The two decided to stay on Jeongwoo's apartment and spend their time together.

Another day passed and the two was peacefully cuddling on the korean's bed, feeling each other's warmth.

Jeongwoo who was awake approximately a couple of minutes ago started to stroke his lover's hair who was sleeping soundly beside him.

He was staring contently at the actor but having these urges within him and so he followed them instead.

Jeongwoo leaned closer to the actor and planted small kisses on his forehead.

That made the actor woke up and immediately smiled as soon as he saw the korean kissing his forehead.

“Did I wake you up?” he asked the actor with his hoarse morning voice.

“You look so hot right now” the actor complimented.

Jeongwoo immediately flicked his forehead gently.

“It's still early in the morning, Watanabe”

“What? I just complimented you, is it bad to give my freedom of speech now?” he innocently blurted.

“Are you hungry?”

“Yeah..” the actor said while pouting.

“Is there anything you wanted to eat in particular?”

The actor switched his positions on the bed, staring at his lover.

“Yo—” before the actor could finish his sentence, the former personal assistant immediately flicked his forehead for the second time.

“Hey, let me finish my sentence first! What I meant was Yogart”

“Gosh, I thought you would say something else”

“Well, if you insist to, I can eat you—”

“Yeah, no.” Jeongwoo was chuckling as he immediately got up from the bed to look for something to eat on the kitchen.

Haruto left laughing on Woo's bed before he decided to open the television to watch some cartoons while he was waiting for Jeongwoo to finish cooking their breakfast.

Just as he opened the news, he saw something that made his eyes wide open.

Haruto was panicking and so he immediately ran towards his lover who was holding his phone and having a stern look on his face.

“Baby, I don't know how they got the picture” he immediately sense the worry on Woo's face and so he spoke.

“I'm sorry, Ruto” he apologized in the midst of looking seriously on his phone.

Haruto's shoulders dropped, he felt so guilty the moment he heard his lover's tone.

For the context, they found their photos together flashing on the news. It was from their date yesterday. He genuinely doesn't know that there was someone there aside from them.

The younger immediately wrapped his arms around the younger korean's waist, kissing his cheeks.

“Why are you apologizing, my love?” he asked with his soft mellow deep voice that never failed to soothe Jeongwoo's system.

“I... I would surely break your career. I will cause pain and suffering to you” Jeongwoo couldn't help but to burst in tears.

This is why he was afraid to admit all the feelings he had been hiding all the past few months.

The japanese actor worked his ass off for almost half of his life to lift up his career and just in a blink of an eye, he would go and crash it all down. He feels terrible of himself.

“You worked so hard to live a life you lived right now. I am sorry to cause you a lot of trouble”

“If you need to leave me right now, please do so. Don't think of me anymore” Jeongwoo impulsively sput out.

That made the young actor smile as he cupped Woo's face and tucked his hair as he kissed his cheeks.

“Baby, listen to me”

The young actor held the latter's head, connecting his gaze to his, seeing those tears falling from his eyes just break the actor's heart right now. 

Just as the actor will come and speak up about it, his phone was already ringing.

“Let me pick this up real quick”

Haruto went on a distance to answer the phone.

It was Jihoon, his manager.

“Hello hyung”

“Ruto, you need to go to the company right now. The CEO wanted to talk to you” Haruto just let out a sigh before he replied.

“Okay, I will go there. Give me a minute”

“I'll pick you up, I will wait outside Jeongwoo's apartment”

“Thank you hyung” Jihoon immediately hang up the phone as Haruto came to face the crying guy.

The young actor couldn't handle seeing his love crying so he immediately came to hug him, tight and warm.

“Let's talk later okay, don't think of anything else right now. I will never ever break up with you. I didn't wait all this time to let go of you” he said softly while he gently caressing the korean's delicate cheeks.

“Trust me with this one okay? I will fix everything, just don't do anything for the meantime. Let me handle all of this”

“B-but..” before the latter could even debate with it, the japanese smiled as he pulled him for a hug.

“Don't ever think it's your fault. It's me who fell in love with you first. I will take responsibility of it. Just please, trust me”

“Will I ever get to see you again?” he worriedly asked the actor.

“Of course, baby. I will be back”

“Take care of yourself” the korean reminded as he also caressed his cheeks.

“I love you, Park Jeongwoo. And I would do anything just to be with you. I can give up everything I have to have you”

“I love you, my star” the actor almost wanted to cry, hearing those words from the former personal assistant just feels surreal.

He just can't believe he's finally having the courage to say it to the actor without the hesitation.

“I will be back as soon as possible”

And with that, Jeongwoo saw the actor walked out of his apartment. He was having a lot of uncertainties and worry but nonetheless he trusted the actor, he trusted his words.

But the question is, for how long?
