Yunho’s POV

“Hyung, are you alright?” Siwon placed a hand on my shoulder, shaking me out of my thoughts. I let a small smile curve on my lips as I looked up to my younger friend. From the corner of my eyes, I can feel Dongwook giving me a worried look as he continuously dries himself up with the towel. Another of our practice just ended and just like any other day, we headed straight to the men’s wrong to clean up before we go to wherever we are going next.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just tired.” I answered. I took my phone out of my bag from my locker only to once again feel disappointed to not find even a single message from Jaejoong.

It’s been two days. Two days since we had that little argument and up to now, we haven’t really talk. Not even during the classes we shared considering how close our seats are. I would have talk to Jae the very next day if Jae went by my house like we’ve planned and started talking and acting like nothing happened. But I guess we’re still both angry. I was angry. Angry that Jae would think like I intended to keep things hidden from him when I didn’t have the littlest intention of doing so. I mean, I admit that I had my felt and I really am sorry but why make it sound like I’m a cheating boyfriend and somehow, be compared to Junki. I don’t know. Maybe, I got jealous along the way when Jae mentioned him. At that point, I felt like I haven’t proven myself enough that there was still a room for doubt between us.

“Are you sure?” you don’t really look god to me.” Siwon inquired once again followed by Dongwook’s voice.

“You’re not going to faint on us again, are you?”

Dongwook let out a soft “ouch” when I jokingly punch him in the belly.

“Oh, I hope not. Jae-hyung was practically giving us death glares when he found out you fainted the first time. Like it was our fault that his boyfriend’s such a perfectionist he’d work himself to death.”

I can see Dongwook nudging Siwon’s side when the older between the two noticed the fading smile on my face. Gathering my things up, I stood up walking straight to the door. “Are you guys ready to leave yet?”

“Yes, we are!” They answered at the same time.

Junsu’s POV

“Hyung, I wouldn’t be very happy either if Yoochun would bring up his ex’s name in our conversation, especially if we’re already starting to argue. And knowing how much you love Junki hyung before, tsk!” I continuously lectured Jaejoong-hyung moments after he told me about his little fight with Yunho-hyung.

“Why do you think I’m feeling so bad right now. Don’t you think I know that?” Jaejoong snapped then sighing as he rested his chin on at the back of his hand. “Argh! I’m so stupid!”

“Ah, well… I’ll have to agree with you with that, hyung.”

“Oh, shut up, Junsu.” I quickly did hearing real annoyance in his voice, grinning sheepishly before turning serious.

“Just talk to him, hyung and apologize. I think that’s the best thing you can do.”

“And if he still doesn’t talk to me?” I know it’s probably not right but I’m very amused just by seeing how frustrated Jae-hyung looks right now. Like he’s about to cry or something. I’ve never seen him like this before, not even when he and Junki hyung (just had to say hyung because he was after all older than me) fought before.

“Well, if that doesn’t work… maybe you can give him a few more days. Though I doubt it that Yunho-hyung can still stay angry once you said you’re sorry.”

Finally a smile made its way on Jae-hyung’s lips. “Thanks, Junnie-ah.”

“…but then again if it was me, I’d probably give you a hard time and…”

“Yah! Are you trying to make me feel better or what?”

“Sorry, hyung, just got carried away putting myself in your place.” I grinned sheepishly.

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

During lunch.

“Why don’t you just walk up and talk to her, Changmin. You might just scare her away if you continued just staring at her.” Yoochun said as he noticed our youngest brother glancing and staring at Jieun who is currently eating lunch with her group of friends.

“Mwo? Who’s staring at who?” Changmin quickly looked away turning his attention back to his food.

“Chunnie ah.” I cooed at my boyfriend. “Why don’t you just help our dongsaeng out,huh?”

“Help with what?” Changmin asked. His lips can be bleeding just at how hard he’s biting on it then glancing at Jaejoong-hyung who’s also having a staring competition” with his phone.

“Ah, you really think we wouldn’t notice how much you liked Jieun sshi?” I asked with a teasing voice.

“Junsu, don’t . You wouldn’t want to end up sitting besides very, very, very ripe tomato now, do you?” Yoochun had a smirk on his face as he spoke, looking slyly at Changmin. Changmin who’s face is red like I’ve never seen them before.

Yoochun was back from his short trip to the table that Jieun and her friend’s occupying. Placing a piece of paper on the table that, Yoochun had a triumphant look on his face. I took the paper and found out it actually had Jieun’s number on it. And when I hand it out to Changmin, oh, boy he looks so dazed.

I leaned back on Yoochun’s arm as he once again occupied the space beside me.

“Oh, aside from Jieun’s number, we’re also invited to her birthday party.”

“What?!” Changmin suddenly said out load, managing to snatch Jae-hyung’s attention away from his phone. “We can’t be invited? What kind of gif…”

The three of us looked at each other then back at Changmin. We know and were very much aware of how weird Changmin can get sometimes but man he’s a lot weirder when he’s in-love.

