CHAPTER 25

THIRD PERSON POV

Sunoo was happily walking in the

mall with his love on his side, holding

him possessively.

Sunghoon was timely saying him

to walk slowly, as he was worried

about his ankle but Sunoo being

Sunoo, was skipping as he already

forgot about his pain.

"So, where you wanna go first?"

Sunghoon asked and Sunoo was

internally squealing like a teenager at

that question... but he hesitated.

"Um.. anywhere you want." Sunghoon

wasn't satisfied with his answer as he

saw himn stealing glances at a specific

shop. He smiled knowing that his

innocent and precious love is feeling

hesitant to ask something.. so he

decided to take the first step and lead

him to PRADA.

"Take whatever you want." Sunghoon

left his hand in a big shop. It took a minute to understand the older as Sunoo was just watching the expensive clothes.. it was definitely his first time seeing those clothes.

"Um.. I don't need more clothes as I already have enough." He scratched his neck to avoid the awkwardness that he was feeling.

"Ok. it means I have to pick," Sunghoon

smirked, noticing Sunoo's face with

confused big eyes, he started picking

random but striking clothes for him.

He almost made a pile that a helper

was carrying and Sunoo was just

looking at him in shock.

"I don't have that much money,"

Sunoo mumbled to himself but

Sunghoon heard that and he chuckled.

"It's me who is gonna pay for your

needs!"

"But right now I don't need these

expensive clothes, I just need some art

tools for my upcoming exams.. that's

all." Sunoo tried to protest in low voice, feeling very bad but alas.

"Pack all of these." Sunghoon completely ignored his protest and told the helper who was more than happy to compile.

After buying a lot of clothes and many

more things, they finally reached the

shop that Sunoo wanted to go

and finally, they were purchasing the

needed tools they decided to eat.

"It should be me to pay for tools... I

brought the savings that you gave me

last time," Sunoo again started while taking small sips from a strawberry milkshake that Sunghoon ordered a few minutes ago.

"Don't worry about these things. I just

want to make you happy."

"You already made me more than

happy with your confession, I don't

need anything else." Sunghoon smiled

at his words. Just like his words his

face was so pure... so beautiful.

After a little while, food arrived and they quickly started eating, specially Sunoo who was feeling hungry from all walking.

Sunghoon was eating the beauty in

front of him with his eyes, his eyes

were filled with love... as Sunoo

was so immersed in eating with an

adorable pout. Everything felt so

euphoric, so amazing, and contented

to fill his heart.

But he stopped eating when he noticed

that Sunghoon was leaning towards

him, making him gulp in nervousness,

he was just feeling that this time his

heart must jump out of his chest and

fall on the plate of Japchae that was

half empty.

"Wh- w-" He couldn't form more words

as Sunghoon finally moved his hand

and wiped his lips with his thumb

slowly and licking that afterward.

"You eat like a kid... a sinful kid."

Sunghoon's voice was low but so deep

that Sunoo gulped visibly. his cheeks were already heating with full bloom and it felt like bursting any moment.

Sunghoon just chuckled that how a

small act of his hand can fluster the

other so easily, so adorable and pure,

indeed.

Mine... Just mine.

"Where are we going now?" Sunoo

asked when they again entered the car

after a tiring shopping session.

"Secret place." Sunoo just hummed in response as beautiful scenery caught his attention.

"Look..look... it's so beautiful!" He jumped in excitement when he saw a utiful rose garden, the scenery was just so mesmerizing but for the older,

nothing felt more beautiful than the

person who looked genuinely happy.

"Yes... so beautiful." Little did he know

that Sunghoon admired a living beauty

beside him, living every second of the

day.

After driving for more minutes, they

finally reached their destination.

Sunoo was just watching in awe as

it was a beautiful cottage built in an

abandoned but beautiful place.

"Wow.. it's so beautiful." Sunoo

mumbled when Sunghoon lead him to

the cozy place.

"My father built it on his own when I

was 5 years old... we used to visit that

place very often. He used to play piano

and I used to sing.. but we stopped

visiting this place when my mother

died. It was the most depressing era

for both of us but, my father tried

his best to make me happy. We again

started visiting here and that's when

I made this part." Sunghoon let out his past that only a few people know as he pointed towards a wall painted with so many colors but black was the dominant one.

"It shows my life of those days... nights

were too much dark but I had to face

people with a smile in the daytime."

Sunghoon chuckled but little did he

know that Sunoo was tearing up

just by listening to a little glimpse of

his painful times.

