FATAL TROUBLE (REVERSE HAREM)

Part 76

"You know, you could have started a restaurant with this skill."

"Thanks, my Queen." Jay stirred the pot and glanced at you with a smile. You were perched up on the counter beside the fruit basket and away from the stove. Legs swinging and talking to him while waiting for others.

Jungwon and Heeseung were already at the table, scrolling through their phones and occasionally joining in with your conversation. The cooks and some servants did come to Jay earlier for help but he dismissed them, telling them not to come to this wing of the mansion unless asked for. The group of young men and women glanced at you and they received a heart warming smile and a little wave directed to them.

"But, you know..." you started and Jay looked at you, gesturing you to continue, "I haven't cooked a single dish except omelette. I suck at cooking. Well, let's say...I'm not interested."

"You don't have to when I'm here, sweetheart."

You smiled at him and finishing the last bite of the apple and you jumped off the counter to throw the seeds away.

"You two, show me what you're watching!" you placed yourself on the empty chair in between the two and looked at both of their phone, both are adding different things to the cart and especially dresses — for girls.

"Who are you shopping for?" You folded your arms and looked at both the sides.

"You."

Both of them replied at the same time.

"O-okay...but why? I don't need anything."

"Well, darling...we don't need to ask you." Jungwon gave you a dimpled smile before turning his phone screen towards you, "how is it?" It was a pack of five bow clips.

"Pretty."

Heeseung wrapped his arm around your shoulders and whispered in your ears, "should I order some lingerie?"

You gasped and hit his chest and when you heard chuckle from your other side, it was sure that Jungwon heard it too.

"Jay!" You called out for the man in the kitchen.

Jay turned his head from the pot, a sly smirk tugging at his lips as he walked over to where the rest of you were gathered. He leaned against the counter, arms crossed, his eyes glinting with amusement.

"What's going on here?" he asked, raising a brow, though the smirk on his face made it clear he already had an idea.

Before you could speak, Jungwon grinned and pointed at Heeseung. "Hyung here suggested ordering lingerie for her."

Jay chuckled, crossing the room in two strides to ruffle your hair. "Is that so? You better watch out, sweetheart. With Heeseung hyung and Jungwon tag-teaming like this, you might end up with an entire wardrobe you didn't ask for."

You groaned, covering your face with your hands as laughter echoed around the room. "Why are all of you like this? Can't you just not?"

Just as Jay was about to respond, the rest of the boys —Sunghoon, Jake, Sunoo, and Niki—wandered into the dining area. Sunghoon, his gaze falling on you, immediately noticed the amused looks on everyone's faces. "What's so funny?"

"Don't worry," Jungwon started, his dimples deepening as he glanced at you, "we were just picking out some new clothes for her."

"And something special," Heeseung added with a smirk.

Sunoo's jaw dropped in mock horror, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Wait, wait. I missed what? Don't tell me hyung suggested something like I'm imagining."
