Bodyguard | Heesun

Summer's coming to an end and with it, the unbearable heat is starting to fade to allow fall to arrive. The colors are starting to change as the trees get ready to rid themselves of their leaves, letting the old baggage die in order to renew themselves for another year.

The month of August has been a wild one. Sunoo released his summer single and, as the company expected, it did well on the charts: both domestically and internationally. Sunoo did not seem that pleased because every win the company gets, is a loss for him, in his books.

He did some promotions in music shows and won a few trophies, but none of that mattered to him because he was still in chains. Metaphorical, of course.

At least he got to come home to warm arms and soft kisses every night. That he was thankful to his company.

Heeseung had kept himself busy, following him around and making sure he was okay, pulling all-nighters with him when he had to record stages in the early hours of the day, driving him around and making out in the back of the car whenever that was the only time they had for one another. Heeseung also decided that he was going to apply to the photography course after all, which made Sunoo incredibly happy to hear. He knew how much that meant to Heeseung, and there was nothing else he'd want for him other than for him to be happy doing what he loves.

The first rays of sun peek through the window that they both forgot to close last night and wake Sunoo. He's not one to usually get awakened by such things, ever the heavy sleeper, but for some reason, he's wide awake.

Heeseung is still soundly asleep next to him, the light snores coming out of his parted lips make Sunoo smile, affection and endearment blooming in his chest. He has to physically stop himself from bending down and kissing his exposed back all the way down.

He's happy, he's in love and he is loved back. Not much else he could ask for.

Fluffy lays at the feet of the bed, still asleep as well, but the second Sunoo reaches to get his phone, the puppy stirs awake, but Sunoo shushes him, not wanting to wake Heeseung just yet. It's probably too early and it's not like they went to bed at a reasonable hour last night. Not that Sunoo is complaining.

However, maybe he should've stayed asleep, or maybe his subconscious was stirring him awake, knowing that something was wrong.

He's got too many messages to read. And that's never good.

Messages from people at the company.

What did you do?

You're gonna regret this.

After all we've done for you? That's low.

You're such an ungrateful brat.

What the fuck, Sunoo?

This won't end well for you

See you in court, get ready to wave your career goodbye.

Sunoo's heart sinks the more he reads.

What the fuck happened while they were asleep?

Some of them sent screenshots of news articles to explain what they meant and Sunoo's eyes open wide.

[ BREAKING NEWS ] Idol Kim Sunoo sues his company HYBE Entertainment for abuse and violation of his contract.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," Sunoo panics, turning to where Heeseung is still asleep, and shakes him a bit. "Hee, wake up," he hates to do this, but he needs him. Needs him to hold him. Needs him to tell him that it's gonna be okay.
