Minseok lies on the couch as he watches the TV after a long day of work while Chen is trying to warm some food up in the kitchen. Minseok flicks though the channel, hoping to find something good to watch but unfortunately for him, all he can find are boring soap operas.
"Aish, how boring" He throws the remote on the carpet and spreads his legs down to the rest of the couch.
"Chen Chen can you open that?" Minseok asks lazily as the door bell rings.
"But you're closer!" Chen whines, "Hyung, please open the door, i still need to warm the food"
Minseok lets out a huff and eventually stands up, he sighs before reaching out and opens the door.
"Baozi!!!"
Minseok's face drops as he stares at the guy before him. It's so not who he wants to see, at all.
"Who is it hyung?" Chen walks slowly behind Minseok and whispers while wearing an apron.
"No one" Minseok spits, making the guy before him frowns.
"Who are you?" The guy before him shifts his eyes to Chen and looks at him with confused eyes.
"My name is Jongdae, I'm Minseok's best friend" Chen smiles, "Who are you?"
"I'm Luhan, Minseok's other best friend" The other guy smiles brightly.
"He's so not my friend!" Minseok growls making Luhan frowns.
"Yes i am!"
"And who are you?" Chen's eyes averts to the guy next to Luhan.
"This is Kris, my other best friend" Luhan introduces.
"Hold up" Minseok raises his hands up suddenly, "No one cares about you nor your friend" He stops and looks at Kris, "No offense" Then turns back to Luhan, "Get the hell out of here, i don't want to see you and we are not friends!" With that, Minseok slams the door in Luhan and Kris's face.
"Hyung, why are you so rude?" Chen complains.
"Don't open the door for that kid, he's annoy -" Before he can finish his sentence, the bell rings again. This time, Chen reaches out and open it.
"Sorry about that, Minseok hyung can be a little cranky sometimes. He's just hungry" Chen tries to explain but Minseok pulls him back, "Get back in Chen Chen, let me deal with this"
"What the hell are you doing here?" Minseok folds his arms.
"Well, can we come in first, we're a bit jet lagged" Luhan smiles hopefully.
"N-"
"Of course you can!" Chen cuts Minseok off and invites them in.
.

"Now tell me, why are you here?" Minseok hisses as they all sit down on the couch.
Luhan sighs and shifts his eyes to Kris, "We're uhmm...." He hesitates for a while, "We're looking for someone!"
"Oh, who?" Chen asks, coming out from the kitchen with glasses of water on his hands.
"A friend of our" Luhan scratches his nape nervously, "He's in Seoul somewhere, we're not sure"
"Oh, how are you gonna find him then?" Chen tilts his head slightly to the side to show his confusion.
Luhan shrugs, "We were just gonna look around..."
"Okay, Let me give you a hint where your friend is" Minseok smiles mischievously, "Not at our house!"
Chen frowns and hits Minseok slightly, "Hyung! Don't be rude" Chen then smiles at Luhan and Kris, "Sorry, don't mind him. But may i ask why are you guys here?"
Luhan laughs nervously and looks at Minseok, "Oh you see, we're from China so we don't really know anything, we were hoping you guys could help us"
"Oh you guys are Chinese? You can speak Korean quite well!" Chen grins while nodding like an idiot.
"No way in hell we're helping you!" Minseok shouts angrily, making all three of them jump.
"You're the only one i know Minseok" Luhan pleads.
"Well what do you guys need help with" Chen asks.
"Don't listen to him, he could be lying" Minseok whispers in Chen's ear, which Chen doesn't seem to pay attention to.
"We were just wondering if we could stay with you guys for a while?" Luhan clasps his hands together and looks at Minseok and Chen with hopeful eyes.
"No! No way in hell!!" Minseok waves his hands frantically, "Big fat NO! NO! NO!"
"Please, you're the only one i know in Seoul!" Luhan begs.
"No means no!" Minseok folds his arms and looks away.
Chen suddenly pulls Minseok aside, "Hyung, we should let them stay. They look like they need help"
"No way! That guy Luhan is trouble i tell you! And his friend doesn't look that nice either. I mean they're asking for help yet that guy looks like he's ready to kill!"
"Aish hyung, he's probably just tired!" Chen says, "I think they really need our help"
"No Chen Chen, if you let them stay i won't talk to you for a week! I'll be really mad" Minseok threatens with his arms folded.
Chen sighs and looks at Minseok, as much he wants to help Luhan and his friend out, he doesn't want to make Minseok mad.
"Sorry guys" Chen apologizes as they walk back to where Luhan and Kris are.
"Please Minseok, we don't have a place to stay" Luhan begs.
"There's a motel down the street, it's pretty cheap too" Minseok says with no emotions.
"But-"
"Chen Chen please show our guests the way out" Minseok turns away and heads toward the kitchen.
"I'm so sorry, i'll try to talk to him " Chen looks at Luhan and Kris apologetically as he opens the door.
"Thanks" Luhan gives him a nod and heads out with Kris following behind.
.
.

"Hyung, what did Luhan do that make you so angry?" Chen says as he looks through the fridge, looking for some orange juice.
"Aish, don't talk about him. He's annoying!" Minseok mumbles.
"But what did he do though? Can't be that bad right?" Chen takes a seat next to Minseok and drinks his beverage.
Minseok sighs, looking at the younger guy next to him, "Remember when i went to China for vacation a few months ago?"
Chen nods and Minseok goes on, "Well, remember when i told you i got mugged?"
Chen gasps, "It was him ?"
"Yep" Minseok nods, "Not just that, when we bumped into each other again, he apologized and acted like we're best friends. In the end, he stole my suitcase"
"Yep, so don't ever let him in our house again, who knows what he might take"
"Well, it's not like we have anything for him to take" Chen giggles.
It's true, they don't really have anything valuable to take. Minseok is working as a waiter to earn money for the rent, while Chen is still finishing school. They live in a 3 rooms apartment but the only reason they can afford it is because the apartment is supposedly haunted so the price is dirt cheap. Minseok snatched the apartment as soon as he saw the price, haunted or not he didn't care. Except he didn't tell Chen about it because he knows the younger would freak out and never step foot in.
"Who knows! I mean, he took my suitcase and all i had in there were clothes"
Chen nods understandingly, "But hyung, what if he changed? He seemed really sincere earlier..."
"Don't fall for his trap! I trusted him too and what did i get? My suitcase stolen that's what!"
Chen bites his lower lips, he understands what Minseok is thinking but he can't help but feel bad. Minseok who notices the look on his best friend's face, frowns, "Jongdae-ah, i know what you're thinking but don't fall for his lies, he's a bad person"
"But maybe he changed hyung ...." Chen whispers almost inaudibly.
Minseok shakes his head and gets up from his seat, "Stop thinking about it Chen Chen and go to sleep, you have school tomorrow"
"How the hell did i find me..." Minseok sighs before walking into his own bedroom.
