“How long do we have to walk until we get to the apartment?” Yunho asks.
“We’re here.” Changmin says, standing in front of a rusty old looking door. Then he knocks on the door while shouting, “YAH, KIM JAEJOONG OPEN THIS DOOR UP BEFORE I KNOCK IT DOWN!”
“YAH, IF YOU BREAK MY DOOR, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT! CAN’T YOU JUST HOLD ON FOR A SECOND?” Yunho heard a voice on the other side of the door.
“Well, hurry up! I do not plan on getting mob by your neighbors!” Changmin replies back.
“YAH! My neighbors do not mob other people! It just happened that you went to the other side of the street and got mobbed!” Jaejoong rolls his eyes as he unlocks all eight locks on the door.
“Hurry up!” Changmin hissed. “It is getting late.”
“Yah, how many time do I have to tell that my side of the street is safe, you don’t have to worry.” Jaejoong slowly unlocks the last lock of the door.
“Then explain to me why do you have eight locks and a chain on your door?” Changmin asks.
“Hey, safety comes first. You never might know when danger can happen.” Jaejoong says as he unchained the chain that was connected to the wall and the door.
“Finally!” Changmin barges inside the apartment without the owner’s permission.
Yunho stares at the beauty in front of him. ‘Wow! He’s so beautiful. He is even more beautiful than any other girls that I have slept with.’ Yunho gets awe-struck by the beautiful man in front of him that he doesn’t know what is happening around him.
“Yah! You can’t just barge into other people house like that.” Jaejoong begins to lecture his friend.
“Save it!” Changmin holds his hand in the air. “I’m not here to get lectured from you, UMMA.”
“Yah!” Jaejoong hits him on the head. “I’m not your umma. I AM YOUR HYUNG!”
“But your actions speak otherwise, HYUNG.”
“YAH, YOU UNGRATEFUL CHILD!”
“SEE! YOU ADMIT IT! YOU DO ACT LIKE MY UMMA!” Changmin sticks out his tongue at his friend. “By the way, where’s my Bummie?” He looks around the apartment for his lover.
“He is not yours until Bummie accepts your feelings, which would be like 0.000000000000000000000001% that he will ever accept you.” Jaejoong glares at him. “Besides, he is MINE and FOREVER will be.”
“Ewe… You seriously need to fix that brother complex of yours.” Changmin shivers as he got the Goosebumps.
“It’s true! Bummie will always be mine because he loves me more than you.” Jaejoong begins to act childish as he sticks out his tongue at his friend.
“Hey Yun, why are you standing over there?” Changmin finally notices that his best friend isn’t right next to his side but at the door instead. “Come inside before you get mob.” He drags his best friend inside the apartment and slams the door.
“MY POOR DOOR!” Jaejoong cried.
“Oh boo hoo… It is just a freaking door.” Changmin rolls his eyes.
“YEAH, THAT HAPPENS TO BE THE SIXTH DOOR THAT I HAD TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF YOUR RECKLESS ACTION!” Jaejoong shouts at him.
“Not my fault that you live in a dumpster.” Changmin shrugs his shoulders.
“Why you…” Jaejoong glares at his friend.
“Hyung, we’re back!” Junsu and Kibum shout as they came back with handful of groceries.
“BUMMIE!” Changmin runs toward him and gives him a tight hug. “I MISS YOU!”
“Ewe! What is this retarded doing here?” Kibum struggles in the tight grip. “HYUNG, HELP ME! YOUR POOR DONGSAENG IS DYING!”
“YAH! IF YOU DARE TO KILL MY BUMMIE, YOU ARE D-E-A-D!” Jaejoong shouts at Changmin with a tone that can kill him.
Immediately, Changmin lets go off his lover and hides behind him. “Save me from your crazy brother who has a brother complex.”
“Save yourself, you jerk!” Kibum steps on his feet so Changmin can let go of him and quickly walks to the kitchen with his second older brother.
“OW!” Changmin cried in pain as he hops on one foot while holding onto his other foot.
Jaejoong smirks. “Serve you right for taking advantage of my precious baby brother.”
