"NO," Sunghoon yelled and Jungwon turned back when he felt a strong grip on his arm. The raging black-haired yanked Sunghoon's hand while removing his hand from Sunoo's grip.

In the next moment, he again launched on Sunghoon, pinning him harshly on the wall with stabbing glare. Jay and all rushed to his side to stop him with wide eyes.

"DONT YOU DARE TO STOP HIM NOW!" Jungwon hissed at him, tightening his grip on Sunghoon's both arms.

"Stop it Jungwon. What are you doing? Stop it." Jay tried to free Sunghoon who was not even trying to get free.

"Jungwon. wh- what are you doing?" Sunoo tried to look for Jungwon with his stretched hands but couldn't grab his friend.

"I. Am. Taking. Him." Jungwon loosened his grip and turned back towards Sunoo who was just standing in a daze.

"I said, NO. You can't take him like that. Y-you can't." Sunghoon deadpanned at him with gritted teeth and Jay was getting annoyed by two, yet he was a little afraid as Sunghoon could do anything whenever he is angry.

"Why you two are totally neglecting his presence." Jake hissed at both younger but Jungwon didn't pay much attention and grabbed Sunoo's hand again.

"We are leaving, right now." He said to Sunoo who couldn't think properly about what to do.

But before he could react... Jungwon was pulled back harshly.

"I SAID. HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE."
Sunghoon growled at Jungwon after turning him harshly, his eyes screamed only one emotion, which was fear but Jungwon ignored that.

Everyone gasped when a loud punch landed the Mafia boss's face.

"YOU ARE NOT IN THE POSITION TO STOP HIM. DONT YOU THINK THAT YOU ALREADY RUINED HIS LIFE.. STOP IT PARK! JUST LET HIM LIVE HIS LIFE!" Jungwon snapped at the raven-haired who was just watching the beautiful male trembling.

"Get him." Kang-min and Heeseung tried to pray off Jungwon from Sunghoon. Jay was bewildered by the whole situation. He was just thinking one thing. Why Sunghoon isn't doing anything in defense??

"J- Jungwon stop.. please." The voice was almost inaudible but Sunghoon heard him, he quickly pushed back Jungwon with one hand and rushed to Sunoo who was stumbling.

"Hey. calm down. it's ok. It's ok. Breath."
Sunghoon said in a gentle voice to Sunoo, who was breathing heavily.

"S-Sun.. you ok?" Jungwon quickly pushed back Kang-min and heeseung and grabbed sunoo's hands. Sunoo weakly nodded his head.

"D- don't fi- fight." He mumbled, and Jungwon wanted to take him from sunghoon's arms but the other just gave him a death glare. Instead, sunghoon slowly picked up sunoo who was slowly closing his eyes due to exhaustion. Securely scooping the boy in his arms, he quickly stepped towards Sunoo's new room.

"I can't leave him here. See.. he is still suffering because of that devil." Jungwon snapped at Jay who just closed his eyes to control his building anger.

"You all need time. Calm down first.. we will talk in the morning." Jay tried to sound as calm as he could.

"Morning?? Ha.. Listen, Mr. Park, I am not here to stay. I just want to leave as soon as possible.. with Sun." He warned, showing his finger to the other.

Jay totally avoided the hurt feeling in his heart.
"Jungwon, please... . You see, he needs
rest. He came back from australia... please try to understand." Jay said in a soft voice and saw the questioning eyes of the boy.

"I want to know... everything," Jungwon demanded after a short moment and looked up at Ni-ki who glanced over at heeseung.

"Fine."

Sunghoon gently placed sunoo on his bed and wiped those stray tears from his cheeks.

"I don't want to lose you, my angel. But I will do. what you want." He whispered to the now sleeping boy... softly caressing his brown locks and tugging a few behind his ear with a sad smile.

...

"He gave him a chance Jungwon. Please try to understand." He politely said to a fuming boy.

"Chance? Don't you think that your so-called boss never deserves one? I can't believe.. how could you all be so insensitive... do you have a heart?" Jungwon snarled on all.

