Accidental Rental

5 Magazines

"Oppa, what is it about my brother that you like anyways?"

Minhyun raised his brows as he looked at the younger sister who was peeling a tangerine as they sat in the living room together the following day. Baekho was out with his mother to purchase food for dinner.

"Well, he's an honest guy. He's not afraid to say what's on his mind."

"Which makes him utterly insensitive," she scoffed and popped a tangerine into her mouth. Minhyun smiled and handed her a tissue.

"But he's also caring in his own way. He literally rushed over to my house after I told him that you were there."

She sighed and leaned her head on her elbow. "I guess so."

"And I like how shy he gets sometimes but also..."

"Have you two already done it?"

Minhyun froze and looked at the mischievous smile on her lips. He chuckled and nodded. "Not quite all the way."

"Why not? Is my brother wussing out?"

"N-no. I'm afraid I might hurt him," Minhyun replied her and sipped the cup of tea.

"Hmm... Ugh. Why does my brother get a gentleman like you?" she huffed and Minhyun smiled.

"I'm not really a gentleman. If I was..." Baekho wouldn't have gotten hurt before this.

"Hey. I know where his porn stash is. You want to take a look?" she distracted him and Minhyun laughed.

"As long as I don't get blamed for it."

"Come on!"

The two got up and headed into Baekho's room where he had slept last night. The mattresses arranged to one side neatly. Naeun sprawled herself onto the floor and reached beside the drawer in Baekho's room before pulling out a couple of books and CDs.

"There we go."

Minhyun picked them up, purely curious about Baekho's tastes. He was rather surprised to see females on the magazine covers even though he knew he shouldn't. He flipped through them quietly as Naeun did the same with another.

"I didn't even think he was into guys. I guess he didn't know it himself," Naeun said while noticing the sudden distant look in Minhyun's eyes. Minhyun shut the book and nodded, telling himself not to get affected by it.

"We are home!"

"Where are they?"

"Shoot." Naeun took the magazines and stuffed it back where she took them right before the door opened. Minhyun turned to find Baekho looking at them with a confused look.

"What are you guys doing in here?" he asked.

"Nothing!" Naeun squeaked and rushed out from the room. Baekho turned to Minhyun who shrugged and got up.

"Nothing really?" Baekho asked and Minhyun smiled.

"Nothing concerning," Minhyun replied.

But that didn't seem to comfort Baekho as he had fallen silent throughout dinner. Naeun exchanged glances with Minhyun who also ate silently. Somehow it felt like they screwed something up without intending to. That night, Baekho set up their mattresses without a word. Minhyun stood awkwardly in the corner of the room until Baekho was done and had laid down, looking over to the tall male with a raised brow.

"Sleep?"

"Are you angry?" Minhyun asked softly and Baekho sighed, facing the ceiling while placing his hands under his head.

"Would that make you tell me what you were doing with my sister in my room? She's still my sister and you're still a guy, Minhyun. I can't help but think things even if you're my boyfriend," Baekho confessed and Minhyun jumped into bed, crushing Baekho in a big hug.

"N-no! I would never do that to Naeun or you," He gasped and Baekho laughed a little.

"I'm still trying to trust you, you know."

"She was just...showing me your porn stash," Minhyun whispered. Baekho's cheeks burned as he lifted Minhyun's face.

"Y-you saw it?!" he squeaked and Minhyun nodded.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what you liked. I wasn't expecting b-b-" Baekho covered Minhyun's mouth and in turn got even more flustered.

"Shhh! Holy crap. Naeun, I swear!" Baekho hissed. Minhyun blinked and Baekho slowly moved his hand away. "That was all?"

"Y-yeah. I'm sorry if that upset you," Minhyun muttered and Baekho groaned.

"If you wanted to see it, you could have just asked me."

"I... I didn't think about it but I was bored earlier..." Minhyun snuggled his face against Baekho's chest, hoping he was forgiven. Baekho patted his head and chuckled.

"Right. Well... That was when I was much younger. My tastes have changed considerably since then," Baekho mumbled, shy to admit it aloud. Minhyun peeked at him.

"So you're not going to break up with me because I don't have boobs and that I have a dick, right?" Minhyun asked in a sheepish tone. Baekho crackled and squeezed Minhyun's cheeks.

"Yah! What do you take me for? If I preferred boobs, I wouldn't have gotten together with you in the first place."

Minhyun pouted and Baekho sighed, pulling Minhyun closer to kiss him. Minhyun crawled higher and smiled behind the kiss. "Mmm... Then tell me. When did you find out you weren't straight?"

Baekho hummed and gave it some thought. "When I had just graduated college? There was this senior I was really into and I thought it was respect at first but I realised it was more than that. But I never did give it a go because I was too afraid."

"What about me?"

"Huh?"

"You're not afraid with me?"

"I am," Baekho replied but smiled. Minhyun raised his brows. "But it seems like my body is very attracted to you too so even when I tried to forget you, I couldn't. It was horrifying trying to get you out of my mind."

Minhyun smiled and kissed his lips. "Well I'm glad you didn't."

"Do your parents even know?"

"No. They don't have to."

"Right. So if... IF we do somehow get engaged one day, are we going to have a ceremony?"

Minhyun stared at Baekho. "Eh-Baekho, we just got together like a few days ago."

"I know but it never hurts to be prepared."
