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.
