“I was almost late for work because of you!”
Jiyong chuckled into his phone and shrugged his shoulders. “You're job, not mine,” he replied. “I'm doing my job right now!”
“You never did tell me what you did for a living. You only mentioned that you had a job now.”
“You'll find out soon enough,” Jiyong teased. He loved hearing Seunghyun's voice, especially after a night like they had.
He heard Seunghyun sigh on the other line and Jiyong's smile grew. “When will I see you next?” Seunghyun asked and Jiyong had to hold himself back from commenting on how cute Seunghyun sounded.
“Probably whenever you're free,” Jiyong mused. He didn't know Seunghyun's schedule well, yet, but from what he knew, the man had two jobs, two more than Jiyong wanted.
“Probably this weekend,” Seunghyun replied. “I've got the day job from Mondays to Fridays, and the only day I have off for my second job is Sunday.”
“I can't go that long without you!” Jiyong yelled with shock. “How do you expect me to be alive by the end of the week without you?”
He heard Seunghyun chuckle on the other line and he knew the man was smiling. “I'm sure we can work something out,” he answered. I don't like the idea of being without you either, so you're not alone on that.”
Jiyong smiled into the phone and allowed himself to close his eyes. Talking with Seunghyun was soothing, something that wasn't expected. Calling once or twice a day might have been fine for Jiyong, but he knew that Seunghyun wanted a little more. And who was abject to that?
“It's only Monday,” he whined. “Why do you have to have two jobs?”
“To help Minho go through school,” Seunghyun replied matter-of-factly. Jiyong rolled his eyes, but he inwardly admitted to himself that it was sweet of Seunghyun.
“How is Taemin?”
“He and Minho went to school this morning. We'll see what happens when Minho gets back this afternoon. Did you know that Taemin asked if he could call me 'hyung'?”
“That's so cute!” Jiyong squealed. “He's too cute!”
Seunghyun chuckled and Jiyong opened his eyes too look around his 'office.' In reality, it was just the kitchen table where he had put all his papers, but he was treating it like his office. The papers were all for his father's corporation that he was going to inherit soon, but it was not something he would look forward to. He wanted to laze around the house. To play housewife.
The thought of playing housewife to Seunghyun appealed to Jiyong greatly. To see him off to work, to welcome him home, then welcome Minho home. It all seemed like a perfect little family and Jiyong wanted that so much.
“I guess I'll see you sometime this week,” Seunghyun concluded.
“I hope soon,” Jiyong replied and they ended the conversation.
Jiyong closed his phone and placed it on top of a stack of papers as a paperweight. He sighed and returned back to the letter he had been writing for some other business that wanted to merge with his, but he was too distracted to care.
“How is it going with your new boyfriend?”
Jiyong looked up to see Seungri in the doorway into the kitchen. “Quite the opposite of how well you're doing with your love conquest,” Jiyong replied coldly. Seungri glared at him before moving into the kitchen. He picked at the fridge for something to wat and settled with bottle of water.
“You really do hate me, don't you?” Seungri asked seriously.
“It's not my fault you fell in love with Youngbae,” Jiyong replied.
“I've loved him longer than he's been with that bitch.” Jiyong was used to this. The Seungri that he used to know was so carefree and happy. He loved everyone no matter who they were. But then Youngbae had gotten himself a girlfriend and life had gone downhill from there.
“I told you that you should have told him.”
“It's not like if I told him now he would just stand up and leave her,” Seungri admitted. His eyes drifted down to his hand and he frowned. “But I think I'm going to tell him anyway. I can't stand being around him while he makes out with her anymore. I'm thinking about moving out.”
“Where will you go?” Jiyong asked curiously.
“Well, I can't go back with my family because they hate me. For being such a playboy, I guess. I might look into an apartment in the city.”
Jiyong could hear the pain clear as day in Seungri's voice, but he didn't comment on it. “I can let you stay here while you find a place,” he told the other. “There are several empty rooms you can chose from.”
“Would you?” Seungri asked, face brightening up. Jiyong smiled and nodded. “Thank you so much!”
Jiyong nodded his head and looked back at his letter. “How did you find me, anyway?” Seungri smiled and shook his head.
“I've got my ways. So, I've heard through the grapevine that my brother got into trouble with the parents. I hope he gets into contact with me.”
Jiyong raised an eyebrow and looked up at Seungri. The one thing that Seungri had said he had regretted about leaving his family was that he was leaving his brother alone. He even mentioned that his brother probably hated him by now.
“What did he do?” Jiyong asked.
“Here's the good part,” Seungri replied with a bright smile, almost as if he were proud. “He told the folks that he was gay.”

“What was your brother like?”
Taemin looked up from where he had been spacing off and stared at Key. “He was cool.”
Onew rolled his eyes and shook his head. “He was more than that,” he replied for the boy. “He was always idolizing his brother ever since he was little, but then high school came around and he was gone.” He looked at Taemin once before turning back to Key. “His parents told him that he had run away, but we know that's not true.”
“What do you think happened?” Minho asked from where he sat next to Taemin.
“My parents kicked him out,” Taemin replied. “They caught him making out with some guy in his room and after that, he left and never came back.”
“Kind of like what's happening to you know?” Key asked.
“Be a little sensitive!” Onew reprimanded.
“But it's true,” Taemin replied.
“You're just a lot younger,” Minho told him. “They're being irrational and they'll come to their senses.”
Taemin looked over at Minho and gave him a sad smile. “Thanks, but I'm not sure if I want them to anymore.”
><><><><
“They're so hot!”
“Are they models?”
“They're just standing there!”
“Do you think they're here for someone?”
“Do you think they're someone's brothers?”
“Boyfriends?”
“What are those girls talking about?” Onew asked at the end of the school day. The four had met up with Jonghyun in the hall and were heading towards the entrance when they heard the screaming.
“It sounds like there are three guys out there waiting on someone,” Key replied. “Older guys.”
Taemin rolled his eyes and shook his heads. “Girls,” he sighed. Minho smiled and nodded his head in agreement.
“Hey, Minho, isn't that your brother with his boyfriend?”
Minho quickly turned his head towards the gates and true to Jonghyun's words, Seunghyun stood there with Jiyong under his arm. But the third man was a mystery to the group.
“What's he doing here?” Minho wondered out loud. He turned to look at Taemin, but saw the frozen look of shock on the other boy's face and knew something was wrong. “Taemin?”
“Tha-that's my brother.”
Minho looked back at his own brother and saw they guy standing there next to the couple. “He looks nothing like you. At all.”
“That's what people always said.” Minho turned back to Taemin and grabbed his hand.
“Let's go see them,” Minho pushed as he pulled on Taemin's hand. Taemin went willingly and the two were followed by three others who were trailing behind.
“Taemin?” the man asked as the said boy came closer. “You've grown.”
“Hyung,” Taemin choked out as he broke away from Minho's hand and ran towards the man. He stopped just in front of the man only to give him a swift kick to his shins. The man groaned as he fell to his knees, and only then did Taemin reach his arms around him for a hug. “I missed you.”
