The next morning Jongup went to school early to meet his new friends. When he reached the gate he saw a familiar blond with an unfamiliar… white haired boy?
Was that even allowed? Who was with Youngjae? They were too far away and Jongup refused to yell so he did the next best thing, “Youngjae!”
The blond stopped walking and faced Jongup, “Yes?” he heard in his head.
“Wait up! And who are you walking with?” Jongup thought running up to the pair.
“Who do you think it is?” Youngjae said out loud as soon as Jongup was in talking distance.
“Do I really look that different?” Jongup recognized the voice. The other male finally turned around and Jongup gasped.
“Himchan! What did you do to your hair?”
Himchan smiled sheepishly, “I didn’t do anything. I have to color my hair black every day to cover the white. Even the permanent color washes off. I didn’t want to color it any more. Besides, Zelo has the same problem. That punk just doesn’t cover it up.”
Youngjae laughed at Jongup’s confused face, “You thought Zelo was a rebel? Your doors are open.”
“Well yeah… I didn’t know it was natural. I also didn’t know I had to lock my doors.”
Jongup felt a strong arm on his shoulders, “you are always supposed to lock your doors and your windows.” And unmistakable deep voice came from the boy beside him, “Nice hair Himchan. I haven’t seen you like this in a long time.” Yongguk looked at Youngjae, “congrats.”
Youngjae blushed, “shut up hyung.” He hugged Himchan, “Owe, Zelo shut up.”
“But it’s exciting!” Zelo’s voice came from behind Jongup and Yongguk, “Yongguk-hyung let go of Jongup-hyung! You’re too rough!”
Yongguk laughed, “I am not!”
“Speak for yourself, liar,” came Daehyun’s quiet, masked voice.
“Ewe hyung!”
“Zelo I’m not made of glass!”
“But-”
“I’m ok Zelo!”
Zelo pouted, “If you say so.”
Youngjae smirked, “so protective.”
Zelo huffed, “I am not! Hyung just has weak bones and Yongguk-hyung is too barbaric!”
“Hey!”
Jongup let out a laugh, “Zelo you’re cute! I’m going to class now. I’ll see y’all later!”
Jongup didn’t see the blue haired boy blush but the hyungs did.
“Someone has a crush!” Himchan said in a sing-song voice.
“Do not!” Zelo whined.
“Please stop denying it, Zelo. Your thoughts are so loud I’m surprised Daehyun can’t hear them.”
“Daehyun-hyung can’t even read minds!” Zelo huffed.
“Exactly”
Zelo frowned, “whatever hyung, I’m going to class. Have fun and watch your PDA!”
The elder boys watched Zelo run off,” so how long ‘til those two get together?” Daehyun spoke up behind Yongguk.
Himchan jumped, “Stop doing that!”
“What?”
I give them two weeks,” Youngjae said ignoring Himchan.

When the bell rang for last period rang Zelo was literally jumping on his heels waiting for his shortest hyung to walk into gym that afternoon. His smile doubled in size when he saw Jongup walk into the gym and strait up to him.
“Hi hyung! Let’s go get changed!” Zelo gently grabbed Jongup’s hand and ran into the locker room. He looked around to make sure all of the other students were not in the room before turning to Jongup, “Ok hyung no one’s here you can change!”
Jongup gave the younger boy a sheepish smile before turning around and taking off his shirt. Jongup couldn’t help but stare at the perfect pair of white wings, and he also couldn’t help but lower his gaze when Jongup took off his pants… Zelo felt his face turn red when he realized that he was staring at a half-naked Jongup and he himself didn’t have a shirt on.
The next thing he did was purely instinctual. He turned and ran into one of the stalls; slamming the door behind him.
Jongup jumped and turned around looking for Zelo, “Zelo? Where’d you go?”
“I-I needed to use the bathroom hyung. You go ahead and I’ll meet you by the basketball court.”
Jongup shrugged his shoulders, “Ok I’ll see you out there then.”
Five minutes later, when Zelo decided he had cooled off enough, he walked out into the gym and began to look for his hyung again. When he spotted his hyung he began to fume. Who was that girl standing with HIS hyung?! She looked like she was about to explode of happiness and Jongup just looked uncomfortable. So, again, he did the most rational thing he could think of. He stormed over to the pair and wrapped an arm around Jongup’s shoulder.
“Hyung let’s go play!” Zelo said in Jongup’s ear. Zelo thought he felt his short hyung shiver, but quickly decided that it was his imagination.
“Ok Zelo,” he turned to the girl, “Do you want to play with us…?”
The girl looked between an innocent Jongup and glaring Zelo and quickly shook her head no.
Zelo smiled and pulled Jongup to the other side of the court and grabbing a ball along the way.

