It just another day when he too lazy to walk his feet up toward his school. He not combs his hair this morning, make it such a mess even he try to use his hand to fix it. His school uniform not in a good condition, we can see how he ed his shirt to only reveal a black T-shirt inside it, while his hand is still in his trousers pocket. He has his tie on his knuckle, tied up there with no reason. He yawning couple times as he get closer to his school.

His name is Shim Changmin, eighteen years old, and struggle enough to be a diligent student in his senior year. He’s the laziest person in school for someone with the highest score at the same time. He likes to sleep in class, but he always gets the perfect score in works and exams. He not really care about study for sure, even no one know how he could get a perfect score in every subject. Maybe, he’s the only senior year student that still doesn’t know what he gonna do after he graduate from high school.

“Ya Shim Changmin! Button up your shirt please!”

Changmin turn his head as he passes the main gate of his school. He try to find the source of the voice, which is actually come from his PE teacher who also his cousin. Changmin wave his left hand in the air as he walk his cousin by and left him without obeying what the older says.

He wants to live normal, really. He never asks for so much attention toward him, but then, you can do nothing when you’re born in this world with an incredible smart brain, and so good looking face. Some of student like to greeting him as he walk pass them by, eve most of it only replied by a hum or a waving hand. Female students like to giggling and blushing with no reason whenever he accidentally has eyes contact with them. He not hates his life, but he feels bored.

“You not sleep again tonight!?” Yoochun follow the younger gaze when he try to get into his seat, which actually behind him. Changmin get into his feet and put his head right away on his desk as he stare in front of him with his lazy gaze as an answer. Yoochun understand it and sigh “you should change your life a little bit Min.”

Changmin not respond it and only close his eyes. He turn his head to his left and let he catch a short sleep before the first class start.

----

“Ya! Sleepyhead!”

Changmin lift his head in second as he feels something quiet hard just hit his head. He still has his eyes close and turn his head to his surroundings. He open his eyes slowly and already found if Yoochun is the one that hit his head with English text book. Changmin straighten up his sits position as he yawning slowly.

“The class will start in second!” Yoochun look at the younger with lazy eyes “You better button up your shirt, and fix your appearance.”

Changmin nods slowly as he’s struggle enough to button up his shirt. His eyes still half closed which makes him kinda hard to find the button. After he done doing that, he untie his tie from his left knuckle and start to use it. His eyes are bloodshot because he just sleeps. He tilted his head slowly to his right as he closes his eyes again.

The teacher comes, and actually she’s a girl. She has that slight long straight hair. She has kind of sharp eyes and nice smile.  She’s a Chinese for sure, but no one know why she teach English.

Changmin open his eyes as he hears the door open and the teacher already stand in front of the class. He lazily takes the text book from his backpack and open random page because he not really interested anyway. The class start, and the teacher talk about some literature book that he not really get into, even he already read it when he was child. He has his eyes fixed outside, at how the cloud moving slowly in the sky, until it almost turn the blue sky into a grayish one. Rain will come.

“Changmin-ssi! Do you mind to share what you think right now!?”

Changmin turn his gaze toward his teacher who already has her hands on her waist. Honestly she’s a beautiful teacher for her age, but Changmin not interested with someone that older than him anyway. Changmin says a little and shrugs. He pointed to the window which is on his left with his mechanic pencil “Cumulus Nimbus”

All eyes on class turn their eyes toward where Changmin pointed. The skies already turn into grayish with the cloud, but it still not rain. His teacher just sighs, because even she kinda annoyed when one of her student not pay any attention toward her, but she can’t blame Changmin since he being honest.

“Just please pay attention to my class will you?” Changmin nods a little and focused back to the book on his desk as he just sees the picture on it. The class starts again, with Changmin who still not pay any attention to the teacher.

----

The sting smells makes Changmin sneezing couple times as his hand try to find the book from the shelves. The schools already ends half hour ago, but thank you to his beautiful English teacher who told the class to reviewing a book and the due from this task is next week. And now, he stuck in the public Library with Yoochun, try to find a simple book to review it.

