"Bye," Kyuhyun waved goodbye at his friends before stepping out of the bar, looking around before blowing on his hands and rubbing them together. It was already Winter season in Korea, and the temperature outside was 10°c. He sighed deeply putting his hands inside his pockets before walking back to his house. Kyuhyun smiled at one of the couples holding hands while walking as he hugged himself as he walked. 

Kyuhyun stopped for a moment as he heard something from one of the trashcans beside him, he looked at the trashcans carefully before going near it, when he was in front of the trashcans he listened more carefully from where the sound was coming from, hearing a muffled voice from behind the trashcans. He moved the trashcans away in order to see clearer. "I-is someone there?" He kept his voice low, biting his lower lip gently, he jumped a little when he heard a loud sound from the end of the trashcans. "Go away" his eyes widen as he heard a voice, He looked around for awhile before focusing on the sound again. "Are you okay?" He moved the trashcans further from the wall as he saw a man coughing and hugging himself in order to keep warm, the unknown man glared at him making him take a few steps back, "Didn't you hear me? I said, go away!" The man yelled at him before coughing again. 

"What are you doing here?" Kyuhyun asked the man as he took another jacket from inside his bag and offered it to the man. "I have no where else to stay" The man took the jacket from Kyuhyun's hands and wore it immediately closing his eyes and sighing. "Why did you bother going here anyways?" The man removed a few of his hair that was covering his face before eyeing Kyuhyun. "I-i was on my way home when i heard a noise coming from the trashcans" Kyuhyun glanced at the trashcans before looking back at the man. The man nodded slowly and stood up, "You should probably go home it's already late, Here" the man took the jacket off of him and handed it back to Kyuhyun. "No it's fine, you keep it."  Kyuhyun smiled at the man, he  received a smile from the man. "Thanks, I've been freezing here for three days already" The man chuckled softly before wearing the jacket again. 

"Do you want to stay over at my house?" Kyuhyun asked eyeing the man, "No thanks, I'm fine here." The man smiled at him, "But you're sick and you're freezing out here" Kyuhyun's voice was filled with worry. "If you insist," The man shrugged, Kyuhyun smiled at the man before offering his hand "I'm Cho Kyuhyun by the way," The man looked at Kyuhyun's hand before shaking it, "Kim Heechul." 

Kyuhyun opened the door to his house before stepping inside, "Uhm. Welcome to my house, It's not that big but it's fit for the two of us" Kyuhyun said as he removed his shoes and placed their bags on the floor. "It's nice," Heechul nodded slowly while looking around. Kyuhyun took their jackets and placed it on one of the chairs, "You think so?" He asked Heechul, "Ye--" Heechul was cutted off by his coughing, "You're really sick, sit down, I'll go get some medicine" Kyuhyun went to his bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet and got some medicine for his  sick guest.

"Here" he said before giving Heechul a pill and a glass of water. Heechul bowed slightly before drinking the medicine, he placed the glass of water on Kyuhyun's coffee table. "Thank you, Kyuhyun" Heechul smiled at Kyuhyun. "No problem, you can sleep on one of the beds inside my room" Kyuhyun pointed at his room using his thumb. "No, it's okay I could just sleep here" Kyuhyun shook his head, "No, I insist" Heechul sighed and just nodded. 

"How old are you, Kyuhyun?" Heechul asked as he lay down on one of the beds in Kyuhyun's room. "25." Heechul nodded slowly, "Call me hyung. I'm already 30" Heechul chuckled softly as he looked at Kyuhyun's surprised expression. "You live alone?" Heechul asked as he looked at the younger beside him. Kyuhyun nodded as he closed his eyes, "What were you doing behind the trashcans?" Kyuhyun asked huskily. There was silence inside the room for a moment, "Never mi-" Kyuhyun was cutted off by Heechul, "I was lost to be honest, I just moved here in Seoul and my friend kicked me out of his house because i had no job." Heechul sighed before turning to face the wall. "Oh." 

"Tragic right?" Heechul chuckled, "But it's alright, the guy's a jerk anyways." Heechul bit his lower lip to refrain himself from crying. Kyuhyun sat up and looked over to the older man beside him, "Hyung, are you crying?" Heechul immediately covered himself with the blanket, "No." 

