The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn Is Just To Love, And Be Loved In Return

"Bean?"

"Mmm?"

"I'm going to miss you"

"I'm going to miss you too"

"What if...what if we never see each other again?"

The older looks down at the maknae. Although his actions contradict a lot of things, Lee Hongbin would never actually look down at Han Sanghyuk. He had too much respect, too much love for the younger.

"Don't think like that Hyukkie" Hongbin knew that what his lover was saying was true...to an extent. Hongbin would leave tomorrow, and not be back for three years but according to Sanghyuk, "A lot can happen in three years"

And he was right. A lot can happen in three years, but neither boy could afford to think like that right now. If they did think like that...well it's happened before, many a time and each episode has ended the same. Hongbin holding his Sanghyuk, comforting him, whispering beautiful sweet nothings into his ear while the youngest would just sob. The youngest would sob, with hope that maybe his Hongbin would stay and not leave him, not wanting to cause his lover anymore pain than he's already caused

But that was a long shot and Hyuk knew it, with each sob that wreaked havoc on his small and fragile body. Once there were no more tears left to cry, Hyuk would grip onto his lover; his best friend, his soul mate and kiss him senseless wanting to remember every single inch of Hongbin's mouth

The maknae would often steal the older's camera and take endless shots of meaningless photos of his lover; his life, his existence just so he could memorise every single detail of that beautiful face he loves more than his own life

When they're making love is the time that the maknae treasures the most though. Sanghyuk can tell that Hongbin loves him. With each Hongbin will mutter something he adores about Sanghyuk, and there  - surprisingly - seems to be an endless list

Sanghyuk's hands will roam all over his lover; his human, his reason to breath so he can be sure to not forgot any part of Hongbin.

Hongbin's going away, Hyuk can't stop that. Not with any tantrum he throws, not with the amount of tears he cries, not with the amount of love he shows

"Binnie?"

Sanghyuk begins to kiss Hongbin's exposed chest - the pair didn't bother to replace their clothing from last nights displays of affection

"Hmm?"

"Saranghae"

Sanghyuk kisses his chest once more, before moving up to his neck - his lips ghosting over the pale skin of his boyfriend

"You're my everything" with those words Hongbin feels his heart swell, almost as big as the first time Hyuk said that he loved him

"And you're my everything" Hongbin doesn't think his reply as anything special but with the way his boyfriend's eyes light up, he knows that it means the world to the maknae

Hongbin moans softly as his lover bites softly on the light skin on his neck. He begins to squirm under Sanghyuk's satisfied smirk.

The younger hoists himself up and onto Hongbin's beautifully toned body without saying a word. A word isn't needed. An action, just one action will be enough for Sanghyuk to come to terms with Hongbin's prolonged absence

Sanghyuk places his chin on the backs of his hands and rests his palms onto Hongbin's absolutely glorious chest

Just one action 

Hongbin - ever so slowly - brings his hand up to Sanghyuk's beautifully sculptured, boyish featured face and begins to caress his cheek

There it is

"When I leave..." Hongbin starts, not knowing how to say what he's wanted to since he found out he'd be leaving

"It's going to be hard, for the both of us" Hongbin simply just doesn't know how to say it

"But we'll get through, because it doesn't matter how far apart we are; we'll always be right here" Hongbin brings his other hand and places it on his heart

"You have my heart, and I have yours Hyukkie"

------------------------------------------

Sanghyuk looked down at his wrist and sighed. The love heart that Hongbin had drawn with his artistic hand was still there

Sanghyuk felt the tears pick his eyes, but he refused to cry. He told Hongbin - no he promised - that he wouldn't cry until he had been gone for two months...at the least

Hongbin hated the thought of his Sanghyuk in pain, and hated himself even more for being the reason of his pain.

Sanghyuk started to eat less and his friends began to pester him about it constantly, wondering what was wrong with their young friend. He simply replied telling them he felt ill, they in turn told him to go to a doctor and he shrugged before mentally replying that there was no cure for heartache

One of his friends Jaehwan, began to slightly telling him to up whatever it was and be a man; even if his young features and weak arms didn't support his act. Hyuk would chuckle along, not really caring of Jaehwan's words - that was his nature and everyone was used to it by now. One day though, Jaehwan crossed a line. A line he had no idea even existed

"Sanghyukkie!" He laughed, "What's wrong? Huh? You've been acting like this ever since Mr Lee left! You missing your favourite teacher kid?"

The others chuckled along, another friend - Wonshik - asking himself out loud why he had never thought of that.

"Shut up! You don't know anything Jaehwan!" Sanghyuk screeches pushing himself out of his seat, making it go flying across the cafeteria and scrape horrendously loud against the marble floor

Everyone's looking at him, and Sanghyuk knows it. He starts to run, not bothering to grab his stuff, he just runs.

