~Time skip: 2 months~

Younghoon watched as Changmin worked hard at the snack shop. He took another sip of his drink and decided to finally eat his food. He wanted to stay as long as possible without arousing suspicion from the other workers. "I bet most of these girls just come to see him. And maybe that other guy too." he thought as he looked at Changmin and his coworker. Younghoon looked and confirmed that his coworker was indeed being swooned over. "Excuse me, sir."

He looked up and saw Changmin standing by his table. "First of all, I see you checking out Kevin. Second of all, you've barely touched your food since you got it and it's worrying the rest of the staff." He took note of Changmin's hushed voice as he wasn't here to tell him such things. "Sorry. I'll finish up here and wait for you outside." "Is there anything troubling you, sir?" "No, I'm sorry to have caused concern." Younghoon winked then watched Changmin bow then walk away blushing.

Younghoon sat in the convenience store as he waited for Changmin. "You're here again?" He turned around then gave the cashier a sheepish smile. "Sorry, Haknyeon. This is the closest place to that snack shop and that has seats." Haknyeon rolled his eyes then put a piece of gum in his mouth. "Just don't cause a ruckus like last week." Younghoon chuckled then rested his head against the cool surface. He felt himself drifting off and tried to stay awake, only to fail.

Younghoon felt someone shaking his body, so he opened his eyes to see who. He sat up and stretched then heard someone say "Ow." He looked to his left and saw Changmin babying his nose. "Was that me? I'm sorry." Changmin shook his head then slid some food over to him. "Did you steal this?" "I bought it from here, you idiot." "Oh." He looked to Haknyeon who simply gave him a thumbs up in response. "So, I'm going to do this." Younghoon felt Changmin give him a peck on the lips then smile. "Will you do me the honor of being my boyfriend?" "I thought we already were?" "I wanted to properly ask." "Then, I will be."

They heard clapping come from near the counter then laughed. "Encore! Encore!" "Haknyeon, you need a hobby." "You two are it though. Seeing how your relationship develops is a wonderful pass time." Younghoon rolled his eyes while Changmin quietly laughed. "We'll come back on the weekends to keep you company, okay Haknyeon?" "Wow, you'd actually do that?" Younghoon nodded then felt accomplished having seen Haknyeon smile for once. "Well, thank you. Now it won't be so lonely." They all briefly laughed then Haknyeon went back to studying.

Younghoon couldn't help but smile whenever Changmin talked because of how much he loved his voice. "Are you listening?" "Yeah. Continue." "What did I say then?" Younghoon racked his brain for anything that could help him. "So you weren't. It's like talking to a wall." Younghoon shrugged then checked the time. "We should go. It's getting late." "Ah, but I want to be with you longer, Hoonie~." "I do too, but I'm sure you had a tiring day." Changmin leaned against him then sighed. "You make the tiredness go away." "I doubt that." "I mean it." "Honestly, both of you should just go. I can only take so much mush in a day." They both chuckled at Haknyeon's sourness and decided to heed his suggestion.

Changmin happily skipped ahead of Younghoon who didn't want this moment to end. "That reminds me." "Hm?" "Your old home. Do you guys plan on selling it?" "Yep. Somehow we managed to find another place, but it's farther from the college." "I want to see your new place." Changmin slowed down and turned to face Younghoon. "Are you sure? It's about an hour trip from here." "It's the weekend. I don't have any classes on the weekends." "If you insist."

After a long trip, they got off the bus in an area that Younghoon wasn't familiar with. "It's not far from the bus stop. Come on." He quietly followed Changmin as he took in his new surroundings. They eventually stopped at an apartment complex that had quite a few floors. They entered and took the elevator up to the 8th floor. "You live so high up." "Well, we didn't feel comfortable with who lived down below us on the other floors. They seemed really...shady." Changmin opened the front door and walked in with Younghoon trailing behind. It looked empty. One would think no one lived here at all. There were a few boxes strewn about along with a few furniture items set up and ready for use.

They entered one of the rooms and Younghoon could instantly tell it belong to Changmin. "You couldn't salvage much from your old home, right?" "Right. But, this gives us a chance to make new memories." Younghoon went back into the living room and noticed a few books laying on top of a box. One caught his eye as it had numerous colored strings on it. He picked it up but was instantly confused as it was in a language he didn't know. Regardless, he opened it up and saw a familiar looking object in it. "It couldn't be about the strings. Mom said only a few exist and they weren't anywhere near us." he thought as he continued to flip through it.

"Oh, my dad brought this book home from overseas. He said some weird lady gave it to him and told him to hold onto until he met the great great great grandson of some guy. Said the last name was Kim. My dad was confused because there are numerous Kims in the world." "Do you mind if I take this home to read?" "Go ahead, my dad won't even notice." Younghoon looked up directions to get home then bid Changmin farewell. "Well that was sudden..."