"You know, you could tell me anything since we're friends now" Kyuhyun said, Heechul sat up and looked at Kyuhyun. "Some things are better to be kept as a secret, Kyu." Kyuhyun looked down "Sorry.." Kyuhyun trailed off, "But if you want to, I'm always here to listen since we're room mates now." Heechul just nodded and went to sleep. 

The next morning, Kyuhyun woke up early to  prepare breakfast for the two of them, He cooked some instant ramyun he found inside of his cabinet. He took two empty glasses and poured some milk into them and placed them on the dinning table along with the ramyun. He checked the time, 7:30 am. He had to leave at exactly 8 am for his job as a waiter in a small coffee shop a few blocks away from his house. Kyuhyun slowly opened the door to his room to see Heechul still asleep, wrapped in a blanket while hugging one of his pillows, he had a few of his hair on his face, Kyuhyun found this view quite interesting, he shook his head and closed the door again. He decided to eat some breakfast first or else he would be late for his work, when it was already 8 am he wrote a note and left it on the table for Heechul to read later and went off. 

Heechul coughed and turned around, slowly opening his eyes to see Kyuhyun's bed was already made, He sat up and fixed his hair before climbing out of the bed, in under five minutes he finished making the bed and did some cleaning around Kyuhyun's small room, he looked at some photos of Kyuhyun and his family, Heechul couldn't help but smile at how close the Cho family was. "If only I had a family"  Heechul thought to himself before placing the picture frame back on the drawer. Heechul went to the kitchen "Kyuhyun-ah?" he looked around for awhile before seeing the note on the table. 

Hyung, 

          I cooked some ramyun, just open the lid in front of you, If you want to leave just leave the key under the mat outside and if you want to see me just go outside and turn right and walk a few blocks straight and search for the coffee shop named "Cafe Diem". Come visit me if you want Hyung, and there's some food inside the fridge if you get hungry, and i left some cash on top of the fridge if you want to buy anything. Have a nice day hyung.

                                                                                                                                                    - Kyuhyun.

Heechul couldn't help but smile as he read the note Kyuhyun had left him, he tied his medium length hair up into a small ponytail and sat down on one of the dinning chairs and opened the lid Kyuhyun had told him to. The ramyun was still hot and the glass of milk was still cold, he grabbed the chopstick beside the bowl of ramyun and began eating. 

He stopped for awhile as he heard his phone ring, he looked around for awhile trying to find the source of the sound as his gaze landed on his bag near the door. Kyuhyun must have left it there when they got back home last night. He crouched down and opened his bag getting his phone and charger out. Heechul froozed for a second when he saw the caller I.D 

"Hangeng calling...." 

He held the phone tightly in his hands but didn't bother to answer the call. "What does he need now?" Heechul thought to himself, the ringing stopped making him sigh of relief. He washed the dishes and went to the living room to charge his phone, His phone buzzed making his heart beat fast. He unlocked his phone and looked at the text message. 

"Where the hell are you? -Geng" 

Heechul gulped hard, biting his lower lip hard as his fingers starts typing a decent reply. "I'm at a friend's house, why do you care? you kicked me out remember? -Chul" He kept rereading his text before pressing send and placing his phone on the coffee table. Heechul closed his eyes for awhile remembering what Hangeng had did to him three days ago. 

-Flashback-

"Get the out of my house!" Hangeng pushed Heechul out of his house, Heechul couldn't help but cry at how mad his boyfriend was at the moment. "W-what did i do?!" Heechul sobbed as he looked at Hangeng. "You know exactly what you did, you . How dare you go around and date someone behind my back?!" Hangeng yelled at Heechul, Heechul could only shake his head and look at the man he loved in front of him. "What do you mean?! I never dated anyone behind your back!" Heechul looked at Hangeng in confusion. Hangeng glared at Heechul before pulling Heechul's hair making the older one yelp in pain. "Then why are you with Siwon the other night? Huh?!" Hangeng yelled against Heechul's ear. 