Sunghoon was surprised when he felt

two arms wrapped around his waist,

hugging him tightly from the side, he

also heard some sniffles and that made

him froWn.

"Sweetie??? Why are you crying?

What's Wrong? Are you hurt?"

Sunghoon asked with concern after

pushing the other a little to see his face

but Sunoo again snuggled into his

chest, refusing to leave.

"I-I am sorry.. about your.. mo- mother.. you must be - too much hurt." Sunoo croaked in between his sobs He is so sensitive...

"It's ok love... it's all in the past. Everything is fine now."

"Y- you are sad." Sunoo's muffled

Voice was full of emotions like it was all about his own mother.

"I am fine, angel." Sunghoon pulled

back him and kissed his forehead, lips

lingering for longer while his heart

bloomed with pride to have someone

like this beautiful angel inside and out

by his side.

"Th-thanks again for sharing your

past." Sunoo smiled after calming

down from his emotional episode, a

bit shy from the sudden kiss on his

forehead.

"No more thanks..." Sunghoon smiled

brightly followed by cute giggles from

Sunoo when he started tickling

him.

"Ahahaha... Mr. Pa- haha... stop. it

tickles..haha." Sunoo's laughter

filled the silent place and Sunghoon

was definitely enjoying his laughter.

Sunoo fell on the couch while

laughing, Sunghoon hovering over him.

"So are you going to say thanks again?

Hm??" Sunghoon teased him while

tickling more, erupting more squeals

and deep giggles from the red-haired.

"N-no haha Sorry. i wo- haha."

"That's my boy." Sunghoon finally

stopped, a smile still on his lips and

Sunoo slowly got up from the

couch after catching his breath. Before

he could say anything, Sunghoon's

phone buzzed and he quickly attended

the call with a frown.

"Petal.. we have to go now," Sunghoon

said apologetically as he was sure that

Sunoo was enjoying nature and his

company.. just like him but he had to

go.

"Ok.. where?" Sunoo asked with slightly wide eye.

"I had to go to my club because of

Some business.. it's on the way back

if you are comfortable, you can

accompany me otherwise I will drop

you first."

"No no. It's fine.. as long as I am with

you" Sunoo doesn't want to sound

cliche but he just showed his true

love through his words and no doubt

Sunghoon was touched by his words

and quickly nodded with a smile.

Soon they arrived at the club and

Heeseung told him that wonyoung wanted to meet him with her father in the club to discuss about business. Sunghoon doesn't want to do so but Heeseung told him that her father is leaving for the USA on the same night for about a whole month and the business deal is more important.

"This place seems so familiar,"

Sunoo muttered when he got out of

the car, trailing behind Sunghoon like a

lost puppy.

"Really? " Sunghoon raised his brow.

"Hello, Mr. Park Sunghoon... finally you

are here." STN Enterprise CEO greeted

Sunghoon warmly and Sunoo quickly stepped back when he Saw an old man in expensive attire with a beautiful girl behind him.

Sunoo slowly left the others to talk and started walking into the VIP section of the club, trying to remember the place.. but he bumped into someone, he quickly turned to face the person and apologized.

"I am so Sorry, Sir."

"Hey, you? Again? I think you finally

decided to take a good step." The

man smirked and Sunoo quickly

remembered the face and place.

"No no.. I am not here for that"

"Come on, it's been months and you

are still not sure? I said before I will

pay you more than anyone else." That

man again stated with a smug look and Sunoo just huffed in frustration.

"I am telling you, I am not here for that job, now will you excuse me?" Sunoo turned to leave and decided to wait for Sunghoon in the car but he couldn't as that man grabbed his wrist.

"Oh realy? Now you are showing me

attitude like you are here to hang out?

Do you have any idea how much this

place costs? You can't even pay for an

empty glass placed on that rack!" The

man scoffed and laughed mockingly

but those words definitely hurt him.

"My offer is still available... be a stripper and I will make you rich." That man took a step forward and Sunoo took one back but again bumped into a hard chest.

"Stripper??" Sunghoon's voice was so

much stern that Sunoo flinched.

"Yes, Mr. Park... remember I told

you before that a boy wanted to be

a bartender but I offered him to be

a stripper instead because he got such a sinful bod-" That man who was actually the manager of that club, couldn't complete his words as Sunghoon landed a hard punch on his face... leaving everyone in shock.

"Don't... talk to him like that!" Sunghoon

sneered through gritted teeth but that

manager was still confused.

