Desire - Woosan

6

The morning after, Wooyoung woke up to a comfortable, naked torso. He smiled gently when he noticed that San was still there. The tattoos on his skin were almost begging to be kissed, and so he did. San felt the tickles on his skin and woke up. Unconsciously he moved around the bed, pulling Wooyoung closer to him.

- Good morning sleepyhead. - Wooyoung whispered in his ear. - As much as I want to stay, we have work. -

- Can't I just pay you for your day? I really don't want to get up. - San said with his face still hidden in the pillows.

- It doesn't work like that, San! - He laughed. - I have many appointments for today. I can't just disappear. -

- Fine, then I'll drive you. Let me just get showered. - San rose from the bed, walking towards the bathroom. Wooyoung just sat there enjoying the view of his naked body.

After they were both ready they left for their workplaces. San parked in front of Wooyoung's boutique to drop him off. Wooyoung pouted, he didn't want to say goodbye just yet.

- Do you really have to go? - Wooyoung laid his head on San's shoulder.

- I wish I didn't though. But I have some clients coming in today. If you want to, we can watch a movie tonight and if it's too late just stay over at my place. -

- Yes! Yes! I would love that. I'll close after I finish with my appointments. - Wooyoung felt happy, his heart even skipped a beat. He knew that it was too soon, but he felt comfortable around San. His last relationship was messy and traumatic. For the longest time he was scared to open his heart to anyone else, but then that night he met San at Mingi's club. He felt the connection almost immediately, even when his heart was warning him to be careful.

San gave him a sweet kiss before Wooyoung entered his store. On his way to the office San felt an emptiness in his stomach. Throughout the entire time he was with Wooyoung he didn't think about Mina for a second. Mina was still out of the country and they were still on bad terms. He wasn't sure if he missed her or how their relationship was before chaos set loose. Truth is, San missed feeling loved and cared for. His date with Wooyoung made him feel alive and revived things on his inside that he thought had vanished.

A sound inside of his car snapped San out of his thoughts, he was getting a call from Mingi.

- Good morning! - San answered cheerfully.

- You are in a good mood, that's odd. -

- I am, actually. -

- Aha? Are you going to spill it or not? - Mingi was desperate to know.

San had second thoughts about telling his best friend about the date, but he knew Mingi was anything but judgemental.

- I went on a date last night... - He stopped suddenly.

- Oh! I didn't know Mina was back already. -

- That's because she isn't. I was out with Wooyoung. -

After a silent pause, Mingi answered. - Well that's new. How was it? -

- It was perfect. His company was so comforting, we have a lot in common. I think I might see him again today. - The excitement in San's voice was pretty obvious.

- You know you're my brother and nothing makes me happier than seeing you happy as well. But... you know you have a girlfriend, San. It seems that you're getting a little carried away. - Mingi hated being that person, but he had to let him know.

San was afraid of what he was about to say. - I don't know Mingi, I think I might leave Mina. It's been many days since the last time we spoke and I honestly don't see things getting any better. -

- But what about your business? -

San stopped his car abruptly when he remembered that important detail. Mina's father was the biggest investor of the firm and he knew that money could stop coming in if they broke up. San had a stable clientele, therefore he knew he could keep up his firm on his own. But then there was Mina, he couldn't forgive himself if he broke her heart.

At 7:00pm San parked outside Jung Ateliere, where Wooyoung was waiting for him. They had decided on watching a horror movie that was showing at the movie theater. Once again, San felt loved and alive. Wooyoung was a soft person, which complemented his love language just right. Their date was very wholesome, even with all the jumpscares from the movies. When the movie ended it was 9:45pm.

- Should I take you home? - San asked, but he wanted to take Wooyoung to his house.

- I was thinking about staying with you tonight... But we don't have to though. - Wooyoung tried so hard to sound uninterested.

- You can come over. I can take you back tomorrow if you want. But it's a Saturday, we can stay in and order some food. -

- You're so corny. - Wooyoung laughed. As they walked to San's car they held hands.

- Nah, I prefer to call myself a hopeless romantic. - San answered with a cute tone. They got to the car and drove off to San's house.

That night San decided to merely enjoy Wooyoung's company. They ordered some food and took it to the porch. Wooyoung was focused on enjoying his dinner, but San lost his appetite for a moment. After his conversation with Mingi he decided it was time to tell Wooyoung about Mina.

- Woo, I need to tell you something. - San took a deep breath.

- Can we talk about it later? I'm kind of sleepy right now. - Wooyoung said as he finished his last bite of food.

- Yeah, of course. But promise me you wont run away after I tell you. - San was worried about how Wooyoung would take it.

- Are you about to tell me you are a serial killer or something? -
- I'm not, but I don't know if what I will say is worse. For now let's just go upstairs. We'll talk about it tomorrow over breakfast. - San took his hand and led him to his room.

Tomorrow was going to be a rough day for him, but he was sure about his decision. He had spent too much time trying to fix a relationship that simply was done for good. He loved Mina, but love wasn't enough. He would tell Wooyoung the truth and once they talked things through, he would leave Mina.
