"What happened?" Woozi looked at Hoshi through the mirror. Woozi was drying his hair while Hoshi was leaning against the door with his hands crossed against his chest.

"Nothing." Hoshi muttered.

"Then?" Woozi asked, "Why are you here?"

"Randomly?" Hoshi scratched his neck, "I mean I came here to check if you're asleep."

Woozi squinted his brows as he turned around, "You're talking non sense. Why would me being asleep matter to you?"

"Yeah right." Hoshi smiled awkwardly, "I should go back to my room."

Woozi stared at the older who wasn't really leaving, "What's wrong with you, Hoshi?"

"Exactly, what's wrong with me?" Hoshi muttered to himself.

"Can you speak a bit louder?" Woozi raised a brow.

Hoshi remained silent while staring at the younger without blinking. He was wearing casual black trousers and a black oversized t-shirt. His hairs were almost touching his shoulders which looked really fluffy as some of the strands covered his forehead.

Well, he might or might not be looking at those scrumptious lips which were ready to be devoured. He felt really guilty for the actual reason behind his sudden visit to Woozi's room but he couldn't help it. And he couldn't say it either because coming out as desperate creep was the last thing he wanted.

Here is the ocean view
Everyday I'll give it to you
I'll say it again, loving you
At any moment, oh yeah yeah

"Hoshi? Are you drunk or something?" Woozi walked towards him and tried to sniff his face, "But you don't smell like alcohol."

Hoshi clenched his fists tightly because the proximity was testing his self control.

"Uh don't mind me, I'll just go." Hoshi chuckled.

Woozi held his hand, "But what happened to you? Tell me?"

"Should I?" Hoshi turned towards him.

"That's what I'm asking?" Woozi was confused.

Hoshi looked at Woozi's hand which was grabbing his arm. He held his hand and guided it to keep it on his own shoulder. Hoshi slipped his other arm around his waist, "I was here for you."

"Not for me." Woozi chuckled bitterly, "Both of us know that."

Hoshi stared at him as he felt overwhelmed, "I'm sorry I'll just go."

Hoshi was slowly leaving his waist but Woozi's grip on his shoulder didn't loosen. He couldn't decide. He wanted the older to stay and do whatever he wanted to but one part of him knew that this temporary fun was ruining the core of their friendship.

And did Hoshi not know that? He was also aware of the fact that whatever they were doing should be counted as lust. But it irked him, that word annoyed him. He didn't want to use it between him and Woozi, never. He would rather keep his desires in control.

"Woozi, I'm sorry." Hoshi muttered, "I complicated things between us."

"Do you want me?" Woozi looked up as the older nodded.

"I do too." Woozi scoffed, "But still, there's something that's stopping us, right?"

"I don't want to hurt you." Hoshi held his cheek, "I don't want our friendship to suffer because of all this."

Woozi ascended his hand towards the older's neck as he pulled him into a kiss. It wasn't rough, it was slow, steady yet passionate. They may deny it for a thousand times but there were feelings in it, definitely.

You're mine and I'm yours. Hoshi wanted to say this but wouldn't it be a lie? Why would he say that? That made no sense at all.

Hoshi retracted himself. Before he could lose control again, he began to leave. He held the door but for some reason, he just couldn't step out. One step, just one more and he could simply go away. But that one step was heavier than anything else.

Giving up, he closed the door shut and found himself standing in front of Woozi, once again. He slowly walked towards him and lifted him into his arms. He went towards the bed and laid him on it before breaking the eye contact.

"Stop me Woozi." Hoshi whispered.

Woozi just blinked as his words seemed to choke in his throat.

Hoshi hovered over him and wasted no time to capture the younger's lips amidst his own. The fire of proximity was ignited again as something they had decided to be a one time thing, repeated itself.

A little secret, shared between the two of them and the four walls.

A loophole of desire in which they were trapped with their own will.