“Minnie ah, the party’s still more than a week. You still have time think of what you’ll give her.” I said, patting the shoulder of my taller dongsaeng who suddenly stood up.

“I need to go.”

We could only watch in his shock at Changmin’s retreating believe at what actually just happened.

Changmin just left his food. UNTOUCHED! It’s a miracle

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

Changmin’s POV

Oh, hell! I got to overly excited about being invited to Jieun’s party (though indirectly) that I forgot I still have a class to attend to. And that’s in an hour which really won’t give me enough time to actually think and look for the perfect gift for Jieun. I did the best thing to do at the moment and that’s to turn back around, go back to the school’s cafeteria where my beloved food is waiting for me.

“Where’s Jaejoong-hyung?” I asked when I noticed my brother’s missing. And instead of him, I found Siwon and Dongwok hyung with Yoosu. Actually I was supposed to jut leave again when I saw who else had joined my YooSu hyungdeul on our table (Aside from Siwon and Dongwook hyung, of course).

“Annyeong, Changmin sshi.” Someone please tell me I’m not blushing when I came face to face with Jieun. AND this close.

“Oh, he left when Siwon told him that Yunho-hyung looks like he’s sick.” Dongwook hyung answered handling the bottle of ketchup over to Siwon. From behind me, Seungkin appeared and shyly placed a soft kiss on Siwon’s check.

I noticed how Jieun didn’t seem to be bothered by the fact that Siwon ang Seungjin are both guys. That’s one thing I liked about her, she’s such an open-minded person.

“Changmin ah, why don’t you sit down and eat your food now instead of looking like a drooling mad man standing there… staring at Jieun sshi.”

Never in my life did I once thought of killing Junsu hyung but I at that moment, I wanted to do so very badly. If it was Yoochun hyung, it wouldn’t be very surprising but Junsu hyung?

This is all Yoochun hyung’s fault. If he never mentioned about Jieun a few weeks back, all of these teasing never would have started in the first place. And I don’t even want to entertain the thought of Jieun knowing that I like her or I will only make a fool of myself in front of her. Over and over again.

I can only thank God that my hyungdeul stopped teasing until our break’s finally over. A smile was on my face as I walked back to my own class. Why wouldn’t I be smiling when I just walked Jieun to her own class.

Jaejoong’s POV

I took another deep breath before I mustered up the courage to lift my hand up to knock on the door. But just when I’m about to do so, the door swung open.

“Jaejoong-ah…?”

Yunho was standing by the doorway with black circles around his eyes.

“Hey!” I started. “Ah I … Siwon-ah told me you weren’t feeling good today so I thought I’d drop by and check on you.”

“Ah, it’s nothing. Just having a little fever…again.”

“Can I come in?”

“Sure. Of course!”

I stepped inside, waiting for him as he locks the door.

“Are you feeling okay now?” I asked, my fingers fidgeting with the hem of my shirt behind my back. “Did you take a medicine? I can…”

“Boo, I already took some medicine. You did place medicines in my cabinet, remember?”

“Oh, right… Well, uhm…” I stood there, few steps from him before I cross the small space between us. I wrap my arms around his waist, restring my head on his chest. “Yunho-ah, mianhae.”

I heard Yunho sigh against my temple but he didn’t say anything. I only felt his own arm snaking its way around my waist as he hugged me closer. “Yunnie…”

“Hmm?” I’m starting to think he’s still angry with his silence. Tilting my head up, I cupped his face down and look him in the eye.

“Please, don’t be angry anymore, huh? I’m really sorry…for the way I acted.” I waited for a response but still nothing. I tried to release myself from his embrace only to be pulled back again. Then Yunho started swaying our bodies together. Feeling a light kiss on the top of my head, I smiled feeling the forgiveness in his touch and in the light kiss he placed on my forehead.

We stayed like that for a moment, wrapped in each others arms before he finally spoke.

“I needed to apologize, too, Boo… for not telling you about…”

“No.” I cut him off. “I understand. There’s really nothing to tell. I just got paranoid, I guess.”

“Oh, yeah, you sure did.”

“PlusIfeltjealous.” I said rather quickly and softly hoping that Yunho wouldn’t hear it by doing so. When the swaying stopped, I knew he heard me.

“You what?” Yunho laughed making me to only bury my face deeper against his chest, my failed attempt of hiding the redness on my face. “Boo, you know you have nothing to be jealous of.”

“I know but I did. Don't think I don't trust you, Yunnie ah because I do. It's Heechul that I don't trust, not when it specifically involves you.”

“Quite possessive, aren’t why?” Yunho teased as he tilted my chin up and kissed me on the lips.

We didn’t really need to say anything more. Or so I thought.

“Just one more thing, Boo…” Yunho started when we broke our kiss. “The next time we fight let’s settle it right away, alright?

I chuckled hearing the sentiment in my boyfriend’s voice. A day of not talking at all was just a torture.

“So, where we’re you going off to?”

“Well, I was supposed to buy some readymade food but now, maybe someone here can cook dinner for me, what do you think?” I just rolled my eyes at Yunho.
