14 Hearing loud chatters from two familiar boys, Sungmin’s gaze flew to Sungjin and Jongjin merrily laughing as he munched the donut his boyfriend, who is sitting beside him, gave him. Kyuhyun, noticing his lover’s silence, looked to where the other is busy staring at, slightly smiling, “Hey, what are you thinking?”
The older didn’t answer yet and continued looking at his brother as if examining him. Then after a minute, he finally muttered, “My god, I think Sungjin likes Jongjinnie…”
“Well, Jongjin-hyung is nice and friendly.” Kyuhyun nonchalantly commented, not getting Sungmin’s point. “Not that kind of ‘like’ dork! What I meant was there is this glint in Sungjin’s eyes whenever he’s with Jongjinnie…” the black-haired whined as he pouted at his innocent boyfriend, who just raised an eyebrow at him.
Rolling his eyes, Sungmin scoffed, “Oh come on. Just look at how he smiles right now! That’s how you look like when you’re with me!”
He doesn’t know how innocent - or maybe he’s just being an idiot - Kyuhyun can get because of the latter’s reply, “Really? I look like that when I’m with yo- yah!” He already can’t control his twitchy palm.
“Oh come on, baby, why don’t you just admit it?” Kyuhyun blushed at the endearment and momentarily went speechless.
“Silence means yes~” the older teased.
However, Kyuhyun easily recovered and threw back a teasing remark, “If your brother isn’t anywhere near us, I will kiss you here ‘til you run out of breath.” Kyuhyun’s husky voice never fails to send tingles down his spine.
“Too bad~~~ catch me first~” Sungmin playfully said as he jumped off the bench and skipped a bit far away from his boyfriend.
“Are you a girl?” Kyuhyun mumbled whilst he stood up to follow his seemingly energetic boyfriend, shaking his head but a wide smile curved his lips.
Sungmin giggled and bit his lips before turning to run, only for his face to bump with Hyukjae’s. Sungmin was about to fall at the impact, but Hyukjae was quick to firmly hold his shoulders and prevent him from falling.
“Flirting with your boyfriend again?” Hyukjae said, his infamous gummy smile shows off. The older just pouted and glared at his roommate for bumping onto him, letting his lover hold his waist.
“Ming, Kyuhyun-ssi, I need your help…”
Kyuhyun and Sungmin briefly looked at each other.

It is a cold Monday morning so Lee Donghae woke up late despite his roommate’s loud alarm. Bolting from his bed, he saw Siwon already dressed for school, smiling apologetically at him.
Knowing what Donghae would say, the taller guy spoke, “I tried waking you up lots of times, but you wouldn’t budge, so I let you sleep…”
At this, the brunet rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower and dress up for school - which he did in less than ten minutes. It was actually a surprise for him that Siwon waited for him to finish even though they only have five minutes left before classes start.
“Uh, sorry I didn’t buy you breakfast because I don’t know what food you want to eat…” Siwon shyly admitted while they made big strides towards their classroom. Donghae just smiled to reassure his friend that he is not mad though his stomach is grumbling like crazy.
All sweating and panting, both reached their room exactly when the bell rang, immediately going to their seat. Donghae, after settling on his seat, threw puzzled looks on the sandwich and strawberry milk carton perched on his desk. Without asking, he knew who gave him this.
“I didn’t see you with Siwon earlier for breakfast, so I knew you were still dreaming about fishes and will not eat… Don’t worry; our first-period teacher won’t come.” Hyukjae muttered, not looking at Donghae, and is focused on the game on his iPad.
Before he could protest, his stomach made a noise again, leaving him with no choice but to eat what Hyukjae bought him.
Tuna sandwich… his favorite.
______________________________________________
Tuesday is yet another cold day in Seoul, and Donghae really felt lazy the whole time that he doesn’t want walking for too long. All he wanted to do is lay on his bed and sleep. What is he, a pregnant woman?
So, he did it inside the classroom. However, the consequence of it was that he was sent to the library after classes to help. Fuck his life. Why did the teacher have to see him?
And yeah, instead of snoring on his bed, he is now inside the library, carrying a thick layer of books in his arms. The grumpy old librarian told him to bring those to their respective shelves. The hell does he know about library stuff…
Since it truly was heavy, the books are now threatening to fall, and it made him panic for a bit, so he quickened his pace so as he could place take those off already.
Another however, even before he could reach the section where the books are supposed to be, he saw the first three books on top were about to drop.
