Changsun-hyung. He is here. I just can't seem to believe it. But my doubts were refuted when his arms went around me, his familiar warmth radiating to me. I was surprised at first, my body tensing up at the contact, but I felt like ice being thawed out. My heart rate sped up in an unusual way, the reason I didn't not bother finding out because of the man who held me at the moment.

I looked at him. He looked... different. He wasn't the flower boy hyung I go to school with anymore. He was, I chose the word carefully in my mind, bulkier. My mind is a mess right now, but I could just feel the thick cords of muscle that were against my sides, pulling me in a tighter embrace.

All the things I thought of: The pain, my anger, my doubts at meeting him, just seemed to melt away instantly. I was just really happy to see him again.

"Sanghyun." He whispered to me, drawing out the syllables, as if caressing my name. I looked down because of his intense gaze.

He cupped my face using his hand. I shivered despite the warmth. "I missed you so much, hyung." I whispered back, almost choking on the words. He was smiling at me, and I couldn't help but to smile back.

"Seungho-hyung, I thought you were the one in a relationship with Doongdoong here?" A voice suddenly said. It turned out to be G.O.-hyung. I realized that we were not alone. I jumped back, feeling my cheeks burn. Sanghyun-hyung just stared at them, his expression unreadable.

"I don't know. Care to explain, Lee Joon?" Seungho said with gritted teeth, his eyes almost burning a hole at Changsun-hyung. I gulped, staring at them back-and-forth.

I just realized Seungho-hyung called Changsun-hyung, Lee Joon. My mouth opened in surprise. Before I could stop myself, "You're Lee Joon?", I blurted out.

"Umm, yes. Rain-hyung calls me that." He scratched his head awkwardly.

His eyes suddenly went wide, as if realizing something, and turned to me, "Don't tell me you're-" he started saying.

He was cut of by Seungho-hyung, pulling me to himself by grabbing my hand. I felt his cold hands again as he put an arm around me, squeezing me hard. I looked at him, confused, he looked really pissed off.

"Yes." He answered curtly. "Cheondoong here will be the replacement. He will be part of our group starting today." 

"Cheondoong? Thunder?" Changsun-hyung asked me, looking very worried. "Did Rain-hyung call you that? I'll go talk to him. I'll-"

"It's fine, hyung. Really." I smiled at him. I didn't want the others to find out my irrational fear of thunder, not Rain-hyung, more so than ever.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again. I turned to the others.

"Umm... I'm very sorry for the commotion that we've caused." I said, bowing.

"Why do you act like mommy and daddy when they're alone in their room?" Mir suddenly asked.

"Yeaah, why?" G.O.-hyung added, smirking.

"N-no! Changsun-hyung and I have known each other since childhood. W-we're best friends." I stuttered. I abbreviated 'we're' because I wasn't sure if we are or we were best friends.

"You dated each other?" G.O.-hyung asked, feigning innocence. His smirk was wider than ever. 

For some reason, Seungho-hyung was just letting the other hyung interrogate us.

"No!" Changsun-hyung and I shouted at the same time.

"We just haven't seen each other for years." Changsun-hyung said, an awkward smile on his face.

"What do you think, Mireu?" G.O.-hyung turned to Mir. I looked at Mir. I wondered why hyung had to ask Mir that.

Mir just nodded, clutching his hyung's sleeves.

"When we go to our dorm," Seungho-hyung finally spoke. " Doongie will be staying with me. You got that?" 

We all just gaped at him in shock except for Changsun-hyung, who was looking at him with killer eyes.
