Kyuhyun was completely agape after receiving the breaking news, momentarily unable to recollect that he was being watched by Ryeowook. He was brought back from his dazed state once the younger started to worriedly pull his sleeve. “Who is Henry? I think I heard that name before”

Ahra sternly stared at her brother, causing him to flinch – he couldn’t lie to Ryeowook when she was together listening intently to his words. Sighing in defeat, Kyuhyun thought it was saner to admit the truth.

“He is my ex-boyfriend. Before you wonder why he is coming here together with his family, our parents happen to be good friends.” Ryeowook nodded slightly uncomfortable after knowing they would be spending the next days with Kyuhyun’s old lover.

“Let’s go see my old bedroom now” Kyuhyun held Ryeowook’s hand, deciding he revealed enough already. “Wait. You won’t be staying on your bedroom” Ahra informed right after Kyuhyun said that, causing the young detective to frown. “Why?” he furrowed his eyebrows, disliking the amount of unknown information.

“Your room doesn’t have a double bed for you two to sleep together. Henry will stay there.” Ahra hesitantly said, knowing her brother would definitely dislike this. “Ryeowook… can you go ahead? It’s upstairs” Kyuhyun pointed at the stairs right ahead from where they stood, averting his gaze in order to look at the younger who was, seemingly, lost during the entire talk. He placed a gentle kiss on Ryeowook’s forehead.

Ryeowook nodded, starting to move towards the appointed place, since they probably needed to have a particular talk. “Over my dead body, that he’ll stay in my room! Move another bed to my room, or I’ll sleep with Ryeowook on a single bed. It doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t step his foot there” Kyuhyun menacingly spoke amidst his moody state. Ahra was speechless for a few seconds, which extended for nearly a minute.

“Calm down! It’s only a room… or maybe you are afraid of him finding the possessions you still save from your relationship, like that double ring necklace?” Ahra sharply pointed out, completely unaware that Ryeowook already returned because was unable to know which room it was since there were around five rooms – how was he supposed to discover, since all the doors were the same?

Kyuhyun humorlessly growled at her words, but his face paled immediately once he caught the sight of an upset Ryeowook near them. The younger was clearly stunned, unable to say anything – for some reason it hurt so badly. Perhaps because he never expected Kyuhyun to be so inconsiderate to the point of giving him something that belonged to his ex-boyfriend.

His shocked expression suddenly was replaced by a cackle, if Kyuhyun wasn’t so busy worrying about the younger’s insane state, he would’ve cursed Ahra billions of times inside his mind.

Ahra exchanged gazes with her brother, slightly confused about the reaction of the younger, only to widen her eyes once she saw the same necklace mentioned around Ryeowook’s neck. “You’re definitely the most idiot person alive” she disapprovingly murmured while staring judgmentally at her brother, with her arms crossed expecting Kyuhyun to apologize.

“Why do you always ask them to engrave my name on the presents you give me?” Ryeowook frowned as he questioned to Sungmin once he received his birthday present, it was kind of extravagant to mark everything – it was just a ring intended for adornment, not their engagement one. “That’s to show there was only one person in my mind while I was picking it.” Sungmin stated as he leaned down in order to place a gentle kiss on the back of Ryeowook’s hand.

Tears slowly start to lodge on the corner of Ryeowook’s eyes. “I am sorry Ryeowook” Kyuhyun did apologize, but he was completely ignored as Ryeowook was haunted with memories of Sungmin. “Come on, let’s go to my room” Kyuhyun started to drag the younger with him, the latter tried to resist, but it was futile.

Ahra simply watched the entire scene shaking her head negatively. As both walked upstairs, Ryeowook tried to free his wrist from the firm grasp. “Here we are.” Kyuhyun was about to open the door of his room, when Ryeowook daringly retorted “Why you brought me here? To show my next presents?”

Such declaration was able to trigger something inside Kyuhyun’s mind – it certainly annoyed him. His patience was certainly growing thinner, before he could think straight he released harsh words “It would be a waste to give any of those for you!” his eyes widened after he realized the mistake – his act was faltering. “I am s-sorry” he immediately apologized honestly regretting.

Ryeowook finally allowed the tears to flow on his fragile features.

Due to his weakened state, Kyuhyun took this as a chance to drag the younger inside the room, locking the door right afterwards.

“He might be a liar, but at least he was thoughtful” the younger inaudibly murmured referring to his sweet fiancé, starting to move away from Kyuhyun, ending up on a corner. Ryeowook’s eyes roamed through the room, sight catching a small portrait containing two kids. “I-is it him on that picture?” Ryeowook hesitantly questioned as he intently stared at it.

“Yes. We are childhood friends” Kyuhyun looked away, slightly ashamed that Ryeowook had to discover those things in such way. “… Please, can I go back?” the younger pleaded now completely a mess of sobs, he’d rather receive a harsh hit on his face than endure this mental pain – when would the pain finally go away?

“Hit me until you feel better.” Kyuhyun trapped Ryeowook, hoping that he could somehow manage to make him to stop from crying – his heartbeats were fastening as he was afraid to lose the boy, not because of his plans though. No answer came from the boy, so he decided to act on his own accord. Lips met one with another, on a very soft kiss.

Although Ryewook put up a fight, he finally calmed down afterwards, cries starting to cease. Kyuhyun uttered as he warily touched Ryeowook’s tear stained cheeks. “Fill this room with your scent, with your things, with you.”