Sanghyuk can't keep it up anymore, but knows he can't cry. He promised Hongbin, and he wasn't about to push that promise away because his friend said something stupid. No, Han Sanghyuk was better than that.

The maknae had almost made it out of the school grounds when he felt something grab his upper arm. He spun around, ready to punch the stranger square in the jaw.

Something Hongbin had taught him.

Hongbin knew that Sanghyuk was young, and would start going on late night adventures with his friends - Wonshik, who could handle his drink about as well as the next guy, Jaehwan was funny when sober, but turned into a raging lunatic when drunk, Hakyeon was overbearing (to say the least) when sober, but hand him a beer and your his until he's sober again - which meant a 50% more chance that his Sanghyuk was going to start getting himself into situations that every innocent, gay, 19 year old should never get into. The types of situations that leave a young boy scarred and untrusting

"You hit me and you'll regret it" a voice growls, a voice Sanghyuk recognises to be Mr Jung - his English teacher.

"Come with me"

Jung Taekwoon was a frightening man, his intense glare and broad figure scared the maknae half to death...but for some reason Hyuk felt the need to follow him.

The importance enlacing Mr Jung's words could not be overstated, and Sanghyuk knew that so he followed his English - and least favourite - teacher

Jung Taekwoon pulled the confused maknae back through the school and into an unused room, locking it behind the small boy and pushing the youngster towards one of the many desks

"What the hell-!"

"Keep your together Sanghyuk" Mr Jung growled, making the young Sanghyuk a mental reminder to go and change his boxers after this frightful conversation was finished

"Hongbin has sacrificed too ok? I understand you're feeling horrible about yourself because your one true love has left and you're a lonely, hormonal teenager; but Hongbin's an adult who feels more love for you than you'll ever be able to imagine. So pull yourself out of the dumps and try just a little  bit harder to control your snappy attitude"

This was the first time in all of Sanghyuk's high school life that he's heard Mr Jung Taekwoon speak with such confiction...and for a prolonged amount of time. Put the two together and you have one very  intimidated teenager

Sanghyuk then guessed the reason that Mr Jung taught English, his way with words captivated you in the cruelest and darkest ways possible. Sanghyuk swore that apart from Hongbin, Mr Jung was the only one who could make Shakespeare worth listening too

Something clicked inside of Sanghyuk and he became panicked. "W-What do you mean Mr Jung? Who's H-Hongbin?" The small and porcelain like boy mumbled out

"It's ok Sanghyuk, I know. I'm Hongbin's best friend. Who do you think he went to when he kissed his favourite art student for the first time? Or when he supposedly made love to 'the most beautiful human boy to ever walk this Earth'. I'm Lee Hongbin's wingman, Jung Taekwoon" Mr Jung stretched out his arms as if to open a show of some sorts

"Why did he leave?" Sanghyuk questions - aloud - for the first time since Hongbin's cruel departure. "Because"

If there was anything in this world that Han Sanghyuk hates more than anything, is when people give him one worded answers to questions that deserve more than a few bloody letters

"That's not a clear answer, I'd think as an English teacher you'd give me a proper sentence"

Sanghyuk wants to scream, he wants to thrash around and throw a chair at the stupid man but he doesn't. He instead, pretends Hongbin is standing behind him and is massaging his tense shoulders like he always used to when Sanghyuk came back from school, stressed and agitated

"Respect. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Can you use it in a sentence? Han Sanghyuk has no respect for his teachers"

It was now that Sanghyuk was realising his English teacher had many different sides, and not just his blank 'Done-With-Everything' look.  His teacher had...sass

"I do have respect for my teachers Mr Jung" Sanghyuk's voice is calm, not wanting to snap again. That's what got him into this mess in the first place

"Obviously, you're stuffing around with your Art teacher"

Sanghyuk hates those words. Stuffing around. It wasn't stuffing around! They weren't just having . Sanghyuk and Hongbin loved each other, more than anyone had ever loved something in their lives

"I thought he was your friend, now you're dissing his actions?" Sanghyuk dares to ask such a contradicting question. If Mr Jung was Bean's friend, why would he diss him behind his back? Some friend, Sanghyuk thought

"Just because he's my friend, doesn't mean I have to agree with everything he does. Bin and I have a long and complicated history Sanghyuk, I know him better than you think you do"

Sanghyuk doesn't say anything for a while, and neither does Jung Taekwoon. A silence filled the air. A silence filled with so much tension it made the maknae feel nauseated

The young boy pondered for a moment. What type of history? Why had his English teacher's voice almost cracked while speaking of it? Sanghyuk's heart began to race as he thought of all the possibilities. Could Hongbin and Mr Jung have been ex-lovers? That would explain the complicated part, and also 'Bin'? Mr Jung Taekwoon - a man with one seemingly unmoved expression - didn't seem like the type to give just anyone a nickname

