Kiku stretched luxuriously. His room, despite usually being immaculous, was littered with dirty plates, empty containers of ice cream, old soda cans, and bags of chips. Sword Art Online was playing on his high-tech computer from Korea.
He knew his parents would be furious with him if he stayed inside any longer. But they were already pissed with him, starting with the day he and his older brother, Yao, came out as gay in front of them. Kiku was still one hundred percent certain they wanted Yao to marry a girl, in order to "continue the family name." Him, not so much. Kiku was adopted anyways.
Of course, there was still Cheng and Li Xiang, the younger brothers of he and Yao. But Yao was the oldest, and that mattered.
Kiku knew he should be studying. But he was still depressed over his old boyfriend. Kiku had been certain their love was authentic, but one day, he found out his boyfriend had cheated on him. With a girl.
Kiku's ex had been his first kiss, his first date, his first time being really open to anyone other than Mei or Yao. And then he cheats on him, and doesn't even have the audacity to apologize! Yao, Yong Soo, and Hyung Soo had beat his ex up, of course, but that didn't solve anything.
Kiku was still miserable.
He patted around his desk for a box of pocky, but came up with nothing.
"Perfect," Kiku thought bitterly, "I'll have to go downstairs and get another lecture from my parents."
Sighing, he trudged to his door and went out, skipping steps down the stairs, still in his "say hey if youre gay" t-shirt that Yong Soo had gotten him as a joke, and batman boxers (again courtesy of Yong Soo).
As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he was greeted by a sight.
Why does no one tell him when there were people over?
In front of him, his parents and Yao were conversing with eight people.
Eight people.
And they were all staring at him.
There was a blond person with punk-looking hair and weirdly thick eyebrows, who was dressed in a suit. An Indian man, also dressed in a suit. Kiku recognized him as one of Yao's friends. Next to Eyebrows, there was a handsome man with a stubble and chin-length blond hair. Off in the corner, there were two other boys, about the age of the Korean twins, who had apparently inherited the large Eyebrows of Punk-hair. Staring awkwardly at him was a dark-skinned girl in a blue dress. And next to the girl was-
"Dear God," Kiku thought, "He's perfect."
He was slightly muscular, like a high school jock, with sky-blue eyes and a youthful, open face. He had blond hair, and a cute-looking cowlick. Lazily dressed a suit, with the jacket unbuttoned and tie crooked, he looked incredibly handsome.
And there was nobody else, which confused Kiku. He was almost certain he had counted eight people, not seven. He check again. Sure enough, there were eight people. But he could only see seven! Was this like in anime? Was it a ghost?
"Kiku!" Hs father shrieked, shattering Kiku from his musings, "你在这里干嘛呢?我们现在有客人,还是特别重要的客人呢!你穿着啥呢?我就知道我不应该收养你。哎呀,王耀为什么要把你带坏来呢?你这个小-"
"Hey," The hot one piped up.

Based on an "imagine your OTP" that I found. Cheng is Macau, and Li Xiang is Hong Kong. All of the guests were part of the Eyebrows family, except for the one with the stubble. That one's 法国. Yes, I know some of you can't read Chinese. But it's obvious (at least, I hope so. Otherwise my description skills suck).
Also, Ameripan is life!