“YAH! HE IS A GROWN BOY! HE CANNOT BE YOUR PRECIOUS BABY BROTHER FOREVER!” Changmin shouts back at him with a glare.
Jaejoong chooses to ignore him and focuses his attention to his other guest. “So, you’re Yunho, the brat’s best friend.” He walks around him and looking at him from head to toe. “You’re dressing very fashionable to be in this area.”
Yunho holds in his breathe when the beautiful lad approached him and observing him from head to toe.
“Jae, what the hell are you doing to my best friend?” Changmin hissed when he saw that his best friend is getting nervous all of a sudden.
“Nothing, oh, nothing at all.” Jaejoong smiles at the rich young man. “Hi, my name is Kim Jaejoong.”
Yunho sighs in relief. “Jung Yunho. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
“Okay, since we got the introduction done. Shall we move on?” Changmin decided to join in the conversation just in case there is a problem.
“Hold on a second.” Jaejoong walks to his bedroom to grab his notebook and walks back to the living room.
“Are we ready now?” Changmin asks, when he saw that his friend has returned from his bedroom.
“One second.” Jaejoong walks into the kitchen to see that his two brothers are messing around in the kitchen. “Yah! What are you two doing in the kitchen?”
“UH-OH!” Junsu and Kibum gasp in surprise. “We’re dead!”
“Oh, you’re dead alright.” Jaejoong becomes furious when he saw a huge mess in the kitchen. “How many times did I tell you to not make a mess in the kitchen? You know that we have roaches and stuff here!”
“MIANHAE!” Kibum softly apologizes to his oldest brother. He hates it when his oldest brother is angry especially when he is yelling. “We didn’t mean to mess the kitchen up. We were trying to help since you have guest over. We thought that we can take care of dinner.”
“Yeah, what Bum says. Besides, don’t you have business to talk to with that man that is sitting next to Changmin.” Junsu says.
Jaejoong groans. “That can wait. I’ll deal with you two later also. Let’s just clean this place up before more ugly insects infest this place.”
“Okay, but we are deeply sorry.” Kibum apologizes once again.
Jaejoong heaves a sigh. “It’s okay, Bummie. I’m not mad anymore. Come here.” He grabs onto his youngest brother arm and pulls him into a hug. Then he gives his brother a peck on the cheek.
“Wow… He sure loves his brother a lot.” Yunho mutters to his best friend.
“That’s what I meant by brother complex!” Changmin cried. “He does things that people will misunderstand their relationship.”
“But that’s just brotherly bonding, right?” Yunho looks at his best friend. “Don’t tell me that you are jealous because of their family bonding.”
Changmin hangs his head low. “I’m a shame, aren’t I?”
Yunho gasps in surprise. “Y-you’re jealous of that?”
“Yeah.” Changmin heaves a sigh. “Pathetic, right?”
Yunho shakes his head. “It’s love, right?”
Changmin smiles at his best friend and looks at his lover. “Yeah, it’s love.”
“Love can do crazy things to you without you even knowing it.”
“Yeah, it does.” Changmin laughs. “Oh god, I never thought that I would be talking to you about this.”
“Hey, when you need a brother, I am here for you.”
“For sure…” Changmin gives his best friend the brightest smile ever. “Thanks, bro.”
“What are you two doing here?” Junsu looks at the two young men suspiciously. “Hyung, I’ve caught two peeping toms.”
Jaejoong heaves a sigh. “That Changmin is always peeping on us.”
“And he brought a friend along with him too.” Kibum glares at Changmin deadly.
Changmin yelps in fear and hides behind his best friend. “I hate it when he uses that glare at me. It reminds me of someone who lives here.”
“YAH! Don’t even dare talking about me behind my back.” Jaejoong glares at him evilly.
“See…” Changmin points out. “What I mean.”
Yunho laughs. “I guess that is something runs down the family.”
Changmin heaves a sigh. “I’ll be dead by the time I turn 30.”
Yunho laughs even louder. “Min, you’re only like what 27?”
“That’s what I mean!” Changmin pouts. “At this rate, I’ll die without knowing the happiness of love.”
