"Yeogi." Youngjae smiled placing plates in front of each. "Hmm smells good. I want the drumsti-ah!" His hand was slapped away before it could reach the drumstick. "Yahhh..." He whined pouting but stopped it as soon as he received the glare. "Wonwoo-ssi pass me your bowl please." Rumi smiled as he passed it to her. "Here." She scooped the drumstick from the pot and placed in his bowl. "Let me know if you want more." She smiled passing the bowl back to him. "Oppa serve him chapati ani bhaat (flat bread and rice.)" Rumi said taking Youngjae's bowl to serve him. Youngjae just stared at her with narrowed eyes.

"Oppa." Rumi called his name again. "EO." Youngjae scoffed proceeding to serve Wonwoo. "Gomawoyo hyung." Wonwoo chuckled watching him pout. "Eo." Youngjae huffed when his bowl was placed on his plate. Not just curry filled bowl but with a drumstick. "Rumiiii-yaaaaaaa..." He cried his arms already engulfing her in bear hug. "Uri Rumi. Oppa saranghae!" He cried placing kisses over her forehead.

"Ahh shii, ja tithe." Rumi grumbled pushing him away. "Aish, oppa you're so embarrassing." Rumi muttered wiping her forehead. Wonwoo giggled watching the siblings. "How am I embarrassing? Can't I love my dongsaeng? Hm? Hmm? Iriwa. Let oppa hug you some more." Youngjae went for another but returned to his seat as soon as he went. "De. Let's start with out dinner. Wonwoo-ssi, please." Youngjae politely asked Wonwoo to start.

Wonwoo laughed and nodded his head. "De." He laughed and looked down his plate. There was bowl of curry, flat bread folded in half on one side and rice on other side of plate. How should I? He looked for chopsticks or spoon. "Umm, otteoke...?" He glanced at Rumi's and Youngjae's plate.

"Ah." Youngjae smiled. "You tear chapati like this-" He instructed tearing a piece of chapati and proceeding scooping curry with it. "-and you take it like this and devo-mhm." Half of his words were eaten with that bite. "Hmhumh...Rumi-yaaa." He threw her a thumbs up. Not waiting for another he took another bite. "Cheoncheonhi." Rumi patted his back. "Oppa I'm so proud." She smiled. "Look at you teaching others." She slapped his backs in pride.

Rumi looked at Wonwoo who was watching Youngjae eat comfortably with his hands. "Wonwoo-ssi, let me bring you a spoon." Rumi said getting up. "Aniyo." Wonwoo said. "I want to try." Rumi smiled and nodding her hand. Wonwoo held the chapati like Youngjae had taught him tried to tear it with his finger but failed. Rumi giggled at his tongue poking out when he was focusing. "You can use your both hands." Rumi guided with gentle smile.

"Yah, you can use your both hands. It took me months to master using one hand." Youngjae encouraged. Wonwoo looked at Rumi who nodded. Wonwoo used his other hand to hold the chapati, tore a piece and looked up at Rumi. She nodded her head smiling, Wonwoo grinned and scooped the curry while glancing at Rumi. "Then you eat ahh..." Youngjae said as Wonwoo ate the piece. Both of them watched him savour it slowly.

"So how is it?" Youngjae asked as both of them stared at him curiously. Wonwoo turned towards Rumi and smiled. "Mashisseo!" Wonwoo complimented tearing another piece of chapati. Rumi smiled in relief. "Curry is spicy and this...chapati is tasty." Wonwoo said continuing to eat. He had just learned how to eat chapati and now Youngjae had poured curry on his rice and was eating it using his fingers. Wonwoo stared at him and then at Rumi who chuckled.

"I'll bring you a spoon don't worry." She laughed at his scared face.

Youngjae patted his stomach leaning back on couch. "Ahhh I'm stuffed." He groaned rubbing his belly, Wonwoo nodded his head patting his own stomach. Rumi looked at them and chuckled, "You know there's this saying back home, if you rub your belly after eating, it will grow bigger for...forever." She laughed at both of them removed their hands from belly. "Yah! Are you cursing us or what? We can't have Wonwoo's belly growing. Aniyo! Phish...phish...go away cursed thoughts." Youngjae slapped away his thoughts in air.

