Key was going crazy cleaning their apartment. He suddenly wished they lived in a larger house, not because he was greedy but because Kim Heechul was coming to visit. Key had been working with the man for a month and was awed by his genius. Heechul had noticed his natural talent and kept a close eye on him. So, when Key asked for a day off because his boyfriend had an audition, Heechul invited himself over.

Jonghyun caught his frantic lover and pulled him onto his lap. He locked his arms around Key and let him struggle, not relinquishing his hold.

“Jjong,” he whined. “Let me go, I’ve got to clean.”

“Kibummie, the apartment is spotless. Taemin is still asleep, you’ve cooked something delicious and your boss loves you already. I need to leave in five minutes and I am very nervous because this is the last round of the audition. Now sit with me and cuddle.”

Key sighed and snuggled into his boyfriend. Jonghyun was right; he was getting worked up over nothing. He buried his face in Jonghyun’s neck.

“This is very nice for two university students,” he remarked casually.

“Our parents pitched in for the deposit. Please sit down, hyungnim.”

“Kibum, it’s just hyung. Don’t use formalities with me unless you want me to treat you like a stranger.”

Key nodded and hurried to get some tea and refreshments. Once they got the casual pleasantries out of the way, they started working in earnest. They worked diligently for about an hour, discussing Heechul’s fall collection, when they were suddenly interrupted by loud crying.

Key ran out of the room to get Taemin, the toddler quieting as soon as he saw Key. He carried the toddler to the kitchen to get a bottle of milk and then took him into the living room.

Heechul silently ob
