- Changmin-ah.

- Mm...?

- Changmin-ah!

There was barely a ray of light when Junsu got up and went to wake Changmin up. Yoochun was sleeping in the other bed, so he was whispering next to the youngest boy in the room.

- Jogging - simply said Junsu.

- Aww... - Changmin opened a single eye, raised his head up from the pillow, frowned and went back to sleep. Junsu gave up and went to the door. - Hyung - Junsu turned around - I'm up. - said with his hoarse, morning voice, waving his hand, his face very deep in the pillow. Junsu smiled.

- Okay.

A couple of minutes later, Changmin got in the kitchen, where Junsu was sitting at the counter, drinking something. Changmin hadn't managed to open his eyes completely.

- There's a car waiting for us outside.

That's all they talked.

They remained silent in their way to the park.

And remained silent while stretching.

The air was fresh and it was a nice day for exercising, but they kept silent most of the time, while jogging, and taking a rest.

Only then, with Changmin bending forward, and Junsu sitting in the grass, this one had the courage to break the ice.

- Listen, Changmin-

 As if they were thinking the same, the youngest interrumpted him:

- Ah, you don't have to say anything, hyung... - said, gasping and sweating because of the exercise, he stood straight and their eyes met - Don't make a big fuss out of it.

Junsu stared at him for a long time, and continued:

- I wouldn't want to become awkward with one of the members just because of a game.

- It's okay, hyung. Don't worry about it. - Changmin put his hands on his waist and turned around, without giving it much importance - Shall we go? We'll be late for schedule.

- Eee... Yeah. - Junsu wasn't convinced at all.

Just getting in the house, they showered, joined the mess of every morning in trying to get out on time, and finally departured to their schedule.

First was a CF filming. The set was noisy as usual, they'd be using a green background this time, which was a little sad. They could always use the props to have fun and goof around if they needed too. But today there would be just them and the green background.

Morning went away real fast, because they didn't have breakfast, all of them felt like dying.

- I think I packed something this morning, I'm not sure - said Jaejoong, tired and hungry. - Changmin-ah, can you check? My backpack.

They were sweating, Junsu and Yunho were still in their dance formation, discussing little details about the choreography.

- But when we turn left, ah! hyung, we should do that.

- Yoochun-ah!

- Eh?

- Do you have enough space if I do this? - Yunho flailed around.

They were yelling from one side of the set to the other, where Yoochun and Jaejoong were talking. They'd lose stamina by that time in the morning with no food. Changmin appeared, bringing a white box. He was smiling.

- Hyung, are we eating yet? - yelled Junsu to his manager, who was next to the entrance. He shook his head and tapped his watch with his index.

- Come and grab some, Junsu-yah! Yunho! - Jaejoong held the box over his head, and smiling and giggling looked for a nice place to eat. The rest followed him like bees after honey.

- We're changing the film! - assistant director yelled next to the monitors.

Jaejoong raised his head and replied: - We're okay with that! - everyone laughed after.

- Open the goddamn pack! - hurried Changmin. - I'm starving. What is it?

They smelled something while Jaejoong unwrapped it. - You didn't bring takoyaki to the set, did you? - asked Junsu, skeptical.

Jaejoong just smiled, before taking the lid off. Changmin's mouth opened and stared, delighted.

- Oh! - he managed to blurt out - Oooh... hyung. Hyung. Hyunghyunghyunghyunghyung. - Jaejoong laughed at Changmin's poor vocabulary caused by hunger.

- Where did you get this?

They all made undescribable sounds and ate happily in a corner. Filming resumed, they completed several scenes of the CF and after lunch, their manager told them they were a bit late for schedule.

- At this pace, we'll have to run for interview at... - he checked his cellphone and some papers.

- Where is it being published? - asked Junsu - The interview.

- Some girls magazine.

They shooted the dance scene a thousand times. Worn out as they were, they could still goof around, cheering the staff members, but after a while, Jaejoong would end up in the floor, Yoochun gasping in a corner and Yunho moving around, a little impatient. Changmin was leaned back against the green background, spacing out. When Junsu got closer to him, the maknae turned to face him.

- Don't talk to me, hyung. Not now. - he stood straight and walked away adding- Please.

