Today was even weirder than yesterday. Youngjae had a strange feeling, nearly scared. Nothing wrong would come, wouldn’t it ? He was still so young !! There was a shinning future awaiting him !! He-

“Youngjae hyung !! Have you landed back to earth yet ?”. Junhong only grapped Youngjae’s attention after slapping his face [not too hard of course ^^]. Surprisingly Youngjae wasn’t snappy as usual.

“W- What ?”

“You are becoming weirder and weirder. I’m scared enough !”

“What did I do ?” Youngjae pouted.

“But I don’t need any explainations” Junhong said as he slightly shook his head “I think I got it”

“What ?”

“Daehyun hyung is absent today”

~000~

“Hi everybody !” Yongguk smiled guitily and looked at Youngjae “Sorry. Daehyun is sick today and he also isn’t going to school.” How could he feel a sense that this guy informed it so as to reassure him ? Like he cares !

It was really strange to be honest. Daehyun had never been absent, even if he was sick. Like he had tiger’s power...or something. Or because he practised more than Youngjae maybe ? But never been absent. Till today.

“Is he alright ? Can we visit him ?” asked Junhong.

“Why do we have to visit that bastard ?”

“Youngjae hyung !”

“Ok ok. I understand” smiled Yongguk “He will be very thankful if you guys go.”

“Dream on-“

“We will !” interrupted Junhong “It’s what called friendship ~”

“What’s going on ?” said the newcomer – Himchan “Hi Yongguk hyung ~”

No one needs to be there to guess whom did Himchan spend his sugar coated voice for. This Yongguk guy really had a good strong influence to him.

“Hi !” Yongguk grinned ear to ear. Yongguk probably had no intention but his affectionate gaze, his soft smile, his warm voice,… all this signs made the others feel like he was currently talking to his girlfriend.

All of them could feel it, of course except for those two people who were locking eyes at the moment after the formal greeting simple scene. It seemed like Himchan wasn’t the only one. He was lucky, wasn’t he ?

~000~

It’s not like this was the first time Youngjae set a foot in Daehyun’s house but the surprising feeling was unavoidable to him. Standing in front of a house which had no different from a mansion... Ok, it may BE a mansion. High black rows of fence with fine patterns covered a vast garden, bunchs of glowing red rose hugging tightly the mental fences reached a bit to the outside. On the fresh green grass carpet, various kinds of trees were planted like a forest. Highlighting was the high building painted in blue and red, its architecture was simple but luxurious nontheless, modern in nature, from the glass walls to the big balcony with the ivy flowers falling down to the ground from it . Whoever stepped across here couldn’t prevent the urge to steal a glance at it – a dream house. Youngjae felt a bit envy. The older’s material condition was pretty much better than his. It’s not like he wanted to complain – the house he was living in now was the happiest place to him in compare to wherever in the world, nowhere could replace it. It just… he was surprised a little bit how he could be rival of that rich kid for so long. In conclusion, he was fond of the brunette’s house, and this didn’t mean, he liked him.

“Make yourself at home !” Yongguk invited, pushing open the large door for Junhong, Himchan and Youngjae to come in, Jongup followed last. “I’ll inform Daehyun first”

“Wait ! He didn’t know we were going to pass here ?” spoke Youngjae abruptly.

“Uhm.. actually no. So ?”

“So ?? He never want other strange people to enter his house without knowing !!”

It wasn’t until now that all eyes drawed toward him. Junhong seemed less than surprised while three other people widened their eyes like Youngjae had just confirmed that meteoroid were going to collide with earth… or something like that. Yongguk tried hard to hold back his chuckle.

“How do you know ?”

After grasping what did himself just say, he bit his lip and lowered his head. He simply knew it. Was it important ? He wasn’t showing his respect toward the brunette now… wasn’t he ?

What did he end up doing now ? He didn’t expect something from Daehyun, but he himself comprehended the older more than anyone ?

“Nope, leave him. You guys go up first, I’ll wait down here” Youngjae lowered his voice and dragged his feet toward the luxious living room, sat himself comfortable on the sofa. Himchan shook his head “I don’t get it sometimes, too” then quickly climbed up the stair, knowing exactly where Daehyun’s room was.

“Yah, hyung. You have to greet him at least” demaned Junhong.

“You want him to get worse ? Because I’ll sure to punch him right by the time I see that face”

“Uhm.. Don’t you want to do that ?” Junhong smirked.

“…”

“Anyway, guys, thanks for coming, Daehyun’s sure to be thankful.” Yongguk walked out from the kitchen, carrying a tray of drinks then put it down gently on the table.

“How could he know what is thankful ?” Youngjae grimaced.

“Hyung !’

Before someone had time to say a word, hurry and forceful footsteps echoed, Himchan apeared after that, panting and worried expression “Daehyun is not there. Not here.”

“What ?”

Youngjae was taken a back because of Himchan’s information, feeling of a knot suddenly raising on his stomach ‘Where did he go ? He is sick. If something happened…’

“And he doesn’t pick up his phone. I already called.”

Yongguk sighed heavily, his one hand on his hips while the other one pulled out his phone “Alright… this kid is probably running around. I’ll have some people do search for him. Sorry you all..”

Junhong bowed politely, waved his hand at Jongup and dragged s senseless Youngjae along. Grabbing on his brother’s sleeve, Junhong sighed “Don’t worry hyung, we’ll find him…”

“Do I care about that ?”

“…”

“Wait, guys !” One more time, they were called back by Yongguk.
