Sai visiting the triplets' apartment after finals ended and they play Cards Against Humanity with booze ‐🍊

When the triplets became old enough to drink, Sai had been the one to introduce them to alcohol. Sure their parents had given them all half a cup of wine and beer to try but Sai had been the one to really introduce them to the hard stuff. She had even introduced Saya and Saki to it before they were old enough to drink. She knew they were going to parties in high school, and she wanted to be there with them as they tried it for the first time and found out their limits. Sure Sai would always see her sisters as babies, but it was nice to have them as her drinking buddies. Especially Saya and Saki, Sae had little to no tolerance. If Mina, Sana, and Tzuyu knew about it they never intervened. Sai may sound like a bad influence, but she always kept their safety in mind. She would always look out for the little sisters. No matter what.

Sai had graduated college by the time her sisters were in it. But she knew how stressful it was, and on breaks from her schedule she would go visit them. Especially right after finals. She had texted Sae to say she was coming over, but when she showed up the triplets were all still a bit surprised.

“Unnie? Is that beer?” Saya asked as she saw a six pack of beer in her sister's hand.

“You know it is.” Sai giggled. “Now let me in, it’s cold.” Saya stepped to the side and Sai came in, setting the beer down on the kitchen table. 

“Hey Unnie.” Saki was on the couch flipping through the channels. “Hey Sak.” Sai smiled at her little sister.

“You know I’ve never understood that nickname. Saki only has one more syllable-”

“I’ve been calling you that since you were seven, don’t try to overanalyze it now.” Sai rolled her eyes, throwing Saki a beer. “Where’s Sae?” 

“Shower.” Saya informed as she came into the living room, grabbing a can of beer and opening it. “She was out with Dae.” 

“Oh really?” “Yeah but he had to go home to babysit Haeun.” Saki explained. “Anyway, what did you have in mind for tonight?” “Well I was thinking maybe we could play cards.” Sai put the bag she was carrying on her shoulder down. “I brought cards against humanity.” “Cards against humanity and booze?” Saya asked. “Have I ever told you you're the best sister ever?” 

“No never. You have never been nice to me once.” Sai rolled her eyes as she pulled the box of cards out. “And after I’ve always been so generous to you.” “This is the first nice thing you’ve done in like a year.” Saya nodded, pulling out the black cards and setting them aside. 

“Hey I’ve done tons of nice stuff for you throughout your entire life you ungrateful brat.” Sai nudged her sister's side. “Anyway, we can’t start until Sae is ready.” “I know.” Saya nodded. “I’m just shuffling the cards.” “Go ahead.” Sai took a can of beer and opened it. “How was finals?” “Tiring, but it’s over now.” Saki moved to a better spot on the couch to play the game. “How’s idol life?” “It has its ups and downs.” Sai nodded. “I did a shoot with mom and Nico, it was some kind of generational feature for a magazine or something. That was fun. I was worried because she was so excited in the car, but when we got there she was super professional.” “Mom’s had her doing modeling jobs since she was born.” Saki shrugged. “Unlike the rest of us apparently it’s okay if Nico does it.” “Well I think it’s more that Nico wants to do it. I did a shoot with mom once when I was three and mom said I had a huge diva meltdown, and I’m sure she thought all three of you at once would be a lot.” Sai explained. “I get where she’s coming from, Nico is the most mellow of us as a toddler.” “I suppose. Sae was pretty mellow though right?” “Sae was afraid of everything.” Sai scoffed. “The first time mom took you guys to one of her shoots Sae started crying because of the flashing lights.” “Really?” Saya laughed at the thought.

“Yeah. Plus any time moms had you guys do family photoshoots just for us you were always the worst. Saya you could never stay still, Sae would usually start crying, and Saki you just followed Sae and Saya.” Sai laughed at the memory. “I don’t remember much, I was only five at the time. But I did remember you guys causing lots of headaches. Mama says I did too, but Nico is the most mellow of us all. The girl couldn’t be a headache if she tried.” “She is pretty sweet.” Saki laughed. 

“Oh she can be a headache.” Saya groaned, taking another sip of beer. “At least she can be to me. She’s locked me out of the house twice, taken my keys because she thought they were a toy, and much much more.” “Yeah but you signed yourself up for that. Your the one who acts like you hate her the most, of course she’s going to torture you.” Sai commented. “It’s payback for being such a bitch Saya.” “Shut up.” Saya rolled her eyes. “I was fifteen.” “You still act like it, Saya.” Saki laughed at her fellow triplet. She turned when she heard the water for the shower turn off. “It sounds like Sae is done.” “Oh finally. I see princess Sae still showers forever.” Sai mentioned, taking another sip of beer and starting to deal out white cards face down. “Yeah, I’ve tried to start cutting her down to forty five minutes or less. She steals all the hot water.” Saya whined.

“You take like ten minute showers at the most.” Saki rolled her eyes. “You are largely unaffected by Sae’s showers.” “Well I like them short and sweet.” Saya retorted. “It’s better than Sae’s bathes that she takes at four am.” “Sae takes baths at four am?” Sai asked, clearly confused. “She says it’s for when her period hits her at night. Apparently the hot water helps.” Saki shrugged. “Makes sense.” Sai nodded, finishing dealing out the cards. “Did you see the new video of Nic mom posted on tik tok?” “Which one?” Saki asked, picking up her cards and glancing at them.

“The dance one.” Sai explained.  

“Honestly, it’s crazy my four year old sister has a better social media presence than I do.” Saya rolled her eyes. “How many followers does she have?” “Just a bit less than Saki.” Sai picked up her cards too. “So I guess she’s third overall in follower count.” “And she’s four years old.” Saya rolled her eyes. “Well mom manages it. She’s been working in the entertainment industry since she was fourteen, she knows the ins and outs pretty well.” Sai took a sip of beer with one hand as she studied her cards. “Plus Nico has been all over youtube and tik tok since before she was born. We were posting videos before she was even born.” “Yeah…” Saya sighed in relief when they heard the lock to the bathroom door click. Sae stepped out, already in her pajamas and drying her hair with a towel, with a sheet mask on her face.

“Unnie! You're here!” Sae smiled as she saw Sai. “Yup, we were waiting on you princess.” Sai had started calling Sae princess when she was two. Even though Sae had tried to tell her sister she outgrew the nickname Sai was never going to let it go, just like she would never let go of calling her sisters the babies. “Oh sorry.” Sae apologized, stepping further into the living room. “Beer and cards?” “Yup.” Sai nodded. “You're up first, I dealt the cards.” Sai explained as Sae sat down. 