He never gets into books. He never interested with it. Most of his books are only like a place for him to draws some doodles to less his boredom, but now he should read one. When he was young, actually he likes to read book. He even has a dream once to be an author, but then people change as the time goes by, including him. 

“You already find one!?” Changmin turn his body as he hears someone talk to him. Yoochun already piping up from his shoulder and look at the book in his hand “The Body!? I thought is an old book.”

“It is.” Changmin walk with Yoochun follows him behind toward the librarian near the main door “but I ever have a dream to exploring like them four. How about yours?”

“Le petit Prince”

“Isn’t that in French?” Changmin take the book when the librarian hand him. He put the book inside his backpack as he wait for Yoochun.

“I know,but she not tells us to focused only on English book right?” Yoochun take the book and put it inside his backpack, before joining Changmin to walk outside and leave for home.

----

“I hate Cumulus Nimbus” Changmin is grumbling slowly as he wipes his face with the handkerchief from his pocket.

The rain is fall, the heavy one. The sky turn into really dark as the water never stops to fall to the earth. Once or twice they can hear a loud thunder and the lightning that look like break the sky, make the magnificent view while it’s also scary at the same time.

They stand there in front of a place with a dark painting. Wanting to wait until the rain stops, so their belonging not ruin because of the rain. Changmin still busying himself with his damp shirt, that really feels uncomfortable since it sticky toward his body, it also makes him quiet shivers when the wind blows and tickling his neck. He not even realize when Yoochun already focusing his eyes to the door of the building beside him.

“I know this place.”

Changmin turn his head slowly only to find Yoochun smile toward the door which is actually made from a glass, but he can see anything inside, because of the dim light and the dark room. Changmin focused his eyes to the door where he can find a banner written there that maybe a name of this place.

Desiderate 

“Let’s go inside. We can ask for the warm.” Yoochun says slowly as he open the dark glass door and get inside. At first Changmin wouldn’t get inside the place, since it a suspicious place with a strange name, but then he sigh a little before he join the older inside the building.

It’s smells funny, like a vanilla mixed with strawberry milkshake at the same time. The wall of this place is painted in dark red with a dim yellow light on it. The carpet beneath his feet is on black color, and that’s explain why from outside, this place is totally dark. He can see Yoochun already stand in front of a counter where the woman in red dress is smile at him. From Changmin point of view, the woman is just like a e since how short her dress is with her thick make up and red lips. Changmin walk closer to Yoochun.

“Oh, so this is Changmin, your friend Yoochun-ah?” The woman smile toward Changmin, which somehow make something inside Changmin can’t resist to not smile back because for God sake, she’s beautiful “I’m Hyuna and nice to meet you.”

Changmin only smile widely and nods couple times. He can hear Yoochun giggle beside him as he replies the woman.

“So, noona, can you lend us a clothes or something? Because I believe the rain wouldn’t stop in hour or so, so when we go upstairs we not take so much attention.” Yoochun says with smirks that only received with a giggle from Hyuna.

“Course you can. As long as you always coming back and return the clothes right away. Wait a minute, okay?” Hyuna stand from her seat and walk toward the black door before she’s gone behind it.

Yoochun walk toward the chairs on the room and sit on one of it, before his act is followed by the younger. Yoochun turn his head toward Changmin who seem busy to examine the room and look at every inch to what he can found here. Yoochun laugh slowly “I thought you not interested with an older person Min.”

Changmin turn his gaze and stare at Yoochun with plain expression “I am, but I should admit if she’s beautiful”

Yoochun smirking and laugh slowly, makes Changmin turn his face into annoyed one, but he also laugh anyway. They just sit there side by side waiting for Hyuna back with the clothes that Yoochun ask from her. Changmin tapping his fingers in his lap as a question keep buzzing in his head over and over, before he braving himself to ask the older.

“So, actually, what kind of place it is?”

