“For the last time, I do NOT believe in aliens!” KiBum fumed, glaring at his math book and wondering whether it would be an effective enough weapon to shut HyukJae up. The older male hadn’t left him alone. He turned his pleading gaze to SiWon beside him. “Hyung, please get him away from me before I pull a HeeChul and dent his head in.” He was running out of patience, and for KiBum that was rare.
SiWon sighed softly. “HyukJae Hyung, let’s go see if he can spot someone for KangIn. I’ll help you.” With a large amount of coaxing he finally managed to lead the monkey-boy away. KiBum sighed softly. He couldn’t bring himself to be annoyed at DongHae for inventing something as silly as believing in aliens. Somehow, it seemed to fit DongHae perfectly.
A week had passed after DongHae arrived. Everyone was glad to see that the boy was fitting in remarkably, talking with not only KyuHyun and RyeoWook but with KiBum, HyukJae and KanKyung on occasion. He never talked to SiWon though, more than a few words before he invented some excuse to leave the area.
RyeoWook noticed this first, and took the time to ask DongHae what he thought about SiWon. He watched the older males face for a reaction. “He’s very nice, very gentlemanly,” DongHae said, going bright red at the questions.
“Do you like him?”
“W-what?” DongHae stared at the smaller boy. “You mean in the same way you like KyuHyunnie? That kind of like?”
RyeoWook nodded.
“I-I… I’m not sure.” DongHae appeared puzzled by this. He had never considered the possibility that he was behaving like this because he liked SiWon. It gave him something to think about.
“Hey, you’re the new kid, right?”
They both looked up to see a skinny, feminine-looking male walk towards them, hair bright red and eye-catching. He nodded towards RyeoWook, who smiled faintly. “HeeChul hyung,” He said in reply.
HeeChul turned his attention back to DongHae. “Right,” DongHae said, confused.
“Great. Listen up, there’s going to be a party in a weeks time at one of the downtown clubs.” Everyone knew HeeChul hosted the best parties, even RyeoWook went sometimes even though he didn’t like parties where drinking and dirty dancing may be involved.
“Everyone’s going to be there, and I mean everyone. You in or out?” HeeChul had a brisk, sharp nature, tapping one foot impatiently as he waited from DongHae’s answer.
“I guess so?”
“Good. RyeoWook?” He turned to RyeoWook.
“I’ll go if KyuHyun’s going,” The smaller boy said softly.
“Since he already agreed to come, I’ll take that as a yes. It’s at the usual place; make sure our new alien boy doesn’t get lost trying to find it.” With that HeeChul was gone again, much like a mini-whirlwind.
DongHae blinked several times. “Okay?” Then he brightened. “A party? This’ll be fun, right RyeoWookie?”
RyeoWook nodded. “Wonder if SiWon’s going to go this time…”
“Si-SiWon?” DongHae asked, wide eyed.
“Yeah. He usually declines invitations to one of HeeChul’s parties, but HeeChul hyung’s been very persistent lately. He might agree this time.”
DongHae bit his lower lip, promising himself that he wouldn’t drink too much. He didn’t want to act like an idiot in front of SiWon. He said goodbye to RyeoWook, and left to look for the others.

“Hyung, why do you have to torment KiBum?” SiWon asked with a sigh as they walked around the campus. It wasn’t easy to find someone for KangIn, as the girls they passed were either already with someone or just not right for the intimidating-yet-really-soft-on-the-inside male.
“Because it’s fun?” HyukJae said with a shrug, as if that explained everything. And for him it probably did. So SiWon sighed, and was about to change the subject when someone crashed full force into HyukJae, dropping all the papers he was holding.
“Oh, I’m sorry!” Exclaimed the tall, skinny male from his new position on the ground. His long legs were now tangled with HyukJae’s, and as the monkey boy tried to get back up he tripped and fell back onto his face, making SiWon laugh and the other boy apologize even more.
“It’s okay,” HyukJae muttered into the grass, sitting up. “Watch where you’re walking next time though.”
The boy laughed, standing up and freeing HyukJae’s legs as he did so. “Sorry, I couldn’t see where I was going,” He said with a high-pitched laugh.
There was something about the boy that caught SiWon’s interest. “What’s your name?” He asked.
“LeeTeuk. Why?” The boy blinked at them, and his eyes widened behind his glasses. “Oh, you guys are those Matchermakers! Right?”
“Right!” HyukJae said proudly.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you,” LeeTeuk said, gathering up his papers again.
“Need help?” SiWon asked, noting how many papers there were.
“I… I think so,” LeeTeuk admitted sheepishly. So HyukJae and SiWon each took a large pile from the boy, and followed him as he walked off.

YeSung and SungMin soon found themselves cornered by HeeChul, demanding that they come to his party. “I don’t know,” YeSung said hesitantly. SungMin looked at him pleadingly; he wanted to go. But of course, he didn’t want to go alone. Seeing his crush looking at him with puppy eyes, YeSung sighed softly. “…Alright.” He knew he was going to regret this. “Now will you stop following us?”
They stepped around the corner, into the boys locker room. To their surprise, they found KyuHyun and RyeoWook in there, kissing in a corner. When a soft moan came from the smaller boy, HeeChul whistled. “You know, if you’re really looking for a good make-out spot I’ve got dozens of better ideas than a public locker room,” He commented wrily.
KyuHyun released RyeoWook with a light cough, blushing hard. YeSung scowled. “Kim RyeoWook! Am I going to have to give you the talk about safe sex now?” He marched over and grabbed his younger cousin, towing him out of the room with RyeoWook protesting, “It was just a kiss hyung!”
“A kiss leads to other things, and it seemed to me from the way your BOYFRIEND’s hand was moving elsewhere you both were inclined in that direction!”
KyuHyun sweatdropped. “Um…”
HeeChul winked at him. “Better go save your boyfriend before YeSung chews him out.” KyuHyun left quickly after the two cousins.
SungMin’s face fell a bit. He still hadn’t gotten over KyuHyun completely. But it was starting to hurt less on the rare occasion he noticed the two acting romantic. This was the first time he’d walked in on them doing something like this though. They were very conservative with their relationship at school, doing little more than hold hands, smile and the occasional kiss. But it still hurt.
“Hey. Don’t look all glum, bunny-boy.” HeeChul clapped him on the shoulder, before walking away. “If you’d pay attention to anyone besides KyuHyun, you’d see there is someone waiting for you, with open arms.” With that, HeeChul was gone, leaving SungMin alone to ponder just what the boy meant.