“Sure.” Sae nodded. 

“How was your date?” Sae blushed faintly, the masked hiding her face as she flipped over a black card.

“Fun. We went to a movie.” Sae said, watching as each of her sisters put cards forward. She couldn’t keep a straight face as she read their answers. She eventually picked the most stupid one, the point going to Saki. 

“Movie date? Lame.” Sai laughed at Sae as Saya slipped a card over.

“I know right? They are so vanilla.” Saya agreed. 

“Hey movie dates are good.” Sae pouted, looking over her cards to pick a good one. “Saki back me up.” “I mean, did you at least make out in the bathroom?” Saki asked. “No!”

“Your nineteen Sae, you went on the same dates when you were sixteen.” Sai rolled her eyes as Saya gave the point to Sae. “Live a little.” “Don’t encourage reckless behaviour Unnie. You're the one who’s protective over me.” Saki flipped over a black card.

“Yeah well movie dates are just a little lame. It’s not the nineteen thirties. At least make out in the bathroom or something. No sex, but making out is fine.” Sai nodded. “You tell me if he’s acting up though, I’ll kick his ass.” Saki gave the point to Sai. They had played the game many times together since the triplets had moved out, so they were comfortable carrying a conversation while they played. They had always had that comfortable relationship together. As sisters they had always been fairly close, and they were all comfortable around each other. 

“I know Unnie…” And Sae wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Ties That Bind

Chapter 13: A Fine Day

When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen. -A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

So even the sexual fantasies of fifteen year old adolescent boys are finite, Claire reflected as they managed to clamber out of bed at a reasonable time the following morning.

“Do ye have any hikin’ boots wi’ ye, Sassenach?” Jamie asked as his head emerged from the neck of his shirt. “It’s a bonnie day and I’d like tae take ye for a walk.”

“I’ve some walking trainers in the car. Will they do or will I need full mountaineering gear? I reckon you’ve climbed a few mountains in your time.”

“Aye, I’ve bagged some Munroes, but no for a good while. Nah, the walk willna be too difficult, I’ll keep it easy fer a city slicker like yerself.” Jamie joked and headed out of the door.

Claire made her way downstairs to the kitchen, where she found Jamie with his arms wrapped tightly around a small white-haired woman. He kissed her cheek and let her go as she reached up, practically on tiptoes, and gently ruffled his red curls.

“Claire, you’ve no’ met yet, but this is Mrs. Crook. She runs this whole hoose and keeps Da and Murtagh under control, which is no’ easy. Mrs. C, this is Claire, ma girlfriend.”

Claire looked at Jamie, taken aback. In her head, she had practiced introducing Jamie as her boyfriend or partner or significant other but hadn’t plucked up the courage to broach that topic.

Jamie felt himself blush slightly. He wondered if that had been an error in judgement and that Claire would think it was too soon to attach these labels on their relationship. But, in truth, he thought of her as his girlfriend and wanted everyone to know. Besides, him having a girlfriend would make Mrs. Crook happy. He knew she worried about him being alone. Jamie returned Claire’s gaze and visibly relaxed as she smiled warmly at him.

“Hello, Mrs. Crook. It’s lovely to meet you, I’ve heard so much about you. And thank you for the delicious food. I can’t remember when I last ate so much or so well.”

“Och, look at ye. There’s nothin’ o’ ye. Ye come and stay here fer longer and I’ll feed ye proper. Tell ye what, I’ll gi’e ye some casseroles and the like from the freezer tae take hame wi’ ye. Jamie always heads back doon the road wi’ a car full.” Mrs. Crook leaned closer to Claire conspiratorially. “He’s no’ too good at cooking, ye ken. I remember when he tried tae…”

“Ah, Mrs. C, dinna be telling Claire all me secrets. We dinna want her tae go off me now, do we? Claire and I are goin’ fer a walk over at Loch Raibhachain. Have ye anything we can take fer our lunch and mebbe a wee snack or two?”

Mrs. Crook moved over to the fridge and looked inside. “Weel, there’s ham and cheese, chicken, fresh bannocks, grapes, tomatoes, a nice bit o’ chutney, pork pie, leftover sausage, apple pie...”

She stood back from the fridge and tutted. “I wish ye’d told me ye were after a picnic. I’d have got some stuff in fer ye.”

******

With the picnic safely packed in Jamie’s rucksack together with a tartan blanket, thermos of coffee and hip flask of whisky, Jamie and Claire set off for the Loch. Claire had tied her hair back tightly with no stray curls escaping, so she allowed Jamie to open the roof of the car.

The noise of the car and wind meant that talking wasn’t really an option. Neither Jamie or Claire minded. Claire rummaged in her bag and pulled out her phone. Looking around, she started to take photos of the landscape.

Jamie focussed on the road and thought about what he had nearly said the day before. He had almost told Claire that he loved her but changed his mind at the last minute. Now whilst he had no doubt that he did love her, he was unsure when to make that first declaration. He came from a family where love, affection and other, not so agreeable, emotions were freely expressed. Claire had never had that level of openness, always being more guarded with her feelings. Jamie would hate to make her uncomfortable or for her to feel obliged to respond in kind (although he doubted that would happen, as honesty was very important to Claire). He hoped he would know instinctively the right time to tell her.

Besides, he thought, smiling to himself, he really didn’t want his first statement of love to be uttered in the same breath as a fantasy about sex over a whisky barrel.

Claire caught his smile, reached over and stroked his thigh.

******

As Jamie led the way on the small path through clumps of gorse and heather, Claire tailed behind him. There were certain perks to following him, Claire thought as she admired his body from the rear. It was such a warm day, both of them had made the decision to wear shorts. Jamie’s legs were strong and muscular, dusted with red gold hairs. She loved to run her hands up those solid thighs. Perhaps that was an activity for post picnic time, a little reward for all this exercise.

With his long strides and seemingly limitless energy, Claire found herself slightly out of breath trying to keep up with his pace. She pretended to stop to admire the scenery. It was a  beautiful sunny day, the clear blue sky made the green hills all round them even more spectacular. There was nobody else in sight. It was as if they were the only two people on this path, on this hill.

Jamie realised she was no longer following him, turned around and sauntered back to her.

“Have I worn ye oot already, Sassenach?” He asked with a small smile of victory.

“Not at all, I was just admiring the view.”

“Ye’ve a glass face, Sassenach. I can tell when ye’re no tellin’ the truth. Would ye like tae stop here for a bite tae eat?”

