FATAL TROUBLE (REVERSE HAREM)

Part 65

"Noona, wake up."

You groaned again before turning around to your other side, hugging the pillow tightly. "Five minutes more."

"Others are waiting for you at the breakfast table." Niki combed your hair with his fingers and chuckled when you tried to pull the comforter to hide your face.

He sat up, removing the comforter slightly and pulling you in his lap, your head automatically resting on his shoulder, "I want to sleep."

"Leah called you earlier," he said and continued combing your hairs, he heard you humming and your breaths tickling his neck, "she asked me to tell you to call her just after you wake up."

"She's your Noona." You mumbled.

"No, you are my only Noona. My one and only favorite person in my life." He whispered into your hairs.

The door of your room opened, Sunoo walking inside, he glanced at both of you and slid his phone inside the pocket of his trouser and approached you. He sat just in front of Niki and rubbed your back in a comforting way.

"Ella, you should eat something because last night, you drank too much." Sunoo stated and nodded at Niki regarding something.

You adjusted in the younger's lap and spoke up, "it was just a little spiked. Jake told me yesterday that it's not going to make me heavily drunk."

"Then, wake up."

You groaned and buried your face deeper into the pillow. "No, I don't want to." you mumbled, voice muffled.

Before you could protest, his fingers lightly brushed your cheek. "So, can you handle my tickling?"

"No," you whined, trying to roll over, but Niki wasn't having it.

"Oh, come on," Niki teased, slinging an arm around your shoulders and pulling you upright. His proximity was close—too close—his laughter tickling your ear. Meanwhile, Sunoo leaned in to fix a stray strand of your messy hair, his smile soft but mischievous.

"You two need to learn about personal space," you muttered, half-exasperated, though a faint smile tugged at your lips.

"Noona, you're stuck with me now get up." Niki quipped, ruffling your hair before practically dragging you out of bed.

After freshening up, the three of you made your way to the breakfast table, where the rest of the group was already gathered. Conversations quieted as the three of you sat down, all eyes turning towards you.

"Well, Ella is finally here," Jake smirked, his gaze flicking between you, Niki, and Sunoo.

"What's with the glow?" Jay added, an eyebrow raised.

Jungwon, gave a supportive smile but didn't intervene as the teasing escalated. "You seem... cozy this morning."

"Very cozy," Heeseung chimed in, winking.

Your cheeks flushed as you tried to focus on your plate, but the snickers from the table only grew louder. Even Sunoo hid a laugh behind his hand, while Niki was already grinning ear to ear.

"Oh, that's it!" you exclaimed, bolting up from your seat. "I told you all in the car last night not to bring up whatever I did under the effect of drugs and alcohol!"

The boys scattered, chairs screeching against the floor as they made a break for the living room. You chased Jake first, who dodged around the couch, laughing hysterically. Jay wasn't far behind, teasing you with exaggerated calls of "Don't catch me too quickly!"

Niki joined the chaos, pretending to help you before darting away himself. Sunoo, meanwhile, stuck close, laughing but clearly rooting for you. He was not going to leave the side of his bestfriend.
