Sins Apart | ONEUS

Chapter 20✨

"You didn't hurt your foot, did you?" Youngjo asked softly, prepping his head onto Hwanwoong's shoulder. His arms were still tightly hugging the angel's small waist.

Hwanwoong shook his head as he felt his cheeks burning from embarrassment, from both falling in front of Youngjo and realising how close their faces were at that moment. He could feel Youngjo's hot breath against the skin of his neck.

"Thank you for catching me," Hwanwoong shyly said, turning his face to face the taller but quickly retreated when he felt his nose and lips lightly brushing against Youngjo's face.

The smile on Youngjo's face got wider. How he wished he could just plant a kiss onto the smaller's cheek at that moment. He thought a little kiss on the cheek wouldn't hurt anyone, so he slowly closed the gap between his lips and Hwanwoong's cheek.

"Ehem.. ," he felt a hand grabbing, squeezing his shoulder, preventing him from actually giving Hwanwoong a kiss. He turned his head to meet Seoho who held a deadly glare towards him whilst coughing and making some incoherent noises as if he had a shrimp stuck in his throat.

"What were you trying to do to Woongie?" Seoho asked, still with a hostile expression on his face. Youngjo knew Seoho was already well aware of what he was trying to do.

"This," Youngjo quickly pecked Hwanwoong's cheek even though Seoho's grip on his shoulder only got stronger.

The little angel on the other hand, showed no active reaction as if the kiss had turned Hwanwoong into a statue. He had his lips pursed and his eyes blinking rapidly, acting like an android that had just experienced a short-circuit. His mind and body completely ignored the unpleasant exchange between his friend and Youngjo that was still going on.

Seoho, disagreeing with what Youngjo had done to Hwanwoong, immediately pried the demon's arms off Hwanwoong and moved his dear friend from Youngjo's lap to the empty space between them. "Are you okay? Did he traumatise you?"

Hwanwoong shook his head, cheeks still slightly pink from all the attention Youngjo gave him. Hearing that outrageous remark, Youngjo's mouth gaped open. He was deeply shocked and offended.

"Traumatise him? That was just an innocent teeny tiny kiss and on his cheek," the dark haired demon defended himself. He wasn't going to let Seoho brainwash Hwanwoong into thinking Youngjo was all bad just because the angel was some holy creature while he, unlike them, was a 'wicked' being.

Seoho was about to open his mouth when Hwanwoong stepped in, raising his palm in front of him to tell him to stop. Then he turned to face Youngjo who was also pissed.

"Seoho didn't mean to sound that harsh, he was just trying to protect me," Hwanwoong tried to rationalize Seoho's actions, squeezing the back of Youngjo's hands with his other hand. Still too shy to look him in the eyes, his eyes focused on the taller's lips, noticing how pretty it was.

Youngjo moved his gaze towards Hwanwoong, turning soft once he heard the angel's soothing voice. Seoho's eye roll went unnoticed by the two, too distracted in their own world. Hwanwoong was only half right, his rudeness was completely intentional.

Dongju had dragged Geonhak to a plaza that was almost an hour away from their apartment just so he could take a Disney themed polaroid picture with his beloved boyfriend. A university had collaborated with the plaza owner so the ground floor of the shopping centre was full of Disney when they entered. Dongju was overjoyed and Geonhak was more than happy to witness Dongju enjoying this moment.

They were already in line and it was almost time for their turn. The photo booth had prepared many props and costumes for the customers to use and Dongju was definitely going to make the most out of it.

"You'll be Rapunzel!" Dongju exclaimed after he used all of his brain power to scan and analyze which Disney princess Geonhak most suited to be. Geonhak, not wanting to upset his boyfriend, had no other choice but to comply.

They both walked out of the dressing room wearing stunning gowns that looked impressively identical to the gowns the princesses wore in the movies. Geonhak was still astonished that they actually had managed to fit him into the dress even with him fully clothed underneath. Well, at least that meant they lived up to their motto of catering to all people.

Dongju admired at himself in the mirror and then turned to Geonhak, he had his lips in a frown and his eyebrows furrowed, clearly not satisfied with just the impressive costume they had on.

"Rapunzel has blonde hair and Snow White isn't a red-head," he complained while running his hand through his hair.

"We have wigs too, darling," a male staff interrupted, a warm smile displayed on his face. Geonhak's ears went hot at the pet name he used for his boyfriend.

"What did you just call my boyfriend?" Geonhak put his arm protectively around Dongju's shoulder, he made the warning clear with his tone. The staff immediately took a step back, not wanting to agitate Geonhak even further who, by the looks of it, could easily beat him up.

"I'm sorry. Should I bring the wigs to you?" And with an approval from the smaller, he quickly ran to get the wigs.

"Are you jealous?" Dongju teased, giggling softly. He leaned his head on Geonhak's shoulder without breaking eye contact with the angel.

"Of course I am. Won't you also be jealous if someone suddenly act flirty around me?" Geonhak answered, he knew Dongju would also feel the same way if it was the other way around, judging by how aggressive the demon was when someone was judging them on some of their previous dates.

Dongju would also feel furious alongside jealous. He only laughed out loud, remembering how he poured water on a girl who was planning to seduce Geonhak. Let it be a warning to anyone who planned on getting close to his boyfriend. He gave Geonhak a kiss on his cheeks once he finished laughing.