"I wouldn't mind Wonwoo-ssi growing a big belly. Wonwoo-ssi would still look cute." Rumi muttered. "Mwo?" Youngjae asked while Wonwoo who seating in middle of them turned rosy at her comment. "I said who told you to have two bars of ice-cream after stuffing yourself like a pig!" Rumi accused.

"Yah!" Youngjae screamed offended. "It's not like I get to enjoy dinner like this with Wonwoo everyday!"

"Eh? What does that got to do with being a pig?"

"isssup! There you go again. Who are you calling pig!? You-you-gorilla!"

Rumi gasped! "What did you just called me?!" Rumi exclaimed leaning over Wonwoo and grabbing Youngjae by his t-shirt. "Have you looked at yourself? Eo?! You fat ass!" Rumi shook him. "Rumi-ssi, hyung, stop." Wonwoo tried separate them. "EO! I have! You gorilla!" Youngjae taunted and bit her hand. "Ahh! You dog! Let go! Let go!" Rumi screamed.

Wonwoo's eyes widen at the childish pair of siblings. He quickly grabbed Rumi's waist pulling her back and pushed Youngjae trying to separate them. Youngjae finally let go and jump off the couch running away. "You little bitch! Where are you going?!" Youngjae poked his tongue at her in response and disappeared in his room. "That dog. Wonwoo-ssi look he bit me." Rumi complaint showing her hand which had bite marks. Wonwoo looked at her with worried eyes, his hands tightly gripping her waist in case she loses balance and falls over. Rumi looked down at him, she was basically hovering over him with her knees on either side of his legs. "Does it hurts?"

"Eo?" Rumi was pulled out of her dirty thoughts. "Eoo...It hurts." Rumi nodded lifting her knee to return back to her seat but lost her balance. Wonwoo tightened his grip on her waist steadying her while Rumi found his shoulders to grip. "Are you okay?" Wonwoo glanced up worried. Rumi nodded breathing out loud. "Ah, we keep getting in situation like this." She whispered looking down at him. Wonwoo visibly gulped nodding his head. "We do."

"Mianhaeyo..." Rumi whispered as Wonwoo shook his head. "Aniyo. It's fine." He whispered back, both of them unconsciously leaning closer. "Is it really?" Rumi asked her eyes flicking to his lips then back to his eyes. Wonwoo licked his lips, "It-"

"Rumi-ya why are you not pic-" THUD! "Whoa what happened?!" Youngjae walked towards the couch to see Rumi on floor holding her butt in pain while Wonwoo looking sorry and guilty. "What were you two doing there?" Youngjae questioned glancing at them.

Rumi shook her head. "Noth-ah!" Rumi cried shifting on other side of her butt. "Rumi-ssi..." Wonwoo guiltily looked at her. Rumi shook her head and smiled. "We were doing nothing. What were you saying earlier oppa?" Rumi asked getting up. "Anii...Hyun called saying you are not picking his call." Youngjae said pointing at the back. "Yah, gwenchana?" He asked worriedly at the way Rumi was holding her back with look of pain. Rumi waved off his worry. "Hmm, I'm fine. I kept my phone somewhere I'll call him later." Rumi replied with a sigh.

"What were you both even doing?" Youngjae asked this time turning towards Wonwoo, who looked like a deer caught in a headlight. "Uh-uh, um nothing?" Wonwoo replied. "Ah! It's getting late. I should get going." Wonwoo quickly picked up his phone from the teapoy. "Right! It's getting late. Oppa, I'll go drop Wonwoo-ssi off." Rumi added running to her room. Youngjae glanced at both of them suspiciously. Something definitely happened and they are hiding it from me. Hmm...Rumi won't open her mouth so the only target that is left...Youngjae smiled. As if hearing his thoughts Wonwoo's eyes widen. Wonwoo glanced at Rumi's room, she was nowhere to be seen, should I just make a run for it? He thought glancing at the front door. "Wonu-yaaa..."

