Maybe it was because of panic. Maybe Yeonjun really do trusts them with his life. Maybe he just didn't have a choice. Maybe it was out of nerves. Or maybe he needs assurance that things will be okay and these two people never fail to give him that.

But whatever the reason is, Yeonjun finds himself in the backseat of a car, sandwiched between his bestfriends on their way to this so called Ahgase's Village and checking this house that he apparently owns.

Yeah, together with Soobin but like, whatever.

Enough with Soobin, it's making Yeonjun nervous. He doesn't know why, but meeting the guy just scares the heck outta him like Soobin will straight out punch him and choke him to death for dragging him into the mess called his life.

But like what he said, enough with Soobin.

It's not like he's gonna show up, right?

He's not gonna be there, right?

“Hey, are you okay?” Beomgyu nudges him, “you look like you're about to throw up.”

Yeonjun shakes his head and gives Beomgyu a soft smile. “I'm fine, just scared.”

“Scared of what exactly?”

“I don't know. Meeting Soobin maybe? My parents finding out? Or knowing the price of that house– who knows it could've cost my whole bank account.”

Beomgyu sends Yeonjun a look and contemplates whether to continue being the nice, wonderful, amazing, awesome friend that he is or just smack his face.

“Are you kidding me? You spending your whole bank account? Bitch you have multiple accounts and they're full as fuck.”

“Yeah whatever~”

“Are you two uglies finish? We're here.”

Taehyun was already out of the car when he interrupted the two. He peeks into the open door and ushers them to move outta their seats.

“Okaaaayy~ so where is their main office?”

“Why are you asking me? Do I live here?”

Taehyun rolled his eyes at Beomgyu, “Bitch you don't but Junnie hyung does, ha!”

Yeonjun scoffs at them, “I'm starting to regret bringing you both with me.”

After minutes of bickering, the three males arrived at a decision of just asking the guard outside the village gates which one the main office is. They could've just done that earlier but no, they chose to argue with each other and make matters longer. Sometimes, their actions prove that they really do share the same braincells.

And now they're here, outside, with Taehyun about to open the door without even knocking.

Manners could really be forgotten at situations like this.

“Taehyun wait!”

And he opens it.

And now almost all of the workers inside are looking at him with some confused, some shocked and some with alerted expressions.

Yeonjun and Beomgyu could feel the embarrassment rushing up their system. However, here stands Taehyun, and instead of being ashamed and flustered, he scans the room confidently.

“I know I'm beautiful and all but you don't have to stare, you can go back to your works,” he flashes a smile. “Oh and by the way, who among you all is Jackson?”

The two elders are shaking their heads and facepalming themselves because of Taehyun's ways. Why must he be like this?

Then suddenly, a guy with a buff but great physique walks up to them sporting a bright smile that makes him look a little less intimidating. How could he not be? He's really out here wearing dress shirt with his coat hanging on his arms and damn those muscles are visible.

“You're looking for me?”

“Yeah, my friend over there received a call from you this morning so we're here to sort some things.” Taehyun points at Yeonjun who's still busy having a telepathy with Beomgyu about how embarrassing Taehyun was.

The employee named Jackson nodded his head, “Oh, must be Mr. Choi.”

Now having enough courage to walk up to them, the said male speaks up. “Just call me Yeonjun.”

“Alright then, Yeonjun! You can come with me to my office to finalize things and to get your keys and stuffs or you and your friends could wait for me at the waiting area– whichever you prefer.”

“I think I'll just come with you.”

Jackson offered them a ride (using the village's van) to get to the place Yeonjun bought, and who are they to refuse right?

So now they're here, roaming around the blocks and finally being able to admire the village's elegance and beauty.

It's full with big houses with their own different designs, each one presents their own unique exterior and two people can't help but admire them. Yeonjun would've admire it too but he's too busy dealing with his nerves to even pay attention at his surroundings. His thoughts are occupied with things that could go wrong and questions of what ifs and what else did he do and him trying to remember that night and why the fuck is he thinking of spongebob?

He hasn't even realized that they stopped if it wasn't for Beomgyu pulling him out.

Now out of the van, the four of them stood outside a really pretty, massive, so fucking expensive looking house and why the fuck is the lawn so fucking spacious?

Were they thinking of recruiting lots of people here when they bought it? If they planned to live in here together– it was just the two of them– why did they choose something so huge?

AND WHY THE FUCK DID HE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY OVER THIS WHAT WAS YEONJUN THINKING AHHHH HE'S NEVER GOING TO DRINK EVER AGAIN.

“Woah, it isn't my first time seeing a house this big. I mean, our house is big too but— do you guys really have to live in a house this huge?” Beomgyu gapes at the sight in front of them, not even sparing Yeonjun a glance as he asks him a question.

“Dude, those two are loaded as fuck. What did you expect them to do? Buy a single apartment?” Taehyun sassed and rolled his eyes. “By the way Yeonjun hyung, weird flex but okay.”

Yeonjun isn't even gonna try anymore.

Jackson who's now feeling out place as he watches the three exchange remarks, felt so thankful when his phone rung all of a sudden. Almost immediately, at the first ring, he fished it out of his pocket and didn't even bother to check who's calling and answered it so enthusiastically.

“Hello! Yes! Thank you so much for saving me–” he must have been too loud because the three younger males gave him a weird look. He sends them a sheepish smile and quickly backs aways before lowering his voice, “Uhm... Yeah, sorry about that.... Err... What is it again?”

The three dismissed Jackson and went back to their own little banter, deciding whether to open the gates now or wait for Jackson. But Taehyun's already holding the lock and is itching to punch in the passcode while Beomgyu and Yeonjun are still distracted with god knows what.

Couple of minutes later, Jackson came back. “Hey, I'm sorry but I have to go now. My partner needs help with something. But here's the keys and just call me at the office if you ever need help.”

Yeonjun sends him a thankful smile, “It's alright hyung. Thank you.”

With one last bow, they all bid Jackson their goodbyes.

“Finally! Now hurry up and open the damn gates! I wanna see your house.” Taehyun shakes Yeonjun's shoulder, earning a warning look from the older.

“How about you calm down and we'll enter like a normal human being.”

“Shut up Beomgyu, we were never normal.”

Sighing and rolling his eyes at two of his friends, Yeonjun entered the passcode and opened the gates.

The lawn greeted the three of them. And Yeonjun must not admit it but he envisioned himself decorating it with different plants and flowers and maybe put a little swing at the corner and would you look at that, isn't that space perfect for a barbeque party? Might as well put a set of tables and chairs in there.

But nuh uh, Yeonjun absolutely did not think of that.

“Okay Junnie, if you don't move in, I will.” Said Taehyun, obviously in awe of what he's seeing. Not that the two boys can judge him since they totally agree.

Yeonjun must be an idiot but his an idiot with taste.

“Let's go inside.” Beomgyu invited his friends as if he's the owner of the house. He's even holding the keys already and was about to open the door but someone beats him to it.

Someone tall.

Someone familiar.

Someone Yeonjun isn't ready to meet yet.

Someone who's wearing the same ring as him.

Someone who's now making his way towards a shocked Yeonjun.

No.

Oh my god.

Just no.

But too late, because that someone is now dragging Yeonjun behind his back, away from his friends and away from that house.
