Kyuhyun awoke the next morning to his very annoying alarm clock playing a very annoying tune in an annoyingly loud volume. With a grunt he rolled over on his stomach and felt for the clock with his hand. When he found it he located the off button and pressed it and the bedroom was quiet again.
Ah, how he loved the silence. Especially in the mornings. He was laying still for a few minutes and just enjoyed the silence. Then he suddenly jerked and sat up. He had heard a sound. And it came from his own apartment, from the living room.


He sat perfectly still and just listened and then he heard how someone walked from the living room and into the kitchen. His heart started to beat faster. Was it a burglar? What could he be out for? His computers?
Quietly he slipped out of the bed and crept over to the door, grabbing a metal baseball bat in the progress that he had gotten from Ryeowook as a birthday present.


With the bat tightly in his hand he slowly opened the door and peeked out into the living room. He couldn't see anyone and so he crept out of his bedroom and made his way over to the kitchen. Someone was moving around in the kitchen, moving things around.
While lifting the baseball bat, Kyuhyun took a deep breath, preparing himself to confront the burglar. Slowly he crept into the kitchen and his eyes zoomed in on a person standing bent over the counter. He lifted the bat over his head and crept even closer.
And just then the person turned towards him and his body froze and his eyes widened.



Standing before him wearing sweatpants and a black tanktop was the pretty man that had become a regular at the restaurant. For a moment Kyuhyun's brain froze, he couldn't understand what this man was doing in his kitchen in the morning. 
"Ah Kyuhyun-ah, just in time. I'm done with the breakfast."
Kyuhyun blinked his eyes. Breakfast? Why was he making breakfast?



Then the previous day came back to him. He was now having a roommate, which was this pretty man. How could he have forgotten?
The other tilted his head slightly to the side. "What are you doing with the baseball bat?"
His cheeks started to burn in embarrassment and he quickly lowered the bat. The older gave him an amused look and Kyuhyun remembered that he was only wearing boxers and a t-shirt, and his cheeks burned even more. "I..uh..thought that..you..burglar..." He stuttered while slowly backing away form the other.


Sungmin just chuckled at him. "You forgot about me Kyuhyun-ah? I'm sorry that I scared you."
The younger immediately frowned. "You didn't scare me." He muttered before leaving the kitchen in a hurry. How could he miss the blanket on the couch when he walked through the living room?
He walked back to his bedroom and found the jeans from yesterday and put them on. The he changed into a t-shirt and a huge hoddie instead and left the bedroom again.


When he returned to the kitchen Sungmin had placed out a plate with toast and fried egg. The older was currently pouring two cups of coffee over at the counter.
Slowly Kyuhyun made his way over to the table and sat down. Sungminn soon joined him and placed one of the cups before him, keeping the other for himself.


"I'm thinking about going grocery shopping later, your refrigerator is far from filled. Is there a spare key I could take?" Sungmin asked as he sat down.
Kyuhyun grabbed a toast and took a bite as he thought it over. Yes, there should be a spare key. Somewhere. So he nodded his head. He just had to find it.


After breakfast Kyuhyun started to search for the spare key. He found it in the bathroom cabinet, and why it was there he didn't know. He handed it to Sungmin, a bit uncomfortable to give the other all the freedom over the apartment. But then again, he soon couldn't call it just his own either. He would only pay half of the next rent payment, and then the apartment was partly Sungmin's, but Kyuhyun was still standing as the lone owner on the contract.


Thanks to the search for the spare key and his worries about the older he almost forgot about work. Sungmin was kind enough to remind him that he started work in twenty minites, and he still wasn't wearing his uniform. So he redressed into the uniform in record time and raced out of the apartment, forgetting his phone and wallet and had to turn back for it.
His boss gave him a comment about being late and he promised that it would never be repeated.

The day passed by fast, and to Kyuhyun's not so much surprise, Sungmin turned up for lunch like usual with a bright smile on his lips.
But when he finally come home, the apartment was empty. He found a note on the kitchen table saying that Sungmin would be late home.
Not that it bothered him, he wasn't used to live with someone. He sat down in his computer room with the laptop in his lap and started it. As expected a chat window appeared almost immediately.


Heenim: Where the hell were you yesterday?!

Gaem: Worried about me?

Heenim: Almost called 112

Gaem: Awh, I was busy

Heenim: Too busy for this? Has never happened before

Gaem: Got an uninvited guest

Heenim: A burglar? Maybe I should have called 112

Gaem: Not like that pabo

Heenim: Dun call me pabo, PABO


Kyuhyun rolled his eyes. How typical of his friend. But he was actually a bit touched as it seemed like the other cared for him. And he usually never missed to log in at least for a moment every day. Maybe his friend had a reason to worry then. And now Heenim was nagging on him to tell him everything, so Kyuhyun pressed to button for doing a phone call. The other accepted right away, and then Kyuhyun realized he had never actually talked to his friend, had never heard the others voice.


"Tell me everything, right away!" The others voice sounded from the speakers of ther laptop and Kyuhyun jumped slightly in surprise, jerked away form his thoughts. Now he had least got it confirmed that his friend was a guy indeed. "Hello? Ya there? Should I hang up?"
He smiled at the others voice and leaned back in the chair. "Chill out, I'm here. I was just thinking."
"Oh, listen to that y voice. Bet you're a good singer." Kyuhyun's eyes widened slightly in surprise, he had not expected that comment.
"Uhm, no. I don't sing." He muttered.


