It All Started With A Game (Shownu x Reader)

Chapter 4

A kiss on my cheek stopped me from blabbering nonsense to look at my side, he.... he just kissed my precious cheek! My face burns like wildfire, weird right? Hey! If you're thinking it's Kihyun, you're way wrong! I didn't expect him to kiss my cheek, it's HIM of all people in here.

The leader just kissed my cheek. I know it's not actually a big deal because it's my cheek BUT!! It's still a kiss! Papa wouldn't let ANYONE lay a kiss or even lay a finger on my cheeks.

Oh god, I can't believe I'm having a mental breakdown all because of Shownu plant a small kiss on my cheek. I should play it calm, right? I shouldn't let my father know about this or he'll banned me from hanging out with my bestfriend.

Yeah, I think that's the best option. Just play it cool. Play it cool.

I turned my whole body back straight and just stare at nothing while eating the pizza. I could feel all their eyes on me.

"yah...gwenchana?", I could hear Jooheon asking me from my one side. Then Minhyuk sat infront of me on the ground, he tugged my arm, "uri pet? Are you okay?". I stare at him and slowly formed a smile, "of course I'm okay! It's just on the cheek, I'll just hope papa wouldn't know".

Minhyuk got up and quickly hugged me, "yah, you made me worried! I nearly thought your soul flew away". I shook my head in disbelief, "pabo, something like that won't take my soul away".

"geez, for a while I thought we lost you, pet", Wonho sighed as he placed his chin on his palm for support while staring at the both of us.

"okay, I think that's enough of hugging Minhyuk-ah", Kihyun pulled him away from me. "o!.... Minhyuk-ii", I said while pointing at his shirt.

Everyone laughed out loud when they saw what was on his shirt. He didn't realize that he hugged the pizza too as he hugged me and now the pizza is literally sticking onto his shirt. "uwaa!! My cloth is dirty!", Minhyuk jumped around with a grimace look on his face. "hyung, you shouldn't do that or you'll end up", I.M's words stopped for a second when the pizza fell from his shirt to the ground, "..dropping the pizza".

I got up from my seat, "I'll clean it up, Minhyuk-ii, you should go change". "aniya!", Kihyun's yell stopped me, "you've done loads enough to help us, we'll do it", he pushed me to just seat down next to I.M. I blinked my eyes for a few times before nodding in the end, "....okay", then I peek to look at I.M's face, "hai!". I.M looked at me and nodded, "hey".

"you know....you shouldn't ignore Shownu-hyung like that", he said with a small voice causing me to look at him with a wondering look. "what are you talking about? I'm not even ignoring him", I asked while blinking my eyes two to three times before shifting my gaze to Shownu who was still standing where he was a while ago.

Was I too harsh?

I sighed and got up from my seat to grab Shownu's arm. "Shownu-yah", I called so he would look at me and when he did I smiled and asked, "does your throat feel okay?". Shownu just nodded. I guess he's upset, but why though?

"are you angry at me for ignoring you?", I asked even further while taking a step closer to him. His eyes widened, "a-ani...I'm not angry at you... I'm not angry at all!", he tried to brighten up the mood with his cute smile and that made me smile in return.

I wrapped my arms around him and smiled, "good! I was worried you were gonna hate me and wouldn't forgive me, Changkyun-ii said that I sorta made you mad because he said I was ignoring you". He froze inside my hug. "pet, I didn't said that you made him mad", I.M protested.

Releasing my arm from around him, I blinked my eyes while tilting my head, "but Changkyun-ii, I read your mind and you said that you were scared if he was angry". I.M looked at me in a shock manner. Then I smiled, "I was joking~".

Then the door to the dorm went open revealing the manager, my papa.

"I heard you all ate Pizza for lunch", he said with dissatisfaction. Shownu ushered me to explain to their manager which I gladly followed as I skipped over to papa with a cute grin of mine, "papa~", I hugged his arm, "actually I was the one who ate the pizza for lunch, I just forced the boys to finish".

"but dear, they are on a diet", papa looked at me. I pouted, "..I'm sorry", I apologized with a small sad look and papa noticed. "aigoo...", he ruffled my upper hair, "now don't sulk on me, you know you are much more important to me than my career".  I look up with a small pout. "okay ok~ I forgive you and.... for the others........ you need to go exercising tonight", he announced which everyone groaned except for Shownu who was smiling in delight.

He really loves working out isn't he?

"dear? I thought your bestfriends are Jooheon and Minhyuk? Why are you hanging out with Shownu and I.M?", papa asked all off a sudden making me break my thoughts to look at him in confusion. "Jooheon-ii and Minhyuk-ii ARE my bestfriend, Shownu-yah and Changkyun are my friend... is it wrong to hang out with them?", I asked while tilting my head to one side.

Papa shook his head, "I just hope it won't be a harem". I look at him in disbelief, "papa, do you think I am capable of doing that? They are my friends~ nothing more and nothing less", I cheered with a grin.

"are you sure you don't have any interest in any of them? Even the slightest?", he asked even further making me gawked in disbelief but I didn't answered because I had doubtful thoughts.

I thought back about what papa said. I don't really understand what my true feelings are. My gaze went upon Shownu who had his eyes on me for a long time. Why the heck is he staring at me?

Tilting my head to the side while looking at him, he quickly looked away and had red small hues on both his cheeks. So cute.

"dear?", papa interrupted my thoughts which made me turn my head to look at him. "ne?". "hmm.....", he made a speculating expression as he eyed me with narrowed eyes. "what?". "it seems as though you do have someone in mind", he completed.

"m-mwo!?", my face went pink instantly at the thought of that. "ah... I am right........... nugu?", he asked again which made me look away. "appa, don't make your own assumption", I pouted lightly which earned a light pinch on my precious cheek. "I'll find out soon, I would want him to be the best for you so choose wisely", he smiled at me before he looked at the boys.

"again, take care of my daughter while I'm away AND don't forget the night shift", he reminded while ruffling my upper hair before walking out from the dorm's door.

Juheon sighed out loud before staring at me, "yah, you like one of us?". My jaw dropped, "what the heck are you talking about?? I like aaalllll of you guys! You guys are my friends after all", I said while flapping my hand, not knowing why though.

Minhyuk chuckled as he went to my side with a different t-shirt, he placed his arm around my neck and said, "she loves all of us and that's a fact.... ALSO, we love her a lot too! And don't you deny Jooheon-ii! I know you love her too!", he grinned widely while pointing his finger at him with his other free arm.

Jooheon clicked his tongue in annoyance before he also SUDDENLY wrapped his one arm around my neck, "keurocchi!(that's right!) I would never hate the pet of our family~".