Yunho laughs while patting his best friend’s back. “Cheer up, Min-ah. I think he just needs time to accept you.”
“How many more time does he need?” Changmin groans. “I’ve been chasing after him for six years already.”
“Wow… That is long.” Yunho whistles. “But love doesn’t have a time limit, right?”
“I hate you.” Changmin groans.
“I love you too.” Yunho chuckles. He is happy to see this other side of his best friend that he hasn’t witness at all.
“Ahem.” Junsu fakes a cough. “Sorry to disturb this bonding of yours, but if you don’t mind, can you two move out of the way.”
Changmin and Yunho did not notice that they are blocking the entrance of the kitchen. “Oh… Right.” Then the two best friends move out of the way for the middle sibling of the Kim’s.
“What are you two still standing there for?” Jaejoong asks.
“Uh…” Yunho stutters, looking around the kitchen and sees that the place is a total mess. “Do you need help?”
“You’re a guest.” Jaejoong looks at him. “I don’t let guest do things at my house.”
“LIAR!” Changmin shouts in protest. “YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME WASH THE DISHES AND CLEAN UP THE WHOLE APARTMENT!”
“Since when you are a guest, Minnie?” Jaejoong asks.
“Hey, if I am not a guest than what am I?” Changmin fights back.
“Let’s see, does a guest come here every fucking time whenever he has the time to do so?” Jaejoong asks. “Does a guest come here and have sleep overs when he feels like it?” Then he continues on with the list of the things that his friend had done over the past six years. “And does a guest come over just to peep on-”
“Okay, okay, I get it now. I am not a guest.” Changmin immediately interrupts his friend. “You don’t have to list all of the things that I did for the last six years, geez.”
“Then I rest my case.” Jaejoong proudly announced.
“Whatever.” Changmin carelessly respond back. “We should get back to our business unless you want us to sleep over.” He smiles at his friend mischievously.
“No.” Jaejoong shakes his head. “That isn’t necessary. Besides, where will you guys sleep?”
“In the bedroom, duh!” Changmin says.
“Do I need to remind you?”
“What?”
“THIS APARTMENT HAS A SINGLE BEDROOM!” Jaejoong shouts at him.
“Oh…” Changmin slaps himself forgetting about that. “Well, we can share the room.”
“No, thanks.” Jaejoong rejects the idea. “It is crowded with you in the room already. Adding another one, I don’t think it is a good idea.”
“Fine.” Changmin pouts.
“Ahem.” Yunho fakes the cough to catch the two friends’ attention. “Shall we begin our business?”
“Yeah, we should since the owner doesn’t want us to stay over for the night.” Changmin sighs.
The three young men all settle down on the old looking couch that is located in the middle of the living room.
“So, these are my conditions while I am acting as your “boyfriend”.” Jaejoong says, handing him a piece of paper.
Yunho holds onto the paper and read the condition out loud. “1. Have the money by tomorrow. 2. No touching, kissing, and so on. (Only when it is necessary) 3. I still keep my 2 jobs 4. My brothers are to be with me in every place that I had to attend.”
“Jae, are you crazy?” Changmin asks his friend. “What kind of conditions are those?”
“What? What is wrong with those conditions?”Jaejoong asks with a pout.
“Cute.” Yunho mumbles as he tries not to laugh. “Uh… Well, I heard some stories from Min about needing the money. So, number 1 is accomplished. I have sent my men to give those loan sharks the money. As for number 2 and 3, I will follow it. However, I have a problem with number 4.”
“What’s the problem?” Jaejoong asks. “My brothers aren’t that old to stay home alone.”
“BULLSHIT!” Changmin cussed. “Junsu is like what 28? And Kibum is 27. Are you seriously saying that they are still babies?”
“Yes!” Jaejoong shouts back.
Changmin rolls his eyes. “Seriously, I hope while you are “dating” Yunho, your sickness will wear off.”
“Okay.” Yunho had listened to the other side’s lame reason. “I’ll think about it, okay?”
“Whatever.” Jaejoong scoffs.
