"I don't see why we're even doing this. They'll break up next week if that Rie character even gives him a chance." Nine continued his complaining.

KB sighed softly. "Just be positive and be supportive. He has to learn the hard way."

The trio walked into the club once again, but this time, they were dressed in formal attire.

"So... we go in and come back out, right?" Junji looked back at Nine and KB. Nine nodded.

"Yeah... in and out. I won't get caught up again." KB walked in first, Junji and Nine followed closely behind him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Rie..." Yoojung put down his makeup brush. "Can I tell you something?"

Rie looked up at Yoojung. "Sure, why not."

"I think I'm in love." Yoojung smiled softly. Rie frowned.

"In love with who? It better not be who I think it is..." Yoojung nodded happily. Rie rolled his eyes. "Mill! Come get a load of this!"

Mill came out and sat down by Rie. Yoojung went and sat by the pair as well. "What's up?"

"Yoojung is in love with that KB guy." Mill looked at Yoojung.

"Really?"

"Yeah! That's outrageous, isn't it?" Mill smiled.

"Nope. Not at all." Rie looked over toward Mill.

"You're joking..." Both Mill and Yoojung giggled softly.

"Hyung, KB is a good guy." Mill sighed.

"I have to admit that Nine isn't too bad..." Rie looked in between his two friends with a very confused look.

"Have you two lost your shit? How can you fall for someone in one night?" Yoojung and Mill both shrugged. "What did you two fall for? Their breathing?!"

"Well... KB is husband material. He looks mean, but he's really sweet and gentle. Afterward, he poured me glass of wine, and we sat in front of his fireplace. He even made me breakfast this morning." Mill leaned in a little closer to Yoojung.

"Really?" Yoojung nodded.

"He told me about some things he did as a kid and how he managed to build up his dad's failing company. He even told me some of his military stories." Yoojung and Mill both giggled to themselves again.

"Well, Nine is WAY different. He's a little rougher..." Yoojung and Rie both looked worried. "But... I like that about him." Yoojung smiled softly. Rie shook his head in disappointment.

"Tell us more." Yoojung rested his head on his hand, listening to Mill speak.

"Well... we have a thing going on. We tease each other a lot, almost as if we've known one another forever. To be honest... I feel free with him. I don't have to hide who I am with Nine. He's still immature, but... I can fix him. I can handle the little bastard." Mill smiled at his own thoughts and reminisces.

"What about you, hyung?" Yoojung looked at Rie. Mill did as well.

"What about me?"

"What was Junji like?" Yoojung and Mill both moved closer to Rie, trying to force a response without saying anything.

"Don't you two find sharing personal experiences a bit odd at times?"

Yoojung pouted. "It's not odd."

"Yoojung-hyung is right. We aren't asking you to tell us how he is in bed. We just want to know how you felt about it." Rie sighed.

"You two won't let me live, will you?" Mill and Yoojung shook their heads 'no'. "Well... he's not necessarily the happiest camper, but his patience is nice. He's really good at pacing himself. Junji isn't like a lot of the others I've dealt with, he's... caring, and he has strong morals. He gives into pressure really easily... it's as if he cracks before you even question him. He's loyal... and, if I'm really being honest... he seems like a pretty decent guy, I guess... with his... soft hair and... blush pink lips. His warm, milky skin and... his eyes..." Yoojung and Mill looked at each other momentarily before looking back at Rie. "And then... don't get me started on his voice... even his breathing is just-"

"Why did you stop?" Yoojung and Mill smiled.

"Are you... catching feelings?"

"NO! That's why I left him this morning." Mill wrapped his arm around Rie.

"Sung-ho hyung, let's be serious for a second. No nicknames, no jokes, nothing..." Rie looked up at Mill. "Let me be honest with you... not just as your friend but as someone as close to you as a brother..." Yoojung leaned in to hear better as well. Mill moved closer to Rie's ear. "You. Are. IN LOVE WITH THAT MAN, STUPID!"

"YONG-SOO!"

"WHAT? No one ever describes someone they've merely had a one night stand with like that." Mill crossed his arms. Rie sighed as he rubbed his ear.

"You're crazy. Both of you." Mill and Yoojung both shook their heads in disappointment.