The bell rang but neither male made a move to go to class. Teaching or otherwise, Mr Jung had promised his friend that he would look after Sanghyuk and although he felt uncomfortable - for many more reasons than he'd care to admit - he was going to keep his promise

"I'm going to look out for you Sanghyuk, and I don't want to see you lash out at Jaehwan again"

Sanghyuk didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to hear it from anyone, much less the man his boyfriend had once loved. The young boy stood up and walked towards the door, hesitating for a moment before speaking

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return.That's something that Bean once said to me, because I had thought no-one would ever love me. Bean has showed me more care and respect than anyone in my life, so please keep that in mind when someone as absentminded as Lee Jaehwan tips me over the edge"

Young Sanghyuk left before he could see the lone tear that slid its way down Jung Taekwoon's cheek

------------------------------------------

Today was the day.

The day that Han Sanghyuk could cry, and cry all he wanted without anyone telling him off for being a weakling

It had been exactly two months and four hours since Hongbin left - not that anyone was counting - and that meant that two months and four hours worth of tears were supposed to come cascading down his puffy chipmunk like cheeks

The maknae didn't go to school that day, wanting to just be able to sit and cry without anyone judging him - like he knew the students and teachers were going to - so there he was tucked into his fluffy purple blanket with his fluffy purple socks on and a big box of tissues sat next to him...a purple box

He liked purple ok? Hongbin had told him that he loved the colour purple on the maknae

The hours droned on and on, the tears kept coming and coming. Sobs erupted through the maknae's little cosy apartment like a hurricane. Tissue boxes were replaced and the meaning of life was questioned hourly.

Sanghyuk finally started to feel decent again when the sound of footsteps was heard through his apartment. Poor emotional Sanghyuk was confused. Who was in his house? Was he going to get murdered? He couldn't be murdered, Hongbin wasn't back yet. With that thought, another creeped into his mind...

Was his hyung back early? Was he trying to surprise him?

"Hongbin!" Sanghyuk screamed trying to get out of his purple fluffy blanket as fast as he could. He swung his bedroom door opened, ready to scream out again when he saw that all too familiar stone cold glare of Mr Jung Taekwoon

"What-What are you doing here?" Sanghyuk gasps in shock. "So reckless Sanghyuk, calling out his name? What if it was one of your family members?" Mr Jung rolls his eyes and walks over to the small, slightly decorated kitchen

"I don't have family members" Sanghyuk felt uneasy telling someone he disliked so much, such an important fact about himself. The older male stopped what he was doing for only a moment before resuming his actions of unpacking the grocery bags that Sanghyuk had only just noticed

"What are you doing here Mr Jung? This is my apartment" the young boy repeated his words from before, only now he used a little more force. Taekwoon though, was a master of being stern and could see through poor Hyuk's facade

Jung Taekwoon didn't say anything, instead he walked over to one of the cupboards and opened it; sighing as he saw the lack of edible food that Sanghyuk had kept

"Bin was right" he sighs again and Sanghyuk is simply itching to say two things:

1) Why do you keep calling my boyfriend Bin?

And 

2) What was my boyfriend right about?

It was as if his English teacher could read his mind though and turned towards the younger, "He told me you wouldn't bother going grocery shopping, and turns out that over attached son-of-a- was right"

"Stop!" Sanghyuk shouts, wincing at how loud his own voice is. He hated yelling - and violence in general. "Just-Just stop speaking about him like that! It drives me insane" the maknae expects to be screeched at or something, knowing that Mr Jung Taekwoon had quite the temper

"I'm your teacher Han Sanghyuk, you can't speak to me like that-"

"You're in my apartment, and I don't care you're whether or not you're my English teacher or Jesus but you can't control me now. This is my home, so unless you want me to call the police on you trespassing, you respect me Mr Jung"

Jung Taekwoon stood there, absolutely shocked at the young boy's sudden forwardness; he knew firsthand that this was Hongbin's doing and a small - very small - smile crept it's way into the teacher's lips

The older began to clap ever so slowly and he seemed to be mocking the young boy, whose rage was about as high as the Eiffel Tower ...times four, and slowly rising

"Bin has done a lot for you" Jung Taekwoon began, "You've changed quite a bit from your first year. How long have you been going out now? Two years-"

"Three and a half"

"Three and a half years. Wow. An awfully long relationship for two people of such opposite ends of the social status scale, not to mention the fact that he's your teacher Sanghyuk. My, my. Such a risky relationship" Mr Jung taunts and tuts at the maknae, knowing - and wanting - his reaction. Oh how amusing it will be for the cruel Taekwoon

Before Sanghyuk can speak, Taekwoon is asking more and more questions.

