Now that Daniel had gotten a good look at Sandeul's face, he finally noticed how cute the other boy was especially now that he was blushing and feeling embarrassed. "You can have it, just take it as a gift."
He looked at the bus stop sign. "Since you're here at a bus stop, do you need a ride? I'll drive you." He was just actually supposed to attend a meeting in about 30 minutes. If he was going to drive this cute stranger somewhere, he would surely be stuck in traffic on his way to the office.
Things like this always seem to happen to him... like one time he was late for work because he just had to bring a child to the clinic because of a scraped knee.
"And don't worry about me being late. Nobody can fire me for being late." Daniel smiled. That was true considering he's the guy who owns a certain jewelry company.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kibum had finished driving Ajoo to school, but he decided to hang out in a cafe near Ajoo's school in case Ajoo might text or call him saying that he forgot something.
He blew on his hot coffee carefully before taking a sip. He looked at his phone again. "Here I am caring and worrying about you and yet, I'm sure you don't give a damn about me except maybe for ." He sighed and drank his coffee, burning his tongue in the process as he forgot to blow on it.
Sandeul jumps in shock when someone suddenly approaches him out of nowhere. His vision is blurry so he wipes his eyes with the back of his hands and looks up to see an extremely good looking man who looks rather foreign offering him a handkerchief. He flushes in embarassment at his pathetic and probably very ugly crying state and sniffs a little before accepting the handkerchief and mumbling a "Thank you". Sandeul gingerly wipes away his tears, telling himself he shouldn't cry anymore because it's really really embarassing in front of a stranger. He can't help sniffing though and when he speaks, his voice is rather hoarse so he has to clear his throat before attempting to speak again.
"T-thank you for t-the handkerchief... I-I'm sorry for m-making it dirty... I'll wash it and return it to you next time. " Sandeul mumbles as he looks down at his feet, feeling more embarassed now. His face is probably as red as a tomato or something. He feels really bad to have made the handkerchief stained with his own tears.
---------------
Seungho sighs as he walks away from the incident he had seen earlier after Sandeul left. He had been in a nearby convenience shop and had actually been surprised to see Sandeul and two of the club's regulars when he exited the shop. Seungho manages to overhear the whole thing from when Sandeul's boy- ex-boyfriend had arrived with the other regular and when Sandeul left, he quickly left the scene. He was extremely pissed and was giving out a rather scary aura but Seungho knew better than to interfere in another person's relationship matters. Especially since he and Sandeul weren't that close although Seungho was pretty fond of the boy. He reminds himself to text Sandeul later to ask him if he was okay. Seungho thought of ways to get petty revenge against those two when he saw them in the club. Maybe he could get one of the bartenders, Yongguk to put some drug in their drinks that would give them stomachaches or something.
Ajoo wished it didn't end that way. He really hated the break up part of the relationship. He also hated the playboy part of himself, but he really can't help it. He's just not easily satisfied with one. He's already expecting karma to hit him back someday.
"Kibum, we should stop whatever we currently have right now. You wouldn't want to end up like Sandeul, would you?"
Kibum thought about it carefully. "I'll stop only if you'll get yourself into another relationship." Deep down, it was wishing that he could be the person that Ajoo would be faithful to. "Anyway, you should hurry up for school. We can talk about this stuff later, and you still have a performance later, so you've got to concentrate on that."
Ajoo nodded. He really liked the fact that Kibum could understand him and give him that he needed. However, he just couldn't love Kibum like he did with Sandeul. He decided to do what Kibum said which was to hurry up and get ready for school.
~*~*~*~*~*
Daniel was on his way to work, driving his black Maserati Quattroporte Sports car. A few meters away from the bus stop, he could see a young male crying. If there were other people on the bus stop, he wouldn't show his concern, but since there was only the crying male there, he decided to park his car in front of the bus stop.
He stepped out of his car and went to the crying male. "Are you okay? Well, that was a silly question, but..." Daniel took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the other male. "...take this."
Sandeul flinches at Kibum's comment about not keeping Ajoo satisfied and tries not to tear up when he laces his fingers with Ajoo. He looks down at his feet, willing himself to not burst out crying or anything, because he should be used to this, right?
He still doesn't look up when Ajoo starts talking bur hears every word. He smiles bitterly at Ajoo's words. They aren't any different from the rest. Sandeul blinks rapidly to will the tears that almost drop away, then he looks up, pasting on a bright smile that's obviously fake from how much his eyes are glistening. He's too tired to be angry.
