CHAPTER 24

THIRD PERSON POV

Sunoo was frozen on his spot,

trying to digest the moment but he was

failing miserably.

Sunghoon pulled back and looked up at

him. he saw him in a complete daze so

he slightly caressed his cheeks with his

not-so-soft hands.

"It's ok if you don't love me Darling. I

know you were drunk that night and

I might've overheard and concluded

that you... you love me.. but if you

don't... it's okay, I won't force you." A

hint of sadness was clear in his tone

that brought Sunoo back to reality.

"It's a dream. right?" Sunoo

whispered with teary eyes, he was

overwhelmed with happiness and that

was hurting him.. why? Coz whenever

he got happy with someone, that

someone always betrayed him or left

him. Just like his father.. his mother..

Jungwon and that's what he feared the

most.

"No, it's not sweetie."

"Whatever I said.. that night, it's true. I

truly meant that but... I was afraid that

you-"

"I know...I am sorry... I am really sorry for everything you suffered from. But love.. now I truly mean it." Sunghoon said with so many emotions that Sunoo broke down due to happiness. Every nickname was sending him onto cloud nine, making it difficult to believe that it was really happening.

"Hey.. hey.. please don't cry.. I am

Sorry... I am really-"

"Don't be sorry..." A small hiccup made

him whine.

"But you are crying and I can't see you

like that," Sunghoon frowned while

cupping his cheeks, wiping his tears he

gulped at the sight.

"It's because of happiness.. I am so- so

much happy... I thought that y-you will

never find my love." Sunoo sobbed,

tears still falling from his eyes and his

lips were in between a smile and a

pout which looked beyond adorable.

Sunghoon was surprised by his words

but soon he chuckled as he found it

cute.

He quickly engulfed the sobbing boy

in a warm embrace and gently patted

his head with a smile. "You are so

much worthy... so precious.. I don't

know how I got you but I am happy

that I met you." Sunghoon's voice was

muffled because he was nuzzling in

the other's neck but he backed off

when he heard beautiful sounds of

giggles.

Sunoo was giggling because he felt

tickled by Sunghoon's actions.

Sunghoon saw him giggling cutely

while his eyes were still teary and he

couldn't help but coo internally and

leaned forward. Sunoo quickly

stiffened when he felt the decreasing

distance between their faces.

"Your giggles are beautiful... you know

that?" Sunghoon asked in a sensual way while leaning more he saw the younger gulping in nervousness and he surely enjoyed seeing him so much flustered. Who wouldn't enjoy a beautiful shade of pink that was spreading on his bread cheeks.

"So beautiful...so adorable.... so

innocent," Sunghoon inhaled softly,

leaning more so that Sunoo fell

on the soft mattress witha soft thud

and he took the chance to cage him in

between his arms while hovering him

completely.

"You know what angel... you are mine...

just mine.." His eyes were showing

dominance and Sunoo was feeling

so submissive under his gaze. What

a man Sunghoon as to shift his

emotions in an instant, from his crying

and gloomy self to an overjoyed and

now, a flustered one, really, what an

effect.

"Yours? Forever?" A hit of confidence

caused him to ask what was roaming

in his mind when he licked his dry

lins.

"Mine *smooch* Forever *smooch*" Sunghoon gently kissed on Sunoo's eyes and then got up from bed with a smirk because Sunoo was looking like a cherry, a lost cherry that he has just claimed.

Cute...

"Now get up, we are going for dinner.. your Ri-ki is waiting for us," Sunghoon cleared his throat as if nothing happened and Sunoo compiled, hanging his head low to cover his burning cheeks. He slowly moved to the edge of the bed and was about to get up when Sunghoon quickly picked him up bridal style, a yelp left his lips on that and the other smirked seeing him so fragile.

"You didn't say it back," Sunghoon said

in a teasing tone once the younger was

in his embrace, on his mercy while boring eyes into Sunoo's lips.

Sunoo squirmed a little in his arms

but stopped when Sunghoon's grip

tightened not so harshly but enough to show him dominance.

"Do I s-till need that?" Sunoo stuttered with big doe eyes and the raven-haired felt something melting inside his body.