"How long have you been intimate for? Hmm? Hopefully you were legal Hyukkie-"

"Don't call me that" Sanghyuk nearly growls at the sickening man in front of him.

"Pardon?"

"I said don't call me that, only Hongbin can call me that" Sanghyuk looks down at the ground, shifting from his left foot to his right foot and back again

"What about your family? Don't they call you that?" Taekwoon prods deeper into the youngsters personal information, not caring in the slightest how uncomfortable the maknae seems

"I've told you before, I don't have a family" Sanghyuk's voice is small, scared

"If you don't have a family, how can you be at such a prestigious school? Plus afford to live in your own apartment?" Taekwoon is really pushing it now, and he knows it too

"I'm a smart student" is all the youngster replies with. He doesn't want to talk about this, he just doesn't. The only people who know are the people that have to, and Mr Jung is not one of those people

"I've seen your grades Sanghyuk, your talent in Art is exceedingly brilliant; but then again that could have something to do with the fact you're ing your Art teacher. Your Maths is decent, decent for someone your age; can you tell me the answer if you use the simple interest formula to calculate the interest on $5000 at a rate of 5.9% for 5 years.? Your English skill...well I think you already know the answer to that, did I give you back your results for your most recent exam? A 'C-' was your result Han Sanghyuk-"

"I was going through a hard time-"

"Science!" Mr Jung just keeps going, pointing out all of miserable Sanghyuk's flaws in his school work. "Oh Science doesn't seem to be little Sanghyuk's forte now does it? You'd think you'd ace chemistry, you know considering you're in love" Mr Jung stops there. The cruel man is not about to go indulge in the young boy's over excelling subjects

"M-Mr Jung, p-please s-s-stop" Sanghyuk doesn't want to cry because of this man, he wants to cry because he misses his Bean.

"Hongbin's paying for your apartment right? He's too kind, he should've let you stay in the orphanage"

Sanghyuk's heart begins to beat a hundred times faster, his throat contracts and it's almost impossible for the young and frightened maknae to breath

"How-How do you know about that?"

"Oh there's a lot of things I know about you Sanghyuk, things I'm sure even Bin doesn't know"

------------------------------------------

It had been six months since Hongbin's dreaded departure and the older was having as hard a time as his young lover

"Aye Hongbin mate! You up for drinks tonight?"

The question was asked every Friday, and the answer was the always the same

"No, but thank you"

His friends that he had made while over in Australia liked a bit of alcohol, and if it had been under any other circumstance Hongbin would've accepted and enjoyed his time away

But he couldn't, knowing that his Hyukkie was back in Korea and dying without him. It sounded cocky, but Hongbin knew it was true because he himself was feeling like that

"Come on mate, you should loosen up! You're honestly taking this job too seriously" one of Hongbin's friends Marcus, pat his back and gripped his shoulder a little in a playful manner

"You Australians are very different from us Koreans" Hongbin chuckled, slightly amused at how laid back these Australians were - his friends in particular

"How so?" Lauren - or Lozza - chipped in, wanting to hear why Aussies were so different. Lozza reckoned that everyone was the same, no matter religion or race

"You're always so...chipper about things, and you don't let stuff get to you" Hongbin states smiling slightly as Lauren popped a squat down next to him.

Lauren was a nice girl, she taught Mathematics C. A very difficult subject, even for someone of Hongbin's intelligence. Lauren didn't seem like the type to teach such a brain demanding subject. She had piercings (not just her ears) and as many tattoos as Chopper Reid. She was young, or younger than Hongbin who was 26 while she was 24.

Hongbin had been lucky enough to be transferred to a school where there were many young teachers. Marcus - or Drunkie Boy as he's more formally known - was 27 and taught Physical Education, Lauren - as said before, who preferred to be called Lozza - taught Mathematics C, Thomas - he liked Tom or Tommo - was 26 and he was a teacher of the Dramatic Arts, which definitely suited him and last was Simon - you had to call him Simon - he was a little older than the rest at 30, but still the youngest by a good 20 years, he taught English.

When Hongbin had met Simon, his thought was "Oh just like Taekwoon hyung!" Simon was quiet, shy and taught English. The only difference, in Hongbin's mind, was that Simon wasn't Korean!

"Is there something wrong Hongbin? Because for someone whose supposed to be the best Art teacher in Korea, you look pretty sad"

It took Hongbin a bit - longer than he cares he admit - to figure out what Simon meant. For someone who adores Art and photos as much this boy did, for someone who adores colours and shapes as much as this boy...he was sad, depressed even

It was simple...he missed his Hyukkie. As anyone would miss their lover while they were away, as Hongbin often missed Sanghyuk while the hours of a school say separated them

"I just miss my home and family" Hongbin only dare to utter those two things, wincing at the thought of his Hyuk being judged and cruelly thought of by his Australian friends

"And I bet you have a girlfriend too! Good looking lad like you, you were probably gonna propose right? Then you take into this -hole. I feel sorry for ya mate" Thomas huffed dramatically, throwing his arms about and pulling obscure faces.

