THE weekend came about, the time of where some could either refresh themselves with more sleep as they didn't have to wake up at seven a.m to get ready. Or, others had activities planned for them such as Minghao, standing in a room as he practiced the violin. Minghao was going to be honest, he had no clue what he was playing. He simply read the music sheet and allowed his fingers to do the magic. His mother, who sat in the room with him sipped a cup of tea as she sat in the corner on a stool. "Minghao, be more elegant. Why can't you put some emotions in while you play?"

Minghao removes the bow's hair from its correlating strings. His chin and shoulder becoming sore from holding up the maple colored instrument. Setting the two parts by his side, he gives his mother an unhappy expression. "Because I don't want to play the violin," He admits, walking over to the violin's case to place the instrument back in carefully. Arranging the pieces back in their designated spots, he closes the case. "I have better things to do..."

His mother sets down her teacup on the small porcelain plate that sits on a table in front of her, "Why are you talking nonsense Minghao? That's unacceptable, get back to playing right now. We shouldn't be wasting any time."

Minghao ignores her demand, grabbing the case's handle he shakes his head, "I'm going to go do my physics homework. Soonyoung might be texting me for help." Walking out the cramped room, he quickly makes his way to his room upstairs before his mother can catch him. It was clear that she was going to be angry for the rest of the day because of his unacceptable attitude. But, he was sure his dad would calm her down at some point. Entering his room, he shuts the door and locks it. Setting his violin down in its claimed position of his room, he throws himself on the bed. "This sucks..I've got violin skills but I don't even enjoy playing." He wished that he could just leave his forced activities behind and focus on the ones he actually wanted to do. But, that would cause too much trouble in his household, knowing that his parents spent hundreds of dollars on Minghao's lessons.

He pushes himself up, walking over to his window as he got bored. Usually, during these times he'd force himself to do some homework or study upcoming material so he would be ahead of everyone else. But, that didn't seem like any fun to him. He felt like talking to Jun. The boy's window wasn't open, he also didn't have his number so contacting him was out of the picture. If he yelled, there was a possibility his parents would hear him. He didn't know what to do in order to summon the boy. "Jun~"

There was no response, which he expected as his voice was too soft for him to hear. With the glass being in the way, he was unsure if Jun would be able to catch his words. That's when he realized, he was reminded of the fact that Jun had an Instagram account, so why not just message him there? Minghao was definitely a genius. Slipping his phone out from his pocket, he opens the gradient colored app and searches for Jun's username. It was easy as it simply was his full name. Sending him a message, all he can do is wait.

Jun on the other hand just got out the shower. He walks over to his table to grab his phone that is plugged within his standing charger. Checking his notifications, he realized he got a message from Instagram. Unlocking his phone, he didn't recognize the username until he read the message.

xuth8
> jun! it's me minghao sorry if i'm bothering you but i'm bored )):

The older brunette can't help but smile, he quickly accepts the boy's request as he needed to in order to permit them to continue the conversation. He quickly hops onto his bed, though his hair was still pretty wet, that didn't matter within the moment.

xuth8

wenjunhui
> i believe in you !!

As Minghao leaves the conversation for a bit, he hesitates to inform his mother about the sudden duty. Instead, he directs his phone to his default messaging app. He was sure his father was working in his office, knowing his schedule quite well. While his mother may have shut herself up in her shared bedroom. Texting his father a small message, he waits for his response.

dad
> tutoring? sure, i'll tell your mother. please don't be out too late and stay safe.

Sighing in relief, he was glad his father was more lenient. In all means, he felt more comfortable around his father mostly because he only followed along with his mother's act. Knowing that she'd be unpleased if anyone disagreed with her.

minghao
> thanks dad!

He returns to texting Jun, saying how he'd be over in a few minutes so he could 'tutor' him. Minghao puts on comfortable attire, black jeans with a graphic t-shirt that was tucked into his bottoms. Minghao grabs his trusty cross-over bag and lanyard that had his keys. He pulls one of the slots of his drawer to reveal his socks, he takes a pair and slips them on quickly. "Wait, I brushed my teeth right?" As he sets his attention on himself in the mirror. Cupping his hand over his mouth he exhales. There was a minty hint to the smell so he gives himself a thumbs up, he forgot that he wasn't able to eat breakfast due to violin practice. Grabbing his phone, he runs out his room and towards the door. He doesn't want to risk running into his mom, so he slips on his shoes and heads out the door. Of course, he doesn't forget to lock it before heading to Jun's. "Wonder if Jun is ready?" The younger questions to himself as he finds himself at his destination in flash.

