Accidental Rental

Five Months

The movie entered its climax and only one of the two were still invested in it while the other was starting to fidget horribly. Baekho was sweaty all the way to his palms as he waited for the movie to come to an end. He breathed in sharply and lowered the volume a little the moment the ending song started. He joined in when the singing began, surprising Minhyun who twitched from the sudden sound of Baekho's sweet melodic voice coming through his speaker. He recognised the song immediately and smiled warmly as he stared at his boyfriend singing. He joined in after awhile, still able to recall the words. Baekho's eyes twinkled when Minhyun sang along all the way to the end of the credits. He smiled sheepishly and closed the tab once it was over.

"What was that about?" Minhyun asked in a bright tone.

"Well, happy first month anniversary," Baekho said nervously. Minhyun blanked out and Baekho raised his brows. He waved his hand but Minhyun seemed to be in a freeze frame. "Minhyun?"

"Oh fu- it's- that's what you meant by first month?! Why didn't you tell me? Oh god!" Minhyun gasped, freaking out. Baekho chuckled awkwardly and nodded.

"Y-yeah. But you were really occupied with your shoot so I thought we could do sonething relaxing for a change," Baekho explained and Minhyun groaned into his palms.

"I'm such a terrible boyfriend."

"No, no! You're not. You're just busy."

"That's not an excuse for not remembering," Minhyun whined and pouted. Baekho chuckled and sighed. "I promise I'll make it up to you when I come back. You're not upset at me, right?"

"No, I'm not. Just worry about it when you come back." Baekho grinned and Minhyun swore he just fell more for the sparkling male.

"You're the best. I love you, Baekho."

"Love you too."

Thanks to him being so headstrong, Minhyun managed to convince the director not to change his character in the end. The shooting continue as it was meant to be and before he realised, they were already almost at the end and much ahead of schedule. He still managed to keep in touch with Baekho and his sister during the shooting period although he still passed out either mid conversation or after a single text. Baekho was supportive of his boyfriend's career all the way through even if it made him miss the other terribly.

"It's been a great 5 months with all of you. I'll like to thank all the casts and staff here. Thanks to everyone, we get to wrap up the shoot early. Hope to meet you all again sometime on a different project. Have a good rest."

Minhyun stretched his tired body and groaned. Finally, he was done. It was one hell of an experience but he was glad he went through with it and now he was finally able to go home. Feeling a little overexcited by that thought, he had went ahead and book the earliest flight home after informing his manager. He didn't even tell Baekho and opted to call Minki instead. He still had to talk to his friend about exposing Baekho to his sister after all.

Once he had settled in Aron's car since he was now Minki's personal chaperone, he started interrogating his friend.

"I didn't know she was asking me so she could get to you. Also why aren't you over it already? It's been months and it's not like your sister has bounced back yet. The video of her splashing water onto you really ruined a lot of things for her. Her apology isn't being accepted either since she couldn't come up with a proper explanation."

"Well, it wouldn't make for a good frontline if she told them the truth."

"Plus I didn't tell her Baekho was your boyfriend. I only mentioned to her that you two seemed close and she took it the wrong way."

"Because I don't typically get close to anyone, Minki. At least she didn't disturb you too much," He sighed.

"She's got no dirt on me," Minki giggled.

"You and Baekho are dating?" Aron suddenly spoke up, startling Minhyun slightly since he had just been driving silently mostly.

"Yep."

"Is that even safe for you two then? If your sister is after him and you are also in public spotlight..."

"Well, even if it's not, we choose to stick together."

They arrived at Baekho's house and Minhyun thanked them for dropping him off. "Aron, make sure you keep Minki close too. He can be a real diva but he's got a soft heart."

"Hey!" Minki scoffed.

"I will. Take care of Baekho too."

Minhyun grinned and nodded, waving to them as he shut the car door and turned to the apartment. He grinned excitedly and rushed up to the apartment floor. He almost felt giddy once he reached the front door. He pressed the doorbell and waited. Already knowing that Naeun wouldn't be home beforehand from her college schedules and that Baekho would be since it was a Saturday, he was more than eager to know that they would have the entire evening together. It took awhile but the door eventually opened and a flustered pink cheeked Baekho appeared at the front door. He seemed a little out of breath too.

"Yes, yes, who IS-S MINHYUN?!" Baekho gasped in pure shock as he stepped back. Minhyun grinned widely.

"Hey. Its me."

Baekho was stunned and he fidgeted awkwardly. "Y- uh-"

"Huh? I was expecting you to hug me the moment you saw me. Guess this wasn't much of a surprise, huh."

"NO! I-I I'm just so shocked. You didn't tell me you would be back today," Baekho wheezed and hurriedly pulled his boyfriend into an embrace. Minhyun giggled and stepped into the house, shutting the door behind him.

"Surprise!" Minhyun said and Baekho let go of him to laugh.

"You got me. Uh- Take a seat. I'll go get you something to dri-" Minhyun pulled Baekho into his arms before he could rush off. Without a second thought, he kissed Baekho whole heartedly.