He, then, went to Yunho and chatted with him in the other side of the set.

Junsu stood there, confused, clueless. Changmin turned around to see him across the set from time to time, in Junsu's eyes, a little bit worried.

- What?! That was my last shot? Really? - Jaejoong asked to one of the staff members, stunned. 

Assistant director checked the script for a few seconds and announced:

- We just need Yoochun-sshi and Junsu-sshi for their individual shots. The rest... it's a wrap.

- Yay! - Jaejoong was so happy.

They clapped and bowed, thanking everyone  in the set, coordi-noonas hurrying to get their clothes undone as soon as possible. Manager was impatient, looking at his watch almost every second. Yoochun just kept walking in the middle of the set, flailing around, in his own world, but Junsu was clueless.

- I don't get to be on the interview? Hyung? - he asked one of the managers.

- Eh?

He even had his hands on his outfit, ready to take his clothes off, waiting for confirmation.

- If you hurry, you'll get on time. We're kinda late. You'll have one of the cars ready if you need it.

- Yoochun-ah! - yelled Jaejoong from the entrance - See you later! - he waved and Yoochun raised his hand. He went back to walking next to the green background panels.

- Good bye! - said Yunho and felt apologetic for not being able to take all s with him.

- Do a good job! Make me look good! - some coordi-noonas laughed at Yoochun. He got closer to Junsu and forced him to wave at his leaving members. - Bye, bye! - finished with a cute voice. - Don't worry, Junsu-yah.

Alone, the two of them, encouraged each other to wrap up quickly, but it never depended on them alone. The CF filming had taken the day away, and soon, Junsu understood he was not going to make it to the interview.

He didn't like to be left behind in this kind of activities. He had to take care of his popularity.

Yoochun shooted first. He was tired, but he was such a good entertainer. The moment he had to pull out a smile, he'd do it flawlessly.

Junsu checked his cell-phone, waiting for news about the interview. He had messages from his mother, one from Jaejoong wishing them luck to get out of there (probably from inside the car) and another from Yunho telling them to take care in their way back (he had assumed the only place they'd go after filming was home).

Suddenly, he raised his head and caught Yoochun staring at him. It startled him. Yoochun giggled.

- I can't believe we're stuck here for another two hours. - Junsu sighed.

- Mm. - Yoochun messed his hair. As soon as Junsu went back to reading his messages, he stared at Junsu's face, going from his forehead to his mouth.

Junsu got flustered. He sighed and smiled. He could see him out of the corner of his eye , and felt like he was being stalked.

- What? - Junsu tried to supress giggling.

- Nothing, I just remembered something.

- Junsu-sshi? - an assistant of the director called him. Everything was ready for his solo shoot.

- Ne!

It didn't take long, but when he got back, next to Yoochun, he had this message in his phone that made him sad. It was from Jaejoong and it said: "Interview's over. See you at home. I'll make it up to you, guys, and cook something nice ♥ "

Yoochun was immersed in his phone also, but Junsu felt his stare from time to time. Finally, he stared solely at his mouth for several minutes, making him panic.

- What?!

Yoochun cracked up for his sudden reaction.

- Yoochun-ah, you're giving me the creeps. - Junsu told him boldly - What is it??

Yoochun covered his mouth and bent forward. He laughed his off in Junsu's face.

- Get a grip. - he wasn't amused at all. He waited, with a lot of patience.

- Promise me you won't tell Changmin.

- Waeee...? Changmin... -  Junsu got tense all of a sudden - About what?

Yoochun supressed more compulsive laughter and continued: - This morning... - he began- you know, when we were in the bathroom - Junsu's face was a mask - he told me: "Junsu-hyung's lips are so soft." And it came out of nowhere...! - Junsu was skeptical and Yoochun noticed. - I swear! I didn't ask him anything, and he suddenly was like: "Junsu-hyung's lips are so soft." He told me - Yoochun tried to get a hold of himself, and couldn't help but crack up - he told me, you had such nice lips, he felt specially interested in your upper lip. - Yoochun couldn't contain himself and covered his mouth, muffling his laughter, because he was starting to get noticed in the set.

-  A- are you serious?

