"Y/n?" my brother interrupts him right when he lowered my body to his again, so I quickly get off of him and rush towards the door to open it. "What?" I take the lollipop out, but his eyes drift towards Joonha, who sat up.

"I'm gonna start streaming in a few minutes, can I get your keyboard?" he asks when he received his. "Why don't you use your new one?"

"Yours is better," he does not find another reason. "And why is that? Isn't yours more expensive?" I stick the lollipop back in my mouth to suck on it, and he shakes his head. "It's around the same price, but the led lights aren't working so I'm gonna return it."

"You're annoying, Inhyuk," I turn around but walk to my desk to unplug my keyboard. "How many subscribers do you have?" Joonha shows some interest. "Twelve thousand, and more than five hundred followers," he flexes in front of him, and I go back to him with my keyboard. "Wow. That's a lot, and what's your content in general?"

"I play different video games, and sometimes I just chat," he takes it and thanks me. "That's cool, I hope you'll get even more successful then."

"Thanks," he lets a small curve lift one corner of his lips and glances at me. "I'll bring it back once I'm done," he leaves, and I close the door. He did not even say anything about the fact that the door was not open, and he did not even burst into my room, what a change and relief.

Now that we are alone, I turn in Joonha's direction and step to my gaming chair, his lollipop still in my mouth. "Give me my candy," he intertwines his hands, resting his forearms over his thighs. I show no agreement at all and send him packing.

"Are you sure? I'm gonna make you regret this, I swear," his words always show more than his actions, so I sneer and rotate my chair to open discord on my computer and leave him behind me.

"You have no idea what's about to happen to you, but I already feel pity for you," he mumbles as if someone was listening, and I smile, only because he cannot see me. I remain silent but grab my phone to send a text to my brother.

[ I need your keyboard... >

He does not answer, so I wait a few seconds, and I look back at Joonha. He is not doing anything but focusing on his phone. I watch him type a text, then Inhyuk knocks on the door, so I move up and go get what I need. "Here, but be careful with it."

"I will. Thank you," I close the door and move back to my chair again, connect this brand new keyboard to my pc, and I use it to answer a message I received from a friend.

"Where did you buy the choker that you wore yesterday?" I do not remain quiet while checking the messages I got. "At a shop," he believes this is funny, so I fake a laugh and turn towards him. "I wouldn't have expected that."

He raises his eyes up and smiles. "I can't tell because I'm not the one who bought it. A friend got it for my birthday."

"Oh, alright," I pull the candy out of my mouth and move to walk up to him. I heave it up to his mouth, but he gazes up at me. "I don't want it anymore. It's covered in your saliva."

"Too bad—" I cannot finish my sentence, he changes his mind and takes it from my hand to fill his mouth with it. This time, I do not leave but sit down next to him, and I brush some strands of his bangs away from his forehead. "How is your bruise going?"

"Fine, it's almost gone," he locks his phone and drops his eyes on me. "Stop acting so sweet, I'll still make you regret it," he forces a smile, but it does not matter. "I don't care, I wasn't trying anything. I was even about to push my finger against it again."

He smirks at this provocation but holds his lollipop to swirl it into his mouth and slides it out while staring at me. "That would be very inconvenient for you if your brother hears some stuff happening in here, hm?"

"Hear what? Nothing's gonna happen," I do not believe otherwise, but he lets go of the stick to lean back on the bed, places one arm under his head, and causes his white t-shirt to expose his abs. "Sure? Because a small sound can quickly slip out of my mouth."

I cannot restrain the smile he put on my face, and I slowly become nervous at the thought of him having enough confidence to do what I am thinking about. "You suck your lollipop and shut up."

His intimidating eyes stare through my soul, his full, swollen and glossy lips embracing the small heart-shaped candy, my pulse gaining speed. The red and glossy sweet grazes his lip ring, and a soft moan suddenly escapes his mouth, making my inside go insane. "Stop—" I slap his stomach but hear another arousing moan run away from his lips.

This type of thing easily turns me on, and I know I will get into trouble if my brother or dad hears this, he better stop right away.

"Shut the fuck up, Joonha!" I try to cover his mouth, my body heating up, but he catches my forearms and laughs. "Y/n..." he rolls his eyes and lets my name out in a sexual way, getting my heart to race, and my stomach to be filled with butterflies. "Slow down, I'm not gonna be able to stay quiet if you keep suck— Ugh—" he whines and hurries to plaster his hand over my mouth to pin me down on my bed while I cannot help but smile, nervously trying to hide the arousal he engendered inside of me.

He ceases his childish behavior, a part of his body hovering over mine, he pulls his lollipop out and shows satisfaction. "Do you want me to keep going? Why are you blushing?"

I gulp down and do not even glance away. He removes his hand from my lips to allow me to speak and rests his head on his fist. "Your heart's pounding," he pokes fun at this, which I cannot even deny or hide. "Because I was scared my brother could come back," I use the best pretext I found in my head and sit up, still feeling the tingles everywhere.

