You had just gotten back from a friend’s house when the thumping bass and bursts of laughter hit you as soon as you stepped inside. Following the noise to the backyard, you found your pool packed with your older brothers, Matt, friends, drinks in hand, splashing around like they owned the place. And there was Matt in the middle of it, grinning, as if throwing a boys’ night without telling you was no big deal, especially while your parents were out of town.

Your irritation only grew as you took in the group. You knew them all: Noah leaning against the edge with his usual unimpressed look, Luca already smirking, Minho stretched out lazily on a floaty, Jaiden giving you a quick wave, and Kai and Liam who didn’t even bother hiding the way they checked you out.
