Call Me Casper [JaeWin 🔞]

Chapter Eight

Winwin's phone beeped several times. He took a glance at the screen. A phone call came from an unknown number. He didn't want to answer at first, but after the fourth time, he knew it must be an important call, or it might be his manager calling from his new number.

"Hello?" someone from the other end said.

Winwin's breath went short as he realized how well he recognized this voice.

"Y-yeah?" Winwin responds jitterily.

The male chuckled, "It's hard to catch up with you directly like this. But I want to make it short, can we meet?"

"Where did you get my number?"

"That's none of your business."

"And, what do you want from me?"

"I'll meet you at Marmalade cafe after lunch tomorrow and tell you everything," he said before hanging up.

Winwin exhales shortly after the phone ends. He takes a short glance at Jaehyun, who seems to have noticed something went wrong.

"Are you okay?" "Who's calling you at this hour?" he asked.

"Work-related," Winwin replied as he stood and walked to the kitchen to get a cold beer. Jaehyun follows him.

"If that bothers you, dear, you could just stop," he continued.

"Are you aware that we are completely broke in this situation?"

The long silence filled the atmosphere. They sat side by side enjoying their cold beer.

"I'm sorry," Jaehyun said, "I'm just not getting used to this life."

"I understand. I was having trouble. I'm sorry as well." 

Jaehyun held him and brought him to his chest. Winwin rested his chin on Jaehyun's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"I - I think I knocked on the wrong door," said Yuta when he saw Winwin open the door for him.

"You're Yuta, right?" Yuta's eyes widened when Winwin responded. He could tell he was mouthing, "you're gorgeous," to him, which made him flush.

"Yes," Yuta said, his smile beaming. "So Jaehyun is here?" 

"I have to check on him. I'm afraid he's still sleeping. Come in. "

"That bastard still keeps that car, huh?" Yuta pointed to his BMW.

Winwin grinned, "I'm about to trade that car for some meth."

Yuta laughed at his joke.

Winwin led him to the kitchen, where he picked up two cold beer cans. He could feel his eyes trailing him.

"So, tell me, who are you? And how can you live with Jaehyun? " Yuta asked, as he winked at him.

"What a tease," Winwin murmured.

"He's my boyfriend," Jaehyun replied. He's fresh from the shower.

"How the fuck?" Yuta replied as Jaehyun patted him on the back.

"It will be a story for another time."

Winwin glanced at the clock; it was almost 10, and he got to work; he had an appointment after lunch. He's got to be hurried.

"Guys, I'm sorry I can't stay with you. I have to go, I hope you have a nice day, "Winwin said as he left the kitchen.

"Where are you going, babe?"

Babe? Winwin's brows taunted, Jaehyun never calls him babe. He knew he was just doing it to show off.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well today," Winwin explained.

"It's all right; you need to relax." For today, I'll take your place." "Just like you did to me before," Jungwoo answered, his voice as happy as a puppy's. 

 "Thanks," Winwin says as he hangs up the phone and throws it in the passenger seat as he exhales. He changed his mind. He didn't want to go to work, and he was in no mood to do so. So he traveled to a location he was familiar with.

He didn't knock when he came; instead, he sat on the terrace and gazed out at the lovely scenery.

"It's been a long time," Kun muttered, leaning against the door with his cup of coffee. He appears to be less formal than normal.

"What's got into your mind?" Winwin joked, "not a smuggler anymore?"

They were both laughing. Kun took a seat beside him and placed his coffee on the table. He continued, "You left, I left."

"What's the matter with you?" Kun asked. Winwin was a little paler than normal, and he appeared exhausted as if he hadn't had enough sleep.

"Nothing," Winwin says as he struggles to regain control of his breathing.

He lied. His thoughts are split between the appointment and Yuta. That guy is odd, yet he's also charming. To be honest, when he first saw him, he couldn't take his look away from him. He sighs and shakes his head. He's come to get his thoughts straight.

He mumbled, "What's wrong with me?"

"Hey, are you all right?" Kun asked once more.

"Do you mind if I take your kitchen knife?" Winwin was dubious of his decision as he chewed his lips.
