Dating Keeho definitely comes with its quirks. One of the biggest? Soul—his chaotic, lovable bandmate.

Soul has made it his personal mission to call Keeho dad at every opportunity, even though they’re only three years apart. And Keeho, being Keeho, fully leans into the bit. He dotes on Soul like a real parent would, and as his “dad’s” girlfriend, that apparently makes you… the mom.

Honestly, you don’t mind. Soul is impossible not to love. He’s weird and wonderful, always buzzing with some new idea or nonsense language. Sure, he’s barged in on a few too many tender moments shouting gibberish, but you can’t stay mad at him. Not when he looks up at you with those wide eyes and calls you mom like he actually means it.

Which is exactly why you’re not even surprised—let alone mad—when he invites himself to your anniversary dinner with Keeho.

You and Keeho hardly ever get uninterrupted time together, but of course it’s Soul who crashes it. Apparently, he followed Keeho to your dorm, clinging to him and whining about how much he’s missed you. And Keeho, completely helpless when it comes to Soul, didn’t even try to say no.

So here you are, dishing out the fancy dinner you made to not one, but two guests. Only one of whom was on the invite list.

Keeho watches you with that soft, charming smile you know too well, eyes warm and amused. As you pass behind him to give Soul his plate, he reaches out and gives your bum a playful little squeeze—subtle enough to make you flinch, not enough for Soul to notice.
