"Changmin, let's hang out today", Kyuhyun asked him, putting an arm on his shoulder. "I need to buy this videogame, it seems interesting." Kyuhyun showed him the flyer.

"I'm tired, hyung. I'll go sleep early tonight."

"But we can have a drink later", he added. Changmin just shook his head "No thank you, hyung. I'll just go straight home today."

Kyuhyun smirked. "Really? But do you even have food in your fridge? What about going to that italian rest-"

"Dealt!" Changmin exclaimed. "That DVD.... In which shop will you buy it? I heard that Onigiri is cheaper..."

Kyuhyun smiled. "Anything is fine. But the dinner is your treat tonight."

"Heh? Why?!" Changmin ran after him, to walk on the same level.

"Because I have no more money."

Changmin sighed. "What I won't do just for food..", he thought.

"Four big marguerita pizzas, please", Changmin ordered to the employee.

"Sure, sir. Do you need a table for how many people?"

"Just two, please."

"T-two?" She asked, confused. "But you asked for four pizzas..."

He frowned. "Of couse. Three for me, one for my friend. Please be quick. Thank you."

Changmin and Kyuhyun followed her until a table, and sat. "Are you sure you can eat so much?" Changmin asked Kyuhyun.

"Look who's talking", Kyuhyun laughed. "Of course I can. My stomach isn't weak."

Changmin looked at him disapproving. "You know, eating is not the same as dating. Eating must be done slowly, and with pleasure. Don't force yourself into doing it, or you'll throw up... Food can be sensible sometimes."

"Here you go...", he rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me that you cry when you cut your food...?"

"Of course!! It must be painful for the good to be cut... Don't you think so?"

"Then don't eat."

"Do you want me to die? I live to feel that fragance, that flavor, that sweet texture..."

"Ok, I get it. Ugh, you're giving me the chills."

"But will you eat it or not?"

"Yeah... maybe. Why?"

"If you can't, can you give me half of it?"

Kyuhyun sighed and nodded. Changmin smiled, and kept bugging Kyuhyun with random conversations and the food came.

When they were done, Kyuhyun had difficulties walking. He walked as if he was drunk, while Changmin looked at him with angry eyes. "That wouldn't have happened if you gave me those two pieces..."

"I need to eat, right? And you were mocking me for not eating much..."

"You need to guess when I'm talking serious or not. Not everybody can eat as much as me." He said, proudly. "By the way, can we go to your dorm and play the game?"

Kyuhyun looked at him. " Don't even think about it. I'm going to sleep now. And I'll take a taxi, thank you."

"This guy is weak", Changmin laughed. "I think I still have sushi on the fridge... And yesterday's kimchi. I can have a supper when i get home. That if Junsu didn't eat it all.... Damn it, I better hurry."

Changmin ran as much as he could, as if his house was on fire; as if someone he cared for was on danger; as if... someone was about to steal his food. It didn't matter if he had eaten before, but his food was only his. And he'd make sure to keep it like that.

Out of breath, he opened the door just to see everything dark. "What's happening? Where are everybody...? Well, at least I don't need to fear some food thiefs..."

When he came step by step to the kitchen, the lights were suddenly on. "Surprise!" s said, holding a big white cake. "Happy Birthday!"

They sang 'happy birthday' to him, and clapped.

Changmin approached them, and smiled at the cake. "It looks yummy."

"It is, for sure. We had to taste every single cake to experience." Yoochun said.

Jaejoong took that opportunity to approach him. "Happy birthday, Changmin." He opened his arms to hug him. "Sarang-"

In a quick movement, Changmin stole the cake and ran upstairs, leaving Jaejoong dumbfounded. "I'm eating it ALL alone. Leave us alone for the rest of night, please..."

Junsu shrugged. "All his birthdays are like that..."

Yunho cut him off. "All OUR birthdays, you mean."

They laughed, and sighed when they heard the noises upstairs. Changmin was having too much fun with the cake... too much pleasure, actually.

Jaejoong stepped further away from the members and looked upstais. "Maybe I should have been born as a pinneaple... or a lasagne, or pizza.... He'd notice me like that, right... "