“Desiderate.” Yoochun says simply which makes Changmin raised one of his eyebrows questioningly “this place is kind of a Host Club”

“I ask noona to give us a clothes, so when we upstairs and meet the Hosts, we not going to take so much attention.” Yoochun sasy simply while Changmin look at him disbelieve “Oh, and maybe, noona will ask you what type of Host that you want.”

Changmin agapes his mouth couple times before he sigh in disbelieve “Wait, you drag me to this kind of place? Seriously, hyung, I’m just turn eighteen last month!”

“So!? I even discover this place when I was fourteen.” Yoochun laugh slowly with his eyes close. He can feel how the younger sudden panic attacks even he’s not seeing his expression right now. He can hear how Changmin mumbling slowly about what he should says to his parents about this. “You don’t need to tell about this to anyone Min. Make this to be our little secret. So don’t tell anyone, not your parents, Yunho, everyone”

Changmin want to say something toward Yoochun, but he stops it when suddenly Hyuna come from the door and give the two a shopping bag. She handed Yoochun the yellow one while Changmin the purple one. She smile toward the two before Yoochun bring Changmin to change in the restroom.

Yoochun close the door behind and get inside to one of the stall in the rest room. Changmin only can see how the older back slowly disappear behind the green door. He looks back at his right hand where he holds the purple paper bag.

“Oh God, seriously.” He sighs slowly before get into one of the stall where Yoochun is and start to change his clothes.

.

.

.

“I don’t understand how noona know your size, seriously, you just look perfect Min!”

Changmin just stare lazily at his reflection on the wide mirror in front of him. He and Yoochun already change their clothes, and Yoochun is fixing his appearance while Changmin only ruffles his hair to make it worse than this morning. Yoochun laugh slowly when he sees how Changmin look and he handed the younger a small bottle of perfume.

“We never want the Host thinks we just have a swim competition on a lake, don’t we?”

Changmin just look at the bottle of Marc Jacob’s Rain in his hand before he use it slowly to whole his body. He handed the bottle back to Yoochun and turns his body so he can lay his body on the sink.

“I don’t understand what just happen in these past few hours.”

“You know.” Changmin follow the older act as he laid a hand on his shoulder “maybe, this is something that gonna changes your life a little bit, from the smart brain, into smart , and I’ll make sure you thanks me afterward”

“Hahaha, you’re funny.” Changmin laugh sarcastically as he start to walk toward the door “If that things really happen hyung, I’ll give you my lunch for three months.” before they out from the rest room and find Hyuna again.

.

.

.

“Why you not asking Yoochun hyung too noona?” Changmin turn his head toward Yoochun that already take the stairs and leave. Hyuna smile slowly “Well, he not picky person, so he’ll easily get into any Host.”

He now still in the lobby of this building with Hyuna, since she says that she like to ask Changmin what type of Host that he want. He just also know if Yoochun actually already pay about this for him too, which make him just need to choose the host right away.

“So we have girls on yo—“

“Actually…” Changmin rubs behind his neck slowly “I’m not really gets into girls.”

Hyuna stop in second, before she turn his mouth into an ‘o’ shape and nods her head in understatement. She smile afterwards and take a quiet thick book that more like a photo albums before open the page and turn it so Changmin can see directly to what inside the book.

“You know, Yoochun also into boys actually.” Hyuna says slowly and only replied by a shocked look from Changmin, because for real, he never know if his friend is also into boys “I bet he never tell you, isn’t he?”

Changmin shook his head as look at her blankly. She just laughs at how naïve Changmin is.

Honestly, Changmin is not that type of bad boy guy. Half of his life is spend to be momma’s boy, a good type of kid at home, with a highest grade on every semester. He never like to fooling around afterschool like his another friends, including Yoochun. He never has a real close friend, since all he thought is finish his education really fast and take over his dad company, like what his mom always says toward him since young. He leave all his dream like being an author or explorer at the age twelve when his dad die and make his mom take over the company. She always makes Changmin to be a perfect figure of son, that every parent want. He can’t refuse what his mom asks, because he loves her, since she’s the only one that he has now.