"I will wait." With that Sunghoon started walking to the door and opened it with his foot as it wasn't locked. Sunoo thought that he got mad at him when he fell silent,

his mind started giving him negative

thoughts and he concluded to take an

action. Without any second thoughts,

he tightly tugged on Sunghoon's shirt,

causing him to stop in his tracks.

Sunghoon looked down at him with

raised brows and Sunoo again

gulped but said that.

"IIoveyousomuchMr.Park" He breathed

heavily a little after saying those words and smiled a little sheepishly.

"Well I appreciate your effort but I

think it lacks emotions." Sunghoon fake

pouted but burst into laughter after "I know you are shy, it's ok. I was just teasing you, my love," Sunoo was internally squealing at all those nicknames he had gotten in a few

moments that he could count as the best of his life.

Is he planning to kill me with all these

nicknames?

Sunoo nuzzled his face in his chest

and Sunghoon moved his arms for a

more protective posture.

They entered the dining room in the

same posture and Ni-ki almost

broke a glass when he saw Sunghoon

smiling cutely with Sunoo in his

arms who was hiding his face in his

chest.. also smiling, shyly.

"Is he ok? Hyung?? Baby you ok? You are so red" Ni-ki blabbered when he saw Sunoo's red cheeks and was about to touch them when Sunghoon growled.

Without wasting any time, Ni-ki

quickly severed yummy food and

Heeseung also came at the perfect time.

Kang-min wasn't there to have another

shock, but the other two had their

portion.

They all ate in silence but Ni-ki was

continuously glaring at two boys, his

boss was smirking while Sunoo was smiling shyly throughout the dinner.

What's wrong with them? Did alcohol

hit his system today? And Hyung... man. He seriously spent the whole day sulking.. crying and now he is smiling like a teenage girl What happened in the

room? Why they are so calm and happy

when Than practically yelled at him in the morning??

"Arghhhhhhh" He groaned when he didn't conclude the situation and everyone looked at him.

"Don't stress yourself Nishimura...

everything is fine?" sunghoon said

with the same smirk and Ni-ki just

nodded dumbly, feeling embarrassed.

After dinner, Sunghoon again carried

Sunoo to his room and went back

to his own room to change and be

fresh. After showering he went back to

Sunoo's room and saw him reading

a book while he was laying on his

stomach.

Sunghoon made his way so quietly to

his bed and jumped on him, careful

enough not to hurt his ankle.

"Ahhhhhhhh......... mph!" Sunoo

Screamed but his scream was soon get

muffled by Sunghoon's hand.

"It's me.. why are you still awake?

Don't you have college tomorrow?"

Sunghoon cackled while retreating his

hand from Sunoo's mouth who pouted at his act, still in the same laying position.

"You scared the hell out of me.I was

SO much immersed in the book and

see... my heart... I think one day it will

get explode just BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Sunoo whispered yell at him while

patting his chest to calm his running

heart.

"Don't say something like that,"

Sunghoon said ina stern tone and

Sunoo finally got up from his

laying position.

"About your questions... I slept for

extra hours in the morning so I am

not sleepy yet. And I don't have any

classes for this week due to the festival

so yeah... no college!" Sunoo smiled

while nodding his head like a cute,

excited puppy.

"Ok... O we can go somewhere on an

outing" Sunghoon suggested, leaning

on his bed sideways.

"Really?? Can we?" Sunoo beamed

in happiness and slightly jumped onto

the bed but soon winced when he felt

pain in his ankle.

"Hey, careful... and yeah why not. I

want to take you to beautiful places..

and shopping too." Sunghoon smiled

when he saw squealing Sunoo.

"Wow. it's been years since I went

shopping... well, I used to go to some

shops but only to buy something for

fa-father or for groceries." Sunoo

smiled sadly when a glimpse of his

hurtful past passed his eyes.

Sunghoon noticed that wave of change

and he wasted no time comforting his

love. He grabbed his hands and pulled

him towards himself so that Sunoo

ended up on his lap. Sunghoon securely

Wrapped his arms around him while

continuing caressing his hands, while

the younger was awestruck by the

gesture.

"Past is past. I will give you so much

love and affection that every scar of

your past will fade away. I will try my

best to give you every happiness in

your life." Sunghoon stated in so much

soothing way that Sunoo felt like melting.

