No time to waste (on another pretty face) | SUNSUN 𐙚

𓍯𓂃𓏧!!!!

"Woof! Woof, woof, woof!"

Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Sunoo's eyes widened and he nearly fell over at the (unfortunately) familiar sound of Jake barking.

No! No, no, no! Why was Sunghoon back so soon?

Sunoo tried to make himself as tiny as possible in the corner, frantically praying that Sunghoon wouldn't come in.

"...dude can I help you?"

Even though Sunoo was literally holding himself hostage in Sunghoon's closet, the sound of the alpha's voice had his heart fluttering. Or, that could have been palpitations from fear. Since, Sunoo was about to piss himself.

Sunghoon's words of concern were followed by the familiar sound of Jake trying to bullshit his way out of a situation.

"Oh, hey! What's up?"

A pause, and then Sunghoon replied with;

"Were you barking?"

Jake chuckled nervously.

"Oh you know...dog in my throat."

"...don't you mean frog?"

"No, that's just how we say it in Australia!"

Sunoo resisted the urge to suffocate himself with the string of Sunghoon's hoodie, craving the sweet release of death.

"That's cool." Sunghoon said. "Hey, I know you! You're that alpha who had sex in the pool and is on all those wanted posters!"

"...no. That...was my twin brother Joke..."

"Sure...hey, can you move so I can get into my room?"

"Sorry..." Jake was speaking slowly and loudly, so obviously bullshitting for time that it made Sunoo scream silently. "But...you...can't...because...I'm...here...keeping...watch...because..."

By the second 'because' Sunoo was ready to jump out the nearest window himself.

"Because my colleague is in there spraying for bed bugs!" Jake blurted out.

"Bed bugs?" Sunghoon didn't sound convinced.

"Yeah!" Jake said. "He's gonna be in there for a while so you should come back!"

"No one told me I had bedbugs..."

"They probably didn't want to hurt your feelings."

"...I guess that makes sense? Um, I just need to grab something really quickly- ."

"You're going inside?" Jake shouted, as if needing to make sure Sunoo could hear him. "Right now?"

"Yeah- dude, why are you screaming in my face?"

The two of them lapsed into a long awkward silence. Sunoo was practically gnawing on his own arm to keep his frustration at bay.

"I'm having hearing problems!" Jake said loudly.

"Oh, I'm sorry man- ."

"What?"

"I said I'm sorry- !"

"What?" Jake yelled. "I can't hear you, I have hearing problems!"

Was this hell? Sunoo felt like he was in hell. Minus the smell. That had been bottled up directly from heaven.

"I'm sorry!" Sunghoon yelled back, and now they were both having a screaming match in the hallway.

"Yeah, I was having sex with my super hot boyfriend who's an idol by day and my lover by night if you even care, and he had his thighs around my head and he must have squeezed too tight and- ."

"We don't know each other, you don't have to tell me that."

The sound of the doorknob turning had Sunoo shrinking back towards the back of the closet in terror.

"Wait, hold on! The fumes make you lose brain cells, I mean just look at me- !" Jake tried to stop Sunghoon but he was too late. The alpha pushed open the door and walked inside.

"Hey, where's that guy you were with?" Sunghoon asked Jake.

Sunoo shoved a fist in his mouth to keep his feral screams in. His heart was beating so fast he thought his chest was going to explode, near tears as he prayed for Sunghoon to stay away from the closet.

"He's um..." Jake was clearly at a loss for words, unable to cover for Sunoo any longer.

With a deep breath, and one last slap to his own face, Sunoo pushed open the closet doors and tried for his best smile.

"No bed bugs in here!" Sunoo said cheerfully, taking in the sight of Sunghoon's handsome face twisted in surprise.

"Sunoo?"

"Sunghoon hyung, congratulations!" Sunoo tried to be normal, despite the fact that his heart had sunk deep down his body and into his asshole. "Your room is all clean!"

Sunghoon blinked slowly and then looked between Jake and Sunoo.

"...you look for bed bugs in that?" Sunghoon pointed at Sunoo's outfit, consisting of a pretty blouse and tiny little shorts. "Seems NSFW."

The joke had Sunoo giggling and blushing, and he awkwardly tried to cover his bare thighs with his hands.

"The skin tempts the bugs." Sunoo said hastily. "Gets them to come out."

"They're not the only ones tempted." Jake muttered, clearly unimpressed by the way Sunghoon was unable to take his eyes off Sunoo. "And not the only things coming out..."

"Well, thank you guys for your service." Sunghoon said, saluting only Sunoo which made Jake pout in the corner. "Do I tip you or- ?"

"Oh, you don't have to do that!" Sunoo said quickly, ignoring the stink eye Jake was giving him.

"Alright. I guess I'll just buy you another hot chocolate so we're even." Sunghoon teased, and Sunoo's smile grew.

"Only if there are extra marshmallows!"

"That's the only way!"

"I'm also here." Jake said, ruining the magical moment between Sunghoon and Sunoo who were forced to break eye contact.

"Sure, buddy." Sunghoon said. "Hey, let me walk you guys to the door."

It took all but three steps to cross the room but the gesture touched Sunoo's heart anyway.

"Hey Sunoo." Sunghoon began casually, after Jake had left the room and had pressed the elevator button in the hallway. "So...you didn't find what you were looking for right?"

The phrasing made Sunoo pause and he turned with a suspicious look, wondering what the alpha was on about.

"Right..." Sunoo said slowly. "No bed bugs!"

Sunghoon just hummed and moved towards his bed, reaching under the pillow and pulling out a familiar Sanrio themed envelope that had Sunoo's heart threatening to plunge out of his body and hit the floor below.

As if this was all a hilarious joke to him, Sunghoon's smirk grew.

"So, you weren't looking for this then?"
