Sunghoonʼs POV
This was the first quiet night Heeseung and I have had since he lived with me. No gunshots, no screams, nothing to disturb or threaten us. It was just us on our night full of love.
I had just woke up, but Heeseung was still asleep. So I tried not to make any noise and stayed there admiring him, caressing his beautiful face with extreme delicacy. Looking back, it's really weird the way I hated him at first. But then that spark allowed me to change my vision of things, and so I found myself unable to imagine living without him.
I lowered my head a little to give him a slight kiss on the forehead and I lay down again in front of him. Our noses were almost touching and Heeseung began to open his eyes slowly, and they met mine immediately.
«Good morning Heeseungie»
«Good morning to you Sunghoon. What day is it?»
«Sunday»
He smiled happily and stretched, then put his arms under his head and closed his eyes.
«How do you feel? Did it hurt?»
«Not at all, I feel wonderfully, and I also slept a lot»
«Me too. And, if you noticed, nothing bad happened tonight»
«You're right. Are you saying that, perhaps, the killer has finished his game?»
«Even though he didn't make any moves tonight, I don't think he's finished. He may have been preparing something worse»
«Oh fuck, if it goes on like this we'll never get out of this maze»
«I know, it's very unpredictable»
He sighed, and then we remained silent for a couple of minutes.
«What do we do? Do you wanna get up?»
«Come on, I think we've had enough rest. Let's see what time it is»
«Fuck it's already 11 am»
«I'm gonna take a shower now, or you wanna do it first?»
«No Heeseung. But...what if we do it together?»
Probably the fact that we'd have used my personal bathroom was more convincing, also because we were almost always in my room. He thought about it for a moment and then nodded.
At first Heeseung was slightly embarrassed, but I immediately reassured him with a hug. Nothing of what you would have thought happened. No, I did that stuff when I was still with Jake. Mostly, this was a time to relax. We washed each other's hair pretending to be hairdressers and it was the most fun thing.
After that we got dressed, we made the bed, and for lunch we ordered Japanese food.
«Sunghoon, what do you want to do this afternoon?»
«I don't know. Maybe we could go to the mall»
«And would you trust to go out with that situation outside?»
He was right. I was afraid too, but then again, we never went anywhere, we were always inside our house.
«I think we need to spend at least a couple of hours out, Heeseungie»
«All right. Oh, lunch must have arrived»
We heard the bell ring, and I walked to the front door while Heeseung was waiting for me in the kitchen. As soon as I opened it I found the boy with the food we had ordered, I took it and paid for it. Only then I looked up and met his eyes. He was dressed entirely in black with the hood on and a black mask. The look he gave me, however, betrayed his cover, cuz that was precisely what allowed me to recognize him.