"So this is the end, I guess. We're breaking up. I mean of course- W-well. Thank you for loving me." Sandeul says and blinks rapidly again, the same smile still plastered on his face. As he continues to speak, his voice cracks a little pathetically. "Thank you for trying. Don't worry, I won't bother you after this even if I see you at the club. I mean, I'm not that childish. Either way... Thank you for being with me even though its ending this way... I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy you. Sorry I wasn't e-enough and didn't give you what you needed. " Sandeul looks down again, inhaling sharply before looking up again, his face rid of any smile and his gaze the coldest anyone would probably ever see from him (and not expect from Sandeul too) and spits out harshly, "Also, thank you for showing me that all of you are the same filthy bastards. Goodbye." Sandeul smiles patronisingly at them before turning away and walking to the direction of the bustop before either of them get a word in. He didn't turn back and allowed his tears to fall, cursing himself for being so weak.
Before Ajoo had a chance to explain, though he doesn't really have any idea how to explain, Kibum spoke first.
"I'm Kibum. Ajoo has been sleeping with me for the last couple of months. Though he didn't tell me he has a boyfriend which I assume you are one? Not that it would make a difference because I'd still go for him even if I knew from the start. He probably wouldn't have approached me anyway if his boyfriend was keeping him satisfied." Kibum stepped closed to Ajoo's side and laced his fingers with the other.
Ajoo sighed. Here goes the drama which he didn't want, but he might as well admit to his crime now that's he's been found out. "Sorry, Sandeul. I really did love you and I still do now, but I admit that my feelings have wavered because of Kibum. Even if I don't love him, he gives me what I need. Besides, you knew from the start that I'm a playboy, right? I really tried to change. I have been faithful to you... except for the last 4 months." The least he could do was to be honest to Sandeul and be willing to receive a slap if ever the other chose to do one.
Sandeul may be someone who could be rather innocent or dumb at getting things. But he wasn't THAT dumb, or THAT innocent. But he was also rational. So when he saw Ajoo's arms around the guy's waist, he didn't overthink it. It was indeed safer to do that if you're on a motorcycle. But then, he wondered where they had come from at this time in the morning. That was...rather suspicious (like, hello, Ajoo had school!) but he'd tried not too think too much about that. He'd seen that guy before in the club though...Ki...Ki something. He couldn't remember, and felt a little guilty for not remembering. However, Sandeul was baffled.
"Joo-ah,late for school? I dunno if you remember, but I take online lecture. Really? Forgetting such a thing?" He asks incredulously & continues before Ajoo can respond. "And,where did you go to come back to your own apartment at this ungodly hour in the morning? Also," He glances at the Ki something guy, not exactly angry, but more dissapointed. ",hearing someone one else call their own boyfriend babe... If you think it doesn't seem suspicious, or if you really think I'm that dumb..." Sandeul chuckles weakly and makes eye contact with Ajoo. "Then you're wrong. Care to... yknow? Explain honestly?" Sandeul finishes,draws in a breath sharply & tries to ignore the memories of the amount of times his ex-boyfriends cheated on him. He thought- really believed Ajoo might be different,but now it seemed like there was a chance he was another cheater. He suddenly remembers he should greet the Kisomething guy. He usually would, out of politeness. But... Right now? He's a bit too frustrated to care. Maybe Sandeul was the one making a big deal outta this but, he's always been like this, maybe a little too over emotional. And after his cheating ex-boyfriends, suspicious. He really really hopes Ajoo can give him some sort of reply that can rid him of suspicions, make everything seem normal and make sense. But then, "babe" does not make sense. At all.
Ajoo sighed as he read Sandeul's text message. Once again, he has been rejected by his boyfriend. He's actually contemplating of his boyfriend for a while now. He probably did if he didn't have Kibum to keep his ual needs satisfied.
On the other hand, it was a good thing that Sanduel wasn't expecting him since the second round of with Kibum actually took longer and more exhausting, so he ended up sleeping right away.
Ajoo finally got a look at the time and cursed. He had 30 minutes to get back to his apartment, change to his school uniform, and get to school. Not enough time at all. He'll surely be late.
"I can give you a ride." Kibum spoke as if he was reading Ajoo's thoughts. "I only have classes in the afternoon, so it's no trouble giving you a ride this morning."
Ajoo smiled. "You're the best." He kissed the other before hurriedly changing to his clothes.
Kibum's heart had fluttered for a moment before he hastened his actions on getting dressed as well. He especially liked it when Ajoo held him around the waist and leaned onto him as they rode on his motorcycle.
What he didn't expect was to see his boyfriend, Sandeul, standing in front of his apartment. He immediately lets go of Kibum's waist and took off the helmit, placing it on the motorcycle's seat before going towards his boyfriend.