"Pity, I bet you would be good. Aaaanyway, what do you mean with uninvited guest? Tell me!" Yep, the impression he had gotten over the chat seemed to fit in on the guy's real personality.
He wondered for a second if he should really tell the other, but then decided that it couldn't do any harm. "Remembered that new regular guest at the restaurant I mentioned once? He was suddenly standing by my door last night when I got home. Said he had followed me."
A gasp was heard form the laptop. "A stalker? Should I call 112?"
"No, wait! He's not a stalker. At least, I don't think he is. Well, he asked some weird questions at the restaurant, and then folllowed after me home."
"That, my dear Gaem, is the signs of a stalker. By the way, can I get your real name? Calling you Gaem now sounds weird." Kyuhyun had to agree. It sounded weird to actually be called Gaem.


"Alright, my real name is actually Kyuhyun. Cho Kyuhyun." He said.
"Kim Heechul, pleasure to get to know ya more. So Kyu, tell me more. Can I call you Kyu? I will do it even if you says no." Kyuhyun chuckled. He couldn't help but feel comfortable while talking to the supposedly older. The other just had something charming about him when he talked.
"The guy just walked right passed me and into my apartment like he owned the place. Then he flopped down on the couch and asked me if he could stay here. Quite a shock actually."
"He asked you what? What did you answer?" The other sounded eager to hear the rest, obviously finding it interesting.


"I agreed to let him stay, after we had talked some of course. He's going to pay half the rent and he can cook food." He could hear the other snort.
"Why the hell did you agree? What if he's weird or erted or is going to steal your stuff? How old is he anyway?" Kyuhyun sighed softly, he realized that it probably sounded a bit crazy. But he was pretty sure that Sungmin had been honest with him.
"He's three years older than me, and he's very kind. I don't think he's weird either. He said he needed a place to stay while he did his job."
"What kind of job could that be?"


"He's some sort of..bounty hunter, but he calls himself a Tracker. He's tracking a person, and needed a place to stay during that time."
"Wait, wait." Kyuhyun could hear the sceptical tone in the others voice. "A Tracker? I have never heard of it, ever."
"He explained that normal people aren't supposed to know about them."
He could still hear the sceptical tone. "And you believed him, a guy you have just met?"


Kyuhyun sighed heavily. Maybe telling the other had been a bad idea. "You know what? I'm going to let him stay for a bit. If I gets suspicious or he does anything, then I'll throw him out. I'll be careful, I promise."
"Alright, fine. It's not like I can stop you. And I have told you to call me hyung you brat!"
"How can I know for sure that you're older? I don't know your age, and you could be lying." Kyuhyun smirked. He wasn't going to be that easy for the other.

Sungmin sighed tiredly and put the key in the lock and after some struggling managed to unlock the door. Quietly he stepped inside and closed the door, in case Kyuhyun was already asleep. He took his shoes off and slipped out of his coat, frowning at the lonely hook on the wall that was already occupied by Kyuhyun's jacket.
With another sigh he brought the coat with him into the living room and hung it over the back of the couch. The he looked over to the bedroom and saw that the door was open. Then the younger still hadn't went to bed?


He looked over to the computer room and saw the light sipping through the crack of the door. Now that he listened, he could hear the other tap away at a keyboard.
He decided that he should announce that he was back and walked over to the door and pushed it open. Kyuhyun was seated in front of one of the computers and played some kind of computer game. Sungmin decided that it had to be Starcraft or something similar.


He looked at the younger. Kyuhyun's eyes were focused on the screen, his face all serious. His fingers were flying over the keys at an amazing speed and the younger didn't have to look down once to make sure he pressed the right key.
Sungmin had to admit that he was a bit impressed. He walked closer and looked at the screen at the intense game, waiting for a good chance to interrupt. He had to watch for a few minutes before a good opportunity came up. "That's pretty cool."


The younger jerked in his chair and glanced back at him before pausing the game. "When did you come back?" He asked and turned to face Sungmin properly.
"I have been home for around twenty minutes. I didn't want to interrupt your gaming." Sungmin answered with a smile. "Have you eaten by the way? I'm starving."
Kyuhyun slowly shook his head and turned the game off after saving.



Sungmin left the computer room and walked into the kitchen and started to prepare some fried rice and a vegetable and pork wok. He was soon joined by the other who leaned back against a counter and watched in silence.
"So you can't cook Kyuhyun-ah?" The younger shook his head. "And still you works in a restaurant."
Kyuhyun smiled slightly. "Why do you think I works as a waiter?" Sungmin chuckled softly and flipped the vegetables and pork around in the frying pan.


They ate their very late dinner while standing at the counter, both too hungry to care about sitting down. It was when they were about halfway through that Kyuhyun opened his mouth. "So, were you out for the case?" Sungmin nodded his head with his mouth full of pork.  "Did you find anything new?"
Sungmin swallowed and sighed. "No, only another lead that I'm pretty sure is false. I'm going to check it up tomorrow anyway, but yeah, as I said. It's probably a false one."


They cleaned the dish together, still a bit awkward in each others company and then went to bed, or in Sungmin's case, couch. It didn't take long before Sungmin was asleep, and dreaming about a vegetable playing games on Kyuhyun's computer while Kyuhyun was shooting at random flying shoes with Sungmin's sniper rifle.


 

Hi everyone~
Next chap is up, and I'm hungry :3

This is the deal folks, I'm going to try to update at least once a week if I'm not too busy. Sometimes I might even update more often.

The more comments I'll get, the faster I will update.
Simply because the comments inspire me to continue, while no response makes me sad and unappreciated and then the updates will be slow.

See ya all soon~
