Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas-Chapter 199: Then, Hyung, will you be the referee?

Ki-hoon mustn’t have expected Jin-Yeok to actually get a turn with me. But as much as he was jealous, he was relieved that it wasn’t something that was done against my will.

"So, how was work?" I asked, happy about the fact that I seemed taller than him for the first time and I had him resting on me this time and not me resting on him.

"It was fine, but I wish I’d stayed home instead." He said and I laughed. "I missed you, Jo-Pil." He said.

He sounded like we hadn’t seen each other for weeks and we saw each other that morning before he left.

They were already working on their corporation so they were both busy, Ki-hoon and Min-Cheol. And so, I expected them to return home late but look at this, Ki-hoon was back early.

"I missed you too, Hyung." I said, hugging him warmly.

The next day was Sunday, so they could rest and since I was fine now, Min-Cheol could teach me the sports like we decided on.

We were starting with basketball and while I wasn’t a fan of basketball, I wasn’t even tall, I was looking forward to it.

’I’ll probably watch my masters play like real professionals, right?’ I giggled.

"What’s so funny?" Ki-hoon asked.

"Oh, it’s nothing major. Do you know how to play basketball?" I asked him.

"Oh, is this about the basketball court Min-Cheol is building?" He asked and I nodded.

It was under construction, but I’m pretty sure it should be done by now, since Min-Cheol only let me know that he decided to build a basketball court as well as other sport-related floors while I was recovering from my burn.

"Yes, I can play." He said. "Do you want to watch me play?"

Do I? I’ll prepare my popcorn and my glow stick, ah no. It’ll be in the day so glow sticks won’t work. Then, I’ll get my pompoms, haha.

Now I should probably come up with a scheme to get you all to play together tomorrow.

I don’t consider myself a sports person but this is exciting.

"Does it excite you that much?" Ki-hoon asked as he watched the big grin on my lips and then kissed my cheeks.

I smiled.

"Yeah, I’m looking forward to it."

Knowing I was looking forward to it gave Ki-hoon the boost to do very well in the game. He wanted to impress me.

During dinner, I ate a double portion of what I regularly eat. It’s probably thanks to skipping lunch. And during dessert, I brought it up.

"Do any of you have plans tomorrow?" I asked. They were already looking at me as I ate my ice cream so I had their attention.

"What’s the occasion?" Jin-Yeok asked.

"We have to check out the court tomorrow, Hyung." Min-Cheol said.

"Well, yes." I said. "That’s what I wanna talk about. It’s finished now, right?"

"Yes, it is." Min-Cheol answered, trying to figure out what I was planning.

Well, he didn’t need to keep wondering because I was going to say it right away. fгeewebnovёl.com

"Then can you all play basketball?" I asked, smiling widely. "It’ll be very fun to watch."

"You want to watch us play basketball?" Seo-Jun asked and I nodded my head like an excited puppy.

This discussion did not take long since they weren’t busy and decided to play and entertain me. Though, I didn’t exactly say I was doing this for my own entertainment, anyone would know from the wide grin on my lips that that was what I was looking forward to.

"Fine, Hyung. Let’s do that." Min-Cheol said, happy about the idea.

Though I was sure he was excited to have the day with me while he taught me sports but he must’ve realized it wouldn’t be fun to teach me something like basketball if it was just him.

If there were others to contend with him then it would make the lessons faster and easier to understand.

And even if I don’t get the hang of it, this was practically a chance for him to show off his superiority when it came to sports.

"Then, Hyung, will you be the referee?" He asked. "You don’t have to do anything but blow the whistle when you sense foul play." He suddenly suggested and my eyes lit up.

"Yes please."

I guess no pompoms. But whoever said the referee doesn’t hold pompoms? I’ll be the whistle-blowing cheerleader, haha.

"Your ice cream is melting," Ki-hoon said and I snapped out of it. I couldn’t let my precious ice cream melt away.

I began to scoop up the melted part of the ice cream and sipped it from my spoon. But as I did this, I noticed Seo-Jun’s eyes on me.

He had his elbow on the table and dropped his chin on his arm, watching me out in broad daylight and not even trying to mask his interest.

Though, the expression on his face didn’t hint at anything as he looked rather curious than anything else.

His eyes met mine but he did not look away. Rather, he smirked and I was the one who ended up looking away, suddenly embarrassed.

What was going through that thick skull of his?

He wasn’t teasing me in his mind, was he?

I ended up thinking about how he asked me out and my cheeks burned. I didn’t feel it then but I was feeling it now.

Gosh, I have been single all my life so don’t blame me for suddenly blushing at the memory of the most unpredictable character asking me out on a date.

Seriously, even Min-Cheol was not that straightforward.

"What’s wrong with your face, Jo-Pil?" Jin-Yeok asked since he was equally watching me, they all were, as if I were some sort of showpiece.

I shook my head and darted my eyes downwards a bit.

"It’s nothing." I said, but just saying that wouldn’t convince someone like Jin-Yeok. "I just recalled a random memory."

As soon as I said that, his lips twisted a bit and then formed a grin.

"Is that so?" He asked and I raised my gaze to see that knowing grin on his lips. "I see."

What was with him? What memory does he think I suddenly rec--?

My thoughts froze for a moment as I realized that I had done something like ’that’ with him and he could easily misunderstand that the memory I recalled was ’that’.

My face burned even more.

This was even more embarrassing.

"Jo-Pil?"

My reaction got them on high alert, but the one enjoying this situation was Jin-Yeok, who had caused it.

"I’m fine, I just..." I couldn’t even meet any of their eyes. I was too embarrassed. I pushed my chair back and got up. "I think I’ll go to bed now. Good night." I said and ran away.

They watched me run, and I have to admit, I looked like a mouse that had just stolen a piece of cheese. Funny to watch and very quick on my feet.

It made them laugh, rather than stare in worry and I thought they were laughing at how silly I looked. Well, that was why they were laughing but still.

"I wonder what got Hyung rushing off," Min-Cheol asked out loud, clearing his throat to stop his laughter.

"Who knows?" Ki-hoon answered.

Seo-Jun got up first and said,

"Well, I don’t want to keep seeing your faces so I’ll leave first." He said, tucking his hands in his pocket. "Oh and..." He grinned with a mocking gaze as he added, "...you guys better watch out cause I’m so gonna kick your asses."

I rushed off to my room and then dove into my bed.

My own thoughts were making me embarrassed and causing me to do a bunch of crazy stuff.

It made my face flush, my heart thump and my lips quiver. I wasn’t even excited, yet I was feeling this way.

I definitely needed help somewhere.

*Knock knock.*

Hm, that’s odd. They don’t usually knock on the door. Was it the maids?

The only ones I could think of that would knock and wait for my response before entering were the maids and even they didn’t do that often.

"Who is it?" I asked as I got down from the bed and headed for the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I came face to face with a pink teddy that was fatter than me, apparently, staring at me with its beady eyes that mocked me for my skinny nature.

Welp, I was exaggerating it quite a lot but I couldn’t help it. I felt the teddy was there to mock me.

But that aside... My heart thumped in excitement... It was very cute and I was tempted to cuddle it.

Before I did, though, the one holding the teddy, moved his head to the side so I could see his face and smiled at me.

"Surprise." He said. "Do you like teddies?"
