"Why'd you have to assign the entire legal team a case right now? They deserve to be here, Woo shik hyung was so excited to meet everyone too. You gave the man false hope."

Yoongi hyung snorts. "Kind of suspicious timing, if you ask me."

I throw in, "Honestly, I think he just didn't want to share the dessert spotlight."

"Totally had nothing to do with wanting all the compliments for your duck confit."

"I earned those compliments!" Jin hyung huffs.

It's Jin hyung making half the kitchen unusable because he insists on plating with edible flowers.

It's Yoongi hyung mumbling affectionate threats while fixing everyone's drinks.

It's Joonie breaking everything but still trying.

It's Tae humming jazz as he waters plants no one remembers buying.

It's Y/N noona catching your gaze in the middle of all the noise and grounding you with a look.
