Thirteenth (1/1)

”Good morning gentlemen” I chirped happily when I came to the living room. All I got as a response were mumbles and groans. I frowned and placed my hands to my hips.“Why aren’t we ever in good mood at the same time?” I asked Daniel who was practically sleeping on the couch. I walked to the kitchen were Jeesu was sitting.“Good morning” he smiled at me. I smiled too.“Good morning” I answered happily. I sat down across from him.“Are you guys going to do something special today?” I questioned while pouring myself a glass of milk.“Yup. We are going to shoot Gurupop with San E-hyung and you’re coming with us” Jeesu announced.“Me? What am I going to do there?”“Um, duh! You are obviously going to watch your favourite oppas’ shooting a TV show” he stated.“You are my only oppas” I told him matter-of-factly.“Therefore we must be your favourites” he smiled and left the kitchen. I walked after him to the living room.“Wait, isn’t Daniel hosting that show?” I asked, while looking at the half-dead Daniel lying on the couch.“Yup” Simon answered. I poked Daniel’s side.“But he’s like… a sloth. How do you expect him to host anything?” Right after I asked that, DongLim walked to the kitchen to pick something up from the freezer. He picked up a bottle of water, which was not frozen, but I could tell it was really cold. He walked back to the living room. I was about to open my mouth, but Inati, who had sneaked right next to me, put his hand gently over my mouth to shush me. Jeesu and Simon walked behind the couch as well. The five of us were just standing there, staring at the sleeping Daniel quietly. DongLim slowly opened the bottle cap and counted to three with his fingers. On three, he poured the literally ice cold water on poor Daniel. He rolled over in shock and fell to the floor. DongLim continued to pour the water on him and stopped when the bottle was empty. Poor, wet Daniel stared at us in shock as we almost choked laughing.“What the hell, hyung??!” he shouted from the floor. Simon took a hold on my wrist.“This point where we run for our lives” he whispered. We all started to run to our rooms while Daniel was still struggling to get up. I ran into Jeesu’s room and flopped onto Daniel’s bed. I hid under his blankets. Soon, the angry Daniel came into the room and sat on the edge of the bed.“Hmm… I wonder why bed looks so lumpy” he said loudly while patting my body through the blankets.  I giggled silently as Daniel pulled the blankets off and pulled me into a hug.“AAAH there you are sweetie! I thought I lost you!” he shouted with exaggerated  happiness. He was wet and the tight hug was totally uncomfortable.“Don’t punish me! DongLim did it! Let me go you wet sloth!” I screamed as I tried to escape his grip. His grip slowly loosened.“Aigoo this little girl. You are so cute” he pinched my cheeks.“Since when do you use Korean when you’re talking to me? Besides, look at me! My pajama is wet because of you!” I complained. Daniel pushed his bottom lip out and tried to look sad. I patted his head.“Sorry, sorry” I said. Daniel pulled me into another hug and sneaked to the door. He opened the door carefully and peeked out.“Where’s DongLim?” he cooed.～Some hours later I was watching as the boys were filming Gurupop. They seemed to have a genuinely good time. When they were done, Jeesu, DongLim, Simon and Inati quickly disappeared into their dressing room. Daniel and his co-host walked over to me. I got up from my seat.“You guys are weird. After these three hours watching you guys, I can honestly say that" I told Daniel. He grinned.“I definitely agree” his co-host told me, smiling.“Oh, right, San E, this is Marie. Marie, San E” Daniel introduced us. I lightly shook his hand.“So you must be the lucky girl who gets to live with Daniel” San E grinned. I nodded.“Well, you get to work with him. Lucky you” I laughed back at him.“Does he have such a bad sense of humor at home too?” San E asked me. Daniel’s ears were burning red.“No. It’s even worse.” Daniel’s whole head turned red as we kept teasing him.“Alright, I think we better leave Danny alone or his head will explode” I playfully poked Daniel’s cheek.～“Hey Marie, do you want to watch Avengers with us?” Jeesu asked me later that night. I stretched my arms and shook my head.“Thanks but I’m pretty tired. I think I’ll just go to bed” I answered.“Come on, just for a little while” he whined like little kid.“Fine, but I’ll sit on the couch” I said as I dove in for the couch. I piled some pillows into Jeesu’s lap and rested my head on them. Simon threw a blanket over me and I smiled as a thank you. Jeesu put his hand on my shoulder. Not before long, my eyes started to close and I fell asleep in Jeesu’s lap.～“MARIE!!” someone screamed the next morning. I woke up in my bed, looking around to see who was yelling. The boys ran in to my bedroom.“Marie, you got mail!” Daniel yelled as he fell to my bed. The others followed him. I slowly got up as I was still too sleepy to talk. Daniel offered me an envelope. I took it from him and examined it. Where could I possibly get mail from? I wondered to myself. I felt five pairs of eyes staring at me. I slowly opened the envelope and pulled out a thick pile of papers. The first one was written with a computer and it only had a couple sentences.“Marie I hope this letter finds you well. This is some information about your birthparents that they wanted you to have. They also wrote you a letter, which is also included.Ms. Green”I put the first paper down and started to look through the other ones. One of the papers presented a family tree, others had some birth certificates and other information and the last one was the letter. I felt someone resting their chin against my shoulder.“Do you mind?” I said, surprised at my annoyed tone. I turned around to see DongLim with a sad face.“I’m sorry. I’d just prefer to read this on my own” I told the boys. They left one by one and closed the door behind them. I felt bad for being like that but started to read the letter anyways.