Relieved, Claire sank to the ground. Jamie rummaged in his rucksack, unfolded the tartan blanket, placed it neatly on the ground and proceeded to unpack the provisions from Mrs. Crook. Packet after packet of delicious food emerged from the rucksack, enough for at least five people.

They ate enthusiastically until, with very full stomachs, they lay companionably side by side on the blanket, hands behind their heads.

“I think you’ll have to roll me down to the car, the amount I’ve just eaten.”

Jamie crunched an apple. “Aye, Mrs. Crook does spoil us all. And since her husband died and wi’ her only daughter living in Canada, it gi’es her a purpose, looking after us.”

Claire rolled onto her side to look at Jamie. “Do you mean the only thing giving her purpose in life is looking after men? Does that apply to all women or only ones that tend to you and your family?”

“Nah, Sassenach, that’s no’ what I meant at all. I dinna think that of ye and I wouldna expect it from any woman. But, ye ken, Mrs. Crook is from a different generation. Ye were trained as a doctor and that’s what ye always wanted tae be. Take that away and ye’d be cast adrift. Weel, it’s the same wi’ Mrs. Crook. She wanted tae be a wife and mother, wanted tae be needed. And isna that what we all really want?”

Claire placed her hand on Jamie’s chest. “I need you.”

Jamie leaned over and kissed her. “Aye, ye do, if only tae carry the rucksack. Come on, I’ve a wee place tae show ye. We can rest a while there.”

Reluctantly Claire got to her feet. She would have been satisfied lying there in the warm sunshine all afternoon. But Jamie appeared eager to show her this place. They continued further up into the hills. Jamie made a real effort to slow his pace down and tried to match her stride length. As they walked through a crevice in the rocks around them, Claire was entranced to find that they were suddenly at the head of a tiny glen, a stream running the length of it into a tranquil pool surrounded by rocks and boulders, before continuing its journey towards the loch.

“Here we are!” Jamie exclaimed triumphantly, arms outstretched, presenting the scene. “This was always a favourite place for me and ma family. We’d come up here, Da leading the way wi’ the picnic, Jenny and I at the back moanin’ aboot our legs achin’ and Mam in the middle encouragin’ us on. But ‘twas worth it when we got here. If it was warm enough, Jenny and I would go swimming doon there. Then, we’d come oot all blue and shiverin’ and Mam’d wrap us in towels and gi’e us hot chocolate and fruit cake.”

They made their way down to the pool. Jamie sat on a rock at the water’s edge. Claire joined him there.

“And Da,” Jamie continued his reminiscences. “Da would teach us how tae guddle fish. Jenny didna have the patience, but I got it jes’ fine.”

Jamie moved to lie on his stomach, his hand still in the water.  

Seeing the look of incomprehension on Claire’s face, he explained. “It’s an old Scottish skill, tae catch fish with yer bare hands. Ye have tae be very quiet and patient and wait for a fish tae come tae yer fingers, then ye can tickle its belly and grab it quickly. Shhh, now.”

Claire dared not move, scarcely breathing in case she made a noise to disturb the fish. Jamie lay still, the tip of his tongue peeping out from his lips in concentration. A slight movement on the surface of the water told her that he was lightly moving his fingers. She moved, her head now close to the water, as he shifted, ready for action.

There was a sudden frantic movement as Jamie splashed, soaking Claire with icy water. Instinctively she screamed.

Jamie rolled onto his back, laughing.

“Christ, yer face…” He snorted. “I’m sorry, Sassenach, I couldna help it. Ye were there sae close and my hand jes’ wanted tae splash ye.”

Claire wiped her damp curls off her face. “So, where’s the fish? Has it been scared off?”

“What fish?”

“The fish you were guddling - is that the word you used?”

“Sassenach, there wasna a fish. I dinna ken how tae guddle, neither does Da. I jes’ wanted tae play a wee trick.”

“Oh, you did, did you? Well, you’ll get what you deserve!”

Claire leaned towards the water, prepared to retaliate. Jamie quickly captured her arms and pulled her on top of him. He lifted his head to kiss her as she turned her head away in mock disgust. His kiss landed on her ear.

“You. Are. A. Brute.” She said crisply.

“Aye, I ken. And I’m sorry, truly. But yer face was a picture. Am I forgiven?”

Claire turned her face to his and gently kissed his lips. “I suppose so.”

Jamie wrapped his arms tighter round Claire’s back. “Claire,” he paused for a moment before diving in. “I love you.”

Claire pulled her head back and stared into his deep blue eyes. She knew that he spoke the truth, he did love her. The barriers around her heart - built up piece by piece, her parents’ deaths, the loss of Uncle Lamb, Frank’s betrayals - began to shatter.

“Jamie…” Claire whispered hesitantly. “I…I love you too.”

Secrets We Keep Chapter 37 Gellis' Decision

"Gellis is coming by today. She has made a decision."

"About what?" He looks up from the fire safety manual he has been studying. He will be training new recruits.

"Rue."

"I thought she had already decided to be a dom." He is distracted by her feet she has placed in his lap as she stretches out on the sofa. He starts to rub them.

"Ohhh that is nice." She had just came off a 12 hour shift. "I thought she did too."

"Hmmm." He presses harder on heel and she moans deeply. "When will she be here?" He asks as she presses her other foot against his growing erection.

"A half hour or so."

"That is enough time." He moves up her body.

They are just getting their clothing rearranged when Gellis breezes in. She looks at them and shakes her head. "Ye two f*ck like rabbits."

"Nice to see ye too Gellis." Jamie says with a chuckle.

"Ahh wee fox, just teasing. I am glad Claire is finally getting good loving."

"Me too." Claire sits completely up and tries to re-tighten her fallen bun.

"Tis a lost cause love." Jamie says and slips the holder out freeing her wild curles."Better." He is satisfied.

"It will do. What did you wish to tell us Gel?"

"I will tell ye and let you get back to what ye will doing. Weel, I've decided to get a female sub."

"Wot?"

"Ye seem to have got the last good remaining lad sae I thought I would try a lass."

"But, you aren't a lesbian," a pause," are you?"

"Claire, dinna ye tell me these relationships aren't about sex, or not exclusively?"

"I did but some sex is usually involved."

"I ken that weel. I think I will try controlling a lass first."

"Is this about that bastard Dougal?" Jamie asks.

"Partly. And I willna deny it. But, also about me exploring different aspects of myself."

"Well, I can't fault you that." Claire says. "If this is what you want to do. And you don't have to go to a party to find her."

"Really?"