"We do have heart Jungwon shi... and that's why we gave him a chance as well. You didn't see him suffering from all pain in these past months... but we did. We saw him injured... not physically but mentally. He was totally broken." Jake explained and gently grabbed Jungwon's hand who snapped his head up with angry eyes.

"Please try to understand. I love Sunoo as
my younger brother and I thought the same as you. But slowly I realized that Sunghoon got the punishment for his deeds.. please let them be. Don't separate them once again." Jungwon was just listening with a blank expression.

"I want to listen to that from Sun's mouth." He said and got up from the sofa, leaving the mansion only to sit in the car in which they came with Jay sighed rubbing his temple.

"He is so stubborn," He muttered.

"You should rest as well Jay," Heeseung stated and jay nodded his head but instead of leaving for the bedroom, he left the mansion.
All others shared a very questioning look but no one knows the answer.

Slowly opening the door of the car... he entered the backseat where Jungwon was crying silently, leaning on the seat with closed eyes.

"Leave me alone, Mr. Park" Jungwon said in low voice, eyes still closed. Jay smiled a bit, ignoring the words he leaned more on the seat.

"I brought you here. so it's my responsibility to take care of you." He replied, closing his eyes as well. Jungwon opened his eyes and turned his head to see the other. His closed eyes... tired face were in his view. Jungwon felt bad for troubling the other. He found that there wasn't any fault of the other not at all.

Jay was definitely trying his best toward him. He even took him to his best friend as soon as he got the news. Reminding himself of all the good deeds the other did for him.. a word slipped from his lips without his desire.

"Thanks,"

Jay quickly shoots opened his eyes to look at the other just to confirm if is he sleep-talking. But he was wrong when he found the younger looking at him... deeply. Both of their heads were still he was Wrong when he found the younger looking at him... deeply. Both of their heads were still leaning on leather seats, facing each other.. eyes having a staring contest.

"For what?"

"For everything." Jay just nodded his head a little.

"Sorry." Another surprising word entered his ears and this time he frowned.

"For accusing of everything in past. I couldn't think wisely at that time. I know you were unaware of the whole situation I still blamed you. I am sorry for all my harsh behavior." He sincerely apologized to other who was just watching in a daze.

"No problem Jungwon ah. When we love someone.. we can't hurt them. Even if they hurt you in any way.. we can't do anything except for forgiving and forgetting." He smiled and Jungwon was thinking hard about his words.

"Do you stil.. still, love me?" He asked out of the blue and saw the other smiling lightly.

"True love never disappears... not with time. Even it's like a disease that got worse with every passing day."

Jungwon remained silent and turned back to the window. He let out a sigh... closing his eyes.

Did Sunoo still loves him?? That's why he gave him a chance even after going through so much pain. If he does.. am I doing the right thing to separate him? And why Mr. Park is always so much
concerned about me... if he truly loves me.. then am I doing the right thing with him too?

"Don't stress yourself too much Jungwon ah. If sunoo wants to stay. please let him be. He found his first love in Sunghoon and the same goes for Sunghoon. They truly loved each other. life was unfair to them but now they had their chance.
We don't have any right to take their happiness from them." Jay said and again closed his eyes when Jungwon didn't respond.

Jungwon was fighting with his thoughts. he just wanted to protect his best friend from the cruel world, he just wants his happiness.. nothing else.

After a while, he felt soft snores coming from Jays lips. He was so much tired after all. An unknown smile spread on Jungwonn's face watching his previous boss sleeping so peacefully.

He is handsome...

...

Sunoo groaned while opening his eyes slowly with his head was hurting due to crying too much.

His throat was dry so he slowly got up.. just at that moment, he found someone's hands helping him to sit up. The strong scent was enough to tell him who was there.

He slowly moved his hands to support himself and to sit properly on the bed. Sunghoon retreated his hands when sunoo was settled.

"Do you need something?" Sunghoon's voice was hoarse and that definitely caught Sunoo's attention but he just replied.

"Water." He heard the sound of a jug placed back on the nightstand.

"Here.." Sunghoon handed him the glass and he slowly gulped down the water to quench his thirst.

"J- Jungwon?" He croaked out to ask about his best friend and Sunghoon knew that coming.

