oooOOOooo

-Jung Corp Building-

A black Lamborghini pulled to a stop right in front of the main lobby. A tall young man in suit got out of the car and went straight into the building. Every employer and employee bowed their heads when the man walks pass them. The man also replied with a nod and a small smile. The man entered an elevator then pressed number 87. Once the elevator has reached its destiny, the man walked with wide strides towards a certain room. He went in and flopped down onto his chair behind his desk while loosening his tie. Not so long after, a pretty high class woman went in.

"What is it, Vic?" asked the man while straightening his back.

"You have a meeting with the Choi Corp in 15 minutes," answered the woman formally.

"Alright. You may go…"

"Yes, sir…" replied the woman then bowed politely before went away but before she exited the door, another young man in suit entered and walked casually towards the CEO.

"'Sap, Chun?" asked the man behind the desk once his secretary has closed the door.

"You look tired hyung…" commented Yoochun right after he leaned his butt at the desk next to his hyung's chair.

"I'm not tired. I'm just bored. And a little bit anxious for tonight. I can't wait to see Changmin again…" answered Yunho then threw a small smile towards Yoochun.

"I guess my sweet pretty little brother has taken down the once cold-hearted unaffectionate tiger I see…" said Yoochun sarcastically and made the older man scoffed.

"Yeah he did well. I was taken down right at our very first eye contact…" said Yunho as his thought drift back to his first encounter with Changmin at the campus hall.

"Just don't touch him too often and don't kiss him too often. He's still innocent…" warned Yoochun with dark aura around him. It's a fact that Yoochun is quite protective towards his little brother. Lay a finger on Changmin and you'll end up booking a one way train ticket to hell. Everybody who knows Yoochun know this one fact pretty well. If Yunho hadn't known Yoochun for long, he might have been freaked out. Instead, Yunho replied him with an understanding laugh.

"God! Come on Chun! He's twenty years old! He's legal, man!" retorted Yunho in the matter of fact-ly.

"He's still my little baby brother!" huffed Yoochun while pouting cutely.

"Stop being such a brother complex, Chun – Yunho commented as he smile tenderly – As for your information Changmin was the one who always make the first move. Well not always, but most of the time…" added Yunho making the younger one widened his eyes in shock.

"Changmin-i? Uri Changmin-i?!" asked Yoochun in disbelief.

"Mmhm…"

"What have you done to him?!" asked Yoochun exaggeratedly.

"What do you mean what have I done? – Yunho eyed his hoobae confusedly – I've done nothing…"

"Liar! You must've done something to him! Like using some voodoo or something!" exclaimed Yoochun still exaggeratedly. Yunho rolled his eyes and head irritatedly.

"For God sakes Yoochun, I didn't! and did you forget that I'm a Christian? I don't believe on such things…!" denied Yunho honestly.

"My baby Minnie has grown up…!" stated Yoochun while sobbing as exaggerated as ever like a girl who lose her virginity to a stranger.

"Holy Mother of God! Yoochun! – Yunho shouted in annoyance – Will you please shut the fuck up? Man! How come you're so annoying? And you've got that Junso boy already! So it's time for you to let Changmin go…" added Yunho still with his risen voice. Making the oldest of the Shim family startled. Well, here comes the real cold-hearted unaffectionate tiger. Annoyed him a little bit more and you'll be a dead meat for sure.

"Mian…" said Yoochun almost whispering. The tiger sighed then shook his head a little.

"It's fine. I just want one thing from you…"

"Mwoga?"

"You need to deal with your brother complex problem or it will troubled Changmin in the future. I don't mind that you're over protective to him but don't be possessive, Chun. He needs some space to breath…" explained Yunho carefully not to hurt Yoochun's feeling. The Shim's CEO sighed while looking outside the window wall behind Yunho.

"Ara. It's just that… It's hard to let him go when all of your life you've been growing up together and you know too that Changmin spends most of his time with me because of our parent's work…" excused Yoochun in the matter of fact.

"I know. I didn't mean to upset you…" commented Yunho sincerely.

