Waking up in a cold sweat, Sangwoo shivered when cool air hit his skin as the light sheet was shifted from his body. Another nightmare. Another one involving his mother. At least they weren't as frequent since Yoonbum came along.
He wasn't used to waking in the nude, but Bum had deserved a treat for his good behavior in saving his ass. A full night's worth apparently by the look of the sunlight seeping in through an uncovered window. Both of them had never gone so long in doing something so sinful but God had it been so good.
"What time is it?" Sangwoo asked his newly proclaimed boyfriend, watching as Bum shifted onto his knees.
"...I think it's lunchtime," Bum had managed to squeak out while shyly rubbing his cheek. Sangwoo yawned.
"Were you staring at me all morning?" He smirked slyly. Bum shifted again to find a better position to sit, pulling the sheet up a bit and looked to his side.
"Yes..."
Sangwoo sat up finally, stretching out his back with a satisfying pop from his spine.
"Ah... um, Sangwoo..." Yoonbum stuttered out, his voice quiet, his hands balling up the white bed sheet, "I... really enjoyed last night...! For the first time..."
"That was our second," Sang softly chuckled before getting lost in thought about his previous nightmare. It was Yoonbum this time. He could've sworn it was his mother; but it was Bum. He looks so much like that bitch. Bum is nothing like her, right? They aren't related right? No way, Yoonbum was older than him. He unconsciously let out a comment, "You're so... old, Bum."
Sangwoo could hear the smaller man uncomfortably shift again. He could've sworn Bum made a dissatisfied sound and Sangwoo felt a drop in his heart.
"That's not what I meant... sorry."
Ruffles of the sheets filled the silent air as Sangwoo stood from their resting spot. Yoonbum watched as the muscular man patted his black hair before saying something about dressing; he watched as Sangwoo slowly traversed to the second floor of the home.
Once Sangwoo's body was out of sight, Bum felt for the soreness coming from his bottom only to find dried blood. His ass had torn from how rough Sangwoo had been. It was Bum's fault though, asking for him to go faster.
Yoonbum changed into a cream shirt he found laying on the carpet, assuming it was probably Sangwoo's, and some old black shorts. He sat against the wall next to the door and pulled his knees close to his chest.
"Agh! I'm so hungry." Sangwoo grumbled as he returned to the first floor, now dressed in a light grey button up with some old jeans he found.
Sangwoo shuffled to the kitchen, grabbing leftover spaghetti to heat on the stove. Bum kept his gaze away, but Sang knew Bum wanted to be noticed by him.
"Ah~ oh no~!" Sangwoo began to tease as he sat down at the kitchen table with two plates, "There's too much for me to eat by myself~! I wish there was someone to eat with me~!"
Limping towards the kitchen, Bum smiled to himself and his cheeks turned red. He stopped at the entrance where Sang said it was alright for Yoonbum to sit with him. Bum sat on one leg, propping his bottom on it to ease the pain, while the other hung off the side of the chair barely reaching the tile floor.
Sangwoo fed Yoonbum a meatball, he teased again, "It's human meat~"
This resulted in Bum gagging and Sang chuckling.
"I'm kidding~! You actually believe everything I say?"
"Ah!" Bum tried to rebut, covering his mouth with his hand, "N-No that's not-"
Sangwoo smirked at the flustered man across the table. "That's what's so weird about you~"
The teasing wouldn't end here.
"Tell me everything~ I want to know more about you."
Yoonbum was shocked at this request but ultimately decided on telling his experiences before Sangwoo. He started with his parents, his uncle, his grandmother; and he ended up discussing school incidents. Sangwoo left little comments here and there, to show he was paying attention to this new information being provided. He smiled through the whole thing, seemingly interested.
Dishes were washed and placed in the sink as Yoonbum continued a story about a girl he talked to in high school who humiliated him in front of classmates.
"You did the same thing back, right?" From the silence, Sangwoo assumed he did not. "No, no... you see, if you don't do anything back people will continue to look down on you. It would have not been pretty if that happened to me."
Closing his eyes and brushing his hands through his hair, Sangwoo could feel Yoonbum's uneasiness to talk about this and his decision to switch subjects.
"What about when you were young, Sangwoo?"
"Me huh?" Sangwoo pinched the bridge of his nose before recalling his pained childhood, "I guess I was honest to a fault? Not that I was more honest than anyone else... you know kids can't lie."
Looking to the side, he ended any talk about him; probably due to paranoia of his conversation being listened to by unwelcome ears.
"So you really didn't do anything back to the girl?"
Bum stayed silent, he shook his head. "Really? She must've thought so little of you after that."
Yoonbum couldn't look at Sangwoo anymore and turned away from embarrassment and the thought that Sangwoo also looked down upon him.
"I don't think you're below me, Bum. How about we clean up? Maybe we can go on a date later."
Sangwoo stood from his seat and made his way towards the bathroom on the second floor. Before stepping on the first step, he watched as Bum slowly pushed the dining chair back and followed Sangwoo to the tub with a smile.
