Jeongwoo exhaustedly closed the door and placed the boxes of chicken in between him and Haruto.

"Dig in" he softly said before he leaned on the car seat and trying to rest after the long line inside the chicken restaurant.

Meanwhile Haruto looked worried when he stared on the personal assistant.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just go eat and I'll drive you back on the photoshoot site"

The young actor was unsatisfied of the korean's answer that all he had to do is to stare on him.

Jeongwoo opened his eyes and almost got startled upon seeing the japanese's eyes are all on him.

"What? I said you can eat" he complained.

"You look tired" the japanese noticed.

"I said eat, Haruto. Stop being a nuisance" he said with a hint of annoyance on his voice.

The japanese finally got scared of the korean's voice and finally opened the boxes of chicken he bought for him.

"Should I tell Junkyu that you feel not okay?" Haruto offered as he took a bite on his precious chicken.

"No. I'm fine" Jeongwoo replied while his eyes were both closed.

Haruto smiled on him and took the chicken directly on Jeongwoo's lips. The korean was clearly surprised from what the japanese did.

He was ready to fight for his life when he saw the actor laughed. At some point, Jeongwoo didn't know what got into him when his anger suddenly faded away and focused on the older's face while he was laughing.

No wonder everyone loved him.

After a few seconds, he found himself cringing of what he just thinking and avoided his gaze from the actor.

"Idiot" he whispered to himself and took a bite of the chicken.

A few minutes of peace, the actor decided to break the deafening silence by asking the younger.

"How's your brother?" He asked referring to his brother, Yoshi.

"He's doing fine. Ask him directly instead of me if you're interested to him"

"Then how about you?"

"What?"

"How about you, how are you?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because I'm interested in you" the young actor replied without any hesitations

"Go to hell"

"What? You told me to ask directly if I'm interested"

"I am referring to Yoshi hyung idiot" Jeongwoo annoyingly answered and rolled his eyes.

"I am not interested in him"

Jeongwoo almost wanted to bump his head on the steering wheel. He was really cringing real hard because of the japanese.

"Are you done eating? I'll bring you back"

"Sure, bring me back but can I ask you a favor?"

Jeongwoo closed his eyes in frustration and containing himself from getting all mad.

"What is it this time?"

"Please bring me back to your home instead" Haruto playfully said and winked his eyes on Jeongwoo.

"How about you go to hell instead? Fuck off" Jeongwoo harshly said and turned on the engine of his car.

"Are you usually this hot-headed? I mean you're hot but you should calm down sometimes"

"I really can't believe you, Watanabe. You're really annoying!"

Haruto smirked and took a bite again of his food. Let's say that he's considering this moment of ways of getting close to Jeongwoo.

"Bet your parents can't handle your anger issues" Haruto joked and laughed.

The young actor felt the awkwardness when he realized that he's the only one who's laughing at this moment.

"I don't have any parents" Jeongwoo answered straightforwardly.

"O-oh, I—I'm sorry. I didn't m-mean.."

"If you're really apologetic, then kindly just don't talk if you don't have something good to say" Jeongwoo answered.

Haruto turned to the window and closed his eyes in frustration. He just messed up with the wrong side of Jeongwoo.

He was hesitant if he should open this up but I guess if it'll lessen the tension between the two of them, then okay.

"My dad left us when I was 6 years old" he started off his own story.

"He was working on another country back then but we don't know why he didn't came back"

Jeongwoo on the other hand was still focused on the road while Haruto was telling him his story.

"My mom worked hard to provide living for me and my sister"

"It's a little bit hard to accept what happened, I still even know if mom already accepted everything but all I can do is to be strong for my mom, for my family"

That somehow touches Jeongwoo's heart. Despite of being a flirt and playful on national tv, who would've thought thay he had something to hide on his heart.

"Until now, we still don't know where my dad is. It has been almost a decade and I guess he had another family at this point. I hoped that he's happy"

A normal son would grieve and get all mad at his dad for leaving them behind but this guy is different. He even wished his dad happiness.

He knows how much it was hard for them, but how in the world could he say that?

"How about you?"

"I'm adopted" Haruto finally looked on the korean driving beside him.

"Yoshi hyung's mother decided to adopt me since I was 7 because she told me that she had the connection when she saw me at the orphanage"

"Up until now, I am thankful of her because she took care of us and gave all her time and effort to help us grow with love and affection"

There was a lot of good things towards Jeongwoo that had been running through Haruto's mind. It increased his reasons why he wanted to be close with him.

Like Yoshi's mother, he can suddenly felt connected with Jeongwoo.

I would do anything just to be close to you, Park Jeongwoo.

Anything..
