A little spoiler: Yes. He's confusing, really. ;)

Yuri POV

*30th-of-July-2017*

"Damn hell. Tiffany's really so ing hot." Sooyoung snapped as he took a sip from his mug of beer. Apparently, we four guys decided to have our Sunday afternoon hanging out at his and Hyoyeon's new place's leisure hall. Yeah, they have a leisure hall.

"Did she really do all those?" he asked.

"Yup."

"And you endured it all?"

"Yup."

"Did you really endure it all?" Taeyeon butted while playing a PS4 fighting game against Yoong.

"Yes."

"Is that the truth, hyung?" Yoong asked.

I sighed loudly, "Fine. I almost gave in."

The three of them laughed. "I knew it." Taeyeon said.

"Hey, you can't blame me. Steph's so freaking pushy. I just got no choice."

"What exactly did make you surrender?" Soo asked. "The tight, y leather suit? The stilettos? The side-swept hair? Her husky and y voice?"

Taeng butted, "Or her underwear?"

"Or her bare, milky-white skin?" Yoong added.

"You know, guys. This conversation's getting awkward."

"What's awkward in this, man? You two aren't together anymore, anyway." Soo answered.

"That's not my point. She's our friend. We aren't supposed to talk about her this way."

"There's no harm answering our question, bro. It's Tiffany. There's no harm. Besides, she wouldn't get to hear about this, anyway."

I sighed again, "Fine."

"So? What's your answer?"

"The underwear. It was freaking bright red."

"Oh..." they all uttered. Taeyeon somewhat paused their game. Then, the three of them spaced out as if getting inside their own fantasies.

These s never change.

But yeah... that bright red underwear. I couldn't get it off from my mind. It so daaaaayymmmnnn complements her milky white skin.

*Sigh*. Aigoo… Stephanie…

"What are you boys spacing out for?" Hyoyeon suddenly uttered, making us all snap out from our thoughts. She arrived inside the leisure hall with snacks being carried by her maids. Hyoyeon and I already made up, by the way. "I prepared snacks for everyone."

"Thanks, Hyo!" we all uttered. We gathered at the mini dining table as the maids began serving the food.

"Oh. I wouldn't ask anymore." Then, she interrogated, "You're all thinking of erted thoughts, aren't you?"

"We're thinking of Tiffany in her bright red lingerie." Sooyoung bluntly admitted.

"Yeah..." the other two guys uttered in unison as they immersed into their own fantasies again. Well... *sigh*. Yeah. Me too. Damn that woman. She's really soooooooooo...

"Yah. Guys! Snap out!" Hyoyeon suddenly uttered again. She then looked at her future husband in disbelief, "Yah, Sooyoung. We're getting married in two months' time and you're fantasizing about Tiffany now, huh?"

"Oh. Come on. Give me a break. It's Tiffany, okay. She's an exception to the rule."

"How could she be an exception to the rule?! She's your first girlfriend!"

"Yah, don't shout!"

"You are really a ! We're only two who became your girlfriend yet, you're saying she's an exception to the rule?! Aiishhh-- seriously, you are really so freaking---!"

"Hyoyeon, calm down, okay." Taeyeon butted. "Relax. Chill. She's really an exception to the rule since, you know, she's labeled by someone now."

She then looked at me. "Are you back together with her now?"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Stephanie and I aren't meant to be."

She continued to look at me in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"Yup."

"So, there's no more you and her for good?"

"Yup."

"Hmmm." She then smirked. "Oh, okay."

"Yah, Hyoyeon. I am really serious on this."

"Oh really? Will you be able to resist her charm? Who knows? Maybe in one of these days, you two will be back together again."

"That will not happen."

Sooyoung butted, "And if that happens, I will win the bet."

Yoong snapped at me, "Yah. Yuri-hyung. Just make sure to hold your horses for uhhmm... 57 more days, okay? Make me win the bet."

