El Pecado, Mark Lee

XLIX

Hyunjae's loud voice annoyed the whole people inside the wide living room. He just embarassed Sangyeon right infront of some NCT members, making him smacked the younger's head.

"Behave you rat." Hyunjae rubbed the painful area, apologizing to all of them.

"It's okay, let him be. They always come here anyway."

Johnny reassured saying it's fine for him to be comfortable as some of the members that are close to Younghee tend to come to waste some times together.

Younghee just stepped out from Renjun's room along with him. Hyunjae's excistence did pumped up her energy making her run to her friend.

"Lee Jaehyun!" A small body crashed into the taller male's arms making them lost balance and fell onto the couch.

"Be careful, Hee." Hyunjae helped her to get up and fixing her messy hair. Younghee is an adorable one.

"It's been awhile since I see you. It's always Younghoon and Juyeon."

Jaemin came in with a tray of hot chocolate and coffees, Jisung brought some snacks and cookies for the guests and the members.

"Did they just left Korea last morning?" Sangyeon started the conversation with Johnny, both were in charge on keeping eyes to the members.

"Yea, they did. Only six of them left, not all the people at Las Vegas know how much NCT members are."

The eldest could be talking about business and some mafias stuff but not for the younger members. Younghee and Dreamies played with Yong since the still growing up kitten was sick.

"Zhong Chenle be careful, you might press his stomach!"

"Wait till Jeno knows how we boys treat kitten."

Younghee bursted out a big snort following by the others. As the time passing by, some of The Boyz came into the mansion to meet NCT's members and Younghee.

Younghee couldn't lie to herself if she didn't fell for Younghoon's smile. That pure smile she witnessed ever since.

The said male then came into the their spot, greetings each members and finally went to Sangyeon.

She be fell for his bare minimum. The way he smiled, he laughed and how polite he was despite of being one of the powerful member of The Boyz, she still couldn't resist those memories.

It's just that when she moved back to Korea, she lost some of the memories and started to gain little by little as months passes by.

"Hey." He whispered into her ear, sending tickles down her whole body.

"I told you I'm ticklish!" She playfully pushed his head away with her knuckles. He took a seat right beside her and politely smiled towards NCT members around him.

"How you doing, Hoon?" Jungwoo came to give him a handshake.

"As usual, nothing special. Except for last mission was done very well."

Younghee grew tired and sleepy upon of the lack response of her words since Younghoon sat beside her.

Her lid slowly closed by itself, Yong started to warm his body in her arm making her more comfy with the feelings. Younghee's head finally fell onto Younghoon's broad shoulder.

"So President Cho—"

His body went all frozen, Younghee hated it when someone interrupts her sleep.

"It's getting easier for this girl to sleep. She's been less sleeping ever since Mark got real busy with the upper class mission." Renjun ranted as he carefully take Yong away from her arm to put him into his cage.

"I see... did Mark know this?" Younghoon tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear, admiring her sleeping figure.

Such a pretty face with an even beautiful soul.

"We're not quite sure about that, at last only them know. They are soulmate." Jaemin shrugged, telling the male the truth behind their relationship these days.

Younghoon hated the last spoken word. Soulmate.

Sometimes he thought universe is unfair to let people to be fated with each other, even if they never knew of each other's existence. Why can't he love someone he wanted freely?

"Let me take her to her room."

Younghoon slowly moved her neck onto his muscular arm, one hand supporting her fragile back. He excused himself to the eldest to send her upstairs.

The wooden door opened, revealing a sight of a clean and neat room of the only girl among all of them. The scent of her room is really her scent.

Younghoon gently lay her on the white bed, adjusting the pillows and lighting up the scented candle. Younghee loved scented candles so much that she couldn't sleep well without it.

Hesitantly, he shifted his face closer to hers.

"Cho Younghee, how I wish I am the one who should complete your heart." Sighing frustratedly, he lay his head beside hers without disturbing the girl at all.

"Remember when we first met? Ever since that day you looked adorable in my eyes."

His eyes started to get glassy. He held her hands tight, locking their fingers together without any hesitant. He took a deep breath, leaving a kiss on top of her knuckles.

"I saved you because I hoped that you'd remember me, Kim Younghoon. But it was too late when you discovered me again, at last we all will end up with our soulmates too."

Younghoon cried silently into the pillow ahead him. A slow soft knock wakes him up. He rubbed his red eyes, trying to maintain his cold handsome face.

"Hoon, it's time to eat." Eric's voice made him signing the male to lower down his voice.

"Should I wake her up?"

Eric replied with a no and they leave the room. Younghoon adjusted her blanket, leaving a light smooch on her wide forehead.

Little that he knew, she could listen to half of his confession. She slowly shifted further into the headboard, letting her tears drown her pillow.