"Mr. Park, I am going to- the car."

Sunoo tried to distract Sunghoon

but Sunghoon pulled him closer and

looked back at the manager.

"Say him sorry. RIGHT. NOW" He

growled and the Manager quickly

apologized, still confused but, of

course, had no other option except for

obeying the owner.

Sunghoon already talked a little about

business but realized that Sunoo

wasn't beside him so he quickly turned

back to look for him and when he

found him, his blood boiled at the

Words he heard about his innocent love.

"You are fired!" He announced to his

manager who just pleaded with eyes

but didn't utter a single word, afraid

for his life. Sunoo was silently

protesting about the whole situation

when he looked at the manager.

Sunghoon wasted no time and dragged

Sunoo with him to his car, still looking pissed as ever.

Wonyoung was looking at the whole scenario with amused eyes. "So possessive..it's gonna be so much fun Mr. Park Sunghoon." She mumbled with a smirk.

"Dad... let's finalize the paperwork. I

am going to make this deal with Han

Enterprise." She said to his father who

Scoffed irritated.

"But he seemed not much interested..

see how he left us, rude brat!" Her

father muttered.

"Don't worry dad.. he is a little angry

with that man. I am sure this deal

is gonna be the best deal for our

Company." Sweetly smiling, the girl

sipped on the wine in her glass.

...

"You shouldn't have fired him. his

family must suffer because of that..

please.. don't fire him." Sunoo

pleaded in his soft and deep voice,

fidgeting with his fingers in his lap.

"He used bad words for you... I

can't stand that." Sunghoon's voice

was still laced with anger but this

time, it didn't scare the other away

instead, Sunoo placed his hand on

Sunghoon's shoulder softly who quickly

looked up at him.

"Please. it's so hard to earn.. to find- find a job. Please don't do that." Sunoo's voice was full of emotions, his own miserable day and nights played in front of his eyes when he used to go door to door in search of some decent job.

Sunghoon stopped the car as they were

almost close to their mansion and

glanced at those beautiful brown orbs

of his innocent angel.

It was ridiculous to even think again,

how he bought him with the same

thought of sending him to his club as

a stripper and now he even hates the

Word with his name.

He smiled, grabbed Sunoo's hand from his shoulder, and kissed his knuckles very affectionately, pouring his admiration into the small gesture.

"Ok.. I won't do it.. happy?" Sunghoon

softly piped and Sunoo quickly

nodded, feeling immense happiness.

Sunghoon dialed the number of his

manager who again apologized after

receiving the call.

"l am not firing you just because of him. He is on the brink of crying because he is worried about your family, next time watch your mouth!" Sunghoon informed the man how generous is his love while the said person was continuously apologizing and promising to never do such a thing again.

After ending the call he looked back

at smiling Sunoo but his smile dropped when he noticed a mysterious car from a distance.

Before he could react, a bullet crashed

into the car window of the passenger

seat and his heart stopped for a moment.

Sunoo was leaning on his seat and it was his luck or maybe it was all planned... not to kill him but to threaten the Mafia boss... because the bullet hit the window in the upper corner, crashing the glass only.

Sunoo was shaking in fear, his

hands quickly reached his ears as

tears already filled in his big doe eyes,

"Sunoo?? You ok??" Sunghoon asked

panicked and when he saw that luckily

Sunoo wasn't injured he quickly

got out of the car and took his gun.

The silent alley soon got filled with the

banging of gunshots and Sunoo was still in his seat, watching the mafia boss firing at the unknown car. After hearing gunshots, Sunghoons men also came out of the mansion and joined him but the group succeeded to run.

"CHASE THEM!" Sunghoon growled and

his men started the engine of the other

Car on his order. On the other hand, Sunoo was engulfed in fear.

"Pa- Mr.. Park.. Sung.. no." The loud

bangs were just terrifying him to the

core, not for himself though, he was

afraid for his love.. afraid that his love

might get hurt. The chaos continued and found breathing difficult when his

chest started hurting again in distress,

causing him to whimper badly as

waves of pain started hitting him.

He shut his eyes tightly, clutching his

chest, just wishing to see Sunghoon safe

and sound but it became unbearable

and he couldn't do anything even

when he heard his name called by

Sunghoon.

"LOVE?? SUN????SUNOO!" The soft

pats on his skin were the last thing he

felt witha blurry image of someone

beside him but he couldn't reply as his

hand fell into his lap and his blurred

vision turned black.
