"What the hell are you three doing up here?!" They could only blink at Younghoon who hadn't let go of Changmin's hand. Jaehyun had spoke up and explained what was going on. "And none of you thought that maybe something could go wrong? I was losing circulation because of you two bumbling idiots." he said as he looked at Juyeon and Jaehyun.

"Hey, it was all Jaehyun's idea." "But you didn't stop them. So you're just as guilty." Younghoon looked at Changmin who looked slightly scared. "You. What in the world convinced you to do this? What if you fell, huh? How would they explain to your parents? Many people would miss you..." He noticed Changmin's face had hardened. Changmin shook off his hand and glared at him. "You don't know my life, Younghoon. What if I did want to fall? Don't butt into things you know nothing about." Younghoon watched Changmin push past him then went after him.

"I don't know about your life because you won't tell me." Changmin walked faster and so did Younghoon. Younghoon grabbed his arm to keep him from moving. "Did you really want to fall...?" The silence felt suffocating to Younghoon. "No." "Don't do something that dangerous again, please." "Okay." He was surprised how agreeable Changmin was being. "Can you tell me what's going on with your life?" More silence ensued as Younghoon waited for an answer. "Let go of me." Younghoon did as he was told and expected Changmin to run, but he didn't. "I only have one parent. My dad. I got a job to help him with money." "Oh." He wasn't sure if he should ask about his mother and siblings, so he opted for a hug. "Thanks." "It's what friends do."

Younghoon found himself sitting underneath a tree and gently stroking Changmin's hair. He couldn't move as Changmin had fallen asleep on his lap. "He's such a handful...but he keeps things interesting. He's cute on top of that." he thought then shook his head. "I've been calling him cute lately...He has started looking more attractive lately though." he thought as he looked down at Changmin's face. He noticed someone was approaching them from afar. Younghoon felt Changmin roll over and make himself comfortable again. "Younghoon." He looked up and saw Juyeon nearing them.

"You two look cute." "We're not." Juyeon rolled his eyes then sat down on Younghoon's other side. "How did it get like this?" "Well, we sat down here and talked. Then he knocked out and his head was bobbing, so I just did this." Juyeon nodded then looked ahead. "I'm sorry for not doing anything. Guess I was swept up in the moment. Still, it's no excuse for what could've happened. What did you mean by losing circulation?" "Our string was that tight." "Oh." Younghoon brushed a few strands from Changmin's face then looked at Juyeon. "I think I might date Chanhee." "What's with the sudden change?"

Younghoon shrugged as he carefully changed his sitting position. "But dating Chanhee would be giving into fate." "Maybe you can't escape fate. Maybe altering fate is still part of fate." "I was really rooting for you two here." Younghoon quietly laughed so he wouldn't wake Changmin. "Did you forget? He doesn't believe in love. It'll take a miracle or some person who has a strong effect on him. And both are impossible."

Juyeon looked lost in thought then let a smirk form on his face. "What if it's you?" "I-Impossible." He realized he had shouted then started panicking as Changmin started to stir. Thankfully, he hadn't awakened and Younghoon hit Juyeon's arm. "If you think about it, Chanhee is his true lover and vice versa, but usually you'd start feeling something for them after a while. And it has been a while but Changmin isn't phased." Younghoon rolled his eyes as he continued to stroke Changmin's hair.

"It would also explain your teal string. You can't tell me this isn't making sense." As much as Younghoon wanted to deny it, he was an honest man. "Exactly. So I think if you get with Chanhee, something may happen to that teal string." "Well, something did earlier...I was talking to Chanhee about possibly dating him and the teal string looked so distorted that it was hard to look at..." Juyeon lightly clapped then pointed at him. "What did I tell you? Younghoon, don't date Chanhee." Younghoon scoffed then carefully moved Changmin's head off his lap. "You can't tell me what I should and shouldn't do." "Where are you going? You're just going to leave him here?" Younghoon continued to walk away in a huff and back to Chanhee's room.