"Let's go Wonwoo-ssi." Rumi returned back. "Eo, ye! Let's go!" Wonwoo did a 180 and wished Youngjae goodnight without turning back.

As soon as both stepped out of the elevator, they looked at each other and burst out laughing. "Hahaha. I got scared for my life. If Rumi-ssi had returned on time then I was planning to run out of there." Wonwoo confessed laughing. "Good thing I did if not then oppa would have ran behind you." Rumi laughed. "But Rumi-ssi are you okay? I pushed you too hard." Wonwoo asked glancing down. Rumi snorted. "I'm fine. I'm fine." Wonwoo hesitantly nodded his head. He noticed her carrying two helmets. "Are we riding your bike?" He questioned.

Rumi smiled stopping in front of her bike. "Eo. Is it okay with Wonwoo-ssi? Or we can call a taxi-" "Aniyo!" He cut her off, his eyes on the beauty standing in front of him. Rumi chuckled, "Here." she said holding up the zipper jacket she had brought. Wonwoo looked at her. "It's going to be cold if we are going to ride her." Rumi nodding towards her bike.

Wonwoo nodded and turned around putting his hands through sleeves as Rumi help him. He turned around facing her, Rumi smiled and pulled up the zipper. "Fits perfectly." She said handing him the helmet. Wonwoo thanked her putting it on. Rumi climbed her bike while putting on her own helmet and turned towards Wonwoo who was waiting for her. She nodded her head. "De!" Rumi chuckled; he looked like an excited kid. Wonwoo climbed behind her. "I'm ready." He said.

Rumi glanced at him through the side mirror and smirked. She turned the key, ignited the engine, and turned the throttle making the bike roar. "Wahhhh..." Wonwoo muttered at the sound of the bike. Rumi smirked and releasing the brake making the bike jerk forward. "Ah!" Wonwoo jerked forward bumping into Rumi's back. "Mian. Are you okay?" Rumi asked turning her head to side. "Eo." Wonwoo nodded fixing his helmet. Rumi smiled facing forward. "You should hold on something." Wonwoo snapped his head at her. "Ye? Ah ye." He hesitantly placed his hands on her shoulder. Rumi sighed, "Wonwoo-ssi should hold on something tighter." Rumi said as she pulled his arms and placed them around her waist. "Now that's better." Rumi smirked. Wonwoo hummed interlocking his fingers together. Rumi chuckled knowing he was red under that helmet and pulled out of the driveway.

Rumi could feel his excited through her back. I bet his grinning like a kid in there. "I heard Wonwoo-ssi likes riding motorbikes!" Rumi shouted over the wind. "De! I love it!" Wonwoo shouted back, one could hear the happiness from his voice. "Do you want to give her a try?!" Rumi asked. "De?!" Wonwoo asked not quite getting that.

Rumi checked the side mirror and pulled over the bike to side. Wonwoo got off the bike and open his visor. "What happened?" He asked. Rumi pushed down the side stand and shifted back. "Get on." She patted the seat in front. "Eh?" Wonwoo looked at her in surprise. "Jinja?" He asked looking excited. "Eo! Get on." Rumi laughed watching him giggle and climb on. He kicked off the stand. "Rumi-ssi are you ready?" He asked all giddy. "Aniyo." Rumi locked both her arms around his waist. "Now I am!" Wonwoo laughed as both of them rode off.

"Wahhhhh..." Wonwoo laughed taking of his helmet and getting off. "Was it fun?" Rumi asked smiling at his messy head. Wonwoo grinned nodding. "May I?" Rumi asked pointing at his hair. Wonwoo touched his hair and leaned down so she could fix it for him. Rumi patting his hair down. "Hmm it's done." She smiled stepping back. "Gomawoyo." Rumi nodded looking away. "Was she good?"

