ALL OF a sudden, jisoo grabbed the knife from the small kitchen. of course, jeonghan looked scared, but jisoo can assure him that he was not going to do anything wrong. well, it was wrong of him to grab a knife when he could've just looked somewhere else for a scissor instead.

"stay still," jisoo warns, stepping into jeonghan's 'danger' zone. jisoo did not have any kind of heart-fluttering experience, so he did not know that this certain action was supposed to make him blush. anyway, putting those things aside:

jisoo cut jeonghan's long, flowy midnight hair abruptly short. jeonghan was clearly shocked, again, and jisoo was kind of glad that this reaction coming out of the prince did not seem rehearsed like how every reaction of his used to be.

jisoo pulls out the hair tie from his wrist, setting the knife down. he walks around the prince, immediately working on jeonghan's hair. whilst putting his short hair into a man bun, jisoo remarked, "your hair is soft. just like a prince."

"w-well, i am a prince." jeonghan replies, but jisoo doesn't reply. he was busy disposing the handful of hair that he just cut off from jeonghan's head.

without any warning, jisoo steps out of the treehouse. he grabs some important things in his car, leaving a skeptical jeonghan inside the small tree house with his cute little man bun.

jisoo did care about jeonghan. eventually, if jisoo did not come today, he will come check on jeonghan sooner since the prince's living condition is utterly hard. plus, even if they weren't the best of friends, they were still friends. that's something jisoo cannot change.

the sirens got louder, which made jisoo panic a little. immediately, jisoo ran up the stairs carelessly after throwing his backpack over his shoulder. as soon as jisoo entered the tree house, he took a close up picture of jeonghan's startled face.

"what are you doing, hong jisoo-ssi?" the prince asked politely, while jisoo's polaroid printed out the improper picture of bellezia's scion. "why are we taking pictures? i don't particularly like that one." jeonghan points to his polaroid pitcure.

"you're lucky i have my polaroid in the trunk." jisoo snaps a picture of him with a confused jeonghan in the background. "okay, next one."

jisoo took a deep breath, tickling jeonghan all of a sudden, which took him aback—and then jisoo laughed with him while taking a picture. after doing so, jisoo profusely apologized and hastily gave jeonghan his backpack. "here, i have two sets of fresh clothes in there, undergarments included. also... there's a first aid kit in there. go change. now!"

"hong jisoo-ssi, you noticed?!" jeonghan asks, with such wide eyes and glimmering eyes like the stars. if jisoo wasn't panicked, he would say he was enthralled. the prince was unnecessarily good-looking. "thank you very much! i'll change now!"

it was awfully obvious that jeonghan had a nasty injury on his shoulder. jisoo wasn't that oblivious, duh?

anyway, time to work. jisoo took out the tape, wooden clips and paper yarn from his back pockets, taking a quick picture of himself on his polaroid before actually starting to work.

jisoo walked to the biggest wall, cut(by cutting jisoo meant snapping it in two) a long piece of paper yarn, taped the two ends on separate sides of the wall, clipped the three polaroid pictures on the yarn using the wooden clips, and sighed. the sirens have stopped, which means the police had probably arrived—and jisoo finished just in time.

jisoo hides the tape and remaining paper yarn under the couch.

"hong jisoo-ssi?" startling jisoo, jeonghan called out from the bathroom after a doorknob clicked and the sound of a door creaking echoed throughout the little tree house. jisoo walked to the bathroom.

ah. did i actually just get myself in a kdrama scene? jisoo puckers his lips, wondering as he looked at jeonghan(shirtless and on his sweatpants) who sat cluelessly on the toilet seat. a nasty cut was visible on his shoulder. surprisingly, there was no dried blood around it.

"i rinsed myself accordingly. i am quite fresh, thus the wet hair and such. can you help me with the wound dressing? a bullet passed by my shoulder and it left a mark." jeonghan points to his shoulder. jisoo walked in and nodded, grabbing the antiseptic.

before jisoo could even get started, the police had knocked on the door. sighing, jisoo walked out of the bathroom and answered the door. the police was here, apparently.

if you're wondering: where did jisoo get all the random items? well, there was once a client who suggested to clip her polaroid pictures with her boyfriend on paper yarn behind them and then hold fairy lights or something. and, the extra clothes? that's for emergencies. for like, when the four decide to swim or when they get caught in the rain. or other unforseen unfortunate events that require their clothing to get soiled.

"sir, do you live here?" the police officer in front of jisoo asks. jisoo nods, smiling. "is there another person here who lives with you? we just traced a suspicious burglar coming in here. she had long hair, she's wearing a white suit, and she's quite tall."

she? jisoo's eyebrows knitted. did they seriously think that jeonghan was a girl? well, acceptable, because of his hair and he's pretty— WHAT?!

"i don't know what you're talking about." jisoo innocently replied, crossing his arms and leaning on the doorway. let's hope that the treehouse won't collapse because of jisoo's muscle mass.

"can we see the other person living in here, sir?" another police officer asked. "can we enter?"

jisoo steps aside, letting three police officers in. he gets in the bathroom, yanks jeonghan out of the bathroom and shows him to the police officers.

"as you can see, we have three of our pictures on the wall," jisoo points to the sorry excuse of decoration that he just made using the recently developed polaroid pictures of him and jeonghan. "because we recently just moved in here. i'm joshua hong, he's kang haru, we're... boyfriends."

and, boy oh boy. jeonghan was perfectly fitting for the title of 'king', since he is very adaptable to sudden situations. jeonghan took jisoo's first kiss. on the lips.

now jisoo was just embarrassed—he was the one who started this dating thing, so jeonghan kissed him(of course, playing along) and now he's fucking losing his shit and being all blushy!

"o...kay, sir. but...." the third police officer awkwardly lifted up a gun using his gloved hands. jisoo felt happy that he was not the only one feeling awkward in this room. should jisoo really be happy? the police just found a gun. jeonghan's gun. "care to explain this?"

jisoo opened his mouth, ready to stutter and mess up their almost perfect front—but jeonghan saves the day.

"that, sir, is my gun." jeonghan smiled sweetly at the policemen.
