♡ Before the storm

"Are you still mad, hyung?" Kyungsoo asked, looking out the window. He didn't even dare to look at Jun Myeon since he knew the answer to his question already.

"I'm not mad. I'm disappointed," replied Suho. That was the answer Kyungsoo hated the most. That was what his mom used to say when he made a mistake. She was never "mad", she was "just disappointed". That was even worst.

The car stopped as they arrived at the Kim's resident where Jongin's father and his third wife lived.

"It's just three more days. I'm going back to America as you wanted. What's so bad about that?"

"It's three days of you being with Kim Jongin," Suho explained.

"You know he's not going to hurt me."

"Not physically." That got Kyungsoo. Suho was right. When those three days passed, he was going to get hurt. They both were going to get hurt. And it was his fault. On his first day arrived at the airport, he should never have pretended to be Byun Baekhyun. He should never have said "I do" to a stranger. He should never have fallen in love with Jongin in the first play.

Kyungsoo whispered another "Sorry" to his friend as he got out of the car.

He barely reached the front door as it opened automatically and soon after an old man in a butler uniform appeared. It was a weird situation to be here. He hadn't visited Jongin's father at his home yet. He felt like they made a secret of this place. Therefore, it felt like he was about to discover a mystery.

"Welcome, Mr. Byun. Mr. Kim, the senior isn't home, but the young master is waiting for you already." The man said, bowing down and as a reflex Kyungsoo bowed back. He might have grown up overseas, but he was raised with every Korean custom. Before he could ask, whether the butler meant Jongin by "young master", the taller came across the corner.

"You're here," Jongin greeted with a wide smile.
"Come on, I have someone I want to introduce to you," Jongin added. Kyungsoo wondered who it could be. Jongin barely visited his father. He hated this place. So, who could made him go home and even asked Kyungsoo to join him? For one second Kyungsoo thought it could be his mother. Yet, as he entered the living room, he realized he was wrong.

On the couch sat a little boy. He might be about five or six. He had big eyes that remind Kyungsoo so much of Jongin's. Noticing Kyungsoo, the little boy ran to Jongin, hiding behind the tall man while holding tight on Jongin's leg.

"If he's telling me the kid is his. I'm going back to America right away." Kyungsoo thought. Why was he even mad? He was leaving anyway.

"Baekhyun, this is Yoogeun. My..."

"Brother". Jongin and Kyungsoo said at the same time. Kyungsoo was feeling like an idiot at that moment. How could he think so low of Jongin? He totally forgot that Jongin had a smaller brother who went to a boarding school. He started to question whether his IQ lowered since he "got married."

"Yes," Jongin replied to Kyungsoo before turning to his baby brother, getting down to the young boy's level. Then, he started to signal something with his hands. Yoogeun only nodded before bowing to Kyungsoo.

"Jongin, can I?" Kyungsoo asked as he came closer, also getting down. Jongin was about to explain that his brother couldn't hear. Yoogeun was born without his hearing, so he hadn't said a word since birth either.

"Baekhyun, he can't..." Jongin interrupted himself the moment he saw Kyungsoo using his hands to talk to Yoogeun as well. After a split second of shock, he realized Kyungsoo was saying "Hello, I'm Baekhyun" by using sign language.

"Nice to meet you, Baekhyun-ssi," Yoogeun replied with his small hands.

"Nice to meet you too, Yoogeunnie. You can call me hyung too."

"Ok. Baekhyun hyung, are you Jongin hyung's wife?"

"No, I'm his husband."

"Can a man have a husband too?"

"Of course, Yoogeunnie. As long as you love each other."

"So, you love Jongin hyung?"

Jongin could see Kyungsoo having a hard time to answer that innocent question of his baby brother. After all, they haven't used the L-word yet.

"You can't ask him that." Jongin signed to the little boy.

"Why not? You're married. So, you love each other, right?"

"You're too young for that. We'll talk again in a few years, ok?"

"I'm not a baby."

"Yoogeunnie," Kyungsoo interrupted. "We'll talk about this once you have someone you like, ok? I tell you about my love and you tell me about yours."

"Deal," Yoogeun signed with a smile.

"Deal."

Jongin automatically smiled as well, seeing the two people who meant the most to him "talking" and getting along. Yoogeun was usually shy around strangers because of his disorder. Normally it took him a while to get comfortable with them. But Kyungsoo was different. Kyungsoo knew exactly how do treat Yoogeun. Not to mention the fact that Kyungsoo was able to use sign language. His husband was full of surprises, Jongin realized.

"Yoogeunnie, do you want to go to Lottle World?" Jongin asked, and his brother literally jumped in excitement.

Jongin loved their trip. It was his first-time having company while spending time Yoogeun. The young boy was home for only two days, so they needed to "return" him to his mother. Still, only a day with him gave Jongin the indescribable feeling like they were a little family. Jongin had never thought of being a father. He couldn't imagine himself being a good one, so why bother having kids. But since Kyungsoo came along, he enjoyed thinking about them taking care of a little soul, raise it and love it. Kyungsoo had proved he would be a wonderful father to the child. He would make up for Jongin.

The next day they both came to say goodbye to Yoogeun who had to go back to school. It took Jongin over ten minutes to make his brother let go of Kyungsoo. Before going back to the boarding school, Yoogeun wanted to talk to Jongin "men to men", as the young boy said.

"Hyung, do you love Baekhyun hyung?"

"Not that again, Yoogeunnie."

"Baekhyun hyung is not here. You can tell me the truth." Jongin wondered when did his baby brother grow so much.

