          “Michan look at me.” the guitarist glared over the table with a small smile at the mechanic. Jae was always at ease around Minchan, sometimes too at ease, which meant the fact that Minchan was being rather mad at him because of the obvious amount of fans that seemed to be hiding behind some bushes a little ways away would probably annoy anyone. Of course Jae was immune, and Minchan was more worried abut the fact the girls had been here since early morning with no food breaks. Jae smiled a bit when he finally got his roommate to look over and suck his tongue out at him playfully.

There were annoyingly small things that they both needed to take care of at the hospital Jae’s was a bit more urgent than the other’s. Especially seeing as he’d managed to bruise a rib in a fight the other way and was still in quite a bit of pain ( he’d been told not to move last time he got one of these but he was busy this week so it wasn’t really his fault ). Either way, he’d somehow convinced Minchan to come along with him as his chaperone in case he passed out. So that’s where the pair of young adult males found themselves at the moment, seated quite close to each other in the corner of the hospital waiting room hoping to god that none of Jae’s fans noticed he was there. 

Actually the younger had managed to fall asleep. His head resting on Minchan’s shoulders as a light snore left his lips. To say the least the eighteen year old was exhausted, with the emotional turmoil of having Teddy back in the band and getting jumped in the same week, well Jae wasn’t exactly getting enough sleep at night and having Minchan by his side might have been a bit too relaxing with how exhausted he was. But the boy was stirred from his sleep by his friend when they called his name. And he grumbled, as he woke up. Pushing himself off of the older male. 

She caught herself at it again, standing in front of the other’s apartment in the late hours of the night. She was somewhat glad that the older had lived away a good way from the busy streets, making it easier for the actress to stray away from the public eye after her schedules were over for the day. And although it’s been over a month since she had spoken to Jae, Minyoung still hadn’t found the courage to face Minchan despite the fact that this was the third time this month that she had tried waiting for him. 

She was scared.

The nicotine smell was heavy. Jae wasn’t sure why he hadn’t opened the windows until Minchan came back and pulled the cigarette out of his hand tossing it to the floor before walking around the room and opening up the small windows. The younger of the two had just sat in his bed and waited for him to finish. Eyes glazed over slightly. Not quite sure what he should or could say to Minchan at a moment like this. The best thing was. He didn’t really have to speak with Minchan if he didn’t want to. He waited until the older male sat down on their ratty couch and made his way over and sat down next to him. Snuggling quickly into the older boy and closing his eyes. Relaxing. He was home. That’s what this was, this scent, this place, this feeling. He loved being around Minchan, it was the one place he actually felt at peace and as if everything was going to be alright. 

He never understood why people found it strange that his relationship with Minchan was purely platonic. Well kid of... they had sex once back in high-school but that was the only time that the two had done or thought of each other sexually as far as Jae could tell. Sure he joked around that Minchan should just come have sex with him all the time, but he never really meant it. It was just the way he expressed himself around the older male. Minchan never seemed to mind too much anyway. And did it really matter if other people understood their friendship or not? They understood their friendship. That was the important part anyway. No one else needed to be invited into their world. Jae was perfectly fine with things as they were right now. Though he knew that eventually things would change. Minchan was the type that would settle down eventually, he would make a good father, he should settle down eventually. But he didn’t like to think about that. he never liked thinking about how in the future they wouldn’t be able to be together anymore. 

            It had took quite some time to get there in the first place, most of the time in the van was spent consoling his manager that he wasn’t going to end up in the facility himself after getting dropped off. Afterall, his manager had been the one that agreed to let him have Minchan stay with him in his home. Jae never let him forget that. It helped in moment’s like these. Though he had to admit, he was a little worried that he’d been followed. So he made sure to get dropped off a little ways away, not that there really was much in either direction anyway but it would have been useful for him to walk to be able to notice these things before he actally made it there. By the time he reached the prison he’d determined that no... he was fine, no one had followed him. Or so he hoped, but he checked in to make sure they knew he was there and then went to wait outside considering apparently Minchan still had quite a few paapers to get through before getting released, He waited by a rail on the side of the jail. Ever minute feeling longer than the last as he waited quietly. So many things had happened lately. He was glad that he’d be able to see Minchan again, gain some stability back in his life. 

           But the last thing he’d expected was to be surprised when the older boy came out of the facility looking around so casually as if nothing had happened. He just stared at Minchan for a moment, as if not really believing that this was happening to him. Was his friend really free? Had that really just happened? Or was he hallucinating this? Jae stood up slowly. But he ran over and wrapped his arms around Minchan’s neck rather quickly, burring his face in his friends shoulder and keeping him close in a strange half-protective, half-vonlurable hug. It was really nothing that he could say to express how he felt at that moment, he was just glad that he could have this again. Have his friend again, hod him like this. Keep him close. God he’d missed him. 

            He pulled away just a little bit and looked up at Minchan quietly, keeping himself a breath’s length away so he could hold him again as soon as he finished speaking. “Don’t you dare ever get caught again.”
