The wind was blowing my hair in the empty street where I was walking.People were just like that.They would blow away our feelings.It was getting cold.People were starting to dress warmly and I could smell the smell of coffee.I didn't like coffee.I didn't like coffee.I didn't have many friends, I only got along with Niki. Other people were stealing my time. Besides, I had a sister to take care of. She was already sick and her condition wasn't getting better and the doctors had already told me to prepare myself psychologically.
After my father died, his gambling and alcohol debts had exploded on my head.I was looking for a decent job to work.But there was nothing suitable for me to work properly.Every job I entered was a setback and I was thrown out.Moreover, I was harassed while working even in an ordinary cafe.That's why I resigned from my job yesterday.I couldn't take it anymore.
Now I was wandering around the street again looking at the ads.People were usually back from work at this hour.I was looking for a job.Then I saw a paper on the ground and I wanted to examine it and as I bent down, someone hit me from behind and I fell to my knees.Before I knew where I fell, the person who hit me grabbed me by the armpit and lifted me up like a baby.Then he spoke quickly to explain himself.

"I'm sorry I hit you, I'll make it up to you later, I'm in a hurry right now," he said, then he took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket.

"Can you write down your number?

After I gave him the number, he ran away and I watched him until he disappeared. I don't know what happened, but maybe it was my lucky side's turn, maybe I could talk to work. But even though he took my number, I didn't think he would call because he seemed like a busy man?

After he left, I realized that I was standing where I was and I moved. I headed towards home. I was living alone at home. Before I was sick, I was staying with my sister, but after she got sick, she was connected to the devices in the hospital and I was staying at home, I was staying with her, but the doctors and nurses there were angry with me. They were saying things like "We will let you know when she wakes up, don't stay here like a lifeless person, she wouldn't want that".

I was living for her, I was working to pay for her hospital expenses, besides the hospital expenses, there were also the debts of my drug addict father. My sister had responded positively to few of the treatments they had applied so far. Even her breathing was a ray of hope for me, no matter how hopeless it was.After I got home, I changed my clothes and went to bed. My situation wasn't that bad. I had space to eat, shower and sleep, and the rest didn't matter.

While I was thinking to myself and staring at the ceiling, I heard a notification on my phone on the table next to my bed. No one texted me, except Niki, who was in Japan.I quickly sat up in bed and picked up the phone. There was a message from an unknown number. I read the message from the notification place at the top so that the read receipt would not go away;

"I'm sorry I bumped into you today, can I make it up to you by buying you a coffee?''

It was the guy who bumped into me this morning and took my number. I didn't really expect him to write. I wrote back. I didn't want to leave him unanswered.

𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐰𝐨𝐧
You can compensate

Actually, it was a simple collision, no need for coffee, he apologized, he was polite, and I didn't like coffee, but I didn't want to leave his kindness unanswered, in fact, it would have been better for him even if I didn't go, after all, I didn't want to steal his time, but since he invited me, he must have planned it, right?

𝐉𝐚𝐲
Tomorrow I'll pick you up from your house and you can send me a location at noon.
if you don't mind?
A few minutes after he wrote his first message, he sent the second message. It was sweet that he was suddenly understanding.

𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐰𝐨𝐧
I'll throw it away

When I woke up the next morning, instead of looking for a place to work outside, I was waiting for the boy who was busy.I tried to find some decent pieces in my closet to make a good first impression on him.After getting dressed quickly, I snacked on bread, olives and cheese in the kitchen so that I wouldn't feel too nauseous during the day.

Then there was a knock on the door. He was already here. I looked at the time on the phone and it was 12:00 and I guess he was a bit punctual. I realized once again that he was a businessman.
I came to the door with quick steps and slowly opened the door and looked at him.

"Oh yes, I've come to the right place," he said to himself. I nodded my head in agreement so as not to be overheard.

''Come on,'' he said, stepping back, and I quickly grabbed my phone from the table, tied my shoe strings and left.

He said, "What kind of coffee do you like?"

I didn't know much about coffees, so I preferred to be honest.

''I don't like coffee very much, so I don't know many types.'' We got in the car while I was working on the car;He said, "If you don't like coffee, I can get you another drink.

"No need, it won't hurt to try it once," I said. After I said my last sentence, a deep silence enveloped the car.

"What's your name?" he asked, and I realized that I didn't talk about myself and I didn't know anything about him.

I corrected it to "Jungwon. Yang Jungwon.

I added, "What about your name?

He said, "You have a nice name, it suits you, my name is Jay." I don't know why I said my last name as if it was a job interview.

He was obviously a businessman, I wondered where he worked, I thought it was probably a quality company.
Then I asked, "What is your profession?

He said, "I'm the owner of a company called Prada." I heard from people who came to the cafe that they designed their magazines and stuff. It was a very good brand. It must have been very famous.

''It's nice,'' I said. Then he looked at me in surprise, and I shook my head like what's wrong because I'm wooden to him.

''Usually after hearing Prada, people screamed and grinned at me, I was surprised,'' he said.

I said, "I'm not one of those kind of brand people, I'm not interested in fashion or anything, shouting is not for me.

He started to slow the car down, I think we were coming, and then he stopped the car in front of a place with a sweetly organized exterior.
When I opened the door to catch up with him, he appeared in front of the door and opened it for me.

"Thank you," I said and got out of the car. He must have noticed that I was still hesitant.
When he said, "Don't be shy, act like you're my normal friend," I remembered that the only friend I had in my life was Niki.

"I don't have as many people in my life as you think I do." He didn't even know me.

Then he took me by the arm and we went into the cafe together. He ordered what he wanted from the cash register and a sweet coffee for me.At least he said something sweet. I probably couldn't drink bitter.
Then he walked away from the cash register and came to me.
I nodded my head in agreement and tried to find an empty table, but Jay, who had already found it before me, grabbed my arm and dragged us to the empty table in the other corner of the cafe.
When we came to the front of the table, I sat across from him, I think it would be better to talk to each other, I think I would be nervous if he was next to me, after all, we were just getting to know each other.

''Let's get acquainted until the coffees come, Jungwon'' I already said my name, what more could I introduce?

I said, "I told you my name.''

He said, "It's not like that, don't you ever introduce yourself at school?" I shook my head from side to side.

''I am not going to school Jay I had to quit because of some problems''

"Like what?" he said later. He wasn't someone who would do anything behind my back if I told him, so I chose to trust him.

''I don't have a mother and father, my father's debts due to substance abuse fell on me, and after his death, my sister is sick in the hospital and I work to take care of her, so I couldn't go to school,'' I explained briefly.
I think he was surprised that there was such a story behind a sweet little body.

"It must be a hard life for you, where do you work now?" he said. He tilted his head to the side while he was talking and his hair fell on his forehead and I stared at it for a moment and then I came to my senses.

I said, "I'm not working right now. I quit my last job.
He said, "How do you pay the expenses and this stupid debt?

''That's what I was looking for the day you hit me, I was still looking,'' I said. After I finished talking, the girl who came had left our coffees on the table and left.

"Try it, see if you like the taste," he said with a hopeful look. I was going to say it was good even if it tasted like shit right now, what kind of look is that?

I brought the hot coffee from the cardboard cup to my mouth and sipped it lightly. The last time I drank it, nothing good had happened, and the fact that I could forget it and drink it even now meant that I was over it.
And it tasted really good. It was awful to be deprived of something so delicious just because of my traumas.

''It's beautiful...really beautiful'' I think he realized that I really liked it when I hesitated and spoke.

When he said, "I'm glad you like it, even your eyes shine," I tilted my head back to the table, embarrassed.

''Well, the subject was interrupted because of the coffee, how about instead of looking at the advertisements, how about completing the staff shortage in my company, I need a few employees anyway, and you will be one of them, and you will do a more reliable job that you will not be harmed, hm?''

When he said that, I was watching his eyes, not what he said.You got carried away so fast, Jungwon, snap out of it.
I asked because I wasn't sure. I was clumsy and I didn't want to embarrass a company owner like him.

''Jungwon, don't be silly, the most you can do is break stuff, you don't have anything bad about you,'' Jay said suddenly.I snorted as if convinced.

I said, "Fine, I'll come." Then he smiled again and took out a black card from his jacket pocket. I could say that he was using his jacket as a bag.Then he handed me a black card.

He said, "In order to get into this company, not everyone can get in, so you should have it.
What, did that mean he trusted me?

"Thank you very much, Jay," I said, and I bowed my head as I sat at the table and expressed my thanks in a physical way.

He said, "No, it's okay, you got what you wanted and I got what I wanted.

I said, "Yes, and when should I come?" If I got caught up in the moment and forgot important questions, I might have to write at midnight.

He said, "I don't know if it's a bit early for you, but you have to come at 9 o'clock and I'll introduce you to the company and tell you what you're going to do.I nodded my head yes again without speaking.

He said, "If anything bad happens about your sister, tell me, okay, I'll help you in any way I can." He was pretending to feel sorry for her.

I said, "No need for pity, Jay, I can handle it, as always.Suddenly he straightened up, straightened his posture and leaned over the table.

He said, "You misunderstand me, I don't pity you, I just want to help you, I don't want to see the life of a young man who should be studying wasted because of his family.

"I understand then," I nodded.

"You like nodding a lot, little one," he said, then laughed.

"That's the quickest way to get approval, and besides, I'm not tiny, I'm old enough to live on my own." Why are you picking on me for no reason?

''It doesn't change that it's tiny'' he said and threw his finished coffee into one of the garbage cans behind the table.There was still coffee in my cup and I picked it up to finish it.We left the cafe together and we were walking side by side towards the car.Then the high school girl came to us.

"Sunbae, can I ask you something?" he said towards me. Jay and I stopped to listen to him.
I said, "You can ask.''

''How did you become lovers? I like a girl too, I want to open up to her, I wanted to ask her for advice...-'' Towards the end, the girl lowered her voice and looked at us as if she wanted to be sure.

Then I turned into a tomato out of shame and was about to deny it.

"I bumped into him and that's how we met and started talking," Jay said, and he didn't seem to mind at all, I was on my tenth color here.

I laughed when he said, "Should I hit him too?Jay's eyes were immediately on me.

"No, you can just go up to her and tell her you like her," I told her.