"De?" Wonwoo asked and then looked at the bike. "Eo, she was. She is." Rumi smiled.

"It's been long since she went out."

"Waeyo?" Wonwoo asked and then remembered. "Ah right, your license. That's how we met." He muttered answering his own question. "But how did you even managed to get your license suspended?" Rumi giggled. "Speeding?" Wonwoo rolled his eyes knowing well it was more than that. "And public destruction?" Rumi continued. "What? How? Never mind." Wonwoo shook his head as Rumi laughed. "It's always something surreal with Rumi-ssi. Do you remember saying you have bullet wound on your thigh the first time we met?" Rumi laughed nodding her head.

"De. I was drunk that time. Ahhh thinking about it I always end up in embarrassing situation in front of Wonwoo-ssi." Rumi sighed as Wonwoo laughed nodding his head. "Are you agreeing? Wonwoo-ssi you are suppose to say no and console me!" Rumi scolded while Wonwoo laughed covering his mouth. "Hmph. I'm leaving." Rumi huffed climbing on the bike.

"Eo? Mianhaeyo." Wonwoo apologized still laughing. "Are you upset?" Rumi turned towards him. "Aniyo!" She pouted putting on her helmet. "Aarso." Wonwoo chuckled.

Vernon who was returning back from convenience store while chomping of popsicle noticed the familiar figure in front of their apartment building. "Eo? Is that Wonu hyung?" He asked himself squinting his eyes. "What is he doing and who is that?" He muttered watching him converse with the biker. He watched him handing the helmet but the biker pushed it back to Wonwoo.

"What are they doing?" Vernon muttered. "Oh, they saying bye." Vernon said as Wonwoo stepped back waving at the biker. Vernon was about to called him when Wonwoo turned around and stepped near the biker. Wonwoo said something making the biker look up. He leaned down and kis-

The plastic bag slipped from Vernon's hand and crashed to ground just like his jaw. Wha-what? He watched his hyung turned around and run away while the biker sat there frozen much like himself. The biker than grabbed his head more like his helmet and shook it; he suddenly started stomping his legs and fist pumping the air. Vernon watched the biker having whole victory ceremony before he made a U-turn and drove off.

"What did I just saw?" Vernon asked himself while picking his bag. "Wonu hyung is dating? And I didn't know he was into-ah!" Vernon shook his head. "Vernon-ah, it's non of your business. You saw nothing." With that the passive one returned back to his dorm. "Vernon-ah you are back?" Seungcheol asked noticing him walk in. "Eo." Vernon replied passing the plastic bag to him. "Yah, why is it broken?" Seungcheol asked holding the broken popsicle.

"Hmm? Eo, it fell." Vernon answered while his eyes on the reason why it fell. There was Wonwoo with huge grin on his face and the helmet sitting on table in front of him. "You want?" Mingyu asked showing ice-cream cone to Wonwoo who shook his head no. "I already had one. Ahh I'm stuffed today." He smiled patting his stomach.

"Really? Where did you eat today?" Jeonghan asked.

"Eo?" Wonwoo looked at him. "Ah, um my friend cooked. It was delicious so I had little too much." Wonwoo answered.

"And what about this one? You took your bike out?" Mingyu asked nodding towards the helmet. "Doesn't look like yours?" Wonwoo nodded. "It's my friend's. Dropped me off so yeah..." Wonwoo trailed off with a daze smile on his face. Vernon who was observing him shook his head. You saw nothing. He kept chanting in his head. "Did you make biker friends or what? And who is this friend that I don't know about? You have been going over his place a lot lately?" Mingyu asked suspiciously looking at him. Uh-huh. Vernon covered his mouth.

"Yah!" Seungcheol called, a smirk suiting his face. "Jealous?" He asked smirking at Mingyu who tsked and rolled his eyes.

"M-mwo, why would I be jealous?" Mingyu snorted. "I was just asking since he's been going out a lot these days."

"He's jealous. Wonu-ya he's hundred percent jealous." Seungcheol teased they laughed at annoyed Mingyu.