"Yes. Let me," she gets up and walks toward her room." Here. It is the address to a secure site. Put your preference in, any limits and/or must haves and the system will match you."

"Ah perfect. I dinna wish to go to a party in case he is there."

"He is staying in the lifestyle, then?"

"Aye Jamie. As far as I ken."

"Iffrin!"

"My feelings. I will let you get back to shagging."

"Har har Gel. Let me know when you find her."

"I will. Thank ye."

"Claire," she sits staring off into space after Gel leaves.

"Sorry. What?"

"Couple of questions. Are ye okay with what Gellis is doing? And, if ye had such a site, why were ye at the party?"

"Ye mean the party were we meet?"

"Aye."

"I was going to go to the site but something was urging me to go to the party. I believe we were destined to meet. As for Gel, I am. I want her happy. If this makes her happy, then I am happy. Just a bit shocked. Never saw that in her."

"Weel, I doubt she saw Healer in ye. Would ye like me to cook?"

"Yes. Thank you Jamie." He left her still lost in thought.

*KINDA NSFW IDK??

***

Yoosung

“Boys at this age have their hormones everywhere, there’s no way he’s just going to understand”

“Why don’t you try it before saying you’re not interested? You won’t know unless you try

Sigh

You were terrified of telling your boyfriend that you were ace

What if he didn’t get it- hell, most people didn’t

Or worse…what if he didn’t accept it?

When you told him that you needed to talk to him about something serious, he was the one who freaked out

You sat him down, and told him everything

How you always felt different from others, how sex wasn’t something you were interested in and probably would never be

He blinked at you a few times before responding

“Does that mean…you’re not attracted to me?”

“No! I am! I just…I don’t feel the desire to have sex, that’s all…”

“Oh, thank God,” He breathed, pulling you in for a hug, “I thought you were going to break up with me.”

“Wait, so your’re…okay with it?”

“As long as you’re okay with it, MC, there’s nothing for me to be worried about.”

Zen

“Maybe this Zen guy she’s dating will teach them a thing or two.”

“Yeah, they just need to be dicked down to know what they’re missing.”

Dicked…down?

Your friends were always in denial ever since you had told them about your orientation, saying it wasn’t real

“Sex is in the human DNA, MC.”

Uh, sure. Call me an alien then

And Zen…

He always talked about ‘The Beast’

How all men were wolves, animals

How could he possibly understand how you felt? How could he accept you like this?

He’d probably think I’m lying to get out of doing it with him, you tortured yourself with these thoughts

He hadn’t really initiated anything before, but as your relationship progressed, you felt as if you should tell him

“Maybe The Beast doesn’t have to be sex, it could be a tickle attack.” Was the fist thing he said after you told him

“What about, ‘All men are wolves’”

“MC…look at this God-given face. Do I look like ‘all men’?” He winked

Jaehee

Before you two started dating, she would always fangirl to you about Zen or some Kpop idol she liked

“Oh my…MC, doesn’t he make you feel some type of way?”

And honest to God, you could not relate

You watched as she visibly got fired up when talking about them, and wondered if you’d ever feel the same

“Oh! They’re into girls, no wonder they didn’t feel any sexual attraction to guys before!” was all you heard after you introduced Jaehee as your girlfriend

But you still didn’t feel the Attraction™ everyone seemed to feel

As you two got closer, so did you bodies

She seemed so eager to take things to the next level…

What if she didn’t want to be with someone who couldn’t please her like this? What if she misunderstood it and thought you weren’t attracted to her because she was a woman?

You loved her so much, you didn’t want to hurt her

But you couldn’t keep on doing things that made you uncomfortable

“MC, I can’t say that I understand, because I’ve never been in your position before, but of course I accept it. You don’t have to do anything you’re not comfortable with.”

Jumin

“If I see the tiniest bit of opening, I’ll own you completely.”

“Don’t entice me, MC, or I’ll lose control.”

These things Jumin said swirled around your head often

It hadn’t been long since you two started dating, but he seemed to really want you like that, saying so with words, actions and touch

You were worried, you were so worried about coming out to him

“A man like that will never be satisfied with someone who can’t give them that kind of pleasure.”

What if they were right? 

You procrastinated telling him until the last very moment, when he was on top of you and kissing yo hungrily, whispering those words again in your ear

“Wait…Jumin…I can’t do this.” You pushed him away lightly, sitting up and catching your breath

“Is something wrong? Did I hurt you?”

It’s not that you were repulsed by sex, or scared of it

You were scared of losing him because of it

“MC…Why are you crying?” He took your hand in his, concerned

You then explained everything to him, how you felt broken, that there was something wrong with you for not feeling the desire to have sex

And that you were afraid 

“What if I can’t give you what you need?”

He shook his head, bringing you close to his chest in a tight embrace, “The only  thing I need is your love and companionship, MC. I don’t care about the rest.”

You let out a sight or relief, “I love you.”

“I love you too, no matter what.”

Seven

“MC,” He poked you, “What’s on your mind?”

You could barely look him in the eye

How were you supposed to tell him?

You had gone through this because you wanted to see if it was true…If you were actually broken and needed to be fixed

In what way were you supposed to tell the man you loved that you didn’t feel any sexual attraction to him or to anyone, right after you had sex with him for the first time?

You were both facing each other, still naked and in bed

He was in the midst of telling you some story, maybe to easy the awkwardness between you two, but you weren’t listening

You felt awful

I should have told him before, he’ll think I hated it or he did something wrong

It wasn’t as if you hated what you two had done, or found it disgusting

You just…didn’t feel the desire to do it again

“Saeyoung…I’m sorry.”

“What’s wrong? Hey, talk to me.” He pulled you closer, stroking your hair

“I should have told you sooner, I…”

God, how could you ever find the words to explain this right now?

“MC, don’t tell me…did you…did you sleep with someone else?” He stiffened, his voice growing cold.

“No! God, no…” You hesitated, “It’s quite the opposite, actually…”

He visibly relaxed, “What do you mean?”

“I’m ace, Sae.”

He paused for a moment, before squeezing you against his chest, “You should have told me sooner! What we just did…I’m sorry, I should have made sure you-”

“No, its fine. You didn’t do anything wrong, and I don’t regret what we did. I just…I don’t know if I’ll want to do it again. I didn’t know how to tell you, I’m sorry.”

“I’m fine, I’m glad you told me now. I guess you could say you…’Aced’ it!”