"I'll try," she said, and left quickly, as if she'd been sent there on purpose.
I turned to him.

"You hit me and we met and we became lovers, it's nice," I laughed. Jay patted my arm lightly then.
He said, "What do you mean, should we be embarrassed in front of the girl, she's going to open up to the one she loves.
I said, "No, I didn't say anything.''

Then he headed for the car, Jay, and I followed him. He opened the door for me and I got in the car quickly. I liked his polite behavior. He got in the car too.
"Should I take you home now?
I thought it would make more sense to go home, since I had a place to work now, thanks to Jay, but then it occurred to me that I could visit my sister.

I said, "We'd better go to the hospital." He turned to me quickly.
"Do you even feel sick?
"No, are you worried about my sister?" I laughed.
''It's not to worry, never mind.''
He started driving towards the hospital.
I guess I must have been too quiet because he got nervous and turned to me.
"Why do you hate coffee?" he asked me.

I silently wondered if he was trustworthy enough to tell, and I didn't want to bore him.

"It's not that important, maybe I'll explain when the time comes," I replied.

"I wonder when then," he sighed.

After dropping me off at the hospital, he disappeared and I went to my sister's room, which I always visited.
The hospital was always pale and lifeless, everything was white, there were no bright colors, who would want to stay here, even the smell was unpleasant.

I opened the door to my sister's room slowly, I didn't want to wake him if she was asleep, he was hardly falling asleep. When I looked inside, the nurse was changing his IV drip and I entered the room with a sigh.
The nurse bowed slightly in greeting and left the room. I sat on the old red chair next to the patient's bed. Haerin's eyes were open and I started talking.

''Haerin, I've found a place to pay off our father's debt and work for your treatment again, and this time it's a trustworthy place.''

"It feels bad to be a burden on you, I wish I could work and help you," he said in his broken voice.

''No, I assure you, you are not a burden, the only problem will be our father, why would you get involved in money matters? I don't understand, he's dead and gone and he didn't even act as a father, and the mother is different anyway''

"You're so strong, hyung, I wish I could be like you.

"Believe me, you're stronger than me, you can speak so maturely even in these situations, Haerin. Your brother will take care of it, don't worry, beauty.

"One of your brothersss''

My sister was the only precious thing I had left in this life and I had to appreciate him, so I thought I would work hard.
In the morning I woke up earlier than I normally do and got ready. I put on a pair of black pants and a black turtleneck sweater with a black jacket on top.OK, it's a little too black, but in a serious place like a company, you have to wear black.Of course, I ran to the bus stop so I wouldn't be late.If the bus wasn't crowded, it would be a really good start to the day.Besides, I'm excited to meet new people.I hope I don't disappoint Jay, because usually the things I start end in disappointment.

While I was struggling with my thoughts, the bus had already arrived.
Jungwon was sitting in a room looking at the files that Jay had piled up in front of him.He didn't expect to have such a pile of work on his first day of work, and he had checked on Jungwon at least thirty times to make sure Jungwon was doing his job right.And how did he get to this room?
As soon as Jungwon entered the company, he was greeted very warmly.In fact, Jungwon thought that everyone would look at him with hatred, insult him and yell at him, but he was very happy that he was never treated like that.Then Heeseunf aka Jay's head assistant - friends for 8 years - took Jungwon to Jay's room.At that time, Jungwon was examining how big and organized his company was.Heeseung noticed this and laughed.

"Sunghoon has a hand in making the company so organized.

''Who is Sunghoon?'' Jungwon asked.

''The secretary who works here is obsessed with orderliness, she does everything in its proper place, even beating you if you don't follow the order she says''

''I was scared that he was so careful,'' Jungwon said and they came to Jay's room.Jungwon was stressed at first so he couldn't knock on the door.Heeseung knocked on the door to help him overcome it.

"The rest is up to you," he winked and ran away.
Damn it, Heeseunga muttered to himself. He heard a voice from inside and opened the door.

''Jungwon'' Jay got up from his desk excitedly. Jungwon closed the door and walked right into the room.

''Welcome'' he approached Jungwon.

''Welcome, it's really a bigger company than I thought,'' Jungwon said.

"I'm glad you like it, I'll escort you to the room where you'll be working, there are a few people there to help you, they know you're new and they'll take good care of you.

Jungwon nodded his head to indicate that he understood.Jay then grabbed Jungwon's shoulder and turned him towards the door and took his hands off Jungwon's shoulders and walked to the door and opened it.They walked down the long corridor with gray walls and gray concrete.(You can imagine the inside of the Hybe company with the enoclocks and stuff) Finally Jay stopped in front of room no6 with a white door.

''This is where you'll be working,'' Jay said. Jungwon bowed 90 degrees as a thank you. He walked forward and opened the door.

"I think I can manage after that, thanks for the help," Jay smiled.

When he entered the room, Jungwon was greeted by a person with pink hair like cotton candy and a person with brown hair and white skin like a vampire on the other side of him.He loved the way they looked.The one with pink hair got up from the table where he was looking at the computer with the white skinned person next to him and came towards Jungwon.

He said, "Welcome, Jungwon, I think it was Jungwon, right?" Jungwon nodded his head in agreement.

''I see, I'm Sunoo, nice to meet you, and behind me is Sunghoon'' Sunoo bowed in front of him because he wanted to greet him politely. He turned around and gestured to an empty white table.

''This is your desk Jungwon, across from Sunghoon is my desk and the assignments Jay gave you will be emailed to you from the computer on your desk and if there is anything else you don't understand feel free to ask us'' he said.
Jungwon made his way to his own desk. As he walked, he couldn't help but think.
'This must be the maniac that Heeseung called obsessed at the entrance, I thought I was naked for a moment, no matter how he looked at me'

After putting her bag on her desk, she opened her computer and saw the e-mail from Jay.
-I want you to write and save all the green files in Riki's room as word files.
Jungwon sighed, who was Riki and what was he, Sunoo could be useful in this situation, he got up from the table and turned to the two chatting.

''Whoever Riki is, I need to get the green files from his room, can you help me'' Sunoo said to Sunghoona in rebellion.
He said, "I did the opening, so why don't you take her to Riki's room and you can meet her?
Sunghoon got up with a sigh. He came to the door of the room. Jungwon started to follow Sunghoon so as not to be left behind. They started walking down the gray-walled corridor, but they came to an escalator. Jungwon was still amazed at how big the company was.

''You made the company arrangement,'' Jungwon tried to say.

''None of them have any taste, really, do you like it?'' Sunghoon was normally too lazy to talk to people, but he asked a question to make a good first impression.
When they got to the end of the staircase, there was a room with a black door directly in front of them. Sunghoon walked straight to it and knocked on the door.
Jungwon was now looking directly at Riki in a daze. Niki quickly got up from the table and came to Jungwon.

''Hyung, how come you're here?'' he said in a daze. Jungwon laughed.

''Fate seems to be bringing us together''

''Hyung, you need a card to get in here and Sunghoon hyung brought you here. Do you know him?''

''We met my roommates where I work and I didn't know you worked for such a company''

''I told you the brand name, but since you don't care that much, it's normal that you don't know we'll meet here''

''If there was time to talk I'd tell you why I came, let's walk around on the way out and I'll tell you until I get home'' Niki nodded and Jungwon said

He said, "I came to get the green files. Jay hyung said you had them.

"Is he working you already, you crusher?" he said and went to the gray cabinet next to his desk.

''This is only the half of it, I hope you don't get sick of it from the beginning, hyung,'' he said and laughed.

''I'll never get tired of it, I'll kiss the profession I've found like this''

"Come on, let's see if I can help you to the room.

''Yes, even very well, how am I going to carry them and how am I going to finish them?'' he whined.

''If you can't do something, ask the pink-haired one over there, he knows about such things. Jay hyung locked a lot of files with him in the past.''

Jungwon sighed and wrapped his arms around some of the files, hugging them. He and Niki left the room and this was Jungwon at his desk, staring at the files.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been 4 hours since Jungwon had started working on the files.It was past lunch time and the files were half done.Jungwon got up from his desk and stretched his arms to take a break and have a drink.He was alone in the room.Sunoo and Sunghoon had gone out on their lunch break to see their crush.Jungwon had heard at least that much of their gossip.He heard a knock on the door and called out to come in.Jay was peeking his head through the doorway.

"You didn't come by, so I thought I'd check on you.''

''I'm a little busy on the first day, you know, the adjustment process,'' Jungwon said, throwing a side eye.

"Let me see how much you've done. Jay walked over to the desk and sat down at Jungwon's desk.Jungwon went behind the chair to see where Jay was going to look.Jay went through some word files, corrected some typos and turned to Jungwon.

''Actually, it's a good start for the first day, it's just that you started making spelling mistakes because you were looking at the screen too much,'' she laughed. Jungwon smiled slightly and then got angry.

''You are the one who locked the work so much on the first day, the files are not finished yet'' he said and turned back. Jay got up from his seat.
He said, "I'm sorry, unfortunately, and this is only part of the job.

''It's going to be exhausting,'' Jungwon said and walked to the door of the room.

"We'll have a coffee, won't we?

"You know I don't like it

"We'll make you love it," he said and winked.

Since it was rush hour, the streets were full of people and cars and the buses were crowded.Jungwon didn't like crowds, so he preferred to spend time with Niki and take the empty bus late at night.
Jungwon and Niki were walking on the sand on the beach, wearing serious business suits that didn't fit the beach theme at all.

"Hyung, you'll always be here from now on, right?

''I'm here. I've already talked to Jay and he said it's okay if I make a mistake, so I'm starting to trust someone else besides you''

''Hyung, that's a good thing, I hope that when you meet the others you will start to trust them too, they are really like family, they were even thinking of buying a house together a few patients ago, most of them live alone anyway''

''Who do you mean by family?'' Jungwon looked at Niki puzzled.

''Jay Sunghoon Sunoo Sunghoon Sunoo I'm Heeseung and there's Jake, I think you know almost all of them'' Jungwon tried to imagine these people in the same house and it was chaos.

"I don't think I've seen Jake yet," Jungwon muttered.

"Jake is just like me, he likes to play games and he's from Australia, he's a really likeable guy, you'll see when you meet him" she said excitedly. Jungwon was curious, he had never experienced this family atmosphere and maybe he would feel at peace here.

