Night had fallen and the duo bid Juyeon goodbye. "Don't get too wild out there." Juyeon quickly closed his door before Younghoon could snap his neck. "You have an interesting best friend." "I'm glad you think so." They exited the hall then walk a little ways off and sat on the grass. "I remember when you first brought me here. I was really in awe. Never saw such a pretty sight." Younghoon hummed in response then lied back on the grass. "Do you still not believe in love?" "Nah...I don't really mind it I guess."

Younghoon thought about Changmin's question then decided to give him an answer. "The question you asked." "I asked a lot." "About the kiss." "Go on." Younghoon paused and double checked with himself that this was the answer he wanted to give. "It...wasn't. It was an accident though." Changmin started laughing then rested his head on Younghoon's chest. "The way you did it seemed intentional." "Believe what you will."

Younghoon gently stroked Changmin's hair then heard him call his name. "Yeah?" "Kiss me." "P-Pardon?" He watched Changmin hover over him then kiss his cheek. Younghoon eyed Changmin as he lifted back up and looked directly into his eyes. "You've become more attractive and it's unsettling to me." "Uh, thank you...?" Younghoon was still in awe of the kiss that had just taken place. "Well...Would you look at the time." "It's only a little after 10:30pm, Younghoon. Just relax." Relaxing was the last thing on Younghoon's mind. Changmin rested his head back onto his chest then hummed a song.

Younghoon was helping a female classmate with the material they went over then felt someone staring daggers at him. "This is creepy..." "Younghoon?" "Huh? Oh, right." He continued to help her and couldn't help but smile whenever she did. "Now it makes sense. It never seems to make sense when teachers explain it, you know?" "I get what you mean. If you need anything, you know where I am." She cutely giggled then walked away over to her friends. Just as he got up from his seat, Chanhee had bounced over to him. "Chanhee. I thought you had somewhere to be?" "Not anymore, so I have time for you." "I would love to hang out with you, but I already have plans with Changmin. Maybe another time."

He felt Chanhee cling to his arm then look at him with a pout. "Come on, we haven't hung out in forever. You're always with Juyeon or Changmin..." Younghoon felt a bit guilty as it was the truth, but things between them were slightly rocky. "I promise I'll hang out with you. Just let me know ahead of time." He felt Chanhee let go then patted his head. "I'll see you later." Younghoon made his way to the classroom door and felt the same daggered stare.

"Quick, 2 or 3?" "3?" Changmin pinched Younghoon's cheek then began laughing. "I'm not understanding." Changmin continued to stretch as they walked off campus. "You basically chose an action at random without knowing the consequence." "Then what was 2?" "Oh, nothing special..." Younghoon noticed the glint in Changmin's eyes and feared for what could've happened. "So, are you sure you want to help me out?" "Indeed I am. Lead the way." Younghoon followed Changmin as he walked home.

Younghoon stepped inside and was surprised by the smell. "What happened in here...?" They walked further in and Younghoon was surprised by the sight. Things were broken, torn, burnt, you name it. "So, I'll ask once more. Do you really want to help?" "Of course. I can't just leave you to do it all alone." Changmin grinned then pulled out cleaning necessities from his bag.

"If your house is like this, where are you two staying?" "At a friend's." They began picking things up and dusting off objects while remaining silent. "I want to experience love." Younghoon had stopped mid-way in picking up a disoriented throw pillow. "What do I say in this situation? I don't want to push him away, but I don't just want to out myself..." he thought as he had a heated debate with himself. "Younghoon?" "Huh?" "I said, I'd like to try it with you." Younghoon had dropped the pillow which sent feathers flying up in the air.
