Say -SIDE STORY II [EUNKANG]

 “We’ll come back and get you after a week, alright? Behave and be good.”

“Yes, daddy!”  The twins answered in chorus as Sunghoon opened the car’s door for them. Jiwon went to the trunk to get the twins’ things.

“Hello, grandma! Hello, grandpa!” they heard the twins say as Sunghoon helped Jiwon on getting the twins’ bags. Jiwon bringing Seunghoon’s things while Sunghoon bringing Seungyoon’s. They went inside the two-storey house and was greeted by Jiwon’s parents at the gate.

“Good morning, mom, dad.” Jiwon greeted.

“Good morning uncle, auntie.” Sunghoon greeted, smiling.

Both smile at them and greeted them in return. Jiwon’s mom even asked Sunghoon how he has been. It has been four months since they last seen each other. As of now, both parents are aware of their relationship and approved of Sunghoon. At first they didn’t understand how their son chose someone like Sunghoon but when they saw how much Sunghoon loves and adores the kids and how much the kids adore Sunghoon, and how much they look like a family, one thing that they did not see when Jiwon was married, they started to understand. Five more frequent visits and Sunghoon has wormed his way inside the heart of Jiwon’s parents. They even ask how and where Sunghoon is when the younger is not around. Jiwon only sighs at that. He is grateful, to be honest, very much grateful to his parents for accepting his relationship with Sunghoon.

“I’m good, auntie!” Sunghoon beamed but then worry is evident on his face and voice as he said “But is it really alright for us to leave the kids here for a week? I mean, I can always tell them I can’t come to my gigs and—”

“It’s alright. They are still on vacation and we have missed them so much, it’s been so long since they were left here by Jiwon. You worry too much. We can manage, Sunghoonie.” Jiwon’s mom told Sunghoon.

Sunghoon sighed, worries ebbing. “I told you they can manage. I always leave the children to them back then too. One week is alright with them.” Jiwon muttered, slinging an arm around Sunghoon’s shoulder.

“Alright, alright.” Sunghoon mumbled, a smile back on his face.

“Take it as a gift from us, you can now have your free time with Jiwon.” Jiwon’s father jokingly added. Sunghoon laughed at that. And the three Euns smiled seeing that laugh. They are all smitten with Sunghoon.

“Seunghoon, Seungyoon, say goodbye to your dad and Uncle Sunghoon!” Grandma Eun shouted. They heard shuffling of feet and the twins head popped out from the door. They smiled as they went near them, giving them their hugs, they bid their goodbyes.

 

***

Sunghoon tumbled down to the sofa and closed his eyes. He was tired. He went to his apartment as soon as Jiwon brought him back to their apartment building. “Take care on your way to work.” He had said to Jiwon as he bid him goodbye and a kiss on the lips.

Sunghoon didn’t know what to do to kill time. He was about to enter the Eun apartment when he remembered he can kill the time on making music. Without the kids to worry about, he went back to his usual routine. That’s what he thought. But as soon as he entered his apartment, he felt exhausted.

“I just need to sleep for a while.”

Yet instead of sleeping, Sunghoon thought of Jiwon and his relationship with him. It has been two years. And still they are going strong. Sunghoon remembered that time when they fought, it brought a smile to his face. Now he knows how the older knows where he was at that time. It is because of Lee Jaijin, his close friend. He didn’t know Jaijin knows Jiwon and he didn’t know his friend has been listening to his ramblings that day. He might have sounded so pathetic that Jaijin tried to make him feel better, typical Jaijin.

He clearly remembered what happened afterwards and because of it and Jiwon’s courage to confess, he is a happy man. Still, he is afraid that they will disappear one day, the kids and Jiwon. Shaking his head, he cleared his negative thoughts away and sleeps.

 He was awoken when something soft and wet was pressed on his cheeks. He opened his eyes and met Jiwon’s smiling face. “Why are you here?” he asked, sitting up “How about work?” he questioned, eyes questioning but there’s a smile on his face.

Jiwon just continue on smiling as he says “So you are here. You didn’t answer my calls. I’m on leave right now. Do you want to go to Japan?” he asked, eyes twinkling as he waved the plane tickets in front of the younger.

“You are kidding!” Sunghoon laughed

“I didn’t tell you because I want it to be a surprised. Do you want to?”

“I would love to” Sunghoon softly said, hand going up to touch Jiwon’s face. “Why all of a sudden though?”

“It’s because the kids are not around.” Jiwon answered, grinning wide. “We can do some actions too while we are alone. In fact, let’s start now.” And Jiwon proceeded on kissing him on the lips. Sunghoon pulled back afterwards making Jiwon playfully pout his lips.

“When are we going to Japan?”

“Tomorrow morning. Dad was not joking when he said we can have some alone time, you know.” Jiwon said, leaning forward to kiss him again. Sunghoon complied, kissing him back.

They kissed passionately, Jiwon kissed him in a way that he doesn’t want to stop and Sunghoon answered him back more fiercely. Sunghoon’s hand entangled on Jiwon’s head, keeping him close while Jiwon’s are on Sunghoon’s waist, not wanting to let go. Jiwon slowly laid him down on the sofa, assisting his head with his left hand as he did so.

They broke the kiss to catch some breath, and Sunghoon questioned Jiwon “Are we really doing it here? Or should we go to bed while both of us still can move freely.”

“Who said I can’t keep my hands on touching you? You can’t move freely now.” Jiwon mumbled, hands rubbing up and down Sunghoon’s body, making a point as he leaned down to suck on his neck.

Sunghoon moaned, “Hyung. Let’s go to bed, now.”

“Alright” Jiwon answered but still continued on sucking on his neck.

The doorbell was heard and Jiwon groaned. “Ignore it.” Sunghoon said hands going up from his arms to his nape. But the sound continued and then someone is knocking on the door, more like fist bumping on the door. Grumbling, Jiwon stood up and was ready to kill whoever is on the door. He swings the door open only to reveal a Jaejin who has his fist up on a knocking position.

“What are you doing here!?” Jiwon asked, he couldn’t hide his irritation

“Oh. Oh.” Jaijin stares at Jiwon’s face, questioning but then nodded in understanding. “Tell Sunghoon he can have his week off. And he was not answering my calls so I came here. Guess he is busy. Tell him I’ll come by next week and play.” He calmly said, but a smirk was present on his lips. “So, I’m going now. Enjoy.” He added as he turned his back to walk to the direction of the elevator. Jaijin was actually about to tell Sunghoon more but seeing Jiwon and his expression, he just thought they can just have a chat next week, when he is back on work already. And speaking of work, he is going back to work tomorrow. It is not always that he would ask for a leave but he just want to relax for a while so he did. He sighed, life of an adult. Seeing Jiwon’s irritated face just made his day. He laughed as he entered the elevator.

“Is that Jaijin hyung?” Sunghoon asked, now sitting up on the sofa.

“Yes.” He said, still grumbling. And he relayed Jaejin’s message to Sunghoon still irritation present on his face. Seeing this, Sunghoon laugh as he leaned in for a kiss, catching Jiwon off guard.

“Feeling better?” he asked seeing  a smile lighting up Jiwon’s face.

“No, not yet. More please.” Jiwon answered and he complied.

They make love that day. And as always, Jiwon proclaimed his love and promised never to leave Sunghoon as he reached his climax, Sunghoon muttering the same.