"Aniya… - Yoochun chuckled lightly then patted Yunho on the shoulder – Actually, I'm happy that Changmin is with you right now…"

"Thanks man…" thanked Yunho while showing his handsome half smile.

"Alright now let's go! We better go to the meeting room now. You don't want your plan for tonight got ruined, do you?" asked Yoochun teasingly and straightened his body.

"Sure! Let's go…!" replied Yunho while standing up and fixed his suit. He walked towards Yoochun who already stood by the door.

"You came here early by the way. I thought your schedules on Shim Corp was quite packed…" commented Yunho half way to the door.

"Well, I need to confirm about tonight's event of my soon to be brother-in-law is fixed of else my innocent little brother will break down for sure…" replied Yoochun teasingly.

"Dork…!" said Yunho with a grin on his face while hitting Yoochun's arm playfully. So they walked to the meeting room while insulting each other playfully.

"Jerk…!" replied Yoochun back while walking out.

"Stupid…!" said Yunho again. His tone was full of laughter.

"Cheesy…!"

"Brother complex…!" said Yunho and made Yoochun's ears twitched.

"None of your business!" replied Yoochun then huffed with puffing cheeks while throwing his head to the opposite of Yunho's direction. But that only made the Jung Corp CEO laughed hardly.

oooOOOooo

-Shim's residence, at night-

"For God cakes Changmin! Will you please pick one of the clothes please?! – Kyuhyun half shouted at his best friend – its six thirty and you've been rummaging you clothes all day! Haven't you decided yet?" asked Kyuhyun who started to get annoyed by his best friend's last activity.

"But I want to make the best impression, Kyu…" whined Changmin who's now fitting two clothes in front of the mirror on his wardrobe.

"Oh! Believe me Changmin, you've already put him under your spell and I bet he wouldn't even hesitate to die for you…" commented Kyuhyun full of sarcasm.

"That's not helping at all Kyu. I'm frustrated here! It's our second date since two weeks ago and I don't want to disappoint him…" said Changmin desperately then sat at the edge of his bed right beside Kyuhyun. He sighed and puffed his cheeks cutely then stared at the older man with a very irresistible puppy eyes. The said man only scoffed while rolling his head then decided to ignore the Bambi and played with his phone instead. Kyuhyun let Changmin to roamed over his wardrobe again while texted Yoochun.

From : Kyu

To : Chun hyung

Yah hyung! Just where the heck is Yunho going to take him?!

From : Chun

To : Kyu

It's supposed to be a secret so I won't tell you.

From : Kyu

To : Chun hyung

It's not a matter of secrets now! Dammit! He's been roaming at his wardrobe for hours and haven't find anything suitable. And I bet he'd be begging me to help him in a matter of seconds! If you don't tell me now I swear I'll tell Junsu about your habits to smoke!

Kyuhyun could imagine the pout that must be on Yoochun's lips right now but nonetheless, Changmin's brother finally tell him on where Yunho's going to take his best friend. And just as expected, Changmin gave up on fitting his clother and pouting all around. He sat beside him again and stared at him again with a much more adorable puppy eyes (Kyuhyun called it the killer puppy eyes 'cause as far as he knows, no one has ever succeed on resisting that puppy eyes. Even kyuhyun himself).

"Yah, Kyu-ah… - Changmin called right after he hugged one of Kyunhyun's arms – Ne, Kyu-ah…" called Changmin again.

"Tsk! Mwoya?" asked Kyuhyun as he pulled his arm off.

"Kyuuuuuuu~~~~~!" whined the Bambi while pouting.

"Aissh…! What do you want?!" asked Kyuhyun not so really pissed off. FYI, no one could stay angry at the adorable innocent Shim Changmin. Keep that in mind. Changmin grinned happily then hugged Kyunhyun by the waist.

"You've been in a relationship with that Choi Siwon guy for 2 years right?"

"So?" asked Kyuhyun with one of his eyebrows lifted.

"Well, you've been going in a various dates with him. And what kind of outfit you usually wear?"

