    "So, Felix tell me, how has being married been so far?"

   Both Hyunjin and Felix looked down.

   Minho hummed and put his fork down.

    "I see... Obviously it being an arranged marriage makes things different and there is a strain." Minho stated.

  No one said anything.

   "I didn't just come to visit you because I am back from a case and I wanted to see you. I can get you two out of it, the companies would still be merged, but you two would not legally speaking be connected. However, it is your decisions." Minho told them.

   Felix's eyes widened hearing that, Hyunjin on the other hand felt a pit in his stomach.

   Jisung might have felt some pride.

   "Like I said you don't have to make any decisions, just yet..."

   Felix sucked in a sharp breath, and glanced at Hyunjin.

  "I think that we...we should give it time." Felix said.

  Hyunjin didn't chime in, but he felt the pit in his stomach disappear slightly.

  "Okay."

     Felix looked at his phone, his body tensing.

   "I have to take this call." He muttered, standing and going elsewhere.

    "Okay, you two. I know plenty about both of you, I can get plenty more information on both of you with my connections." Minho stated.

   Jisung opened his mouth to speak, "I have not asked you any questions, please stay quiet." Minho said.

  Jisung closed his mouth and pressed his lips together.

  "Jisung, the sweet words, the gifts of wine, and the many more things you have done, I'm not sure if you are just being nice or you are trying to get with him, either way it won't happen, arranged or not, he would not be unfaithful. As for you," Minho said directing his attention to Hyunjin.

   "I don't know what you are thinking. Telling him that it is merely a business deal and then becoming querulous and jealous when he doesn't pay attention to you, well frankly is the behaviour I'd expect from a 6 year old.

   Obviously there are stark differences in the way you and Felix grew up, you grew to take over your family company, Felix grew up to be a pawn in our father's downright shitty game. Basically in our father's eyes Felix means nothing.

  Now, Felix wants to try with this marriage, you make him feel like nothing, you will have issues with me and I don't play nice, especially when it comes to Felix. Do we understand each other?" Minho asked.

  Hyunjin and Jisung both nodded.

   "Good."

    Felix came back his demeanour seemingly different.

   "Sorry, uhm, I.." Felix closed his eyes and sighed.

  "Min, It was good seeing you, but uhm I am tired and uh I think I am just going to head to bed now..." Felix mumbled and quickly left.

  Minho's brows drew together.

  "Is he okay..?" Jisung questioned.

  "I'm not sure… but I don't think that he wants to talk about it at the moment. I will call to make sure he is okay later." Minho stated.

   "Are you leaving?" Jisung asked.

  "I have to. I would stay but I have a two year old waiting at home for me." Minho said.

   "You have a child?" Hyunjin questioned.

  "Don't sound so surprised."

  Hyunjin shook his head. "No, I just didn't think you would be one for children."

  "Children are much easier than adults." Minho stated.

  Hyunjin hummed.

  -

  Felix sighed as he enter his room that wasn't something he wanted to deal with, not when his brother had just gotten home.

   His father had called to talk about something in regards to the businesses and how he needed to smile more, which brought his whole mood down.

   His head tilted curiously seeing a small box on his bed.

    Picking up the box he read the label, "Yang Jewelry... Maybe it's from Jisung..."

   Opening it he smiled softly. A necklace with a small strawberry charm sat perfect in the box. Only when he sat down on his bed did he see a card with the same label on it.

  Picking it up his eyes widened.

   Please just call me Hyunjin.

   Looking back at the necklace, he smiled a little more.

    Maybe, this marriage can mean something more...