"Hyung, it's getting late, should we go back?

"I'll give you a ride home, Niki.

"You'll go alone, not this time.

"I'll take the bus anyway, what's the maximum?

"It's okay, Jungwon, I'll quit first.

"I like to walk alone, and besides, the streets won't be crowded, come on Niki, walk until I get home," he pushed Niki. Niki sighed in agreement and they started walking.

After Jungwon dropped Niki off at home, he started to walk, thinking about how Niki had adapted so quickly when he came here from Japan, he was really strong.Jungwon's phone vibrated as he continued his thoughts on the road.Jungwon's phone vibrated.Jungwon usually didn't call Jungwon, so Jungwon was worried and answered it, fearing that something had happened to his brother.

"Jungwon?" he heard a voice.

"It's me.''

"When are you going to pay your debts, look we are still waiting and your time is running out FIND THE MONEY SO WE DON'T KILL YOU OR YOUR BROTHER" the person on the phone shouted.

"The debt is not mine, I didn't play those betting games, why am I paying the debts of that asshole?

''You will pay or you will pay,'' he was told and the phone went dead.Jungwon was stressed out, standing in the middle of the street.He panicked himself with thoughts of what if they did something to hurt him while his brother was in the hospital getting better.His eyes filled with tears.The cold autumn air hit Jungwon's skin and made his skin cold.Jungwon's nose was red.He crouched on the ground and put his head in his hands and began to shed tears.

Passers-by kept staring and Jungwon wanted to go home.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰
Jay and I were at the grocery store and there was nothing left to eat at home and I was lazy and I wanted Jay to do the cooking so I was brought to the grocery store and if he was doing it, that meant I was paying for it. I paid at the checkout after queuing up next to him. Oh my black card, so you're rich.

After I left the store, the cold air hit me in the face.It was refreshing and really nice.It made me feel like I was going to be sick, but it was peaceful.When I turned around, Jay was petting a dog lying on the ground.I rolled my eyes at him, then walked a little further and saw someone collapsed on the ground.I dropped the bags I was holding and bent down to help him.
I pulled his arms away from his head and made him look at me. When he looked at me, the memories of this morning came flooding back. Wasn't that the miniature boy from this morning? He was as surprised as I was. I called out to Jay. He knew him better than I did, since he'd hired him.

"Jay, you need to look over here," I yelled out loud, and then Jay himself appeared, and he glanced at the boy in front of me, and when he realized who it was, he quickly came over to us.

"Jungwon, are you okay? When Jungwon saw Jay, his crying got louder. I stood up so I wouldn't be interrupted and grabbed the bag so they wouldn't steal it.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐉𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰
When I saw Jungwon like that, my heart sank, and my brain immediately started coming up with solutions on how I could help.
He was still sniffling, his cheeks were red and his hands were like ice.

"I'll drive the car," Sunghoon said. I smiled. He was really like a big brother at moments like this.

''Thank you, I'll be a burden again,'' Jungwon murmured.

I slapped him on the back of the neck so it wouldn't hurt. He turned to me quickly.
"What are you doing, are you violent?" he laughed. I like to make him laugh.

Laughter suits Jungwon. I promised myself I'd do my best to make him happy.
"No, I'm not violent, Won, I don't know how you think you're a burden," I said.

''I feel that way because I'm used to being welcomed like this in the environments I'm usually in,'' he said. I wanted to know what kind of place he had grown up in and what difficulties he had gone through.

"No matter what anyone says, you've never been a burden to me," I said.We got in the car.Jungwon seemed to calm down a little more.Sunghoon started the car without saying anything.I didn't ask anything, in case Jungwon didn't want to open himself up to Sunghoon.We drove in silence the whole way.Until we came to a fork in the road.Sunghoon asked, looking in the mirror:

He said, "Jungwon, should we go to our house or should we drive you home?" My inner voice was telling me not to send Jungwon away, but to spend the evening together as a family. I chose to listen to my inner voice. Jungwon was about to tell him to drive himself home when I interrupted him.

''Jungwon, hang out with us tonight to clear your head and tomorrow we'll go to the company together, there are others you've already seen at the company and you can mingle at home,'' I said. Sunghoon started driving the car towards our house without thinking. Jungwon hadn't even said his preference yet.

"I mean, it's not like me to admit it, but it'll do for today," he said, leaning back in his chair.
When we got home Jungwon fell asleep next to me, exhausted from the day's work and crying must have exhausted him.

''I'm going inside, wake up Jay Jungwon or come get him'' he knocked on the door and went in and left the door ajar for us to enter.
Personally, I didn't want to wake Jungwon up.It seemed like a better option to hold him instead.I put my arm under his knees and wrapped my other arm around his waist so that I could hold him and it was so easy.I thought it would be heavy, but it was light as a feather.I quickly closed the car door and went inside through the opened door.The house was louder than normal days.Niki and Jake were playing games as if they were fighting for life and death.Heeseung was having his 30th dream.Sunoo was again looking at himself in the mirror on the case of his phone and fixing his hair.I begged for patience and went inside.I went up to my room.Don't look at the fact that there were 6 of us living.Me and Sunghoon were the only ones in our rooms.Sunoo and Niki and Heeseung and Jake were sharing the same room. My room was at the end of the first floor of the 2-storey house, I preferred to choose the rooms at the bottom corner so that the sound wouldn't go away when I played the guitar.

I slowly put Jungwon on the bed without waking him up.I took his phone out of his pocket and put it on the table next to the bed and covered it with my thick black quilt.He made purring sounds reminiscent of a cat.I had a hard time not screaming right there.After leaving him in the room to rest, I went downstairs.

"Jake hyung don't drive there, JAKE HYUNG DON'T COME ON ME

"Niki, you know my goal is to eliminate you, right? Of course I'm coming, I'M COMING!
Niki kept dying in the game he had been trying to win for how many days, and when he died to Jake, he was having a crisis, and he was training trophies like a maniac to beat him, and he was developing his characters.

''Niki, if you had put that much effort into your studies and gone to school, you would have become a professor,'' he said.Niki threw the white pillow that was next to him at Heeseung's head.Heeseung went into dramatic mode.

"Jay, you see, he was gonna crack my head open." He pretended to faint. What did my eyes see?
Sunoo and Sunghoon were in the kitchen trying out a new dessert, and I was so scared of the kitchen exploding that I rushed over there to try my hand at it.

''I guarantee that we will be poisoned by the dessert made by Sunoo and Sunghoon,'' I said.

"It's not always you, let us try," Sunoo said, dropping Sunghoon's package on the floor as he opened it.

"Jay, you can't not curse once, can you? I'm going to put it somewhere," he snapped.I continued my gleeful mockery.I was continuing with my mockery.Until one of Niki's hit pillows passed in front of my eyes.It hit the egg in Sunoo's hand.Then somehow the liquid in it shot towards me.Everyone froze.Including me.Everyone knew I was about to make Niki lick this kitchen.Jake got up from the table he was playing at.
He said, "Excuse me, I'm gonna go up to my room. Take it easy, Niki." He ran out like he had a motorcycle stuck up his ass. Niki came up to us like a guilty child.

''Sorry, hyung, I was planning to throw it to Jake,'' he said.

"You can think about Jake while you clean up," I said. Heeseung spoke towards me from where he was lying:
He said, "Is the blond boy in your arms the one who just came to work at the company today?

''Yes, I saw him on the way and he was in a bad condition, so I brought him here to distract him and he's sleeping, but now I'm sure you'll love him when you get to know him,'' I said.

"We love you, we love you, you're finished, we've got a second cat

''But black and blonde cats are compatible''

"It is.
I left the others there and went up to my room because I wanted to watch Jungwon and rest at the same time. Don't ask me when I fell for him, it was love at first sight. When I got to the room, I slowly opened the door and when I looked at the bed, I saw that he was watching something on his phone.

I said, "People get up and walk around and look around. Are you looking at your phone as soon as you wake up?

He said, "I've looked around and your room is nice, but it's just a bit too depressing, I think you like the color black, and your wine collection is nice." I think he looked at it in some detail.

"If you want a drink, I can give it to you.

''I don't feel ready to try it yet, I guess I've never had a drink and I have a weak constitution, two or three glasses and I'm gone, that's how much''

I said, "With me by your side, you'll be fine. I'll take care of you." He laughed.

''Come out, master'' he said. He got up, he must have stayed and looked around the room because the last perfume I put in the toilet was on my desk. Jungwon had changed himself, not really changed, but undressed. He had taken off his pants and was standing in shorts and a sweater, and he had covered his legs with the bedspread.

I flinched when he said, "Did you stare?" He must've thought I was gonna eat it.

I said, "I stayed, it's nice." He turned his head away, I think he was embarrassed.

"Do you want me to give you something to wear? It might not turn out well for you or me.
He quickly lifted his bowed head.

"You can give me a loose sweat suit and a short-sleeved top," he said hurriedly.
After I gave him a white t-shirt and a black tracksuit, I waited at the door to see his reaction, you know?

"So, aren't you going to leave the room?

"No, why should I leave, it's my room and you and I are both men, you don't have to be shy.

"No, it's not that," his high voice became a whisper.

"From what?
''Yah Jay hyung come out for two minutes, I'm embarrassed, okay?'' I left the room laughing when he covered his face with the duvet. I did what I had to do.

From the author

After Jungwon changed, he went downstairs and started to talk to the members and familiarize himself with them.Although he had a prejudice against Sunghoon in the morning, it was broken when he saw him talking to him and dealing with the others in the evening.Niki came back to the living room complaining, of course.Jay had made him beat the kitchen clean.Jungwon felt hungry. He was hesitant to say so since he was new to the environment. He thought about getting a snack on his way to work in the morning and tried to appease his hunger. Sunoo got up saying he was sleepy and went to his room. Heeseung got up from where he was lying down.

''I'm going to make ramen, anyone?'' Jungwon felt as if Heeseung had heard him.

''You can't eat at this hour, hyung, you'll gain weight, I'm telling you,'' Sunghoon teased.

Jungwon laughed when he said, "I don't care if I eat it, it's something I eat all the time and my body is used to it.

Heeseung immediately locked onto Jungwon.

''Besides, Jungwon will eat with me, right Jungwon?'' Jungwon didn't say anything because he was embarrassed to ask, but he didn't want to refuse at a moment like this.