“…”

“ :D “

V

Out of everyone, V would be the most understanding

You had always admired his open-mindedness, his calm demeanor when it came to understanding what was foreign to him

The only reason you were hesitant to tell him… was because of his ex girlfriend

Even before you two were together, you felt a constant comparison between you and the blonde

Even if the other members didn’t do it on purpose, they put Rika on a pedestal and, since you now filler her place as party coordinator, you felt a huge pressure on you

And dating V wasn’t any different 

You were constantly asking yourself if Rika would have done this, wouldn’t have done that…

Would Rika be able to fill his physical need? Even if she didn’t want to?

Probably, you thought, she’s nothing like me. She’s not broken like me

“MC…I love you now, not her. It hasn’t been her in a long time now.” He reassured you when you expressed your concern, “And you’re not broken because you don’t feel something.”

His words were so gentle, so soft that they immediately put you at easy

“Yes but…How can I know for sure if I’ve never tried?” You wondered, even though these words were not yours, they were put in your mouth by numerous people around you who didn’t understand

“Just like someone might know they like it even before trying it. Don’t let them feel abnormal, MC. You’re just as valid as the rest of them.”

Saeran

Honestly, he wasn’t that interested in sex to begin with

The only thing Saeran craved was love and affection, no matter what form in came in

And you knew that, you did

But your friends’ words would not leave your head, going on about how you both just needed time to discover yourselves

What if he had already discovered it, and was just waiting for you?

Oh God…you remembered how he had confined in you that he didn’t feel attractive, and that he was always insecure because all the other RFA members were really good-looking

What if he thought you were just making up this asexual nonsense to hide the fact that you weren’t attracted to him at all?

“Listen, Saeran…” You began, telling him everything

“MC, I think I…feel the same way. I’m still taking some time to discover myself, I’m really happy to know that I’m not making you miss you out on anything.”

You were so shocked he understood you so easily, and it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted from your shoulders

“As long as we can keep holding hands like this.”

GU HAI & BAI LUO YIN

《你丫上瘾了》

Chapter 193: The SELFLESS CITIZEN!

“You’re doing it all wrong. Look at me.”

Gu Hai stood up and facing the magnificent sea that surged forth against the delicate sands, he shouted loudly.

“My name is Gu Hai, male, 18 years old, from Beijing. The person sitting down beside me is my wife. Two days ago, last year, we fell in love with each other and made it official. It’s been a year already since our journey together started! Despite the ups and downs and the constant disasters thrown at us, we will not surrender or hesitate to advance bravely.”[1]

To his side, Bai Luo Yin watched as the plumes of Gu Hai’s breath billowed out and quickly dissipated into the air. The voice was unexpected. It was loud, with an agreeable trace of huskiness and a hint of more power than the once frail body could produce. Hearing it in such close proximity to him, Bai Luo Yin wanted to bury his entire being into the sand.

After divulging this supposed secret, a sense of relief also tugged at Gu Hai’s mind. A small smile drew back the corner of his lips as he looks down at Bai Luo Yin with provocation. “Do you dare?”

The underlying meaning to those three words were, ‘are you as bold as I am?’

“Why wouldn’t I dare to?” Bai Luo Yin also stood up and shouted loudly, “My name is Bai Luo Yin, male, 18 years old. My family lives in Beijing, Xicheng district on the most brilliant Lane 48. I am a third-year student studying at Beijing X High School, Class 27, who’s also a rather bad youth. Standing beside me is my wife. After enduring his shameless harassment, out of compassion for his mental state, I took pity and decided to marry him into my family. Since my father-in-law does not agree to us being together, this marriage has yet to be settled. But, I am wholeheartedly devoted to my wife’s love. Regardless of whether he will continue to have this mental illness or not, I will never betray or leave him in this lifetime!”

Gu Hai immediately started to laugh. The laugh was not only in his voice, but it also welled in his eyes, in the way his face changed into that vision of relaxed joy and unrestrained mirth. Yet, truly, it wasn’t only in his face either. His laugh came from within the core of his being.

You little bastard, you got me.

Never one to back down from a challenge, Gu Hai went on to shout, “Gu Wei Ting, I’m telling you, even if you send a whole army troop with thousands of men to hunt us down, I will still say those same words from before. If I firmly believe in someone, no one can even think of changing it! If I firmly believe in a relationship, no one can even think of tearing it apart! If I firmly believe in these feelings, no one can even think of destroying them!”

“Gu Wei Ting!......” Bai Luo Yin shouted those words but then he halted.

Raising his head, Gu Hai turned to look at him with great expectations.

“I fucked your son!”

Gu Hai ground his teeth as his big hand quickly reached out to pinch the back of Bai Luo Yin’s neck. Bai Luo Yin burst into a spell of smiles before laughter rang out from within his throat. The laugh came from him like a newly blossomed flower – timid at first then it grew a bit at a time. Gu Hai watched him attentively. The other boy wasn’t done yet though. He could tell, from the way Bai Luo Yin rolled his eyes back to the sky and half bit his lips. It was all too apparent, from deep inside his chest came a great shaking motion that caused his facial muscles to grow tight. Gu Hai’s brows rose, waiting.

In moments, Bai Luo Yin’s laugh was more like fully blossomed flower petals being thrown into the brilliant sky then falling around on everyone nearby with unrestrained gales that debilitated him to a stomach-gripping breathless picture of glee. Gu Hai wanted to maintain the sternness sheathing from his face—since after all he was the one being laughed at—but before long, his mouth twitched upwards and he too fell into a spell of laughter.

 “All these setbacks will not wear down our fighting spirit!”

 “No difficulties will stop our footsteps!”

 “We’ve joined together to oppose a common enemy!”

 “We will never waver!”

 The two shouted until all the oxygen in their lungs was nearly depleted.

All the people nearby practically walked away from them, leaving behind only a man who stayed firmly in his spot. The two simultaneously moved their gazes toward him.

The man merely looked at them and laughed inarticulately, “You two are really stupid!”

As a result, the two stupidly cute boys took this man and threw him into the sea.

Gu Hai took out a video camera that he had turned on before and showed Bai Luo Yin the video playback of what happened a moment ago.

 “You actually recorded it?”

 Gu Hai looked at him happily while saying, “Of course! This kind of mutual understanding is rare.”

 Bai Luo Yin stretched his head over for a look. The silhouettes of the two people on the screen were painted with exuberant youth and liveliness.

 “Say, when we look at this a few years from now, will we be terrified by ourselves?”

 “We won’t.”

 Gu Hai placed his hand firmly on Bai Luo Yin’s shoulder, “It’s rare to have a chance to be silly in life. To not be silly or make a mistake means to not have lived a youthful life.”

