Kyuhyun sighed. Not again!

The quiet weekend of reading his favorite book that he had envisioned went up in  smoke.
He covered his face with the book that he was reading in an attempt to shut out the noise. Suddenly he felt a pair of cool hands covering his ears.

KyuHyun pulled the book off his face and looked up enquiringly.

A small smile, a mild shake of the head and a kiss on the forehead were all the answer KyuHyun got.

“I think this time it’s going to be quicker than before.” KyuHyun shifted his head that was comfortably nestled on ChangMin’s lap.

“Oh you think so?” ChangMin still had his hands over Kyuhyun’s ears.

“Yeah.”

True to the two men’s prediction, a few seconds later TaeMin could be heard flinging his phone away.

“Any second now he’ll be heading this way…wonder who he’s going to choose?” ChangMin pondered out loud. He knew TaeMin was on the phone or rather arguing as usual with MinHo.

“You, it’s your turn,” KyuHyun answered without any hesitation.

“Nope, I think it’s your turn.” ChangMin removed his hands and was now KyuHyun’s hair.

“No it’s yours, wanna bet?” KyuHyun challenged back. TaeMin and MinHo had been having some problems recently and they weren’t on good terms. Both older men had been their source of advice and solace. But mainly it was TaeMin who came to either of them while the quiet MinHo mostly kept his feelings and thoughts to himself preferring to solve them on his own.

“Sure.” A lazy drawl came from the taller man.

“So winner gets…” KyuHyun sat up, running a hand through his hair.

“Same prize baby, as always. I don’t want to change it.”

“But it’s boring …” KyuHyun protested.

“You find my kisses boring?” ChangMin asked, a slight irritation in his voice.

“That’s not what I meant and you know it Minnie.” KyuHyun poked ChangMin’s cheek. “5?”

Minnie, no one else calls him that, only KyuHyun! He may not be Min, but he loves Minnie more. At least KyuHyun had stopped calling him ChangMin.  

ChangMin mind flew back to when KyuHyun once asked him why as a child he always picked on him. ChangMin’s answer was swift and true. “I wanted your attention.”

“Minnie?” KyuHyun’s voice broke through his reverie.

ChangMin refused to reply but just shrugged his shoulders pretending to still be offended.

“Okay, okay 10?” KyuHyun cajoled as he kissed the spot he just poked.

“15?” ChangMin cheekily nudged KyuHyun as he eyed TaeMin approaching them.

“Don’t press your luck Minnie.” KyuHyun pushed him away with a laugh.

 

TaeMin walked towards his hyeong and ChangMin hyeong seeing them together caused a surge of envy to pass through him. They started off badly but look at them now, inseparable and madly in love. On the other hand he and MinHo hyeong had been arguing constantly and even broke up twice ever since MinHo hyeong had entered university.

TaeMin was grateful that he managed a spot in the same university as his boyfriend. He wondered if things would be better or worse if he had entered a different university. He decided to ask the two older hyeongs about it.

“What do you think hyeongbu?” TaeMin tearfully asked.

“It’s a good thing you’re together, you know… he can look out for you.” ChangMin swore he heard KyuHyun chuckling next to him. It seemed KyuHyun was better at this than he was.

“He doesn’t care about me, not anymore!” TaeMin pouted.

“He does, he loves you very much… First don’t break up with him, it hurts him the most,” ChangMin began tentativelyHell it hurts all of them!

“But hyeongbu, I think he’s seeing someone else, I saw them in the library…!” TaeMin’s tears continued to flow down his pale face.

ChangMin spared a pleading glance at KyuHyun who merely passed him a box of tissues. “Are you sure? There usually are tons of people in the library er… maybe they were just sharing a table?”

 

2 hours later.

KyuHyun was consoling a teary TaeMin when he saw MinHo peeping from behind the door.

“Min-ah, hyeong’s going to the toilet for a bit.” He got up signaling MinHo to remain where he was.

“KyuHyun hyeong… I..” MinHo bowed his head as soon as KyuHyun got closer.

“What took you so long?” KyuHyun shut the door behind him.

“I’m sorry I had classes.”

“MinHo, deal with this problem, both of you need to sit and talk, I mean really talk, okay?” KyuHyun sounded firm and he meant it. He loved both of them but their constant arguing was getting to everyone else in the house.

“I’m sorry…”

“Stop apologizing and get in there,” KyuHyun ordered.

 

ChangMin looked up and saw KyuHyun and his dongsaeng standing by the chairs at the other end of the living room. “TaeMin, look who’s here.”

“I know but I don’t want to talk to him.” TaeMin looked away and sulked.

“Yah! Cho Tae Min!” KyuHyun lost his patience. “A moment ago you were wailing and crying for MinHo and now that he’s here you don’t want to see or talk to him?”

“Hyeong.”  TaeMin covered his face and began crying.

“KyuHyun…” ChangMin groaned as he began to wonder if things were going to get worst when TaeMin suddenly jumped up and ran across the room right into MinHo’s open arms.

ChangMin was relieved to see MinHo hugging a sobbing TaeMin, averting his gaze he saw a grinning KyuHyun walking towards him.

“Come on you.” KyuHyun picked up his discarded book, linked his arm with ChangMin before half dragging him to their bedroom.

“Will they be okay?” ChangMin motioned to the other two.

KyuHyun just grunted as he kicked the bedroom door shut.

“Can I claim my winnings now?” KyuHyun pushed ChangMin onto the bed. Laying next to the wide eyed ChangMin, KyuHyun started counting before kissing him. “One.”