"Sandeul, what are you doing here? You'll be late for school!!!" Ajoo used a worried tone, but it's more like he was worried for himself.
"Who is he, babe?" Kibum asked as he was now standing beside Ajoo and gave Sandeul a head-to-toe inspection.
Ajoo wondered how he was supposed to answer that question without giving away that he was two-timing.
Sandeul had kept his phone on vibrate mode and turned back to his work after that. It took him awhile to focus again but he had succeeded. When his phone suddenly vibrated around 1:00 AM, he jumped a little. Immediately checking his phone, he breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw Ajoo's reply and quickly typed one back.
To: Joo<3 ^^
Kkkk~ Okk Im glad >~< Im srry still & its fine! its vry late so u should sleep early. Its not healthy to stay up too late kkkk~ Im almost done with my assignment! Yay!~ Kkkk~
Then he turned back to his work, fired up to focus well on it and finish it quickly. He wanted to wait to see if Ajoo would reply (he really did hoped his hyung didn't sleep too late though) but the moment he finished his work, he texted someone else and laid his head on the table, immediately falling asleep after a minute or two.
- [I'm using this to cut if 2 chars r in diff places]
From: Sandeul
Hyung, r u working tmr night? ^^
Seungho read the message with an amused smile, remembering his cute dongsaeng/co-worker. Seungho had went back to his hometown to visit his parents the past week and just arrived home today, spending the whole day resting. The kid was already talking about work though,despite this being Seungho's day to relax.
To: Sandeul
Yes. Aren't we supposed to be working the same shift tomorrow night? I have the sheets ready. You know the song right?
Seungho had a busy day full of his work (Mondays, he groans), so he decided to finish the computer game he was playing and go to sleep after replying. He did after all, have a rehearsal for their new play in the afternoon and then work at the bar at night.
It was around 1 a.m. when Kibum and Ajoo had finished ing each other in the motel. Ajoo reached out for his cellphone and turned it on. He read the message from his boyfriend and replied.
Not mad. Love you too! Do you want me to bring over coffee at your place?
Every time he finished ing Kibum, he tends to be extra nice and sweet to his boyfriend, Sandeul. It's not because he feels guilty. It's more of just because he wants to get into his boyfriend's pants since it has been a while since they ed and he missed ing his cute boyfriend. He also didn't want to be caught cheating because of the drama that comes with it.
"You're leaving already? We only did one round." Kibum hugged Ajoo from behind, stopping the other from putting on his shirt.
"I can't be exhausted tonight, babe. I have a performance at school tomorrow." Ajoo turned his head to place a kiss on Kibum's cheek.
Kibum's sighed. "Okay. Good luck. Make sure to head straight home and rest."
"I will." This time, Ajoo kissed him on the lips but their kiss got deeper, wetter, and longer. Then they actually ended up having a second round of .
Today was supposed to be Sandeul's turn to perform at the club at night, he had to sing (he always did actually). But he'd told the boss, Woohyun, he was busy with rushing his last minute assignment he had to submit by tomorrow morning. Usually if Sandeul wasn't performing, Lee Joon (the poledancer and sometimes stripper) or Seungho(pianist when Sandeul sang, also a singer who danced when performing.) or Eunhyuk(another poledancer slash stripper) or Mir (the desperate for dj) would, their schedules werent fixed. Sometimes the performers shared performing days, doing shifts or performing together. Sometimes none of them appeared so the club would only use Mir who was forever there to manage the DJ booth and just play or choose the club music. On the days when they had a relaxed schedule, they took turns, some performing with each other, but there always was a main whether it was the poledancer combo or the singer-pianist combo. For example, Mondays-Lee Joon, Tuesdays-Mir, Wednesdays-Seungho, Thursdays-Sandeul, Fridays-Eunhyuk, Saturday-Mir, Sunday usually consisted of the most joint performances. Their schedule was pretty random to be honest. But the boss was okay with it anyway. Today there was only Mir.
Sandeul was supposed to be completing the damned assignment. But maybe it was because he had been looking through his & Joo's past photos, he had started realizing recently how much he neglected his lovely boyfriend, who he missed a lot. He had failed miserably, trying to focus because of his thoughts about Ajoo. So he'd decided to call him, but the call got cut off. Sandeul frowned. Was the other mad at him for not paying attention to him? Sandeul felt guilty & called him again,but his phone was off.
"Omo. He's definitely angry...Even avoiding me!" Sandeul mumbled in panic.He called 2 more times & stopped, not wanting to annoy him. Sandeul decided to text instead.
To: Joo<3 ^^
R u mad at me? Srry Im so busy! >~< Dont ignore me,call me bk pls? I love you!<3
