San yawned then sleepily rubbed his eyes for the umpteenth time then slowly set his eyes off on the driver's set and frowned. Then he slightly fold the neck part of his turtle neck sweater and stare at the mirror and saw on the reflection the bluish-purple blister like bruises decorating his slender neck.

Haiisst~ Why did he bite so hard?

San then sulkingly settle himself on watching the sceneries they passed by and heaved a sigh, again.

"So is Sannie still not over with his moping session?", San heared the culprit of his early tantrums playfully chided.

"Tch~

"Come on San, forgive me already. And it's not like I did not let you have a bite, right?", the younger pouted, eyes still on the road while his other hand is sneaking to the olders fingers.

San then deeply sighed then sneak a peak to the younger's neck and to the faint red stains covering it and blushed.
But I didn't do it that bad. The older then shifted on his seat then clasp his hand to the younger. The latter just smiled.

"Sorry, Woo. I didn't meant to over react", the older shyly mused while averting his gaze from the younger. And the latter warmly squeezed the others hand to let the older know that he's used to it.

Then they just settled peacefully, exchanging shy but warm smiles then enjoyed the comfortable silence and the cool breeze enveloping both of them.

A mile second past and San suddenly shrieked and Wooyoung hastily halt the car, turning off the engine. Screeeecchheedd. The car producing the painful nerve-wracking friction sound of the tires being co-erced to stop.

"What the --, are you okay San?", Wooyoung hastily checked the older for some injuries. Then the older also did it to the latter. Realizing they're both good and still intact, the younger voice boomed.

"D-damn it San, what was that?", his eyes twitching angrily. And San feel like shrinking on his seat from the glowering eye of his starting to be bad mood company.

"I-i'm really sorry, Woo but I just may realized something 'important' perhaps?", the older smiled sheepishly while slowly raising his hands in surrendeer. Wooyoung seeing the lame gesture, bite his lips to trapped the impending bursting of crackles but ended up failing perfectly. Then they both eyed each other then instinctively laugh together.

"Pfftt, s-hitzuu, that's so lame San", Wooyoung mused while gently ruffling the older's hair which made the latter to tease a small smile.

"So care to tell me what's that 'important' thing you just realized that you're willing to sacrifice our pitiful lives", the younger hinted with playful sarcasm. San hearing this feel his sleepiness dispersing off. He can't just tell him. He'd rather die first.

"W-what are we?", he stuttered lamely. Yeah, he's too young to die, literally. So he'd rather die out of embarassment. Wooyoung puckered his lips while slowly digesting the edible question. It was absurdly familiar. It was ... his.

"W-wait Sannie, that's the 'important' thing you realized? Pfftt ... unbelievable"

"Yah! I'm being s-serious here, Woo"

"Pft~I'm a-also serious"

"T-tch~ stop laughing or I'm really gonna jump from this moving vehicle"

"Then go ahead hon--

"I-im just kidding calm down", the younger nervously chimed when the latter nonchalantly open the speeding car door and prepared himself.

"So you're gonna be serious now?"