"Shut up, you idiots. Stephanie and I will never be back together so not anyone of you will win the bet."

Hyoyeon then redirected to Yoong, "You. What's your status with Jessica?"

"Hmmm. Friends." He grinned widely. "With benefits."

"Really?" Hyoyeon looked at him disbelievingly, "So, you're freaking telling me, until now you're still not back together with her?"

"Uhhh, yeah?"

She exchanged her glance at the both of us, "Are you two really s or something? Why are you two making it hard for my two besties? After you played with their feelings, you two decided to shove them off again? Gosh, seriously, you Kwons are damn freaking heads."

"Kwons?" Yoong repeated in question.

Hyoyeon looked at us in horror. Then, she faked a laugh. "Just kidding! I just presumed you two are brothers since, you know, you guys are freaking heads. Hahahahhahahaha! But, there's no meaning to that. Hahahahhahahaha!"

*Sigh*. Damn that Jessica. I'm sure she's the one who blabbed this fact on her.

"Anyway, I uhhmm-- I'll be going now." Hyoyeon then hurried her way out.

Yoong then suddenly got immersed in his own thoughts. It seemed to have sunk down into his head. He even glanced at me briefly then stared back at nothingness.

"So, when are you gonna be back together with Jessica?" Taeyeon snapped at Yoong.

Yoong narrowed his eyes at him, "Why do you ask?"

"Can't I ask that question?"

"It sounds like you're planning something."

"Well... Just in case you don't know... Sir Vincent likes me very much for his daughter." Taeyeon confidently stated as he smirked at the younger guy.

"So, what are you implying to then?"

"Hmmm. Nothing. I just want you to be aware of it."

Yoong continued to glare at him. Taeyeon returned a mischievous look. Yoong then stood up, somewhat looking grumpy, then uttered, "I'm going to the restroom." he then left as if almost stomping his feet.

"What are you doing?" I asked Taeng.

"Giving him a push to stop being stupid." He looked at me. "It looks like Jessica's plan on returning to play girl lane didn't work. I'm just giving a hand to mend their relationship."

"So, Jessica asked you for this?" Soo asked.

"What? No, no. I just decided to help out."

...

He chuckled, "Now, what? Why are you two staring at me like that?"

"You've changed a lot, Taeng." I answered. "This is so not you."

"I know. But, like I said, Yuri, we ain't kids no more."

...

"There's no more room for immaturities in our lives." He smiled faintly as he looked away. "All I wanted now is for Jessica's true happiness. And I am not the one that can give her that."

"Wow." Sooyoung then clapped his hands. "Wow, man."

Taeyeon chuckled, "Stop mocking me, Soo."

"I am not mocking you." He continued to clap. "You deserve a round of applause, Taeng."

"Yeah." I seconded and applauded too. "Who would have thought the oldest out of us four would turn to be the most matured in the end?"

He glared at me, "Yah. Stop mocking me!"

"We're not really mocking you, okay. We're just really proud of you, Taeng." I placed my hand on his shoulder. "I am so proud of you."

He chuckled again, "Whatever, dude."

"Don't eat your words someday, okay?"

"What? Why would I?"

"Because it's Jessica."

Soo butted, "Yeah. What if there comes a time when Jessica suddenly got her head knocked on the wall and realized she loves you more?"

Taeyeon chuckled again as he responded, "That would be so much impossible. That's never gonna happen, man."

"You can't exactly close doors to the possibility, you know."

"Shut up. Can't we just change topic already?"

"No, there's no change topic privilege for you. Just freaking answer it first."

"Jessica and I already talked, okay. We already had closure. A very good closure." He looked away again and sadness was now obvious in his eyes. "Please stop getting my hopes up again. I'm not that much of a er for pain..."

It was then an awkward silence among us. To lighten up the mood, though, Sooyoung joked, "You know, dude. I think you're the real emo one in our gang, not her."

