THE BOY I LOVED

Soonyoung's eyes opened when the bright ray of sunlight fell onto his face. It though took him a minute to adjust to the sudden brightness, he also couldn't help but feel the heaviness on his chest, looking beside just to find Jihoon snuggling onto him with a hand placed around his stomach and face just an inch away when Soonyoung turned to look at him.

He looked so peaceful without thoughts. Soonyoung had this sudden urge to kiss the man lying beside him and he too leaned in, giving him a beautiful forehead kiss, one of his fetish to do if he ever found Jihoon as his boyfriend.

With the peck landing on his forehead, Jihoon's eyes flung opened and Soonyoung couldn't help but feel the fear creeping inside that this might be the last time his writer will allow him to his apartment. He expected to be kicked out, first from the bed then from the apartment since there was no way Jihoon didn't knew what he did. what really shocked him was how his writer didn't say anything to him, neither kicked him out, nor stood up to show him exit, beside all that, he was sighted with a morning smile, something Soonyoung would bet his heart to see everyday.

Jihoon's eyes were drowning down into sleep again, and before he could give in, he wished in his heavy voice, "Good morning."

And he fell asleep again, too soon to be true but Soonyoung did know his writer was no more just a boss to him. How could he consider him just a boss when a single word in morning made his heart flutter as if it was in cloud nine? He silently wrapped his arms around the man beside him, asking what he really gotten himself into. Wasn't he the one always reminding himself the man beside him was his boss? Why the fuck his heart had to race everytime he find younger looking at him? Weird to say but this was the very boss-manager relationship Soonyoung couldn't help but wonder about.

He fucking knew why that was happening, and he was lowkey scared by it. Their relationship was not only complicated but also a little one edge and he was afraid his feelings might ruin it.

Suddenly his phone rang making the man beside him groan in annoyance while he could only chuckle at him. He though grabbed his phone to see who it was, the caller id made him hesitant to pick it up.

Not wanting to annoy the younger more, he made his phone silent, keeping it aside only to watch his writer directly looking at him, "Why don't you pick it up?"

Soonyoung shook his head, "Not that important."

Jihoon then chuckled, "From when Seokjin hyung is not that important to you? Pick it up, he must be wondering where I slicked off yesterday."

Soonyoung sighed, grabbing his phone in his hand as he replied, "I messaged him saying we were leaving. I informed Seungcheol Hyung and Jeonghan Hyung too so I don't think so this would be the matter."

"Pick it up." Jihoon stated calmly while Soonyoung did what he was told. A soft voice came from the other side of the call, "Where are you?"

Jihoon looked at his manager silently shaking his head. He replied, "At home. Why?"

"Did Jihoon said anything to you?" The older's voice was almost worried and the glance towards Jihoon's side didn't help Soonyoung in any way.

"Does that matter Hyung?" Soonyoung voice was somewhere lingering between a tone of calmness and frustration. "You did what you have to do, he did what he have to do. Does that matter if I know about it or not?"

Jihoon snuggled uncomfortably under the blanket, looking anywhere but at Soonyoung. The voice on the other side sighed again, "Tell him I want to meet him if he picks up your calls."

Soonyoung had this sudden urge to snap out of his manager form and ask Seokjin if it really was worth meeting his writer. But Strangely he didn't, he just hummed in response and kept his phone aside after cutting the call.

He looked at Jihoon and before he could even say anything, the writer announced, "I don't want to meet him. Atleast not now."

Soonyoung sat up, removing the blanket from the face of person beside him as he stated, "But I think you should meet him."

The statement only made Jihoon frown his brows as he sat beside him too, "I am afraid I'll end up fighting with him. I overreact when I am mad. I just did yesterday and if i caused a scene there, it would be too much for you to handle."

Soonyoung smiled, cupping the cheeks of his writer as he replied, "Telling how you feel is not overreaction Jihoon. Beside if you are mad at him, confront him. It's bad to keep it in your chest you know. Even I'll advise you to confront me too if you ever get mad at me. Let me know where I was wrong. Confrontation is important for not repeating the same mistake again."

Jihoon looked at him, smiling warily, "Do you think he'll care?"

"If he wouldn't, he would not be calling me this early in morning."

Jihoon sighed, acting on giving up as a first thing in morning, "Alright. Go freshen up. We'll go there together."

================================

"That's Jihoon's shirt!" Seungcheol yelled out loud when he saw Soonyoung following behind Jihoon in his oversized t-shirt that at the moment fit him perfectly and his baggy jeans which Jihoon was too lazy to return due to its big size. The clothes were little casual but most of the employee liked to wear comfortable clothes in company since it was allowed.

When Seungcheol finally got a hold on his bestfriend and his manager, he chirped up, "Tell me what you both were doing yesterday?"

Soonyoung cheeks flushed in embarassment while Jihoon replied, too nonchalant in comparison to Seungcheol's excitement, "He crashed on my place last night."

There came the teasing tone, "Crashed huh? Which type of crash are we talking about here?"

Jihoon smiled sarcastically, shoving him off from his way as he declared, "The same crash you would feel if i throw you off this window right now."

Soonyoung immediately followed his writer from behind, ignoring the way Seungcheol grinned at him while speaking utter nonsense, "How romantic!"

Jihoon just shook his head while walking towards Seokjin's cabin, "Ignore him. Spending time with Jeonghan has corrupted his mind."

Soonyoung looked back at the grinning Seungcheol, "No wonder he thinks being thrown off the window is romantic."

Jihoon just shrugged his shoulders at the statement as if it was none of his concern. When they finally stood in front of the cabin door, Jihoon looked back, "When I start being unreasonable or maybe spitting nonsense, tell me to stop. If i get mad, for real, drag me out. Got it?"

Soonyoung laughed at the orders, nodding his head as he spoke while showing his thumbs up, "Got it!"

The moment Jihoon opened the door without even bothering to knock, Soonyoung saw the wary expression of Seokjin's face changing into a sudden brightness. When both of them stood in front of eachother, Seokjin smiled weakly, "You came."

"I had to." Jihoon replied, "You called... beside my manager told me it's not a good thing to keep something in your chest."