“So, which one do you like?”

Changmin shook his head slowly as he back into reality when Hyuna ask him. He put his gaze back to the book in front of him as he scans every pages of it. The book is filled with an identity of men that use a mask on their face like in masquerade. They also have a strange name that Changmin sure it’s not their real name. He keeps flipping the pages until he sigh a little and close it, before give the books back to Hyuna.

“So, you already have one?” Hyuna ask as she put the book back under the table.

For sure, the men in the book all are good looking. They have a look that Changmin never seen in whole his life, but it just, he not feels like he found anyone, even he not seeing the book until the last page “I don’t know noona, it just confusing.”

Hyuna seems understand to the high school students in front of him. Seeing at how changmin react since the first time, she’s sure Changmin never get into something like this, or maybe, he never has any boyfriend or in love with someone “Okay then, all you need to do is just tell me, what type of guy that you dream of?”

Changmin laid his back on the chair as he see the dark ceiling over them. He close his eyes slowly as he try to picturing a person of his dream since he was young, a person that come up into his mind after he read a book Through the Fire.

“I don’t know,” he smile as he closes his eyes “maybe he smells nice like a meadow on the hill. He not taller than me, but he has that smiles which can make anyone addicted to seeing it over and over again, even that mean, I should die by the sweetness of his voice that come from his mouth. His lips are have a sweet color, and just by seeing it, can makes me sure if it taste sweet like a peach on early spring whenever it touch mine. He has that fair skin, pale like he sick, so that makes me feels like I should be the one that protect him from the cruel world.”

Hyuna just stare at the younger figure in front of her that still has his eyes closed. She can’t believe actually that now she’s amaze by the words that come out from Changmin. It’s the first times, she has a goosebumps just because hearing someone describe the person of their dream.

“Oh, and the most important thing is…” Changmin opens his eyes and fixed his sit position. He look at Hyuna in the eyes while she still look amaze with the words “he has those very beautiful eyes like honey-hazel and stardust.”

“Wow…” Hyuna mumbling slowly with a smile that she can’t hide since the first place “It just… wow.”

Changmin raised one of his eyebrows as he look at the older questioningly. He tilted his head to his side as wait to every reaction that the older give, but there’s only a wide smile. Hyuna rise from her seat and laugh slowly to herself “I’m not sure if I ever meet someone like that, but maybe, you’ll like this one. Follow me.”

Changmin turn his gaze toward the woman that already takes the first step on the stairs. He quickly takes his backpack with and follows Hyuna upstairs. There are so many doors upstairs, with some numbers like in a hotel. Changmin passing some room that made by glass wall, showing some man with a girls that must be the Hosts since they use the masquerade mask. The smells of the hallway is totally stink, mixed between perfume, booze, smokes, sweat and . He sure behind the closed door, in few room, there must be a couple who do this and that now. Or maybe Yoochun do that also.

Changmin shook his head quickly as he picturing his best friend do something gross in his age. He continue to walk follow Hyuna until she stops in front of one room which is almost in corner. Changmin look at the door slowly where’s there always a write of kind like a name, on a small board on the door. He already passes some door with some strange name, and now, he try to understand what the name in front of this door means.

Gaem

He raised one of his eyebrows as he still can’t understand what the words mean. Hyuna take her phone slowly as she calls someone on the other line with a low voice. Changmin only look at her before back to the wooden door and wait. Hyuna ends the phone after like five minutes and unlock the room before open it.

“Okay, you can get inside and wait.” She moves aside so Changmin can get inside the room slowly. “He’s still change clothes, he’ll be right here when he done. Are you okay if I leave you?”

Changmin sit on the couch in the room. He looks at Hyuna and smile slowly “yeah, that’s fine noona. Thanks.” Hyuna smile toward Changmin before slowly she close the door.

The room is not that big, it’s more like a karaoke room for sure. There’s a LCD TV on the wall, and a coffee table in front of the couch. Changmin examine the room and found nothing beside the picture of a man use a masquerade mask on the wall. He can’t see perfectly the picture, since the room use a dim light and the color of wallpaper which is dark not help at all.

