"What do you think they are doing now?"

All 6 of them were now gathered in the mall's food court after running away from their crime scene- scared that their leader would break out of the house and tear them to pieces. Nonetheless they were safe for now, drinking their respective drinks and eating their choice of pastry.

"Knowing Hongjoong hyung, he should be very flustered right now and looks away from Hwa hyung."

"And knowing Seonghwa hyung, he should be a blushing mess right now"

And they were right, that is exactly the issue right inside the locked house. It was quiet with the two men sitting in the living room being very awkward. Hongjoong felt like he should be the one to take the initiative to talk to Seonghwa and make his first move but he was still deep in denial to know and act. After a few more minutes of awkwardness, Hongjoong broke the silence.

"So, um, w-why were you here?"

"U-um uh, I uh, Yunho called me and said Jongho and Mingi were fighting and you weren't home so I came here, though when I came there was no one here."

"He also called me and used the same excuse so I was surprised you were here."

Another wave of silence came over them and at least this time it was comfortable. It was easier to move and breathe now that they have cleared the air and the leader used it in his advantage. "Well, since we're stuck here do you want to tour the house?"

"Sure"

After a couple of hours, they were done touring the house. To say that Seonghwa was surprised was an understatement. How could you not be mind-blown to tour a house with 3 basements, 10 stories up, with a bowling alley, an indoor swimming pool, 2 large arcades, and 3 gyms inside? He knew he was rich but not THIS rich. Who needs 10 bathrooms and an indoor Jacuzzi?

"You know," Hongjoong broke the silence in the balcony where they were drinking their iced beverage under the night sky. It has been a couple of hours after the lock up and 20 minutes after the exhausting tour of the grand mansion. Seonghwa looked at him, "it wasn't that bad to be locked up here with you, yeah?"

Seonghwa chuckled and drank his shake, "yeah, I actually haven't had fun in such a long time-like between juggling my job as a teacher, making sure every kid is taken care of then getting off work and taking care of my own set of kids takes a toll on my own personal life you know?"

"I understand you know, I also lack time for myself and meeting you makes it feel like finding another parent in the playground also waiting for his kids to get sick of playing" Hongjoong looked at Seonghwa who was looking at the stars looking ever so peaceful that he stopped and stared for a while. They released a contented sigh. "Okay since we both got nothing to do, it is time to do my favorite hobby of all time-"

"Oh like what? Getting your ass whooped in the arcade?" Hwa just rolled his eyes at the others cockiness (more like childishness). "No and it is time to clean the house" the other grumbled and grumbled like a child.

"Come on now, I saw how dusty the living room is, you should really clean this place up" and with that he dragged the lazy male with to the living room to satisfy his urge of cleaning.

"Okay so start with these," Seonghwa grabbed the vacuum and gave it to Joong who just grumbled again but took it anyway. He instructed Hongjoong on whatever task he gave him and the other always replied with a groan or a whine but still did it anyway. It was cute and domestic just like how Seonghwa likes it. He widened his eyes as he realized but he was thinking and where he was staring at. 'The fuck you thinking about? You can't, you can't, you just can't!'

"HWA!"

"Huh?"

"I said, I just finished the whole kitchen plus the living room"

He looked everywhere; it was clean-not his level of clean-but still, clean. 'Eh, it'll do' he was too caught up in thinking again that he didn't notice Joong stride over to him and come close. It was too late, he was already face to face with the younger.

"Are you okay?"

Hongjoong came closer the flustered boy, raising his hand to reach the taller's forehead which caught him off-guard. At that moment, he didn't know if it were true. Time had slowed down, though everything happened so fast. Everything stood still, it was only he and the man in front of him.

"Are you okay?"

He draped his arm to the side and looked right through the light-user's eyes. He would be lying if he says he hadn't felt it too. The atmosphere felt light-comfortable yet romantic. It was love.

As they were finally realizing everything ringing, glowing, and shaking beat them to it. Snapped out of a trance, Seonghwa was confused; Hongjoong was scared that he knew what it was.

"Ah the movie was nice"

"Don't you mean sucking Mingi hyung's face was nice-for you?"

Yunho gasped dramatically and played along, "Also for him, excuse you, you single ass!"

San rolled his eyes and glanced at the other direction only to see another unverified couple flirting. He never felt so alone. He slumped his back and walked and walked to reach the convenience store faster and get out of this loneliness-not until he felt something warm course in his hand.

He glanced to the source of warmth and widened his eyes that it was Wooyoung who was looking everywhere but his direction. He smiled and held the other's hand tighter keeping it lowkey though he knows the other two couple behind didn't mind them at all. He slowed down and kept his slow pace so he could hold the other hand's longer.

"So..." Wooyoung broke the comfortable silence first.

"So..."

"Uh did you like the movie?" San couldn't think of any more topic to discuss with the younger. Wooyoung skipped a step and nodded, regaining his balance. San let go and wrapped his hand around his waist making him squeal internally.

It was silent after that. Only the sound of their breathing and footsteps could be heard through the pavement. It was more or less awkward but not something to be insecure about-it's actually very domestic.

"What would you like to eat?" San asked Wooyoung who was still living in his fantasy, not realizing they were already in front of the store. "Oh, uh, I'll just get what you're having" he smiled back. The latter wouldn't admit but it gave him butterflies from that single smile he received.

The moon rose above them 6 ability-users who were all seated in pairs since the convenience store only had table sets for two. Of course the tops didn't mind. Psh, they were having the time of their lives. Yungi being the lovey-dovey couple they are, Jongho making Yeosang flustered which also worked both ways, and Woosan who were sweet and subtle about everything. All of them flirting in their own ways and the others accepting and brushing off all those cheesy remarks from the others. They were all too immersed that the ring of Yunho's phone waked them up from what seems like their dreams.

"Hyung, who is it?" Jongho decided to ask, standing up to get closer, his action mirrored by the others. "It's Hongjoong hyung" they all smirked and started exchanging assumptions about what could have happened with the plan, "put it on speaker!"

Yunho answered the call snorting while answering, "Hey, Lover bo-"

"All of you come back home right. Now."
