Watching the newly engaged couple making breakfast together lost in their own world in the small space of the kitchen, laughing and giggles on silly jokes between themselves, totally ignoring the stare of a fox-eyed male standing near dining table with an annoyed expression painted on his face.
Annoyed because he couldn't sleep last night.
Why you may ask? Well he was having dreams about his soon to be step brother and it was hella weird. Nothing inappropriate but it was like they were being hella clingy and lovey dovey.
He shivered at the memory and shook his head to clear his mind.
“ He is now messing with my head I swear Kale it's really annoying. ” He said to Kale last night who elegantly ignored his ranting and looked away.
Well speaking of the devil where is he? Thought Sunoo as he turned his head racking his eyes everywhere but to his relief (?) the younger was nowhere to be seen.
Must be sleeping?
Anyways he got up and walked to the couples, clearing his throat intentionally to get their attention and it worked as they paused to give him a questionable look.
“ you were supposed to make breakfast for us.. is it done yet? I'm kinda hungry ”
He said, sounding extremely calm which was scary.
“ Breakfast will be ready in soon please wake Riki up by then Sunoo ”
It was his mom's fiance who asked politely to the younger with a warm smile who instantly nodded, he didn't want to come off as rude anyways.
Great! now he has to wake that sleepyhead up.

Knocking on the door for like four times still there came no answer so he inhaled sharply and pushed open the door meeting with an empty but neat room.
As soon as he stepped into the room with hesitant steps he was engulfed in a very familiar scent. The whole room smells like it's owner and Sunoo somewhat found himself getting lost in the scent and unknowingly started taking deep breaths but then there came a sound of a door sliding open followed by light footsteps.
He turned around and oh fuck- a silent scream left his mouth as he fell back landing on the carpet on his butt with his hands covering his eyes.
There stood Nishimura Riki, Naked- I mean only in his Calvin Klein boxers , honey tanned skin and tonned muscles flexing under the warm ceiling lights, hair drenched with water dripping down from the ends sliding down his body inch by inch.
He looked so hot standing there with a blank expression, staring at the older sitting on his carpeted floor, covering his eyes, tip of his ears and neck all red.
“ I'm sorry I didn't see anything really ”
“ I'm sorry for entering in your room too ”
“ I actually knocked but you--- ”
Sunoo started blabbering sorries in his defence but automatically shut his mouth when he felt a strong grip around his wrists and his hand being pulled away from his face.
“ Sunoo ”
That deep voice, the way he called his name so softly but in a deep husky voice sent shiver down his spine.
He gulped before slowly opening his eyes and his breath hitched when he was met with dark gaze, those puma shaped eyes were dangerous, the alarm in his head was going off telling him to run away but his body wasn't ready to cooperate.
He felt weak under those dark gaze, staring down at him as the younger was crouching down in front of him, face just some inches away and the grip on his wrists were so strong it was giving him adrenaline rush.
“ you really didn't see anything ? ”
Asked Ni-ki with a raised eyebrow and Sunoo flinched.
“ N-No.. ”
Was all he could say in a whisper as he saw the younger leaning closer to him a little.
“ Liar ”
Ni-ki said with a deep chuckle and Sunoo felt his body being set on fire. He wanted to fight back and deny all those allegations against him but he couldn't utter a single word when the younger cupped his face with on hand and crasses his right cheek.
He felt his skin burning under the younger's touch and he unknowingly closed his eyes, leaning more in the warmth against his skin.
Ni-ki hummed in satisfaction and this time swiped his thumb over the moist bottom lips of the older who gasped and his eyes shot open.
“ R-Riki ”
The more he stays in this close proximity to the younger the more he was losing his strength and his voice.
He called the younger in a whisper that sounded more like a whimper and Ni-ki felt his blood rushing south.
He abruptly got up earning a frown from the older who followed his action, getting up from the carpeted floor and dusting off his already clean pants before looking at the younger who was now rampaging through his closet finding for a set of clothes.
“ do you have any business in my room Hyung? ”
It was a little sad how his voice came off so cold but Sunoo pushed that thought back now gaining his strength and sence and remembered why he was here in the first place.
“ Y-Yh mom asked me to call you down for breakfast ”
Sunoo cursed himself for stuttering and Ni-ki turned around now holding a brown checked shirt and grey sweatpants.
Sunoo avoided looking at the younger who was still only in his boxers.
“ Okay wait for me downstairs I will join you guys in a minute ”
With that he walked back into the bathroom and closed the sliding door leaving the older flushed and embarrassed.
________
Homemade waffles, cheesy bacon and egg hash, delicious moist banana bread, egg benedicts, sausages, pineapple smoothie and many more dishes were set on the table. It was definitely too much for four people but who's gonna complain when you can eat a little bit of everything.
The dinning table was set perfectly with various dishes, mouthwatering to look at yet the younger's eyes were fixed on the certain fox-eyed male sitting in front of him talking to his dad about his academic performances and upcoming exams.
He was basically stripping him with his eyes and the older was fully aware of that as he tried his best to ignore the latter's intimidating gaze and concentrate on the delicious food and those other two people sitting with him.
Now he has come to one definite conclusion;
Nishimura Riki = danger
‘ Gotta avoid that piece of shit ’
He mentally noted and mentally nodded to himself but universe have a beef with him and it was proven when Mr. Nishimura.. Niki's dad started speaking with a serious tone.
“ You are academically briliant Sunoo so why don't you tutor this kid? He really needs to study and at least score decent grades. ”
‘ You gotta be kidding me ’
Sunoo mental screamed in pure horror and disbelief. Excuse- yes he need to come up with an excuse cuz this man is setting him up to get killed by his son. No way he will let that happen.
He have a pet snake to take care of...