"Depends on where we're going to…"

"Yunnie-hyung didn't tell me where. He just said that it's something special…"

"HHmmm… - Kyuhyun tapped his chin while pretend that he's thinking – looking at the whole situation here, he might take you to an elite place…"

"Really? What should I wear then?" asked Changmin quite enthusiastically.

"Stand in front of me…" ordered Kyuhyun and followed by Changmin obediently. Kyuhyun tap his chin with his forefinger while looking at his best friend up and down.

"Hm… Seeing at your hair, I guess you'll look good in slight gothic…" commented Kyuhyun still eying Changmin up and down. The Bambi made an innocent confused expression while touching his hair.

"What's with my hair?"

"It almost touches your shoulder and your bangs has grew a bit longer. Almost reaching your eyes. I can do your hair like manga style…" answered Kyuhyun quite enthusiastic.

"Okay then…! – Changmin replied with a witty grin – You're the fashion kiss. I'll let you do all the work…" said the younger then gave his best friend a thumb's up.

"Let the fun begin…!" cheered Kyuhyun then began to pick some outfit.

After a few minutes of tossing and throwing some clothes and trousers, Kyuhyun finally found a suitable outfit of his best friend. He took the outfit and pushed it towards Changmin who gladly accepted it. The older man ushered the Bambi to changed quickly 'cause he still has to put some light make up and do his hair. Changmin changed right there without bothering to go to the bathroom.

"So? How do I look?" asked Changmin after he put on Kyuhyun's chosen outfit. The elder eyed him up and down while tapping his chin for the thousands time then nod.

"You're good. Now sit down here and let me complete my job…" replied Kyuhyun while pushing Changmin to sat at the edge of the bed.

"You're not done yet?" asked Changmin confusedly.

"Of course not…! You need some little touch up for your face…"

"No! – Changmin gasped while covering both of his cheeks – No! No! No! No makeup please? I don't want any makeup…!" whine Changmin with a pout. Kyuhyun rolled his eyes seeing his dongsaeng's attitude.

"It's just a light makeup, Min. I won't put too much. I promise…" persuade Kyuhyun.

"No blush on please?" pleaded changmin with a puppy eyes.

"No blush on…"

"And no mascara okay?" pleaded Changmin again.

"As you wish pince-s…" mocked Kyuhyun while bowing like a butler jokingly.

"Yah! I understand your word okay! And I'm not a prince-s!" replied Changmin while pouting irritatedly. Kyuhyun only laughed then took a small chair to sit right before Changmin after he took a box full of makeup equipment from Mrs. Shim's room.

oooOOOooo

"Done!" shouted Kyuhyun and praised himself for his art work. Changmin opened his eyes then walked towards a mirror. He widened his eyes a little at his reflection.

He was wearing a white skinny jeans combined with a thin dark blue turtle neck sweater that has some glitter around the neck and shoulders. The outfit really hugged his body perfectly. And his face. Kyuhyun had put on a very light makeup that makes his face like glowing. His plump lips were shining and pink because of the lip-gloss, a very light brown eye shadow was also applied on him that really suit his white skin, and his hair. His hair was tuck behind his ear on the left side and let it cover his right ear. His bangs almost reach his right eyes and when he moves his head the bangs will wave charmingly to the side. Changmin was speechless. He looks handsome and pretty at the same time.

"Kyu… This is… It's…"

"You look perfect…" said Kyuhyun who stood right behind Changmin.

"Oh Kyu… - Changmin turned his body to face his hyung – I don't know what to say…" said the Bambi with happy teary eyes. Kyuhyun smiled gently and hugged the younger one.

"Don't cry. It'll ruin your makeup. You don't wanna' waste my effort, do you?"

"Thank you hyung…" said Changmin gratefully after they let go of each other. Right after he said that, his phone rang. Changmin took it out from his jeans and looked at the display name.

My Lovely YunnieBear

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Are you ready?" asked Yunho from the other line.