Yes, Dramatic Arts definitely suited the man

Hongbin winced at the term 'girlfriend'. Oh God he wished he could just crawl up in a hole and die! He didn't want to have to explain that he - such a beautiful man  - was certainly missing and in love with another man. Did Australians care if he was gay? He didn't think his friends would, maybe Simon - just like Taekwoon hyung - would be sceptical but he would learn to accept the fact

"I d-don't have a girlfriend" Hongbin mutters grabbing everyone's attention. They were all shocked, rocked around even. How could someone like Lee Hongbin not  have a girlfriend!? It just didn't make sense to the Aussie gang

"What-"

"I have a boyfriend"

Silence filled the air, for Hongbin it was awkward but for the others it was a silence filled with knowing

"Pay up Drunkie Boy!" Lauren shouted with all her might, pointing a finger at her friend and smirking like a 10 year old boy sneaking a look at his older brother's favourite magazine

"Oh " Marcus cursed pulling his wallet out of his pocket and handing over the blue note, a look of slight regret in his eyes

Hongbin had forgotten about the Australians and their love of a wager. Of course his friends had made bets about him. He had no idea his uality would be questioned but these Australians pull anything out of their hats

"You knew?" Hongbin questioned Lauren. She smirked and placed a hand on Hongbin's shoulder, "Oh I knew alright. Soon as we spoke for the first time, I knew it"

Hongbin felt relieved. He wouldn't have to tell his friends, as they already knew and they seemed quite accepting of him and his preferences - which he hates to admit he was frightened they wouldn't be quite as accepting

"Tell us about him" Tom demands, his dramatic side coming into play once again. The others seemed to agree and started to grill Hongbin on every little thing about his boyfriend

"He's beautiful" Hongbin starts, "Absolutely beautiful. I don't even know how someone could be that amazingly perfect"

See the thing was, when Hongbin got started talking about his boyfriend it was almost impossible for him to stop; and that can be very troublesome considering the situation they're in

Teacher and student in love. It's something so bad, so wrong; Hongbin had heard the stories from his professors at University, his friends in his dorm but they seemed to be just stories. Hongbin never, ever thought he would actually do it. When he saw Sanghyuk's face though, something clicked and he knew he had to have this boy. Not in the ual desire, but the romantic one. He wants people to see him holding Hyuk's hand, kissing his cheek but no-one can know; or else both Hyuk and Hongbin will never be the same. Hongbin will go to jail, and his Hyuk will be hounded and attacked even by the world

"Aw! Tell us more!" Lauren shouts, excitement lacing her voice. Hongbin wasn't used to this side of Lauren, the girly giggly side that is

There wasn't much more he could say really, not without giving away the secret and Hongbin was desperate to keep it a secret

"We've been going out for three and a half years"

"Wow! So long man! You may as well get married!" Marcus laughs punching Hongbin's shoulder playfully. Another thing Hongbin recognises, Australians don't mind lots of touching (violent or otherwise)

"What's his name? How'd you meet him?" Tom chimes in. The question Hongbin had been trying to avoid, was obviously going to come up

"His name is Sanghyuk, but he likes to be called Hyuk" Hongbin explained, knowing first hand how Sanghyuk can blow up when you say the wrong name. Shamefully, Hongbin remembers purposely calling him Sanghyuk just so he could see him blow up and get angry - it was a side of Hyuk no-one (not even him) saw often - and a side that Hongbin liked (or more so Hongbin Jr.)

"And how'd you meet him?" Hongbin is only now cursing Thomas for his talent in persisting. He doesn't want to, he can't. He just...can't

"Well, uh, we-"

"Come on spit it out!"

Hongbin looked around his circle of friends and sighed. They all looked so hooked on his every word, even Simon was looking intrigued.

"He's...."

"Come on mate!"

"He's in my Grade 12 Art Class!"

-----------------------------------------

Sanghyuk's heart was pounding. His hands were shaking and sweat was covering his forehead. He gripped his bag tighter and looked around the airport frantically.

Was he really going to do this?

