It started with a drink.

            "I loved you for many years now," he slurred, casually putting an arm around his close friend. When he felt the other resisting his touch, he tightened his hold on him.

            "Dongwan... Get off me," Hyesung mumbled, his cheeks glowing pink. Even through blurred vision, his face was beautiful and lovely. While the rest of the world was unfocused, Hyesung--the one Dongwan had wanted since the very beginning--was clear and defined. The more Hyesung tried to push him away, the more he desired him.

            With another gulp of alcohol to boost his confidence, Dongwan placed his hand on the Little Prince's waist and smiled. "I want you, Shin Hyesung. I want you now and forever."

            Hyesung laughed adorably, clearly intoxicated with beer. "You're funny... Aren't you scared? Aren't you scared that he's gonna find out about this?"

            Dongwan narrowed his eyes. He hated it when Hyesung talked about him. He forcefully grabbed Hyesung's wrist, making him wince in pain.

            "Don't you dare talk about him in front of me." Hyesung looked at him with widened eyes. He looked like a small animal caught in headlights. Gosh, he was so cute. "You're mine now, you understand?" Hyesung continued staring at him with his head cocked to the side. "Do you understand?" Dongwan growled at him until Hyesung nodded hesitantly.

            "Good." Dongwan shot him a wide grin. "This is so you don't forget."

            He went in for the kiss so quickly that Hyesung didn't have the time to react. Their lips crashed together, and the world around them slowed into nonexistence. It was just the two of them, two old friends way too drunk, two hearts that were destined to be...

            At that very moment, Dongwan knew he had been right all these years. They were perfect, they were a perfect mix. They were meant to be.

            Hyesung was always supposed to be by Dongwan's side. Hyesung was always supposed to be with him, to love him, to be loved by him.

            But then there was the other him... The him who took Hyesung away from him...

            Dongwan felt something grip his shoulder firmly. His lips regretfully left Hyesung's so he could confront the intruder. He met two dark eyes, fuming with anger and fury.

            "What do you think you're doing?" he asked, but it was more of a death sentence than a question. Dongwan had known this was coming and he had dreaded it... But he had also known that it was a meeting that could not be avoided. Dongwan knew he had violated the rules... The silent rules that he had never agreed with, but had never broken in friendship and trust...

            Except he was done pretending. He was finished living out a lie.

            He couldn't hide his feelings for Hyesung any longer. Even if it meant going against all unspoken laws of brotherhood.

            Even if it meant going against one of his best friends, Eric Mun.