Minghao was unsure if he should ring the older boy's doorbell, did he even tell his parents that he was having someone over? It was quite early as well, about nine-thirty two a.m. It would be quite awkward for Minghao to face one of his parents without them being informed of his appearance. But, the door opens without him committing any actions. Did they have security cameras? He looks up but spots nothing of such sort.

"Jun brought his boyfriend over mom! Jun brought a boy over!" A brunette shouts, pointing at Minghao. Maybe it was Jun's younger brother, but he couldn't focus on that as he was embarrassed to hear what the child called him.

"Fengjun!" Jun screams from the stairs, he's in the midst of slipping on a shirt and Minghao caught half of his exposed body. Looking away, the younger boy - well Fengjun laughs at the situation he's in. The taller runs towards his younger brother, picking him up and throwing him to the nearby couch. With Junhui's strength, in his eyes, he was basically throwing a pillow. "Sorry about him, he can be annoying."

"Jun! Mom wants to meet your boyfriend!" The little rascal teases, pointing to their mother who awkwardly stands in the kitchen. She's prepared tea and a couple of biscuits for the guest. Jun walks away from Minghao for a quick second, grabbing one of the decorative couch pillows and beating his younger brother with it. Mrs. Wen, signals Minghao to enter the home. Bowing to the older woman, he does and closes the door while at it. He slips off his shoes, watching as Jun still fought with his brother. "You're not being boyfriend material right now! Beating children is abuse!"

"It doesn't count as abuse if it's your sibling!"

Mrs. Wen only laughs at her two sons, she walks over to Minghao slowly to greet the younger male. "Nice to meet a new friend of Junhui's, it's been a while since he's brought someone over."

Minghao gives her a warm smile, "I'm happy that you've allowed me to enter your home."

"Ah~ Such a polite child, may I get your name?"

"Xu Minghao," He shortly informs, her eyes glisten as she was surprised to hear the name, "I'm also from China, but, I can tell that you're aware from just my name."

As the two hold a small conversation, they move to the dining table so Mrs. Wen can serve Minghao a cup of tea. She was happy that Jun found a lovely boy to talk to, and if Fengjun was correct that the two were dating, she would admit that she already liked Minghao. "Does Jun always bully his brother?" Minghao questions, pointing to the brunette who is still going at it with his younger sibling. It seemed to be a regular thing as Mrs. Wen didn't seem fazed by it.

"No, he doesn't. It seems to be that he's merely embarrassed by what Fengjun has said."

"Oh," The ravenette scratches his neck awkwardly, "I can see why. I'm not Junhui's boyfriend, just boy and friend. So a boy-friend." As he emphasizes the space. Mrs. Wen's lips part as she was slightly disappointed but embarrassed by her assumptions.

"I'm sorry, Fengjun has a habit of teasing Jun." She shortly apologizes, "I'll be sure to make him apologize..."

"Why apologize when Jun was gushing about him to Shua the other night!" Fengjun defends himself to his mother, but a pillow hits his face knocking him down.

"Shut up your twerp! I'll feed you to the rats!"

"Ew, I don't want to be eaten by you! A rat and a cannibal!"

Minghao lets out a little giggle, of course that throws Jun off guard as he found it utterly adorable. But, this left him open to Fengjun as he jumped on his brother's back, wrapping his legs around him to keep him stable. Fengjun begins to smack Jun's head with great speed, "Take that you bean pole!"

As Mrs. Wen ignores them, she taps Minghao's shoulder. "Take care of Junhui for me okay?" It was a small favor, but it would create great results as she came to the conclusion that Minghao meant a lot to her son. "He seems to treasure you dearly."

The boy nods his head, though it seemed like a great responsibility. If it was Jun he'd be looking after, maybe it wouldn't seem like a job, but more of a blessing.