 The sea water rose, and the few tourists that were scattered around started to depart the area. Afterwards, Bai Luo Yin and Gu Hai found a restaurant and ate a great meal comprising of the most delicious seafood. On their way back, they bought a tent and two bed comforters to set up. They intended to spend the night on the beach so that they can watch the sunrise at dawn of the next day.

 In the evening, as usual, Bai Luo Yin gave Bai Han Qi a phone call, briefing him on their current situation as well as inquiring about any new circumstances at home.

 “Gu Hai’s father hasn’t gone over to look for you yet?” Bai Luo Yin asked.

 Gu Hai also moved in closer to listen.

 “No, he hasn’t. It has been unusually calm for the last two days. No one has come at all.”

 Bai Luo Yin did not feel at ease, “You’re lying to me, aren’t you?”

 “Why would I lie to you? Listen here, it’s really calm and peaceful in the house right now,” replied Bai Han Qi.

 Hearing those words, Bai Luo Yin was extremely puzzled.

According to logic, it shouldn’t be like that!

After putting the phone down, Bai Luo Yin faced Gu Hai and asked, “Do you think my dad is telling us the truth?”

“From the sound of it, it doesn’t seem like a lie.”

 Bai Luo Yin’s brows pulled close to each other forming a frown as he thought to himself.

What is Gu Wei Ting planning to do?

“That’s enough. Don’t think about it so hard. Let’s worry about it when it happens. Look, the sea breeze is really gentle tonight and the moon hanging high in the sky is quite luminous against the darkness. With such a beautiful scenery like this, there is no need for my wife to go and think about those troublesome matters. It is better to accompany your husband by being very romantic for a while.”

Hearing those nauseating words, Bai Luo Yin simply grabbed Gu Hai’s head and pressed it into the sand.

After working hard for half an hour, the tent was finally set up.

Being annoying as usual, Gu Hai pinched the smalls of Bai Luo Yin’s waist, “Come here, sit on me.”

Truth be told, being underneath Bai Luo Yin was Gu Hai’s most erogenous and preferred position. In this arrangement, not only could he reap some benefits by not having to do much, but he could also directly observe and enjoy Bai Luo Yin’s erotic expressions.

But, of course, this was also the posture that Bai Luo Yin despised the most. A while ago, Gu Hai had talked until his face turned blue in order to persuade Bai Luo Yin into giving it a try. From then on, he has been so fond of it that it was getting out of hand.

“That won’t do.” Bai Luo Yin refused his beckoning immediately, “The tent is not high enough. If I sit up, my head will hit the roof of the tent.”

Gu Hai was not willing to give up, “We can remove the tent!”

Once he finished saying that, he quickly went to untie the knot around the tent stake.

Noting this, Bai Luo Yin quickly took hold of Gu Hai’s hand, “You’re being fucking stupid again. Believe it or not, I’ll take advantage of the time you’re sleeping and throw you into the sea?”

“Even if we don’t take the tent apart, people will still know what we’re doing inside. Instead of letting them watch from the outside, we might as well let them see it directly. Not to mention, there’s no one here! It’s awkward having a tent covering us. Having the moon and stars in the sky above our head is a lot more romantic!”

Bai Luo Yin’s hand firmly gripped the frame beneath as he angrily said: “I want to go home.”

Gu Hai immediately admitted defeat, “Fine, fine, fine. We’re not going to do that. Just lay on me……”

The sounds of their bodies colliding against each other during sex consumed the tent while alluring gasps spread out and mingled with the breeze that whistled by. It was fast and slow, relaxed and tight, then soft and rough…...in the meantime, the balls of flames that radiated from their bodies rushed out wildly along the open flaps of the tent and traveled toward the surging waves. They crashed against the surf and were repelled back before settling calmly on the surface of the sea.

In the deep of the night, the two embraced each other tightly to sleep. Even though there was only one tent to cover them, they were still able to sleep soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still painted in a canvas of darkness when Bai Luo Yin awoke with errant excitement.

After he finished putting on his clothes, he grabbed the camera and made his way out of the tent with a small smile tugging the corners of his lips.

Meanwhile, Gu Hai slept very vigilantly. The moment he became aware that the space beside him was cold and empty, his eyes immediately shot open bringing him out of his slumber.

At this time of the day, dusk was slowly waning in the open sky and their surroundings were filled with cold fog. Gu Hai stepped on the soft sand and walked towards Bai Luo Yin one step at a time. Once close enough, he reached out and encircled his hands around Bai Luo Yin’s waist from the back. He tightened his hold just a bit, making sure the loving warmth from his body spread before he rested his chin on Bai Luo Yin’s shoulder.

“The sky is still dark...” Gu Hai’s lethargic voice drifted into Bai Luo Yin’s ears, tickling it.

“Who waits until daybreak to see the sunrise?”

Nuzzling closer, Gu Hai’s lips were now glued to Bai Luo Yin’s warm cheek. He rubbed against it for the longest time, feeling the soft and familiar skin.

“Quick, look!” Bai Luo Yin exclaimed as he pointed towards the vastness that spread in front of them.  

Gu Hai lifted his head and looked up. A streak of rosy red clouds emerged in the distance just above Bai Luo Yin’s finger. It slowly changed to a deeper shade as it dispersed across the horizon, creating a colorful glow in the sky. Soon, the sun rose halfway, causing the surrounding clouds to be engulfed in an array of scarlet hues. The sunlight gradually became brighter, blending the sky and the sea into one beautiful scenery meant only for them to view. A pleasant feeling of warmth draped their bodies to the point that their bones became soft and ridden with happiness…...

“Come, let’s take a picture.”

Gu Hai lifted the camera and placed it in front of their faces.

With their backs facing the sea and their heads resting upon the sunrise, they snuggled their faces close to each other. As they looked at the camera lens, mischievous smiles bloomed on their faces, exposing a secret, mutual understanding that only existed between them.

Once the photo was taken, they looked at it with curious eyes. Within seconds, Bai Luo Yin laughed joyfully as he glanced at Gu Hai.

“Why does it feel like a buddhist ceremony?”

“Have you ever seen such a handsome buddhist monk before?” Gu Hai proudly praised himself, “Later on, I’ll use it as my laptop’s wallpaper.”

It was from this day on that Gu Hai’s photo album had one more picture of his exuberant smile.