Taeyeon chuckled and responded, “Yeah, I guess you’re right..."

Sooyoung then quickly redirected the topic as he looked at me, "So, what are you gonna do on your date with Tiff on Tuesday, Yul?"

I sighed deeply, "I don't know. That woman... she's the one who requested for a date with me. Now, she wanted me to be the one who should think of a place to go."

"Well, you're the guy. You should really be the one who should think of a place." Taeyeon responded.

"I don't know... I don't have a place in mind right now. Might help me out?"

"Love Motel." he answered and grinned widely. "Take her to those concept rooms. You can try the outer space one or the classic Korean palace, there are many good concepts out there. Just let her choose what she wants."

I looked at him in disbelief, "Really, Taeng? Really?"

"Fine dining restaurant." Sooyoung suggested. Then, he grinned mischievously, "Then, take her to a high-class hotel. Not just some kind of a love motel with cheap concept rooms."

Taeyeon glared at him, "Yah. Are you stupid? Tiff and Yul have been living a very classy and wealthy lifestyle for years. I'm sure Tiff will appreciate it more if Yul will just bring her to a love motel. And, I'm sure she loves role-plays. Concept rooms will really help on the imagination part."

"Hmmm. You kinda have a point there, midget."

I butted, "I am not gonna take her to a love motel or a rich and classy hotel! Aiiisshh..."

"Oh. Come on, Yuri. I know you two will just end up on such place by night." Soo teased.

"Shut up. I will never fall for her seduction again. It will be over my dead body."

"But, aren't you already dead?" Taeyeon joked then they both shared a laugh.

*Sigh*. These heads are really ticking me off.

Soo uttered, "You don't need our help, Yul. I'm sure you'll come up with something and I'm sure Tiffany will like it. She's with you. That's what matters for her, you know."

Taeyeon added, "Just make sure to not make it so lame, okay? Tiffany deserves a nice birthday celebration, you know."

"Yeah, whatever."

"But, if you need some help, you can just call us."

"Thanks."

"I'm back!" Yoong cheerfully uttered as he arrived. From the looks of it, he seemed to have already talked to Jessica about what Taeng mentioned earlier, that, he looked somewhat relieved. He went to take his seat. "What did I miss?"

"We're suggesting of places Yuri should take Tiff on her birthday." Soo answered.

"Oh." Yoong responded then he looked at me, "Better not take her to places where there are a lot of kids around. If you'll be taking her to one, make sure to have her attention only to you and not make her eyes wander around kids. That's what Sunkyu and I have been doing while we went to amusement parks with her last year. Luckily enough, we went to such place during the non-peak season. There were not many kids around."

"Ah. I see... Definitely not in an amusement park then."

"Just take her whenever she's going to be relaxed. Make sure it'll be private too."

"Yoong."

He chuckled, "I'm dead serious, bro. At least, in a secluded place, you won't have troubles with random kids running around."

Taeyeon butted, "That's why Soo and I suggested for him to take her to a motel or hotel. That place is somewhat relaxing and with so much privacy, you know."

"But, didn't hyung imposed restrictions on their upcoming date?" Yoong asked back. Then, the three of them exchange glances at each other. Afterwards, they laughed loudly. "Who am I kidding?! Hahaahahahahahaha!"

Soo responded, "They're freaking gonna end up having , dude! Hahahahahaha!"

"Shut up, you heads!" I shouted. "I'm gonna show you three, I am a man of my word! I will not have with Stephanie on her birthday!"

"But, you will after 12 o' clock?” Yoong asked and smiled at me mischievously.

I glared at him, "Never will!"

"If you say so, dude." Taeyeon said then chuckled.

Soo butted, "But, good luck on you, bro. I'm sure it will be so hard for you."

"Yeah, thanks. I kinda needed that luck on her."

Yoong chuckled, "You know, Yuri-hyung, you are really, really weird. Other men including us would really wish to sleep with Tiff. B