“Well, since you had some conditions. I think it would be fair if I have some conditions too, right?” Yunho asks.
“Whatever.” Jaejoong passes him a notebook and a pen.
Yunho shakes his head. “I don’t need it. My conditions are very simple.”
“I’m listening.” Jaejoong says.
“Well, I only have one condition so far.” Yunho says. “Well, maybe two depends on how you are looking at it.”
“Just tell me what it is already.” Jaejoong says.
“Very well.” Yunho heaves a sigh. “Tomorrow, you are going to meet my parents and grandmother.”
“Okay.” Jaejoong carelessly replied since he figured that he needs to show his face to his family members.
“The second one is that, I want you to move out of this apartment.” Yunho told him what he needs to say.
“WHAT! WHY?” Jaejoong asks him in shock. “I’m not going to move in with you! I thought we are just pretending to be boyfriends not husbands!”
“Whoa!” Yunho laughs at his sudden outburst. “Who says that you are moving in with me?”
“B-but you said-”
“Okay, let me explain what I mean.” Yunho explains what he meant by moving out. “I own a place not far from where I’m currently living. That apartment has two bedrooms. It is in a better condition than where you are currently living. I just want you to be safe and unharmed when you are under my care.”
“You said you want to me to move so I can be safe and unharmed when I’m under your care.” Jaejoong repeats his last words. “Then what would happen if I am no longer under your care?”
“I think what Yunho is trying to say, he is giving you a place to stay that is much better than this filthy place.” Changmin explains to his friend in a way he can understand. “Take it as a gift for helping him out.”
Yunho nods his head in agreement. “Besides, I hardly use that apartment. It will be a waste if no one uses that place.”
“Then why did you buy it in the first place.” Jaejoong scoffs as he doesn’t understand rich people way of thinking.
“It was close to where I used to work at as a part-time job while attending college at that time.” Yunho explains. “Once in a while, I would use that place but ever since I work in my family business, I don’t have time to go over there anymore.”
“He’s currently living in a condo not that far from where the apartment is located.” Changmin continues to explain to his friend about the offer. “As for cleaning, you don’t need to worry about it. Yunho have a maid who goes to that apartment and clean. I believe she goes there once every week even Yunho doesn’t use that place anymore.”
“Yeah, but I told her to go there like once a month now. However, if you take this offer, I can ask her to go back once every week.” Yunho says.
“So, you all want me to move out of this place and live in this apartment that someone happened to abandon it.” Jaejoong asks, trying to make this clear as possible.
“Yup.” Yunho and Changmin nod their head.
“How about the rent?” Junsu barges into the living room and unexpectedly joins in the conversation.
“Free.” Yunho replies back with a smile. “I am giving you the place for free.”
“Why?” Jaejoong looks at the stranger suspicious. “Why are you doing this? We don’t even know each other at all.”
Yunho shrugs his shoulders. “I can’t explain this feeling that I am having, but I know for the fact that I want to help you out with your burden.”
Jaejoong looks at his two brothers, who are telling him to accept the offer. However, he doesn’t like the fact that he will be living in a place for free. “Okay, I’ll accept, but under one condition.”
“Okay.” Yunho nods his head. “What is the condition?”
“I cannot accept the fact that I am living in a place for free. Therefore, I would like you to name the price for the rent of the apartment.”
Yunho heaves a sigh. “Very well. If you insist.”
“WHAT! YUN, ARE YOU SERIOUS?” Changmin asks him. “This wasn’t the plan.” He whispers to his best friend’s ear.
“Leave it to me. I know what I’m doing.” Yunho whispers back. “Okay, so you want to pay rent for the place. I have a price in mind.”
“What’s the price?” Jaejoong asks.
“Since it is a two bedroom apartment… the price range should be about 1,000 dollars. However, since you are helping me cover with my lies and whatnot. Therefore, I’ll less the price to 730 dollars per month.”
“YAY! We’re moving to a different apartment!” Junsu and Kibum both jump up and down in happiness. “No more restless sleeps!”
Jaejoong shakes his head as he smiles at his two silly brothers.