- I told him I'd have to try it, then.

- Wha- What? - Junsu giggled, not believing what he was hearing. Yoochun read in Junsu's face he was worried.

- And now we're both fans of your upper lip. - his eyes narrowed and he giggled. - He was just kidding... Junsu-yah, don't take it so seriously. - He added after seeing Junsu's face. He certainly looked scared.

- Ah, I see. Were you kidding, too? - he was using all his self control to put up a smile. He was judging Yoochun a little.

- What? - now Junsu was trolling him. - Ah, but I told him back: "don't be too harsh on him. Knowing Junsu, he'll be embarrassed for a whole week with this kissing issue".

- ...What did he say?

- "Don't worry, hyung,  it's not like that, it's okay." - Yoochun kept a serious face, trying to calm Junsu down a bit, but couldn't help it. He chuckled.

Junsu lowered his head, shaking it, pretending he was texting something and laughed at Yoochun's comments as if he didn't care.

A half hour later, they were in the car, heading home. It was late at night, CF filming had been demanding that day. The moment they entered the house, the smell of something tasty hit their faces.

- Ahh, jinjja... Waaa...

- We're hoomee!

They closed the entrance's door.

- Come join us!

They heard Jaejoong calling from the kitchen. The TV was on and they could hear the news.

- I'm starving, mommy! - whined Yoochun, who went directly to the kitchen, leaving his backpack and coat in the couch.

- I'm gonna go wash my hands! - yelled Junsu and took the hallway into his room. He left his stuff there and went to the bathroom. He bumped into Changmin when he tried to get in.

- Ah, sorry! - said immediately and awkwardness appeared in his face right away. It must have shown all over his eyes, so he avoided looking at him.

Changmin leaned in the door's frame, blocking the way. He scratched his head, as if he was looking for the right words. Laughing came from the kitchen, and the sound of dishes also. And there they were, in the middle of the hallway, in silence.

- Listen, hyung...

Never been so awkward and shy with each other. He didn't even troll him like the day before. What had happened?

- If there's something I did to get you mad, Changmin-ah...

The tone of his voice was so sad. Really, just a few words from the youngest made him think he had done something to deserve such treatment.

- Just shut up, hyung.

That startled Junsu. Changmin words could be so harsh. He felt apologetic right away.

- Please, hyung, I'm trying to say something here.

- Dinner's going to get cold! - they heard Jaejoong yelling from the kitchen. The smell of food was tempting a minute ago, but it had gone now.

What had happened that caused Changmin to be so messed up?

- I hope you don't get a bad idea out of it... mm... - he scratched his chin - but I thought you had to know this...

- That game?

- Changmin-ah! Junsu-yah! - Yunho called.

- Changmin-ah! Junsu-yah!- Yoochun mimicked in a high pitch and laughed.

Jaejoong followed and stopped right away, then he convinced the others to harmonize their names and finally sang:

- Changmin-ah~! Junsu-yah~! - the three boys in the kitchen laughed.

- Yeah, yeah... - said Changmin, lost in his own train of thoughts, agreeing with himself more than with Junsu- you could say... - his eyes were wandering, thinking a million things at a time - Yeah, it's beein bothering me, you could say, kind of obsessed...?

Their eyes bumped into each other's. Junsu forced a smile. He was flustered and giggled, nervous.

- Good thing it was only once, then...! I wouldn't know what to--

Any sign of sympathy just vanished away from Changmin's face. His eyes dropped to Junsu's lips. He stepped forward, grabbed Junsu's chin and lifting it up a little bit, kissed him.

This was not like the first time at all: this was a proper kiss, a real kiss. Changmin tilted his head and got a full taste of his hyung's lips. It lasted a few seconds, but he could feel the time stopped for a moment.

Junsu froze on the spot. Changmin stepped back and just walked towards the end of the hallway as if nothing had happened. He disappeared around the corner and went to the kitchen.

- Where's Junsu?

Later, when they had stuffed themselves and felt like going to bed, they saw Junsu was nowhere to be found.

He had gone to his room earlier and sat in his bed. That night he couldn't sleep, but before that, alone in the darkness of his room, he couldn't help but think: "Changminnie's... kind of... a good kisser".