The last however is that it didn’t reach the floor; Hyukjae caught them.
“Careful, clumsy.” The red-haired remarked with a smirk, making the smaller pout, “I’m not clumsy. These are just heavy.”
The dancer shook his head and grabbed two more books from Donghae - he was carrying ten books - earning a shocked look from the latter, but he paid it no heed and walked.
Donghae isn’t sure, but he thought he heard Sungmin giggling. Only Sungmin giggles like that.
True enough, he saw Sungmin and Kyuhyun on one of the tables, shortly grinning at him before pretending to study.
______________________________________________
Donghae hates Wednesday.
It doesn’t have any specific meaning to his life, but he just hates that day simply because it is the day when their English teacher makes the class recite. English and Donghae just don’t fully complement each other.
Then again, the saying ‘Opposites attract’ might be true for Donghae now found himself standing, his mouth hanging wide open in an attempt to answer his teacher’s question.
He’s not that dumb in English. He can read the words in that language better than the others; just don’t let him translate it.
Sadly, that was what his teacher wants him to do.
“Lee Donghae, translate용서해줘(yongseo haejwo) in English.”
It had been a minute of glaring competition between Donghae and his English teacher when the former felt someone nudge his foot. He took a quick glance on his foot, his eyes narrowing at the sheet of paper placed on the floor. After realizing that an English sentence is written on it, he sneakily tried to read it and made his teacher think that he was contemplating and struggling on his answer.
“P-Please… uh… for…give… me?” Well, he just recited what he just read, though he isn’t sure if he read it correctly since the familiar handwriting is really bad.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” He tried his luck.
“Correct. I thought you wouldn’t answer it.” Donghae sighed in relief after his teacher turned to walk to the front as he slumped back to his seat, his attention caught by Hyukjae, whose body was bent over. He looked to where Hyukjae’s hands are, and saw it picking up the paper with the answer.
When Hyukjae’s eyes met his, the red-haired sheepishly grinned, and without him noticing, he smiled back.
He is already inside his dorm when he realized what the word he recited meant.
______________________________________________
There was a certain knock on the door that made Donghae jump on his seat since he was too occupied on something he doesn’t… know. He was sort of thinking about something he doesn’t know which he can’t figure out what it was… Anyways, because Siwon is not yet arriving, he has no choice but to check on who the guest is.
It is Hyukjae.
“Hey,” they said at the same time. Donghae flushed, but Hyukjae kept his composure and cleared his throat before thrusting a box of various DVDs to the brunet’s chest, which the smaller instantly hugged.
“Those are new English movies. Figured that you wanted to watch it this weekend…”
Donghae’s eyes fell on the box in his arms, trying to hide the blush painting his cheeks.
“I hope I could watch it with you, though…” Hyukjae mumbled, but Donghae didn’t hear it clearly, “Pardon?”
The red head shook his head, flashing his best friend his gummy smile before running away.
When Hyukjae is already out of sight, that’s the only time it hit him that Thursday is their movie marathon day.
______________________________________________
“I could drop you there,” Siwon whined to his roommate, who is already preparing to go out of the room. Slinging his training bag on his shoulder, Donghae faced the taller male with his signature smile, “It’s okay, Siwon. I can go there by myself!”
“Are you sure?” the tall black-haired inquired, raising an eyebrow in a weird way.
Donghae nodded as he pried the door open, both males inside freezing at the sight of Hyukjae leaning on the wall parallel to their door.
At the rather expected reaction of Siwon and Donghae, Hyukjae nonchalantly shrugged, “What, we always do this. Friday practice, right?” Sure, Hyukjae always fetch Donghae whenever they have their dance practice, which was held every Friday night.
It was Donghae who quickly recovered, so he leapt out of the room and waved Siwon goodbye before walking, with Hyukjae following him, not sparing Siwon a glance.
&
ldquo;Why are you suddenly being so nice?” Donghae asked out of the blue. However, he just received a smirk as a response.

Kyuhyun and Sungmin took a seat on a bench on the park they went to, with Sungmin linking his hand with his boyfriend’s. This day was fun; hanging out with Kyuhyun’s friends made him feel so young - with all those games they played on the arcade.
At first, he really didn’t entertain the idea of going out with Kyuhyun and his friends because it will make him feel old, but he found it rather enjoying. It had been years since he last did those with his own set of friends.
Playing games with dongsaengs isn’t bad, after all.