Of course he was. What a stupid question

He couldn't stand not seeing his boyfriend. He simply didn't think he was going to survive another week, let alone two and a half years

He heard his flight being called and he shakily stood up, he prayed to all the God's that his legs wouldn't come out from underneath him

He began to walk when he heard his name being called. He turned and almost sighed in relief when he saw his three best friends and Mr Jung sprinting with all their might towards him

Wait what? Mr Jung? Why the hell was he-

"HAN SANGHYUK DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ANOTHER STEP YOU FREAKING PABO"

Well hello to you too Hakyeon

"What are you doing here?" Sanghyuk questions as his three friends attacked him in hugs while Mr Jung stood off to the side, his eyes hovering over the four - and lingering slightly on one for just a moment more than the others

"We're going with you!" Wonshik exclaims, a smile on his face. Why in the world did they all look so happy?

"No! You can't-"

"The hell we can't! You're our friend and were going with you!" Hakyeon's voice was a good 4 times louder than everyone else's so he - as usual - was causing people to look at the group

"No, you don't understand-"

"We do, we know Hyuk" Ken's voice went from his usual crazy self to sudden seriousness

They knew? How could they know?

Sanghyuk felt like bursting out into tears. They knew. Hongbin would kill him, he'd shout and scream and tell Sanghyuk that he never wanted to see him again because how could he trust him to be faithful when he couldn't even keep their secret

Sanghyuk opened his mouth to ask how, when suddenly Mr Jung spoke up; his voice as soft and frightening as ever

"I told them"

Everything seemed to freeze for a moment. He - Hongbin's best friend - told them? Why would he do such a thing!?

"You !" Sanghyuk screeched as he rushed forward to hit his now EX-English teacher. The boys had graduated only the night before, so technically Hongbin and his own relationship wasn't illegal anymore

The others began to shout and hold Hyuk back while Ken ran straight to Mr Jung, asking if he was ok and turning his face from side to side as if to check

Hyuk gasped as he saw Mr Jung lean into Ken's touch and close his eyes, mumbling that his was just fine.

"That's even worse! You-You e!" Hyuk screeches, trying to free his arms. Although he was the youngest, and supposedly the weakest he got free; though he made no move towards the pair

"You really are not in the position to say that kind of thing Han Sanghyuk" Mr Jung sighs angrily, narrowing his eyes at the boy

Hyuk realised he was being a hypocrite and shut his mouth.

"Hyuk, look I wanted to tell you-"

"But you couldn't" Hyuk finished his best friend's sentence and lowered his head. "I understand"

"That's why we want to help" Ken started again. "It's not fair that you should have to wait for your man, while we all get ours"

Only then did Hyuk notice Hakyeon and Wonshik holding hands, and that Mr Jung had grabbed hold of Ken's.

One lone tear made it's way down Hyuk's cheek as he realised just how much he missed his boyfriend.

The last call for Hyuk's flight was announced and all five males made their way to the gates. It was finally going to happen, Hyuk was going to see his boyfriend for the first time in 7 months

Only 10 hours to go

------------------------------------------

It was all a blur once they landed. So many signs in English that only made a little bit of sense. Of course Mr Jung - or Taekwoon has he made them all call him (well apart from Ken, he could call him all sorts of pet names) - knew what they said being an English teacher and helped direct them through Brisbane International Airport

The four teens were overwhelmed - to say the least - but a hint of excitement was pulsing through their veins at the fact that this was another adventure they could all experience together; with the addition of the cold-hearted Jung Taekwoon. Maybe Ken will fix that, Sanghyuk thought

Taekwoon called them a cab and told the driver to take them to a place called Nundah Square

Sanghyuk was confused, was he not coming with them? Happiness was a clear emotion he was feeling, but of course the nerves began to swarm all over. How would they know what to do? Without him that is? None of them spoke enough English to order McDonald's let alone get them around this new place

Ken was the last in the line of teens, and therefore was at the window. The driver was about to take off when he called for him to stop - one of the few words each boy knew - and wound down the window

Taekwoon rushed forward and connected both Jaehwan and his lips in a kiss. It was passionate...to say the least, and Hyuk had to look away so he didn't cry

He heard Ken whisper that he loved Taekwoon more than life itself and suddenly the cab was off, Ken's head still basically outside the window as he shouted to Taekwoon - or babykins - once more

Hyuk turned around and suddenly felt sorry for the teacher, he was slumped over as he stood and watched the cab drive off. He must really love Ken

The drive didn't last too long, around 15-20 minutes and the cab driver asked for the money. Hyuk realised that he -stupidly - didn't have any English money on him.

Mr Jung must have thought ahead though and Ken handed the man a large yellow looking note, with the number 50 on it, saying thank you in quite decent English

The can drove off the four teens stood there, like lost puppies as they spun around a few times and looked at their surroundings. They were at a bus stop, a Post Office behind them and a large shopping centre looking thing with the words 'Nundah Square' written on it.

At least they were in the right place. But where the hell did they have to go now? Sanghyuk really should've thought this through more

Ken pulled out his phone and dialled a number, the caller answering right away.

