Homeless - Part (6/8) (1/2)
„Wow.“ Junsu uttered as he stared at the house they were standing in front of.
It was by no means as big as the mansion Yunho was living in, but nevertheless very impressive and kind of intimidating as well. It was one of the luxurious three story houses Junsu has only seen in catalogues before and he didn't dare to guess just how many rooms could be found inside.
„Impressive, isn't it?“ Yunho asked with a smile and chuckled upon receiving a quick nod in response.
The CEO's right arm was wrapped around Jaejoong's waist as he led his boyfriend towards the gate, Junsu following them suit. Pressing the doorbell, Yunho waited for his brother's voice to ring through the speaker.
„Annyeong hyung, Jaejoong ssi and Junsu ssi~“ Yoochun chirped and caused Junsu and Jaejoong to look at Yunho questioningly who immediately pointed upwards towards the camera installed at the gate they were standing in front of to explain why Yoochun was able to tell who his guests were.“Come in.“
The gate was soon unlocked and allowed for the three of them to step closer towards the house and Junsu briefly noticed how the gate closed behind them before the familiar voice of Yoochun caught his attention as the older male stood by the front door to greet them with another 'annyeong'.
„I'm glad you could come.“ Yoochun said and bowed to greet Jaejoong and Junsu once the two best friends greeted him with a proper bow of their own.
Yunho then stepped closer to hug his brother briefly.“Are we the first ones?“
„No but you aren't the last ones either.“ Yoochun replied before stepping aside to let his guests step into the spacious hallway.
Junsu and Yoochun exchanged a glance which was accompanied by shy smiles on both sides as Junsu walked past Yoochhun and their brief interaction easily caught the attention of Yunho and Jaejoong who chose to not comment on it and opted to smirk instead. After having his guests changing into slippers, Yoochun immediately led everyone into the living room where Yunho was the first one to be greeted.
„Well you guys know Yunho hyung already and this is his other half, Kim Jaejoong.“ Yoochun gestured towards Jaejoong who smiled timidly as he bowed and greeted everyone while Yoochun moved on to introduce Junsu.“And this is Kim Junsu, Jaejoong ssi's best friend.“
Receiving collective calls of 'Annyeong haseyo' in response, the two best friends then followed Yunho and Yoochun to sit down on the couch where Jaejoong made sure to have Junsu right next to Yoochun which seemed to lift Yoochun's mood by a tenfold.
„These gentlemen were my seniors at the culinary school.“ Yoochun said before introducing each of them, starting with the one sitting closest o him.“This is Woo Sung hyung, he is the oldest amongst us.“
„Yah.“ Woo Sung protested.“Do you really need to say that?"
Yoochun laughed but continued with his introduction."Next to Woo Sung hyung are Yihan hyung and Ricky hyung, they worked in New York until positions as the chefs in a five stars hotel called them home last month."
"So thanks to you, Yihan and Ricky are successful chefs but I'm only the oldest in the group to Jaejoong ssi and Junsu ssi?" Woo Sung inquired through playfully gritted teeth and received a positive nod from Yoochun in return."Aish this brat. Thinks he can get away with everything just because he's the youngest."
"You went too easy on him in the culinary school, now it's too late to make him fear you." Yihan uttered and received a nod of agreement from Ricky right away.
"This brat is talented, that's why I went easy on him." Woo Sung replied as he patted Yoochun's back.
"Insung is lucky that he didn't try himself at cooking at the culinary school then." Ricky said."He can't even fry an egg without burning it and would've made your inner kitchen general explode."
Woosung sighed at the mention of that particular name."Even hearing his name makes me frustrated, I might've quit culinary school if he would've been there. Where is that brat at?"
"He texted me and said he'll be here in 30 minutes." Yoochun said before he gestured towards the bottles of beverages standing on the couch table along with some unused glasses and small plates of snacks, his attention on the newly arriven guests once more."Would you like to drink something?"
"Umm..." Junsu hummed and looked at Jaejoong and Yunho who both gestured for him to say something first."I think water will do."
"You should try Yoochun's 'love potion'." Ricky adviced as he gestured towards the jar of red juice standing on the couch table."It's a mix of cranberry, strawberry and mint. Very refreshing."
Junsu nodded before smiling at Yoochun."Then I'd like to have some of that please."
"Gladly." Yoochun said and poured some of the juice into a glass before giving it to Junsu, his eyes soon on his brother and Jaejoong."Would you like to have some of that too?"
Upon receiving nods from the couple, Yoochun quickly made sure to get their drinks done as well although he couldn't help but halt for a while when Junsu finally took a sip from the juice he made, a soft sigh of relief automatically escaping his lips when Junsu looked at him in utter glee and gave him a thumbs up.
"Why is it called 'love potion'?" Junsu asked between sips.
"He came up with that mixture to impress his girlfriend, Kahi." Woo Sung explained.
"Ex-girlfriend." Yoochun corrected and took a cautious glance at Junsu who was merely smiling.
"She was a lucky woman for having someone who bothered to come up with something just for her." Junsu smiled and Yoochun felt silly and also a little dumb for having expected some kind of jealousy to come from Junsu as the other's carefree answer immediately reminded him that Junsu was not even aware of his feelings for him yet.
And maybe it was better this way. He didn't want Junsu to feel jealous over someone who was now history to him and Yoochun promised himself that this was going to be the last time for him to serve this special drink of his.
"I guess I'll have to come up with another special mixture soon." Yoochun commented."I think it's time for something new."
Junsu smiled, not aware of what kind of hidden message was delivered to him through those simple words. But he was going to get to know it one day.
Giving Yoochun a meaningful stare, Woo Sung grinned before clearing his throat casually."I think we should start cooking before Insung comes and gets on my nerves."
The three other chefs agreed with a laughter before getting up, ready to leave and go to the kitchen.
"I can entrust them to you, right?" Yoochun asked his brother before leaving the living room with a smile upon receiving a nod from Yunho in return.
"Shouldn't we help them?" Jaejoong asked as he turned around to have a better look at Yunho, but the CEO shook his head in response.
