Kibum had made his way back out to the living room chair, where Jonghyun covered him in a blanket and made him a glass of water. He had his knees tucked in and his head resting comfortably on the arm. Minho and Jonghyun had agreed to stay over, and so did Taemin. They made a grocery list and Taemin made sure they put an air mattress on there as Kibums couch isn't that comfy. He didn't want to sleep on it any longer than he had to.

"Alright Jjong and Minho, the room is clean and the bed is made with new sheets," Jinki announced as he walked back into the living room with an arm full of blankets and a pillow for Taemin to use, "I even put spare phone chargers on the side table if you need them," He sat the blankets down on the floor next to the couch, with the pillow on top, "and these are for you Taem~"

"Thanks~" Taemin glanced at Jinki, watching him set the blankets down.

"Thank you~" Minho smiled, put an arm around Jonghyun and then continued, "I know this isn't an ideal situation, but we can make this fun and make the time go by faster with distractions right? We could have a movie night, or a game night...or hell we could even just get drunk and eat a bunch of food!"

"That could be fun~" Jonghyun nodded in agreement.

"I mean, yeah in theory those are good ideas." The leader wasn't opposed to the ideas that Minho had brought, but he didn't know if Kibum or himself would really be in the right head space for any of them.

"Getting drunk sounds fun.." Kibum mumbled, "can we start tonight?" He finished the sentence off with a yawn.

"No, I think maybe we should all get some rest and see how things go in the morning." Jinki could tell Kibum was exhausted, and he wanted to spend some alone time with him before he fell asleep.

"Alright, we'll see you in the morning. Goodnight everyone~" Jonghyun understood what Jinki wanted and stood up, hurrying to the spare room with Minho following right behind.

Taemin put his phone down for the first time since Jinki's been home and got up to spread the blankets over the couch.

"You need anything Taem?" The maknae shook his head and laid down on his temporary couch-bed.

"Well actually can you hand me the remote?"

"Here~" Jinki chuckled and tossed it his way before focusing his attention on Kibum, who was watching his every move, "Come on baby, lets go to bed~"

"Carry me?"

Jinki nodded and picked up the younger with ease, carrying him bridal style to their bedroom. He gently laid him on the bed and covered him up, then got in next to him.

"I wonder what our fans are saying......I'm going to check." The younger spoke softly and unlocked his phone, opening up his instagram page. Jinki cuddled up at his side and watched him navigate the app like it was second nature. Kibum tapped his most recent upload, a selfie from 3 days ago, and started reading some of comments. By this point there were already over 400,000 of them.

instagram user: im sorry but I can't support you anymore.
instagram user: I knew it lol love you king!!
instagram user: This news is the most amazing thing I've ever heard! I cant wait to see you both become the first gay power couple in the entertainment business!! Shawols love you <3
instagram user: stan shinee
instagram user: yikes, the homophobic comments have got to go. you both are amazing! we love you so much!!
instagram user: I actually liked you. I can't believe you could betray your fans like this.
instagram user: happy Key is the best Key! Take care of yourselves!
instagram user: being gay is unnatural, you should seek help.

They both started to cry, yet again, as they spent nearly an hour reading through them. They were filled with love, hate and lots of uncertainty. Regardless of the hate, most fans left genuine heartfelt messages. Kibum even liked a few of them, which he normally never did.

"Jinki, do you think we should breakup because of this?" The younger closed the app, locked his phone and set it on the night stand, then stared at the ceiling.

"What?" That question blindsided Jinki.

"I mean, it could be a good thing to do...at least until this blows over." He sniffled wiping away the remaining tears. At this point he was becoming numb. His emotional battery had reached its end.

"No Kibum, I don't think it would be a good idea. In fact, I think it would make everything worse." Jinki was hurt, but he hoped Kibum didn't mean it in the way it came across.

"Okay." He sighed and rolled to face away from Jinki. Of course, Jinki cuddled up against him, making him the little spoon.

"I love you, Kim Kibum." Jinki held Kibum tight, "More ways." He added incase the first 'I love you' wasn't enough.

"And I love you, Lee Jinki."
