The soft rays of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Seojun lay sprawled across the bed, deeply asleep, dreaming of carefree days spent with Suho. But as the sun climbed higher, a rustling sound broke through his slumber.

With a sleepy groan, Seojun opened his eyes to find Suho bouncing into the room, his cheeks flushed with excitement. The sight of Suho's adorable face made Seojun smile, and before he could fully register the cuteness before him, Suho dove onto the bed, snuggling up beside him.

"Seojun!" Suho exclaimed, his voice a mixture of joy and urgency. He curled up close, burying his face in Seojun's neck.

"Hmm?" Seojun murmured, still half-asleep but instinctively wrapping his arms around Suho, holding him tight. "What's the problem?"

Suho pouted, pulling back slightly to look into Seojun's eyes. "Well, I might or might not have caught an influential man and... tortured him a little," he said, his tone dripping with mischief. "And now the police are after me."

It took a moment for the words to sink in, the playful tone barely masking the seriousness of the situation. Seojun blinked, trying to comprehend what Suho had just said. "Wait, what? You did what?" he asked, bewilderment flooding his senses.

"I thought it would be fun! But now we're in trouble," Suho replied, his pout deepening, looking utterly adorable despite the chaos.

Once the gravity of the situation hit him, Seojun shot up from the bed. "We need to go! Like, right now!" He quickly grabbed their passports from the bedside table, determination coursing through him. He knew they had to leave before it was too late.

"Are you serious?" Suho's eyes widened as Seojun pulled him up. "You're really going to run away?"

"Of course! Do you think I'll let you take the fall for this?" Seojun said, urgency lacing his voice. He led Suho down the stairs, grabbing his jacket as they rushed out the door.

They sprinted to the car, Seojun's heart racing with adrenaline. "Get in!" he shouted, and Suho jumped into the passenger seat, a mix of excitement and fear in his eyes.

As Seojun started the engine and peeled out of the driveway, he could feel the weight of their predicament pressing down on him. They had to get to the airport before it was too late.

"Do you have a plan?" Suho asked, glancing nervously at Seojun.

"Just drive! We'll figure it out on the way!" Seojun replied, his focus on the road. The thrill of the escape sent a rush through him, mingling with the fear of the unknown.

But as they sped toward the airport, the flashing lights of police cars suddenly filled the rearview mirror. Seojun's heart sank. "No, no, no..." he muttered under his breath, trying to shake off the panic.

"Are we caught?" Suho whimpered, his pout returning, but there was an undeniable glimmer of mischief in his eyes.

As they got out of the car, the police surrounded them, commanding them to raise their hands. Seojun couldn't help but smirk, a mix of defiance and thrill bubbling up inside him. "Well, it looks like our grand escape has hit a snag," he said, his voice teasing.

Suho turned to him, his expression a mix of annoyance and playfulness. "Hubby, we were caught too soon!" he whined dramatically, but even as he pouted, a hint of laughter laced his words.

"Maybe next time we'll plan better," Seojun replied, trying to lighten the mood as they faced the reality of their situation. He felt an odd sense of pride for sticking by Suho's side, no matter how reckless the adventure turned out to be.

As the police moved in to apprehend them, Seojun and Suho exchanged a glance filled with unspoken understanding. No matter what happened next, they were in this together, and that was all that mattered.
