"Earth to Younghoon!" He snapped out of his daze then looked at Changmin. "What's wrong? You've been so out of it ever since you talked to your mom. What happened?" "She just scolded me for nothing coming earlier. That's all." Changmin could tell that there was more to it than that, but he decided not to push it. "Here." Younghoon looked and saw Changmin was holding up food for him to eat. "Just put it there. I can eat it myself. Changmin frowned, but did as Younghoon asked.

"Daddy..." "Yes?" "Are we going to go anywhere fun?" "Of course. Just not today." She pouted then crossed her arms. "I promise we'll go somewhere fun tomorrow, okay?" "Okay..." "Do you mind going to play with grandma? I have something important to discuss with Changmin. She nodded then ran off. "Are you going to tell me now?" "No, I just don't want to deal with her right now..." Changmin could see whatever his mom told him is clearly bothering him. He placed his hand on top of Younghoon's then was surprised to see him draw back. "Fine, don't tell me. Suffer alone." He hoped acting this way would get Younghoon to tell him, but Younghoon didn't even bat an eyelash.

"What's 2 plus 3?" "5!" Changmin smiled softly as Yeoeun wiggled around in delight. "Oh, daddy!" Changmin's smile faltered as Yeoeun ran to her father. "Ch-" Changmin stood up then walked past them. "Wait." Younghoon grabbed his arm and held him back. "Can we talk...?" "Sure."

Younghoon closed the door behind him as he had gotten Yeoeun settled in another room. "I know you were just worried about me. I'm sorry for pushing you away." "It's my fault too. I was being pushy..." Younghoon sighed while running a hand through his hair. "My mom...she's against homosexuality. I don't know why. She was always accepting of things. I'm just worried about what if I do fall for a guy and we make each other happy...?" "What did she say...?" "She said she'd have me taken out of the will and banned from ever coming home."

Changmin felt his heart sink into his stomach. He knew his feelings for Younghoon had steadily been growing these past days. After hearing what his mother would do, he felt pursuing him would end in heartache for both of them. "Changmin?" "Huh?" "I asked what should I do? I don't want to be removed from the will and banned, but I want to be able to choose who I love..." "It's going to sound very cliché, but just follow your heart. As long as you believe in your choice, you'll never regret it." Younghoon smiled then lied back on the floor. "That's true."

He closed the door quietly as he had just put Yeoeun to sleep. "Ah!" Younghoon looked away as Changmin looked at him in confusion. "Oh, I see..." Changmin walked over to him and was amused by Younghoon's flustered state. "Could you finish drying off and put on some clothes...?" "Why? It's not like I have anything you haven't seen." Changmin decided to be daring and wrap his arms around Younghoon's neck. That resulted in Younghoon stumbling back in a panic and looking up at Changmin from the floor. Neither said a word as they stared into each other's eyes.

"Younghoon..." "Y-Yes...?" "Why do your eyes sparkle every time I look into them?" "I could ask you the same thing..." Younghoon subconsciously reached up and moved a few wet strands of Changmin's hair. He never understood why his heart raced whenever Changmin came to mind nor when he was present. Everything seemed to glow whenever he smiled. The sound of the door opening brought them back to their senses and Changmin hurried to get off of Younghoon. "Oh, did I interrupt anything?" Younghoon pretended to have just made the bed while Changmin had quickly thrown on some sweats from Younghoon's bag.

"Not at all. Just prepping for bed. You should too." "Just making sure you didn't need anything." She closed the door and Younghoon felt himself collapse to the floor. It was like they were defusing a time bomb. "Crisis averted." Changmin lightly chuckled then climbed into bed. "Guess I'll be on the floor then." After a bit of bickering, Younghoon ended up in the same bed with Changmin.