“Anyways, I happened to overhear that this offer got to do with a plan?” Kibum stops acting silly and became serious all of a sudden while glaring at Changmin.
Changmin gulps his saliva. “So, you heard.”
“Yes, something about this is not the plan?” Kibum crosses his arms over his chest. “Please explain.”
“Well, I’ve heard that Jae wants to find a place on the other side of the country. However, he gave up on the idea because of the enormous amount of debt that he has to pay. So, I talked to Yunho about it. We went apartment hunting after coming with an agreement.” Changmin explains.
“So, the apartment isn’t really yours in the first place.” Jaejoong looks at them.
Yunho shakes his head. “But I do want to help you out because you are helping me out with this lie. Therefore, I thought that getting this apartment is something that I can do for you.”
Jaejoong nods his head as he understands the situation a little better.
“So, how long did you have the apartment?” Junsu asks in curiosity.
“Uh… last week.” Changmin answered as he thought about it.
“Then about the maid?” Kibum asks.
“It was a little lie.” They both answered.
“A little lie?” The three brothers ask.
“Well, we are planning to hire a maid or use one of our maids and just give her a raise to clean the apartment out.” Yunho replies.
“Well, that’s all we need to know.” Junsu and Kibum give each other high fives.
Changmin groans. “We got tricked by two mischievous brothers.”
Yunho laughs. “And yet, you still love one of them.”
Changmin hangs his head low. “Yeah.”
Kibum pretends to barf. “Ewe… Did that fag just admits that he is in love with me?”
Junsu laughs at his brother and whispers to him. “I know you love him too. Why don’t you stop your childish games and accept him?”
“As much as I hate to say this but Su is right.” Jaejoong joins in the conversation. “I think it is about time that you just give into him. He is my friend after all.”
“Hyung, you can’t be serious.” Kibum whines.
“Hey, I’m fine with you dating Minnie because I know how Minnie is like. It is not like I’m approving you to some stranger that I do not know.” Jaejoong pats on his youngest brother’s head. “Think about it.”
“What happened to our brother who has a brother complex?” Kibum cried. “I like that brother more than this one.”
Jaejoong laughs. “That brother is still here. It is just he has learned something while his friend was here.”
“Oh, and what did he learned?” Junsu asks in curiosity.
“That his two brothers are old enough to take care of themselves now. They do not need this old man to take care of them anymore.”
“I OBJECT!” Kibum shouts, forgetting that they were whispering earlier.
Changmin looks at lover with an eyebrow raise. “You object to what?”
“Nice job, Bum.” His two brothers roll their eyes.
“Nothing. It is family business. Outsiders are not allowed to know.” Kibum lied.
Changmin heaves a sigh. “Fine, just you wait. I’ll make your family business my business one of these days.”
“Oh… Is that a proposal I heard.” Junsu squeals in excitement.
“HYUNG!” Kibum blushed.
“Look, Jae hyung! Our little Bummie is blushing.” Junsu teases his brother.
“You guys suck!” With that said, Kibum marches back to his shared room.
With that action of the youngest member, made everyone in the room laugh like they are friends from the start.
“How long do we have to walk until we get to the apartment?” Yunho asks.
“We’re here.” Changmin says, standing in front of a rusty old looking door. Then he knocks on the door while shouting, “YAH, KIM JAEJOONG OPEN THIS DOOR UP BEFORE I KNOCK IT DOWN!”
“YAH, IF YOU BREAK MY DOOR, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT! CAN’T YOU JUST HOLD ON FOR A SECOND?” Yunho heard a voice on the other side of the door.
“Well, hurry up! I do not plan on getting mob by your neighbors!” Changmin replies back.
“YAH! My neighbors do not mob other people! It just happened that you went to the other side of the street and got mobbed!” Jaejoong rolls his eyes as he unlocks all eight locks on the door.
“Hurry up!” Changmin hissed. “It is getting late.”
“Yah, how many time do I have to tell that my side of the street is safe, you don’t have to worry.” Jaejoong slowly unlocks the last lock of the door.
“Then explain to me why do you have eight locks and a chain on your door?” Changmin asks.
