24. Shattered Hope..!

Jin dropped the used tissue on his empty plate after wiping off his lips. He smiled in satisfaction and leaned against the back rest of his chair.

"Are you full already, sweetheart? We still have the desserts to finish", Junghoon said, watching Jin rub his stomach with his palms.

Jin shook his head fast and waved his hands in front of his face in alarm.

"No way, hyung. I am full and I seriously doubt if I can move an inch from here", Jin groaned.

Junghoon chuckled, "I will carry you if I have to, but you need to finish this cake at least"

"You are spoiling me too much, hyung", Jin blushed, while he heard Taehyung scoffing through his earpiece.

"My pleasure, sweetheart. You have no idea how happy I feel when I get to pamper you", Junghoon spoke, placing his hand on Jin's right knee.

Jin bit his lower lip and squirmed in his seat. He was having dinner with Junghoon in a private room at one of Junghoon's restaurants and the entire time Junghoon had been touching and caressing him way too much. Jin felt like throwing up every time Junghoon tried to touch him, but he controlled his temper and gave his best to win over Junghoon.

All his targets were always well behaved when they had to meet Jin in a public place. But once alone, they would be all over Jin and every time, Jin would suppress the strong urge to punch them on their face whenever they went overboard with their touches. However, those instances were very rare, as Jin always made sure to draw a line between himself and his targets. Most of the time, playing innocent and being patient helped, and the other times, a light warning always put them in their place because Jin knew how weak and desperate his targets were for him. And once he got the upper hand, Jin looted every single penny from them without any remorse.

Jin smirked internally and faced Junghoon, batting his eyelids with a soft sniffle.

"Hyung, I am so happy today", Jin said, placing his hand on top of Junghoon's hand and stopping him from drawing patterns on his knee, "I have never been to such places. I even feel underdressed here but hyung took care of me so well. I don't even have enough words to express my gratitude. I don't know what I could give you in return for the love and affection you show me", Jin said emotionally.

Junghoon leaned towards Jin and held him close by his shoulder. He squeezed Jin's upper arm, while his other hand began moving up from Jin's knee.

"If I say that you have something that can make hyung happy, will you give that to me?", Junghoon asked in a husky tone.

"Of course, hyung... Anything that will make you happy", Jin replied without hesitation, sporting the most innocent puppy eyes.

Junghoon smirked and moved his fingers from Jin's shoulder to his nape. Jin felt a sudden rise of bile in his stomach as soon as Junghoon's fingers came in contact with his bare skin just above his collarbones. He could see the hunger in Junghoon's eyes, and by the way he was held possessively, Jin could tell that in just a matter of few days Junghoon would take him to his most personal space, from where he could try to get something solid against Junghoon.