"H-he is with Jay hyung probably." Sunoo nodded his head and was about to put
back the glass but Sunghoon was also leaning to take it and it turned out like a bump when Sunoo's hand slightly bumped Sunghoon's lips but he heard a low hiss because he had a split lip due to Jungwon's hard punch.

"I am sorry." Sunoo quickly apologized when Sunghoon finally took the glass and placed it on the nightstand.

"No problem, angel." He replied in a still hoarse voice and this time Sunoo couldn't shrug that off.

"Why you didn't sleep yet? And why your voice is so hoarse?" He softly asked and Sunghoon smiled on hearing those words. It was clear that he cared, slowly taking a seat on the bedside the older sighed.

"I can't sleep... I am scared, angel." Sunghoon replied while controlling his tears to fall again.

The things his eyes were doing for a whole long night... that's why his voice was hoarse.

Sunoo knew why other was saying so.
"Don't be." Fidgeting with his fingers, he replied.

"I can't stop this feeling angel. I know you want to g-o with Jungwon. I know you ha- hate me... but still I am sorry for acting like that earlier." His voice was broken as his heart. Sunoo was listening to his every word carefully... aware of the fact of how the other was feeling at the moment. Sunghoon inhaled sharply and started again.

"I want to hold you... to keep you with me for my whole life... to shower you with love and so much care. My heart is not allowing me to let you go.. but still-I can't hurt you anymore angel. I- if you want to go... I won't stop you.. y- you can go with Jungwon." Sunghoon said those words with great difficulty and closed his eyes to let his tears fall on his cheeks and bruised lips.

Sunoo snapped his head up at his words kind of surprised to hear those words. Half of his heart was happy to hear that but half of it was feeling betrayed.

"I just want to see y- you happy angel... just want to s- see you happy my l- love." Sunghoon whispered while hanging his head low...letting his tears fall continuously. He was feeling so much broken, even though Sunoo didn't say a word yet but his heart was hurting, and fearing to hear those words from Sunoo's lips.

Sunoo was still on his spot when he heard a muffled sob coming from the other's lips and shortly after he heard the door opening and closing sound, he let out a shaky breath that he was holding, How much he wanted to hold the older... how much he wanted to soothe him with Words... It was so heart-wrenching to hear those sobs.. so much hurting..

Sunghoon was leaning on Sunoo's door, crying silently not to let his cry disturb others' sleep. It 7 am in the morning and he couldn't blink for the whole night... in fear... in pain.

The morning was blooming when everyone gathered in the dining room for breakfast. Jay was silently sitting on a chair while Jungwon was standing, waiting for Sunoo.

Sunghoon also came from his room with eyes Swollen and big bags underneath. His condition was enough to hint at his last night. Soon after, sunoo was helped out by Ni-ki who took him to the dining room with great care.

Jungwon quickly ran to him and engulfed him in a warm embrace.

"You ok, Sun?" He mumbled and sunoo
nodded with a small smile.

"Let's have breakfast first." Jay tarted but Jungwon quickly shook his head.

"No thanks." He replied and turned back to his best friend... grabbing his hand gently.

"Sun... sweetie. What do you want to do now? You have no need to feel pressurized. feel free to choose whatever you want. I am with you. We can live together peacefully." Jungwon encouraged in soft tone to the other but everyone heard that clearly all while Sunghoon was just standing at a distance eyes desperately watching his love to say something.

"Jungwonie... I want to be with you." The brunet softly said and all the males quickly looked at Sunghoon who was shamelessly but silently crying upon hearing those words.

Everyone could see the pain in his eyes. The unbeatable Mafia boss once again cried for a boy, for his love. The moment he despises the most was there again, the moment to be weak for someone, the moment to feel helpless besides having everything.

But he felt like his heart bloomed again.. maybe he heard something over but no. It was him.. his angel who said that. He looked up to see the face to believe his ears and eyes and once he got enough proof he smiled through his tears. What he heard??? He heard Sunoo's voice saying that...

"But I can't leave him as well..I gave him a
chance... a chance to prove his love. I can't leave Sunghoon"