The inner voices that had tried to stop them once were now dead, already as they left them on their own insane decisions.

"Seokmin!! Where are you?" Joshua barged into the younger's room. Of course, they were comfortable enough now.

"What happened?" Seokmin walked out of the washroom.

"Let's go out to eat ice cream." Joshua chuckled.

"We've ice cream in the fridge itself, where do you want to go?" Seokmin was puzzled.

"No!" Joshua passed a mischievous grin, "Let's sneak out."

"Sneak out? But why?" Seokmin asked.

"For fun!" Joshua shook the younger's arms, "Please let's go for an adventure. It will be so fun!"

"Okay okay!" Seokmin agreed, "Let's go."

The duo walked out of the room while being cautious that there was no one in the hallway. They descended downstairs and reached the corridor of the ground floor, just before the hall.

They saw Wonwoo making something in the kitchen. Joshua was about to greet him in a loud voice when Seokmin pulled him back into the corridor. He pinned the older against the wall and pressed his palm over Joshua's mouth, "What are you doing?"

Due to the sudden jerk, Joshua's hands landed against the younger's chest as his eyes widened, "Uh-"

"If you're going to announce everywhere then what's the point of sneaking out?" Seokmin frowned, still not caring about the proximity.

Meanwhile, Joshua was flustered as he stared deep into the younger's eyes.

Your delicate moves, my heart becomes sensitive too
The dance that blooms within the blue forest
You're my heart and I'm your heart
The motion we all know, if you express it to your heart's content

"Hyung?" Seokmin shook him, "You-" It was when he realised the situation as he slowly backed away.

"I was just too excited." Joshua avoided eye contact.

"Oh shit, he's coming here." Seokmin scrunched his brows.

"Let's go there." Joshua grabbed his hand and ran to the opposite side but halted immediately when he saw Seungkwan coming from the other side.

"Now what?" Seokmin asked.

"Here." Joshua opened the closest door and barged into it along with the younger while shutting the door.

"Where are we right now?" Seokmin looked around the dark room.

"It's the store room for keeping files which aren't exactly useful for us but we may need it so yeah." Joshua explained.

"Isn't this room supposed to be in the office?"

"These are confidential so we decided to keep them here."

"Anyways, why are we even hiding?" Seokmin raised a brow, "Like we could make some excuses."

"To Wonwoo and Seungkwan? Excuses?" Joshua sighed in disbelief.

"Makes sense." Seokmin nodded.

"Now-"

"Shh!" Seokmin placed his finger on the older's lips as he whispered, "They're right here." The faint voice of Wonwoo and Seungkwan having a conversation was audible.

"How do we make sure that our path is clear?" Seokmin continued.

Joshua looked around as he pointed at the window above the door.

"Yeah? How are you going to reach there?" Seokmin mocked.

"Lift me up." Joshua sternly stated.

"What?"

"Yeah, these muscles aren't for show, are they?" Joshua pinched his biceps.

"Are you challenging me?" Seokmin pulled his sleeves up after which he wrapped his arms around Joshua's waist to lift him.

But Joshua felt the tickle due to the sudden gesture as he instinctively turned around and came face to face with the younger. They were close to each other, staring into one another's soul.

Seokmin had his arms around the older's waist as he slowly pulled him closer to himself.

Oh yeah yeah
Nothing better
We're ordering in a language only we know

"Uh- yeah I'll pick you up." Seokmin looked away to not to lose control and make the older uncomfortable in any possible way.

Joshua turned around as Seokmin lifted him up.

Joshua peeked through the window and forwned as the duo was still standing there.

"Hyung? How long?" Seokmin sighed.

"Wait." Joshua whispered.

After a while, Joshua gestured him to put him down. Seokmin did as asked after which he scoffed heavily.

"What? Am I that heavy?" Joshua cocked a brow.

"Did I even say that?" Seokmin whined, "Now let's go."

