Time had passed fast as they had been walking around the fair and Seungyeon, Jonghyun, Doojoon and Krystal had already reached home.

 

Before walking in the house Jonghyun walked to Seungyeon. "I'll go see Jong Suk now then, I don't know how long it will take so just go ahead and sleep, don't wait for me to get home okay?" he said.

 

"Okay. But don't stay too late, we have to wake up early tomorrow." Seungyeon said.

"I won't." Jonghyun said and pecked Seungyeon's lips. "Bye."

 

Jonghyun left to Jong Suk's house while the others went in the house.

 

--------------------------

 

Jonghyun was standing behind Jong Suk's apartments door ringing the doorbell. He had already rang it many times but no one came to open.

 

Maybe he isn't home?

Jonghyun frowned and was just about to walk away when he heard the door opening.

 

"Oh, Jonghyun.. why are you here?" Jong Suk said and stared at Jonghyun.

"I thought you weren't home, well you just sounded strange on the phone so I came to check that everything was okay." Jonghyun said.

 

"Ohh... but i'm fine. You didn't have to come all the way here." Jong Suk lied.

"Can I come in a second?" Jonghyun asked.

 

Jong Suk was hesitating whether to let him in or not. He felt like he wanted time alone and he was afraid Jonghyun would notice that something had happened to him.

"It's okay, I can just go home too." Jonghyun said looking at Jong Suk and turned away but Jong Suk grabbed his arm.

"No no, come in." Jong Suk said.

 

Jonghyun nodded and walked inside.

"Want something to drink?" Jong Suk asked.

Jonghyun shook his head. "I don't need anything, thanks."

Jong Suk nodded walking in the living room and sat down.

 

"So, had fun today at the fair?" Jong Suk asked.

"Yeah, we had. How about you, where did you go today?" Jonghyun asked.

 

There was a moment of silence.

"I-- just had somethings-- to-- deal with..." Jong Suk said silently, he was about to start crying again as he thought about what had happened again.

 

Jonghyun looked at Jong Suk concerned. "Really, you can tell me if something is wrong? I won't tell anyone I promise."

"No, i'm fine." Jong Suk faked a smile.

 

I don't think so... Jonghyun frowned.

 

Suddenly Jong Suk burst into tears, he just couldn't hold them any longer. Jonghyun watched silently not knowing what to do.

 

"Actually... it's because of someone I like..." he whispered through sobbing.

 

--------------------------

 

Seungyeon laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. She couldn't get any sleep because Jonghyun wasn't home yet, and she couldn't still forget about the man she had met at the fashion show and what had happened after that.

 

She glanced at the window, the wind was blowing on the curtains making them almost fly away. Seungyeon got up to close the window. Suddenly she got a bad gut feeling about Jong Suk. I hope Jong Suk is alright..

 

Aigoo it's late, I hope Jonghyun comes home soon...

--------------------------

 

Jonghyun couldn't watch Jong Suk cry and went over to comfort him.

 

"Don't touch me!" Jong Suk pulled away from Jonghyun as Jonghyun reached out to Jong Suk. "I'm dirty."

 

Jonghyun ignored Jong Suk and hugged him despite Jong Suk's protest. Jong Suk's actions and words made Jonghyun remember when Key got .

 

FLASHBACK

 

It was only a few months after their parent's death. Key and Jonghyun usually came straight home after school. That day Key hadn't come home yet and it was almost 9pm.

 

Jonghyun had called Key's friends but they said that he had stayed behind in school to help the PE teacher but away the equipment. Jonghyun ran to the high school that they were attending at the time.

 

"Key!!!" Jonghyun called as he ran down the hallways checking every classroom. "Kim Kibum where are you!!"

 

Jonghyun heard sobbing from the PE boys locker room. Jonghyun opened the door to find Key's clothes and bag scattered on the ground. Jonghyun looked around and found a battered and crying Key tied to a bench between to rows of lockers.

 

"Key." Jonghyun softly whispered then ran to help him.

"Stop! No!!" Key protested as Jonghyun touched the rope.

"Kibum it's your hyung, Jonghyun." Jonghyun untied the rope.

"Hyung. Don't touch me. I'm dirty!" Key tried to pull away from Jonghyun.

 

Jonghyun ignored Key and hugged him. Key stopped struggling and hugged Jonghyun and cried.

 

END FLASHBACK

 

Jonghyun could never forget that day. Key would still occasionally have nightmares about it.

 

"Did someone you or something?" Jonghyun asked.

 

Jong Suk said nothing and continued to cry.

 

Following his instinct, Jonghyun slowly lifted Jong Suk's shirt. On top Jong Suk's abs were bruises and scratches. Jonghyun gasped. Jong Suk quickly pulled his shirt down.

 

"You-" Jong Suk covered Jonghyun's mouth.

"Don't say anything. Please." Jong Suk begged in tears.

 

It's embarrassing. It wasn't . I let him do that to me, but I wasn't happy about it and I didn't like it, nor did I do anything. Don't say anything because I don't want to have to tell you the truth and why I let him do that to me.

 

Jonghyun nodded and comforted Jong Suk. Jonghyun let the Jong Suk lean on his shoulder and cry.

 

The younger boy comforted the older boy for a while until the door bell rang.