Not far from where Bai Luo Yin and Gu Hai were, was a pair of lovers being photographed in their wedding outfits. The bride had on a glamorous wedding dress as she stood atop a large reef posing in various postures while the groom shifted back and forth beside her. Just right below where they were standing, a photographer and a consultant touched base. They talked--their voices were inaudible--while moving their hands in all sorts of positions.

After watching them for a moment, Gu Hai thought of something and spoke.

“That woman looks really ugly. If she wasn’t wearing any makeup, what would she look like?!”

Glancing at Gu Hai, a seemingly annoyed Bai Luo Yin gave him a shove, “Why do you care what other people look like?!”

Seconds later, the two walked side by side towards their own tent.

Just as they finished tidying up their belongings and prepared to leave, they suddenly heard shouts reverberating not too far from where they were. Curious, their eyes followed the source of the commotion. They discovered a crowd of people swarming the area where the couple were previously having their wedding photoshoot. Judging from the sounds, it looked like an incident has occurred.  

“Come on, let’s take a look,” said Bai Luo Yin.

Giving each other a quick glance, the two placed their belongings down and sprinted towards the disturbance.

As they approached the area, they came to realize that the bride had fallen into the sea. Gauging from the photoshoot earlier, it was most likely due to her excessive posturing and carelessness that caused her to fall from the reef.

Normally jumping in to rescue someone was not a difficult task but the crucial point was, it was winter then. Who would actually dare to heedlessly jump into the cold water? Moreover, the bride was wearing a wedding dress that seemed to weigh more than ten kilograms. Even worse, once submerged, the wedding dress soaked up the seawater and became even heavier. When the bride had just fallen into the sea, two men began to pull her gown in an attempt to save her. But due to the increase in weight, they were nearly dragged into the water as well. Ridden with apprehension and seeing no other options, they gave up.

In no time, the groom was driven crazy with anxiety as he watched his bride sink deeper into the sea. He stood on the same spot at the top of the reef and let out a heart wrenching howl. He completely had no idea of what to do! Unfortunately, at this time of the day, the lifeguards had yet to wake up. From the looks of it, by the time they arrive on the scene, the bride would have been dead already.

Unable to look on, Gu Hai took off his watch and cellphone and pressed it against Bai Luo Yin’s chest for him to hold onto.

“Wait for me right here!”

Bai Luo Yin’s eyes widened slightly as fear visibly drew across his face, “You want to go down?”

Without answering, Gu Hai quickened his pace and made way towards the seashore. Just as he tore of his shoes and jacket and prepared to jump into the water, Bai Luo Yin pulled his hand back at full tilt. He then asked with a hint of worry tracing his voice, “Are you sure that it’s safe?”

Instead of saying anything else again, Gu Hai jumped directly from the reef into the ocean beneath.

In such cold weather, Gu Hai had jumped directly into the sea without having done any prior warmups. The group of bystanders were terribly shocked as they watched this event unfold. They thought silently to themselves.

Does this young man not want to live anymore? There’s no need to go to such lengths to save someone! Is he just asking for a death wish?!

Complying to Gu Hai’s words, Bai Luo Yin stood waiting. His eyes lingered on Gu Hai’s form from the moment he jumped to when his body entered the water. Although he was unable to see them, he could feel beads of sweat forming on his forehead that were rolling down the side of his face. His chest tightened, making way for a nameless feeling to wring his heart.

If something were to really happen, he would also follow after him and jump in. Everything else can just be as it is.

Meanwhile, Gu Hai swam while dredging about the water. At this point, the bride had already sank deeper. Concentrating, Gu Hai swam further out a few more meters. Suddenly, he sensed something unnatural in the current and plunged deeper into the sea.

All the bystanders ashore inhaled a deep breath of cold air as they looked on. The photographer muttered to himself, almost incoherent. “That young man is very kind. It’s sad that he died like that.”

Hearing those words, Bai Luis Yin's complexion immediately turned a pasty white. He quickly climbed onto the highest section of that reef and looked out, with focus, at the surface of the water. His eyes, barely blinking, scanned the area from one vast corner to the next. Ridden with worry and anxiety, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Gu Hai, you must come out!

“Young man, you shouldn’t be depressed and take things too hard!”

A couple of seconds later, Bai Luo Yin was pulled down from the reef by a foolish man, who continuously plead with him at the top of his lungs.

“Young man, I failed to stop him from doing such a stupid and dangerous thing because I didn’t have the time. Don’t you dare follow him and imitate such a disastrous move! Having the heart to save someone is a great thing, but you also need to act according to your capabilities. I’m only able to tell you this, restrain your grief. He is a good person!”

“That’s impossible! He will not die!!”

Bai Luo Yin bellowed out in anger as he resentfully shook off the person holding him.

Just as he flung the person’s hands away, Bai Luo Yin heard an exclamation crying in surprise from the side.

“He’s out. He’s actually coming out!”

Scrambling, Bai Luo Yin hastily ran over to the spot that Gu Hai emerged from.

At first, Gu Hai wanted to pull the bride along with her wedding dress to the shore. However, he realized that carrying both was too heavy of a burden for him. In the end, he dove deeper under the water, grabbed the dress and forcefully tore it apart. After he managed to free the bride from the tangles of her leaden garment, he proceeded to support her as he swam towards the shoreline.

Once they were ashore, the lifeguards also rushed over to assist one by one. The bride was lifted onto a stretcher and quickly given CPR. A moment later, she regained consciousness and cried out that it  was cold. Hearing her, the emergency personnel quickly covered her with a thick blanket. Soon, the bride’s emotional tears fell from her eyes.

Once Gu Hai caught sight of this scene, his heart was instantly relieved. In the end, all his efforts were not in vain.

Bai Luo Yin immediately wrapped the jacket, that Gu Hai had previously taken off, around him while urging him to change out of his cold and wet clothes.

Out of nowhere, a swarm of reporters rushed over. As soon as they got out of the car, they bee-lined over to the site of the incident.

As the news people questioned him, the groom pointed towards Gu Hai. It was evident that he was emotionally moved as he spoke to them. “It’s that young man. He’s the one that jumped into the water and saved my girlfriend!”

As a result, several reporters turned toward Bai Luo Yin and Gu Hai and ran over towards them as if trying to chase them down. The two had just set up their tent again and were about to change their clothes when suddenly they were surrounded by a throng of reporters and cameramen.

“Hello, I heard that you saved a person just now. Excuse me, may I ask, are you a local person? What is your name?”

The moment Gu Hai and Bai Luo Yin noticed the video cameras, their complexions changed.