"I'm always ready… - Changmin giggled – where are you anyway?" asked the Bambi while staring at Kyuhyun with a smug grin. The older one only rolled his eyes but still with a smile.

"I'm right in front of your house…"

"Really? Okey then… I'll be out soon…" replied Changmin quickly then hung up the phone. But before he could move, he looked at Kyuhyun apologetically.

"Uhm, hyung… Is it okay if…-"

"Oh shut up! Just go already!" cut the elder one with a smile.

"Thank you so much hyung…!" said Changmin happily while hugging Kyuhyun. Again.

"Bye Kyu hyung!" said Changmin and ran out. Not to forget his white long coat. The elder only chuckled as he shook his head softly. His best friend is really in love…

oooOOOooo

Changmin get out of the house after he put on his white long coat. Today haven't snow again but the weather was still cold. He ran a little towards Yunho who has just got off from his black Lamborghini. Yunho smiled sweetly at him and Changmin hugged him straight away when Yunho was on his reach. They giggled together while still hugging each other and Yunho lifted Changmin up on the waist before spinning them around a little. Making the younger one burst into laughter.

"Stop it hyung… - Changmin said, still laughing – You're making me dizzy…"

Yunho laughed softly and set his lover(?) down. He didn't waste time to captured the younger's lips and coaxed him into a passionate kiss. They let go after a few seconds because Changmin was out of breath. Yunho caressed the younger's soft cheek with the back of his fingers.

"You look very gorgeous tonight…" praised Yunho as he stared right into Changmin's eyes. Making the younger one blushed.

"You look handsome yourself…" complimented Changmin shyly. Yunho was wearing a black boots and jeans combined with a black turtle neck sweater. He also wore a black long coat that has fur along the collars. It makes him look classier. The tiger laughed seeing the younger's shy behavior then pecked his cheeks lovingly.

"Kajja…!" said Yunho and earned some excited nods from the Bambi. Yunho opened the passenger's door and let Changmin get in first before he himself entered the car.

"So, where are we going?" asked Changmin while looking at Yunho with his adorable doe eyes.

"Hmmm… - Yunho kept his eyes on the road but there's a smile crept into his heart shaped lips – Secret…!" teased Yunho jokingly.

"Hyuuuuuuuuunnggg~~~~~~!" whined Changmin with a cute pout. The older one laughed again then stole a kiss from those pouty lips.

"You'll know it soon enough…" replied Yunho calmly, still with a smile.

"I won't stop asking unless you feed me a whole lot of foods…!" exclaimed Changmin teasingly. The older one scoffed a laugh.

"Don't worry baby, I'll let you eat as much as you like…" retorted Yunho lightly.

"Okay! I'll be an obedient boy then…" said Changmin then readjust his sitting position like a good boy. Yunho looked at him for a second then chuckled. Changmin smiled wider and began to swing his feet back and forth in happiness as Yunho took one of his hand and held it tightly.

Ten minutes later, they arrived in front of a five star hotel. Changmin's jaw slacked when he got off the car. This was the most luxurious hotel he had ever gone to. Yunho too got off of the car soon after and went beside the Bambi who still froze in his place. He grabbed Changmin's hand gently, making the younger looked at him in disbelief.

"Stop staring at me like that. Let's go…" said Yunho then dragged changmin softly towards an elevator. They didn't speak any words along the way. But a shy smile grazed at each of their lips as they kept their fingers laced to each other.

It takes a few minutes to reach the top floor of the hotel. When the elevator doors opened, Yunho took Changmin out and succeed on making the younger stunned. Right in front of him was an outdoor restaurant with only a few tables. The view was aslo dazzling. They could see the whole city covered in snow and lights and when you looked up, the starry sky greets you warmly. Changmin glaze his eyes to all over the restaurant and walked to the edge of the building to see more of the city lights. He was so amazed until he forgot about the elder's presence. Not that Yunho mind though. He loves to see changmin's excited expression. It makes him looked like a puppy who had found its master again.