“Hey, safety comes first. You never might know when danger can happen.” Jaejoong says as he unchained the chain that was connected to the wall and the door.
“Finally!” Changmin barges inside the apartment without the owner’s permission.
Yunho stares at the beauty in front of him. ‘Wow! He’s so beautiful. He is even more beautiful than any other girls that I have slept with.’ Yunho gets awe-struck by the beautiful man in front of him that he doesn’t know what is happening around him.
“Yah! You can’t just barge into other people house like that.” Jaejoong begins to lecture his friend.
“Save it!” Changmin holds his hand in the air. “I’m not here to get lectured from you, UMMA.”
“Yah!” Jaejoong hits him on the head. “I’m not your umma. I AM YOUR HYUNG!”
“But your actions speak otherwise, HYUNG.”
“YAH, YOU UNGRATEFUL CHILD!”
“SEE! YOU ADMIT IT! YOU DO ACT LIKE MY UMMA!” Changmin sticks out his tongue at his friend. “By the way, where’s my Bummie?” He looks around the apartment for his lover.
“He is not yours until Bummie accepts your feelings, which would be like 0.000000000000000000000001% that he will ever accept you.” Jaejoong glares at him. “Besides, he is MINE and FOREVER will be.”

“Hey Yun, why are you standing over there?” Changmin finally notices that his best friend isn’t right next to his side but at the door instead. “Come inside before you get mob.” He drags his best friend inside the apartment and slams the door.
“MY POOR DOOR!” Jaejoong cried.
“Oh boo hoo… It is just a freaking door.” Changmin rolls his eyes.
“YEAH, THAT HAPPENS TO BE THE SIXTH DOOR THAT I HAD TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF YOUR RECKLESS ACTION!” Jaejoong shouts at him.
“Not my fault that you live in a dumpster.” Changmin shrugs his shoulders.
“Why you…” Jaejoong glares at his friend.
“Hyung, we’re back!” Junsu and Kibum shout as they came back with handful of groceries.
“BUMMIE!” Changmin runs toward him and gives him a tight hug. “I MISS YOU!”
“Ewe! What is this retarded doing here?” Kibum struggles in the tight grip. “HYUNG, HELP ME! YOUR POOR DONGSAENG IS DYING!”
“YAH! IF YOU DARE TO KILL MY BUMMIE, YOU ARE D-E-A-D!” Jaejoong shouts at Changmin with a tone that can kill him.
Immediately, Changmin lets go off his lover and hides behind him. “Save me from your crazy brother who has a brother complex.”

“Okay, okay, I get it now. I am not a guest.” Changmin immediately interrupts his friend. “You don’t have to list all of the things that I did for the last six years, geez.”
“Then I rest my case.” Jaejoong proudly announced.
“Whatever.” Changmin carelessly respond back. “We should get back to our business unless you want us to sleep over.” He smiles at his friend mischievously.
“No.” Jaejoong shakes his head. “That isn’t necessary. Besides, where will you guys sleep?”
“In the bedroom, duh!” Changmin says.
“Do I need to remind you?”
“What?”
“THIS APARTMENT HAS A SINGLE BEDROOM!” Jaejoong shouts at him.
“Oh…” Changmin slaps himself forgetting about that. “Well, we can share the room.”
“No, thanks.” Jaejoong rejects the idea. “It is crowded with you in the room already. Adding another one, I don’t think it is a good idea.”
“Fine.” Changmin pouts.
“Ahem.” Yunho fakes the cough to catch the two friends’ attention. “Shall we begin our business?”
“Yeah, we should since the owner doesn’t want us to stay over for the night.” Changmin sighs.
The three young men all settle down on the old looking couch that is located in the middle of the living room.
“So, these are my conditions while I am acting as your “boyfriend”.” Jaejoong says, handing him a piece of paper.
Yunho holds onto the paper and read the condition out loud. “1. Have the money by tomorrow. 2. No touching, kissing, and so on. (Only when it is necessary) 3. I still keep my 2 jobs 4. My brothers are to be with me in every place that I had to attend.”
