thirty.

junmyeon watched the video in the bedroom, tears streaming down his face. he couldn't believe that after all this time, yixing still thought of him. after everything that went down that one day, yixing still loved him.

"hello, we are the owners of zyx entertainment, zhang yixing and kim jongin," jongin and yixing smiled, "we are here with buzzfeed to answer a series of questions."

"first question," yixing said, looking at the little slip, "what does it feel like to be the most successful entertainment company and the youngest as well?"

"we're very thankful that people like our idols, they work very hard for their fans," yixing said, smiling happily, rubbing his bracelet. junmyeon stared at it. it was the bracelet he got him for his birthday all those years ago.

"and we are also very grateful to the idols themselves for being responsible and making our jobs easy," jongin joked. yixing laughed quietly at that, natural charm and charisma radiating from the two owners.

"what inspired you both to create an entertainment company?" jongin read the next question. jongin pointed at yixing, who chuckled at that.

"five-ish years ago, i met our idol IU. she noticed i was looking at a certain entertainment building, which we will not disclose due to legal reasons," yixing said, jongin grinning at it, since he knew the story well, "and so she asked if i thought it was impressive. i said it was impressive if you're impressed by scandals. she laughed at that, saying that i should go ahead and start my own entertainment company. i was naive and figured she was being serious, so i took her advice to heart. five years later, here we are."

"i like that story," jongin grinned, "it's fun. many people done believe us when he tells that story. next question?"

a hand snaked into the camera view, passing yixing a slip of paper with the question. yixing looked surprised when he saw this.

"oh, this one's for me," yixing said, jongin nodding as he glanced at it over his arm, "fans and international fans have noticed that you always wear the same bracelet every day and touch it often. is it just a favorite or is there meaning behind it?

"my ex-boyfriend gave it to me for my birthday a few years back. we, uh, didn't have the money to afford such things, so it really meant a lot that he cared enough about me enough to buy me such an expensive gift. it's, uh, been my favorite ever since and i promised i'd wear it every day and i will. i rub it when i'm nervous, it makes me think of when we were dating and it calms me down," yixing said, subconsciously rubbing the bracelet. junmyeon sobbed into his stuffed animals.

"i- i didn't know," jongin said, surprised, "the one- the one that left?"

"yeah, the one that got away," yixing nodded, clearing his throat, "next question, please."

a slip of paper was handed to jongin. he read it carefully.

"have either of you ever been in love?" jongin read aloud, eyes widening slightly, "no, i haven't. i haven't really had enough time to establish a relationship."

"yeah, i was in love with the bracelet boyfriend," yixing nodded, fixing his beanie on top of his hair. junmyeon sobbed louder, covering his mouth.

"how long were you together?" the cameraman asked.

"oh, just a little over two months. doesn't sound very serious, i know, and i guess it wasn't to him because he just suddenly left one day," yixing said, "it was a messy breakup. but it was serious to me. it was one of those cliché love at first sight type of thing, i had admired him for two months before i had the courage to ask him out. he was actually one of the reasons i figured it would work out with the company. he believed in me. up until he didn't, i guess."
