Jia Hao calmly walked with his hands behind his back. His eyes searching for Sangwon. He looked at his wristwatch.
"He should have been done with practice now" he muttered. A small smile formed on his face as he looked at the bag in his hand, someone coming to his mind.
Just as he entered the house, someone bumped into him. A smile immediately appeared on his face when he saw it was Anxin.
"Anxin–
Anxin immediately moved away when Jia Hao tried to touch his shoulder. His head low in a bow.
Jia Hao's brows furrowed. "What's wrong?"
"Y-Young Master is still practicing in his piano room—
"I came to see you" Jia Hao said and Anxin's eyes slightly widened as he slowly looked at Jia Hao.
He immediately looked away, his face heating up as he remembered the hug.
"I got you something"
Anxin immediately shook his hands. "No no, how dare I take a gift from you. I'm sorry but no—
Jia Hao grabbed Anxin's hand and made him hold the bag. Anxin's eyes widened as he looked around.
"I saw you staring into a classroom. It's a shame you can't attend classes so I got you books"
Anxin's eyes shone when he heard him. He quickly looked into the bag, seeing books.
Jia Hao smiled seeing his expression.
"When you're done with these, I'll get you more" Jia Hao said and rubbed Anxin's head.
Anxin folded his lips, his face turning crimson when he felt Jia Hao's touch. He immediately moved away.
He cleared his throat as he bowed.
"Thank you, Young Master"
Jia Hao shook his head. "You don't need to thank me. This is something you should freely have access to. I'm sorry the country failed you"
Anxin didn't say anything as he looked away.
Jia Hao looked at his wristwatch. "It seems Sangwon's going to be late today. Have you had lunch?"
Anxin scratched his head. "Uhhh we only eat breakfast and dinner, and I still have some work to do"
"Nonsense. We're going to eat now" Jia Hao said holding his hand. Anxin looked around.
"Young Master you'll get me in trouble!"
"Hyung" Jia Hao said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Huh?"
"Call me that. I do not like being called Young Master. It reminds me I'm born of the corrupt system"
Anxin stared at him. He hesitantly called.
"H-Hyung.." Jia Hao smiled and nodded.
"Good. Now, we go" He said dragging Anxin.

Leo came out of his hiding place when he saw Sangwon's teacher leave. He quietly walked into Sangwon's piano room.
He covered his eyes from behind. Sangwon flinched. "Guess who it is"
Sangwon clicked his tongue hearing Leo's voice. He removed his hands from his face and looked back glaring at him.
"Come onnnn are you still angry at me? I'm sorry" Leo whined and hugged him from behind. His head resting on Sangwon's shoulder.
Sangwon pushed his head away, his glare still on his face.
"What do you want me to do? Should I massage your feet? I give really good massages" Leo said but Sangwon still ignored him.
Leo clicked his tongue as he leaned out of the hug. He walked and stood before Sangwon.
"Sangwonnnn pleaseeee" He pleaded, softly shaking Sangwon's shoulders.
Sangwon glared at him again before looking elsewhere. Leo sighed.
"Should I sing for you?" Leo proposed. Sangwon scoffed doubting Leo's singing skills.
"Hey! I sing really well- stop that mocking face"
Sangwon looked at him still not believing him.
"Okay fine, I'll sing. But be careful. I seem to have magical powers"
Sangwon rolled his eyes at Leo's delusion.
"I'm serious! Every time I sing, people seem to fall in love with me. Be careful little master.. You might fall too" Leo said rubbing Sangwon's cheek.
Sangwon scoffed slapping Leo's hand away as he tried to hide his flustered face.
Leo cleared his throat. Sangwon's eyes slowly widened when Leo began to sing. He turned his head to him as he listened.
Leo purposely stopped singing. Sangwon looked at him confused. "For me to continue singing, you need to pay me"
Sangwon scratched his head as his eyes went around in confusion. "No, not what you're thinking. I don't want money"
Sangwon tilted his head. Leo touched his cheek. "One peck for thirty seconds of me singing"
Sangwon clicked his tongue shooing him away.
Leo chuckled. "Come onnnn you've done it before. Don't you want to hear my sweet voice?"
Sangwon shook his head. Leo dramatically sighed. "I guess my voice is not good" He said but Sangwon didn't look at him.
He sighed louder. "I should just shut up. Even you, you think I sound awful. I'm truly hopeless" Sangwon discreetly looked at him.
Leo immediately put on a sad face when he caught Sangwon looking. Sangwon sighed in defeat. He then nodded making Leo brightly smile.
He gulped, his hand hesitantly moved Leo's head to the side as he slowly leaned in. Leo waited but he didn't feel anything.
He turned his head, his eyes immediately widening when his lips brushed against Sangwon's.
Sangwon's eyes bulged out in shock. They immediately shifted away from each other, looking elsewhere. Their faces burning.
Leo folded his lips, carefully turning to look at Sangwon, both immediately looking away flustered when their eyes met.
Leo then cleared his throat. "Uh.. W-Why are you suddenly acting shy?.. Friends... Friends kiss each other" He mumbled the ending.
Sangwon gave a small nod. Both flicking glances at each other. Leo cleared his throat once again as he turned.
"I uh... I think I have.. some work to do"
He said and Sangwon nodded still not able to look at him.
He turned to leave but stopped. He turned back and pecked Sangwon's cheek, not giving him a chance to react, he ran out of his piano room.
Sangwon looked towards the door after Leo ran out. His heartbeat clouded his ears. His fingers slowly touched his lips.
A shy smile formed on his face.