"S-Siwon's my friend dammit! And let go of me Geng! I'm your hyung!" Heechul whimpered trying to remove Hangeng's grip on his hair. "I don't ing care" Hangeng smirked and pushed Heechul away, Hangeng ran back to his house, grabbed Heechul's bag and gathered all of his things, Heechul was still outside crying as Hangeng threw his bag at him. "I don't want to see your face ever again." 

- End of Flashback -

Heechul didn't notice that he was already crying, he used the T-shirt that Kyuhyun gave him to wipe some of his tears away. He jumped a little when his phone started ringing again, He quickly answered the call, "What the hell is your problem?!" Heechul yelled through the phone. "H-hyung.. It's Kyuhyun" Kyuhyun's soft yet deep voice made Heechul calm down a little. "Sorry about that, Hey." Heechul ran his fingers through his hair and sighed deeply, "Hyung, you should come over to the shop, since it's kind of quiet here and it's my break time" Heechul nodded, "Fine. See you Kyu, bye" Heechul hung up and went to Kyuhyun's bedroom to change clothes. 

It was really cold outside, Heechul kept hugging himself and blowing his hands to keep warm, the way to Cafe Diem was kind of long, Heechul coughed loudly a few times, he jumped a litle when he heard a loud sound behind him. he turned around as he saw a trashcan on the ground.a few garbage where scattered everywhere, he looked closely as he saw a kitten go out of the trashcan, Heechul released a sigh of relief. "Stupid cat" He mutttered under his breath and went closer to the little kitten, crouching down and taking the kitten in his arms. "We're both lost." 

"Kyu-ah I'm here" Heechul said as he entered the small coffee shop looking around, It was small but cozy. It had different wooden tables and seats, brown wooden walls and a big chandelier hanging down at the center of the shop. Heechul's eyes landed on Kyuhyun who was holding a tray with two cups of coffee, "Hyung" Kyuhyun smiled at Heechul and looked at the kitten in his arms, "And who might this be?" Kyuhyun placed the tray on one of the tables and grabbed the kitten from Heechul's hands, Kyuhyun placed the kitten on one of the chairs and looked at the older man in front of him, "Welcome to my Cafe Diem, sir." Kyuhyun bowed slightly and smiled at his hyung. "Hyung, let me take your coat" Kyuhyun went behind Heechul and took his coat off, Heechul bowed slightly to his dongsaeng and grabbed the kitten and sat down on the chair. 

"It seems nice here" Heechul observed the place while smiling, Kyuhyun stared at the older man while holding the empty tray in his hand, Heechul looked at Kyuhyun and smiled, "How long have you been working here?" Kyuhyun snapped out of his trance "two years" Heechul nodded slowly "Hyung I'll be back, and drink your coffee it's getting cold" Heechul looked at the coffee in front of him and fished out his wallet "Here let me p-" Heechul was cutted off by Kyuhyun "No hyung, the coffee is on me" Kyuhyun smiled before heading back to the kitchen.

"Who's that, hm?" one of Kyuhyun's co-workers nudged his shoulder, "My room mate" Kyuhyun answered as he placed the tray back to it's place. "Room mate huh?" His other co-worker, Donghae smirked at him, "Is he just a room mate or your new boyfrien--" Kyuhyun cutted Donghae off by glaring at him, "He's just a friend." Donghae shrugged and walked away "Let's just see." Kyuhyun rolled his eyes at Donghae's back before heading back to Heechul. 

Heechul stayed over at Cafe Diem for the whole day, he spent his time chatting with Kyuhyun and his co-workers since it was a slow day. "I heard Sungmin got another boyfriend" Kyuhyun's co-worker, Eunhyuk said while leaning closer to Donghae. The laughter around the room stopped, "Who's Sungmin?" Heechul asked innocently before drinking his coffee. Kyuhyun gulped and looked down, Donghae and Eunhyuk looked at Kyuhyun then looked at Heechul then back at Kyuhyun "Should we tell him, Kyu?" Kyuhyun sighed "Sure, we're all friends here right? Go tell him" Donghae and Eunhyuk looked at each other then at Heechul, "Sungmin is.. Kyuhyun's ex-boyfriend" Heechul coughed hard spitting some of his coffee out. Donghae got up  and went closer to Heechul, patting his back. "K-kyu, you're..." Heechul stared at Kyuhyun, "Yes. I'm gay" Kyuhyun said calmly and looked back at Heechul. "the three of us are the same, Heechul hyung" Kyuhyun pointed at himself then at Donghae and Eunhyuk. "They're dating" Kyuhyun said while pointing at Donghae and Eunhyuk, Heechul looked at them both and smiled, "I'm gay too." Heechul said while smiling, earning a cheer from Eunhyuk, Donghae glared at his lover making Eunhyuk quiet. "Excuse us" Donghae said before dragging Kyuhyun inside the kitchen. 