Without saying anything, they exchanged a quick glance, took one huge step backward and jetted off into the distance. With the reporters wildly in pursuit, Gu Hai and Bai Luo Yin didn’t bother to take their belongings or change out of their clothes. It was in this manner that they escaped without looking back.

Unable to run any longer, the reporters soon stopped and gasped for air.

“That’s strange. There are actually still selfless people out there that does something good like this without leaving their names behind just like Lei Feng…...”[2]

“he’s not good for her!” mina argued.

“yeah he’s so moody! what if it rubs off on her!”

“wow i should not have brought that up.” saya rolled her eyes. “you guys don’t have to be so weird about it. sae’s sixteen. you weren’t so weird about me dating yujin and saki dating eunji.”

“that’s different sae is our baby-”

“ka-san i feel compelled to say i’m a teenager-” sae tried for interrupt.

“see he’s already turning her against us!” tzuyu argued.

“okay everyone calm down. we knew sae was eventually going to start dating. i think it’s sweet she’s doing out with daehyung. you guys may think he’s a broody and mean but he has always been that way. he’s really actually quite sweet. people thought the same thing of you tzuyu.” sana pointed out.

“also can we stop yelling at dinner it’s giving me a headache.” saki complained.

“fine.” mina and tzuyu both pouted. sana had never seen them both so worked up over something. it was actually kind of scary. she thought they were perfect and that mina and tzuyu were going to love their relationship. sae didn’t get heard or ruts, and not did daehyung, so they didn’t have to worry about anybody doing anything weird. daehyung had always been a bit on the awkward side but he really was a sweet boy when you got to know him. he even learned to love haeun, a turnaround no one expected from him. sana thought him and sae were adorable.

“um can i be excused?” sae was the first one to ask.

“so you can text him- give me your phone.”

“mina no.” sana put her foot down. “stop acting like a crazy tiger mom. sae isn’t a helpless child anymore.”

“but-”

“not buts myoui mina. no buts from you either chou tzuyu.” sana nodded. “sae honey, ignore them. of course you can be excused.”

“she’s so scary when she’s angry.” saya whispered to saki.

“but what if he hurts her?” mina asked.

“then i give you permission to go all protective alpha on him.” sana nodded. “just try and be nice to him. i’m inviting him over for dinner next week while the other kids are all out. you have to promise me you will play nice, okay?”

“okay...” they both answered.

“thank you, now go say sorry to sae.” sana told the, smiling as they left. she understood, a part of her was worried for sae too. but the kids were growing up. she couldn’t coddle them too much or things wouldn’t turn out well.

xx

“i don’t know sae. meeting your parents for dinner? that sounds a little scary.” daehyung sighed, messing with sae’s hair. she was laying on her boyfriends chest while they laid in his bed together.

“my mom got my mama and ka-san to promise not to be too much.” sae nodded. “please? we only ever hang out at your place.”

“yeah you live in a house of girls and three of them want to kill me.” daehyung laughed. “i’ll take my crazy family over yours any day.”

“they are sweet.”

“remember that time saya almost got all of us killed at the amusement park.”

“saya just stupid.” sae rolled her eyes. “please?”

“fine.” daehyung sighed. “you own me one.”

“i had dinner with your family tonight i think that’s fair.” sae stuck her tongue out. “anyway want to play smash with me? i’ve been thinking of new ways to beat you.”

“so cocky. let’s go sae.” sae giggled and grabbed her game controller off of daehyung’s night stand. daehyung may not have the sweet boy appearance other boys had but inside he was a nice guy who shared similar interests to her. she just hope her parents could see that.

xx

“i’m nervous.” daehyung admitted as he paced in his girlfriends room. “you didn’t tell me your sisters weren’t here!”

“oh yeah saki had a practice march for volleyball, you into sports they get.” sae nodded. “it will be fine.” sae gave her boyfriend a short kiss. “you have known them your whole life.”

“you know for some reason i don’t think it helps my case that i have known them my whole life.” daehyung sighed. sae nodded and sat on his lap.

“you got this. it’s a fourty five minute dinner than we can play games until you have to go home. we can play animal crossing and mario kart.”

“damn you drive a hard bargain. fine.” daehyung put his hands on sae’s waist and just as he was about to kiss her they heard a knock on sae’s door. they both panicked until it was sana who peeked in on them. sae was still on daehyung’s lap, too afriad it was her mama or ka-san to move.

“dinners ready.” sana smiled at both of their blushes. teenagers were so obvious. “your lucky it was me and wasn’t on of my wives. sae you remember what i taught you right? condoms are-”

“oh my god mom get out!” sae threw the closest pillow to her at her mom and sighed. “let’s go i’m so sorry.”

“it’s fine.” daehyung and sae both had red faced as they went downstairs.

“why are you both red?” was the very first question mina asked. “were you doing something with my daughter daehyung?”

“no ma’am! uh auntie sana just mentioned condoms and-”

“oh so you need condoms because you want to have sex with sae. your both underage i forbid it-”

“no ms.chou! i don’t intend on having sex with sae ever!”

“never?” sae asked her boyfriend.

“oh uh maybe when we are married?”

“so you intend to marry her?” mina asked. daehyung flushed further from the questioning and intentions.

“mina tzuyu stop drilling him. he’s seventeen.” sana giggled at her wives. “come daehyung. you and sae can sit next to me.”

they all sat down at the table and daehyung’s hands shook at mina and tzuyu’s protectiveness.

“so daehyung, what are your intentions with our daughter?” tzuyu asked.

“um i- i like sae. a lot. i’ve uh liked her for a while. and um i just want to treat her well!” daehyung admitted.

“mama daehyung is a good boyfriend. he always waits for ballet practice to end and he always walks me home. he even buys me drinks sometimes. we have a lot in common and i like him a lot too.” sae took her boyfriend’s shaky hand. sure her parents were protective but she loved it. it meant they loved and cared about her a lot. it made her feel loved. but daehyung made her feel loved too. so really, she was getting the best of both worlds.

“you really like him sae?” mina asked.

“i really like him.” sae nodded.

“fine. you have one chance daehyung but if you screw up tzuyu and i are going to break both your legs.” mina threatened.

“yes ma’am. thank you ma’am!” daehyung was much calmer throughout the rest of dinner. afterwards he and sae go back to sae’s room to play video games, mina making them keep the door open.

“was that so bad?” sana asked as she cleaned up dinner.

“we’re loosing all our babies sana.” mina whined. “first we lost saki to eunji, then ai to yujin. and now sae to daehyung.”

“stop being so dramatic.” sana rolled her eyes. “besides, you still have one more you haven’t lost yet.”
