Jun Hong sighed heavily as he pulled on his shirt. He and Jong Up had agreed to tell Him Chan that day while Yong Guk was at work. They wanted him to have time to sort out his thoughts before he exploded at his mate. Taking one last look in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom to meet Jong Up in the living room.

“Hey,” the brunette called out softly.

The maknae waved his hand, not really wanting to talk. Looking around the room he noticed that it was only the two, “Where is everyone?”

“Him Chan went to help Young Jae put the babies to sleep.” Jong Up explained, “Dae Hyun got called in and everyone else is at work.”

“Should we take him upstairs to talk?” The blonde asked but then changed his mind, “never mind, it takes Him Chan forever to go up and down. I guess we’re telling him in the kitchen.”

“Should we get some drinks together?” the shorter boy asked.

“No, I think tissues would be a bit more appropriate,” Jun Hong sighed. “How long ago did he go in there?”

“Maybe ten or fifteen minutes ago,” the elder boy shrugged.

The maknae nodded, “So he should be out soon. Maybe we’re making a mistake.”

“And if we don’t say anything now,” Jong Up tried to reason, “then it’s going to bother us for a long time. We might end up letting it slip if the stress becomes too much.”

The younger boy nodded, “I guess you’re right.”

“Did you ever talk to Young Jae?” the brunette asked.

Jun Hong shook his head, “no, I didn’t want to bother him and Dae Hyun is always with him so I can’t really say anything about it.”

“Oh,” the elder boy sighed wanting to say more but the opening of the front door scared them.

Dae Hyun laughed as he closed the door, “what’s up with you two? You both been acting strange lately.”

The blonde glared, “we just weren’t expecting you to come home already. Geez, call and give us a warning so we can prepare ourselves to see your ugly mug.”

“HA, very funny,” the dark brown haired boy pouted. Taking a glance around he asked, “Everyone still at work?”

Jong Up nodded, “yea, and Him Chan was helping put the twins to sleep.”

“Ah,” the elder boy said. “I’m going to go check on them before I start lunch.”

“Um, do you think we could have a few minutes to talk to Him Chan privately before you do?” The maknae played with his fingers, “we could even make lunch so you can spend some time with Young Jae and the babies for awhile.”

Dae Hyun looked to them full of suspicion, but nodded, “sure. I’ll go get Him Chan for you guys.”

“Thank you,” the maknae called out softly as their hyung headed towards the shared bedroom.

Him Chan turned around hearing the door open. He smiled when he saw who it was, “hey, how was work?”

“Ok,” he shrugged. “Where’s Young Jae?”

“Trying to hide from me under the covers,” the black haired man glared at the giggling lump. “He has the babies next to him so be careful.”

“Why aren’t they in their cribs?” the younger looked at his watch, “it should be time for their nap.”

“They didn’t want to sleep,” Him Chan defended.

“They’re asleep now,” Young Jae threw off the covers. “They were just scared of Him Chan.”

The chocolate haired boy laughed as he maneuvered around the elder to lift one of the babies off the bed. Gently he place Hyun Ki into his crib before moving to do the same for Hyun Ok. “Well at least they’re asleep now, before they get all cranky.”

The two Carriers nodded their agreement before Dae Hyun spoke again, “Oh, Him Chan, the kids wanted to talk to you about something.”

“Oh,” he looked a little surprised. “Did they say what it was about?”

The chocolate haired boy shook his head, “no, but it sounded pretty important.”

“Oh, okay.” he head for the door, “I guess this means I’m making lunch.”

Dae Hyun nodded before the elder left. He looked to his mate with a soft smile, “how are you doing?”

“Fine,” he returned the smile, patting the space on the bed next to him. Dae Hyun happily accepting the invitation, wrapping his arms around his mate as he laid down. Young Jae rested his head on his shoulder, “what do you think they wanted to talk to him about? Do you think it’s about mating?”

The elder shook his head, “no, I thinks it’s the same thing they asked Jee Hye about the other day.”

“What did they talk about?” the purple haired boy more than curious due to his loss of contact to the outside world.

Dae Hyun shrugged, “I’m not sure but they’ve been acting really suspicious lately. They even asked me a really weird question.”

“Oh?” the younger shifted himself a little.

“Yea,” the elder looked up to the ceiling, “they asked me what I would do if Ji Eun ever cheated.”

“Asked you if Ji Eun cheated...” Young Jae softly chewed his bottom lip in thought, his mate looked to him with slight confusion, “Young Jae, don’t worry about it. I told them it’s all in the past now.”

“No, it’s not that.” The younger shook his head earning an even more confused look from his mate. “Did they ask anything else that seemed off?”

The chocolate haired boy shrugged, “They asked me about when I had to work late at the Facility and if Yong Guk had to.”

“Why would they ask about Yong Guk?” Young Jae furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought. “Well, that unless... they think that-OH!”

“Oh? Oh what?” Dae Hyun asked now completely lost in the entire conversation.

The purple haired boy shook his head, “I’m not too sure either. I just hope it’s not what I’m thinking.”

“And what are you thinking?” the elder boy asked. Again the younger shook his head, “I rather have all the facts first.”

“Young Jae,” the chocolate haired boy said firmly, “what’s going on?”

The younger’s breathing shook as he took a deep breathe, “I don’t know everything they do, but... It seems they figured out something that Ji Eun had done.”

“And what do they think she had done?” Dae Hyun face was stern scaring the the purple haired boy slightly.

The younger hesitated, “that she cheated and that... Right now it doesn’t look good.”

The elder continued to push for information, “And what?”