Yunho watched the angelic scenery for a while. Changmin who looked so amazed by the view, he who looked at the starry skies with excitement, he who closes his eyes and smiled softly when the breeze blew softly, making his black hair swayed. It's a scenery that Yunho would pay millions of dollars to see it again and again. A satisfied smile grazed on Yunho's lips as he strides across the restaurant to hugged Changmin from the back. He leaned his head on the younger's left shoulder and sighed in content. The Bambil tilted his head back a little and gave Yunho a peck on the cheek. The older too pulled his head a bit so he could look into Changmin's sparkling eyes.

"Do you like my surprise?" asked Yunho with a hint of playfull tone but Changmin know that Yunho was serious in the heart.

"You never failed to make me happy Yunnie-ah…" answered Changmin gently and sincerely. He turned around then clang both of his arms onto Yunho's neck while the elder's arms where still wrapped securely on his slim waist. Both of them smiled widely while looking at each other's eyes. Yunho leaned down and captured Changmin plump rosebud lips with his heart shaped one. They kissed for a few minutes before the younger one withdrew to get some air. Yunho smiled gently then pecked the Bambi's forehead lovingly.

"Come on, let's eat. I bet you're hungry…" said Yunho then led Changmin to the nearby table.

"You really are a helpless sap hyung…" said Changmin jokingly then giggled.

"But you like me anyway…" retored Yunho as playfully as he pulled a chair for Changmin to sit on.

"What makes you so sure?" asked Changmin teasingly after the older man sat on the opposite chair. Yunho only scoffed a laughed.

"Oh don't worry. I'll know the answer soon enough," answered Yunho lightly.

"Dork…" mocked Changmin with a playful face.

Once their foods were settled right in front of their nose, they stopped talking and start eating. It's a salmon set served with white rice for Yunho and a deluxe sushi set for Changmin plus a salmon risotto for Changmin too. The older one stared at Changmin in confusion when the Bambi ordered the risotto 'cause its jus odd to eat sushi with risotto but the tiger ordered it anyway since its Changmin who asked him. This guy really has a big apatite despite his slim and lean body. Yunho smiled all the time while he looked at Changmin. The younger one seems to always happy when it comes to foods. Yunho also discovered that Changmin really loves pancakes with ice cream and caramel toppings plus some biscuit crumbles on top. When they're done, fireworks began to shoot to the sky.

"Shall we go there?" asked Yunho while pointing to the place where they had stood before. Changmin diverted his attention from the fireworks above after hearing the elder's question then nodded with a smile. So they stood near the stone fence at the edges of the restaurant while enjoying the fireworks. But suddenly the fireworks stopped abruptly for a second before a whole lot of fireworks shoot to the sky at the same time and shaped some words. Changmin widened his eyes when he read it words by words.

'Shim Changmin, be my boyfriend please?' written in hangul.

'심 창민 내 남자친구 해주세요?'

"Yunho-ah… - Changmin turned around to face Yunho – Did you…?" asked Changmin speechless.

"I did…" answered Yunho with a gentle smile. Changmin was realloy speechless. He's so confused yet so happy at the same time.

"But why? I thought I'm your boyfriend already. Back there at the hill, we-"

"I know. But at that time I didn't confess to you properly. I didn't even ask you. I only kissed you and it feels like I was claiming you without asking for your permission. It's rude. So I just want to confess to you like a gentleman and I want to hear your answer also. So, what do you say?" explained Yunho.

And Changmin don't know what else he should say. He just got more than he deserve. So he tear up with a happy smile crossed his plump lips. He lunged himself towards the older man and hugged him tightly. Yunho hugged back instantly.

"Oh Yunho, you idiot. Of course I will. I don't mind even if you claim me without asking my permission," answered Changmin full of love. And Yunho felt like his heart would burst out with happiness.

"I love you, Min-ah…" said Yunho as he embraced the Bambi tighter. Burying his face at his lover's hair.

"I love you too Yun-ah…" replied Changmin softly. They pulled back a little then kissed passionately. The snow began to fall from the sky as they kissed and fireworks continue to shoot at random patterns. The real love stories starts now…