"There are possibilities Kyu" Donghae smirked at Kyuhyun, Kyuhyun groaned before rolling his eyes at the older man in front of him, "He's just a friend" Kyuhyun shook his head before looking outside the kitchen, he saw Heechul and Eunhyuk talking and laughing together "For now" Donghae chuckled softly before patting Kyuhyun's shoulder. "There's no way that he will like me.. I'm broken, no one wants a broken man for a boyfriend" Kyuhyun sighed looking at Heechul from the kitchen. "Oh come on, Cho Kyuhyun stop saying that. Heechul hyung seems nice, and i think he won't mind your.. past." Kyuhyun looked at Donghae, "It seems like he's not interested in me.. and I only met him last night for s sake." Kyuhyun chuckled, "I fell in love with Hyukjae the first night i saw him." Donghae laughed, "I don't know.. let's just see what happens" Kyuhyun said and dragged Donghae back to Heechul and Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun saw Heechul walk out with his phone pressed into his ear. "What happened?" Donghae asked his lover before sitting down beside him. "A guy named Hangeng called him.. maybe it was his boyfriend" Donghae and Kyuhyun looked at each other Kyuhyun mouthed "I told you so" to Donghae, Donghae glared at him and started talking to his lover. 

After Heechul went back inside, he hadn't said a word and would just look at his phone. "Hyung, is something wrong?" Kyuhyun asked, looking at the older in front of him. "No, it's nothing" Heechul faked a smile and went back to looking at his phone. "Who's Hangeng, hyung?" Eunhyuk asked, dragging a chair with him to sit down on. Heechul frooze and looked at Eunhyuk, "N-no one.. a friend." Heechul looked outside the window and gulped hard. Kyuhyun looked at the time, "My ship is over, Let's go hyung" Kyuhyun took off his apron and placed it over the counter. "Y-yeah" Heechul stood up and grabbed his coat, wearing it.  "Have fun guys" Kyuhyun smirked at Donghae and Eunhyuk, Donghae raised an eyebrow at Kyuhyun and smirked. "Good luck to you guys" Kyuhyun rolled his eyes at his hyung and followed Heechul outside. 

"What happened to you back there, hyung?" Kyuhyun asked Heechul as he hung their coats on one of the dinning chairs. Heechul looked at Kyuhyun with wide eyes, "Nothing." Heechul sat down on the couch and fiddled with his fingers, Kyuhyun sat down beside his hyung and looked at him. "Hyung tell me." Heechul looked at Kyuhyun with teary eyes, "H-hyung you're crying?" Heechul's tears began to fall. "Alright I'll tell you.. H-hangeng's my abusive ex-boyfriend.. and he was the one who kicked me out of his house four days ago... and now he's trying to find me around Seoul a-and.." Heechul couldn't go on as Kyuhyun hugged him, Heechul sobbed on Kyuhyun's chest, "Shhh hyung.. don't worry he can't find you here" Kyuhyun cooed as he Heechul's hair, "He said he would kill me if he found me" Kyuhyun's eyes widen but he decided to stay quiet. Heechul pulled away moments later and looked at Kyuhyun's shirt "I-i'm sorry Kyu, my tears are all over your shirt" Heechul bit his lower lip and wiped away some of his tears. "It's fine hyung, just tell me if that Hangeng guy calls you again alright?" Heechul nodded, "...and hyung, you should just change your number" Kyuhyun grabbed some tissue paper and gave it to his hyung. Heechul again nodded, "T-thank you Kyuhyun" Kyuhyun smiled, "Anything for you hyung."
