Jongwoo laid on Moonjo's bed, resting his eyes to think. He opened his eyes when he heard the door to the bathroom opened, revealing Moonjo in his usual black sweater. Moonjo looked at Jongwoo and smiled. Jongwoo's eyes stood firm at Moonjo, observing his every move.

Moonjo walked over to the bed and stood there. Jongwoo was confused to why Moonjo just stood there. "Do you want to sleep in my room?" Moonjo asked. "I mean if you want me to?" Jongwoo asked Moonjo back. Moonjo smiled at him, indicating that he could stay. Jongwoo scooted to the side to let Moonjo on.

Moonjo sat beside Jongwoo on the bed, his head and back resting against the headboard. Moonjo opened his arm, a welcoming sight for Jongwoo to crawl in and so he did, clinging onto Moonjo and holding him close.

"What are you doing, jagiya?" Moonjo asked jokingly as he brought a hand to caress Jongwoo's head which made Jongwoo leaned into his touch. "I don't know.. I jus felt like it" "the first time you came to my house—" "kidnapped me!" "Right—I kidnapped you and you hated me" Moonjo paused to looked at Jongwoo, suddenly a dark expression was shown on his face.

"You wanted to kill me too, didn't you?" Jongwoo expression changed to shocked then scared. Moonjo gazed soften as he continued on caressing and stroking Jongwoo's hair.

"But that's okay.. I understand where it came from. You don't want to do that anymore" Moonjo smiled at Jongwoo. Moonjo moved Jongwoo and placed him on his pillow and he got off the bed. "Where are you going?" Jongwoo asked Moonjo. "I have to find something" Moonjo said as he disappeared to where he kept his suitcase.

Jongwoo got up and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about what Moonjo said.

"But that's okay .. I understand where it came from. You don't want to do that anymore"

But does he not want to do it anymore? He was confused with himself. A part of him wants to kill him while the other one wants to stay with him for eternity. Suddenly, Moonjo came back, clutching something in his hand. He walked over to Jongwoo and smiled.

"What are you doing out of bed babe?" "I'm thinking about something" Jongwoo replied.

Moonjo knelt down so he could look at Jongwoo better, taking both of Jongwoo hands in his. He caressed Jongwoo's hands gently as he revealed the object that he was clutching in his other hand. It was a ring.

The ring was oddly familiar, based on what Jongwoo thought but then it suddenly hit him. It looked almost identical to the one Moonjo always has on.

Jongwoo was confused to why he has a ring similar to his in his hand. "Back when I was five, my mom gave me a pair of rings, it was a couple ring." Moonjo paused as he looked at the ring on his palm.

"She told me to give it to whoever girl I will be dating in the future and the rings symbolized my parents' approval.. however they didn't know it would be a boy" Moonjo chuckled.

Jongwoo was shocked. Is he saying that we're dating?! Jongwoo thought to himself. "Although we aren't dating, I want to give you the ring and I want to tell you that I really love you.. the moment I saw you again I swore to myself that I would never let you go."

He said as he looked up at Jongwoo and smiled at him. "Will you accept this ring?" Moonjo asked softly. Jongwoo's eyes started to get watery without him even realizing, Jongwoo never felt this special. Every single years he had spent with Ji-Eun, he was the one to cheer her up, make her happy, protect her, love her and she never tried to do any of that once.

Jongwoo sniffed and nodded as Moonjo took his hand and gently slid the ring down his finger. After putting the ring on, Moonjo brought Jongwoo's hand with the ring up to his mouth and kissed it.

"This ring will also symbolize a promise ring. I, Seo Moonjo promise you that I will protect you, love you, do anything to make you happy. I will cherish you and never once make you unhappy but if I do, may I die a painful death. I promise."

"I promise to listen when you speak to me, even if I've heard it before, disagree with what is being said, or find it hard to hear. You are the most precious gift life has ever given me, and I swear never to lose you."

Tears streamed down from Jongwoo's eyes, Moonjo noticed this so he got up and pulled Jongwoo in, securing his strong arm around Jongwoo firmly.

"Even if the whole world falls apart, I will be right by your side and it is a promise. I love you."

Moonjo said as he lovingly kissed the top of Jongwoo's head as Jongwoo cried harder, soaking Moonjo's sweater.
