"What do you mean the rooms cannot be used?" Jongwoon frowned at the receptionist behind the desk. They had arrived at their lodging at the mountain summit, and Leeteuk had ensured to book each of them their own rooms.

"I'm so sorry! The ceiling gave out 10 minutes ago and both rooms are in tatters. We're really sorry about that!" The receptionist apologised continuously "To compensate, the lodge has prepared the largest suite for you, sirs." She offered, bringing out the silver key to the luxurious suite.

Upon hearing, Jongwoon frowned. One suite?

"Is there only one? We can afford another." Kyuhyun piped up from behind.

"Y-Yes, there is. But you would have to pay extra for another suite." The receptionist nodded, slightly confused at why they wanted two when the suite can obviously fit the both of them.

Meanwhile, Jongwoon was surprised that Kyuhyun had asked for another. But when the receptionist pushed the price list to them, Jongwoon gasped and pushed it back instantly "No! No! It's okay! One suite is fine!" He squeaked. That's some crazy price! One suite was more than enough to cover for both of their previous rooms.

"Are you sure, hyung? I can pay, really." Kyuhyun asked, fishing out his wallet.

"Even if you're filthy rich, I won't let you spend such wasteful money, Kyu. We can share a suite, no problem." The price had Jongwoon speak without thinking, snatching the silver key and pushed Kyuhyun towards the direction of the suite before he could take his card out.

"If you say so, hyung." Kyuhyun shrugged and let Jongwoon drag him to wherever.

The moment they slide the key in and pushed open the doors, Jongwoon couldn't help but gasp. It was huge! There was a spacious living room, decorated with soft-looking rugs and the soft warm glow of the hanging lights made the lodge feel homey.

"Wow the kitchen!" Kyuhyun ditched his shoes and ran to the kitchen straight. Jongwoon chuckled at the other's behaviour as he set their shoes proper before following Kyuhyun to the kitchen.

"Look, hyung! The plates are so pretty! The wine glasses too!" Kyuhyun held up one wine glass and flicked his finger on it, a crisp 'twang' reverberated.

"Kyuhyun, I'm pretty sure you're not at the age to drink yet..." Jongwoon deadpanned and rounded the island.

"As long as I'm not caught!" Kyuhyun winked and Jongwoon laughed at his cheekiness.

"Hyung, what do you wanna eat? I'll cook!" Kyuhyun pulled the refrigerator open and delightfully found usable ingredients inside.

"Anything would do, Kyu." Jongwoon couldn't help but smile at Kyuhyun's excitement in the kitchen. He joined Kyuhyun at the fridge and peered over his shoulder on his tippy toes.

"Ah! They have Coke Zero! Pass me one!" Jongwoon delightfully spotted the soda and instantly raised an arm to try and grab it over Kyuhyun's shoulders. "Kyuhyun, move it!" But the younger made no move to let Jongwoon take the soda.

"Take it, hyung. Am I blocking you?" Kyuhyun teased with a smug grin, making use of his height to block the older.

"Brat!" Jongwoon huffed and took a step back, no longer clinging onto Kyuhyun like a koala.

"Go and sit down, hyung. Dinner will be ready in a sec." Kyuhyun urged and pushed Jongwoon towards the direction of the island top, where bar stools surround it.

"You bore!" Jongwoon grudgingly stomped over and dumped himself on the stool, supporting his chin on his elbows.

"I know I'm interesting." Kyuhyun chuckled as he started pulling out ingredients from the fridge. Skillfully, the younger checked the spice rack and utensils available at his disposal.

"Hey, Kyuhyun. Is this your sketchbook?" Jongwoon asked when he found the blue sketchpad lying around.

"Yeah, it is-" Kyuhyun answered absentmindedly before perking up "Wait!" But it was too late, Jongwoon had already flipped the sketchpad open, gasping at the lines drawn inside.

"Wow, Kyuhyun! You're amazing!" The sketches of the landscape and geography of the mountains was meticulously sketched with deft pencil marks and swirls. "This looks so good! The waterfall! And-" Jongwoon stopped his parade of compliments when he flipped to one of the last pages. Although it was only briefly sketched, but Jongwoon could see the details behind the sketches and how amazing it would look when its complete. "Who's this, Kyu? Is this one of your friends or something?" Jongwoon made out the outline of a male, not sure of its age, but it looked like a teenager. He was standing on a stage-like platform, holding something as if it was a microphone. But the one that caught his eye were the outlines around the male's eyes.

"Is he wearing something over his eyes?" Jongwoon asked again, gently touching the rough paper

"Y-Yes. He is my idol. I saw him sing on stage before when I was in middle school. He is the best singer ever in the world." Kyuhyun claimed, his eyes soft and gentle as he handled the food in his hands.

"Wow... Must be a masquerade party..." Jongwoon guessed blindly and flipped. This time, it wasn't lines and sketches that came into his view. But scrawling words.

"Want...erase...my insufficient former self...? It seems like...me...nothing to..give...aish! I give up! Kyu! Your handwriting is too bad!" Jongwoon squinted at the words before throwing his hands, giving up in deciphering the words.

"It's not that bad... At least I keep prying eyes like hyung's away." Kyuhyun shrugged, not at all affected by Jongwoon's criticism on his handwriting.

"What are you trying to write anyway?" Jongwoon flattened his upper body on the island top and supported his head on his folded hands. He traced the words with his fingers, trying to make head and toe of Kyuhyun's words.

"It's a secret, hyung." Kyuhyun winked his way as he prepared the last finishing touches of their dinner.

"Ehhhh! Tell me!" Jongwoon whined like a kid, kicking his legs back and forth as they couldn't touch the ground.

"I'll tell you, hyung." Kyuhyun said, making Jongwoon perked up from his seat. "Eh? Really?!" Jongwoon didn't expect Kyuhyun to bend so easily.

"In exchange with one of your secrets." Kyuhyun grinned and brought two huge bowls to the island top, sitting himself opposite Jongwoon.

"Ehh! That's-" Jongwoon was about to protest when Kyuhyun cut him off "pretty fair if you ask me." Jongwoon unconsciously pouted at his words and sulked to himself. Meanwhile, Kyuhyun pushed the sketchbook away and handed Jongwoon one of the bowls.

"Wow!" Jongwoon gasped, his sul
