Author's POV
...
"H-Haechan..." You stuttered, feeling ashamed for yourself. You're just being caught by your fiance with his sister's fiance. He's looking at the two of you, eyes momentarily on your intertwined hands then back to your faces. His face only held a blank expression and the sight of it only made your guilt worst. "Haechan, I can explain..."
"No need. I've heard enough." He says, it's pretty clear that he heard it all and you hung your head low in shame.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine."
Your head snapped back to him. He wasn't wearing blank face anymore. He's giving you a small understanding smile instead of a glare. It's fine with him? Did you just heard that right? You looked at him with pure confusion written on your face and mouth agape. You're expecting him to get mad at you for doing this to him but the man in front you looked unbothered.
His eyes goes to Sunghoon, "Noona, was looking for you. She's at the entrance right now, she might see you. Go to the fire exit instead." Instead of stopping the both of you from trying to escape, he's helping you.
"I'm sorry." Sunghoon apologized at Haechan. He has to, Haechan supposed to marry you and he's going to marry his sister. But here he is, taking his fiancee away.
Haechan was silent for a moment, his eyes goes back to you, adoration was still there."Just take care of her and I'll be fine." He says, eyes still on you. That words was for Sunghoon. "We can talk about this at some other time." And that's for you and you couldn't help not to cry. You reached out for him, pulling him in hug which he didn't refuse. He hugs you back instead. Still the same tightness and warm.
God, this man is an angel.
Pulling away, "Thank you. You deserve better." You looked in his eyes as you tell him before giving him one last kiss on his cheek. A thank you kiss and since you have your back turn at Sunghoon, you failed to catch how the way he looked away out of jealousy and trying to calm himself down as he tries to respect your conversation with your fiance which caused Haechan to bit back a smirk. How Sunghoon reacted just proved how loves you and respect you as best as he could.
"If it's for your happiness, then screw my feelings. I want you to be happy, Yuna." He wiped your tears away.
"I'll see you again, Haechan." You tell him before you and Sunghoon went on your way out of the building through the fire exit as Jimin have suggested.
Sunghoon hailed a cab as soon as you came out.
"Hoon, where are we going?" You asked cluelessly as you two get inside.
"Anywhere but here."
"A-are we really doing this?" You stuttered. You can't lie, this felt hella nerve-wracking. You didn't expect yourself to do this tonight and you uneasy face didn't go unnoticed to him.
"Yuna." he held both of your hands, getting your attention. "do you trust me?" He asks and you nodded right away. Of course you trust him. He shakes his head. "I won't force you to come with me. It's your choice." He's right, it's your choice if you want to go with him or not. It's still not late to back away.
Haechan is such a great guy, he could take a good care of you if you'll choose to marry him. But as what you've said to him earlier 'You deserve better.' he deserves better. He's too great for you and he deserves a girl who's better than you.
You decided. You're not going to back away. "I'll go with you."
(20 minutes later.)
"What the hell?" Brandon mumbled as he stare at the two of you there standing right now in front of his door. Especially you who knocked him out that night. He could still remember it.
"Nice to see you too, Brandon." Sunghoon great in a sarcastic way, frowning when he noticed Brandon's eyes set on somewhere else. He follows it and when he did, he mentally facepalm himself. You two are seem having a glare contest like cats. This two. He internally sigh before nudging you with his arm to snap you out of it and you did. Looking away as you just realized yourself doing that.
"What's your reason for coming here?" Brandon asked, trying his best to sound kind. They're still not in good terms, but he knows Sunghoon would always come here only for important purposes.
"Hand over the key." Namjoon says and this made him frown. He may still be mad at him but his concern as a friend was still there. It's been years since Sunghoon have last mentioned about the key.
"But you said you'll never going to use it--"
"I changed my mind. Now hand it over." Sunghoon cut him off. Okay, fine. He's in a rush. He get it.
"Geez. I'm just curious." He rolled his eyes away as he turned around to get it. "Look, I don't know why you're doing this but...please take care of yourselves." He says the moment he came back with the key. Surprisingly, instead of giving him cold shoulders, Sunghoon gave him a quick bro hug for the first time in a long time that caught him off guard.
"Thank you." Sunghoon pat him on his shoulder before leaving.
...
"Are we really going to ride that?" You asked stupidly as you looked at the yacht in front of you.
"What?" He looked at you.
"Whose yacht is this?"
"Mine." He says, holding your hand as help you to get on it after removing your heals. Ignoring how your eyes went wide at the information you just found out.
"Do you know how to drive?" You hesitantly asked and he laughs at your unsureness. You're nervous, he know.
"Don't underestimate my skills, love." He cockily smirk, wearing off his coat, leaving him on his white button up long sleeve shirt while his eyes stay glued on you. The sight of him doing that under the bright moon looks hot and it's too much for you that you divert your eyes away. "Wear this." He drapes his coat on your shoulder.
"But you'll get cold." You eyed him with worry.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry." He smile as he assured you. "You know what, you can get some sleep while I'm driving." He says, pointing the vacant room inside and you nodded.
"How long does it takes before we could arrive to where we are heading?" You asked, you still don't know where he's going to take you. He still haven't tell you yet.
"It wouldn't take hours. We'll be there in thirty minutes." He says, rolling up his sleep up to his elbow level.
"Okay." You nodded before heading inside to take nap. Wherever he takes you won't be a problem to you as long he's with you.
