The untold story : Mafia & Cop

21.

It's already 5 pm and the whole house is quiet. Well, that's the aftermath of sleeping after dawn and with exhausted body and mind, nobody even tried to wake up.

After some time, Jeonghan woke up and looked at his surroundings, he was not in his room, obviously, but being in the hazy state made it difficult to remember why he was there. When he stretched himself, all the memories from before came rushing in. He panicked and sat up at his place. His panic soared when he didn't find Coups beside him. He searched the room with his eyes, and no one was there, except for unconscious DK.

He gulped, "Was I dreaming?", then he looked at the other mattress, and confirmed, "No... it was real... then where did he go?"

He thought of looking at Coups' room as he hurriedly removed blankets from himself. He stopped when he heard the familiar voice calling him.

"Jeonghan-ah... Why are you looking so panicky?" Coups worriedly asked as he made his way inside the living room.

Jeonghan sighed in relief after seeing him, "Umm... I'm fine now."

Coups chuckled and sat beside him, "You really thought I disappeared?"

"No... I thought I was dreaming and you're still not here," Jeonghan defended.

"Same thing!... Well, I'm here and you're not dreaming," Coups replied.

"It's not the same, but whatever!" Jeonghan said and laid his head on Coups shoulder.

Coups smiled, "hmmm... by the way... 'Good Morning'"

Jeonghan removed his head at the speed of light and blinked profusely at Coups. It was the first shock of the evening.

"What?" Coups asked.

"I'm dreaming. There is no way you said Good morning." Jeonghan answered.

"Why? Can't I say that?" Coups asked nonchalantly

"Haha... You must be kidding. For the last two months, I've been here... all you did was nod at greetings. I remember when I first time talked to you, I pointed out that it was rude... you should greet back." Jeonghan retorted.

"People change," Coups replied.

"You're different. Stubborn. I don't expect you to change." Jeonghan said.

"But here we are... You're changing me. You have already made me softer and warmer. You reminded me of the person I once used to be." Coups softly said.

Jeonghan's heart raced at Coups' words, "Never in my life, I thought I would change 'The S.Coups' and make him softy."

Coups raised his brow, "S.Coups? How do you know it's S.Coups? No one in this house calls me by my full name as they find it inconvenient... that's why they call me Coups."

"fuck!" Jeonghan cursed inwardly.

Jeonghan awkwardly laughed, "Ummm... actually... I...", he fumbled, but quickly recovered, and lied, "O I vaguely remember, One day Dokyeom was angry at you for some reason and was calling you S.Coups..."

Coups stared at him for a moment and then smiled. Jeonghan was relieved to see him smile. For now, he is content that he handles it and only hopes that Coups does not ask DK about this.

"He must be too angry. He gets sulky easily." Coups muttered and Jeonghan hummed in response.

Jeonghan looked at the other side of the room, where DK was lying unconscious on the couch, and felt emotional, "He still hasn't awake. I hope he wakes up soon... I miss his loud voice and bright smile."
