The Mall - 12:25 P.M. - Restaurant

“Minseok? Is that really you?” Luhan asked before he slowly untangled himself from his awkward embrace with Baekhyun and looked at the other man standing in front of him.

“Luhan!” Minseok grinned; he placed the glass of water he was holding on the table before turning around to hug his best friend he hasn’t seen in almost two years.

“What are you doing here?!” Luhan asked.

“I transferred to Seoul a couple of months ago for school; if I had known you were here, I would’ve called!” Minseok explained as he continued to stare at Luhan in awe.  

Baekhyun on the other hand was fuming with jealousy, he wanted to know how these two knew each other and why were they so touchy feely with one another. It wasn’t fair, the only thing he enjoyed day after day was his forty-five minutes of mindless chatter and flirtatious touches with his favorite waiter at his favorite restaurant; he couldn’t help but feel that everything he ever wanted in life was being taken away from him.

“Not to sound rude or anything, but how do the two of you know each other?” Baekhyun interjected, interrupting the countless hugs and smiles as he began to grow tired of everyone ignoring him.

“Oh sorry Baekhyun I forgot you were there!” Minseok apologized.

 Baekhyun on the other hand frowned that yet again, someone forgot his existence.

“Minseok and I used to be best friends back in Beijing.” Luhan explained, as he sat back down while Minseok took the seat next to him.

Baekhyun boiled with envy, his current situation was hard as it is. He was gay man living in a homophobic society. The least Luhan could do was not take every good looking gay man that Seoul had to offer. Minseok was his, and now he’s close to losing him, to Luhan, the guy who everybody loves.

He hated the fact that Luhan could get any man he wanted without trying; he hated the fact that Luhan was so oblivious to the fact that he was madly infatuated with Minseok and that he wanted nothing more than to create distance between the two other men so that they could be as far away from each other as possible.

But he couldn’t blame Luhan; Luhan had always given him the benefit of the doubt when everyone else judged him. He was probably just bitter because when he and Chanyeol broke up, Chanyeol got all of their friends in the “divorce” and he was left with nothing. 

“Baekhyun?” Minseok called for his name, earning a shallow gasp from the shorter boy. He forgot that people were talking to him.

“Sorry, I was just thinking about something.” Baekhyun said as he took a tiny sip of water to cool down his nerves.

“How have you been Luhan?” Minseok asked.

“I’m fine, I guess.” Luhan chuckled. “I’m teaching now so I’m pretty happy.”

Luhan couldn’t believe how much Minseok has changed physically since High school. For starters, the boy had muscles; muscles that looked like they could do some serious damage but still reminded him of his best friend from the ninth grade that couldn’t even open a jar of pickled relish.

“Someone’s been hitting the gym” Luhan chuckled as he pinched the exposed skin on Minseok’s right arm, earning a blush from the other boy and a death wish from Baekhyun.

Minseok laughed “Yeah, I kind of have to.” He replied

Luhan could tell there was a double meaning to what Minseok just said but he wasn’t going to dive into it right now. Plus they weren’t alone, Baekhyun was still here.

Speaking of Baekhyun, who was the whole reason he came here in the first place. Luhan needed to talk to him in private; they only had a few hours left before hell freezes over.

Luhan shuffled through his pockets before he found a receipt he didn’t need “Do you have a pen?” he asked Minseok.

“Here” Minseok replied, handing Luhan the black pen he kept inside his side pocket. 

Luhan scribbled down a couple of words and numbers before giving Minseok his pen back and the receipt “Here’s my number Minnie, call me sometime so we can talk.” Luhan smiled as he handed the other boy the piece of paper with his phone number and home address on it.

Minseok nodded in reply “Thanks Luhan, I would really like that…”

Baekhyun’s entire mood turned red with anger, he needed to make his move now, if he didn’t, he might just lose the one person who he actually might have a chance with.

“I’m sorry to break it to you guys but my break is unfortunately over. I should get going before my boss kills me.” Minseok said as he was about to turn around and leave before he felt something tug on his arm.

“Minseok-si, can I talk to you for a minute?” Baekhyun asked as he felt the sweat gather on his forehead. He needed to take this chance; he was tired of always being alone.

Minseok smiled before dragging Baekhyun to a remote corner in the back of the restaurant. The private nook beside the fireplace made the perfect place for Baekhyun to finally confess his feelings to the older boy.

Minseok gestured Baekhyun to sit on the right side of the table so he could get some of the warmth from the fire that dimly lit their table, making Baekhyun’s ears turn pink from the romantic setting. The only thing missing would be if a waiter suddenly appeared playing the violin.

“You wanted to talk?” Minseok asked as he pulled out the seat for Baekhyun, needless to say Baekhyun blushed from the gentlemanly gesture.

“Yeah, ugh… I don’t really know how to say this. I’m kind of nervous to be honest.” Baekhyun confessed as he began to fiddle with his slender fingers.

Minseok gave Baekhyun a tender smile to ease the younger boy’s nerves. “It’s okay Baekhyun, you can tell me.”

“Minseok, it’s been about four months since we’ve met… and… I think I like—” Baekhyun was cut off when a pair of muscular arms suddenly s themselves around Minseok’s shoulders.

Minseok’s entire face lit up when he turned around; the way he smiled at the man standing behind him made Baekhyun’s stomach want to eat itself.

“Baby? What are you doing here?” Minseok said discreetly as he stood up from his seat and gave his boyfriend a hug.

