The roof top was a modest space with a couple of plants up against the perimeter and a bench table in the centre, as well as a hanging chair. The space was practically abandoned during late autumn, winter and rainy season all except for the building's owner who tended to the plants. But during the summer and spring months the space became a little lively hub for picnics and socialising for the tenants.

Jongho made his way towards the edge of the building where he could get a better look at the city below. Once there he breathed in deeply and closed his eyes, letting his senses take over.

It was rather peaceful with only a small hum of cars and the scuttling sounds likely from a street cat below. There were a few yaps from a dog in the distance but they were short lived and soon like the sound of the cars and cat they faded away into the stillness of night too.

Jongho looked up at the sky sighing heavily at realising just how starless it was. The sky above was shrouded in grey clouds, masking the stars and moon from view.

Jongho let his eyes fall to the horizon, gazing at far off lights from houses who were still awake at this hour. He wondered what was keeping those people awake.

"Aishh its cold" Jongho exclaimed as another gust of wind billowed over the building.

All was quiet for two seconds until a voice cut through the silence, scaring the life out of him.

"You should have brought your jacket with you gummy bear"

Jongho jumped out of his skin as he spun around clutching his chest, he immediately met the eyes of his hyung and also admittedly his crush Seonghwa.

"Seongieeeeee" Jongho whined "You scared me half to death!!"

Seonghwa, who was dressed also in his pyjamas but appropriately with a long thick coat over the top, looked down at his feet. "Sorry" he pouted.

Jongho shook his head and waved his hands dismissing Seonghwa's apology, there was no need for it and Jongho preferred it when his hyung was smiling not pouty.

"It's ok Seongie, you're just very quiet. Like a mouse sometimes" He giggled. He couldn't help but get a bit giddy around his hyung.

He wasn't sure when it happened but at some point he started crushing on Seonghwa. To Jongho he was handsome, cute and ethereal.

He loved how Seonghwa would take care of him and the rest of the team, and how the older was always there to lend a hand. He also loved it when the older called his name, or more particular his nickname: Gummy Bear.

Like his crush which appeared out of the blue Seonghwa had started calling him "Gummy Bear" and "My little Gummy Bear" out of the blue too. No one else in the group called him Gummy Bear, it was only Seonghwa and their fans.

When his fans said it he found the nickname endearing, but when Seonghwa said it he felt truly special, and it would cause butterflies to flutter in his stomach and his heart to tighten in pure excitement and bliss. He liked when Seonghwa would use possessive language because it made him feel like he actually belonged to Seonghwa, and he very much would love to be Seonghwa's.

At some point in time Jongho had given Seonghwa the nickname Seongie. It started off as a name he called when he wanted something from the older and he knew acting cute would help make Seonghwa get him whatever he wanted, but now "Seongie" was just a permanent special nickname he used that he knew when said it would always make Seonghwa smile.

Despite having these feelings and Seonghwa responding cutely when called by his nickname and looking after him, Jongho wasn't sure whether Seonghwa felt the same way.
