“Huh?”
“As I recall, I’m still heavily in debt to you,” he smiled at the dumbfound man.
“Uh…yes?” Junsu was still confused. Was he imagining this? Was he going crazy?
Could dreams happen when a person wasn’t sleeping?
“I don’t like to leave debts unpaid. I guess I’ll have to stay until I pay them all off.”
It dawned on him. It wasn’t a dream.
“You mean…you…I…Finally!” Junsu shouted as he wrapped his arms around Yoochun and hugged him tightly. It was a wonder the other man didn’t hear bones cracking.
“I’m sorry for being so dumb,” Yoochun murmured as he returned the hug. At the same time, he tried to breathe properly.
“You’re incredibly stupid. Your head is as thick as a log and denial is definitely a disease for you. We’ll have to find a way to cure that. It doesn’t look like an easy task either, but that’s okay…”
“Because we have all the time in the world.”
Junsu grinned and Yoochun felt him nod. “Yes, yes, all the time in the world because you know what? It’s going to take you a lifetime to make up for what you caused me to lose.”
Yoochun pulled away slightly to make it easier to breathe and so he could look at Junsu’s expression. “Really? How much was the lottery ticket worth? It’ll take more than a lifetime to be able to pay back all the money I caused you to lose?”
“No, you’d probably be able to pay back all the money you caused me to lose in about five years if you keep working for Kibum. Meanwhile, you won’t be able to pay off your other debt.”
Yoochun blinked in confusion. He was always confused ever since he arrived in this era, but Junsu thought he looked very adorable when he was confused. Very lovable and adorkable, actually.
“I have another debt? What else did I cause you to lose?”
Junsu grinned wider at the thought of causing more ‘Yoochun’s famous confused expression’ in the future. “My heart.”
Yoochun opened his mouth to argue, but then the words finally registered. “Oh.”
“Yep!”
“Wait, doesn’t it even out because you stole my heart as well?”
“Are you not happy about being in debt to me?” Junsu pouted.
“No, of course not. If a debt will attach me to you for life, then so be it!”
“I love you!” Junsu cheered as he embraced Yoochun again.
“I love you too,” Yoochun spoke slowly, testing the words on his tongue. It felt awkward at first, but in a good way.
“Oh, God, I’m going to puke,” they heard Changmin’s voice.
“Su-ie! I’m so happy for you!” Jaejoong ran to pry Junsu off of Yoochun.
“I’m happy too!” Junsu giggled as they hugged each other and jumped up and down in the middle of the hallway.
“Are you doing that on purpose to make me puke?” Changmin exclaimed.
“The bathroom is over there,” Kibum pointed out.
“You’re handling this very well,” Yunho patted Yoochun’s shoulder.
“It’s about time, huh?” Yoochun drawled.
“Yeah, I was wondering when you’d stop being an idiot.”
“Hey, it’s harder than it looks!” Yoochun defended.
“I guess you’re forgiven. This moment wouldn’t be as satisfying if you hadn’t strung the suspense on for this long,” Yunho sighed.
Yoochun made a ‘I guess so’ expression as he wrapped on arm around Kibum’s shoulders and another around Yunho’s shoulders. The three watched as Jaejoong and Junsu continued to jump around Changmin in attempt to make him ill.

“It all worked out…and so perfectly too,” Yunho said before inserting a spoonful of cereal into his mouth.
“It’s not a happily ever after though,” Jaejoong replied as he poured his own bowl of late, late dinner.
“What do you mean? Isn’t this a happily-ever-after like in those cartoons you watch?”
“Don’t you ever wonder what happens after the ‘happily-ever-after’ in a movie? I mean, Cinderella got together with her prince in the first movie. In the second one, they got married. But what happened afterwards? I’m sure they had fights as a married couple and what about their children?”
“You’re confusing me again,” the older man fed himself another spoonful of the cold meal. But then, he was ready to spend the rest of his life being confused by this beauty.
