THIRD PERSON POV

Sunoo was tired after a long day of
overwork at the campus. He plopped
on the bed and grabbed the pillow to
take a bit of rest before dinner. The
whole week was tiring for him due to
exams and yeah due to unstoppable
teasing from Sunghoon too.

"I want to sleep~," He whined to no
one and closed his eyes but soon his
moment of rest got disturbed by his
phone buzzing.

"Who is this?" He grabbed the phone
with half opened eyes and looked up
at the caller's id. It was a new number
so he picked it up.

"Sunoo! How are you, sweetie?"" A
girl beamed from the other side and in
surprise Sunoo's eyes opened like a
saucer. He put the phone right in front
of his eyes and looked at the number
again. Just when he was about to end
the call he heard,

"Hey, it's me. Your new friend wonyoung stephan. Forgot me already?"

"Ahh. Hi Ms. Wonyoung. Sorry, I was just a little surprised. Btw how are you?

"I am good. Well, I was planning for
shopping with you.. are you free this
weekend? I know your exams are
ending this week. So please don't say
no.. please~"

"Um.. I will tell you after asking Mr.Park" Sunoo hesitated in making a
decision.

"Oh come on. Don't tell him as he will be
out of the city this weekend due to some
business. Let's buy some surprise gift
for him before he comes back."

"O.. ok." He sighed defeated.

"I will pick you up at weekend."
With that, she ended the call.

Sunoo didn't want to go with her
but the idea of giving a surprise to
Sunghoon hit him. A sweet smile crept
on his lips but soon faded.
"Why he is going to another city?
And he didn't tell me about that." He
pouted at the thought.

...

"Why you are so quiet?" Sunghoon
asked Sunoo who was kind of playing with his food... a pout never leaving his plump lips.

"Not in the mood." Sunoo showed him his rare bratty side and Sunghoon's eyes widened at his words.

"Angel!" Sunghoon used his dominant
voice and Sunoo whined with the same pout.

"Don't you angel me! You are going to
another city, leaving me alone here
and you didn't even bother to tell me
about it. Wow. now you are talking
like you are the most innocent person
sitting here." He huffed at the end
while Sunghoon was beyond surprised
but his mind stopped on one thing.

"How do you know that I am going
somewhere?" Sunghoon asked in a
serious tone as this was a kind of a
very secret mission, not his business
deal. No one knew about that except
for Heeseung as he was going to
accompany him for the deal. This
was a kind of Mafia meeting and he
was totally surprised when he heard
Sunoo talking about that.

"What? Now you are more focused
on how I know that.? I am mad."
Sunoo pouted again, pressuring on
the word mad, ignoring a glare from

Sunghoon.

"Sunoo, I am asking who told you
about that?" His voice was low but
deep and Sunoo gulped hearing his
dominant voice.

"Um.. I. Don't you have a business
trip? You mentioned weeks ago that
you will go." Sunoo tried to defend
himself as he almost got caught and
he didn't want to tell himn about Wonyoung.
Thanks to his memory that he quickly
remembered that Sunghoon once mentioned his business trip.

"Well. Yeah, it's a business trip and
you know you are not alone here. Just
don't roam around when I won't be
here. Ok?" He quickly nodded like an
obedient child. Sunghoon thought to
use the word business trip.

"Gotta go. Wish me good luck with
my last exam!" Sunoo after finishing his breakfast took his bag from the chair and looking up at Sunghoon, again chirped.
Sunghoon smiled, looking up at his
innocent love, and patted his head
affectionately.

"Good luck to my angel.. take care."
He kissed his forehead and Sunoo
closed his eyes with a smile. He silently
nodded and left while waving like a
child, feeling all the lucks struck him
after that wish, overdramatic, right?

...

On campus, he was greeted by Seojun
who quickly hugged him again.

"So what's your plan this weekend?"

Seojun asked him and Sunoo told
him everything that was planned with
Wonyoung. Seojun asked him if he can join and he happily agreed.

When Sunoo was back after his last exam, he was practically flying everywhere.

"Ri-kiiIiI ~" He sang while skipping
towards the kitchen where Ni-ki
was cutting vegetables.
Sunoo back hugged him tightly.

"Woah! Finally, you are free." Ni-ki
left the knife and patted his head with
a smile. Sunoo nodded furiously,
his boxy smile on full display.

"Nishimura i am leaving. Don't let him
go anywhere and if he insists, go with
him!" They heard Sunghoon's voice
from a distance, who definitely didn't
notice Sunoo's presence in the mansion.

Sunoo quickly skipped seeing Sunoo quickly skipped seeing Sunghoon and back-hugged him too, halting him in his track.

"Don't go~" He whined and a smile
formed on Sunghoon's face in an
instant when the sweet voice melted in
his ears.

"Angel.. I have to. But promise that
you will take care of yourself." He
gently said to the younger. Sunoo took a deep breath but nodded Somehow.

Sunghoon took his hands in his own
and kissed his knuckles softly, then
the back of his palms, his wrists, and
finally his jaw. Pink was already
dusted on Sunoo's cheeks, causing
his love to chuckle at his cuteness.

Soon Sunghoon left leaving a whining
Sunoo who can never get used to the distance between them.

...

Jungwon was sulking in his office he wanted to throw everything but he can't.. because in the end, he had to settle again. Duh!

"What's Wrong with you Jungwon?" A
voice echoed in his office that he didn't
want to hear.

"Not again." He muttered under his
breath.

"You can tell me, what is bothering
you," Jay said while taking a se in front of Jungwon who just gave him a glare.

"What? You want to eat me with your
eyes?" Jay joked when he saw Jungwon continuously glaring at him.

"You know what is bothering me? Why
you are keeping me from going back to
Seoul? Please let me go.. please!" Jungwon pleaded but Jay just shook his head.

