THIRD PERSON POV

Sunghoon was beyond angry with the
words of Yong. How dare he threaten him with someone like Sunoo??

"Are you threatening me? Do you have
any idea what are the consequences of threatening me?" Sunghoon said in a very low but stern tone.. still in his chair.

"I am not wrong though, feeling so good to know that. Now when you already know it, how about the deal?" Yong said while patting Sunghoon's shoulder which the younger find very disturbing. Sunghoon looked up at him with a death glare.

"Handover me the weapons and I won't let my dogs hunt for that innocent boy." Yong snickered but soon his smirk vanished when Sunghoon Smirked.

"You know what Mr. Yong? Do whatever you want.... no one is so much daring to me to interrupt in my business." Sunghoon put extra focus on the word my, getting up and dusting his suit casually.

"And yeah... from now on.. We are not
going to make any, any kind of deal,"
Sunghoon announced and left the office
of Yong not forgetting to give him a smirk before exiting.

"You will see Than. I know that boy is someone close to you now... you will regret it." Yong half yelled at no one after Sunghoon left, feeling humiliated.

Sunghoon was in his car after a short flight from Yeongdeungpo-gu in his private jet. It was 9:30 PM and they were almost close to the mansion.

"What if he actually gets the chance to hurt Sunoo?" Heeseung asked with concern when Sunghoon told him everything that happened in Yong's office.

"It won't happen," Sunghoon stated in a calm tone while leaning on his seat, and closing his eyes

"But-"

"I won't repeat it." Sunghoon retorted
with a frown and Heeseung quickly
shut his mouth.

"Jay? Why you didn't visit him?" Heeseung asked after a while, confused
as to why he didn't get to see the only
person he likes in this city.

"He went on a business trip with one of his assistants," Sunghoon shortly answered and Heeseung nodded in
understanding.

...

"Ri-ki I am sorry. See Mr. Park is not home yet and no one will tell him besides you, so please don't be angry.. please~" Sunoo was trailing behind
Ni-ki who was successfully ignoring
his words. Why? Because he came back to the mansion at about 8 pm.

"Hyung, sorry I swear I wanted to Come on time but I mnet someone and then couldn't keep the track of time. Sorry.... sowwyyy." Sunoo started his last weapon of cuteness, showing his puppy eyes and cute pout. He make the other halt in his way as he stopped in front of him, holding the blond's hand while showing his charms.

"Argh! Hyung, stop it. You are making me
weak with this face." Ni-ki scolded him although he is younger than him but he had to because of Sunghoon but no use... in turn Sunoo increases the level.

"Ri-ki... please... I won't do it anymore ~ please. sorry~"

"Ok ok fine. Now let me make dinner,
THAN will be on his way." Ni-ki finally
let him go and patted his head with a chuckle. No doubt his charms are
unavoidable.

"Let me help you Ri-ki-ah.I will cut those vegetables while you do other work." Sunoo volunteered while rolling up his sweater sleeves.

"Woah... unroll it now, you are going
to cut vegetables not someone's heart with that smooth skin of yours." Ni-ki didn't let the chance slip away as he teased him and the elder blushed at his words and quickly unroll his sleeves.

They both continued their talk and cooked dinner. It was 9:45 pm when Sunghoon finally entered the mansion
with the others. The first thing he heard was a loud voice of laughter and giggles from the kitchen.

The voice was quite distinguishable among thousands of people, those deep
and sweet giggles were one of the best
music in the world to him, and won't
deny it.

Heeseung went to his room and so Kang-min while Sunghoon slowly made
his way to the kitchen to see the beautiful view.

Sunoo was trying to sing while Ni-ki was creating music with different kitchen utensils. Whenever Sunoo made a mistake, they both broke into a fit of laughter, filling the area with the warmth that was lost years ago.

"Ri-ki hahaha.. oh my God my stomach hurts," Sunoo said in between his laughter while holding his stomach.

"Hyung I think you should have your dinner now, it's getting late and you have to wake up early for college to just have it and rest," Ni-ki suggested to him while placing the utensils back in the proper place, feeling the same about his stomach.

"Nope, I am not going to have dinner
without others." Sunoo denied the offer and sat on the counter, playing with the apron he was wearing.

"Hyung, come on.. they would be late and
I know you will fall asleep and won't eat, so just have your dinner." This time Ni-ki used a little bit stern tone and Sunoo sighed.

"I am all good don't worry, please. I already skipped my breakfast with all now I don't want to skip dinner as well." Sunoo mumbled with sadness in his voice as he remembered his little rude behavior in the morning, Sunghoon was watching all and somehow he felt happy after hearing those words from the younger. A small curve was visible on his lips since he saw him, but no one witnessed that.

