[Step-Brother] - k.th & l.m✔️

// 3 - tickle fight //

I tossed and turned a bit, I couldn't exactly fall asleep. I was afraid of having another one of those nightmares, whatever they were.

I got yanked from my thoughts as I heard a knock on my door. I sat up, "come in!"

The door opened slowly and Taehyung popped his head inside, "mom and dad are leaving soon, come say goodbye,"

"Okay." I got out of bed but Taehyung put his hand out to stop me.

I noticed his eyes were fixated on my legs, more so my feet.

"What? What's wrong?" I glanced down at my shorts. Which I'd changed into last minute.

"Put on some shoes, please," Taehyung said, pointing down at my feet.

I sighed, "I don't feel like it! Let's just go~!" I made an attempt to walk past him when Taehyung put his hand out, grabbing my waist.

"Lalisa, would you like to step on glass? Or worse, a spider possibly?"

I rolled my eyes playfully. "Alright Dad!" I walked out to my collection of various house shoes. I picked up a random pair before stuffing my feet inside of them.

"Good enough." Taehyung shook his head with laugh.

•••

I'm serious honey, we'll all go on a family vacation soon enough, but the honeymoon is reserved for only your father and I," mom said as dad hooked his arm around her waist.

It wasn't long until they were leaving. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes? They were going on a cruise to Hawaii for two weeks.

Leaving just Taehyung and I alone.

It was weird to not have Mom under the same roof as me for longer than a week, but I'll manage. As long as someone is here.

"Oh, our driver is here earlier than expected! Bye Taetae. Bye Lisa baby!" Mom and Dad bid their goodbyes before leaving.

I turned to Taehyung with a smug look on my face, "Taetae?"

Taehyung shot me the same look, "Lisa baby?"

"Nice nickname, dork." I laughed at him, ignoring the tiny butterfly present in my stomach.

"Yours sounds like it's meant for a 2 year old throwing a tantrum," Taehyung paused, "or a dog, a really chubby dog,"

I placed my hand over my chest, "so you're calling me fat!?" I gasped.

"The word is chubby."

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, you win."

I started to walk back towards the house.

Taehyung quickly caught up to me, stuffing his large hands into his pockets. "How's your neck?"

I cautiously touched it. "Still a little sore,"

"Maybe you had a muscle spasm? Maybe a cramp? I heard those happen if you fall asleep too fast," Taehyung looked at the ground as he spoke.

I got a bit nervous, I didn't know that could even happen. "There's a such thing as falling asleep t-too fast?"

Taehyung quickly nodded, I looked down as I got lost in thought.

"Anyways! Why don't we go back inside? It's getting a bit chilly." Taehyung said, looking up at the sky.

I nodded slowly, still looking at the ground. I already miss her.

I kicked my house shoes off before picking them up.

If this were my old house, I wouldn't hesitate to  collapse on the couch. Although it technically was my house. I didn't.
