"Kyungsoo! Kyungsoo! Wake up!" Baekhyun continued on shaking Kyungsoo when the other one is still on his deep slumber. "Do Kyungsoo! Yah!"

Kyungsoo mumbled incoherent words and swatted away Baekhyun's hands. "Fuck off, Baekhyun. I'm too darn sleepy to entertain your bored ass."

Baekhyun pouted putting a force on his hand, he hit Kyungsoo again. "Yah! This is an emergency!"

Kyungsoo opened his eyes with annoyance. "What is it this time, Baekhyun? I swear if this is one of your prank jokes again then I swear you'll be foundㅡ"

"ㅡfor a sleepy person, you're too much of a talker. Seriously!" Baekhyun huffed on air making his bangs flew. "I need your help."

"I'm not willing to help so please get out of my room," Kyungsoo said, rolling himself like a Burrito inside his soft and comfy blanket.

"Kyungsoo. . ." Baekhyun pouted. "Help me, please," he shakes Kyungsoo's body but he didn't budged.

It's been a month since Baekhyun and Chanyeol's wedding day. Things are going smooth since Kyungsoo decided to come back inside the mansion. While Sehun will be arriving today from China with Luhan and Shi Xun. Baekhyun will resume on working in Jung Corporation next week while Chanyeol's schedule is starting to be tight now. Baekhee and Chanhee are both enrolled in a private academy at Myeongdong.

"Baekhyun, I swear if this is one of your pranks again, call Chanyeol now and tell him that I'm going to killㅡ" and a piece of paper was shoved into his mouth. "ㅡugh!"

Baekhyun stood up, holding a pillow as a protection from Kyungsoo. "I'm sorry, okay?! You're scaring me with your threats even if it's just a joke!"

"Well this time, it's not a joke anymore! I'm going to strangle you to death now!" Kyungsoo held a pillow and he ran after Baekhyun. "Byun Baekshit you're a dead meat!" He threw the pillow but unfortunately Baekhyun was able to spare himself. The pillow instead landed on Chanyeol's face. "Uhh. . ."

Baekhyuns stopped running and the pillow from his hands slipped. "C-Chanyeol."

"When will you two stop bickering, seriously?" Chanyeol asked, half-annoyed. "It's just six in the morning and you two are like in a war right now. Baekhee and Chanhee are still sleeping."

"Blame your husband not me. He disturbed my sleep, too," Kyungsoo supplied.

"Baek. . ." Chanyeol called, Baekhyun just ducked his head down. "I'm not mad, okay? I was just not in the mood and my head is throbbing bad. So please, let there be silence inside this house even just today. Please spare this day."

"Okay. . ." The two said in unison like a kid who was caught playing dirt outside. Chanyeol left the room, leaving the two grinning dumbly.

"God, Chanyeol doesn't suit seriousness," Kyungsoo remarked.

"He sucked at it," Baekhyun second the motion. "Anyways, since you're already fully awake now, can you please do me a favor?"

"What can I do now? I lost interest on coming back to sleep already," Kyungsoo rolled his eyes. "What do you want from me then?"

"Uhm, you see, I was supposed to me a friend today but unluckily, I have an unexpected appointment with Baekhee's teacher. Will you please be my proxy today?"

"As Baekhee's father or what?"

Baekhyun grinned at Kyungsoo. "Can you please meet my friend for me?"

"And why should I do that? What if it's something important matter?"

"Nope," Baekhyun shook his head. "He's just going to give me a present for my wedding since he forgot to bring it during that day."

Kyungsoo nodded in agreement. "Okay. Tell me the whereabouts later. I'll just take a bath."

"Yay! You're really the best!" Baekhyun kissed Kyungsoo on his cheeks. "Don't worry! He's a nice person! I think you'll like him!"

Pabo Café @ 9 AM. . .

"What are you doing here?"

"I should be the one asking you that, Kyungsoo hyung," Jongin replied taking a sip of his coffee. "I was supposed to meet Baekhyun hyung hereㅡ"

"ㅡaysh. That little shit!" Kyungsoo mumbled before fishing his hand phone inside his pocket. "I'm here to get whatever you're going to give to him. Baekhyun can't make it up today because he was called by Baekhee's teacher."

Jongin nodded. He handed Kyungsoo a paper bag, but before Kyungsoo could even got it, he pulled it back to him. "But I have a favor to make."

"And who are you to ask me a favor, huh?"

"Hyung. . ." Jongin's voice has a hint of sadness. "Can we talk? Just for a little while."

"Jongin, look," Kyungsoo pulled the chair in front of Jongin and sat there. "I came here to get whatever that paper bag contains. I am a busy person, Jongin. I have no time to spare for you. I have to go as soon as possible."

"Hyung, just for 30 minutes. Just please."

Kyungsoo resisted Jongin's favor. "I really can't, Jongin."

"Then just tell me where are you going today."

"Jongin, that's none of your concern anymore," Kyungsoo rubbed his temples. "Seriously, if you won't give up then I'll do. I'll just tell Baekhyun to meet you the other day."

Kyungsoo was about to stand from his seat when Jongin held his hands. "Hyung, am I really a nothing in your life now?"

Kyungsoo smirked. "You asked for it, Jongin. I'm just doing what you wanted me to do."

"Hyung, I'm regretting everything happened that time. It's eating my system. I can't even feel that I'm living my life the way I wanted to. I lost track of my life already when I lost you."

"Jongin, you're still young. You have Krystal with you. She seemedㅡ"

"ㅡfor the nth time, Soojung is just a friend!" Jongin shut his eyes close. "Hyung, just please talk to me. At least let me explain."

"What are you going to explain furthermore? Everything is fine now. Chanyeol and Baekhyun are married. Sehun already forgiven the two of them and he's happy with Luhan. Why do we need to tackle this issue once again? It's all done and everything got resolved, Jongin."

