Chapter Seventeen

Wooyoung slides open the door to go out into the living area that morning, stretching himself out as he walks to sit on one of the couches.

"Good morning."

Wooyoung is a bit startled by the sudden welcoming, rubbing his eyes to see Yeosang sitting across from him on the other couch, "Ah, good morning, Sangie. Did you sleep well?"

Yeosang feels his cheeks heat up at the old nickname, holding onto his legs as he sits crisscrossed, "I-I slept well, did you?" He asks, trailing off as he takes a closer look at Wooyoung's appearance.

He looks utterly wrecked, to say the least.

Wooyoung's loose nightshirt is hanging low beneath his collarbones to give an even better view of the marks Yeosang had seen last night when they got back from dinner. He sees the clearly irritated skin around Wooyoung's wrists, them being more reddened than how they were previously.

It breaks Yeosang's heart to see his best friend like this. What is Sunghee doing to him? Yeosang's mind starts running wild with what he's seen and he can't help but think the worst.

Wooyoung nods, "I slept well, too," he hums, but a confused look comes across his face as he looks at Yeosang. Why does he look scared?

"Woo, are you okay...?" Yeosang asks hesitantly, not knowing how to bring up what he's seeing.

Wooyoung's body eases when he hears that nickname coming from Yeosang's mouth. Oh, how he's missed hearing Yeosang call him so sweetly. He processes the question and tilts his head, "What do you--"

Wooyoung's sentence is cut off by the sound of a sliding door, Sunghee coming out of their room in only his pajama pants. Wooyoung lets out a nervous laugh when he sees his shirtless mate coming towards them, nervous about anyone seeing the scratch marks down Sunghee's back.

"This is where you went," Sunghee chuckles, wrapping his arm around Wooyoung and sitting with him so he can hold his mate, "You know I like to cuddle in the morning, Woo."

Wooyoung's heart strains with the only two men he's had in his life right here with him, tensing up at the nickname and when Sunghee holds onto him in front of Yeosang.

Yeosang senses some tension enter the room as soon as Sunghee comes out, watching him as he holds onto Wooyoung.

He calls Wooyoung 'Woo' too...?

Yeosang bites his lip to hold back from saying anything questionable.

"I know... I'm sorry," Wooyoung looks up into Sunghee's eyes apologetically.

Sunghee nuzzles Wooyoung's nose and gives him a soft kiss, a big difference from how Wooyoung's body looks, "Don't apologize, just don't leave me again."