Finally, both of them made their way out of the mansion as they found themselves walking amidst the mildly busy streets that were looking absolutely beautiful in the starry night.

"Yeah, now you can stop flexing your muscles." Joshua rolled his eyes.

"What?"

"This." Joshua pointed at the younger's shirt whose to two buttons were open, revealing his skin more than Seokmin usually preferred to.

Seokmin held his shirt as he frowned, "The buttons broke. I think it happened due to us being all over the place, nevermind."

"Now wait here." Joshua halted, "I'll bring you the best burger you must have ever had in your entire life."

"Burger? Weren't we out for ice cream?"

"Plan change."

"Okay then I'll come with you." Seokmin insisted.

"Can you see that truck?" Joshua pointed at one extremely crowded food truck even if it was late night, "The owner is my friend so I won't have to be in the line and he has strictly told me to never try to bring anyone into his kitchen. So you need to wait here, if that's fine."

"Okay, as your orders demand." Seokmin bowed.

Joshua giggled as he left.

Seokmin stared at his disappearing figure with a faint smile on his face. He just loved to admire Joshua. In his eyes, he was the most gorgeous soul to exist.

His beautiful thoughts were intervened by a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see an old man who seemed to be a stranger.

"Hey young man!" The old man greeted, "My name is Kim Jiyoung."

"Uh hi sir." Seokmin chuckled hesitantly as he accepted the hand shake and bowed, "I'm Lee Seokmin."

"Oh nice name!" Jiyoung patted his arms, "You're too handsome."

"Thankyou." Seokmin nodded.

"Are you single?" The old man asked.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh no you're misunderstanding me." Jiyoung laughed, "I'm asking for my daughter. If you're willing to marry then I'll suggest you to meet her once!"

"But sir-"

"I know, I know, you might have a girlfriend or boyfriend but you aren't married right?" The old man stated, "Just meet my daughter once, you'll forget everybody else." Once that man started blabbering, he didn't stop at any cost.

It was when Seokmin saw Joshua coming towards them with two boxes in his hands. Seokmin didn't waste an second as he intervened Jiyoung's non sense, "SHUA HYUNG!"

Seokmin walked towards the older, his eyes gesturing him to save him, "I was waiting for you for so long."

He wrapped his arms around the older's waist and came face to face with the old man, "Sir, I'm actually married."

"What?" Jiyoung was taken aback and so was Joshua.

"Yeah, this gorgeous man is the love of my life and the sole bearer of my wedding ring." Seokmin chuckled, "I hope you'll find a nice person for your daughter. Thankyou sir." Seokmin hurried as he dragged Joshua away.

As the younger explained everything to him, Joshua burst into laughter while they both enjoyed their snacks.

"One more minute and he would've literally dragged me to the wedding aisle." Seokmin sighed, "What the hell was that?"

"Well, your fault that you're so perfect that a random stranger saw his son in law in you." Joshua chuckled.

"Yeah, then do you see your husband in me too?" Seokmin looked at him.

"What?" Joshua's smile disappeared.

"Stop making fun of me because I don't think you can handle my jokes well." Seokmin laughed.

"Y-yeah I'll see you later." Joshua threatened but he was indeed flustered by the sudden statement.

"C'mon!" Seokmin patted his back to calm him.

Here's the ocean view
Everyday I'll give it to you
I'll say it again, loving you
I want to keep getting to know you

•Serenity Mansion•

Seungcheol parked the car as he looked at the younger, "Everyone must be asleep by now."

"I don't think so?" Jeonghan nodded, "But yeah, the awaken ones must be in their rooms."

"Why are we even discussing it?" Seungcheol laughed as both of them got out of the car.

"I think it's in our instincts now." Jeonghan chuckled, "Parent instincts, it sounds weird, doesn't it?"

Seungcheol wrapped his arm around the younger's waist and kissed his forehead, "It doesn't. You were like that since the beginning."

