"A-A-Are you asking me out?" "In a way." Younghoon was pleased with the thought then realized that he was simply going to be a test dummy. "Oh." Silence fell over them as the resumed cleaning up the house. "I need to make a phone call, you don't mind right?" "Go ahead." Younghoon stepped out of the house then dialed Juyeon's number. "Hey, Youngfool." "Jaehyun? Where's Juyeon?" "Sleep. It hasn't been too long since he fell asleep, so he won't be waking anytime soon. Did you need something?" "I did, but he's sleep so there's no point." "So you think I can't help you out?" "Exactly." He heard Jaehyun scoff and was pretty sure he had rolled his eyes too. "Try me."

"So, Changmin said he wanted to experience love and wanted to try it out with me. I'm basically a test dummy." "Glad you realized that. Did you already agree?" "No." "Good. Don't. Tell him you aren't going to be his test dummy and to find someone gullible enough to do that." Younghoon was surprised to hear decent advice come from Jaehyun. "I'll try that. Thanks, I guess."

"Everything okay?" "Yeah." Younghoon went back to his spot in the living room then cleared his throat as he continued where he left off. "I'm not going to be your test dummy for experiencing love. It just doesn't work like that." "I know." "Then why did you say it?" "Because I was scared." Younghoon stopped working and looked over at Changmin who hung his head low. He slowly walked over to Changmin and lifted up his head. "You're crying. Why?" "Because...because I get these feelings and I don't know what to do with them." Younghoon pulled Changmin close then patted his back. "Just let them be wild and free." Younghoon pulled away then softly smiled at Changmin. "It hurts more denying your feelings, so don't do it."

He felt Changmin pull him into a kiss then slowly let him enter his mouth. Younghoon pulled Changmin closer as he felt nothing but happiness flowing through his body. They eventually separated and simply stared at each other. "I like you. A lot. I have for a while now. I was afraid that the feeling wasn't mutual and I couldn't stand the thought of rejection." Younghoon kissed Changmin's forehead then let him go. "I guess we were on the same wavelength." He noticed their string had a periwinkle pattern going through it and he was unable to hide his surprise. "What's so surprising?" "It's nothing." "It is something. Tell me." "You won't believe me." "Try me." "Strings of fate." "You're right, I don't believe you." Younghoon rolled his eyes as he examined the new pattern. "Now that I think about it, Juyeon and Jaehyun have a periwinkle string...Is it a new level of a relationship? That would make the most sense. Why didn't I think about this before?" he thought as he started making a note of this new discovery on his phone.

After hours of cleaning, half of the house had looked presentable once more. "Let's call it a day. We can do more tomorrow." "You sure?" "Yeah. Maybe we can get Juyeon and Jaehyun to help." Younghoon burst out in laughter then held onto Changmin for support. "Jaehyun do manual labor? That's as rare as a plant successfully growing outside its natural habitat." "Really?" "Yep. We could possibly convince Juyeon since he'd do anything for me." They set everything to the side and exited the house. "Before you go." Changmin intertwined their hands then gave him a smile. "You're mine, okay?" "And you're mine."