Changmin look at his watch which shows it almost five. He quickly take his phone out from his backpack, because he sure his mom must already called him, and he’s right. There’s already three miscalled from his mom. He quickly calls his mom right away.

“Hell—“

“Where are you!?” The other line says with a quiet mad tone.

“I’m in…” Desiderate. He never gonna says that, or his mom will kill him right away whenever he’s home “Yoochun’s home mom. There’s Math problems that we should collect tomorrow, and Yoochun ask my help.”

He can hear his mom sigh on the other line. Inside in his heart, he feel guilty “Okay, but make sure you’re home before nine. I’m still on work, I’ll home late.”

Changmin just humming in response “Make sure you do your work and don’t forget to eat, okay? I should end calls, I love you.”

“Okay, love you too.” Changmin end up the call and put his phone back on his bag. He too busy with his own world and doesn’t realize if there’s already pairs of eyes stare at him on the doorway behind the masquerade mask.

“So an affair huh?”

Changmin quickly lift his head from his bag and his eyes locked to the figure in doorway. He swallowing his saliva as the figure walks inside the room and close the door behind before locking it. He forgot how to breaths for awhile when the figure walk closer to the couch, to where he sits with a walk that sort kind of seductive.

Oh Lord, please forgive him.

Changmin still has his eyes widen as the figure slowly stops in front of him. Changmin quickly move aside, so he not gets so much closer to the man. He can hear how the man giggle when Changmin move awkwardly and avoid his gaze. He takes a seat beside Changmin.

“So, you still high school huh? Senior year?”

Changmin nods his head quickly and make the figure only smirks madly at seeing how innocent and naïve Changmin is. He uses a school uniform too, but for a girl. He uses a skirt, a real skirt that has a dark color and quiet short. It even not covers half of his thigh. Changmin gulping slowly when he can see how pale and flawless the man’s skin is, from his thigh that uncovered with the skirt. The man use a slight thigh shirt that can make Changmin see perfectly the shape of the other’s body.

“Oh my God!” Changmin rise from the couch and sit cross legged on the floor instead. He had his head down as his hands keep ruffling his hair and make it totally a mess. He laugh bitterly to himself as he lift his head up so it can laid on the end of the couch, as he stare at the ceiling “You must be annoyed toward me now, or you really want to burst of laughter right in front of my face.”

“Honestly I never get into something like this for sure.” Changmin says slowly as he close his eyes. The man only looks at him from the couch with an expression that can’t be explained “I’m sorry, maybe I’m so naïve in your eyes, but I am.”

The man can see at how Changmin breaths quiet fast, he must be really nervous right now. He smile sweetly even he know Changmin can’t seeing him since he still close his eyes. He join the other on the floor before he laid his head on Changmin’s left shoulder “You’re really such a dork, but in adorable way.”

Changmin open his eyes slowly when he can feel something laid on his right shoulder. He can see the brown lock beside him and something warm start to get inside his body madly. His heart thumping really fast as the man’s finger start tapping on his thigh make a nice rhythm in silent.

“But I like it.” The man says slowly before he lifts his head and look at Changmin in the eyes “I like this adorable high school naïve guy who now staring at my eyes.”

Changmin look at the man slowly. He can see perfectly his face even there’s a mask that cover half of it. The man has a nice pointed nose and a skin that must be soft. He put his eyes on the man’s lip, which is have a pink color and should be taste nice if he has a chance to taste it. He turns his eyes to the man’s eyes, he can see what he found since always, and he amaze with that.

“Your eyes are so beautiful, like a mixed of honey-hazel and stardust.”

The man opens his mouth a little as he keeps staring at Changmin. He lost his breath for awhile when he hears the younger’s word, which is something new for him. He blinks his eyes couple times before he take his gaze away from that dark brown orbs that seeing him with a look that he can’t explain.

The man bites his bottom lip slowly before he asks “So, what is your name?”