"Why do you keep asking that?"

"If you don't love him, I'll marry him when I grow up." By that Jongin almost burst in laughter.

"Hyung, I love Baekhyun hyung." Yoogeun confessed and Jongin played along.

"Not a chance. He is mine."

"Then I'll fight for his hand when I grow up."

"Ok. I'll wait for you." Jongin confirmed, patted Yoogeun's head gently.

"Why are wearing that weird smirk since Yoogeunnie left? That's creepy." Kyungsoo asked. He had to admit Jongin's smile was breathtaking. But smiling after your beloved brother left was just weird.

"I just realized you may get me into more troubles than I've thought." Jongin teased. Little did he knew his statement gave Kyungsoo the chill.

"Kim Jongin, if you only know how right you are." Kyungsoo thought.

"And that makes you smile, because?" Kyungsoo asked.

"So, you don't deny being the source of troubles?"

"You knew what you got yourself into," Kyungsoo answered with a poker face. "No, you did not."

"Indeed, I do," Jongin said, leaning down to place a kiss on his husband's lips.

Kyungsoo enjoyed every moment of Jongin's lips on his own. The last days were both heaven and hell. Kyungsoo loved every kiss, every touch and every time their eyes meet. Yet, knowing all that wouldn't last ruined every moment. Without telling Jongin, he tried his best to spend as much time with the taller as possible. At this point, Jongin might think of him as a clingy boyfriend. But Kyungsoo didn't care anyway.

It had become a habit for Kyungsoo to spend lunchtime with Jongin. How could a gang leader be so busy that he even forgot to eat lunch? When Kyungsoo found out about Jongin's reckless handling of his health, he made Jongin promise to have lunch together daily.

"See you at lunch. Suho will drive you home." Jongin said before getting in his car.

"See you," Kyungsoo replied with a smile.

_______________

When Kyungsoo arrived at Jongin's office he immediately sensed something fishy. To get through Jongin you must pass two doors. Both were guarded by two armed men in black suits. The first door led to Jongin's assistant, Wendy, who got her desk right in front of Jongin's office. That was also where you got to pass the second door. Since the whole building belonged to the White Snake, the guards would be already informed about Kyungsoo's presence the moment he entered the building. Therefore, both doors were always open as Kyungsoo came. All he needed to do was walk taking the express elevator, walk through the hallway and greeted Jongin with a kiss. But today was different. The second door was closed. Kyungsoo wondered if the reason was him being a bit early.

"Mr. Byun," Wendy said, bowing to Kyungsoo. The young man couldn't help but notice where she was standing. Right in the middle of his way and right in front of the doorknob. That was the position you would choose to hinder someone from entering the next room.

"Hello," replied Kyungsoo.

"Please have a seat. I'll inform Mr. Kim right away." Wendy said. Her hand pointed at the couch. Kyungsoo didn't want to cause her any trouble, so he sat down as she tried to call Jongin.

"I'm afraid Mr. Kim isn't picking up. I'll try again." The young woman forced a smile. "Can I offer you something to drink? Coffee, tea, water, juice or beer?"

"Water would be fine, thank you." Kyungsoo liked Wendy. She was a young woman with ambition and well manner. Sometimes he wondered how someone as smart as she ended up working for Jongin. Did she even know who she was working for?

Wendy nodded politely. She opened a bottle water and placed a glass in front of Kyungsoo. As she was about to pour the water into the glass, Kyungsoo asked.

"Is someone in there with Jongin?" By that question, the young woman stopped what she was doing. She looked at Kyungsoo in the eyes and answered.

"No, Mr. Kim is alone. He just got a lot of work today, so he wanted to concentrate. I'll call him one more time." Wendy poured the water and bowed once again to Kyungsoo before going back to her desk, giving her boss another call.

Now Kyungsoo had a hunch why Jongin chose her. She was a good liar. But not good enough. She couldn't pour the water, something you do without thinking while answering Kyungsoo's question. That'd only happen when you were about to lie. In addition to that, she looked him in the eyes. That was what liar do. It was a mythos that people couldn't look at you when they lie. In contrast, that was exactly what liars do. They look at you to check whether they succeeded or not.

"I see," Kyungsoo mumbled, taking a sip of the water. The next second the glass slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. It broke into pieces.

"Oh my god, my bad," Kyungsoo shouted out loud. He bent down to pick up the broken fragments.

"No, please. I'll get someone to clean up. You'll hurt yourself." Wendy stopped Kyungsoo before he could touch the broken glass. As Kyungsoo nodded in agreement, she rushed out of the room.

His plan worked. Kyungsoo immediately stood up and headed to Jongin's office. He didn't want Wendy to be blamed for not doing her job, so he needed to send her away. He hated manipulating people, but he must know who or what Jongin was hiding behind this door.

Well, to be honest, Kyungsoo did have an idea. A big boss aka. a player having his assistant lying to his husband while having a secret at work. Cliché alarm.

Kyungsoo didn't even know what he was wishing for. On the one hand, he wouldn't want Jongin to cheat on him. Of course. But on the other hand, that would make it very easy for him to put an end to all this.

So what was he wishing for?

Preview:

"Jongin, can you do me a favor?"

"Anything for you."

"Go on a date with me. Just the two of us. No Suho. No bodyguards. No third wheel. Just the two of us... Would you do that for me?"

"I'd love to."

What do you think? Is Jongin cheating on Soo? Are you Team Kyungsoo or Team Jongin?
And I hope you guys welcome Yoogeunnie (He is every Shawol's unofficial child hahaha) ^^ Please give him all the loves