Sunghoon then start driving the yacht on. Silently reminiscing some old memories. It's been years since he last had ride this. Back then, it was alway with his mother and now for the first time in a long time. It's with the love of his life.
Meanwhile at the party, Haechan came back to the rooftop and there he saw Yeonsa looking so frustrated at the corner while dialing someone's number. She must calling him. He thought. Silently mad. He heard it. She had injected something with Sunghoon and forced him. He wasn't having it. She may be older than him, but he's the guy here. He shouldn't tolerate her doing such thing like that, she could've gone to jail.
He walked towards and grabbed her wrist as he let her face him.
"I suggest you better stop this shit you're doing." He said through his gritted teeth, face twisting into annoyance and disappointment.
She glared at him, "and what do you know, huh? You know nothing about my business--"
"I know what you did to Sunghoon that night. Not to mentioned that I also had found lately that you visit often this guy." He showed a picture to her and she was shocked at it. It was her with the guy whom her father loathed so much. It was the son of their enemy in business. She was secretly meeting him and it's not favorable at their family.
"Haechan, wait..." She tries to think of an excuse but Haechan was already heading towards their parents.
"You've done enough damage, sister and you should be stopped." Haechan stated, leaving his sister there in panic. She know she's done for it.
Back to the Island, "Yuna, wake up. We're here now." He wakes up when you two finally arrive at the place after thirty minutes of driving.
"Where are we?" You asked, opening your eyes slowly while getting up from the comfy bed you slept at. You look outside the window. You both get down from the yacht, walking towards a medium sized fine house.
"At my mother's Island." He says and you looked around the beautiful place. He must have many memories here with her. You thought and you wonder if his mother was still alive or not. You haven't seen a woman with Mr Kim at the event. Divorced? "She used to bring me here often when I was a kid. When she's still alive."he added and that answers your question.
"I'm sorry." You mumbled.
"It's fine. Come, I'll show you our little home." He shrug, smiling anyway. "I always send some people here to maintain the cleanliness and...I could tell they're doing a great job." He comments, seeing the workers did maintain the cleanliness of the place.
"Your father surely know this place, right?" You asked and he shake his head 'no'.
"No. He's not."
"What?"
He leads you to the blue couch, sitting there. "He doesn't know. She wasn't the type of a showy person. Before my father marry her, she'd told me when I was a kid that she already have this. It was given to her by my grandmother and after she died that day, it was given to me. Her secretary have told me secretly that it's the last will of my mother." He explained and your mouth form in an 'o' at it.
"Why are you smiling? Is there something on my face?" You asked when you noticed him smiling at you.
"No, I'm just," he paused, shaking his head before letting out a sigh of relief as he feel contented. "Come here." He pulls you in hug. "I'm just happy you're with me right now." He says as you two cuddle in the couch.
"Me too." You hum, laying your head comfortably on his chest, hearing his steady heartbeat that made your eyes closed.
"I suggest you should cover that one." Your eyes flutter opens at that. Frowning in confusion and when you followed where he's at, a smirk appears in your lips. His eyes was on your exposed leg.
"Why? I don't see anything wrong though." You mumble, pretending like you're not teasing him right now and this made him quirk up an eyebrow at you, amusingly.
"It's tempting." His voice was low, eyes looking through your soul.
"And then?" You lower your voice too.
"Are you testing me? I'm telling you I'll definitely going to fail at this." He threw back his head, chuckling in defeat.
"Oh c'mon, I know you can do better than that." You teased and he eyed you again with a suspecting look. "What?" You blurted out. You know he couldn't do anything stupid to you. You know how calm and patient he could go. You know he won't do anything to you by force.
"You're a minx." He says, eyes scanning your face as he think why you are suddenly teasing him.
"Am I?"
"This is a torture." He deadpan and you just laugh at that.
"Well, this is what you get for making me cry back there. I'm having my revenge." And there you said it. Finally.
"Seriously?" He chuckled in disbelief. You mean it. You're not kidding. Your eyes still slightly puffy from crying back there and it was because of him. It feels heavy.
"Endure it. Pabo." You grin, bringing your knees up more to your upper body to tease him and cursed under his breath.
"I'm just not gonna look at it." He stated, closing his and that didn't stop from teasing him. You dared to run your hands slowly, starting from touching his face, going down a a bit to his lips, to his chin, to his jawline. He muttered your name in warning upon feeling of it. But you didn't just stopped there. You even dared to run your hands from his neck in a feathery touch until it goes down to his prominent abs that was hidden behind the white fabric and he swear his on the edge to kiss you so hard tonight, but he's thinking of his boundary and he doesn't want to rush things with you. "Yah!" He opened his eyes, scolding you but you just giggle.
"What? I didn't do anything."
He narrow his eyes on you.
You really wanted your revenge, huh?
"You know what, I remember something." He starts, already having the victory smirk on his lips. "You like it when someone tickles you." He says and that made you gulp down your onw saliva.
"Oh, shit."
And that's your cue as you immediately stood up from the couch as you run around the place with him chasing you from behind. Your laughs filled the room. He chase you, catching you eventually. You both land back to the couch with him on top of you as he started tickling you right away and your voice and laughs boom around the room.
He only stopped when he noticed that you slowly get weak from laughing. You looked up at him with fondness in your eyes while his are dark and intense that melts your heart totally.
"Marry me, Yuna."
He proposed and you respond him with a deep, slow yet passionate kiss as a 'Yes'.