''Yes hyung,'' Jay looked at Jungwon, he never asked if he was hungry or not, he thought he might be really shy.

"Come on. Heeseung grabbed Jungwon's arm and tugged him towards the kitchen.Jungwon got up from the couch without protest and followed Heeseung.Jay leaned back to watch the two of them.

***

Jungwon had woken up first in the morning, not only because it wasn't his house but also because he didn't want to cause any more disturbance.He had changed and folded the clothes Jay had given him and put them on Jay's desk.He felt embarrassed when he remembered that he had slept with Jay at night.With no other room, they had to sleep next to each other and Jay didn't seem uncomfortable at all.Jungwon had already seen Jay's hand wrapped around his waist when he woke up in the morning.He was embarrassed for him.Jungwon left the room quietly without waking Jay up.Jungwon was going to sit down in the living room and watch some videos on his phone until the others woke up.It was a good time for work to start.In fact, in Jungwon's old jobs, they used to start working before the sun came up.This difference in waking time was good for him.He started the day more energetic.

Jungwon heard someone coming down the stairs and turned his gaze there. Sunoo was up and he must have been one of the early birds.

"Good morning, Jungwon
"Good morning Sunoo hyung, did you sleep well?
''I slept, in fact, I slept more efficiently because I went to bed early, I can even dance here in the morning''

Jungwon laughed at how hyperactive Sunoo was.

''What are we going to eat, should we prepare today's breakfast?''
''Sure,'' Jungwon said and got up from the couch.
''Cereal then'' Sunoo said and started looking in the cupboards.
''What a difficult dish to make'' laughed Jungwon.
''What can I do, but I mean, they usually don't eat much in the morning'' he said as he put the milk in the bowls.
"I'll go wake everyone up then, okay?" said Jungwon.
''They're probably awake, but call them anyway'' he said.

Jungwon made his way upstairs.It was the first time he was going to visit the house by himself.Normally he had only seen the inside of Jay's room.He was excited to see the rooms where the others were staying.He knocked on the door at the top and went inside.Heeseung was fixing her hair while looking at herself in the mirror.When she saw Jungwon opening the door, she turned to him.

''Sunoo hyung has prepared something for us to eat downstairs, I came to let you know'' he said.
Heeseung nodded his head up and down as if he understood.Jungwon closed the door and went to the second room.Niki was lying on the bed looking at her phone when he opened the door.Jungwon entered the room easily since he was closer to Niki and closed the door.
''Sunoo hyung prepared cereal for us to eat downstairs, come on, don't lie down or we'll be late'' Niki got up throwing his phone on the bed.
''How are you used to it?'' he said.
''I think I'm used to it, especially the understanding and respect of the others for each other has warmed me up even more, people really work together to be successful here, there is no such thing as eliminating competitors, it makes me feel even more trustworthy, I hope they will get used to me too''
Niki laughed lightly
''I'm glad you've found a place where you feel good hyung I hope you'll always stay here I'm not going anywhere from now on I'll get my own profession and why do you still live alone, you know Jay, you're close to me, come and stay here'' he said.

"There's no other room available, I'll move to everyone's room like a pauper.
"How come there are no empty rooms, Jay and Sunghoon hyung are staying alone and where did you sleep tonight?
''I slept next to Jay hyung but he said there was no room, he just said this place was empty, and if I came here, I wouldn't want to disturb Jay's personal space, suddenly''
''If you had, do you think you would have taken you to his company, given you a job and brought you here and slept together'' Niki said with an exasperated look.
''I don't know, it still feels weird, anyway I'm going to wake the others up'' Jungwon said and waved goodbye and left the room.
Coincidentally, they met Jay in the hallway.
"Good morning Jungwon, did you sleep well?
''I did hyung thank you'' Jay lifted his arm and ruffled Jungwon's blonde hair that resembled a chick.
"I'm going downstairs to get something to eat, will you come?
''Sunoo hyung told me to wake everyone up so I'm going to check on the others and come''
"You have a good grasp of where the house is then," Jay said and went downstairs laughing.

-Everyone had eaten and got ready and started to leave the house one by one to go to the company. Jungwon decided to take the bus so as not to cause any more inconvenience while everyone went to their cars.
''Thank you for everything, I'll be going now''.Niki quickly turned to Jungwon
''Where do you want us to drop you off?'' Jungwon didn't want to disrupt anyone's daily life anymore.
''I'll pass the company, it's not important Niki, I'm off then'' he said and left the garden with quick steps. Normally there was a bus stop in front of the house where they were staying, but Jungwon ran to the next stop so that they wouldn't know that he was taking the bus and immediately started waiting for the next bus.While he was waiting, he turned on his phone and started to browse through the playlists on Spotify to listen to music. Jungwon also wondered what kind of songs Jay listened to and made a mental note that if they ever had the chance to chat again in an intimate way, Jungwon would be interested to know what kind of songs Jay listened to.
But then he saw the wheel of a car in front of his shoes, and when he looked up, he noticed the black car. As he backed away in case someone got out, Jungwon saw Jay with the window open, making the bin sign with his hand.

As Jungwon tried to walk away, he realized how much he was being drawn in and getting used to them.
''Jay what are you doing, I told you I was going on my own,'' Jungwon said, even though it was a polite offer, his decisions had to be respected.
''It's cold and I saw you shivering. Can you not exaggerate and come?''
"No thanks, the bus will be here soon.
"What's this stubbornness, why don't we go together?
"I won't make you work for it
"What the hell, who says you're giving me a hard time, I'm going to kick his ass?

Jungwon smiled slightly. Normally no one had ever said that about him, except Niki, who had told Jungwon that he was worthy, but when Jungwon heard it from Jay, it felt more real.
''He's someone you can't handle Jay''
''Whatever, I'll spit in your mouth and get over it'' Jungwon didn't want to freeze any longer and get sick so he opened the door and quickly sat down and settled down.

Jungwon turned off the song on his phone and remembered the question he was supposed to ask at that moment.
''What kind of songs do you listen to?''
''I listen to R&B bands, they usually have better songs''
''Like what band or song?'' Jungwon felt that they had similar taste in songs, as if he felt that he would say Chase Atlantic.
''As for my favorite song by Chase Atlantic, I think I'm lost again, the lyrics sound like they are about me, so do you listen to chase atlantic?'' Jay was so happy that Jungwon listened to the artist he listened to, he could make references with the lyrics.

"My favorite songs are Right here, Church but the song that I think describes me is Friends
''Right here is a really good song''
"It is.

When they arrived, Jungwon got out of the car and turned towards Jay.
"Thank you for bringing it.
"Don't thank me dryly, you can do something else," he said and winked.
"Should I get something to drink or something?
"No, you'll understand later," he laughed and got into the elevator.

Jungwon was confused, what could he possibly want? He wouldn't want money like the other people who messed with him, unless he wanted a drink? Jungwon shook off the soupy thoughts in his head. When he came back to his room, there was a pile of files that needed to be transferred to the computer waiting for him on his desk.He quickly sat down at his desk and started his work.

***

Jungwon was almost finished with the files when there was a knock on the door and a girl entered the room.Jungwon thought it was Sunoo or Sunghoon.She was a pretty girl with blonde hair and a nice figure.But Jungwon wasn't interested.

''Here, I can help you with something'' Jungwon got up from the table. The girl stormed towards Jungwon.
"You're related to Jay, aren't you!" she exploded.
"Why?" Jungwon replied calmly.
''Jay likes someone and I don't know who it is, go find out from him!'' she said and threw the glass cup on Jungwon's desk on the floor. She was throwing a tantrum because Jay liked someone else.

Jungwon suddenly broke down. Did Jay have someone he liked? But he couldn't lower himself like that girl.

''Sorry, Jay hyung and I aren't that close, if you want to know, why don't you ask him yourself?'' Jungwon said tersely.

''Who the fuck are you to give me orders!''

 As the girl continued to yell, Jungwon tried to swallow his anger.The girl's hands suddenly grabbed the collar of Jungwon's morning dress and started tugging.This was Jungwon's limit.He pushed the girl away.She quickly fell on the seat in the back.But she made so much drama that she threw herself off the seat and started screaming.

"YOU TOUCH ME THEN SCREAM" Jungwon yelled.The job Jay had given him was going to go away,just when he felt like he had found home.Jungwon felt like crying.

Jungwon tensed up as she continued screaming and talking. The door to the room opened and Jake walked in.

He said, "What the fuck is going on here?" and he saw the girl stomping on the ground by herself. He ran to her and squatted down next to her.
"Minji, what's wrong?" he grabbed her arm and lifted her off the concrete.
The moment she said, "This stupid boy hit me," Jungwon lost it and Jay and the others came in. Jake turned to Jungwon to see if it was true. The people listening at the door were shocked.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING? Do you want EVERYONE to know what you said to me?" he said and took his phone out of his pocket, turned on the voice recording and threw it on the table and angrily waited for everyone to listen.

As the others listened to the sound, they noticed the broken glass on the floor. After the recording ended, the room fell silent.
"Do you think I can take another slander?" he said to himself, then picked up his discarded phone and left the room, weaving through the crowd.

Jake turned to Minju.
"What lies are you telling again, you've ruined the day of a child who has just started
''I'm not talking nonsense, he hit me!'' Jay jumped from behind to argue
"Let's look at the cameras then, Minju, to see who really hit who.
''Camera?'' the girl paused and spoke again
"Was there a camera in this room?
''Yes, there are in every room, good morning minju,'' Niki yawned, slowly feeling humiliated.
"Look at you cameras, I'm leaving, I'm going to pay for this later, especially to you Jay!" she said and slammed the door and left the room, unlike Jungwon who closed the door quietly.