"What school are we looking for?" He heard Ken ask - in Korean - as he spun around a few more times.

"Ok, yeah I can see it" Ken stopped spinning and pointed to a building to the right of where the group were, on the other side of the road

"Up the road?"

Ken began to walk and everyone followed him, Wonshik thinking quietly to himself if it was really a good idea to follow someone as crazy and out of this world as Ken

"Ok, I love you" Ken then put his phone away and started to walk up the path.

"Why isn't he here with us?" Hakyeon asked, speaking up for the first time since the airport.

"He's gone to book us rooms at a hotel; considering we have nowhere else to stay and we're not just going to be here overnight"

They walked for 30 seconds before a school came into view. Sanghyuk stopped walking.

Oh my God

Hongbin was in there somewhere. His Hongbin, his Bean was in there.

"You excited maknae?"

Sanghyuk nodded at Wonshik and suddenly a bolt of adrenaline shot through him and he began to run, smiling like an idiot and almost laughing at how happy he was

"Wait up!" They others called after the boy, trying to - and succeeding - catch up to him

They turned a corner and continued to fun until they were standing right in front of the school.

Holy

"Go Hyuk!" Hakyeon laughed, pushing the youngest forward and up the set of about five stairs

Oh

He slowly opened the door and turned to look at the others behind him.

Holy mother of

He walked forward, sighing happily as the cool air-conditioning hit his skin. He sure as hell wasn't used to this kind of Australian heat

The lady siting at the computer looked up and smiled, "Hello there! How may I help you?" She asked

Hyuk though, had absolutely no idea what in the world she was saying. The only word that sounded familiar was 'hello'.

"Uh, hello. I-" he stopped. He didn't know what to say. He cursed himself for not paying attention in his English lessons. Mr Jung was right that day when he had said how bad his marks were in that particular subject. He bit his lip and turned around, beckoning his friends forward.

They all rushed through the door and the lady seemed taken back. Ken spoke and it was then that the boys thanked the stars that Ken and Taekwoon were together

"Hello, I'm sorry about my friend. He doesn't speak very good English. We're looking for a man named Mr Lee-Ah sorry, Hongbin?"

The lady then nodded and began to smile, "Of course, may I ask who you are? Just for security reasons" She explained as she got out a book with lots of stickers saying the same word

VISITOR

"Yes of course, we're friends of his from Korea. Hence the reason for our terrible English, our first time out of the country you see"

God Ken's English was great, was all the three boys could think of. He seemed so confident, it made the others feel very self aware of how they spoke

"Would you like me to call him up here? He's in a free period right now"

"No!" Sanghyuk shouted making the lady jump slightly. Ken glared at Hyuk before turning back to the lady

"Uh, no that wouldn't be necessary. See, Hyuk here is trying to surprise him" Ken explains delicately

"Oh! Oh, I get it now" the receptionist smiles, giving the whole group a knowing smile that made Hyuk feel a little bit better

"Well if you put these on, I'll show you the way" she hands each boy the sticker with the words

VISITOR

She told the boys to go through a door and she'd meet them on the other side. As they opened the door they found themselves in a small room, with a round table and two chairs; as well as a mannequin wearing what seemed to be the school uniform. The teens wondered where the male uniform was, and were thankful that they weren't girls because they'd hate to have to wear that

Uuuuuugly, thought the maknae

They opened the door on the other side of the room and saw the lady waiting for them, a large smile on her face as another receptionist helped a student

"So if you'll follow me" she lead the group of teens through a glass door and she continued to walk forward. The boys glanced over the edge of the railing and down at what seemed to be a courtyard. The school looked very nice, with light colours and little trees here and there.

"Considering today is Day Four, and no-one uses the art rooms during period 3 on Day Fours he'll be there with some other teachers" the lovely lady seemed to be almost warning the boys

Ken translated quickly and quietly as they walked past what seemed to be the Library; Hyuk couldn't stop thinking about the amount of time Hongbin would've spent there. Hongbin would always encourage the younger to go to the Library, telling him it would broaden his thinking. It was times like those he didn't like the fact he was dating a teacher

She continued to walk, bending around two corners where there was an elevator!

"We need one of those at our school" Hakyeon laughed making the rest chuckle softly...bar Sanghyuk. He was too nervous. He couldn't even breath, let alone laugh. The lady looked behind her and Ken told her what Hakyeon had said

She smiled and told the boys how this school was here for ever student, handicapped or otherwise. Plus some of the teachers used it, the ones who were older and/or bigger. The teens went down some stairs and walked about two metres before she stopped and pointed to a set of doors

"Through there and the first door you see, go in" the lady spoke told Ken, who nodded and thanked her. She walked off quietly and suddenly it was only those four boys left

A girl came out of the bathroom and looked cautiously at the boys. She took a few steps in the direction opposite the group. Ken decided though, that he would like to be friendly so he - being the loud-mouthed, non-brain using boy he is - called out

"Hello!"

