jihae woke up from the screaming in the room. she had a headache which made it very hard for her to process what was going on.

her vision was a blur as she opened her eyes. it soon came to her that she was in wooyoung's room. and the screaming was from him losing a video game to yunho.

"oh, come on! that was the third time i lost! you're too good at this." wooyoung exclaimed with a sigh at the end while the other boy just laughed. "i mean, i am studying this."

"you study how to win video games?"

"no, you dork. i study-"

"well, good morning." she grumbled. that was enough for the two boys to notice her already awake.

"oh, jihae! you woke up!" yunho moved from the floor to the bed. "are you feeling okay?"

"a little light headed." she said, closing her eyes as it was trying to adjust to the light of the room.

"well, of course you would be. you almost passed out in a bar." the shorter boy nagged, getting up as well. "me and yunho haven't had breakfast yet. let's go downstairs."

"why didn't you eat yet? what time is it?" the girl looked around for a clock and saw it was 10:46am.

"because we were waiting for our dearest, hung over best friend." wooyoung said with a sarcastic smile. "there's soup over there-" he pointed to the desk beside the bed. "eat it while it's hot. and come down once i finish cooking." he closed his bedroom door, leaving yunho with her.

"what a great start to the day." jihae smiled as she took the bowl.

even though her tone has some sarcasm, she really did mean it. you see, wooyoung loves to cook. in fact, he's studying about it. everytime he would cook for them, they would always be left in awe.

she slurped some soup and gave out a satisfied hum. "sometimes i forget how good of a cook he actually is."

yunho chuckled and ruffled her messy hair. "it's the only thing he's good at." he teased which made them both giggle.

her phone buzzed, indicating a message.

"is it your brother? what did jungkook hyung say?" yunho curiously asked, almost grabbing her phone to see the message.

"geez, he only asked if we had breakfast and to not come home late for school tomorrow." jihae explained, moving the device away from the tall boy.

"i wish i was his brother."

"you say that all the time." she rolled her eyes but couldn't help but smile at her best friend.

"c'mon. let's go down and eat. i'm sure wooyoung's food will be enough to make my day."

both of them went downstairs, only to find wooyoung setting up the plates. "oh, hey! food's ready."

the aroma of the food instantly hit their noses as the mouth watering plating made them hungrier than they already were.

the three of them settled down and grabbed their utensils. they all dug in, letting them savor the cooking. it was, of course, really good.

"woo! my brother told me to bring him some of your food. do you have a container?" jihae piped up.

"of course. it's in the cabinet."

"thanks."

after the series of compliments for wooyoung's skills, they started chit chatting about school.

"i heard choi yeonjun likes you." yunho said, not looking at one of them.

choi yeonjun was a classmate of jihae in psychology. he was always every girl could dream of having, but he is openly bisexual. not that it's a bad thing.

when yunho still didn't get a reaction, he added, "it's either one of you, which made it very interesting." he chuckled. "are you gonna try it with him?"

"i mean, i'm pretty sure he's into boys more so..." jihae trailed his eyes on wooyoung.

the silver hair choked on the water he was drinking. "why are you looking at me?"

"you're not interested?"

"why would i be?" the shorter boy replied, flickering his eyes anywhere but his best friends'.

the other two simply shrugged it off, taking wooyoung's decision.

the stated boy never really said his sexual preferences out loud but a lot of students already know he's queer, including his closest friends.

it wasn't like he was in denial. he just won't say anything or just change the topic which almost everyone respected. of course, there are still some name calling from time to time but since he's very popular, a lot of people would defend him.

"anyway, how 'bout you, jihae? anything new?" wooyoung said as he cleared his throat.

jihae thought for a bit. "i'm pretty sure my brother and lisa has a thing for each other."

both of the boys' attention was now on her. "how can you say?"

"I don't know. jungkook just changes when she's around. i can feel it." she squinted her eyes, making a face that shows how convinced she is which made the other two snicker.

"speaking of your brother, didn't you say he wanted food?" the cook asked. "i'll go pack it. excuse me." he stood up and went to the kitchen.

once yunho was sure he couldn't hear them, he whispered, "i think he already has someone he likes."

jihae leaned forward and nodded. "who do you think it is?"

yunho shrugged, having no clue who to name.

the shorter boy returned with a lunchbox in hand. "here you go, jihae. tell hyung i said hi."

"alright. see you guys tomorrow." she stood up and almost walked out the door.

"jihae, wait! want a ride? i'm going that way, too, anyway." the tall boy offered, getting up, as well.

"sure! c'mon. i don't want my brother nagging."

the both of them said goodbye to wooyoung and drove to jihae's house where she was greeted by her one and only brother, jeon jungkook with a bruise on his arm.