Everyone already knew Minju was lying from the last time he said he liked her.Jay quickly opened the slammed door and went to his room.He wanted to watch what was going on.Especially their conversation.Then he realized where Jungwon had gone was more important and ran to the stairs.And as soon as he remembered Jungwon had taken his phone with him,he used his black phone to ring Jungwon's number.The first time it rang,it didn't pick up.Jay patiently rang the phone a second time.This time it picked up.Jay didn't wait,he spoke immediately
"Jungwon, tell me where you are and I'll come. Don't go alone.
"I'm fine, look at that girl I shot," he said while sniffling.
"I can tell by your voice how good you are, where are you?
"Don't come, Jay, she likes you. She told me to tell you that.
"What?
''He came and pressured me because he said you like someone and I should know,'' Jungwon said as his crying intensified.
''I like him? How the fuck did he hear that?" There was a few seconds of silence on the phone as Jungwon heard Jay swear for the first time.
"Sorry, it slipped out," Jay said when he realized.
"It's okay, I would have said the same thing.
"So where are you? Come on, I'm coming, I'm already out of the building.
"Of Jay of the coffee shop next to the company.
''Coffee shop adventures of Won who doesn't like coffee,'' he said and with a pleasant smile, he hung up the phone and got in the car and started to go to the cafe quickly.

***

When Jay saw the small coffee shop with a cute decorated exterior, he rushed inside.Jungwon was sitting in the corner of the shop by the window, scrolling through his phone.He hadn't bought any coffee yet.Jay walked quickly to him.He examined Jungwon's red nose and face.
"You should have gone to her, Jay.
"The reason I'm standing here is more important than the presence of that girl.
"It was a simple thing.
"Anyway, I'll get you a coffee and I'll get you a coffee and I'll come back.
"Good.
Jungwon was back on his phone again, looking at the fanart of the anime he was watching to distract himself, while the question of who Jay liked was on his mind.

He quickly looked up when a cardboard cup was placed in front of him.
''Thank you, I think I'm taking another step towards liking coffee'' Jungwon said and sniffed the coffee.
''You're welcome, I'll get you used to it, just wait and see''
Jungwon exhaled and laughed, then sank into deep thought.
''Aren't you going to ask?
''Ask what?''

"I didn't expect that girl to press you about liking her.
"So what if you want to like it, dear, I'll help you if you want to tell me, but I'll help you get closer
"Maybe I'll tell you.
"Why are you talking if you're going to cheat me?
"I wanted to distract you.

Jungwon leaned back in his chair.
''The person you love must be lucky,'' he said. After all, Jay was someone who could appreciate the person he cared about.
''You are.''

From Jungwon

As I continued to sip the coffee that I liked the taste of, I was listening to Jay's conversation with desperate desperation until I heard the word "you are".I tried to swallow it quickly so that the coffee I drank wouldn't spray out of my mouth.I couldn't swallow it.Now I was like a tomato from coughing.Jay was looking at me with concern.
"Jungwon, are you okay, look at me, I'm getting water" he said as he quickly got up from the table.Why did he suddenly say that? Did JAY LIKE MEN? Or maybe it was just a word drive in his mouth, otherwise why would he like a loser like me?

When Jay came back, he opened the lid of the water he had taken and gave it to me and sat back down.I was a little more normal after drinking the water, though.After I calmed down, I was just locked at the table, I didn't have the courage to look at him.I was shy, maybe? If I didn't ask him now, maybe I wouldn't have time to ask him another time.That ugly girl in that company might hit on Jay, she would make out with him in front of my eyes.I felt like I was rolling my eyes when I imagined all this.

"What do you mean you are, Jay, I hope I misunderstood?
"No, no, no, you didn't. I said you are.
"You mean you liked me?
''Yeah. But my fans at the company got it a bit wrong and they came and asked the guy I liked about the guy I liked, funny thing'' Jay chuckled as he fiddled with the cardboard of his empty coffee cup.

I finally looked up and made eye contact with him.

"I don't know what to say, I don't want to hurt you," I said, because I couldn't find other words to explain myself. How could they love someone like me?

''You don't have to respond right away, I didn't like you to respond, you're strong, you're cute, you're just my type,'' he winked.
''If the others were here, you would have been a good bully,'' I said and laughed. Then he remembered the others
''They haven't called either, so we'd better go to them, but if you feel better, you can go home if you want, I'll take care of it'' he said. His thoughtfulness made me feel like crying, so I was going to support him more and prevent him from getting hurt.

''No problem, I'll come, just don't let us meet that girl,'' I said and got up from the table.
"I'll check the CCTV footage when I get to the company," he said, and then I turned to him.
''Don't get me wrong, stop right now, you can sue her lies with these visuals, you'll probably win, she'll pay you money and you'll be more advantageous'' I think I'm going to cry again.
''His money is not important, just don't let him come near me, let's not deal with the lawsuit, let's not sully the reputation of his company now'' he paused.

"Do you think the company's reputation is more important than you, Jungwon? We're going to sue, and I'll be with you so that that asshole knows who he's messing with?" He opened the car door and waited for me to get in.
I said, "Thank you." I got in quickly.

It wasn't too late as I arrived here after the lunch break, we had already spent an hour here and Jay and I were still a long way from the end of the company's working hours, if I worked hard until then I could get all the work done and then go home and sleep peacefully, I also had to visit my brother and hopefully I could squeeze that in.

"What are you thinking about?" he said, "What are you thinking about?" He was driving the car very well, his veined hands on the steering wheel hit my eyes, and then I came to my senses, realizing that he was waiting for me to speak.
 ''I want to finish things quickly and go home in the evening and rest''
"Why don't you come to the dormitory like house where we stay with the others, we are better there and you won't be alone and nothing will happen to you at home
"I don't know what can happen to me and silence is more peaceful.

Lie. I go crazy thinking in silence.

"I don't think so, but anyway, you can stay with us today consider my offer," he said, and we pulled into the company parking lot.

Of course, I was going to think about it, and I made a mental note to go to Niki when I had a break from work and ask her, so that I wouldn't forget.

"Here we are After getting out of the car, we took the oppressive elevator and

I came back to the company I was about to explode with anger a few hours ago feeling like a feather, thanks to him.

When he waved to me and went to his room, I went into my room. They had picked up the messy windows. I think I would have been a round more angry if I had seen them.

Sunghoon and Sunoo were here too Sunghoon was sleeping with his head on the table, he must be tired, who hasn't been tired on this ridiculous day, Sunoo was taking care of himself by looking at himself in the mirror, classic Sunoo, I got used to him.

''Jungwon are you feeling better'' Sunoo said, putting down the cream in his hand.
''I'm fine, I guess I'm one of the idiots'' I sat at my desk and opened the mails sent in the morning.
''Oh yeah, I didn't like that girl either, I hope she goes somewhere else.'' I laughed, she was the perfect person to gossip with, you wouldn't get bored if you chatted for hours.
''The other day she was hitting on my Niki too, I was scared that she would touch me or something, thank God Niki kicked her out of there'' Is this really the guy Niki was afraid of?

''It was sudden, we didn't tell Niki about our relationship, we were hiding it, she must not have told you'' Sunoo said slowly.
"I'm afraid so, but fortunately you look good together.
''What do you mean, a well-groomed beautiful person like me and a child who plays games like a lifeless person?''
"It's a matter of opposites," I laughed.
"I guess so, otherwise how could I put up with my sweetheart?
''Oh, I forgot to give Jay the signature papers, I'll be right back, wake this tin can up, it's sleeping like a camel'' he said, he took the stack of papers in his hand and left the room.

When I approached Sunghoon, I noticed a lot of perfume boxes on his desk. I picked up the blue one and brought it to my nose to smell it, but Sunghoon must have sensed that I was touching his perfumes.
''Do you like it?''
''I haven't even smelled it yet, I'm sorry I touched your things without you knowing,'' I said, tilting my head slightly forward, after all, it could have been an item he valued.

''Smell it, then, if you want to look at the others, you can, Jake gave me the one you have as a gift for my birthday and after that day I became interested in perfumes and started collecting them.''

So the reason he had so many perfumes was because he collected them, Sunghoon always smelled amazing and I could smell it when I passed by, but it didn't really appeal to me.

"What did you give Jake for his birthday?" I asked, leaning back against the table behind me so I could listen to him more comfortably.

''I gave him a dog named Layla, he loves dogs but he never felt responsible enough to take care of them, so I wanted to give him a dog as a gift to help him get his courage back, but now he doesn't live with us in the dormitory, he's in Australia with his family and his parents take care of him because Jake works''

"This is a really nice gift...do you have a dog?

''Yes, Gaeul, a very beautiful dog, I love him'' she laughed as she told me that she must really care about him.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. Sunghoon and I turned at the same time and looked at the door.

He said, "I'm interrupting your conversation, but I came to see if Jungwon had passed the e-mails to you.

''Oh, I forgot about that'' I ran to my desk, I had opened the app but when I got into a conversation with Sunghoon, I forgot about it.

''No problem, it would be nice if you could do it by the time you leave, and what were you talking about?''

''Perfumes, dogs, gifts and stuff,'' Sunghoon said as he leaned back in his chair.

''Hoon, don't be idle, come on, you have signature sheets to give to the other secretaries, I'll give them to you''

"Aye aye. When Sunghoon and Jay left the room, I started my hard work.

***

I was in bed watching the ceiling.After everyone was done at the company, we had a nice dinner outside.It was really one of my fondest memories.Of course, they locked everything to Jay.Pity that he first rebelled and then decided to pay.After dinner, we went to the dormitory.After dinner, we went to the dormitory.I started to seriously think about the decision to live with them because I was getting up and going to bed with them.Every day started to be spent together and I really saw them as my family.

While I was still thinking to myself, the door of the room opened.

''Jungwon are you coming, we're having coffee on the balcony'' Heeseung said from the doorway.

''Of course I'm coming hyung'' I stood up on the bed to get up while Heeseung hyung closed the door instead of leaving and sat next to me on the bed.

''Jungwon do you plan to stay here and live with us?'' I smiled.

''I feel like I've found myself here, everyone means something to me and I learn a lesson from everyone and I'm so happy to share my memories with you so I want to stay with you but I don't want to be too much for you'' I bowed my head because I was embarrassed.

''This...this is really good'' he said and immediately jumped on me and hugged me.

''Jungwon, believe me, everyone loves you very much and everyone is in favor of you staying here, it's very hard for you to go back and forth and I believe we will be better this way'' Heeseung hyung stepped back with a smile.

''Shouldn't I talk to the others too?

''Normally that's why they invited you for coffee, to hear your opinion more or less, and if you were uncomfortable, they decided not to ask and poke you again.''

