"Hyung," Woojin called out upon seeing the pizzeria's owner talking to a group of people. "Oh? Woojinie," His brother said as the group walked towards him.

"Ah oh, hyung, this is Jisung. And this is Felix, Changbin's boyfriend." Felix immediately snapped his head towards Woojin. "I'm not Changbin's boyfriend!" Felix snapped.

"You're lucky you're mine." Changbin said smirking. "I am not yours!" Felix gritted his teeth.

The door flew open revealing Seungmin and Hyunjin. "Hey hyung, oh Mr. Kim, it's nice to have you back here." Seungmin bowed politely. "This is Hyunjin, my boyfriend."

Mr. Kim laughed and ruffled Seungmin's hair. "You have grown Seungmin-ah. It's nice to meet you, Hyunjin-ah." Hyunjin bowed and smiled at the dark haired male.

"I am Kim Jinwoo, I am the owner of this pizzeria and here with me are the applicants for a full time job here in Cute Kitten's." Jinwoo explained. "Finally, you listened to me." Woojin said as he rested his forearm onto his hyung's shoulder.

"Only 7 applicants?" Changbin asked as he looked at each applicants. "Yeah, this is just a small pizzeria, I don't need lots of employees." Jinwoo said.

"Luckily, all of these applicants passed and they will start first thing in the morning." Jinwoo said as he piled up all the forms and placed it on a table. "It's nice meeting you all. Don't forget tomorrow is going to be your first day, give me a good impression. You may now go." The applicants bowed in unison as they bid their farewells.

As the applicants made their way out of the door, Minho and Chan appeared.

"What's with all the customers leaving all at once?" Minho asked.

"Hyungie!" Jisung squealed and ran towards Minho. Jisung hugged Minho and Minho returned the hug.

"They are applicants for a full time job here."  Jinwoo said. Minho nodded as he pulled back from the hug. Jinwoo eyed Chan waved at him. Chan did the same and went to Woojin giving him a peck on the cheeks.  "Sorry we took long. Our proffesor took so long to discuss about the schedule next week." Chan explained. "It's okay, we just got here anyway." Woojin said.

"Oh hey Changbin and..?" Chan greeted. "Felix," Felix waved hi. "Felix here is an Australian like you hyung but he sucks in Korean." Changbin teased earning a death glare from Felix.

Chan laughed. "Yeah I am." Felix shyly said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "B-But I a-am l-learning!" Felix stuttered. "No need to be shy ey mate. It's good to have another Australian in the group." Chan said earning a smile from Felix.

"Where is little Jeonginie?" Minho asked. "He's sick and didn't go to school," Jisung said pouting as he played with Minho's shirt. Minho ruffled the younger's hair knowing that he likes it when he rubs his hand against the squirrel boy's hair. Jisung indeed likes it and rested his head against Minho's shoulders, Minho patted Jisung's head lightly and continued rubbing his head.

"Aww, our little baby innie is sick? Chan we have to go and take care of our baby," Woojin said dragging Chan.

"Well, I think we have to go," Chan smiled. "Bye Jinwoo hyung! See you later!" Woojin said waving his free hand while the other holding Chan's forearm. "Hyung, can we come?" Hyunjin said. "Of course you have to, you live with me," Chan yelled, now standing near the front door.

"Correction! You! Live with me, it's my house," Hyunjin yelled back. "How am I suppose to go home? You dragged me into this," Felix asked.

Chan stopped in his tracks making Woojin flop back hitting himself against Chan's metal like body. "Changbin will drive you home," Chan said. Changbin who was zoning out flashed his head towards Chan. "What?! Why me?"

"Just drive him home." Chan said as he threw his keys towards Changbin in which Changbin immediately caught. "Fine, let's go Lix." Changbin mumbled as he held Felix's wrist and dragged him first outside.

"Minho, you need a ride?" Woojin asked.

"No thanks, it's better to walk with Jisungie." Minho said still his hands onto Jisung's head. Jisung grinned and nodded cutely.

Woojin smiled. "Okay, Jinwoo hyung we'll go now, see you soon!" Woojin waved at his hyung.

"Sure." Jinwoo waved back.

~~~

"Hyung," Jisung whispered as he fiddled the hem of his uniform with his free hand and the other clenching against his bag. They finally arrived at the porch of Jisung's house.

You should tell him.

You should.

Jisung took a deep breath. "Hyungie," said this time a little louder. Minho stopped as he unlocked the front door.

"What?" Minho asked confused.

You can tell hyungie right? A little voice inside Jisung's mind asked. "Yeah," Jisung whispered. "Hmm?" Minho hummed. Jisung snapped his head then quickly shook his head. "N-nothing hyung,"

"Just tell me Jisung" Minho said. Jisung bit his lower lip unsure of what to do.

Just tell him, what's so wrong about it?

It's complicated, leave Jisung alone.

Hey I am part of Jisung's imagination.

Just shut up. He's probably too scared

What's to be scared about? It's just Minho.

Hey! This isn't some kind of joke to him. It's super important.

Jisung squinted his eyes shut. Those two voices keep on competing, making Jisung confused and can't decide well.

"Jisung?" Minho called out to the younger. "Oh? Oh.." Jisung said as his eyes wandered everywhere but Minho. Minho noticed it and cupped Jisung's cheeks.

"Hey," Minho trailed. "Look at me," He whispered. "What is it?" He asked.

Jisung sighed deeply.

This is it.

Everything turned in slow motion when Jisung shut his eyes tightly as he leaned closer, his lips touching Minho's, giving him a quick peck.

"I'm like hyungie." Jisung breathed out and hurriedly ran inside without giving Minho a chance to respond.
