Chapter 1

The lights dimmed low as the sky grew blacker by the second. Music roared loudly as young bodies swayed to the beat, feeling the vibrant rhythm flow through their veins. Drinks were passed around from one person to the next trying out different flavors that sunk deep within the tongue. It was a night just like any other where young people would gather and dance the night away. People are given the privilege to forget about their troublesome worries and focus on the peak of their youth. After all, each person is given one life to live; they might as well live that life to the fullest.

He didn’t really know why he was there. He was a boy who grew up in a well-sheltered family. He had a loving mother and a hardworking father. He studied hard throughout high school and received high marks and honorable recognitions. Girls had fallen in love with him, but he kindly denied them, gently telling the girls that due to his studies he wouldn’t have time to focus on having a girlfriend. But of course the main reason was that he didn’t really want any girlfriends, he just didn’t have the heart to hurt any feelings.

And yet he found himself in amidst of a group of young individuals who never had the opportunity of growing up in a warm family or took the time to study. The boy was surrounded by people who grew up in harsh lifestyles and these people would come to this one sanctuary in order to throw those worries aside just for the night.

“Ah!”

The boy turned around only to feel something heavy collapse into his arms. He looked down in surprise only to see a beautiful flushed face smiling straight at him.

“Hee…hee…are you prince charming…?” The beautiful face flashed another smile as he gave out a soft hiccup.

The modest boy didn’t know what to say as he felt a knot form in his throat. He took a small gulp as he opened his mouth, words refusing to come out.

“I-I’m um…” The boy stuttered as he began to feel his face burn up.

“W-What’s your name?” The beautiful face hiccupped once more only to be pulled away by another person.

“W-Well it’s Choi-”

“Ah, don’t even bother,” A young boy smiled rather apologetically as he pulled the beautiful face away. “This guy…well…he won’t remember…”

“S-Stupid Kibum…” The beautiful boy slurred his words. “S-Stop telling people lies…”

He then turned to the modest boy as he flashed another smile once more. “P-Please tell me…I-I’ll remember…”

Kibum shook his head apologetically once more as he pulled the beautiful boy away. “H-Hyung…I think you had one too many drinks…we ought to take you home-”

“NO!” The beautiful boy frowned heavily as he tried to push the younger boy away. “I DON’T WANT TO GO HOME!”

“Sigh…you’re like a spoiled princess…” Kibum felt as if he was going to give up. He then turned to the boy before him. “Hey, you think you could watch him?”

The boy’s eyes expanded in surprise by the sudden request.

“What’s your name?” Kibum asked.

“Choi Shiwon…” the boy replied.

“Shiwon…well, you look like a nice guy compared to all the other people you find here…please take care of Heechul hyung for me…” Kibum pushed the beautiful boy into Shiwon’s arms.

“S-Stupid K-Kibum!” Heechul slurred as he pointed at the younger boy.

“I’ll be back hyung…” Kibum winked as Heechul gave a small nod.

Shiwon watched as the younger boy leave. He felt awfully shy and awkward considering the fact that he had a beautiful person dangling in his arms but before he knew it Heechul knocked out. The boy began to panic wondering if he should call the hospital or the police but he didn’t want to get Heechul in trouble by the law. Kibum was nowhere to be found, so he concluded that the only solution was to take the boy home.

Shiwon gently placed the boy on his bed, wrapping the boy’s body with his bed sheets hoping that the beautiful boy was feeling okay. He then turned towards his bathroom deciding to take a shower.

Heechul continued to keep his eyes shut tightly as he felt warm movements around him, feeling a heavy blanket wrapped around his body. He then heard footsteps walking away as the boy peeked an eye open noticing the other boy entering the bathroom. In a few more seconds the sound of water running in the shower came to Heechul’s ears as he gave a satisfied smile. The boy jumped out of the bed as he noticed a pair of pants hanging over a chair. He took the pants as he dug into the pockets finding the one thing he was hoping to achieve all night.

“This was way too easy…” Heechul smirked as he looked at the wallet that was clasped tightly in his hand. “From all the people I’ve robbed…this was the fastest…that guy is so stupid to bring me home…”

The boy began to make his way towards the front door only to hear the sound of the shower being turned off. Usually at this point Heechul would take off but for some odd reason, his conscience told him to get back into bed.

Shiwon walked out of the bathroom as he dried off his hair. He then looked over to his bed noticing that Heechul was still sleeping. The boy smiled at the sight of Heechul’s peaceful sleeping face. He then walked over towards the bed securing the bed sheet around the other boy’s slender shoulders.

He then plopped himself on his chair as the boy gradually fell asleep.

“Shit…” Heechul woke up in an unfamiliar surrounding only to remember what had happened the prior night before. The boy cursed to himself for falling asleep when he should have left in the middle of the night. Heechul sat up in his spot as he looked around the huge apartment complex. He never really got the chance to absorb his surrounding from the night before but the boy was surprised to see imported statues and highly expensive furniture.

In other words, he was in a rich boy’s house.

“Ah! I see you have woken up!” Shiwon peered in from the door as he carried in a tray filled with food. “Are you feeling okay? You don’t have any hangover or anything right? Well tell me if you do because I’ll go by some medicine-”

“Who are you?” Heechul stared at the other boy blankly.

“Ah, that’s right, you’re probably wondering how you got here and why you’re in a stranger’s house…” Shiwon placed the tray aside as he scratched the back of his head shyly.

Heechul continued to stare at him expressionlessly.