After their trip to abroad, Jay gave
him an apartment and took his mother
there, leaving no reason for him to
leave. But still, Jungwon always insists
that he wants to go to Seoul.

"Your mother is here. Now, why do you
want to go there?"

"None of your business, Mr. Park. You
don't own me. I am free to do whatever
I want and you can not stop me from
doing so!" Jungwon slammed his hands
on the table...full of anger as he was
getting more and more frustrated with
thoughts of Sunoo. It's been months
and yet he didn't get any news of his
only best friend.

Jay was looking at him with wide
eyes and he took a little time to calm
himself.

"I don't own you but I love you. And I
can't let you go anywhere." The older
said so calmly in low voice but his
words were louder than bombs  that directly hit on Jungwon's heart.

"W-what?"

"-But why?" Jungwon was beyond
surprised.

"Love never sees why and how. I
thought you are wise enough to get to
know my feelings but unfortunately,
you never took an effort. I just wanted
to tell you the truth..." He sucked in a
deep breath and continued.

"I am in a Mafia and as you are close
to me, all of my enemies know about
you. I am keeping you here so that I
can protect you from them. So please
try to understand, it's not wise to go
there alone." With that Jay left the
office while Jungwon was just sitting on
his chair wide-eyed, mouth ajar, face
red... fast heartbeat.

"Love?? Mafia?? Protect?? Am I
dreaming?? Arghhhhhhh!" He grabbed
his hair tightly, pulling some strands.
It was too much to take in within a few
abrupt moments. He just wanted to
escape but he knew that he can't.

...

Sunoo was lucky enough as Ni-ki
and kang-min were out for some reason
and other men were busy with their
work. He quietly changed his clothes
and went to Sunghoon's room as his
room lacked a window. Using his
childhood skills, he jumped out of the
room and succeeded in escaping the

mansion.
On few blocks away from the mansion,
Wonyoung was waiting for him in her car.

When she saw him running towards
her car, she quickly waved at him
from the window and Sunoo entered the car while huffing.
"Wow.. it.. was fun," He said in
between his huffs and Wonyoung smiled.

"So are you ready for more fun?"
Sunoo quickly nodded, feeling excited and Wonyoung started the engine.

The drive was full of fun as loud songs
were playing in the car and both were
singing along, laughing, and cheering.

In the mall, Wonyoung took him to many expensive shops and even bought some things for him too. Sunoo was enjoying her company completely oblivious to her true intentions.

"So what about a surprise gift for Sung-
I mean Mr. Park?" Sunoo asked shyly after some time.

"Oh yeah. Let's take these." She pointed
towards a very expensive shop where
Some rare kinds of jackets were hanging.

"What are these?" He asked innocently
once he entered the shop and looked
up close at the jackets.

"These are rare collections Sunoo.
These lines are made up of gold and
here buttons are of pure diamonds."
She explained in excitement.

"Yes Sir. It's a really rare collection
and gold and diamonds are pure."
The shopkeeper also explained and
Sunoo was just looking at the jacket in awe. No doubt the jacket was reaming expensive just by the looks  and rare designs made of gold were so much more attractive.

"This will look awesome on him." His
fingers delicately traced the fabric with a happy glint in his eyes and wonyoung heard his words.

"Yeah, he always likes that kind of
stuff." She commented like she knows
him better than anyone. Sunoo felt a little jealous of her words but shrugged.

"How much?" He asked from Shopkeeper., very excited.

"100 million." Sunoo choked on air.

"Isn't so much expensive?"
He whispered to Wonyoung who felt
embarrassed by his reaction.

"Sunoo what do you expect from this shop.. moreover this is antique. I am sure he will be more than happy. Just take it." She compiled and Sunoo nodded hesitantly.

He already brought the card that
Sunghoon gave him and to his luck, it
was worth taking the card. He handed
the card to the Shopkeeper who
quickly accepted and did his work.

"It's my first time to use his money like
that." He mumbled, now feeling kind
of bad for spending his money.

"It's ok. You are using his money for
him.. so no worries."

Wonyoung told him that she had to take a call So she left him alone in the middle of the mall. Right then he got a message
from Seojun and soon he was standing
right in front of him, giving him a Sweet smile.

"Wow, that's fast!"" Sunoo beamed
and Seojun quickly hugged him.,

"Yeah. I am fast. Well sorry for being
late.. where is your other friend?"

"Um. She left for a call." But soon
Sunoo got a message from wonyoung
that she had to go home due to some
emergency.

"Actually she left me." Sunoo
pouted while looking at his phone
Screen.

"I am craving ice cream," He suddenly
mentioned to Seojun who was
suspecting something but smiled at his
Words.

"Wish granted your highness," He
teased him but got a smack on his arm.

"I told you not to call me highness!"
Sunoo  yelled at him with a frown
and a few people gave hima weird
look who was passing by.

"Your crew is watching you. Your
Highness~" Seojun whispered and
Sunoo quickly open his mouth but shut it when he saw people actually glaring at him.

He stomped towards an ice cream
parlor, trailing behind seojun who
ordered for both. They sat at a table
with 3 cups of ice cream, 1 for seojun
and 2 for Sunoo.

Sunoo showed him the jacket that he bought for Sunghoon. He was talking nonstop about many things, like when he sawa kid fighting with a shopkeeper for a plushie and a man who was looking at him like he stole his kidney. He was laughing and enjoying himself while seojun was just listening to him with a smile. Suddenly Seojun leaned over Sunoo and the other male stiffened, blinking rapidly at the close proximity.

Softly and gently, Seojun wiped the
ice cream from the corner of his lips
while looking deeply at his lips. The
angle was good for the one person who
was smirking while taking continuous
clicks of two boys, just to create the scene in the eyes of Spectator.
