"SEO CHANGBIN! GET THE HELL HERE. GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE."

"Nah, you weren't going to share the pictures."

"THAT'S A SECRET."

Kim AiXun felt his eyes twitched in annoyance, wanting to hide in peace and enjoy his coffee. It was a month later when all seven of them lived under the same roof and chaos was all that happened in the penthouse.

"What's so good about the picture?" SeungMin called out, "share it with us."

"He kept a picture of AiXun, naked."

AiXun rolled his eyes, sipping his coffee as he leaned back onto the chair. Jisung must've took it the day he found the shorter sneaking into the bathroom while he was in the shower.

"How did you even get the picture?" Bang Chan furrowed his eyebrow in confusion.

"I... I sneaked into the bathroom the other day." Jisung bashfully admitted and stopped chasing Changbin around in defeat. Now, that everyone knew about the picture, it's not a secret anymore.

"Hyung, look at him." ChangBi exaggerated as he waved the phone around exposing the picture.

AiXun admitted he did looked good in the picture but wondered how did he even manage to do so. In the picture, he was in the midst of shampooing his hair, his eyes squinted as he looked at the direction of the camera.

"ChangBin Hyung, send it to me." HyunJin said.

"Me too." I.N chimed.

Lee Know sighed, shaking his head at the four of them, "seriously, why do you guys want a picture of him?"

"Masturbate." Jisung proudly smiled as he took a seat, not beside AiXun but, on AiXun. Everyone jeered at him, "come on. I haven't been to the club for so long and I don't have a boyfriend. AiXun is my only hope."

"You make it sound as if he is a prostitute." Bang Chan rolled his eyes.

"He's my prostitute." Jisung added.

"NOT FAIR!" Simultaneously, HyunJin and I.N stood from their chair.

"Ai, choose. Jisung Hyung, HyunJin Hyung or me?" I.N asked.

ChangBin offended dramatically, "why am I not included?"

"cause you don't love him that much." HyunJin stuck out his tongue.

AiXun chuckled silently as ChangBin gave him a finger. He made Jisung get off his lap before standing up. He put his empty mug into the sink, walking out of the kitchen and into the living room. Just another day in the penthouse with the four of them having a jealousy bicker.

"Chocolate?" Bang Chan offered as he sat beside the younger.

"Thanks."

AiXun knew, he just knew that Bang Chan was going to talk to him in regards of his plan.

"AiXun, about t--,"

AiXun cut him off, "I told you not to get involve in it."

"Can't help it, you know." Bang Chan chuckled, "I can't help but worry for my youngest here."

"You sound like a dad."

"Oh don't s--," on cue, Lee Know came to them and sat beside him. "I told you. He's hearing is sensitive when it comes to that word."

"I heard you saying 'dad'. Now, my child, your mom is here. What seems to bother you?" Lee Know cooed.

AiXun let out a heartily laugh looking at the two of them. For a month, they made a progress and came up with a family tree. Bang Chan was his dad, Lee Know was his Mom, SeungMin was his stepdad and AiXun happen to be a adopted child whose is constantly stuck in between four of his step brothers.

"I was just talking to him." Bang Chan said.

"The plan?" Lee Know asked.

AiXun felt the guilt arose in him looking at how Lee Know's expression changes from a smiling mother to a frowning mother,

"We agreed not to talk about it anymore." AiXun said, munching on the white chocolate bar that Bang Chan had offered him.

"We did but, I've been getting dreams about you sneakily commencing the plan behind our back," Bang Chan admitted.

Lee Know added, "besides, you promised. Ai, tell us the truth, please. You don't have any intention of doing the plan, right?"

AiXun sighed, "No."

If you wondered what was this 'plan' they have been talking about, it's about AiXun wanting to confront his family and practically giving them a chance to get his inheritance money. The 8 of them had sat down once and they concluded that it was best to just ignore AiXun's family and lived in peace as they are now. AiXun on the other hand had another thing in mind, he wanted to confront his family and give them the inheritance money so that he could meet YongBok again and let him free. He wanted everyone to be free and not coped inside the penthouse having to worry for their safety whenever they go outside just because they befriended AiXun.

"If it's about YongBok, then just wait a couple more months until your family finally give up on sending hitman over." Lee Know suggested.

Aixun sighed, again. He didn't have a couple more months. God knows what his family could do to YongBok within the time frame.

"I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap." AiXun mumbled as he got up, climbing the stairs and into the room.

Knock Knock Knock Knock [Back Door Knocking]

AiXun was just sitting on the balcony, smoking when the knock to his door was heard. He knew who it was because the only person that ever knocked to his room was none other than ChangBin. No one else seems to knock, they just enter the room freely, something AiXun wasn't bothered to even tell them to give him some alone time.

"It's my day today." ChangBin smiled.

Unlike the three others who had shown their love for AiXun, ChangBin was different. He doesn't confess in a literal way and the only reason AiXun knew he had a crush on him was because Jisung told him. AiXun had met ChangBin in a nightclub after being forced to come by Lee Know. At first, AiXun thought ChangBin was just a noisy and rowdy person judging from the way he got drunk and danced on top of a table. They even got kicked out of the club because of that. Lee Know then left him to babysit a very drunk ChangBin. It was awkward because he didn't know where he lived so AiXun brought him over back to the apartment that Lee Know had rented for him. It suck to be honest because not only did ChangBin threw up all over his jacket but, today happened to be the first day he got released from the juvenile and he already hated the world.

ChangBin, still drunk out of his mind, pinned AiXun down on the bed and kissed him. He confessed that AiXun had a really great body and was really hot. AiXun thought it was cute because right after they kissed and Changbin spending the next five minutes complimented him, ChangBin fell on top of him and slept. The next morning, he was a blushing mess after waking up beside a shirtless AiXun. He immediately apologized to the younger. AiXun simply nodded to him and casually prepared breakfast for the two.

"I.. I..." Changbin stuttered, "Lee Know Hyung mentioned that you are not able to speak so ermmm if you want to me speak," he stumbled over his words, "I mean to interact with me, I know sign language."

AiXun took out his phone, typing something in his notes, 'can I trust you? How long have you know Lee Know Hyung?'

"Yes. You can trust me, I promise you that. Lee Know Hyung and I have known each other since we were 12 year old." Changbin answered and so, AiXun took the risk.

For the first time in forever, he spoke to the other, "I can talk. I have a voice and just for today, I'll make it special. You'll be the first ever person I spoke considering that I've only been released from the juvenile less than 24 hours ago."

Changbin had a nosebleed.
