Lovers from Hell

Fate

Jong Woo wakes up with a throbbing headache, feeling as if his brain is literally bruised. Once he finally manages to open his alluring eyes, he notices his surroundings; nothing in sight is familiar. He sits up, slowly coming to the realisation that he has no idea where he is. He starts to breathe rapidly, imagining all type of scenarios.

''Have I slept with someone? Did someone drug me? Did someone just lock me into a room?'' he questions himself.

''Babe, finally, you're awake.'' he hears from a familiar voice.

He lets out a sigh of relief, knowing he's in good hands.

''Moon Jo, what happened? Where are we?'' he asks, rubbing his eyes.

Moon Jo gives him a comforting smile, ''Don't worry. We're in one of my apartments. I have a few around Korea, so no matter where you are, I'll be close to you.'' he explains, staring at Jong Woo with his emotionless eyes.

Jong Woo gets goose bumps all along his soft skin, not knowing if he should feel flattered or petrified. 

''I'm so exhausted.. I shouldn't have liquored up so much yesterday.'' Jong Woo replies, yawning.

Suddenly, Moon Jo lays down next to Jong Woo in his soft, warm bed; Jong Woo's head resting on top of Moon Jo's toned arm, playing with his hair.

''Well, you fell asleep perfectly fine in this position yesterday, or would you like to change positions?'' Moon Jo asks teasingly, his face just centimetres away from Jong Woo's. Jong Woo blushes, shaking his head, even though he'd love to experiment all positions with him.

Jong Woo's heart pounds, as this is the closest his body has been to Moon Jo's. He could feel Moon Jo's heart beat normally against Jong Woo's chest, contrasting to Jong Woo's heart, which was racing like crazy. Jong Woo's eyes couldn't help but peek at Moon Jo's bigger frame, his muscled arms, and how arousing his body looks in a simple shirt and sweatpants. If only this was the sight he could wake up to everyday. Jong Woo tries to slowly crawl more and more into Moon Jo's chest, and covering his reaction with his hands.

Well, tried to cover it since Moon Jo suddenly grabbed his hand and held it until they fell asleep.

Once they've both fully rested, Jong Woo reads his phone messages.

Ji Eun

11:45: Hey Jong Woo, let's hang out

You, 11:50: No. I'm busy, don't text me.

Seen

''What?'' Jong Woo thinks to himself. He was sleeping all this time, he never even remembered texting Ji Eun. Is it possible that Moon Jo did this?

Jong Woo gathers up all the courage he has to ask Moon Jo about this.

''Yeah, I texted her.'' he responds casually.

Jong Woo's face drops, does he have no shame?

''Look, I'm trying to protect you. You don't want to be with a cheater, do you? You deserve much better, like I said yesterday when you cried into my arms.'' he responds.

Jong Woo's face goes bright red, ''Oh.. that was you?'' he asks, embarrassed.

Moon Jo laughs, only making Jong Woo more shy, ''Don't worry, you can tell me anything.'' he replies.

Jong Woo makes his way back to the residence, pondering about how he feels regarding this charming, new 'friendship'. Lately, Moon Jo has been making Jong Woo so lovesick, and he's only been here for a few days. Surely, he wouldn't feel this way if there was no chemistry, right?

Jong Woo walks in, seeing the bald headed freak again. He giggles, not allowing Jong Woo to continue walking inside of the building.

Jong Woo imagines all of the ways to hurt him, but holds all his anger and hatred in. 

''I swear to God, if you don't move out of my way right now.'' he threatens, clenching his fist.

''Oh? What will you do then, sir?'' he stutters, laughing.

Moon Jo suddenly appears, helping Jong Woo unclench his tense fist, ''Deuk Jong, get out of his way. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you, do you?''

Fear forms in Deuk Jong's eyes, and he starts to bow and walk out of the hallway, ''I'm sorry, room 303, I'm sorry.'' he repeats, hiding in the kitchen.

Jong Woo's gut is warning him again, and he feels uneasy. He doesn't know if it's Moon Jo or the other residents he should be scared of, but all he knew was that he should probably avoid drama with anyone for now.

''Thanks, Moon Jo. I thought you were still at the apartment though..?'' he says, looking at the floor.

Moon Jo lifts Jong Woo's chin so they could lock eyes, and he responds with a warm beam, softly tracing his fingers along his jawline.

''I felt like I had to come here. I guess it was just fate.'' he smirks.

Is it fate, or is it all a facade?
