"I want noodles too." Yugyeom whines when he sees Jinyoung eating some instant ramen.

"Here." Jinyoung laughs as he holds up a fork full of noodles for Yugyeom to eat and Yugyeom does with a big smile on his face.

"You're such a fatass." Jackson playfully rolls his eyes at Yugyeom.

"No I'm not." Yugyeom shouts as he runs out of the room.

"He's so weird." Jackson scoffs and continues watching Jinyoung eat.

"Are you sure you're not the weird one?" Jinyoung asks with a small laugh, holding up a fork with noodles to Jackson.

"I don't know, maybe I am." Jackson shrugs and slurps the noodles up.

Jackson looked up and a smile bloomed onto his face. "Hey, Jaebum."

Jinyoung looked up from his food only to find Jaebum leaning against the door frame.

"Hey, Jackson. I came here to ask Jinyoung for help but I see that he's pretty busy." Jaebum told Jackson, pretending like Jinyoung isn't there.

"What do you need help with?" Jinyoung asked Jaebum while twirling some noodles around his fork.

"It's my turn to clean the swords." Jaebum smirked when Jinyoung made a face of disgust.

"Ew, okay. See you later Jackson." Jinyoung stood up, gave Jackson a small wave and followed Jaebum out with his cup of noodles in hand.

"What did you need help with?" Jinyoung asked Jaebum when they got outside.

"Nothing, just wanted some company." Jaebum shrugged as he started filling a bucket with water and soap.

Jinyoung hummed in response and let silence take over, the only sound heard was the occasional slurp of noodles.

Jinyoung watched as Jaebum started scrubbing the bloody swords, how his biceps would flex, how his hands started gettin stained with blood, how good he-

Ew, stop it Jinyoung. Jinyoung mentally scolded himself and looked down at his noodle cup.

"Do you want some?" Jinyoung asked Jaebum, bringing the fork full of noodles close to his mouth.

Jaebum stopped scrubbing the swords and looked up a Jinyoung. "Finally, I was waiting for you to ask. I'm starving."

"You could've asked in the first place." Jinyoung scoffed as he shoved the noodles inside Jaebum's mouth.

"Gentle." Jaebum said with his mouth full of noodles.

"GeNtLe." Jinyoung mimicked him, laughing a little when Jaebum sent him a glare.

Jinyoung's eyes widened as Jaebum lept towards him, he had just enough time to set the noodles aside before Jaebum was on top of him.

"Ew, don't touch me. Your hands are covered with blood." Jinyoung closed his eyes tightly as he blurted out the words.

Jaebum didn't listen and laughed as he smeared bloody soap suds onto Jinyoung's cheeks.

"Jae~, why would you do that?" Jinyoung pouted as he looked up at Jaebum.

"You look hotter with blood on your face." Jaebum smirked as he sat up and started cleaning the swords again. Jinyoung laid on the floor as blood rushed to his cheeks.

"How could you say such vulgar things?" Jinyoung asked as he sat up, wiping the blood off with some water. Jaebum just threw his head back and laughed at Jinyoung's words.

Jinyoung smiled and let his eyes wander over to Jaebum's necklace, it was a dog tag necklace but it looked like it was made out of wood.

"I like your necklace." Jinyoung commented, making Jaebum stop laughing but he did smile softly as he looked down at his necklace.

"Thank you." Jaebum thanked Jinyoung as he took the necklace in between his fingers. Jinyoung's eyes stayed glued to Jaebum's necklace, taking in the little details.

Jaebum hesitantly took off the necklace and passed it to Jinyoung. Jinyoung's eyes met Jaebum's as he took he necklace with delicate fingers. He could tell that the necklace meant a lot to Jaebum.

Jinyoung looked back down at the necklace in his palm and turned it over, finding Jaebum's name carved in the back. "Did you make this?" Jinyoung asked as he admired the necklace.

"No, my dad made it for me." Jaebum said, looking down at his long fingers.

"He died." Jaebum added, making Jinyoung snap his head up.

"Why are you letting me hold this? Oh my god!" Jinyoung panicked as he gave Jaebum the necklace back.

"It's fine." Jaebum chuckled as he put the necklace back on.

Silence took over once again as Jaebum started scrubbing the swords and Jinyoung looked around. Jinyoung's eye caught something as he stared into the forest behind their house.

"Jae." Jinyoung called Jaebum, who just hummed in response.

"People are looking at us." Jinyoung mumbled as he watched a person stand up from afar.

Jaebum turned his head towards where Jinyoung was looking and indeed saw someone peering through the shadows.

"Jinyoung, stay with me." Jaebum whispered as he watched the person quickly take a leave.