“Changmin.” Changmin says simply as his eyes still on the man that tries to avoid his gaze “and I’m eighteen.”

“Really!? I’m twenty two.” The man quickly rises from the ground as he walks slowly toward the refrigerator on the corner of the room before he opens it. He looks for a drink “do you mind with a coke?”

“No.” Changmin rise from the ground and back to the couch. He sits there as his eyes never leave the man “can I know your name?”

The man walks back from the refrigerator and sits beside Changmin. He handed the younger a can of coke before he open his and take a sip slowly “No.”

“Why?”

“That’s the rule.” The man says slowly before he put the coke on the table “But you can call me Gaem.”

Changmin nods in understatement before he opens his own can of coke and sips the liquid slowly. There’s no word come up from the two, which makes the room turn into a real silence, but it’s not awkward. It feels like just a silent that they need, no need a word to say because it feels like they already understand toward each other.

“So, what we do now?” Gaem ask Changmin who still stare blankly at the TV screen which is actually off. Changmin turn his head slowly to him and shrugs “Do you mind if we just talk?”

Gaem stare at the younger for awhile before a small smile plastered on his face “Not at all”

.

.

.

They talk about so many things lately. Changmin like to talk about his school, how his mom is overly protective and about all his friends that too noisy sometimes. And Gaem like to talk about his work which is he actually sort kind of businessman when he not go into Desiderate. He also a fresh graduate from college actually, and thanks to his smart brain which make him finish his education and graduate with summa laude. They also talking about if it actually an accident if Changmin come into this place because of the heavy rain outside, which somehow make Gaem quiet thankful to the heavy rain.

“So why you not take the science department for college if you really great at science?”

They already sit on the ground again, side by side as their back is laid on the end of the couch. Changmin gives his jacket toward Gaem to cover his exposes thigh because seriously, it just a temptation for him to do something which he might be regret later on. At first, Gaem refuse to use that, but because Changmin insist and he found how innocent the younger is, he just laughs and takes the jacket before cover himself.

“Even I always get a good score at science that doesn’t mean I love it.” Changmin says simply as he emptied the third can of coke today. He laid his head on the couch and face at the ceiling as he thought about his life.

Gaem look at the younger slowly from behind his mask. He can see how the younger jaw is define perfectly even he’s still young. He also has that quiet muscular body, that he found when he accidentally seeing it when Changmin try to take off his Jacket and makes his shirt quiet lifted up a bit, showing him the define body with an abs. He shook his head slowly from his though about the younger, because seriously, he shouldn’t has any feeling for anyone.

“So, what do you like actually?” Gaem says slowly still his eyes fix at the younger “things that you really love?”

Changmin pouting his mouth slowly as he gets into his thought about the question. He closes his eyes slowly and doesn’t realize if the older still looking at him with some kind of amaze eyes just from his appearance. Gaem looks at Changmin who closes his eyes, looking at how quiet long the younger eyelashes are. Changmin says slowly

“Words.”

“Huh!?”

Changmin open his eyes and lift his head to see the older on his side “I love words. I ever want to be an author when I was young, but then my mom told me not to so, but being a businessman instead.”

They still stare into each other eyes like that for minutes. Changmin seeing how the color of Gaem eyes change slowly whenever he move it to the other things which make the light can see the impression of the shade inside the hazel orb, while Gaem can only swim deep inside the eyes that have a color like dark Chocolate.

“I’m actually gay.” Gaem says slowly without he realizes it. He quickly put his gaze down as the words already spills out from his mouth, he can’t take it back, so all he can do is continue to what he want to says “but I’m never tell my family about it.”

Changmin straighten up his seat when he sees the older start to put his gaze down and only focused at his hands over his laps. He move his sits position to get closer at the older a little bit “So, is that why whenever you not go to your work, you come here as Gaem?” Gaem nods slowly as he lifts his head to find the younger already smile sweetly toward him. He doesn’t understand why but honestly, it feels nice “so have you ever in love to someone actually?”