Jeonghan interpreted it as the time when he had met the Rose Quartz team, "You too though. I remember you called them goofy kids."

"That's a running joke." Seungcheol laughed as both of them began to walk around.

"Come in?" Jeonghan stated.

Seungcheol held his hand, "Going in means you'll go in your room and I'll go in mine and sleep. I don't want to leave you."

"You've become so cheesy after the date." Jeonghan giggled, "Come, let's go."

In each other's deepening sea
I just want to sleep
A heart like a rippling wave
I can tell without saying anything

"As you say." Seungcheol willingly got dragged by the younger. He kept walking behind him until Jeonghan reached his room and halted.

"What?" Jeonghan grinned, "Your room got left behind."

Seungcheol scratched his forehead, "Y-yeah."

Jeonghan patted his chest, "Go!"

"Good night." Seungcheol muttered.

"Good night."

"And take care." Seungcheol wasn't in the mood to go.

Jeonghan crossed his arms while admiring the older's efforts to stay longer, "You too, take care."

"And uh- sleep well."

"Sure."

"You know you can come to me if you feel uneasy." Seungcheol kept fiddling his entire body.

Jeonghan held his hands and pressed a kiss on his lips, "We'll see each other everyday Seungcheol, just go and sleep."

Move within your eyes
Don't rush and keep that vibe
Our own breath
A melody that I write while filling it up

"Yeah, I'll just go?"

"Stop, you're too adorable." Jeonghan snuggled into his embrace.

"Fine, I'll go." Seungcheol kissed his head and began to leave by walking backwards as he stumbled against a table.

"Seungcheol! Just go!" Jeonghan laughed while staring at him.

Seungcheol blew a kiss to him after which he turned around to leave.

Jeonghan chuckled to himself. After these long years, he was finally feeling complete. He used to think his memories were the only cure to his condition but no, his life, no longer had the void.

The void of love.

Woozi was sleeping peacefully while being in Hoshi's embrace. On the other hand, Hoshi was wide awake while caressing the younger's hair.

His sleep, his peace everything was long gone even though it was midnight.

"I like him, don't I?" Hoshi chuckled while kissing the younger's forehead.

But his smile dropped immediately when he realised he wasn't supposed to gain feelings for him. They had decided it on the very first day.

"There's no way I can keep him close to myself if I tell him the truth." Hoshi scoffed.

"Why am I doing all this?" Hoshi felt miserable, "Everyday I'm getting more and more attached to him."

He knew that confessing his feelings and letting Woozi go away from himself required a lot of courage. And he didn't have that courage, not at all.

Woozi wriggled a bit to adjust himself as Hoshi quickly patted his head to make him fall asleep again.

Hoshi chuckled to himself, "Adorable. I know you hate being called cute but what can I do? I don't know how people around you control themselves from squishing your cheeks."

Here's the ocean view
Everyday I'll give it to you
I'll say it again, loving you
I want to keep getting to know you oh ah

"Or probably I'm the only one who is just down bad for you." Hoshi continued, "I wish I had the courage to say these things to you when you were awake."

"Forgive me Woozi, I don't know how to go back anymore." Hoshi scoffed, "I don't know how to make things right between us again."

"Only if I had control over myself that night in the store room, all this would have never happened." Hoshi sighed, "But what was I supposed to do? You were so close to me. Your eyes were looking into mine. Your charms captivated my heart. I just failed to recognise that it wasn't the desire to have you, they were my feelings for you."

"Argh Kwon Soonyoung!" Hoshi rebuked himself, "Now my image in his eyes is completely different. Will he ever take my feelings seriously? No. He'll just think I'm making excuses to continue all this."

"Although things are already messed up, I've to do something before they get too out of hand."

Hoshi vowed to himself to gradually fix everything between them. But as a matter of fact, he himself knew that the vow would probably fly into the dustbin the next moment he would see Woozi again.

A/n : Just how much I love to fuck up the plot lmao.
