CHAPTER 13

"Am I in love with Mr. Park?" Sunoo was still in his own thoughts... his eyes
never leaving his hands, those soft and
gentle rubs that he was receiving from
no one else but his captor, his owner,
his boss... a mafia leader.

"Sun- Sunoo- SUNOO!"
Sunghoon snapped him out with a little
high tone, making the poor boy flinch
badly.

"Are you even listening to me?" The
older one frowned a little while
moving back towards his bed to end
the leftover juice in one go.

"Unh... Yeah. Sorry.. It's just. I think
I am sleepy." Sunoo managed to
answer, not daring to look into Than's
eyes. He was fighting with his thoughts
for now, too overwhelmed with the
situation his heart was in. He quietly
wanted to take his leave and wanted
to onen the door when he heard some shuffling sound.

"Did you have your dinner?" Sunghoon
was standing right behind him, his
tone wasn't much dark but not soft as
well. Sunoo thought words could
make anything bad for him so, he took
a while and finally shook his head
saying a silent "no" with hesitation.

"Don't you dare to skip your meals!
Take this and explore your new phone
till dinner is ready." Sunghoon handed
him the box again and this time Sunoo grabbed it Carefully.

"O- ok." He opened the door but shut
it back immediately, making sunghoon
confused about his action, The
Red-haired slowly turned back and
looked up at the Mafia boss. Sunghoon
didn't deny that he actually saw Sunoo's eyes filled with emotions, something he always wanted to ignore.

"Thanks, a lot Mr. Park. Again, I really
don't know how to be more worthy
of all of your favors. I will never step
back from any kind of work you want
from me. Ex- except for -" Sunoo was feeling hesitant to continue but luckily Sunghoon understood and quickly commented.

"It won't happen again. So just forget
it."

There was a little pause, silence so
deafening that Sunoo could hear
his own heartbeat as Sunghoon again
started moving closer to him.

"And if you really want to do something for me, then come with me."

Saying that Sunghoon grabbed his hand
and guided him to the door again.
Sunoo was not only confused but also afraid..a bit. not to blame shaken Soul.. he was still traumatized by the last incident. Fear started engulfing him when sunghoon was about to open the door... a flashback came into his mind.

"Wh- where?" Sunoo uttered
badly, fear was evident in his voice
and on his face. When Sunghoon
noticed that, he gave him his signature
smirk making the poor boy more
terrified.

"Already gave up? Where is your strong desire of doing any kind of work." Sunghoon said with damn sarcasm in his voice, keeping his smirk there to put pressure on the words. Sunoo was baffled for a second but tried to be strong. He took a deep breath before speaking.

"I its-" Sunoo couldn't continue as
the door opened with a forceful hand,
hitting his back as he was closest to the
door from inside making him stumble
back on Sunghoon who was facing him.

Sunghoon quickly grabbed him by his
waist causing his head slightly hit the
broad chest of the Mafia boss... making
his heart go wild but on hearing the
voice both of them quickly backed
away from each other.

"THAN! We found the one who was betraying- oh Sunoo???" Heeseung said in a very stern tone but his tone softened when he saw Sunoo, a little confused about the awkwardness between the two.

"You go now. Remember what I said
before and about the last thing,"

Sunghoon nodded, and before leaving,
he looked back at Sunoo and said
to him... pausing for a bit and then
continued.