''You are really understanding people...let me talk to them and come back here then it's exciting''

Heeseung hyung stood up and did a dance of joy to himself, then laughed when he saw himself in the mirror in the closet.

''Come on,'' he said, lifting me up by the arm and we rushed to the others.

As soon as Niki saw me, he jumped on me and wrapped his arm around my neck.
''Jungwonn''

"Sir Niki

''Niki Jungwon has accepted,'' Heeseung said as she picked up the glass from the table.

Everyone was happy, including Jay.Jungwon was happy that Jay was happy.He had butterflies in his stomach.He could get closer to him during his stay.Jungwon wanted to get to know Jay.Get to know him better.

***

The next day, while everyone was at work again at the company, Jungwon received a notification on his phone.

number to know

Did you find the money Jungwon, I would like to remind you that we are still on your side:D

Jungwon looked up from the paper he was writing and looked at the notification on his phone. After reading the notification, his heart started beating in his mouth. He quickly put the pen down on the table and picked up his phone.

Jungwon

I don't understand what the hell you want from me, leave me and my brother alone, I have no money, I have nothing to give you.

Unknown number
If you can't give money, you give yourself? Like spreading those beautiful legs.

Jungwon
You're crazy

Jungwon quickly put the phone down on the table in his shaking hands and noisily got up from his desk, he couldn't see straight through his full eyes anyway.He quickly left the room without listening to Sunoo and Sunghoonu and ran to the bathroom and locked himself in a stall.Jungwon was sobbing with the relief that no one was in the bathroom.

How could he protect his brother? Jungwon couldn't even protect himself, he was quick to cry over simple things, he was verbally abused. Jungwon began to tremble with the reality that he might be raped, his breathing became erratic. He leaned himself against the wall to keep from falling to the ground.

***

When Sunghoon saw Jungwon almost running out of the room, he couldn't help but wonder what had happened, maybe he was uncomfortable?

He and Sunoo looked at each other.

''What happened, was he nauseous or something?'' Sunoo asked.

"I don't know, let's go check on her.

Sunghoon and Sunoo were about to leave the room when they heard the sound of one notification after another on Jungwon's phone.

''Shall we check?'' Sunghoon asked Sunoo, he wasn't sure, after all, everyone had a private life.

''Let's see, by the way, the reason he left suddenly could have been because he got some bad news''

Sunoo walked quickly to Jungwon's desk and opened the notifications on the phone.His face, which had been so chirpy, suddenly had a look of horror.He dropped the phone on the table.Sunghoon ran over and looked at him.

It was a bloody knife.

"Fuck. Sunghoon whispered.

''He might have Jungwon, Jungwon might be in bad hands right now!'' Sunoo ran to the door of the room in a panic. They would protect Jungwon no matter what, they would destroy the company if they had to, but Jungwon would be okay.

Sunoo started running around shouting Jungwon's name.

''JUNGWON WHERE ARE YOU!'' He was popping into every room, interrupting meetings.

Including Jay.

As soon as Sunoo heard Jungwon screaming, he got up from the meeting table and ran out into the hallway, his heart pounding.

"Where the fuck is Sunghoon?" He was talking in a panic.

"What the fuck is Sunghoon? Jay approached them.

"Jungwon's not well, Jay. We can't find him anywhere. They might have fucking kidnapped him. Jungwon's in danger, Jay.

Jay's blood ran cold. Sunoo spoke as if suddenly enlightened.

''Camera...camera footage JAY WE'RE GOING TO YOUR ROOM'' they rushed into Jay's room.

Jay quickly entered the company's security system room, the security system was inside Jay's room, behind the bookcase, it was a secret room.

When they opened the background on the camera, they saw Jungwon running to the restroom.

"How the fuck did we not think of the bathroom?" Jay whispered.

Jay ran out of the room without waiting for the other two, and by the time he got to Jay's room there was already a crowd of people in front of Jay's room.He calmed himself down as he approached the toilets and quickly opened the door.There were sobbing sounds, but when the sound of Jay's shoe echoed, the sobbing stopped.Jay realized that Jungwon was trying to do something secretly again.And whoever had made Jungwon cry was not going to let him live.

''Jungwon I know you're there, can you give me a shout please'' Jay wanted to make sure calmly.''

''I-I'm fine...no problem...I'll be right back'' I could tell by his hesitant speech that he was out of breath.

''How are you Jungwon, open the door and tell me what's going on and we'll work it out together''

"Jay, I don't want to get you involved and I can't lose you.

"Fuck Jungwon you've become my philosophy of life don't distance yourself from me open the door or I'll have to break it down Jay was trying to keep his patience.

Jay got his first glimpse of Jungwon's red eyes and trembling hands and quickly walked over and pulled him into a hug.

"It will pass, whoever made you cry, I will strangle him with my own hands

''Jay will rape...'' Jungwon continued to cry on Jay's chest.

"What? Jay couldn't come to his senses for a few seconds.

"What do you mean, someone's been bothering you since when?

"They've been threatening to kill my brother like this for a few months now, I say I'll pay the money, but they don't understand... they just wrote something like if you can't give me money, spread your legs, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed of myself, Jay hyung."

"Shit, is that why you were crying in the street the other day? Jay hugged him tighter. He inhaled his scent.

"Yes.

''I'll finish them on my hands''

''Those who will trouble you either if they harm you or if they harm others''

''They can't do that, I'll finish them, you don't know me, Jungwon, I have a big hand, it'll be done, okay, calm down now''

Jungwon's breathing became regular again and Jay calmed down at that moment, he was so scared that something had happened to Jungwon that he left the meeting and left without even apologizing.

''Now you go to your room and get your stuff and I'll postpone the meeting and come back, okay Won?''

Jungwon bowed his head.

''Aren't meetings important for the company? If you don't leave it unfinished, keep going and I'll wait for the exit somehow''

''Don't be ridiculous, do you still expect to stay in this state, if I said no, then no, go to your room'' Jay grabbed Jungwon by the arm and dragged him out of the bathroom.

"Fuck, I thought you weren't coming out. Niki pushed Jay away and ran into the restroom.

"I think we've been here too long. Jay looked at Jungwon with a smile.Jungwon smiled back.Jay wanted to take his mind off of it.He didn't want to think about him.He didn't want his mind to be on the bad thing.

When Jungwon went back to his room, he noticed Sunghoon and Sunoo looking flustered.Sunoo jumped up as soon as he saw Jungwon.

"JUNGWON WHERE ARE YOU, I'M FREAKING OUT HERE, DO YOU KNOW? Sunoo grabbed Jungwon's arms and shook him.

''I didn't realize how much time has passed'' Jungwon was keeping his cool.

''Jungwon really take care of yourself, you didn't see the photo on your phone, that's why we were worried that he did something to you'' Sunghoon pointed at the phone.

''What did you see?'' Jungwon moved to his phone curiously.

Sunghoon and Sunoo were cautiously standing behind Jungwon, waiting for his reaction.When Jungwon entered the conversation, he saw a bloody knife and his blood rushed to his head again.

''Jungwon who is this?'' Sunghoon asked as if to calm him down.

''This...this is...this is a thief rapist who is obsessed only with money, the messages he writes to me are so disgusting, how can I get rid of him?'' Jungwon looked like he was going to cry again.

''Jungwon Jay came with you, right?'' Sunoo asked in an attempt to change the subject.

''He came to the room and helped me calm down, without him I might still be crying'' Jungwon was talking as he put his things in his bag on his desk.

''I'm sure Jay will do something for you, can't you see he's working hard for you, and don't think Jay is innocent, he's had people arrested and beaten to death in his time, don't look at him as a simple company employee, there's a dark side to it'' Sunghoon was turning around in his seat.

''But if they do something to him, he'll hurt himself and I'll never forgive myself if they do something to him, I feel like I'm using him and I can't do anything for him''

''You don't need to do anything, your presence is enough Jungwon'' Jay was leaning against the door waiting for Jungwon.

''Did you hear everything? Jungwon felt a wave of embarrassment he couldn't count.

''Come on, we'll run away. Good luck.'' Jay told the other two in the room. He grabbed Jungwon's arm and led him out of the room.

''No matter what happens, your mindset will never change, Won't it? He and Jay were walking down the stairs.

''It's not going to change, I never feel enough for you and it's the same for the others, every day I cause you a new trouble and you have to deal with me''

"Jungwon, get a hold of yourself. We're a family, remember?

Jungwon didn't object any more, maybe Jay could get him out of this situation without anyone getting hurt.Jungwon was ready to sacrifice himself so that nothing would happen to Jay.Of course, no one would know about it.

***
When they got back to the dormitory, Jungwon went into his own room. A few days ago he had packed up his belongings and moved here completely; now he was living with the others.

"What do you want to do?" Jay and Jungwon were sitting in the common room of the dormitory.

"Let's look in your room, I'm curious. You seem to have some strange collections."

"What kind of fucking request is that?"

"Don't question it, I think the theme of the room is interesting."

"Fine, if you want, can't we go for a ride?"

Jay and Jungwon made their way to Jay's dark but tidy room.

When they reached Jay's room, Jungwon stood in the doorway and peered inside. The room was indeed as depressing as he had expected. Dim light, dark walls and shelves lined with various figures, books and old-looking items.

"Wow, this place is so you," Jungwon murmured, walking over to a shelf. "This is all yours?"

Jay sat on his bed and smiled slightly. "Yeah. Especially my collection on that top shelf is the most valuable."

Jungwon curiously reached out his hand and picked one up. "What are these?"

"Each of the wines sold in the places I visit has a different meaning for me, would you like to try it?

''Seriously, of course I do. While Jay was pouring the wine into a glass for Jungwon to try, Jungwon was looking at the items on the other shelves.

"You must have cassettes and listen to them often.

''Of course I get tired after working, listening to songs like this is good for me'' Jay handed Jungwon the glass.

Jungwon took the glass Jay handed him and sniffed it lightly. He smiled slightly as the distinctive aroma of the wine filled his nose. "Where did you buy this?"
Jay pulled a bottle from the shelf and looked at the label. "Italy. When I was there, I came across a small shop in an alley, an old woman was selling it, and according to her, it was from a special harvest."
Jungwon raised the glass to his lips and took a sip. The taste was more intense than he expected. He squinted slightly. "It has a mild but expressive flavor."