Her eyes widen and she waved slowly before suddenly sprinting away and up the stairs from where the boys had just come from

"Ken you !" Hakyeon scolded the boy, neck-chopping him and hissing quietly.

"This is a girls only school! Did you not recognise that? You can't go saying hello to random students! Forget Taekwoon being told off for ia, you may as well join him! This country is different from our own you-you-"

"Ok I got it, chill out" Ken rolls his eyes and suddenly the boys felt more at home even though they were so many miles away from the comfort of everything they knew and loved. Ken was back to normal

All the boys then turned to Sanghyuk and he knew, he knew it was time to go and say hello. His nerves were building oh so high, but his excitement was just as high

"Go and get him" Wonshik smiled, patting his young friend on the shoulder and pulling him in for a hug

"We're here for you Hyukkie, we love you" Hakyeon hugged him tight, not really wanting to let go. Wonshik wasn't jealous though, he knew that Sanghyuk was Hakyeon's baby and that the maknae would hold a special place in his lover's heart

He then turned to Ken and smiled, Ken wrapped his arms around his best friend and sighed happily. "Take as long as you want ok? You've been waiting for this for a while"

------------------------------------------

"Hongbin! Hongbin! Mate calm down!" Lauren laughed as the older male began to freak out

"Don't worry, we ain't gonna tell anyone" Marcus laughed slightly, shaking his head and patting Hongbin's shoulder

"Besides, there's really no-one we can tell. Different country, different rules, different police" Tom interjects with a shrug

"Hello!"

Hongbin turned his head. He swear he knew that voice. It sounded like, like Jaehwan...one of Hyukkie's friends. But it couldn't be, no way.

Your kind is playing tricks on you Bean, Hongbin thought. You've been away for so long, you're starting to hear things

"You ok?" Simon asked, speaking up for the first time this whole free period. "Yeah, thought...thought I heard something" Hongbin mumbles, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion

"Look we understand what you're going through, there are some pretty great looking people in this world and it's not exactly fair that some of them happen to be students. You took a risk and it turned out alright didn't it?" Marcus always knew how to make Hongbin feel better

"Besides, you said he would've graduated what last night? It's technically not illegal anymore. Now it's up to you whether or not you want everyone to know"

Lauren smiled as she finished off her little pep talk and patted her friend on the shoulder. "We're your friends mate, and you can count on us"

Hongbin went to say something when he was interrupted

"B-Bean?"

------------------------------------------

Sanghyuk walked forward, he had to keep telling himself one foot in front of the other. He walked through the doors and his heart started to pound.

Holy ing

He walked forward once more until the first door was there. He wanted to turn around and ask the others to come with him, but he couldn't. He knew he had to do this for himself

He took four steps into the room and saw a female pat his boyfriend's shoulder before saying something

"B-Bean?"

------------------------------------------

Hongbin stood up and his eyes widened, "Ohmygod Hyukkie!" He gasped out, sprinting off the spot and rushing towards his boyfriend

He wrapped his arms around Hyuk and held him close. He kept whispering 'ohmygod' over and over and all Hyuk could do was hold onto his boyfriend as the tears began to flow

"I missed you so much" Hyuk spoke out first - in Korean and confusing the hell out of Hongbin's Australian friends.

"My God I missed you too" Hongbin pulled back and took Hyuk's face in his hands. He just looked him over and smiled, tears running down his own face

"Don't cry" Hongbin chuckled dryly, feeling like a hypocrite as his tears became more frequent. Hongbin wiped away his boyfriend's tears as Hyuk closed his eyes. Hyuk was home, oh God was he home.

Hongbin leant forward and placed two soft kisses on his partner's closed eyelids, before kissing his forehead, his cheeks, his nose and then finally his lips

It wasn't a long kiss, and probably counted more of a peck but Hyuk didn't care. Hyuk just wanted Hongbin and he finally had him back

"I love you, so much" Hongbin gasped out again, pulling his young boyfriend in for another hug while Hyuk just chuckled and told him how much he loved him

A cough came from behind them and Hongbin turned to see his friends sitting there awkwardly

"Come and meet my friends" Hongbin whispered in Korean to his boyfriend, grabbing a hold of his hand and walking towards the Aussie gang

"I can't speak English" Hyuk mumbled back, feeling embarrassed that he wouldn't know what thy others were saying

"I'll translate, but I-"

"Don't you dare so you told me so, I didn't want to learn English ok? Besides you're my Art teacher, not my English" Hongbin couldn't help but smirk at his boyfriend. He'd missed this

"Guys, this is Hyuk...my boyfriend"
