Almost a month has passed since that incident, and the things between sunghoon and sunoo has returned to normal.

Sunghoon took sunoo out for a walk today, sunoo felt a little strange, because it had been a long time since he went outside, although sunoo felt a little anxious, but deep down he knew that he was glad about it, he just hoped that nothing would go wrong.

Sunoo met with one of his friends today, he was with his girlfriend, they chatted for a while, but then suddenly his friend asked him about sunoo's uncle, which sunoo did not liked very much, he looked hesitantly at sunghoon. "Um, I think it's getting late, it's time for us to leave." He hurriedly took sunghoon's hand and left without even saying goodbye properly to his friend.

Sunghoon was shocked by sunoo's current behavior, curiosity was growing in him, but on the other hand, curiosity kills the cat, and he looked at sunoo with a mischievous grin.

And then sunoo, who continuously staring at the cake shop like some needy puppy, he even pouted.

Sunghoon noticed the despair in sunoo's eyes, it amused him a little, he stopped and looked at sunoo.

"Sun, do you want that?" sunghoon pointed his finger at the cake shop.

Sunoo blinked in confusion when sunghoon suddenly stopped and pointed his finger at the cake shop, he was really shocked, as if his thoughts had been read, he hesitated a little and nodded silently.

Sunghoon raise an eyebrow, and he asked sunoo to wait for him, he went into the cake shop and bought a cake for sunoo.

BACK TO SUNGHOON HOUSE

Back at sunghoon's house, the two of them were sitting on a chair facing each other, the cake was placed on the table.

Sunghoon finally broke the silence by taking a knife in his hand. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Sunoo was fiddling with his fingers because he was feeling not so comfortable, so he just looked down, but quickly raised his gaze to sunghoon when he unexpectedly asked him such question. "Eh..? no, it's not like that.."

Sunghoon raised an eyebrow at sunoo's reply. "what did your friend say earlier? something about .. your uncle? you never told me about it, was it worth hiding?" his voice sounded as dry as a rock, he kept his excitement and curiosity inside, not wanting to spill them out.

Sunoo bit his lip, nervous, as if someone had asked him such a difficult question that he could not answer, he clutched at his clothes, maintaining his pitiful state and silence.

Sunghoon tilts his head slightly again and asks again. "Hmm? why don't you tell me while the cake thaws?" sunghoon lightly tasted the cream on his finger. "tell me, am listening?"

Sunoo lowered his eyes and started muttering something but loud enough to be heard. "Wh-what?. what you want to-

Before sunoo could finish his sentence, sunghoon interrupted him. "I want you to tell me why you're so embarrassed." This time, sunghoon's voice sounded more serious and determined.

Sunoo felt the pressure on him, and he finally broke the silence, for him to talk about it was like stepping out of his comfort zone, like pouring salt on an unhealed wound. "when I was young.. my uncle often punished me, I'm just afraid of him, because I still remember it, that's all," he replies very sharply, not letting the breeds from his past fall onto the floor.

At first glance, sunghoon did not react in any way, but then suddenly brought two fingers to his chin and stroked it with a grin. "Do I seem stupid to you?"