“I mean that there’s still the other half of our life to live. We’re together, but there’s no guarantee that it’s a happily ever after until the day we die.”
“Do you doubt our relationship?” Yunho began to worry.
“Life isn’t a written story or a scripted movie. It’s not like you know this certain couple will have a happily-ever-after because the audience is following the story because this certain couple is the main characters.”
“Why are you being so…depressing?”
“I was watching ‘Bambi’ again and I stopped on the part where his mother died,” the blond man confessed.
“No wonder,” Yunho rolled his eyes. Jaejoong most likely didn’t have the time to finish the movie and had stopped at that exact part.
“I’ll spend the rest of my life having these cereal gatherings with you and we’ll talk about what happens in our own happily-ever-after. We’ll eventually reach a time in our life that you can label ‘happily-ever-after’…or we can go finish watching ‘Bambi’ so you can stop being depressed.”
“Okay!”
Yunho laughed when Jaejoong picked up his bowl and rushed into the living room to start the movie.
“Hurry up, Yunniebear!”
“‘Yunniebear’?” Yunho inquired as he settled on the couch. “What movie is that from?”
“Our movie.”
“Interesting.”
Jaejoong grinned and plopped down next to Yunho. He glanced at the clock to realize that it was pretty late. “You’ll probably fall asleep during the movie. So I’ll do this while you’re still awake.”
“Huh?”
Jaejoong laid a loud kiss on Yunho’s lips and grinned, “I love you.”
Yunho blushed and smiled happily while Jaejoong turned back to the T.V. It was becoming a routine for Jaejoong to do that every night before they went to sleep. Yunho had stopped tensing up, but he really needed to work on his blushing…not that it mattered.
They were already on their way to their own happily-ever-after.

Kibum looked up from his blueprint when Changmin walked into his secret office.
“Finally found it?” he raised an eyebrow at the taller man.
“Took me an hour,” Changmin retorted. He had to go through every inch of Kibum’s office to find the hidden switch to open the entrance to this secret office.
Then he noticed that Kibum was looking disapprovingly at his clothes: a T-shirt and a pair of slacks.
“Didn’t I agree to today’s date because you agreed to not wear a suit?”
“I’m not wearing a suit!” Changmin defended.
“That’s not what it looks like from afar!” Kibum protested.
It was true. Changmin was wearing black (or really dark blue) jeans. His T-shirt wasn’t too big or too small. The problem with it was that it was designed to look like a form fitting tuxedo. The imprints included a vest and a tie.
“But it still isn’t a suit.”
“You’re hopeless,” Kibum sighed with a smile.
Changmin laughed as he wandered the office. “Woah, is this a robot? Another one of your cool inventions?”
“Yes, it can perform nearly any task you can think of.”
“Then why isn’t it out in the market? Don’t you want people to know about it?”
“No, I’d rather not. The human race is lazy enough. I don’t want to be an accomplice in the downfall of the human race.”
Changmin chuckled at Kibum’s sarcastic tone. “So I guess this robot needs to be kept secret, huh?”
“Yes, so I may need to kill you to prevent this secret from leaking out.”
“Or you could just marry me.”
“What?” Kibum was caught off guard by that. His hands began to fidget so he dropped the pen.
“I don’t betray my spouse so I’ll definitely keep this secret for you. It saves you the work of having to cover my murder too,” Changmin grinned, but his anxiety was still apparent. He looked cute.
Kibum decided to mess with him a little longer, even if he wanted oh-so-much to jump into the other man’s embrace.
“Wouldn’t it be more logical to date for several years before marriage? It’s only been three months.”
“Would it be logical to be stupid enough to give you time to run away from me? No, it’ll be more logical to tie you down with a ring.”
“Is that so?”
“Very so.”
“If you say so, Mr. Shim.”
“I would like it if you’re so compliant even after the marriage, Mrs. Shim.”
“Why am I ‘Mrs. Shim’? Why can’t you be ‘Mrs. Kim’?”