"I love you, Mr. Park... I love you since

you showed me your real side... your

caring side. I am just afraid of my fate,

it always betrayed me.. snatching all

of my loved ones from me. I am afraid

that. that you-" Tears were already

spilling from his eyes, fearing the

Worst when the good just came into his

life.

"It won't happen. never ever.. your

fate will change. You said that I give

you hope so just believe in me.."

Sunghoon pulled him closer to his

chest, arms securing the petite frame

to share the warmth of their bodies.

He was feeling so much relieved and

happy after confession and was surely

enjoying the company of his adorable

love. How naive of him to delay this

moment til now, and how stupid of

him to think that he can actually not

fall for this fluff ball in his arms, but as

ever, his fate played well, bringing him

to the only one... it was just them now.

Him and I.

"Can you sing?" Sunghoon asked after a while and sunoo hummed as his eyes we're close.

"I don't know if it's good or not but my Mom used to say thatI have a beautiful voice." Sunoo bragged while giggling on the warm chest.

"Sing please.." Sunghoon said with smile showing his vampire teeth, feeling content at the moment.

Sunoo quickly pulled away from

his lap and lay on the side. Sunghoon

followed down on the bed, covering

both of them with the same blanket as

slowly their limbs tangled up.

Sunoo slowly started singing... he

sang the same song... the song that

gave him the first hint that he fell hard

for his captor.

"There's nothing like us...

There's nothing like you and me"

He continued singing and Sunghoon

felt like he heard the most beautiful felt like he heard the most beautiful voice. Sunoo's voice was so deep yet so soothing, He soon felt like all of his worries disappeared from his life and he had his love near him to suffice every empty space. He unconsciously grabbed Sunoo's waist and pulledbhim closer again.

Sunoo felt so happy and he scooted

further to a more comfortable position.

He continued singing till he heard

soft snores and when he looked

at Sunghoon who fell asleep while

listening to his song, a sudden bubble

of happiness burst in his heart.

He must be tired.

He thought while examining Sunghoon's features from up close. His every feature was perfect, his pointed nose, chiseled jaw, pink, bow-shaped lips, and those doe eyes, what a perfect Sculpture face.

So handsome..

While enjoying the warmth of his

love with a smile on his face and the

satisfaction of having his crush as his

love, he finally entered dreamland.

...

Sunghoon woke up with a mumbling

sound and groaned in distress but

Soon opened his eyes to see a panting

Sunoo beside him. His eyes shot

open when he saw him like that,

feeling worried he tried to hear him.

"N-oo. Don't.. leave me..."

He could just hear those Words

when Sunoo started crying in his

sleep, sobbing like he was struggling.

Sunghoon quickly caressed his cheeks,

finding it painful in his own heart to see him like this.

"Love... wake up... Sunoo baby." Trying

a few times, Sunoo finally opened

his eyes and when he saw Sunghoon

half leaning on him while supporting

his body with his elbow, he sighed in

relief.

his head and his tears, using his own

sleeves, and smiled to calm him.

"Morning, angel."

"M-mor-morning" Sunoo softly replied.

"Past?" Sunghoon asked, referring to

the nightmare.

"No. ma-maybe, f-future" Sunoo

stuttered with closed eyes.

"I don't know what you saw.. but it's

just a nightmare so just forget it. Don't

be sad ok?" Sunghoon hugged him

warmly.

Sunoo thought for a moment and

finally decided to share.

"I- I saw that y-you left me.. just- just like others." Sunoo looked up at him with

fearful eyes. "I don't w-want to lose

you too.. I- will die." His lower lip

trembled while confessing his true

feelings, his true fears.

Sunghoon again engulfed his petite

frame in strong arms, a strong pang on

the words made him exhale loudly.

"It won't happen again, it will change

this time... don't worry, please." He kissed Sunoo's hair many times.

"Now get up.. we will go shopping

and then to a secret place," Sunghoon

whispered in his ears after a short

moment and saw amusingly that his

ear quickly turned red.

After breakfast, they left for shopping..

of course leaving a frustrated Ni-ki,

who was still puzzled by the changed

behavior of Sunghoon.

...

"Boss they are going to the mall. I am

sure that Than is quite close to that boy."

"Keep an eye on them. especially on

that boy. I need to give that Park taste

of his own bitterness. " The person

chuckled, nodding his head in victory.

"THAN! ............ FINALLY I FOUND A WEAKNESS OF YOU"
