Stay Strong Seventeen

Verkwan 🤍 2

It's been a couple of months and the two were getting along beautifully.

Vernon got used to having Seungkwan around and it went as natural as breathing, Vernon came home every day from work looking for nothing but Seungkwan, and it actually felt so nice having someone to go home to after a long day at work.

They didn't have a honeymoon per se, their parents never planned on such a thing, Vernon had piles of work to go back to as soon as their partnership was announced, work hailed on him like rain but nonetheless, he didn't care much and wanted nothing but to keep his work under control and stay away from his toxic family affairs.

He came home a little early that day and just couldn't wait to take Seungkwan on that dinner date he promised him. The two were getting closer and closer every day, spending more time together no matter how busy Vernon was, he would always find time for Seungkwan. They had countless movie nights, walks and talked about their lives, what they liked and what they didn't and simply took everything slowly like they were dating  ... somehow, being forced to marry each other wasn't so bad at all, in fact, it was the best thing either of them ever had.

Seungkwan opened up to Vernon about his past and the way he almost never mattered to his family, he was sick for years but never got the attention his brother and sister had, he was simple and didn't care much about businesses or money, he just wanted to live a simple life, Seungkwan was an editor and usually worked from home. He liked to stay indoors and wasn't very extroverted but since he opened up to Vernon, the younger started to show his true colors, loud and bubbly and Vernon loved it all.

Their first kiss was intense and sweeter than anything they've ever tasted. Seungkwan was a little tipsy, the wine tasted so good that night, it was a beautiful rooftop restaurant and Vernon reserved the best spot on the private balcony where nothing but candles, red roses and the starry night sky could witness what happened when Vernon took Seungkwan's rosy lips into his own. The soft moan that escaped the younger and their heated bodies getting closer and closer, no one witnessed it but the moon and the stars in the sky.

Vernon parked the car outside like always and run inside the villa to meet his husband.

"Seungkwan? Are you ready we are running late for our reservation"
Vernon yelled going up the stairs, it was a little strange because Seungkwan was usually ready to go by the time he arrived to pick him up and excited to meet him by the door.

He run upstairs to see if he was ready yet, he knocked on the door a few times "Kwanie? Are you ready?"

He called not once but twice and still no response from the other side of the door and Vernon got worried ... "Seungkwan I'm coming in" he announced, the two still had separate rooms, still getting used to be with each other.

Vernon walked inside, the room looked neat except for the clothes scattered on Seungkwan's bed, obviously the boy had them laying out to pick something out for the evening but ... why isn't he here?

"Seungkwan?" Vernon called again making his away across the room to the washroom seeing the lights on and definitely hearing something, at this point, Vernon was worried, he pushed the door a little.

"SEUNGKWAN"
Vernon screamed the younger's name and immediately reached out for him. Seungkwan was on the floor, his phone next to him, his back against the wall while he gasped for air,

Vernon reached out for him only to feel Seungkwan's bones shaking "Seungkwan? Love look at me"

Vernon tried to get Seungkwan's attention but the boy was almost out of it

"Baby where is your inhaler?" Vernon looked around trying to locate Seungkwan's inhaler but couldn't find it anywhere, he was terrified and not sure what to do. He slipped his arms under Seungkwan's knees and picked him up taking him straight back to his bed laying him down and getting rid of the clothes scattered on top of it