Jay smiled. "You've got good taste."

As Jungwon put the glass on the table, his eyes fell on the tapes again. "What kind of tapes do you have?"

Jay pulled a cassette from the shelf and turned it over in his hand. "Mostly classic rock, but sometimes jazz. It's especially nice to listen to at night."

Jungwon shook his head and glanced at the tapes. "Play one."

Jay opened an old cassette player and inserted a cassette tape. After a slight rustle, a nostalgic melody filled the room. The music, combined with the dim light, gave it a completely different atmosphere.

Jungwon turned his eyes to Jay, soaking up the atmosphere in the room. "This place has a really different energy."

Jay shrugged and smiled slightly. "Every person has their own world. This is my world."

Jungwon smiled, turning the glass in his hand. "It's a beautiful world."

Jungwon took another sip of wine from his glass and let his eyes wander around Jay's room. He felt a slight warmth as the red liquid slid down his throat. "You know, this place feels really cozy. Like you're disconnected from the outside world."

Jay smiled slightly, keeping his eyes on Jungwon. "I wanted it that way, it's even better for you. This place is my escape. From people, from responsibilities, sometimes even from myself."

Jungwon noticed the slightly sad tone in Jay's voice. He lowered his head as he put the glass down on the table. "Why would you want to run away from yourself? You seem to like working from a distance."

Jay sighed lightly after a short silence. "Sometimes... everything is too much. People, expectations... I think I need to be strong, but sometimes I get really tired."

Jungwon raised his head and looked at Jay's face. He'd always seemed cool and collected and knew what he was doing, but now he was different. More... fragile... He had officially opened himself up to Jungwon.

Jay tried to smile slightly, but there was something hidden in his expression. "Too much wine or what?" he muttered.

Jungwon smiled slightly. "No, I think you just became a little more honest."

Jay paused for a moment and then turned his eyes to Jungwon. "I feel more comfortable talking to you, I don't normally say things like that to anyone."

Jungwon's heart skipped a beat, but he shrugged nonchalantly. "I should feel special then."

Jay laughed lightly. "Maybe you are." As Jungwon tried to decipher the meaning of his words, Jay put the glass down on the bedside table and stared at him.

"Sometimes you hold things inside for too long and you have to share them with the right person at the right time, right?"

Jungwon nodded slightly. He was excited. "I think so."

Jay paused for a moment, then continued slowly. "And sometimes... he doesn't know how to hide some feelings.

Jungwon saw a different look in Jay's eyes and held his breath. The deep look in Jay's eyes was foreign to him. He never thought they would talk to him like this.

Jay parted his lips to speak, but just then there was a sudden knock on the door. Then a cheerful voice was heard.

"Jay! Open the door, we're here!"

Jungwon turned to the door, startled. Jay squinted his eyes and laughed slightly, shaking his head from side to side. "Right now, really?" he muttered.

There was another knock on the door, harder this time. "Jay, my son! Open the door, we've got our hands full!" Sunghoon shouted. Although there was quite a distance between Jay's room and the outer door, Sunghoon's voice could be heard clearly.

Jay took a deep breath and took his eyes off Jungwon. "I think they're going to break the door down," he said.

Jungwon shook his head, feeling something strange inside him. Whatever Jay was about to say a few seconds ago seemed to be stuck in his mind now.

Jay slowly made his way to the door and when he opened it, he was greeted by the happy faces of Niki, Sunoo, Heeseung and Sunghoon, while Jake was fighting with the bags.

"Is there a party or not?" Niki asked, holding up the snack bags.

Jake shifted his eyes to Jay's room and looked in. "Are you guys having a drinking party without us knowing about it?"

Jungwon cleared his throat slightly and Jay laughed lightly. "I was checking Jungwon out some wine from my collection. You could say that."

Sunoo narrowed his eyes. "Was there something going on between you two or what's the tension?"

Jay looked at Jungwon for a brief moment, then grinned and patted Sunoo on the head. "Don't be silly. Let's make dinner.

Jungwon let out his breath quietly, wondering what Jay was going to say, but that seemed to be the end of it for now. But he had a feeling... Jay was about to say something really important. And sooner or later the subject would come up again.

Heeseung walked up to Jungwon, put his arm around his shoulder and leaned in close to his ear.

''Jay doesn't let anyone inspect those wines, they're all very special to him, you're lucky'' He retreated, leaving questions in Jungwon's mind.

After jotting down what Heeseung had said in the back of his brain to think about and analyze later, he moved on to the household who were in their own way.Jay was in the kitchen looking up recipes on the internet for something he was going to make tonight.Jay was always very attentive to the food.Without Jay, the members might even go hungry.

Sunghoon went up to his room, Niki and Sunoo were watching something on the phone, Heeseung went over to Jay and chatted with him while he was taking things out and putting them away.

Jake was sitting on the couch in the living room watching the carpet after putting down the bags in his hand. Jungwon realized something was wrong and sat next to Jake.

''Jake hyung are you okay, you're sluggish.'' Jungwon asked, trying to look at his face.

''I'm fine, it was a bit tiring today'' Jungwon, of course, didn't believe it.

''I didn't believe it'' He grabbed Jake's arm and pulled him up from where they were sitting and dragged him by the arm to the nearest room, Jay's room. He opened and closed the door quietly.

''Tell me, hyung, the reason you're in a bad mood is not because you're tired, at least I can see that''

"Jungwon is a simple thing, not worth the trouble.

"If he upset you, it's no big deal. We're family, remember? Jake sighed and sat down on Jay's bed, Jungwon took his place next to him.

''Sunghoon and I had a bit of a row'' Jake started to play with his hands.

''Why?'' Jungwon didn't expect it, he had just found out that they exchanged gifts the other day.

''There's a girl he met, she likes Sunghoon. Sunghoon neither rejects her nor accepts her, and she has another lover besides Sunghoon, they seem to be dating, I don't know, I saw her on the road the other day. She hugged another guy, kissed him on the lips and they said goodbye. The next day when they met Sunghoon, she acted embarrassed and shy, she even said that she liked his words when they talked. I told Sunghoon what this girl did, but he said she wouldn't do such a thing, and she snapped at me.''

''Sunghoon hyung is an idiot, he's known you longer than you've known him, how can he not trust you?''

"That's what I don't understand. I've warned him so many times, he doesn't listen to me.

"I want to see that girl too, hyung, I'm curious.

"They'll meet again, I'll show you.

"Don't let it get you down, let me do the talking.

"It won't have any effect, he'll get mad at you too.  Jake lay down on Jay's bed.

"Don't say that, maybe he has another purpose.

"I don't think so.

As Jake and Jungwon continued to talk, Jay's voice was heard calling from inside, "dinner is ready".

"I won't eat, Jungwon, you go. Jungwon pouted

"I won't eat if you don't eat, hyung. We can go out and eat if you don't want to see him. Jake was touched by Jungwon's thoughtfulness. He got up from where he was lying and hugged him.

''Jungwon, I'm glad you're here. I'd really be gutted if I didn't tell someone.''

"What do you mean, hyung? I'm here for these days

''Let's go without worrying the others, let's even go out after dinner under the pretext that we have something to do, I have a plan to tell you.'' Jungwon grinned. Jake breathed a sigh of relief, glad he had told Jungwon.

***

Dinner was quiet and Sunghoon acted as if nothing had happened. After Jungwon's words of support, Jake ate his dinner without getting upset.

"Thank you, Jay hyung. Jungwon got up from the table and took his own dishes to the counter.

''Who will wash the dishes?'' Heeseung asked as he leaned back in his chair.

''I won't wash them, I did the cooking and you can take care of the rest.''

"Let's play rock paper scissors Niki said it with a feeling that she was going to win.

"Jake hyung and I can't wash, we have a little business outside. Jake nodded in agreement.

"What was he doing without us knowing? Jay raised one eyebrow and asked Jungwon.

''Nothing hyung, let's go. Jungwon grabbed Jake's arm and dragged him to the outer door.

"Jungwon, don't forget your phone As Sunoo was sitting at the table, she showed him the phone in her hand.

''Oh, I forgot,'' she ran and took her phone from Sunoo and they quickly left the house.

"What the hell are they going to do? Jay said to himself as he got up from the table

''Sunghoon, I'm surprised I haven't heard from you, you two usually go out somewhere?'' Heeseung asked this question as if he wanted to stir things up.

"No, I don't care. Sunghoon got up from the table and stepped into his room.

"Fuck off to Sunghoon, huh? Come and tidy this place up. Jay stormed off, and Sunghoon turned back, sighing and grumbling.

***

Jungwon and Jake were going to a cheap coffee shop after leaving the house.

''Jake hyung let me tell you my plan, the moment we see other guys with this girl we're going to take a picture of her, not you but me, because she knows you, and we can use one of those little voice recorders to listen to her talking and stuff, even though it's illegal, we have to prove to Sunghoon hyung that what he did was wrong.''

Jake's jaw was hanging open. When did Jungwon come up with such an elaborate plan?

''If we were a gang for sure, you would be our leader Jungwon.'' Jake said with a laugh.

''Hyung is for your own good though.''

''It's a good plan, but if the girl notices us doing it, for example, how will we place the voice recorder on her?''

''Take her out on a date, hyung, call her over, she'll probably have a bag or something, we'll throw it in there or something. If not, I'll come and pretend to meet her, I'll throw it in her pocket or something.''

"I'm getting scared of you, Jungwon.

''That's my job'' they both burst into laughter as the coffees they had ordered arrived.

''Jungwon, I thought you didn't like coffee.'' Jungwon raised his eyebrows and made a surprised face.

"How do you know?

"Jay told me a long time ago.

"Was he telling you about me? Jungwon thought about the time they spent in Jay's room and wondered what he meant that day.

''Of course he was telling me about you when you started working in our company, we knew you a little bit from what he told us.''

"I didn't know. Jungwon's embarrassment was evident in his rosy cheeks, and Jake laughed, patting him on the shoulder.

"There you have it," he winked.

''Hyung, I don't know, I'm confused too, maybe I'm misunderstanding everything.''

"I'm sure you're not misunderstanding anything, give each other time and I'm sure you'll find the right path.

Jake and Jungwon left the cafe to wander around a bit more, not knowing, of course, that the people who threatened Jungwon were watching them.

