From Jeup with love

Steam.

Why is he always like this. I swear to god he never picks up. Getting into your car you try to call him. Voicemail. Again. What the hell, you think to yourself. It's already half pass 7. He was supposed to take you out for dinner. Shaking your head you put the car in reverse and pull out narrowly missing your mailbox and tearing up the grass some. Damn it, oh well, what can be done. Speeding down the street you pull into a neighborhood that's dimly lit. Pulling up to the third house on the right you notice a set of lights on in the upstairs bedroom. Are you kidding me, you breathe heavily as you swing open your car door and slam it shut. Why must he be like this. You walk up to the front door and reach for the handle. Just as you're about to take hold of the door it opens inward and you trip forward. Throwing your hands outward to brace yourself a thin, yet strong forearm catches you at the waist. "Leo?" You turn up to where the light and angelic voice is coming from. Jeup has you caught in his arm just inches from the ground. Your face becomes a bright red as you try to hide your embarrassment. He chuckles softly. "You worry to much," gently helping you to your feet he leads you to the kitchen. "How can I not worry? The last time you were late I found you passed out on the bathroom floor." He winced at the memory. Now that Imfact was finally having their comeback he had been working nonstop. Not too long ago he was under medical treatment for a high fever since he'd overworked himself. You feel up along your arm to the place where he'd had his IV insertion. "Don't worry about me!" He flashes a warm grin at you, "I'm perfectly fine now." He quickly turns away however, not making you feel reassured. Trying to change the subject, he asks if you'd like anything to eat. Laughing you reply, "well yes, I mean we did have a date planned for tonight," "Ahh jinjja! We did, didn't we? Oh Leo I'm so sorry, I've been so distracted tonight. You see--" A loud squeak, the sound metal makes when turning on a faucet, echoes from upstairs down to the kitchen. Running water fills the emptiness that surrounded you and Jeup within the house. You look up at the ceiling and then back down at Jeup. Your eyes narrow and his face grew pale. "Jeup." You say, trying to keep your voice calm. "Who is upstairs." "Leo, it's nothing, the pipes are just--" You get up and head toward the stairs, he reaches out for your wrist but you slip away from him bounding up to the second floor. "LEO STOP!" He calls after you. The room on the far side of the upstairs hall way was lit. You run to the door with your hand hovering over the knob. Hesitantly your hand quivers before taking hold of the handle. He wouldn't do anything to hurt you, he's--he's not like that. Taking in a deep breath you open the door and a wave of warm air envelops you. It's as if time has slowed down. Steam rolls in from the shower and a beautiful blonde boy stands half naked in front of you with a towel resting on his head. A pair of spectacles rests on the bridge of his nose. His damp hair is half hidden by the towel but you can smell the pine shampoo in the air. His lean body stands at an angel as he tries to recognize the stranger standing in his doorway. Towel still on his head, he walks toward you exposing a pair of short black boxers that fit tightly to his wet body. He leans down into your face, mere inches away. His face breaks into a smile, "Leo, I didn't realize you were so byuntae," he teased, winking at you. A rush of footsteps approach you from the right. You're pulled into the room and held against the stranger's body. Jeup comes to a stop in front of the door. His face is filled with rage, almost frightening. You feel the body behind you shake as he lets out a resonating laugh. His arms wrap around you pulling you closer. Frozen, all you can do is stare at Jeup with pleading eyes. "Ungjae let her g--" the door is kicked shut and quickly locked.