“No” Gaem says simply as he take another can of coke on the table, before he open it and take a sips “Love is stupid and useless”

“Why!? You work as a Host, you meet so much guys, there must be someone attract you, even just a little”

 Changmin take the coke from Gaem hands when the older give him the can that already half empty. He sips slowly as his eyes never leave the older who smiles bitterly like he remembers all the things in his life.

Gaem take the can back from the younger hands “Yes you’re right, but there’s no one though.” He laughs slowly and take a sips of the coke.

“How about if—“ Changmin stops halfway when he can feels his phone is vibrated in his pocket. He gives a sign to Gaem for wait as the older nods and emptied the can. He looks at the phone screen which is there actually a message from Yoochun. He open and read it in silent.

.

From: Yoochun Hyung

Where are you? Noona says you haven’t home yet. I’ll be downstairs in fifteen minutes. We should home quickly if you don’t want to die in your mom’s hand tonight.

.

Changmin widen his eyes and look at his watch in his left hand which shows it almost seven. He widens his eyes and quickly stands from the ground and put his phone on his pocket, which make the older on the ground stare at him questioningly.

“I should home! It’s already late!” Changmin quickly fixed his appearance and take his belonging. He uses his backpack and walk toward the door. He even forgot about the other presence inside the room with him. He almost walks outside, but he stops when he has his hand on the knob. He turns his body.

Gaem already stand on his feet too. He still stands on his place, and still using Changmin’s jacket that the younger gave him before. The Jacket is over size him, since Changmin is taller, beside the jacket is also over size Changmin which make it two times wider for Gaem. He has his hand in front of him, hugging himself like he tries to remember the warmness and the smells of the owner of the Jacket. He smiles slowly as he looks at the younger.

Changmin put his gaze down and rubs behind his neck awkwardly “I know it’s creepy, but… can I touch your lips?”

Changmin lift his head slowly and only find the older questioning look that quiet intimidate him. He quickly put his gaze down and close his eyes as he cursing himself for being so stupid saying something like that “Well, not that I mean like—no I mean with my hands—no I mean—I just want to, you know touch it with my finger to feel even—oh sorry…”

Gaem just smile teasingly at the younger, because seriously, seeing the rambling, flustered, Changmin was rather endearing. He walks closer to the younger and stops right in front of him. Their faces are inches apart and make Gaem can feel the younger breath even from this gap. He takes Changmin left hands and leads the younger fingers to his lip slowly.

Changmin lift his head a little and found if Gaem already has his eyes closed. He can feel the soft plump lips between his fingers as the older lead his finger to move from the corner of his lips to the bottom one. Changmin only can close his eyes as he feels the softness from the other as a small whimper escape from his mouth.

Gaem realize it even with his eyes close. He opens his eyes and takes Changmin right hand before it join the other on his lips. He kisses both Changmin’s knuckles slowly which successfully take the younger attention by open his eyes. He smile a little with his hands still hold Changmin’s and lead the younger hands to the mask that he use.

Changmin widen his eyes as he can feel the cold from the mask that he touches with his skin. He also agape couple times as Gaem lead his hands to the ribbon behind the shorter head that tied the mask before he untied it slowly. Gaem still has his head quiet down which makes Changmin only can see the other a little behind the brown-annoying-lock. With a trembling hand, Changmin take the mask off from the other face.

The mask already in his hands and Gaem lift his head slowly. He opens his eyes and revealing the hazel-honey orbs that always enchanted Changmin to never stop admire it in every second. The younger only stay in silent, because he amaze by the perfection in front of him.

“Hi…”

Changmin can’t stop his lips to not curve into smile when Gaem says the word. Call him crazy or silly, but he should admit if he feels something warm spreading up in his whole body.

“Hi…” 

They stay like that in silent. Not says words or moving. Only stare at each other face, especially Changmin who still look at the older without blinking. If this morning in school he still thought about he not interest to a person that older than him, for god sake, he really like to take his word back, because seriously he like this older person in front of him.