“Jae, are you crazy?” Changmin asks his friend. “What kind of conditions are those?”
“What? What is wrong with those conditions?”Jaejoong asks with a pout.
“Cute.” Yunho mumbles as he tries not to laugh. “Uh… Well, I heard some stories from Min about needing the money. So, number 1 is accomplished. I have sent my men to give those loan sharks the money. As for number 2 and 3, I will follow it. However, I have a problem with number 4.”
“What’s the problem?” Jaejoong asks. “My brothers aren’t that old to stay home alone.”
“BULLSHIT!” Changmin cussed. “Junsu is like what 28? And Kibum is 27. Are you seriously saying that they are still babies?”
“Yes!” Jaejoong shouts back.
Changmin rolls his eyes. “Seriously, I hope while you are “dating” Yunho, your sickness will wear off.”
“Okay.” Yunho had listened to the other side’s lame reason. “I’ll think about it, okay?”
“Whatever.” Jaejoong scoffs.
“Well, since you had some conditions. I think it would be fair if I have some conditions too, right?” Yunho asks.
“Whatever.” Jaejoong passes him a notebook and a pen.
Yunho shakes his head. “I don’t need it. My conditions are very simple.”
“I’m listening.” Jaejoong says.
“Well, I only have one condition so far.” Yunho says. “Well, maybe two depends on how you are looking at it.”
“Just tell me what it is already.” Jaejoong says.
“Very well.” Yunho heaves a sigh. “Tomorrow, you are going to meet my parents and grandmother.”
“Okay.” Jaejoong carelessly replied since he figured that he needs to show his face to his family members.
“The second one is that, I want you to move out of this apartment.” Yunho told him what he needs to say.
“WHAT! WHY?” Jaejoong asks him in shock. “I’m not going to move in with you! I thought we are just pretending to be boyfriends not husbands!”
“Whoa!” Yunho laughs at his sudden outburst. “Who says that you are moving in with me?”
“B-but you said-”
“Okay, let me explain what I mean.” Yunho explains what he meant by moving out. “I own a place not far from where I’m currently living. That apartment has two bedrooms. It is in a better condition than where you are currently living. I just want you to be safe and unharmed when you are under my care.”
“You said you want to me to move so I can be safe and unharmed when I’m under your care.” Jaejoong repeats his last words. “Then what would happen if I am no longer under your care?”
“I think what Yunho is trying to say, he is giving you a place to stay that is much better than this filthy place.” Changmin explains to his friend in a way he can understand. “Take it as a gift for helping him out.”
Yunho nods his head in agreement. “Besides, I hardly use that apartment. It will be a waste if no one uses that place.”
“Then why did you buy it in the first place.” Jaejoong scoffs as he doesn’t understand rich people way of thinking.
“It was close to where I used to work at as a part-time job while attending college at that time.” Yunho explains. “Once in a while, I would use that place but ever since I work in my family business, I don’t have time to go over there anymore.”
“He’s currently living in a condo not that far from where the apartment is located.” Changmin continues to explain to his friend about the offer. “As for cleaning, you don’t need to worry about it. Yunho have a maid who goes to that apartment and clean. I believe she goes there once every week even Yunho doesn’t use that place anymore.”
“Yeah, but I told her to go there like once a month now. However, if you take this offer, I can ask her to go back once every week.” Yunho says.
“So, you all want me to move out of this place and live in this apartment that someone happened to abandon it.” Jaejoong asks, trying to make this clear as possible.
“Yup.” Yunho and Changmin nod their head.
“How about the rent?” Junsu barges into the living room and unexpectedly joins in the conversation.
“Free.” Yunho replies back with a smile. “I am giving you the place for free.”
“Why?” Jaejoong looks at the stranger suspicious. “Why are you doing this? We don’t even know each other at all.”
Yunho shrugs his shoulders. “I can’t explain this feeling that I am having, but I know for the fact that I want to help you out with your burden.”
Jaejoong looks at his two brothers, who are telling him to accept the offer. However, he doesn’t like the fact that he will be living in a place for free. “Okay, I’ll accept, but under one condition.”
