Chapter 9

The sound of the birds chirping and the morning sun woke Sanzu up. He smiled when he felt that you are still in his arms, peacefully sleeping.

Sanzu caressed your face lovingly while smiling to himself.

"God, I fucking love you." He muttered, planting little kisses on your shoulders.

The morning breeze woke you up and as soon as your eyes fluttered open, you saw Sanzu staring at you. You blushed at the thought of him watching you sleep, feeling embarrassed on how you looked.

"Good morning, Y/N. Did you sleep well?" He greeted while softly smiling at you.

"Good morning, Haru. Yes, I slept well. How about you?"

"Yeah, can I sleep here more often?" Sanzu shamelessly asked while laying down once again and wrapping his arms around you.

"I-I guess so."

"Let's cuddle. You're so warm. I like it." You are now as red as a tomato at this point.

"I think I should wash my face first." You told him, about to get out of his embrace.

"No, stay." He said, tightening his embrace. "Let's cuddle for a few more minutes."

"Okay."

"Am I the first man to sleep with you?" He asked, curiosity is evident in his voice.

Your face flushed deep red with his question, luckily you're back is facing him while his chin is above your head.

"You're question sounds inappropriate!" You whined, "but yes, you are the first man who slept beside me."

Sanzu smiled, "Well, I am very lucky then."

You managed to escape Sanzu's embrace when someone called him and got out of the bed.

"Please calm down, Y/N. Calm your heart down." You spoke to yourself while staring at the mirror, arms placed in the bathroom sink.

You are currently having a small talk with yourself inside your bathroom. Apparently, having Sanzu around you makes your heart beat fast. What more can it do when he is beside you and cuddling you? Of course, your heart will go crazy.

After washing yourself, you decided to make some breakfast. You were both lucky as it is your work off today, although you originally planned to go somewhere else, maybe staying all day at home with Sanzu isn't bad, is it?

"What are you cooking?" The rose haired man asked as he hugged you from your back, placing his head on the crook of your neck.

"I'm making some french toast with bacon and eggs. Do you want something else?" You asked with your blush painted face. You have thought to yourself, why the heck is Haru being clingy?

"I'll eat whatever you're cooking." Sanzu said, gently kissing your nape. His action send shivers down your spine.

His sudden sweetness made you wonder, what really happened to him last night that made him drunk and beg you not to leave him. You want to ask him but you don't want to ruin the moment.

You were moving a lot in the kitchen and having Sanzu cling to you like a koala, is a tough job. You are careful not to burn his arms that are around you and you try it hard to focus on cooking when he kisses your nape all of a sudden.

You have arranged the table for the both of you.

You were both enjoying the food you made when you asked him.

"Haru, what happened last night?"

Sanzu stopped eating and stared at you. He doesn't want to talk about what happened, in fact, he is not yet ready to tell you that he is from Bonten, and he is not just any member of the group, he is the number two.

"Will you hate me if I say I am from a gang?" Sanzu asked, holding your hand gently. He sure do hope that your answer will be the one he wants to hear.

"So what if you are in a gang? I think you're a good person, well at least that is what I can see." You truthfully answered. Ever since you met him, he has never showed you any rudeness or any behavior that you disliked. In fact, he is really kind and considerate towards you.

"Well, I like you. And I treat those I like nicely."

"It is flattering to be liked by you, after all, I didn't thought that you would even talk to me." You shyly admitted. The first time you saw Sanzu at the cafe, you have thought to yourself what a fine man he is. Hell, you even had a crush on him and that is the reason why you would always initiate a small talk with him.

Sanzu nodded in agreement. "Do you want to know which gang I belong?"

"Will you tell me?"

"I am Bonten's number two."

You were shocked at his revelation, sure Bonten is well known and you also know that their gang is affiliated with drugs and killing. Sanzu being in a gang is fine, but him being in Bonten and not just a member but he's the number two, you just don't know how to process the information.

"Wow." Is all you could say. Sanzu is sitting quietly, observing your reaction.

"I really didn't see that coming. I mean, sure you drive the finest car but I just thought you are some rich ass guy from a wealthy family." You blurted out.

Sanzu chuckled at your confused expression. "You're not mad? You're not gonna shove me out of your door?", he asked.

"You're still Haru for me. You may be in a dangerous gang but your actions towards me speaks different. You are very gentle and delicate whenever I am with you and you always make sure that I am comfortable. So, no I am not mad and I will not kick you out." You smiled at him, after all, how could you hate the guy that you love?

Sanzu was relieved with your answer. He never thought, not even once, that he will be this anxious towards someone. 

"But still, you haven't told me what happened last night. Why were you drunk and crying?" You whined.

He just smiled at you, he purposely diverted the question by telling something about him. He is not yet ready to tell you that you are the reason, in fact he may not tell you, ever. If he can, he will keep it to himself. But he knows that eventually, you will know about it all. All he needs to do now is to ask you the question he is dreading to ask you ever since your date with him.

"Y/N, be my girl. Yeah?"