 ***

Jake and Jungwon still hadn't come home, Jay consoled himself by saying that his work was taking too long, they would call if something happened, and he lay on his bed thinking about the new guitar he was going to buy.

Sunghoon, on the other hand, preferred to stay in his room and have some time to himself, but what happened today confused him.Jake normally liked the people around Sunghoon and would talk to them and even be friends with them, but he didn't understand his prejudice against this girl.Sunghoon hadn't seen anything bad about her.Jake thought maybe he was making it up because he was jealous.But why would he be jealous, he normally liked to be friends with everyone.What if he liked her and was trying to stop her from getting close to me?

Should he tell Jay or Heeseung, maybe Jake had told them something and they knew something, especially since Jake was close to Jungwon today and Jungwon might have told Jay something, Sunghoon thought.

He got up from his seat and went to Jay's room.Jay's room was downstairs so he had to go down the stairs.As he stood in front of Jay's door, the door to Jay's room opened.

''Sunghoon?'' Jay was holding a water glass in his hand. He was probably going to get some water.

''Jay, there's something I need to ask you that's been bothering me'' he ran his hand through his hair and ruffled it nervously.

''Something serious must have happened. Normally you wouldn't say anything if they beat you up. I'm going to get some water in my room. Shall I get some for you?''

Sungoon nodded, and after Jay went back and forth, Sunghoon downed the glass in his hand and finished it quickly, setting it on the table to the side.

"So tell me. Jay put his phone on speaker phone and put it on the table so they could hear it if anything happened.

''Jake and I argued, but I don't understand why we argued.'' Sunghoon frowned.

"Why what did you say to the child again? Jay grinned.

''Either it's not me or I don't know what's wrong with me.'' He put his head in his hands.

"Okay, tell me, I'm listening.

"There's a girl who keeps coming up to me, she has long hair, do you remember her?

''I think I remember, the lickspittle girl who stuck to you like snot?'' Sunghoon let out another sigh.

"Don't say that. Jake told me that the girl was not trustworthy and that she met someone else after me and that they were even in contact, but I think he said that because he was jealous. Jay was giving Sunghoon the "are you stupid" look.

''Sunghoon, sometimes I can't help but say you're an idiot. Sunghoon, are you an idiot?''

''What's the matter, Jake's jealous, I think I shouldn't buy him a present because it'll stop us talking.''

''If Jake wants a present, don't you think I can buy it for him or someone else, he has his own money, he can buy it for himself, does he need you?'' Sunghoon shrugged his shoulders. Jay spoke again.

"Let's study her behavior for a while and then you'll know, maybe even stalk her or something, Jake doesn't lie about these things, you know he likes to talk to people, he doesn't hate someone for no reason.

Sunghoon and Jay were still talking when Jay's phone started beeping loudly.Sunghoon and Jay both jumped out of their seats.The sound was short but very high decibel.Jay immediately grabbed his phone.The notification was sent from Jungwon's phone and there was an audio recording.

"What the fuck? Jay immediately got up and started listening to the audio recording.

"Jay, fuck, come here, get the cops, they're pinned down. Let Jungwon go, motherfuckers!" there was shouting coming from the back, Jungwon shaking and screaming, but it was Jake's voice. Probably took Jungwon's phone.

"HEESEUNG HYUNG JUNGWON AND JAKE ARE IN TROUBLE CALL THE FUCKING POLICE Sunghoon was so confused.

***

Jake and Jungwon had decided to go home.They were walking slowly, both because they were chatting and because they were tired from the day.It was good for Jake to go out.He was smiling now.He had a lot of solutions to settle things with Sunghoon.He made a mental note to talk to Sunghoon when he got home.

Some of the roads on the way home were deserted and narrow. Since Jay was a famous company owner, they had chosen to live in a somewhat isolated area so that their house would not be raided, which was not good for those who went out late at night.

"Jake hyung, it's so tense around here. Should we speed up? As Jake nodded.Jungwon was hit in the head with a hard object.Jungwon found himself on the ground.Jake immediately turned around and saw 2 men with sticks and sharp objects.He quickly grabbed Jungwon by the arm, lifted him up and took him behind him.

''Jungwon, you still haven't paid us or do you want your brother to die? We've already given you plenty of time, let's start with you first. If your friend doesn't back down, he will be a beautiful work of art.'' Jungwon was already trembling with fear and Jake noticed it.

"If you lay a hand on Jungwon, you're dead!" Jake shouted for the whole street to hear.

''Hmm, a formidable opponent, huh?'' The man raised his stick and pointed it at them.

"I'll come to you after I finish Jungwon, bitch.

Jake realized that they couldn't just get out of here, Jay Sunghoon Heeseung or someone had to come to the rescue. Jake reached into Jungwon's pocket and tried to grab the phone he felt in there, but the man was already on top of them.

Jake pushed Jungwon back.

''JUNGWON DEFEND YOURSELF NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE AFRAID!'' Jake was talking as loud as he could so that someone passing by on the street would see him and call for help, but coincidentally no one was passing by on the street.

The man first pushed Jake away and tried to walk to Jungwon, but Jake grabbed his arm and threw him back, kicking him in the face with the pointy side of his shoe.

"GIVE ME YOUR PHONE, JUNGWON, FUCK YOU! As Jake was walking to Jungwon, the other guy pounced on Jake. Jake was out of breath, but it didn't matter.

"Let's get rid of you first and we'll take care of Jungwon anyway. Jungwon felt like Jake was in all the trouble. No, it was Jungwon's turn to make a noise.

Jungwon felt the anger in his veins. He grabbed the man who punched Jake by the back and turned him towards him and Jungwon punched him back. When Jungwon got the attention, Jake pressed a random number on the top of the phone he took and at the last moment he saw that it was registered as Jay hyung.

'' ''Jay, fuck you, come here and get the cops, they're pinned down. Let Jungwon go, motherfuckers!

As soon as I hung up the phone, Jake tried to fend off Jungwon's attackers. Jungwon's knees were bleeding from being thrown to the ground.

''EITHER YOU GIVE ME THE MONEY OR YOU JUNGWON YOURSELF'' the man continued to shout, while Jake took advantage of the moment and grabbed the stick in his hand.

"Fuck you now. Jake grinned, a gleam of fear in the man's eye.

"We have tools other than sticks, you know, cutters," Jake gritted his teeth as the second man winked at him.

When the guy lunged at Jake again, Jake hit him with the bat this time, and he fell to the ground, and Jake thought, "I hit him pretty hard.

Jungwon's legs were shaking from the pain in his knees, but he could stand. He was trying to overcome the other man. The man took a pocketknife out of his pocket.

Jungwon pushed him back so that Jake wouldn't get hurt. He was holding Adam's arm so Jungwon wouldn't stab him with the knife.

"JUNGWON ARE YOU STUPID YOU'RE GONNA GET HURT! Jake yelled angrily.

When the other man on the ground got up, Jungwon spotted him and brought the two men closer and put his arm around the other man and stabbed him in the stomach with the penknife.Both men were so shocked they couldn't move.Jake took advantage of the gap and hit them both with the stick he had in his hand.The man who was hit with the penknife fell to the ground while the other one was very angry.

Jungwon was saying all the prayers he knew how to say and Jake had Jungwon behind him again to protect him.

Jake was expecting to get hurt, but he didn't. Sunghoon was holding his arm. Sunghoon was here. They were here. Jake took a deep breath and felt Jungwon behind him fall to the ground.

Sunghoon, Jay, Heeseung, Sunoo, Niki were all here, and they came with the cops. Sunghoon beat up the guy with the pocket knife, and the cops got between them so he wouldn't kill him anymore.

They put the injured man in the police car to take him to the hospital and handcuffed the other man.

When they arrived, Sunoo quickly went to Jungwon who was on the ground. Jungwon's knees and hands were shaking. Sunoo hugged him as if to let him know he was there for him.

Jay was so angry, after what happened the other day, Jay had beaten them up, but they hadn't gotten wise. He was relieved when Sunghoon beat them up. When he saw Jungwon and Sunoo sitting on the floor, he ran over there.

"Jungwon, are you okay? Jay immediately fell to his knees. Jungwon tried to nod in agreement.

Jay picked up Jungwon, who was sitting on the floor, to take him to the car.

Heeseung Niki was gathered around Jake, and Sunoo joined him later.

"I was so scared that something would happen to Jungwon. Jake put his head in his hands. Sunghoon didn't want to watch from a distance. He gathered his courage and walked over. He and Jake exchanged a brief glance, but Jake averted his eyes.

"I wish we could have gotten here sooner, look at you. Niki pointed a finger at Jake's busted lip.

''It's okay, we managed to overcome it, thank God'' Jake turned to Sunghoon.

''Thank you, I really couldn't defend myself at the last moment.'' Sunghoon nodded.

"I'm here for these moments, Jake. Jake smiled.

Sunghoon was staring at Jake's lip, sneaking glances. Sunoo understood, but he couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's all get in the car, today has been very action-packed and we have two citizens to treat at home. Everyone was already in the car with Heeseung leading the way.

After everyone had driven home, Jay took Jungwon up to their room to talk and to dress his wound.

"Jungwon, I'm sorry, we should have come earlier. Jay put Jungwon on the bed and stretched out his knees, Jungwon was now staring at the ceiling.

''Are you stupid, how could you have known what we were going through, stop blaming yourself'' Jungwon spoke angrily.

Jay quietly wrapped his arms around Jungwon's knee. Neither of them spoke. When he was done, he left the room without speaking.

Jungwon was thinking to himself that he wished he hadn't spoken harshly when Jay came back into the room with a glass of water and a painkiller.

"Just in case your knee hurts or something. Jungwon sighed deeply.

"You scared me Jay put the glass and the medicine on the table and lay down next to Jungwon.

"Why? Jay put his head on Jungwon's neck and breathed in his scent.

"You didn't speak, you left suddenly, I was scared. Jungwon started playing with Jay's hair.

"Your hair is so beautiful and soft Jungwon spoke as he stirred more with his hands.

''I was thinking about cutting it, should I cut it'' Jungwon's eye opened in shock

"NO, CALM Jay laughed.

"If you'd told me you loved me that much, I would have made it longer.

Jay and Jungwon fell asleep while complimenting each other.