Another male had walked into the room. He went in with what looked like a thick, black belt. It was their boss... or The Madame.

"What are you three doing?" The trio looked up. They knew that voice. They feared that voice.

"We're just... getting ready..." Rie tried to put on a smile, and somehow he did.

"You don't say... don't let me come back in here, boys. I don't want to do something that neither one of us will like, you know? The bid starts in five minutes... and Rie?"

"Yes?"

"Do you job and keep these two in check." The Madame then turned and left.

The trio went back to prepping themselves for the bid.

"Rie..." Yoojung had paused once again.

"What is it now, Yoojung?"

"When did you think we'll see them again?" Mill and Rie both looked up at Yoojung.

"Guys like them only come around once. They get their quick fix, and then you never see them again. You'd be lucky if you even heard one of their names at all." Rie's expression didn't change. He still looked rather upset, similar to Mill.

"Don't say that."

"It's true, Yoojung! Real love doesn't exist! Neither does those dramas and fairytales. Even fate is a big scam!" Mill sighed softly. Yoojung turned and looked at Rie.

"You're just saying that because that's what your mother told you!"

"And my mother was right." Rie frowned.

"Your mother was wrong! She clearly told you to pit you against your father! In case you forgot, your mother left you behind! You told us when it happened!"

"Face the facts! Tae, you're NEVER going to see him again, and if you do... it'll be nothing but a pure coincidence." Mill looked at Rie in shock but mostly hurt.

"How do you know tha-"

"LEE TAE-YEOB! I've heard enough. Now finish getting ready for the bid. The sooner you're done, the sooner we can get all of this over with." Yoojung threw his brush and stormed off.

"I don't feel like brightening up today..." Mill watched as Yoojung walked away before getting up and following behind him.

"Me neither..." Rie shook his head in disbelief.

"How are they two grown men, acting as if they're children..." After a while, Rie had finished getting himself together, as well as Mill... but Yoojung was no where to be found. "Mill, have you seen Yoojung come out?"

"No... I thought that he was still back there changing." Mill and Rie both went to the back to search for Yoojung, only to hear him crying in the room, by himself...

"Yoo..." Rie sat down by and wrapped his arm around him.

"I don't want to be here..."

"Yoojung, if this is still about KB then-"

"It's not about him! It's about this place! The people here are mean, the boss is a maniac and nobody here gives a shit that we don't get a break! I'm tired!" Rie patted Yoojung on the back softly.

"It'll be okay... I think." Yoojung looked up at Rie, his makeup was running down his face.

"I have dreams too, hyung. I have goals but, I can't reach any of them if I stuck here." Yoojung sniffed.

"Look, we came here together and-"

"We aren't going to leave together, though. I'd rather run away then wait for the two of you to come to your senses." Mill, once again, looked hurt, but he didn't say a word.

"Yoojung, what if you don't make it? What if Love catches you? Then what?" Yoojung shrugged his shoulders before tearing up again. "Okay... come here. You too, Mill." Both Mill and Yoojung laid their head on Rie's shoulders. "Don't cry, Yoo. It's alright."

The three of them had sat there for a short while, that is until the Madame came back.

Rie heard his footsteps. The three of them rushed around, making it look as of they were still getting ready.

"So... you aren't done yet?" Love looked at the three males scrabbling around that little room.

"Sorry Madame. We'll be out soon." Rie bowed softly.

"Soon? Soon is later. You're already late. The bid started. I need to sell you three as soon as possible or else I might lose buyers which means I lose a lot of potential cash." Love stood there and watched the trio with a look of dissatisfaction.

"We're sorry, Ma-" Love grabbed Rie's arm and pulled him closer.

"Sorry won't cut it. There's debt to pay and people to satisfy... and you keep messing up." As soon as Love raised his hand, preparing to hit Rie... someone caught him.

"Boss... you shouldn't mess them up now... they have a bid to do." Love looked up at the one who caught him.

"Fine. But, as soon as you all come back... just know that you're done for." Love walked off and went back outside to the people.

"Are you okay?" Rie nodded.

"Thanks Jackson..."

"No problem... you three should get going." Rie nodded as he walked out with Mill and Yoojung behind him.

A/N: Guess who's in that crowd of bidders, though. 😀
