XXIV- Between the lines

You dropped your bag to the floor, laughing at a joke Jeongin had just made.

"God im beyond hungry." You groaned, "Whats for dinner?"

"Im cooking!" Minho smiled, making you gasp in excitement.

"Yes! Oh my god!" You tugged at his arm, "Can i help?"

He nodded, and you rushed to go freshen up before you could help him.

"Alright what're we making?" You clapped your hands together, entering the kitchen.

"Beef Wellington" Jisung said in his british accent, "Chan's favorite, you know?"

You laughed, playing along and talking in your best english accent, "Ah of course. Sounds delicious."

"What the hell is going on?" Seungmin entered the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water.

"If you're not going to help, get out." Minho instructed, making the puppy eyed boy furrow his eyebrows.

"Jisung is sitting right there!" Seungmin pointed to the stool on which Jisung sat, going through his phone.

Minho didn't reply, continuing to cook the big piece of meat.

You gave Seungmin a smile, and he shook his head, "I have no respect in this family."

"Y/N, can you chop these mushrooms for me?" Minho asked, holding up a bag of wild mushrooms.

You nodded, and got to work. Perfectly cutting the mushrooms with Minho's directions.

"Okay good job!" He said once you were done, grabbing the chopping board and handing you two eggs.

"Okay now crack and beat these." He said, and you nodded.

"Is he making you work too hard?" Felix's deep, happy voice made you look up.

"Not at all" You chuckled, as he leaned at the door, "I love cooking."

"Great 'cause Chan loves eating." He smirked.

Your heart skipped a beat, you knew what felix was trying to say between the lines.

"Yongbok, help me whisk this." Minho ordered, and Felix walked inside, to help you cook.

"Do you guys usually cook all the meals?" You asked, cutting up some more vegetables.

"Yeah, these guys are good for nothing." Minho said in a monotone.

"Especially 3racha." Felix added, making Jisung glare at him.

You laughed at their interactions. It made you happy to know how close they all were, like one big family.

You never had that. Living with your parents, and then living alone- both were equally lonely. But these guys had practically adopted you, taking you in as their own.

You continued cooking, and the members dropped in to check up.

Changbin came in once, and almost dropped the entire slab of beef. So, Minho forced him out. The incident had you and Jisung laughing for a long time.

Chan didn't come to check up on you, in fact, he was nowhere to be found. Along with Jeongin.

Once you were almost done, Minho told you to gather everyone at the table to eat.

Hyunjin and Felix already sat there, doodling in a sketchbook. You called over Changbin and Seungmin who were watching TV.

"Where is Chan? And Jeongin?" You asked Changbin.

"They're in my room, they said they needed to talk about something."

"Alright i'll go get them." You walked to Changbin's room and were about to knock on the door when..

"You need to tell her!" Jeongin whispered.

Her?

Curiosity got the best of you, and you pressed your ears against the door.

"Im not going to, drop the subject." Chan whispered back.

What were they talking about, you wondered

"She deserves to know!" Jeongin exclaimed

"She doesn't need to. Tust me."

"Chan, why are you acting like this? I thought you cared about her!"

You pulled your ear back, afraid to hear any more.

Its probably not about you, You assured yourself, Its another girl.

You shrugged of the strange feeling creeping up your stomach to your throat, and knocked on the door.

"Uh guys.. Dinners ready!"

Immediately the hushed whispers stopped.

"Coming!" Jeongin called out.

You nodded, immediately walking away.

As you sat at the table, Chan and Jeongin walked out too.

Chan chose the chair beside yours, making you more nervous than ever. He always sat beside you, but now it felt strange.

"Im so excited oh my gosh!" Chan said, smiling at you.

You smiled back, but it may not have been a natural one because Chan's expression grew concerned.

"Are you okay?" He whispered

"Uhhuh" You nodded.

"Are you sure?-"

Before you could reply, Minho came out with the food.

You began eating, and barely got any chance to talk to Chan, yet again.
