Is this too fast?

Author p.o.v

Let the journey begin

Is this going to fast ?....

Am I strong enough to protect them ?....

What could the dark crew possible want with me ?...

What if Seonghwa knew them ?.....

What is Seonghwa to me ?....

All these questions ran through Hongjoong's mind, it was like his brain finally started to process all the event from the past few days.

He needed answers but he didnt know were to start looking for them, he needed to know what the dark crew wanted with him, he needed to know that seonghwa wasn't a treat, he needed reassurance.....but how...

Seonghwa noticed the boys tense form as he walked beside him, he looked detached almost, like he was to lost in thought to notice anything around him. Placing a hand on Hongjoong's shoulder he stopped him from walking any further, Hongjoong turned around to ask what was the matter, finally snapping out of his trance.

"Is their something wrong, Hongjoong?", Seonghwa asked his voice firm but still with its underlying warmth.

Hongjoong looked down, he didn't want to ask Seonghwa if he knew about the dark crew, but he knew he had too, or else his mind would keep playing tricks on him.

"S...Seonghwa I know we just meet and um.. god..why..is this so hard to say......", Hongjoong mutter this was proving to be difficult, he couldn't even put the correct words together to ask what he wanted.

"Don't be nervous around me, ask me anything ",Seonghwa said while stroking Hongjoong's hand, this just made Hongjoong feel guilty, like he forced Seonghwa to say that....

"Who...who do you associate yourself with?",Hongjoong said voice firm, while looking into seonghwa's eyes, "I am my own person, I work for none I associate only with those I trust", Seonghwa answered, voice never lacking even once while talking.

"So you don't work for anyone?",Hongjoong asked a bit puzzled, if he worked for no one then what made him kill Sovereignty's crew.

"I don't work for anyone I work for myself, and for my gain only. I killed that crew because they did something to my family personally. I didn't mean to drag you into my revenge plan", Seonghwa ended, his head tilted a bit downwards.

Hongjoong felt a little bit of reassurance, he let a soft sigh escape his lips as seonghwa pulled him into a tight hug. But if only this soft moment in time could last forever.

"Hongjoong !!", a loud voice screamed caused to couple to peel away from each other with much distaste. Mingi and Jongho came to a stop in front of the two, all four of them how standing in the middle of the desolate street the moons glow giving the much too calm surroundings an eerie feel.

"Hongjoong where did you go, we where looking everywhere for you ?", Jongho said not paying much attention to the other male beside hongjoong. "I-..",before hongjoong could answer he was pulled to Mingi's side the boys grip on his wrist tightening. "Who be this pretty boy?",Mingi said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Wrenching his hand out of Mingi's grasp he said, "This is Seonghwa ",hongjoong said, "Why is he following you then ?", Mingi asked questioningly while eyeing seonghwa up and down.
