"Good morning!" Heechul bright smile alone seemed to light up the whole breakfast hall.

His eyes were cast on the petite figure that was walking down in his direction, alone. He frantically waved his hand to the man and signalled to come closer.

Ryeowook caught glance of his brother and immediately took an empty spot at the table he was sitting at, smiling to the newly-wed and even leaning in to kiss him good morning.

"I should be the one asking you if this is a good morning" he playfully cocked an eyebrow and tried to read his brother's giggling face "Is it?" he asked then "I think you should be telling me lots and lots of things, Wookie" he warned, pointing his finger at the just awoken man.

"The day has yet to start, and you're already interrogating him?" Siwon showed up with two plates filled from the american breakfast buffet that the hotel provided each morning to their individual, vip customers. He set them down on the round table and sat next to Heechul.

"Oh, I'm a curious type by nature. You should know that!" Heechul snapped out, a bit irritated to be lectured that early from his husband, but accepting nonetheless the kiss this one was giving him on the cheek.

Heechul crossed both arms on the table and leant towards his brother, saying: "So, have you finally fixed your romantic issues or was it..." the noise of a drawn chair next interrupted him. His eyes looked as if ready to throw lethal daggers to the person that had dared join them. 

Jongwoon was sitting next to Ryeowook, gently pulling the man's hand on his lap after kissing the top of it: "Sorry Heechul, did I interrupt you?"

"Oh, please...remind me that you joined my wedding just because you're my brother's boyfriend. I desperately need something to keep on reminding me that" Heechul snorted, a bit offended and disappointed at the same time. Because it was all his fault, if he couldn't question his baby brother about the passionate night he knew had happened between him and...

"Are you two still here?" Heechul turned his face just a little to notice Kyuhyun's arrival. He automatically smiled to the young man, perhaps too obvious in manifesting his appreciation towards him. 

Kyuhyun took the last empty seat and sat opposite Ryeowook, showing the whole table a fresh look belonging to someone who had got plenty of rest overnight.

"We're going to catch our plane later in the afternoon, but I still wanted Heechul to be up quite early since he needs to finish some things in Korea before our honeymoon" Siwon replied, expertly stuffing a crispy brioche with red berries jam and butter.

Heechul nodded with a light smirk on his lips. Rather amused, he couldn't help but throw furtive glances at both Ryeowook, who seemed too intent at eating a spoonful of chocolate cheescake that Jongwoon was offering him - obviously and voluntarily ignoring Kyuhyun's presence at their table - and Kyuhyun, whom instead was acting way too chill about their curious reunion.

"Were you rather busy yesterday, Kyuhyun, uhm?" Jongwoon asked, not able to contain a bit of sincere amusement through the smirk on his lips.

"Sorry?" Kyuhyun diplomatically asked, unable to catch the meaning behind the older man's question.

"I mean, I heard that you kept yourself busy with one of the female guests" Jongwoon resumed, explaining the intentions behind his questions, however he had soon to change focus of his attention because Ryeowook on his side began coughing quite loud, after almost choking on another bite of cake "Are you okay?" Jongwoon promptly offered him a glass of water to calm down his little convulsions.

With red, teary eyes, Ryeowook grabbed the glass and held it with his trembling hand, hoping that his hold could get steadier somehow with the passing seconds. He nodded to reassure him of his condition, though he still felt his throat hoarse from the strong coughs and couldn't quite speak well. He placed his hand on Jongwoon's shoulder and squeezed it lightly to let him understand what he couldn't voice yet, doing that on purpose since Kyuhyun's eyes were cast on him.

"Y-yeah" Kyuhyun affirmed. He still glanced at how Ryeowook tried to purposefully ignore him and act clingier towards Jongwoon "You can say so! I got really, really busy with the girl, if you know what I mean" he wickedly smiled and looked down at the slice of bread he was about to bite.

Jongwoon laughed then, uncaring of the curious glances that Heechul was throwing at him in the meanwhile: "From the look of your bright face, I can tell the night was good, wasn't it?"

"You're way too interested in what Kyuhyun's night has been!" Ryeowook commented, caressing Jongwoon's cheek and forcing a pleasant, kind smile to let him understand that maybe his interest in someone else's stuff was going a bit overboard.

"Perhaps he's just interested in getting some advice. I can give him some!" Kyuhyun exprressed his thought "Believe me, she was good. Oh, so very good! She couldn't stop screaming my name all night long and the way she moved her hips was..." a leg suddenly reached Kyuhyun's in a strong kick. He winced in pain and shut up, too intent at now massaging his hurt calf.

Heechul tried so bad to stiffle a laugh, not managing and ending up bursting into a loud chuckle. His eyes travelled from Kyuhyun to Ryeowook, enjoying the play scene too much, since he perfectly knew that Kyuhyun hadn't met any girl, instead that he was trying to faithfully describe how riding Ryeowook must have been. For the first time ever, his side acting the part of the overprotective, elder brother, disappeared in favor of Kyuhyun's cheekiness. 