"Nishimura, we are here. Serve dinner."
Sunghoon finally ordered, hiding his
smile and avoiding the red-haired who was looking at him with a smile, a very welcoming and warm one.

"Ok THAN.." Ni-ki replied with a smile
and Sunghoon left, feeling all of his
tiredness almost gone by the small
interaction.

Sunoo quickly jumped from the counter and started setting the table in excitement after removing his apron.

He was humming continuously with a
cute smile on his face. Ni-ki noticed that and also smiled but didn't say anything.

"How are you feeling, lightheaded boy?" Kang-min asked mischievously and Sunoo pouted at the name.

"Excuse me? I have a heavy skull. ok?" Sunoo stated with so much pride and nodded after that everyone burst into laughter.

"Ouf... Sunoo you are so funny, man." Heeseung was laughing while shaking his head.

"Well seriously. How are you feeling
now?" Heeseung asked with a soft voice
after controlling his laughter.

"I am fine.. and. sorry for the morning.
I wasn't feeling well at that time, I am really sorry for my behavior." Sunoo apologized politely and Heeseung quickly side-hugged him.

"Hey don't be sorry ok.. we know that."
Heeseung patted his head with so much
care and Sunoo felt like he is really very lucky to have so many people who actually care for him now. He hugged back him with a smile.

Sunghoon came after a quick shower and as usual, he was in black sweats. When he entered the dining, he saw Heeseung and Sunoo hugging each other and something hit his heart.. it wasn't a good view for him. He frowned and don't know why he just wanted to separate them quickly.

Taking big steps to the table, he cleared his throat loudly and both males quickly pulled back, one flustered and the other a little afraid with the angry expression that Sunghoon was showing.

"Come here.. we were waiting for you."
Kang-min quickly stated after seeing
the angry expressions of Sunghoon, of
course not a good thing to deal with at
that hour especially.

"Yeah, I can see that," Sunghoon said in
a sarcastic tone and everyone gulped.

Sunoo quickly made his way to the chair as he already settled the table completely. But he was feeling nervous
due to all the previous incidents and
especially due to the intense gaze that
he was receiving from Sunghoon.

In his flustered phase, he wanted to sit
on the chair but instead, he landed on
the floor with a loud thud.

"Ouch!" Sunoo yelped after landing on the floor, his poor butt hit really hard.

"Oh, Sunoo? Are you alright?" Heeseung and Ni-ki wanted to get up and help Sunoo but Sunghoon acted more quickly and helped Sunoo by offering his hand to the boy on the floor.

Sunoo took his hand with red cheeks and a low head. He felt a spark in his body when he touched Sunghoon's hand.

About Sunghoon? He also felt something, it was the first time he felt something while touching Sunoo

His soft hand in his rough one was giving him a warmth...a warmth that he didn't felt for a long time, looking like a perfect puzzle fitted together. Jerking the things away from his mind, he helped him, and finally, Sunoo got up. They were standing close and Sunghoon was looking at Sunoo while the latter was still focused on the floor, their hands still in each other's hold. While others were just looking at each other with the same.

Sunoo's hand started shaking due to the intense feeling in his body and when Sunghoon felt it, he quickly let go of his hand and went to his chair in awkwardness.

Sunoo also sat on his seat and the rest of the dinner was in awkward silence as no one dared to say a single word.

After dinner, Sunghoon quickly left with the others while Sunoo helped At night, Sunoo was laying on his bed while replying to the scene from dining, A smile was adoring his face. He touched his hand with the other, caressing the spot where Sunghoon touched him while holding. Again his heartbeat quickened and he held his hand close to his chest.

"With every passing day, my feelings
are increasing. What Should I do?" Sunoo mumbled but he shrugged it off with a positive thought.

"I hope for the best." With that, he closed his eyes and welcomed his dreamland.

Sunghoon was sitting on his chair near
the bed. He was also recalling the scene from dining.

"What was that feeling? Why did I feel
jealous when he hugged Heeseung?What's with that odd feeling when I
touched him before?" He questioned
himself but got no answer or... he just didn't want to accept the answer yet.

"No... I can't fall for him.. it will cause him just trouble and I don't want him to get hurt." He concluded while staring at his laptop to see a peacefully sleeping beauty.

"I can't..."

__________________________

The next day passed quickly for all as they were busy with their daily business. Sunoo was busy at his college that he even didn't meet with Seojun but only got a message from him that he finalized the trip on Wednesday.