After school Jongup and Zelo met the hyungs at the gate; like they did the day before. Youngjae was the first to look at them of course and his smile became a frown. Jongup was curious; he even mentally asked Youngjae but received no answer. He just shrugged it away and they walked to Yongguk’s house again. Today they just studied and ate cookies that Yongguk’s mother made and talked some more.
Jongup couldn’t help but notice Youngjae give him and Zelo looks. But every time he would question it Youngjae would shrug and ignore him. It was kind of frustrating really.
A few hours later everyone left Yongguk’s house and made their way to their own homes. One by one they peeled away from the group. The only one that was still with Jongup when he reached his turn off was Youngjae. He decided now would be a good time to ask what was on his mind out loud.
“Hyung why do you keep looking at me and Zelo?”
Youngjae looked nervous, “You two seem really close for knowing each other for only a day.”
Jongup smiled, “Zelo’s a nice person.”
Youngjae smirked, “Isn’t it a little too soon to have a crush on the kid?”
Jongup’s face turned red, “Shut up hyung.”
Youngjae chuckled, “It’s cute.”
Jongup rolled his eyes, face still red, “Whatever hyung.”
Not long after Jongup turned onto his street and waved a goodbye to Youngjae.
That night he sent another text to Zelo telling him to have sweet dreams. He did wonder if it really was too soon to have feelings for the younger boy but quickly dismissed the thought. The only feelings he had for Zelo were the friendly kind.

Three weeks later the hyungs were beside themselves with frustration over the two maknaes. It was painfully obvious that the two were attracted to each other and they didn’t know how to make it even more obvious than it already was. Well Youngjae could just flat out tell the two what was going on in each other’s head, but that ruin all the fun.
Zelo already knew Jongup was gay but he didn’t know if the short hyung was interested in him. He wanted to confess but he was afraid that the older boy would reject him. He did, however, hear a soft voice from time to time telling him to confess. And that voice sounded strangely like Youngjae’s. But then again he could be hearing things.
One afternoon he decided to go over to Jongup’s house and see if he wanted to hang out. When he reached his house he was about to nervously nock on the door but Jongup’s dad opened the door with a frown.
“Zelo? Come in Jongup’s in his room.”
Zelo bowed quickly thanking him and he ran up the stairs. He took a deep breath before opening the door. His breathing stopped when he saw Jongup standing with his back to the door, dancing.
Zelo felt time stop. He watched his hyung’s fluid movements and couldn’t move.
Jongup turned around. He saw Zelo and immediately stopped dancing, “Hey Zelo.”
Zelo being the rational and cool person he was took three long strides to Jongup and crashed their lips together.
Zelo felt the smaller boy gasp, but lean into him. He began to slowly back away from Jongup; like he was backing away from an angry bear. Before he could remove his lips from the smaller boy, he felt Jongup’s arms wrap around his neck and pull him closer.
He opened his eyes and saw Jongup’s eyes closed and smiled inwardly. He brought the smaller boy closer to him and backed up and sat on the bed. The next thing he knew Jongup was sitting on his lap and the door crashed open.
Jongup jumped up off of his lap, white as his wings. “D-dad…”
His dad looked at the pair and smiled, “Jongup you’re an idiot.” Jongup’s face paled more than Zelo thought was possible, “You could have told me Zelo was your boyfriend, or at least told me you were gay.”
Jongup’s mouth hit the floor, “H-how-”
“Zelo has very loud thoughts,” His dad turned to Zelo, “I’m sorry I tried to ignore you but really, you’re always thinking way too loud about my son.”
Zelo smiled sheepishly, “I’m sorry sir.”
Jongup’s dad smiled, “Its ok, maybe Jongup should teach you how to put your thoughts behind doors. It’s a good way to keep people out.”
Jongup and Zelo both blushed while Jongup’s dad turned around and left, closing the door behind him, “please don’t deflower my son under this roof Zelo.” They both blushed.
Jongup nervously sat beside Zelo, “So…”
“We have your dad’s blessing.” Zelo smirked.
“Yeah,” He smiled and leaned into Zelo’s chest, “So I guess it’s safe to ask you out right?”
Zelo’s smirk became a face splitting smile, “I thought you’d never ask.”
