“Appa, aniyo…”

“Taeil, no. You play all time, every time. You don't even listen to me nor help me with the chores or shopping. You and Baek, both mess the entire table and couch while playing and eating snacks that I don't even know when did you guys order. Plus, you even connected the stereos and this freaking horror genre freaks the hell out of me whenever a jumpscare sound comes.”

Jongdae turned off the systems and was just about to undo the cables when the doorbell rang and took both of the men's attention.

“I'll see who is it but this doesn't mean I would let this go.” Jongdae warned and Taeil sat on the couch, crossing his hands and pouting in disapproval.

Jongdae opened the door to see who was the visitor and sight surprised him when he saw, “Donghyuck? Wow… You are suddenly here? How are you?”

The younger chuckled at the latter's confused and sheepish behavior. “Good afternoon, Mr. Byun. I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking. And don't worry, I know I kind of appeared out of nowhere.” He joked, making elder laugh as well as making the situation less awkward.

“I just got to know about the things that happened recently while I wasn't here in the town. But now that I'm here, thought I should check on you guys as well as on professor… If you don't mind Mr. Byun?”

Jongdae smiled gently as he answered. “Of course not Hyuck-ah. Why would I? In fact, I'm really surprised that a student could care enough about their teacher. Such a lovely relationship you two got as a teacher and a student.”

Of course they got an extremely lovely student-teacher relationship.

“Oh… Where are my manners? Come in young man.” Jongdae opened the door widely giving the space to enter welcomingly.

Donghyuck thanked him as he bowed and went in. There, he saw the love of his life pouting and cuddling to himself on the messy couch. The whole living room area seemed messy if he'd be honest. The shorter male seemed so mad and red that Donghyuck would just grab him there and eat hungrily.

But he couldn't just eat Taeil in front of his still possibly father in law.

“How have you been, Professor?”

Taeil looked at the younger and instantly stood while his mouth went agape in surprise which soon became a fondly smile. “Hyuck-ah?”

“Seems like someone had a street fight inside the house.” Donghyuck mocked playfully as he looked around Taeil and the pout immediately came back on the shorter's face.

Jongdae approached them after a minute with a glass of juice in his hand. “Well, yes. He just had a house fight with me and that's just for this freaking game. Can you believe it Donghyuck? He's your professor for Pete's sake.” He chimed while handing the glass to the youngest who gladly accepted that and took a slight sip.

Donghyuck then raised a brow at Taeil suspiciously yet playfully as he asked, “Oh dear, Professor. What I'm hearing? Is it true?”

Taeil never stopped pouting but decided to answer nonetheless. “I was just bored.” He said which came out more as a mumble.

Jongdae shook his head and said, “Well, I guess now that Donghyuck is here, he may accompany you and keep you busy. You have become lazy also because of sitting too much so maybe he'd help with moving your body as well. Am I not right, Hyuck-ah?”

Well, for making Taeil move his body, “You are absolutely right, Mr. Byun. Even the other I came here was to check if the Professor could still help with a few lessons as we got a major assessment very near.”

“So that is the reason you came back to the town all so sudden. How was your journey overseas past week though? Did your parents or at least your mother come with you as well or…”

The youngest grinned lightly as he replied. “No. Well, she insisted but I told her that is fine. I am a well grown man and I should not bother my parents every now then because of my individual duties.”

Jongdae gasped slightly and his expression became parental. “Oh dear, such a gentleman you are Hyuck-ah. Well, if you would like, you can stay the night here so that you will be able to have your lessons relaxingly. As well you will have warm and healthy homemade food. Baekhyun would also love to spend his time with you at a stay over and I'm sure Taeil would not mind as well. Right Taeil?”

Donghyuck turned his face to Taeil and winked seductively making Taeil go dangerously red as a tomato.

“Would you mind me staying the night here, Professor?” He asked in a husky tone which only Taeil could notice.

Taeil felt himself sweating and he gulped even as he gathered all his to say, “N-no.”

“Alright then. I'll clean the guest room and set the mattresses for you. Which ones do you prefer, Donghyuck? Hard mattress or fluffy ones?”

“Any mattress is fine.” As long as he would get Taeil underneath him.

______

Just like Jongdae had mentioned, Baekhyun sure enjoyed Donghyuck's company after getting home from work. They both had their buddy time by talking, eating, fooling and messing around. Which included the mass gaming sessions too and Jongdae realized that he was supposed to be getting rid of that box. He made a mental note to complete the task later.

Soon the night took its place and the Byuns went to their respective bedrooms while Donghyuck went to the guest room as Jongdae had worked his ass off arranging it for him.

Though, he didn't last long there as he started sneaking into Taeil's room after midnight. And he actually felt bad for not using the room especially when Jongdae had arranged the finest mattress for him. But what could one expect when he clearly wanted nothing but Taeil and only Taeil underneath him?
