"What do you mean pluto's not a planet anymore?" Youngjae asked as Yugyeom and Bambam were asking the older boys to review them.

Youngjae looked utterly upset about Yugyeom saying that Pluto is no longer a planet so the other three began to panic. God knows what Im Jaebum would do to them if he arrives and Youngjae still has that look on his face.

"Yugyeom! What nonsense are you talking about, of course Pluto is still a planet." Jackson said while giving Yugyeom a look. The maknae wasn't buying it though.

"Hyung sto-" He was cut off by Mark asking him to buy ramyeon for them.

As the maknae stood up and went outside, Youngjae was still wondering if Pluto really isn't a planet anymore.

"Pluto worked so hard to still be a planet though." He said while looking down. The boys felt bad for him too but they couldn't do anything about it, its not like they could just tell NASA to make Pluto a planet again.

Jinyoung looked at the clouds outside and it looked dark even though it was sunny earlier. He nudged the other 3 except Youngjae and pointed outside. They smiled at Jinyoung and rolled their eyes at his stupid theory.

Jinyoung told the boys about his theory named "The Youngjae Effect". He could still remember their reactions when Jinyoung told them about it the other day while waiting for Jaebum and Youngjae to arrive at his and Jaebum's dorm.

It was full of "did you take your meds, park jinyoung?" and "is this what that beating did to you? it shook your brain hyung?"

He doesn't actually think its real but it was too coincidental. The Youngjae Effect is how Youngjae can turn the weather and everybody's moods upside down. When he's sad, everyone's sad and when he's happy, everyone's happy along with the weather.

Sometimes the weather isn't accurate but sometimes it is.

"Okay, let's say the youngjae effect is true. How do you switch him to a happy mode when he's sad?" Jackson asked when he told them about it.

"The best way to do it is to make Jaebum appear before him." He told his friend.

As they were still trying to cheer Youngjae up about the pluto thing, Jaebum was running to his and Jinyoung's dorm all wet from the rain.

Youngjae's face turned from a sad on into a worried one.

"Hyung what happened to you?" The younger one said while running to meet the older one who's dripping wet. Jaebum didn't like it when Youngjae was sad, no one likes it but he's the most worried one.

So he did something that would make Youngjae laugh, it would irritate him but it would still make him laugh.

He hugged the younger one so tight and started sticking his hair to other's which made him wet as well. Youngjae was shocked, specially because it felt strange all of a sudden to be hugged by his hyung.

The pair ended up laughing about it as the other ones who are on the sofa gave the two weird looks for laughing about being wet.

"Who told you guys that it's okay to be wet here? Go take a shower!" Jinyoung scolded the two because he felt like he was about to gag because of how cheesy the scene was.

"Together?" Jaebum asked while smirking. Youngjae just looked at him with wide eyes along with the other boys.

"Ewwww" Yugyeom said as he approached the two because they were blocking the door.

"Youngjae doesn't need a shower, he just needs to change clothes!" Jinyoung said as he pulled the younger one off of Jaebum and pushed the older one to the shower.

"Can we sleep here, hyung?" Bambam suggested while trying not to fall asleep on Jackson's shoulder. Jinyoung smiled at the younger one because he looked funny and cute at the same time.

He muttered a small "Sure" and pushed Youngjae to his room so he could borrow Jinyoung's clothes.

"You guys are a lot of work." He said to the 4 boys sitting on his sofa while grabbing his books and putting them on the shelf.

"That's why you can't die, we'll protect you from everything." Jackson said while focusing on texting someone.

"Everything? So you're saying that if Mark and I both drown, you'd save me?" Jinyoung curiously asked. Mark was also curious so he looked at the younger one.

"I'd probably die first though. And Mark can swim so he could save you since you can't swim for shit." He answered while grabbing a beer that Yugyeom bought. Because of his movement, Bambam's head dropped from the older one's shoulder.

"Ow hyung!" Bambam yelled while hitting his hyung's back. Yugyeom pulled his head and placed it on his shoulder instead while saying "Sleep here so I have an excuse not to move."

Youngjae emerged from Jinyoung's room at the same time Jaebum came out of the bathroom.

Youngjae looked pale, it was like he saw a ghost in Jinyoung's room.

He did see one though, a ghost of Jinyoung's past and not a real one. He knew it was weird how Jinyoung's always helping him but he actually wasn't. Jinyoung was helping Jaebum.

His head couldn't erase the picture of Jackson's text to Jinyoung that said:

"What's with you? Do you still have feelings for Jaebum hyung?"

He looked at Jaebum who was on his way to his bedroom and wondered why he was hurt again.

"Jinyoung-ah, can I borrow your charger?" Mark asked. Jinyoung went to his room to get his charger along with his phone and saw Jackson's text.

Jinyoung looked serious as he went outside and smacked him with a pillow. The others were confused but shrugged it off.

Youngjae started to wonder how serious Jinyoung's feelings are. If something happened before between the two of them. If Jaebum likes Jinyoung. If Jaebum would pick him over Jinyoung.

He's not dumb, he knows that the case is different when it comes to his Jaebum hyung. He has stronger feelings for him compared to the other boys.

He just couldn't point it out. He was too scared to face his own feelings. That's why he was convincing himself that it was nothing. Everyday it gets harder though, the feelings get deeper and he knows it. But Youngjae's always been a coward, he doesn't like taking risks.

He was too focused on thinking about these things that he didn't notice a tear falling from his eye.

"Aww Youngjae hyung, are you still upset about the pluto thing? It's still a planet if you want it to be." The youngest one told him while reaching to pat his back but can't because of the boy sleeping on his shoulder.

"What pluto thing?" Jaebum curiously asked.

As the boys told him about it, Youngjae wasn't listening AT ALL. He was thinking of the things Jinyoung has done for him and that he's done nothing for the older one.

So he decided to step back and let Jinyoung have Jaebum. "Jaebum hyung deserves someone who's sure about his feelings and not someone who's too afraid to face his own." He thought to himself and tried to smile at his friends.

Jaebum knows it was fake though, because it didn't blind him. Youngjae's smile always blinds him like a sunshine.