"Hm. And you got so scared that you blushed," he points this embarrassing reaction of my body out, and I instantly get rid of the curve in the corners of my lips. "Yeah."

"Aw, that's cute," he gets up and stands right before me. "I saw you looking at my dad's chest earlier," he holds his lollipop in front of my face, keeping his other hand in his pocket. "I wasn't. I only looked at his chain."

"At his chain? Sure. You think I'm gonna believe you?" he slaps the candy against my bottom lip. "Little liar."

"I'm not a liar," I defend myself, but he smirks and pushes the sweet into my mouth that I do not have a choice but to open, and once I have it inside, he slides this hand in his pocket too and gazes down at me. "Next time you leer at my dad, I shove something else in your mouth, alright?"

"I wasn't leering, moron. I just noticed that he was big," I reply, but he coughs after choking on his saliva. "Big? I'm— Do you want me to moan even louder?"

"I'm joking," I stand up, but he does not move and gets us to be in tight contact. "I'm never inviting you to my house unless my dad is not home, pervert."

"Pervert?" I raise my eyebrows and bite into the lollipop to end it. "Who has a third leg pushing through his pants right now?"

This remark strikes a reaction, and he passes his tongue over his lip ring but leans in to inch his features closer to mine. "Who blushed and clenched her legs when I moaned her name?" he whispers at my face, and I smile with some hatred. "I don't know," I whisper back at him, and he scoffs. "Sure," he gives a pinch to my cheek, and I go back to my chair. "I gotta pee, is this your bathroom?" he grasps the handle of the door no one other than me usually opens, and I nod.

Now that he is sure, he goes in and leaves.

4:50 pm.

"Won again," he smiles and licks his lips, taking his hands off the controller now that the match between us is over. I lean back on my gaming chair and cross my arms, feeling some frustration. "I told you, baby girl," he smirks and does not leave me alone about it, resting his elbow on his chair's armrest. "You sound like a cringe Tiktok boy, shut up," I drop my controller on my lap, and he stares at me, showing all his cockiness. "What's wrong about that? Many girls love those cringe boys."

"I don't," I make it clear, and he chuckles but grabs his phone. "Well, I'm gonna have to leave to dine with my dad."

"Are you leaving?" I ask, feeling a bit sad. "Yeah, I know you're sad, but I'll call you once I'm in bed if you want," he acts like I am the one missing him all the time and cannot be away. "Who said I wanna talk to you?"

"Alright then, I won't text you anymore," he puts his controller down and stands up, but I smile and regret my answer. "I was joking."

"Oh, you change your mind now?" he finds it funny, so I hit his abs. "I know you wouldn't stand one day without talking to me, I'm only doing it for you."

"No. Wait, come here," he leans towards me and brings his hand up to my face. He skims his thumb over my lips as if he was wiping them. "Shh. You're digging in the atmosphere at this point. Your pride already hit the ground long ago, stop doing this to yourself," he never runs out of comeback to shut me up, and I fight against myself to not smile.

"See you on Wednesday," he waves at me, but I do not let him leave the house alone, I follow him downstairs. "You work on Wednesday."

"Yeah, but we'll eat lunch together, we're gonna make this a habit now," he reaches the living room where my dad is, and he focuses on him. "I'm leaving, Mister Jang. Thank you very much for allowing me to spend some time here."

"Oh, already? No need to thank me though," he kindly shows some sympathy. "I hope you have a good evening at your house."

"Thank you, hope you do too," he bows to my dad, and I bring him to the entry room but close the door behind us to be alone. "Your brother's still streaming, right?" he puts his shoes back on, and I nod, disappointed about the fact that he could not stay for dinner. "Tell him I said goodbye then," he does not forget about him, even though he is not here. "I will."

"Good," he smiles, his blue eyes staring into mine. He steps closer and wraps his arms around me, so I hug him back right away. "See you tomorrow and text me if you want or need to talk, alright? No matter what time it is."

"Alright," I agree to it, and he squeezes me in his arms. "Water your plant tonight, don't you dare forget about him, got it?" he reminds me as if this was important to him too, and I giggle but move back once he lets go. "I won't forget about my plant. Don't worry. My mind was just away last night."

"Hm, I count on you," he puts his cap on. "See you, and if you wanna hang out. Call me, I'll come with you," he cannot stop thinking about what happened to me, and I hold my hands behind my back. "Okay. See you and be careful."

"I will," he steps to the door and opens it, and before leaving, he turns around and waves at me as if I was a child. "See you, baby girl," he uses a cute voice, and I laugh but wave back to say goodbye.

When the door gets closed, I stand on my spot without knowing what to do, already missing him, and I go back in the living room.

I stop typing my text at the sound of my brother knocking on my door, and I let him in since I asked him for something a few minutes ago.

"Here, it's the one you wanted, right?" he gives me the red popsicle I was waiting for, and I nod. "Yep. Thank you," I pull on my sleeve to hold it and not freeze my hand. "You're welcome," he leaves my room and closes the door, so I finish my text.

He starts typing a text but does not finish it. His picture covers my entire screen, and I giggle but pick up the call.
