johnny slowly straightened up and tried to realize where he was when he remembered what happened yesterday.

the young american stood up and checked his phone. his parents tried to contact him several times while he was sleeping.

"shit! they'll kill me" he said in a stressed tone.

he immediately called his mom while he made his way to the kitchen and made coffee for him.

"johnny?! where the fuck are you?!"

"i... i'm sorry for not telling you, but i caught a flight to korea because a friend of mine needed helpー"

"you what?!"

"i'm in korea... and i guess i'll stay and live here."

silence. johnny heard his mother talking to his father in the background.

"your father will come to korea. he'll explain everything to you when he's here."

the woman hung up. her son in the meantime let out a loud scream.

he needed to find ten before his father arrives.

johnny drank his coffee fastly and searched for some clothes for today. he left the apartment and walked around gangnam.

does he even have a plan what to do? nope.

"how am i supposed to find him in this huge cityー" johnny felt his phone vibrating in his pocket and a familiar name was seen on the display. he started smiling and his heart suddenly beat faster.

"ten? where are you? i'm already searching for you for an hour!" why are you overreacting like that, john?

"so you were serious that you'll come to korea, huh?"

"of course! where are you?"

"i'm sitting in dunkin' donuts next to yeoksam station"

"okay, stay where you are! i'll be there in five." johnny hung up and started running to yeoksam station.

he didn't expect him to be this fast, but what would he do for such a beautiful small creature like ten?

the american pushed the door. his eyes immediately seeing the boy he was searching for.

why does he feel like kissing the younger right now?

"ten! why? why did you do that?" the older asked while he sat down in front of him.

"i... i was panicking... my dad overwhelmed me with work and everything. i wanted freedom... i needed it before my body killed itself." ten explained and tears rolled down his cheeks. it broke johnny's heart.

he wanted to punch ten's father in the face for mentally destroying him.

"okay, i won't be mad at you. let's just hope your father won't come to korea for you because if yes, i cannot guarantee for him to get home safely." the older tried to grab for the thai's hand to comfort the small boy, but said male pulled away his hands earlier.

"johnny! he's still my father! you cannot hurt him!" johnny's protecting side makes ten's heart go a little bit crazy.

"i won't hesitate. he hurt you too, ten!"

the younger rolled his eyes at the american's action and stood up.

"come on, we'll go somewhere else, okay?" he asked johnny, but only earned a shake of the head. "i still haven't eaten my breakfast yet. what about we eat here together?" a slight smile appeared on johnny's lips and his eyes got bigger in some kind.