Young Jae looked away, “right now, it would seem... that she cheated with... Yong Guk.”

The chocolate haired boy stood up from the bed, but his mate grabbed on to his arm. He looked down at the younger. The purple haired boy’s eyes were pleading with him to stay, “Dae Hyun, I told you I don’t know all the facts. It might not even be that. It could be something else. You’re going to have to wait, if it’s what we think it is then I’m sure they’ll tell you.”

Dae Hyun was fighting with himself, he wanted to ask the maknaes for any and all facts that they knew and he wanted to confront Yong Guk, but his mate was right. All he could do was wait until they were sure about everything themselves. That was probably why they were asking Jee Hye for advice. But would Yong Guk really betray him like that? And Him Chan? Him Chan was pregnant before Ji Eun, and if he...

The elder shook his head sitting back down next to his mate. Feeling the younger wrap his arms around him he looked back to see the worry behind his tear-filled eyes. Taking a hand in his he spoke softly, “Him Chan’s going to be a mess. Yong Guk is either going to have to sleep upstairs, in the barn or find his own place; Him Chan’s not going to want to see him at all.”

Young Jae nodded, “we should fix up the room even if it’s just a little.”

Dae Hyun nodded his agreement, “we should probably move the cribs closer to our bed that way we can have room.”

Him Chan smiled at the maknaes as he exited the room, “what are you two up to?”

“Nothing really,” Jong Up answered softly.

The elder nodded his head, “Dae Hyun said you two wanted to talk, whats wrong?”

The maknae his lips, “I think it’d be better if we talked in the kitchen.”

Him Chan followed the maknaes, his confusion rising as he notice Jong Up grab the box of tissues from the end table. In the kitchen they took a seat at the table Him Chan on one side with the maknaes on the other. He was worried seeing them looking down at the polished table in front of them.

“What’s wrong?” He tried to think of a reason for the two to be so serious, “did you two want to mate before going on your little journey ahead?”

Both maknaes shrugged. Well this was getting nowhere. The black haired man sighed, “were you two thinking of mating any time soon?”

Jun Hong shook his head his voice barely above a whisper, “it’s not about us... It’s about...”

“Its more about what happened, at the Facility,” Jong Up finished for the maknae, his voice just as soft if not a little louder. “Something Ji Eun did. Bad.”

“Did she do something to you two?” Him Chan looked between each of the maknaes as they shook their heads. “Then what’s wrong?”

“Him Chan,” the brunette maknae hesitated his lips, “do you remeber when we were talking about how we played soccer at the Facility?”

The brunette nodded, patiently waiting for them to continue. Jun Hong taking a deep breath before he continue where the other left off, “we never had over night games. Yong Guk told us he had to work...”

“He lied Him Chan,” Jong Up’s voice shook as he fought the urge to cry. Taking the maknae’s hand into his in hopes to gather enough energy to say more. “And Ji Eun, why would she hurt you? What other reason would she have?”

The black haired man sat in silence. What more could he do? He looked to the maknaes in confusion and disbelief. He shook his head his voice a higher pitch than normal as he tried to fight back his emotions, “where did you come up with this?”

“Think about it Him Chan what other reason would Ji Eun go psycho and attack you?” the young blonde asked.

The eldest still not wanting to believe what he had just been told. “What facts do you have?”

Jong Up sighed, “Yong Guk told us about Dominates sensing the baby at three months, he knew when Ji Eun was. He knew everything that was going on with her. She was really jealous, but what else could she ever be jealous of?”

Slowly a tear escaped Him Chan’s eye. He tried to keep his breathing even, “if Yong Guk... but why?”

“We don’t know?” the maknaes said softly.

The black haired man sniffed, “does Dae Hyun know?”

The maknaes shook their heads. Jong Up speaking, “we don’t know if we should. For him it’s the past, I don’t want him to think of Ji Eun when he’s with Young Jae."

Him Chan nodded, “but still, he has a right to know.”

“Are you alright?” the maknae asked barely above a whisper, with no hope clinging to his words.

The elder shook his head, “I don’t know. Jun Hong, I think you should go get Dae Hyun. Send him over here, but I want you to stay with Young Jae.”

The tall blond nodded slowly he stood up from his seat. Taking a final look to the black haired man sitting quietly at the table before he walked out of the room. The maknae hesitated slightly before he was to knock on the bedroom door.

The door opened, the chocolate haired boy looking at him slightly confused. “What’s wrong?”

It was then that the blonde realized that he was crying. He shook his head, “Him Chan and Jong Up need you in the kitchen.”

The elder nodded looking in to the room before he left, “I’ll be back in a minute.”

Jun Hong could hear Young Jae’s soft reply. The maknae tried to smile, “I’ll keep him company.”

The chocolate haired boy nodded before he moved out of the maknaes way before heading toward the kitchen where the two waited. The blonde slowly entered the room.

Young Jae looked to him confused and worried, “what’s wrong Jun Hong? Why are you crying?”

He couldn’t answer him, instead he laid in the bed next to him before wrapping his arms around the purple haired boy’s shoulders, crying heavily. The elder instinctively wrapped his arms around the fragile boy gently rocking him, trying to comfort him. Neither speaking as the maknae continued to cry his heart out hoping to rid his heart of any and all pains. Young Jae whispering simple words of encouragement, trying to understand the reason behind the tears, fearing the worst and hoping for the best.

Slowly the maknaes tears subsided to a few sniffles, tears and the occasional hiccups. Young Jae spoke lowly, “did Ji Eun cheat with Yong Guk?”
