Happy Family
X1 12th Member AU:
Summary: Jaein makes a nice meal for her boys and she realizes just how much she loves her new family.
A/N: It just snowed like crazy for the last two days, so we’ve had snow days, meaning I was able to lay in bed and game and write more!
Requests are open, like literally, please send some in! and Feedback is really appreciated!
Jaein set the last of the bowls of soup down on the table just as the boys entered the dorm.
“Noona, they’re here,” Hyeongjun announced from the kitchen where he was getting the utensils.
“I see that Junnie,” Jaein chuckled. She smiled at the looks at confusion she received from each of the hyung line as they entered.
“Uh, Jaein-ah… what’s up?” Seungwoo asked as he walked over to the table.
“We helped Noona make a Dominican soup today,” Dongpyo stated as he brought over some napkins.
“Yeah. She says that it’s perfect for warming you up on cold days like today,” Minhee stated as he came from his room, with the rest of the younger kids.
“Though, I had to kick Dohyon out, since he kept eating everything,” Jaein stated as she pinched the maknae’s cheeks.
The maknae rubbed his cheeks and grumbled, causing the others to laugh.
“So what kind of soup is this?” Wooseok asked as he sat down, the others soon following suit, though some sat at the coffee table, seeing as their dinner table wasn’t large enough to fit all twelve of them.
“It’s called sancocho,” Jaein answered.
“It has pork, chicken, onions, and green squash. And you can eat it with rice, whether on the side or you can pour it in too. Right, Noona?” Eusang asked, looking at her for confirmation.
“Yep, that’s exactly right,” Jaein ruffled his hair.
“Oh, wow,” Jaein looked up and saw Yohan taking another spoonful of the soup, “This is really good!”
“I’m glad you like it,” Jaein beamed. She was slightly nervous of how they would take the soup, but released a sigh once she saw that everyone liked it.
“So, you used to eat this back in DR?” Seungyoun asked.
“Yeah, we eat it even on the hottest days, don’t ask why,” Jaein held up her hand at the questioning look from Junho, “And so, when I lived with B.A.P, I used to make this for them on the coldest days.”
“”Well, please make more of this,” Dohyon said, with a mouth full of chicken.
“There’s more in the pot after you finish that,” Jaein giggled. The maknae smiled, eyes disappearing.
“Oh, and make sure to give thanks to Dongpyo and Hyeongjun. They helped me make the soup,” Jaein side hugged the latter, who sat next to her.
“Yeah, I helped with the cutting of the squash.”
“He almost lost three of his fingers in the process,” Jaein reached for Hyeongjun’s hand and held it up for the rest to see. Three Frozen bandaids were on his fingers. He cringed at them remembering how Dohyon and Dongpyo laughed at the little Olafs.
“I like the bandaids,” Hangyul smiled at Hyeogjun.
“Of course you do,” Wooseok rolled his eyes, everyone laughing.
“We helped too, ya know?” Minhee pouted.
“Actually, only Hyeongjun and Dongpyo helped, the others got bored and went to do their own thing,” Jaein shrugged, eating some of the pork.
“Hey, we helped at first, but… yeah you’re right we got bored,” the fight leaving Minhee.
“Well, it’s really good. Thank you,” their leader said smiling his signature smile.
“Yeah, it’s really good! I could definitely go for more,” Yohan laughed. A growl was heard from the end of the table.
“Don’t worry Dohyonnie, I made enough for everyone to have seconds, and even thirds for you,” Jaein chuckled, not even looking up.
“At this rate, he’ll eat this place dry,” Seungyoun laughed, hugging the maknae.
“As if he hasn’t already done that before,” Wooseok simply stated.
“He’s a growing boy. Leave him be,” Jaein protested.
“Noona, are we gonna have the cookies later tonight?” Junho asked looking up at her with a small smile.
Jaein returned the smile and nodded.
“Wait, you made cookies too?” Hangyul asked.
“Yeah, the dorm was already clean, so I may have overcooked to keep me occupied,” Jaein stated sheepishly, squinting up at the crack in the corner of the ceiling, making everyone laugh.
“Geez, you’re the best when you’re bored,” Yohan clapped his hands.
“Uh, yeah. Sure…. I’m gonna be honest, I’m not sure if that was a compliment or not,” Jaein slowly nodded her head, “But, thanks?”
“Do meals like this make you think of home?” Eusang asked, looking over at Jaein.
“Yes. But so do small and weird things,” Jaein shrugged.
“Like what?” Hyeongjun asked.
“Hmm, well that cute cafe over at the corner of the street. They sell a mixture of things, from Korean pastries to western pastries,” Jaein smiled, “Back in DR, my aunt owned a little cafe that also sold similar things. I used to spend hours in there doing homework, talking to the regulars, or just helping out.”
“Do you miss it?” Minhee asked turning to her, seeing a bitter smile.
“Yeah, but who doesn’t miss home, ya know?”
Everyone quieted down after that statement. Jaein felt bad for bringing down the mood. She knows that everyone else must miss their homes too, especially the younger ones.
“Of course we all miss our homes. But we have a new family now.”
Everyone turned to the maknae, the one who never voiced these types of emotions. Jaein felt a smile spread across her lips.
“I’m gonna cry!” Seungyoun shouted as he launched himself at the boy.
“Hyung! No-” Dohyon was tackled to the ground with the older on top of him.
“Yah! You’ll kill him!” Seungwoo went to grab Seungyoun and pull him off. Within seconds said boy was off the younger and sitting next him disoriented.
“I hate how strong you are. You don’t even look like you should be that strong!” The second oldest pouted.
“Well, Hyung is known for playing everyone,” Dongpyo stated, laughing.
“What do you mean?” Seungwoo looked offended.
“You’re supposedly not a rapper,” Jaein stated.
“But you are,” Wooseok added.
“You’re supposedly quiet and normal,” Jaein continued.
“But you’re not,” Wooseok stated, as he finished his bowl.
“I feel so attacked right now,” Seungwoo crossed his arms like a big child.
“Oh, calm down,” Minhee sassed.
“Yeah, we love you, and thanks to Alice, Oneits know what to expect from you as time goes on,” Jaein laughed. She watched as a smile spread on the leader’s face at the mention of Victon’s fandom. Then a softer smile appeared.
“You’re right, Dohyon,” the eldest turned to the youngest, “We really are a family.”
“So sappy!” Yohan squirmed.
Jaein laughed alongside everyone else. She really did miss home, but like the youngest said, this was her new family, and wow, did she love them.