Jong Suk quickly dried his eyes and went to the door. He looked through the peep hole and saw Seungyeon. Jong Suk opened the door.

 

"Are you okay?" Seungyeon asked. "I was worried so I came over."

 

Jong Suk nodded and let her inside. Seungyeon went inside and sat on the couch. Jong Suk went to his room and came back with a package.

 

"Here, tea." Jonghyun came in with tea.

"Thank you." Seungyeon sipped the tea.

"Here. I got this today." Jong Suk handed Seungyeon the package.

"What is it?" Seungyeon took the package, but she noticed Jong Suk's red and swollen eyes.

"Open it." Jong Suk clearly faked a smile.

 

Seungyeon opened the package and revealed it's contents. Inside was an apology magazine to Seungyeon that was dated to hit the stands in the morning. Also inside was a written apology letter to Seungyeon from the head of the magazine.

 

"How did you do it?" Seungyeon asked.

"I pulled a few strings." Jong Suk smiled, but the back of his mind was having flashbacks of his stay at the hotel.

 

Jonghyun wearily eyed Jong Suk. Did he get there? He said he's crying because of someone he likes. Maybe the person he likes is the string and him as he was getting the apology. I want to ask, but Seungyeon's here. I shouldn't ask when she's here, men have pride.

 

"That should clear your name." Jong Suk smiled. "Now you can model freely."

"Thank you so much." Seungyeon hugged Jong Suk.

 

Jong Suk winced as Seungyeon hugged his bruised body.

 

"Do you want to spend the night? It's already 3am. It'll be really late by the time you get home." Jong Suk looked at the time.

Seungyeon started to decline. "We don't want to bother-"

"We'll stay. Let's set up bed here in the living room." Jonghyun said, guessing that Jong Suk probably didn't want to be alone since he was just and Key didn't want to be alone when he got .

"Okay." Jong Suk went to grab the things for the bed.

 

Seungyeon looked at Jonghyun. "Are you sure? We might trouble him."

"No we won't. I don't think he'll mind." Jonghyun went to help Jong Suk.

 

After setting up the bed Jonghyun laid in the center while Seungyeon and Jong Suk laid on both sides of him.

"I'll set up the alarm for 5AM... wahh, we will get just like two hours of sleep." Seungyeon yawned she set the alarm on her cellphone.

"We can sleep on the train right." Jonghyun said.

 

"Good night." Seungyeon said. "Good night." Jonghyun also said. ".. night..." Jong Suk whispered silently.

 

Seungyeon and Jonghyun fell asleep almost right away but Jong Suk couldn't get any sleep because of everything.

He turned to face Jonghyun and looked at Jonghyun and Seungyeon who laid really closely to each other.

It was worth it right?

 

--------------------------

 

*diudiudiudiu doyoyoyoyyouing blingblingbling ringriiiiinggg*

 

Seungyeon's alarm was ringing when it was 5 o'clock. Seungyeon whined a little and moved her hand towards the phone and shut it. She rubbed her eyes and glanced towards Jonghyun.

 

She blinked her eyes when she saw Jong Suk holding his arm over Jonghyun's chest.

Jonghyun and Jong Suk seem so close already, well no wonder, who wouldn't want to be friends with Jonghyun..

 

Seungyeon watched the two for a while smiling a little bit.

I should let them sleep for a while longer..I wonder where the bathroom is.. she got up to find the bathroom and get ready before the boys.

 

Slowly also Jonghyun woke up, he felt too tired to open his eyes and felt something heavy on top of him, he thought it was Seungyeon as in his sleep he had forgot they were at Jong Suk's place.

 

"Is it already five?" Jonghyun mumbled and Jong Suk's hair thinking it was Seungyeon. There was no reply as Jong Suk was still asleep.

Jonghyun opened his eyes slowly and glanced to where he was excepting to see Seungyeon.

 

He flinched surprised when he saw Jong Suk. Oh, right, we slept here yesterday... he remembered and looked at Jong Suk who was sleeping peacefully there. But where is Seungyeon? he glanced to the other side of him.

 

Seungyeon then walked out the bathroom.

"Oh, your awake... you think it would be okay if I started making a quick breakfast? I think we should let him sleep." Seungyeon said looking at Jonghyun.

"Yeah, I think it's fine." Jonghyun said. "I'll come help too in a minute."

 

Seungyeon nodded and walked in the kitchen.

 

Jonghyun carefully tried to remove Jong Suk's hand off his chest but as soon as he did so, Jong Suk put his hand back right away.

"Don't make me go back there." Jong Suk mumbled in his sleep.

 

Jonghyun softened.

 

"No... Stop...Please don't-ahhh!" Jong Suk sat up. "."

"You okay?" Jonghyun put his hand on Jong Suk's shoulder.

"So I wasn't dreaming." Jong Suk sadly mumbled.

 

Seungyeon heard Jong Suk and came out to check on him.

 

"I'm going to shower." Jong Suk went to the bathroom.

 

"What's wrong with him?" Seungyeon asked.

"Don't worry about it. He's going through a lot right now." Jonghyun hugged Seungyeon. "I'll help with breakfast. Then when we're done we can go home change then go Romeo and Juliet houses."