“Okay.” Yunho nods his head. “What is the condition?”
“I cannot accept the fact that I am living in a place for free. Therefore, I would like you to name the price for the rent of the apartment.”
Yunho heaves a sigh. “Very well. If you insist.”
“WHAT! YUN, ARE YOU SERIOUS?” Changmin asks him. “This wasn’t the plan.” He whispers to his best friend’s ear.
“Leave it to me. I know what I’m doing.” Yunho whispers back. “Okay, so you want to pay rent for the place. I have a price in mind.”
“What’s the price?” Jaejoong asks.
“Since it is a two bedroom apartment… the price range should be about 1,000 dollars. However, since you are helping me cover with my lies and whatnot. Therefore, I’ll less the price to 730 dollars per month.”
“YAY! We’re moving to a different apartment!” Junsu and Kibum both jump up and down in happiness. “No more restless sleeps!”
Jaejoong shakes his head as he smiles at his two silly brothers.
“Anyways, I happened to overhear that this offer got to do with a plan?” Kibum stops acting silly and became serious all of a sudden while glaring at Changmin.
Changmin gulps his saliva. “So, you heard.”
“Yes, something about this is not the plan?” Kibum crosses his arms over his chest. “Please explain.”
“Well, I’ve heard that Jae wants to find a place on the other side of the country. However, he gave up on the idea because of the enormous amount of debt that he has to pay. So, I talked to Yunho about it. We went apartment hunting after coming with an agreement.” Changmin explains.
“So, the apartment isn’t really yours in the first place.” Jaejoong looks at them.
Yunho shakes his head. “But I do want to help you out because you are helping me out with this lie. Therefore, I thought that getting this apartment is something that I can do for you.”
Jaejoong nods his head as he understands the situation a little better.
“So, how long did you have the apartment?” Junsu asks in curiosity.
“Uh… last week.” Changmin answered as he thought about it.
“Then about the maid?” Kibum asks.
“It was a little lie.” They both answered.
“A little lie?” The three brothers ask.
“Well, we are planning to hire a maid or use one of our maids and just give her a raise to clean the apartment out.” Yunho replies.
“Well, that’s all we need to know.” Junsu and Kibum give each other high fives.
Changmin groans. “We got tricked by two mischievous brothers.”
Yunho laughs. “And yet, you still love one of them.”
Changmin hangs his head low. “Yeah.”
Kibum pretends to barf. “Ewe… Did that fag just admits that he is in love with me?”
Junsu laughs at his brother and whispers to him. “I know you love him too. Why don’t you stop your childish games and accept him?”
“As much as I hate to say this but Su is right.” Jaejoong joins in the conversation. “I think it is about time that you just give into him. He is my friend after all.”
“Hyung, you can’t be serious.” Kibum whines.
“Hey, I’m fine with you dating Minnie because I know how Minnie is like. It is not like I’m approving you to some stranger that I do not know.” Jaejoong pats on his youngest brother’s head. “Think about it.”
“What happened to our brother who has a brother complex?” Kibum cried. “I like that brother more than this one.”
Jaejoong laughs. “That brother is still here. It is just he has learned something while his friend was here.”
“Oh, and what did he learned?” Junsu asks in curiosity.
“That his two brothers are old enough to take care of themselves now. They do not need this old man to take care of them anymore.”
“I OBJECT!” Kibum shouts, forgetting that they were whispering earlier.
Changmin looks at lover with an eyebrow raise. “You object to what?”
“Nice job, Bum.” His two brothers roll their eyes.
“Nothing. It is family business. Outsiders are not allowed to know.” Kibum lied.
Changmin heaves a sigh. “Fine, just you wait. I’ll make your family business my business one of these days.”
“Oh… Is that a proposal I heard.” Junsu squeals in excitement.
“HYUNG!” Kibum blushed.
“Look, Jae hyung! Our little Bummie is blushing.” Junsu teases his brother.
“You guys suck!” With that said, Kibum marches back to his shared room.
With that action of the youngest member, made everyone in the room laugh like they are friends from the start.
