His father finally agreed to let him stay at the apartment.

Despite his sternness, Taehyun managed to persuade that Black Lion’s gang leader, as he was concerned of others’ safety.

The Red Scorpion gang leader would possibly hurt anyone who is close to him, and that included Jinwoo and Seungyoon too.

Thus, he came to the conclusion of not going to tell them the truth – about him being a gang leader’s son that was on the run from the other gang members.

As he glanced at the clock on his bedside table, he sighed.

4.30 a.m.

Since that day, Taehyun was having trouble to sleep, as he was thinking a lot.

About Seungyoon.

Since yesterday, he didn’t manage to meet him as it was the weekend and he was on leave.

Unconsciously, his fingers went to his lips.

It was unplanned, and it happened in the blink of an eye.

Taehyun could still remember the moment when both of them locked their lips together.

It was his first kiss, and so did for Seungyoon.

Damn.

Am I falling for a boy?

Right after that incident, Seungyoon dashed out from the café and left him alone on that night.

Taehyun wanted to give him a call but cancelled his plan as he was afraid if Seungyoon wasn’t in the mood to talk about it.

Plus, he had stolen Seungyoon’s first kiss.

He might be mad and furious for what I’ve done.

But, wait a minute.

Didn’t he lean in for that kiss too?

“Arggh! I don’t know what to do anymore.”

He tried to get back to sleep but to no avail.

No matter how many times he changed his sleeping position, his mind still lingered around the incident that happened on that rainy night.

Taehyun, you pabo!

Then, a message came in.

Hi. Can we talk?

And to his surprise, it was from Seungyoon.

Sh*t.

What am I gonna do?

Should I reply to him or not?

Think, Taehyun, think!

Taehyun was about to pick up his phone when a second message came in.

Can you come down?

What…

Taehyun then walked towards the window and looked down, only to find Seungyoon was standing beside his car, looking up at his direction.

Gulp.

He was here for real?

Heol.

“What’s up?”

Taehyun braved to speak first while avoiding eye contact with the boy beside him.

He could see Seungyoon was not the same like before, he seemed quiet and restless.

“Fine. And you?”

After a moment of silence, Seungyoon spoke up.

Then, Taehyun gathered his courage to look to the left, when he made direct eye contact with Seungyoon.

Damn it.

I didn’t know he will look to this side too.

Both of them lost in each other’s eyes as if they were speaking through their eyes and mind.

Suddenly, Seungyoon’s phone rang, but he didn’t even flinch or seemed disturbed.

“You’re not going to pick it up?”

Taehyun asked while looking to the other side.

He lost to Seungyoon’s deep gaze.

“Nope. It was no one.”

Seungyoon then leaned backwards, while looking up to the sky.

“The stars are so pretty tonight, aren’t they?”

Taehyun was taken aback with that sudden, unrelated question.

He looked up and nodded unconsciously.

“Nae. Neomu yeppeo.”

At that moment, he didn’t realize that Seungyoon was staring at him, smiling.

“Taehyun-ah, can I ask you something?”

Seungyoon paused for a while before continued.

“But, promise me that you’ll not get mad. Arasso?”

Taehyun who was still admiring the stars just nodded.

“Nae, arasso.”

“Do you like me?”

That’s it.

It was the moment when Taehyun felt like his heart stopped beating, and so did the time.

He felt like he was pulled into space where there was no gravity or time.

So, Taehyun. What is your answer?

Come on, Taehyun. Be a man and answer yes!

Are you sure about your feelings? Did you really like him?

Taehyun! Taehyun!

“Kang Taehyun sshi!”

Taehyun was startled with that scream that made him back to reality.

“Yes.”

Holy sh*t.

What did I do?

What did I just say?

Oh. My. God.
