's.

"Okay so." Minho starts, pulling out a box of cars. "I got this little card game for us. You basically just pick a card, read the question on it, and then answer the question." He says. "Very simple, but it helps us know each other better."

"Are they.. appropriate questions?" Chan asks.

Jisung starts to giggle. "Yes, dad, I'm sure they won't ask the color of our panties."
