At first, he didn't remember much, just that they all went to a karaoke room and met Jinki last night. But slowly, he began to remember how much he drank, and honestly he blames Taemin. Jonghyun found his phone and his eyes stung as he looked for the time, it was already noon. He took a deep breath and forced himself out of bed, surprised he had actually changed into pajamas last night. A long sigh came out as he shuffled across his room, he really shouldn't let himself drink that much, he didn't like the temporary memory gaps.

Jonghyun paused as he opened the door, did he smell food? He looked into the kitchen and the night came flooding back to him, but his heart swelled at the sight.

"Good morning, how are you feeling?" Minho asked as he looked over from the stove.

"Uh, well, as good as you can feel with a hangover" Jonghyun laughed a little as he got closer.

"This soup will hopefully help, I've never made it before and had to substitute some stuff, but it smells good" He smiled down at the soup and Jonghyun could feel his heart skip a beat.

"Thank you, for this and for last night" Jonghyun leaned on the counter as he watched Minho cook.

"I care about you, this is the least I can do" Minho's voice was full of sincerity.

And for what must've been the 100th time, Jonghyun swore Minho was perfect.

"Are you off today too?" Minho had begun ladling the soup into a bowl as Jonghyun asked.

"Yeah, I just have to make a few calls, and can you give me Kibum's number?" The question came as a surprise to him.

"Sure, did he not give it to you last night?" Jonghyun took out his phone as the soup was placed in front of him.

"I forgot to ask, thank you" Minho had his phone out now too as he registered Kibum in his phone.

"No problem, make sure to text him so he knows it's you" Jonghyun suggested and Minho nodded.

"I will, do you mind if I step out to make a call?" Jonghyun shook his head and they smiled at each other, "I'll be right back then, enjoy the soup"

Minho walked around the counter, planting a quick kiss to Jonghyun's cheek before making his way out of the apartment. Jonghyun couldn't wipe the smile off his face, turning to watch Minho walk out the door, his sweet smile making Jonghyun's heart beat a little faster. He turned back to his phone, deciding he should probably also text Kibum as well.

Jonghyun: I gave Minho you're number, hope you don't mind

Jonghyun: Did you two get home safe?

Kibum: In what world would I mind a rich hottie having my number? And yeah, Taemin is still passed out

Jonghyun: You better not steal him from me hehe

Kibum: I'd never do that to you, and wait, are you with him right now?

Jonghyun: He just stepped out to make a phone call, he stayed and made sure I was taken care of

Kibum: Since he has my number, tell him to call me when he gets back

Jonghyun: Sure, is everything alright?

Kibum: Yeah, I just have some questions for him

Jonghyun: Okay, I'll tell him

He set down his phone, finally deciding to try a bit of the soup that had been slowly cooling off in front of him. It was good, despite being for hangovers, and something about the fact Minho made it just for him made it taste even better. Jonghyun was about halfway done when he heard the door open, and he turned to see a smiling Minho.

"How is it?" He asked as he carefully shut the door.

"It's really good, thank you" Jonghyun answered, getting a spoon full, "Do you want to try it?"

It didn't take long for Minho to get to Jonghyun's side, letting the older feed him the soup.

He hummed happily, "Better than I thought it'd be" Minho smiled and Jonghyun returned it.

"Oh, Kibum wants you to call him, said he had some questions" Jonghyun watched the CEO nod in understanding.

"Should I call now? I was going to wait another hour" Jonghyun's face turned confused.

"He didn't say when, you were already planning to?" He asked and Minho nodded.

"I thought he'd want to know about his upcoming job interview" Minho took his phone out of his pocket as Jonghyun chuckled.

"You're the sweetest, thank you for this" Jonghyun was gazing lovingly at him by now, but he didn't care if the younger noticed.

"He said he was interested in fashion last night, and we always need more employees, I don't mind" Minho smiled at Jonghyun, "Do I need to step out?"

"It's up to you, baby" Jonghyun saw the light blush on Minho's face from his words.

"It's just Kibum, I'll stay" Minho announced as he dialed the number, holding his phone to his ear.

Jonghyun took a few more gulps of soup before he heard Kibum answer.

"Hey, did you two make it home safe?" Minho began, his hand subconsciously rubbing Jonghyun's back now, "Okay, but first I just want to let you know, you have an interview at the SHINe boutique by Coffee's Ace Base at 2pm tomorrow"

The couple giggled at how loud Kibum yelled into the phone.

"And you may have a very very high chance of getting the job.... No need to thank me, I'm doing what any friend would, now what did you need to ask me?" Jonghyun turned to smile at Minho, falling in love just a little more, "Yes I am" Minho's eyes met his, although they were confused, "I can step out"

Jonghyun was confused now too, but Minho just shrugged, mouthing and 'I'm sorry' to Jonghyun before leaving the apartment again.