Despite having such an open relationship with his own brother - in fact Ryeowook had never felt shy around Heechul whenever he sought advice for his ual life - he rarely accepted others speaking that way and including obvious innuendos in reference to his brother. He found it kind of sick, and his jealous side often overpowered the rational one until he could tell himself satisfied for beating up that unleashed tongue that had spoken that ill about Ryeowook. 

Moreover, Kyuhyun knew it all and behaving like that meant taking and open bet with Heechul's nerves.

"There's nothing wrong in seeking advice, I think" Heechul said, sipping his smoothie from the transparent straw before resuming "Siwon and I are so open about it, we tell each other everything. Perhaps Jongwoon your problem is all about your age. Maybe you're getting older and can't keep up with my brother's needs, or..."

Just then a pair of hands violently slammed against the clothed table, resonating in all their owner's anger.

Ryeowook was standing up, furiously staring at each and everyone of them with tears pooling in the corner of his sad eyes: "Would you please stop speaking about me as if I weren't here?" and without waiting for any reaction to manifest in the group, he simply turned heels and accelerated his pace to get out of there as fast as possible.

Jongwoon motioned to follow him up shortly, but Heechul pushed him to sit on the chair: "Don't move, I'll go" he dared him and ran after his brother, whom he found locked up in a toilet stall to loudly cry and ask himself the reason behind his miserable life.

"Ryeowook..." Heechul called him, ignoring where exactly his brother was and therefore beginning to knock on a few closed door before finding the right one "Yah! Kim Ryeowook! Get out of there!" his voice rose to impatience, then it lowered to a faint, sorrowful murmur "I want to talk to you. I'm...sorry. It wasn't my intention to speak that way"

Ryeowook sniffled twice. The light noise of the toilet paper rolling and being torn was the only thing audible, except for the man's sniffles.

"I don't care about Jongwoon actually. You're the only one I care about, you know that, don't you?" Heechul's hand swiped against the surface of the closed door, as if he could actually feel the presence of his brother leaning against it with his back. He looked down at his feet, showing very much sorrow, then he asked: "Wasn't it good with Kyuhyun tonight? Should I beat him up for mistreating you? Tell me anything, and I'll comply..."

"N-no..." Ryeowook's hoarse voice shyly echoed in the silence of the bathroom. Then, a deep sigh followed and he spoke: "It was too good actually... He was, he is...fantas- how did you know I was with him?" the realization fell upon him and he remembered the text that Heechul had sent him the night before.

Heechul couldn't help but chuckle at that: "I'm quite good at maths, and since you two weren't there right at the same time, I just had to put one and one together. It was rather easy" he commented, hearing nothing but silence coming from his brother.

"You like Kyuhyun, right?" he asked then, waiting for the obvious to come.

"No... Well, might be. Maybe...A bit..." after the nth minute he stayed silent, Ryeowook croaked a shy admission.

"Just a bit?!" Heechul scoffed "No, no, I'm sorry, I don't believe you. You like him a lot! And ever since he stayed at our place, if I'm not wrong!" 

Ryeowook sighed, rolling his eyes and being thankful that his brother couldn't see his face: "I don't need to ask you how you do even know such..."

"Oh, please! Don't ask stupid questions, Ryeowook!" Heechul spit, this time indignated that hs little brother could have such little faith in his mighty resources "It's your wellbeing we are talking about and you're an open book for me, you must know that too. Plus, you weren't that discreet while having your little, dirty affair back then. I'm talking about open doors, loud voices, even certain used condoms" Heechul lectured him with a face of slight disgust, wanting to stress the last word to make Ryeowook understand exactly to what extent he knew about his relationship with Kyuhyun. "For God's sake, Ryeowook! You need to dispose of them quickly and not throwing them on the floor! I found one just under your bed and..."

"Okay. Got it!" Ryeowook shouted, not able to see his face getting crimson red because of deep shame, but perfectly feeling the heat spreading on his cheeks. 

"Anyway...tell me, how was it?" Heechul went on, wanting to get to juicy gossip.

Ryeowook left the door where he was leaning at and turned around in the cubicle to sit on the toilet. He hid his face into his cupped palms and breathed: "Good. Too good, to be honest! Better than anyone else, actually"

"Better than Jongwoon?" Heechul cocked an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Of course, anyone could be better than him! It doesn't really take much, honestly..." Ryeowook sighed.

"Ouch" Heechul shrugged.

"What?"

"That hurt, even for a scumbag like him. Isn't he good enough to satisfy you? Don't you love him? You said you do"

"I...I don't know. I loved him very much, and when I saw him again at school...it was af if I lost my inner balance all of a sudden. I spent the last few yea