“Oh God! That must be Chunnie hyung!” Changmin rolled his eyes as he takes his phone from his pocket which vibrated couple times. He got a messages which is from Yoochun tell him to get downstairs right away. Changmin quickly put his phone back and turn his body toward the door.

“This, your jacket…” Gaem says slowly as he tries to take ofs the jacket, but Changmin stops him “No, you can take it, beside I got it from Hyuna noona, so I guess it’s her.”

Gaem nods couple times before he look at the younger who struggle to open the locked door with his left hand. He already unlocked the door when he handed him the masquerade mask back, but Gaem shake his head “Take it, says it as a present from me.”

Changmin smile and open the door before he leaves the room. Leaving Gaem to see at how the door close and he back into his own world alone. He sighs a little before walk toward the couch again, to have a little sit before him home when a voice make him turn his body in second.

“Gaem!?” Changmin already open the door again, and he stands on the doorway, ready to leave soon.

“Yeah?”

“Can we meet again?”

Inside his stomach, he feels something flipping madly and nice spread to his body “Sure, I’d love to”

Changmin nods slowly before smile “Thanks for today. Bye.”

“Bye.” And with that, Changmin leave the room, and not back again like before.

“So I guess, I’ll have three months of free lunch then.” Yoochun says quiet loud when he catches a glimpse of Changmin on the stairs like try to put something inside his backpack.

Hyuna only giggling as she hears what the younger says, before she hands Yoochun his school uniform that already being laundry by Hyuna.  Changmin also get his uniform when he already downstairs from Hyuna. He not respond to what Yoochun says and only nods to the woman before he walk outside leaving Yoochun who quickly try to catch up with him, after leave some tips for Hyuna who laugh teasingly toward them.

“So, you like the place don’t you?” Yoochun says teasingly when the younger seems try to not really get into the conversation. Yoochun only smirks when Changmin not reply it “aaah, I know you do.” And laugh slowly which make Changmin join it moments later.

“I hate to say this, but thanks to the heavy rain, and your Casanova souls for brings me to that place.” Changmin says with a small laugh as Yoochun put a hand around his shoulder as the two start to walk again with a small chat under the dark sky to home.

They not even realize if there’s already pairs of eyes stare at them from inside a black car from the side of the road.

----

They walk again side by side that night. It just something routine for them, as the place close, they would walk home together since their place for living is in same block and not that far toward each other.

Hyuna has a brown mantle cover up his body, while a black high boots are on her feet. She has a grey scarf that lingered on her neck as her hands on her mantle pocket to less the cold. And the other person just like the other day. He likes to use a jeans and a sneaker with a sweater, but the different for tonight is, he use a slightly oversized jacket to cover him from the cold of the night.

“So how’s is it?” Hyuna says slowly as they walk side by side. They can see a smoke that made from their breath on the air “I mean, how’s Changmin?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, what you guys actually doing?” Hyuna says as she tries to explain what she asks. It’s kinda weird actually, because on another day, whenever she asks about someone that he being hosted, he liked to answer right away with an answer which most of them is boring, no fun, or old. But now, he just act like he doesn’t know what to say about Changmin, or he really has nothing to says about.

“We just talk.” He says simply as he kicking the small rock on the street that make it rolls to the front. “He just too naïve, too innocent, but an adult at the same time.”

Hyuna sigh as she lifts her head to see the dark skies. She smile slowly as she look at how the stars in the sky is shining quiet bright and make it coloring the dark sky in the beautiful ways “But he special isn’t he?”

“Huh!?”

“I know you always thought if Love is stupid, useless and stuffs, but think about this.” Hyuna stops right away when they already arrived in front of a black gate of a house in the block, which is actually her house “this is the first time you open your mask for your client, aren’t you?”

Hyuna smile slowly before she pats the other’s shoulder with her hand “Good night Kyu, home safe and sleep well” before she open the gate and get inside leaving the other still stare at the place to where she stand moments ago.

He turns his heels away and starts walking as he put his hands inside the jacket pocket and walk toward his home. He smile slowly as he mumbling sweetly

“Changmin…”
