Your mother, Minji, sent you out to buy groceries and fetch your brother, Jeahyun, for dinner. After finishing your errands, you called him.

At that moment, Jeahyun was with his friends—Lee Jihoon, Jaegyeon, Taesoo, and Jichang—lounging by a ruined building, smoking.

"Who is it?" Jihoon asked, exhaling smoke.

"My annoying little brother," Jeahyun muttered.

"Now that I think about it, we’ve never met him, even when we visited your house," Jaegyeon noted.

"Probably locked up in his room studying—nothing interesting," Jeahyun shrugged.

"Don't say that. He might be smarter than all of us," Jichang remarked. "Pick up the call."

Jeahyun finally answered, putting the call on speaker.

"Mom wants you home for dinner. Hurry, or you’ll be dealing with her scolding. It’ll be entertaining to watch while I eat, though," You said casually.

His friends chuckled as Jihoon silently listened, intrigued.

Minutes later, You arrived, lollipop in mouth, spotting Jeahyun and his group. Without hesitation, you walked up and lightly kicked him from behind.

"The hell you calling annoying?" You said smoothly, unbothered.

Jeahyun hissed in annoyance, rubbing his leg, while Your gaze briefly met Jihoon’s. He sat on the ground, back against the wall, cigarette between his fingers, watching you with quiet interest before you shifted your eyes back to your brother.
