Minho's photo appears on the phone screen.
"Looks like a cinnamon roll, could kill you"
Swipe left, Seungmin's photo appears right after Minho's.
"Looks like they could kill you, is a cinnamon roll"
Next, Yongbok's photo appears.
"Looks like they could kill you, would kill you"
Changbin hissed as he tilts his head, not very satisfied with Chan's categorization. He swipes to the right twice, and Minho's photo reappears. The little brother looks at him in confusion, waiting for a response.
"Woah, you're really bad at sorting this out. Our little sister? 'Could kill you, would kill you'?" Changbin complains while sending a side-eye at Chan. Chan gasps dramatically.
"She would! She is actually really scary! Yesterday, she told Channie that she wants to ask her parents for a real life skeleton as her new toy to sleep with!" He defends himself, almost standing up from the bench out of eagerness.
"That's because she likes science. What do you even know?" Changbin rolls his eyes. Then, the brothers keep on arguing about Chan's arrangement.
"Auntie Minho is surely 'could kill you, would kill you', Chan-ah"
"But aunie has bunny teeth and auntie is really pretty"
"And what did you say? Uncle Seungmin is 'could kill you, is a cinnamon roll'?"
"Uncle Seungmin is really sweet and nice. Channie loves to hug Uncle Seungmin. That's why Uncle Seungmin is actually a cinnamon roll"
"You can't even say cinnamon roll correctly, dude. What is cinnamorrol?"
"I said it better than you-"
Suddenly, their bickering ends abruptly as both of them look at the counters of the grocery stores. They are currently waiting for their parents and their uncle's family to finish buying stuff, that is when the big brother suggests the little brother to do that social media challenge that he found. They are waiting at the exit, so they get to see the view so clearly.
It is a long queue, and someone cuts the line right in front of their mother. Hyunjin gasps dramatically, sending a glare to the man right away.
"Excuse me? You should queue properly! We've been waiting in a long line" Hyunjin doesn't think twice to tap on the guy's shoulder and speaks up, flinching her husband at the side. The guy that cut the line is way bigger than the couple, with a musculin body and broad shoulder, so of course, Jisung gets panicked.
"Mom is a 'cinnamon roll, could kill you'. Write it down" Changbin whispers to his little brother, and Chan quickly types it down on Changbin's phone as they continue to observe the situation.
As expected, the guy turns around, showing off his scary reaction to intimidate whoever dare to pinpoint his behavior. Jisung's eyes widen at how scary that guy looks, and quickly he holds Hyunjin's shoulders as he fakes a laugh.
"Ayy, my love. He must be in a hurry. Just let him pay first" Jisung tries to end the situation right away, but that just makes Hyunjin is more furious. She looks at her husband in disbelief.
"Dad looks like cinnamon roll, is a scaredy cat" Changbin reports, shaking his head. Chan nods as he types it down.
"Cinnamon roll, is a sca-" Chan stops, frowning at the statement because it sounds wrong. "There's no category like that"
"My love, is he the only one in a hurry? It's a busy world! Everyone is in a hurry! But do you see anyone else cut the line? Hm? He thinks this is his world? Are we living in his world?!" Hyunjin nags, almost sounds like a rap and every single sentence just make Jisung more panicked than before. He tries to interrupt his wife but Hyunjin is too occupied with her annoyance. At that point, the guy takes a step closer to the couple, folding his arms to make his muscles look bigger. The couple immediately silence, look at him as they unconsciously lean away.
"If I still want to cut the line, then what? What are you going to do about it, young lady?" He asks, voice deeper than the centre of the earth. Jisung already shuts his eyes tightly, chanting 'spare my life' under his breath while Hyunjin doesn't look scared at all as she replies.
"I won't do anything" she answers calmly, but then she steps aside as she continues
"But they will"
Behind her, there is a grocery cart belong to her sister-in-law. There she is. The Lee Minho. Changbin and Chan gasp like they are watching a movie. Their aunt seems to go through her cart, unbothered, while her daughter gasps at the sight of the big guy.
"Wow! Namja! Looks at those muscles! I love them!" Yongbok cheers innocently as she claps her hands to give her full support to the guy's physical appearance.
"Bokkie is definitely cinnamon roll, cinnamon roll" Changbin finalizes. Chan heaves a sigh as he defeatedly type it down.
"Why does she has to act so angelic at this time..." he mumbles with gritted teeth.
The rude guy gets confused for a bit, because he is seeing a pregnant woman with her cute little daughter. He almost wonders if Hyunjin mistook the person but she looks confident about it, so he must be seeing it correctly. He ends up chuckling, his arrogance boosts right away.
"What can a pregnant lady do to me? Ask for pity?" He mocks. Shortly after that, a guy appears next to the pregnant lady while talking to his phone.
"There might be a fight happening at the address I just sent you. Help me settle it up. Do me a favour, hm, Detective Choi? Thanks" Seungmin says calmly, then he ends the call. By that time, Minho finally makes a decision as she takes a packet of meatballs and she looks at the rude guy.
"How are we doing this, Bob The Builder? You want it the easy way or the hard way?" Minho asks, tilting her head.
Changbin and Chan gasp again, so deeply it is almost comical, and the little brother types down so fast.
'Auntie Minho and Uncle Seungmin:
SUPERHEROES!!'
- The End -
Bonus :
"I can't believe it worked. Did he really think we lived in a drama?" Seungmin chuckles and shaking his head while his wife is almost dead from laughing too much. They are retelling the story to the grandparents right after they got home. All adults seem to look so excited with the fact that the rude guy surrendered and went to the back of the line before there was any fighting scene happening.
"I was actually really scared too, I could give birth right there and then! This idiot passed the problem to us after starting it!" Minho rants between her laugh while pointing at Hyunjin. The sister-in-law is also dying from laughter, she can't even talk. Jisung takes his chance to say his point of view.
"I was actually scared too, at first. But then, I was like 'huh? Why are they acting so cool out of nowhere?'" he acts out his confusion, putting on his startle hamster look, and it makes the two wives laugh even harder, Minho has to hold her baby bump as she feels it hurt from laughing.
The grandparents ask for more details and the adults have so much fun talking about it in the kitchen, not realising how the grandsons of the family are watching them from the dining table. Changbin looks so not amused, and he heaves a heavy sigh.
"Chan-ah, let's just delete the whole note, shall we?" He says halfheartedly before he heaves a defeated sigh. It takes him five seconds to realise that his little brother doesn't reply.
"Channie?" He turns to his side, realising now that Chan is not even looking at the adults. Chan looks terrified, and his trembling hand points out towards the living room.
"H-Hyung... L-Look..."
Changbin freezes, as he and Chan watch Yongbok all by herself in the living room, staring emptily at the TV that is playing the advertisements at that time. That is not scary. The scary part is that she is holding the bunny plush in her hand really tightly, that it ripped apart and the cotton is bursting out of the seams like blood splurting out of one's body. It barely looks like a bunny anymore.
Changbin gasps in horror, while Chan is trying his very best to hold his tears from spilling.
Maybe Chan is right. Maybe Yongbok could kill you, and would kill you after all.
The End <3