“ Umm I don't think Riki will like that... right? ”
He looked at the younger with suggestive gaze that says “ you better say no ” but why would anything will go his way?
Ni-ki suddenly broke into a wide grin- a sexy one --- I mean a nasty one and nodded excitedly.
“ I would love that. please hyungie help me in my studies- if only it's not a bother to you ”
Someone give this man an Oscar- like shove that award up his ass for his amazing, mind-blowing acting skills.
He looked like an innocent kid who is really in trouble and is anxious about his studies and Sunoo is his only saviour- FAKE ASS BIRD!
“ Okay ”
Was all he could say through greeted teeth while throwing draggers at that younger who had this annoying grin plastered on his face that he would love to punch to pulp.
“ Aww how sweet, Riki say thanks to Sunoo and you should be grateful for him look how nice he is to agree to tutor you in a heartbeat even though he must be busy with his own studies. ”
‘ WHAT ARE YOU?!? NOW WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO GUILT TRIP ME?!? ’
Sunoo wanted to flip that whole dining table over and run away but he sat there frozen while clenching his fists under the table, he had lost his appetite long ago.
“ Ofcourse my Sunoo is a sweetheart ”
His mother chimmed in.
‘ ofcourse mom only you were left to add fuel to my misery ’
“ Thank you hyungie I will be in your care from now on ”
‘ Yes? I will fetch you to Kale Riki! ’ he wanted to shout that out loud to the younger who was smiling innocently at him and the two elders sitting with them.
“ Your welcome Riki ”
Said Sunoo in a weak voice with a forced honey dripping smile and he was already seeing his peaceful life being ruined by none other than Nishimura Riki when the younger smirked shamelessly.
_______
At least his university is Riki free so he could breathe here freely and feel peace for once.
“ So you are telling me that you are now gonna tutor that Riki kid? ”
Asked Jake while taking a sip of cherry almond smoothie that he snatched from Jay who was throwing draggers at him with his eyes.
“ Isn't it good to tutor your step brother? I mean it will help bonding so.. ”
Heeseung said in a suggestive manner and everyone nodded except Jungwon who was smirking.
“ what? ”
Asked Sunoo, giving a weird questionable look at Jungwon who chuckled before sitting up straight feeling the eyes of his friends on him.
“ That kid is weird ”
Jungwon started
“ RIGHT? FUCKING WEIRD LIKE AS WEIRD AS JAKE HYUNG'S COOKIES THAT HE BAKED LAST WEEK ”
Sunoo butted in, unable to control himself from commenting on this matter specially when Jungwon said an obvious fact about his step brother.
“ you didn't had to hurt me like that Sunoo ”
Jake being the dramatic ass he is had to act like he lost custody of his five kids making everyone of the table chuckle. They have long forgotten about their food.
“ anyways as I was saying..he is weird and I feel like he is being possessive of Sunoo hyung "
A loud ass gasp left Sunghoon's mouth who looked like he had connected some dots.
“ guys I think Wonnie is right like yesterday I was at his place and that dude gave me this look that says back off Sunoo is mine and I almost jumped out of the window I swear ”
Sunghoon said with a fake terrified voice earning an eye roll from Jungwon.
“ if thats true that explains why he want you to tutor him. ”
Jay added as he snatched the remaining smoothie from Jake and gulped it down earning an annoyed look from Jake.
Honestly whatever they said made a lot of sence to Sunoo who listened to them attentively and in his heart he felt mixed emotion about this assumption.
Was he scared?
Was he happy? - why would he?
Was he excited?- the fuck?
But most definitely he made up his mind, he needs to be on guard around that Satan of a step brother.
______
Classes ended in a flash well most of his classes got cancelled so he decided to leave earlier than waiting for this friends who have classes for two more hours.
It's not like he was dying to see Ni-ki it's just that he just wanted to sleep cuz his bed was calling him.
Well he was kinda curious about the younger one not gonna lie but Kim Sunoo will never admit that.
Ni-ki has been staying home for this week and then he will start to go to school until the winter break and then he has to go through final exams.
‘ is he even studying? ’ thought Sunoo and without knowing he was thinking about the younger the whole walk to their residence.
As soon as he stepped inside he was greeted with darkness and deafening silence. Of course his mom and Ni-ki's dad have already left for the office but what about Ni-ki? Is he sleeping again?
He thought and a chill ran down his spine making him shiver.
“ the fuck- who turned the heaters off ? ”
It was almost winter and the temperature was dropping crazily. He turned the heaters on and dropped his backpack on the couch before making his way to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of warm water.
While chugging his water down his eyes caught a sight of green blue lights dancing on white pillars.
“ oh right indoor swimming pool ”
He almost forgot they have an indoor swimming pool and ofcourse he wanna atleast dip his feet in it.
He washed the now empty glass and put it back where it belongs to and walked excitedly to the indoor swimming pool. He slide open the big glass door and stepped inside. The temperature was warm and he closed the door behind him before scanning the whole area.
It was empty so Ni-ki must be sleeping in his room or whatever? That wasn't his concern anyways. He smiled as he walked closer to the edge and sat down carefully before dipping his feet in the warm water that was set on the room temperature.
Green and blue lights dancing on his beautiful face as he closed his eyes smiling to himself feeling the warm water thingling his feet.
He was so engrossed in the feeling that he didn't notice a figure stepping inside the pool area and getting inside the water so silently making sure that the latter stays unaware of his presence.
Nishimura Riki
A smirk appeared on his face as he made his way to the older who was sitting on the edge of the pool, eyes still closed with green and blue water light pattern reflecting on his face.
He was so mesmerized by his beauty that he wanted to burn that image in his brain.
A surprised yelp left the older's mouth when he felt a strong grasp around his right ankle and the next thing he knows is he is in the pool all drenched.. in the arms of his silly soon to be step brother.