Sunoo was a little tensed about the permission. well more after that night. He didn't talk with Sunghoon after that due to nervousness. Even when Sunghoon didn't mention it again, he was feeling ashamed of his own words and actions.

But he had to ask today. At night, after dinner, he went to Sunghoon's room. He was sweating badly, why?? Because he was going to lie... the same lie that Seojun told him.

He thought a lot about that and finaly
decided to use those words as it was his chance to fulfill his desire. He really loves nature and he might not get the chance again in his life.

Sunoo came while rubbing his hands to reduce the nervousness that was piling up in his body.

"Mr. Park? I - oh.. you- you are busy. I will come later." He quickly turned back after watching Sunghoon busy with papers.

"It's ok. You want something?" Sunghoon asked, now looking up and giving his full attention to Sunoo who slowly turned back to see him but he quickly averted his gaze to the wall, finding the gaze intense again.

Sunghoon noticed the tension on the other's face and tried to look less scary
by removing the frown.

"Do you need money?" Sunghoon asked
with a soft tone.

"No no no." Sunoo quickly shook his head in a no and thought why does "I-I need your... permission," Sunoo mumbled in a low voice and Sunghoon frowned again at his words.

He shut the file, he was reading and gave his proper attention to the petite boy who was still rubbing his sweaty hands.

"Go ahead."

"Actually. I need your permission for a study- study tour... we.. we are going to the forest for sketching... this Wednesday ... if you.. I mean."Sunoo stopped midway when he felt Sunghoon get up from his seat and started moving closer to him. He thought that Sunghoon might snap at him.

"It's ok... I w- won't go. i-"

"Wear warm clothes on tour and make
sure to take care," Sunghoon casually
said while leaning on the table in front
of Sunoo.

"It's ok.. it's not compuls- wait WHAT?"
Sunoo looked up in surprise and found a smiling Sunghoon.

Sunoo didn't blink, he actually forgot to, why? Because that smile was so beautiful and unique, those bambi eyes turned into half moons and his jawline was more prominent, those soft crinkles around his eyes, it all looked mesmerizing, and Sunoo Was mesmerized.

Sunghoon noticed the gaze but not a lie, he was also enjoying the view, big doe eyes and lips forming an "o" in surprise was so cute. Sunoo averted his eyes from that intense gaze of the other.

Finally, Sunghoon turned back and sat back on his seat after clearing his throat lightly. He softly rubbed his temples to soothe the pain in his head due to the overwork that he was facing.

"Thanks.. thanks a lot, Mr. Park. I will take care... thank you so much. I will
try to draw some beautiful sketches for you too. Yes!" Sunoo happily beamed and when he looked up at Sunghoon his smile faltered. He saw Sunghoon in pain with a scrunched-up nose.

"Your head is hurting, right? Can I do
something?" Sunoo asked with a soft tone but his frown was still there. Sunghoon gave him a questioning look.

"You can make coffee as you said before." Sunghoon started and Sunoo quickly nodded.

"Can you make one for me right now?"
He asked in so soft tone that Sunoo
quickly nodded his head in excitement
and left the room to make it as sOon as
possible.

He was feeling so much happy that Sunghoon asked for something from him instead of ordering and that felt So good, indeed the raven-haired was sO nice. He skipped to the kitchen and Reched for the required things.

"Ops I forgot to ask what type of coffee
he likes." He slapped his forehead with
his hand and was about to go back but
thank Ni-ki who told him about then coffee that Sunghoon likes. Sunoo quickly made it for him with a smile.

"You will definitely love it, Mr. Park,"
Sunoo mumbled before entering
Sunghoon's room. He quietly placed
the coffee cup on the table as the older
one was still busy with the papers.
Sunghoon muttered a soft "thank you"
to him which caused him to smile widely.

He was still standing there, fumbling with his own shirt and after a minute or two, Sunghoon noticed that and looked up at him with a raised brow.

Sunoo become a little panicky about his own action and quickly turned back to leave but he said something before sprinting out of the room that made Sunghoon surprised a little.? No, he was beyond surprised.

"Hope you love the coffee and the person who made it," Sunoo shrieked and quickly left the room like the panicked little kid he was.
Sunghoon was again awestruck by his
words but soon his smile spread on his
face and he finally picked up the cup
to taste the coffee.

No doubt it was a really tasty one, just like the one he wanted to drink. sunghoon smiled on and muttered something unexpected to himself as well, the words slipped past his lips on their own.

"I love this coffee and I think"

I also like the person who made it..."