“My name is Shiwon…C-Choi Shiwon…” Shiwon stuttered. “You were drunk last night and your friend asked me to watch over you so I-”

“Oh…my friend…” Heechul pursed his lips. “He’s not my friend.”

“O-Oh…” Shiwon was slightly confused.

“That guy…that guy…well, he tried to sell me into prostitution once…considering I had a beautiful face…” Heechul leaned his head back.

Shiwon was quite shock. He didn’t really know what to say. “Oh my god…I’m so sorry…”

“Don’t be…it has nothing to do with you…” Heechul shrugged as he looked around. “Must be nice to be you…living a wealthy lifestyle and all…”

“Ah…” Shiwon bit his lips slightly.

“Sorry, I’m being such an ass,” Heechul smiled as he stood from the bed. “I should really get going…”

“You should at least stay for breakfast!” Shiwon pointed at the tray.

Heechul felt his stomach grumble.

“Well I guess I can stay for that…” Heechul began to eat the piece of bread as he gorged on it quite hungrily surprising even Shiwon a bit.

“Your family must be worried about you…” Shiwon induced a conversation.

“Hm? Family?” Heechul frowned slightly. “My parents died when I was six…my younger brother is sick in the hospital and I’m just trying to make money to pay for the hospital fee…”

“I’m so sorry to hear that…” Shiwon wanted to smack himself for asking such a question. “What kind of disease does your brother have?”

Heechul paused for a second.

“C-Cancer…yeah…that…in his brain or something…doctor says he won’t make it…but you know…don’t lose hope…” Heechul fumbled with his words.

“How do you make your living?”

“That my friend is crossing the borderline…” Heechul stared at the other boy. “I practically told you my life story just now.”

“Ah…right…I’m sorry…but it’s just that…” Shiwon bit his lips slightly. “I feel that I should help…”

“Help?” Heechul almost choked on his food. “Why would a stranger like you want to help a stranger like me?”

“Because I feel like it?”

“Good enough answer.”

“Where do you live? I should take you home-”

“I don’t have a home…” Heechul finished eating his food. “I leech off my nights at my so called friend’s house…”

“You can’t go back there!” Shiwon protested.

“I don’t have anywhere else to go-”

“Stay here!”

Heechul smiled. “I can’t do that…I don’t want to intrude and leech off a-”

“We won’t be strangers anymore…” Shiwon smiled optimistically. “We can be friends.”

“Friends…that sounds nice…” Heechul hugged his knees to his chest. “Well…thank you…friend…”

“No problem! Well…I have to go to school…” Shiwon began to walk towards the doorway. “I’ll be back in the afternoon so help yourself to anything here…if you need to reach me my number is near the telephone…and the spare key is under the doormat.”

“Thanks…I really appreciate it…” Heechul smiled warmly.

“Don’t mention it.”

As soon as Shiwon left the house, Heechul immediately reached for his cell phone dialing the first number on the list. The boy laughed with glee as he anxiously waited for his friend to answer the call.

“Hello, Heechul hyung?”

“Ah! Kibum!”

“DUDE, where the hell were you? The guys and I were getting worried sick that you might have been murdered or-”

“Oh my god, you will not believe what happened!”

“What? If you tell me you slept with the guy I’ll NEVER forgive you-”

“NO!” Heechul scowled. “It’s nothing like that!”

“I’m just kidding…I know you too well…”

“I told this guy some bullshit and he totally bought it. Where are you right now? I jacked his wallet last night, I’ll give it to you.”

“Wait, are you telling me that you’re going back?”

“This guy is freaking rich, so I’ve decided to take advantage of him. I made up some sappy childhood story and he totally felt sorry for me and stuff.”

“You’re such a devil!”

“Whatever, haha, you’ll be calling me a god when we become rich. How’s Donghae doing?”

“He’s here with me right now. He tells me that he misses you.”

“Well, tell him that I don’t miss him, haha.”

“Hey Donghae, Hyung says he misses you so much that it hurts!”

“Yah! Kibum!” Heechul smiled. He loved the two younger boys very much; after all, they were like his dear younger brothers. “Anyways, I’ll bring the wallet to you right now…are you guys at home?”

“Yup.”

--+--

“Choi…Shi…won…” Kibum lifted the ID card up high as he read out the information. “Woah, isn’t he the son of that really rich dude who owns that diamond factory.”

“EHH?” Heechul grabbed the card from the younger boy. “Are you serious? I had no idea! Then didn’t we hit like jackpot?”

“But why would a high class guy like him be doing at a night club?” Donghae frowned slightly. “Are you sure it’s him? I’d never imagine such a guy there…”

“I’ve been in his house, the guy is filthy rich,” Heechul smiled.

“Well, if you say so…” Donghae pursed his lips. “Hyung…are you seriously going to go back?”

“Of course! I’m not satisfied with just his wallet…plus he said I could live there for awhile!”

“W-What?” Kibum almost choked on his own saliva. “Tell me you weren’t an idiot and accepted.”

“Shut the fuck up,” Heechul scowled. “I know what I’m doing.”

“But wouldn’t they notice? If all their precious belongings disappear from them one by one…” Donghae bit his lips slightly. “I think it’s a bit risky. Let’s just stick to stealing wallets.”

“Look,” Heechul smiled rather confidently at the two boys. “Just trust me. It’s not fair those rich bastards get to live in nice homes while we barely manage in a one room apartment. The least we can do is steal from them…plus…the guy lives alone…does he really need all those things? And…”

“And..?” Donghae looked at the older boy as Kibum had nothing else to say.

“I want to send you guys to school…” Heechul said softly.

Kibum twitched in his seat.