Kyuhyun stared at Sungmin, adoring his side features. If he isn’t in his right mind, he would imagine Sungmin being shone upon by the moon and mistake him for an angel, but no, he is still thinking straight, so his mind is filled of thoughts of how beautiful his lover is.
Still, there lies something dark under that beautiful face, and he wants to know it.
“What are you thinking right now, Min?” he asked the older.
Sungmin sighed as he leaned on the backrest of the wooden bench, his pouty lips parting to say, “Me,” Without waiting for the other’s reply, he craned his neck to look at the one sitting next to him, his voice cracking for a bit when he asked, “Do you want to know what is really going on between Sungjin and me?”
Now that’s the secret Kyuhyun wanted to know.
“I’ll listen.” Kyuhyun said in a gentle tone, his soothing voice gave colors to Sungmin’s pale cheeks.
Because he doesn’t want Kyuhyun seeing him being weak, he comfortably leaned his head on the other’s shoulder, focusing his gaze on their entwined fingers placed atop Kyuhyun’s lap.
“I was supposed to be the heir to our company, so I had to act all manly and perfect around them…” Sungmin shakily started, but Kyuhyun’s squeeze on his hand encouraged him to go on, “But I know I am not what they think I am.”
“Still, I lived up to their expectations. I received high honors in my elementary and middle school, I dated cute girls in a young age, but when Henry came to my life, that’s when I started realizing what my true sexuality is; I also like boys.”
Sungmin is now trying to stop his tears from falling, but he failed when Kyuhyun kissed the top of his head.
“I… I liked Henry, really… he is the sweetest dongsaeng one could ever have… but I took that for granted. Like what I said to you before, I raped him when I was drunk one night… and Sungjin saw us the way he saw us in my room before… Since then, my relationship with my brother was destroyed because of his disgust towards me.” So that’s why Sungjin is so against Sungmin being with me…
“Do your parents know?” Kyuhyun cautiously asked.
“Yes. That’s why they sent me to a co-ed dorm school, hoping that I could still be changed. Also, to hide to everyone the fact that the famous tycoon, Mr. Lee’s first son is a bisexual. It will be bad for the company’s name, right?” Sungmin bitterly replied, finally getting the courage to look at his boyfriend.
Wiping Sungmin’s tears, Kyuhyun asked another question, “Are you rebelling?”
The black-haired nuzzled his cheek on his lover’s hand, chuckling, “A bit. Well, not now,” He earned a cocked eyebrow from the other. “Because my boyfriend wouldn’t want that, would he?”
At this, Kyuhyun smiled widely and kissed the smaller male’s lips, “Of course.”
Smugly grinning, Sungmin crashed his lips to Kyuhyun’s, taking the younger by surprise. “Min, there are people…” But Sungmin cupped Kyuhyun’s cheeks and pressed him closer to him, “Let them watch.”
Making out at the park is definitely not on their to-do-list, but it is also an exciting addition to it, right?
______________________________________________
Sungmin emerged from the bathroom, while drying his hair thru a towel, to check on who knocked, his towel falling from his grip when he saw Henry standing on his doorstep.
“D-Do you know w-what’s h-happening t-to… Sungjin?” The young Chinese immediately asked without looking at the older.
“Uh… what?” He doesn’t know if he is just panicking because Henry came to him or what, but he really didn’t get what the younger asked him.
“H-He is avoiding… me… H-He d-doesn’t… talk t-to m-me…” Oh, so it’s about Sungjin.
“Well, I don’t know… he doesn’t talk to me either…” he tried answering in the coolest he could.
Henry’s face lightened as he raised his index finger and nodded, “Ah, yeah… okay…” He then slowly made his way to somewhere after bowing.
“Henry!” Sungmin doesn’t know why he did that.
Nervously, the younger turned and faced him, “Y-Yes?”
“Are you… Are you doing good?”
“Yes.”
Sungmin nodded, smiling slightly, “Okay… that’s good…” Henry took that as a cue that he could now go.
It really is a relief that Henry is living good.
He was giggling at what Kyuhyun said when he heard yet another knock. “Wait, Kyu,” he told the guy from the other line as he stood up to open the door.
Why his past does haunted him tonight… he doesn’t know.
“Hyung…” Sungjin mumbled, tears falling from his eyes.
Forgetting that Kyuhyun is still on, Sungmin threw his phone aside and encased his weeping brother in his arms, whispering, “Hey, what’s wrong?”
The younger clutched on his hyung’s shirt, “I need your advice…”
“To what?”
“Hyung, I think I like Jongjin-hyung…”
