"On the count of ten, I expect you to be here to tidy up your mess. Ten...Nine...Eight...Seven...Six-"

Hyunjo hurried up the stairs to the third floor and ran straight into his playroom which used to be the empty room after hearing Beomgyu's thundering voice from the stairs. He wasted no time and started picking the toys Beomgyu had bought him and placed them back into their containers and drawers. Hyunjo felt completely intimidated under Beomgyu's fierce gaze.

Taehyun stood by the entrance, and just like the small boy, he felt intimidated. He never expected Beomgyu to be this strict and demanding. When it came to disciplining, the raven haired was merciless. Otherwise, Beomgyu was fun and would spoil Hyungjo a lot. The couple had once discussed about their ideas and thoughts on parenting. Beomgyu liked to keep it balanced. He told Taehyun that they should know when to hold their grounds as adults and when to let loose. And this exact moment was one instance in which they needed to be strict, in order to nurture good habits in Hyunjo, and so he wouldn't turn into a spoiled child with horrible manners. Taehyun had found that quite ironic, based on how Beomgyu once treated him but he never mentioned about it. He knew Beomgyu was just being immature and it was all an act in an attempt to get rid of him.

"Well done Hyungjo" Beomgyu's previously crossed arms were now pulling the boy into a hug. He pat his head softly, "always remember to tidy up after yourself, okay?"

Hyungjo nodded and hugged back tightly. He was scared of him but at the same time, he held admiration for him. Beomgyu was a cool, interactive and loving hyung who excelled in video games and was extremely smart in studies. He was a perfect role model in Hyungjo's eyes. And Taehyun could see the sparkles in his eyes whenever Beomgyu called for him. Taehyun was definitely not jealous. He couldn't be. What could he be jealous of?

The silver haired male found himself sitting in his best friend's living room and drinking grape juice. He had told his fiance that he was going to hang out with Hueningkai for the evening and Beomgyu had easily let him go, saying that he and Hyungjo would be fine on their own.

"You know I'm genuinely happy that you guys got together?" Hueningkai smiled as he poured more grape juice into Taehyun's cup. "Almost two months, right?"

"Yeah" Taehyun looked down at his cup of juice.

"Like gosh, you don't know how happy I am for you guys. I'm still not getting over it" Hueningkai beamed. He had always supported Taehyun and Beomgyu, despite knowing that they wouldn't have much time to spend together since Beomgyu's time is limited.

"You sound like some fangirl" Taehyun rolled his eyes and drank his juice.

"Your story sounds like a fairytale."

"Fairytale? Which part of it?" Taehyun scoffed at that.

"Engaged, used to hate each other, fell in love and happily ever after."

They both knew it wasn't going to be a happily ever after but they weren't aware that both of them knew.

"Yeah right."