"But ours wasn't," Kyungsoo was taken aback with what Jongin said. He felt his hands being numb with what he said. For the past months, his feelings for Jongin never changed, even just a little, that's why he's hurting when Jongin didn't made his promise that he'll visit him at Bucheon oftentimes. "Hyung, it's not everything when ours wasn't resolved yet."

"Jongin, you're making it hard for yourself," Kyungsoo tried pulling his hand but Jongin held it tighter. "Let's just move on with our lives. We met at the wrong time, Jongin. And ours? There's zero possibility of getting it fixed."

"I don't believe in you," Jongin said firmly.

"I'm telling the truth, Jongin."

Jongin smiled weakly and moved closer to Kyungsoo's face. He thought the younger one is going to kiss him but he wiped his cheeks. "You're not going to cry if you're telling the truth. You're hurting, too."

When Kyungsoo didn't uttered a word, Jongin took the chance to pull him out of the café. Kyungsoo's still spacing out when Jongin sat on the driver seat. He threw the paper bag on the back seat and started driving out of nowhere.

"Jongin, where are we going?" Kyungsoo finally spoke after a long while, he took a tight grip on the seat belt when Jongin didn't answered. "Jongin, stop the car."

"No."

"Jongin, just please stop the car."

"I said no."

"Kim fucking Jongin!" Kyungsoo's angry voice roared inside the vehicle that made Jongin step on the break. "I'm going out. We're not going to talk because we have nothing to talk in the first place."

Jongin's eyes are still glued on the road when Kyungsoo tried to open the door but he failed on it. "You can't get out of this goddamn car unless I say so."

"Jongin, I'm tired already. Stop messing with my life."

"I'm not going to mess your life! I'm here to fix you again!"

"Jongin, there's nothing to be fixed on me. I'm completely fine. I'm doing good nowadays. I'm better off this."

"Better off what?"

"I'm better without you in my life."

Jongin shut his eyes close, preventing tears to flow from it. "I don't believe you."

Kyungsoo chuckled. "It's okay. I'm used to it. You never trusted me, right?"

"I did!" Jongin's knuckles are now turning red because of his tight grip on the steering wheel. "And I regret being a jerk before! No one has an inkling how much I've suffered during those nights thinking how Chanyeol hyung, Sehun, and Baekhyun hyung's relationship has been broken because of me! No one has a an inkling how hard it is for me to get a sound sleep because your crying face is hunting me to sleep! No one! No one fucking understand what I felt those times! No one even cared to ask me if I'm fine! Not even my cousin Jongdae because I made him loathe me, too! I made everyone loathe me!"

"Chanyeol hyung has Baekhyun hyung with him. Jongdae has Minseok hyung with him. Sehun has Luhan hyung with him. While me?" Jongin looked at Kyungsoo with a sad expression on his face. "I only have you but I made you hate myself. I pushed you away," he took a grip of his hair. "I have no one beside me that time and it fucking hurts."

"Soojung. . ." Kyungsoo's expression turned sour. "You have her with you."

"Soojung is just a friend. I never felt something romantic towards her. She's a sister to me. Yes, she helped me a lot on doing good at school but I'm still not contented. Know why?"

"Why?" Kyungsoo returned Jongin's intense gaze, feeling his heart beating abnormally.

A tear fell from Jongin's eye. "Because there's a missing piece here," he pointed on his chest "I can never be complete again if I won't have you back."

"U-unbelievable," Kyungsoo answered, shaking his head in disagreement. "How come you're here saying I am a missing piece to your life when in fact you broke the promise you've made to me back then?"

"Hyung, as much as I wanted to visit you that time, my parents had me trapped in a rehabilitation center," Jongin chuckled bitterly. "I was a trash back then. I don't have the reason to continue life anymore. I've spent those nights drinking alcohol inside my room. I even locked up myself inside my room for two weeks. I don't even eat that's why I lost weight. Iㅡ"

"ㅡJongin, how dare you throw your life because of me?" Kyungsoo held Jongin's hands. "Jongin, you should've not done that."

"I did not suffered inside a rehabilitation center over a worthless person. You're always worth of everything, Kyungsoo hyung. And I regret ruining everything we have."

"Jongin, what exactly happened while I was away?"

"I was just a plain trash the whole time," Jongin chuckled bitterly again. "I sucked a big time. When I was able to recover, I came back to school and Soojung helped me to cope up with everything. I tried forgetting you using her but then again, I saw you. You came back and my feelings for you overpowered my system again. Oh no, scratch that. I think I never stopped loving you. I'm just fooling myself."

"You prick!" Kyungsoo punched Jongin on his chest. "Why do you have to make everything so hard to me?! I tried to move on with my life at Bucheon without you! God knows how I tried so hard! And just one glance of you, everything that I've tried to forget came back! I hate you, Jongin!"

Jonging chuckled again. "It hurts even more that those words are coming from you, Kyungsoo hyung," he pushed something and there's a loud thud heard inside the vehicle. "The door's open now. You may go."

Kyungsoo shook his head. "I don't want to."

"Kyungsoo hyung, if you're feeling guilty of what happened to me in the past, you should stop right there. You're not the oneㅡ"

"ㅡidiot. It's not that."

"Then if you're feeling pity on me, please don't. I've had enough of the pity party I had when people heard about my misfortunesㅡ" Kyungsoo pulled Jongin for a searing kiss. Jongin was shocked at first but he quickly responded to the kiss. Kyungsoo wrapped his arms around Jongin's neck to which the younger one snaked his arms around Kyungsoo's waist.

"ㅡI love you, Jongin," Kyungsoo whispered in between his kisses. "I never stopped loving you."