“I wanted to surprise you at work. I’ve been so caught up in the hospital lately that I thought I would take you out for lunch.” The other man replied, not once acknowledging Baekhyun’s existence, even if he was standing beside his boyfriend.

In layman’s terms, Baekhyun was once again being ignored.

“Oh, sorry Baek, this is my boyfriend Yuhan. Yuhan this is one of our most valuable customers Byun Baekhyun.” Minseok introduced while Yuhan extended his arm for a handshake.

Baekhyun shook the man’s hand, he didn’t want to be rude, but it was kind of hard not to be seeing that his chest started to ache and his eyes were starting to get glassy.

“What did you want to talk to me about Baek?” Minseok asked.

“I-I… ugh… I just wanted to say that… um… The humus was really good today.” Baekhyun lied; he didn’t even order humus today. It pained him that he couldn’t let Minseok know how he truly felt about him, but the feeling of rejection would have been a lot more painful.

Minseok furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Baek, are you alright?”

Baekhyun quickly nodded “I-I’m fine, I got to go… Luhan is waiting for me. It was nice meeting you Yuhan.”

“Nice meeting you too.” Yuhan smirked before he wrapped his arm around Minseok’s waist.

Even though Minseok wasn’t convinced that Baekhyun was fine he thought it was best to leave the smaller boy alone for awhile. After all, Baekhyun was a strong person. Baekhyun was stronger than he could ever be.

“Are you sure?” Minseok asked one more time just to be safe.

“Y-Yeah I’m fine, I just… have to g-go-o” his voice cracking at the end as he ran out of the restaurant crying, holding his chest while he pushed through a handful of people so he could get as far away from Minseok and his boyfriend.

“This is my boyfriend”

“This is my boyfriend”

“This is my boyfriend”

Those four words echoed through Baekhyun’s mind like a stab to the chest. He never even had a chance with Minseok in the first place. Minseok was taken and Baekhyun felt more alone than he ever felt before.

“How could you be so stupid Byun Baekhyun? You should have known a guy that perfect already had a more handsome, muscular, richer boyfriend. How could you think someone like him would like someone as pathetic as you? You don’t deserve to live, life hates you anyway; you don’t deserve to be happy.”

Baekhyun cried and cried until Luhan finally found him and started to run after him.  

“BAEKHYUN!” Luhan yelled as he tried his best to catch up with the smaller boy.

“LEAVE ME ALONE LUHAN!” Baekhyun yelled back, he didn’t want to offend Luhan but he just wanted to be alone right now. He didn’t want to other boy to see how pathetic his current state was.

“BAEKHYUN WAIT!” Luhan yelled again as he continued chasing Baekhyun into the department store.

The Mall – 12:19 P.M. – Hunt

Tao looked through the countless amounts of “mature” DVD’s they had at the restricted section of the video store and he just couldn’t find what he was looking for.

Tao was supposed to be looking for this Baekhyun fellow but grew tired after ten minutes of searching; so instead of searching the entire mall he decided to check out some at his favorite video store.

He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of defeat. The gay section hasn’t had any new arrivals since his last visit.

“10 Things I’d About You”

“Blown In 60 Seconds”

“Austin Powers: Gold Shower”

“Batman In Robin”

“I HAVE SEEN THEM ALL!” Tao groaned, he wanted something new and exciting. He was getting tired of watching . Shoot, the only reason he rents instead of downloading it on the computer is because he hoped that someone would at least have the decency of asking him if he wanted to have a quickie in the men’s bathroom.

“ugh…”

Tao’s ears perked at the sound of something or someone . He knew what those moans were; those were moans of ual frustration. Maybe he was going to have a fun time after all.

He made his way to the other side of the store and carefully tip-toed to the Romantic section were they sold sappy movies such as “The Notebook” and “Twilight”. He could hear the sound of someone breathing a bit too heavily as he crooked his head sideways to get a better vision of the other customers in the store.

“Kris?”

Tao found Kris standing beside the back of the storage room with a really weird look on his face. He was sweaty and looked as if he was seconds away from fainting.

Kris probably didn’t hear Tao when the other boy called out his name; he was too preoccupied with the toy inside of him that he didn’t notice the other boy secretly creeping up on him.

“BOO!” Tao yelled into Kris’ ear as he gently pushed Kris from the back.

Kris on the other hand nearly lost his balance when Tao pushed him, the toy inside of him hitting his bundle of nerves in the most precise moment, making him squirm as he shut his eyes from the intense pleasure he was feeling.

“What’s this?”  Tao asked innocently as he picked up the pink remote that controlled Suho’s .

Kris’ eyes widened in horror, Tao was currently holding the remote that controlled the speed of Suho’s stupid that he foolishly placed inside his . He must have dropped it when Tao pushed him.

“Tao…” Kris said softly, as if he was talking to a stray cat and he didn’t want to scare it away.

“Yes Gege?” Tao replied.

“Please give me the remote.” Kris said as he slowly inched his way closer to the other boy and his precious remote.

Tao smirked, he wasn’t dumb, he’s been in this situation numerous of times to know that this remote controlled something that was meant to make you sweat, squirm, and squirt.

“I don’t think so Gege.” Tao replied before he turned up the speed from Level 2 to Level 5.

Kris practically yelped when he felt the speed intensify. He dropped to his knees as he came face to face with Tao’s crotch. Kris thanked God that they were the only two people in the entire store at the moment. He was so stupid to think this would be a good idea in the first place.

“It’s only twenty minutes past twelve Kris, better get comfortable.” Tao said as he childishly waved the remote in front of Kris’ face.

Kris gulped. He hated his life.
