Chapter 125 (1/1)

Jeonghan holds his hands as he watches the subway roll up.  The sign in the front said that it was going to Seoul.  He looked at the tiger beside him.  Hoshi was eyeing the same unit.  He bent down to pull up his suitcase handle.  He then looked at Jeonghan with tired eyes. "You'll do well, I know you will."  Jeonghan said with a small smile.  "You might not think so, but I think you're the strongest tiger in the world."  He continued, a sad smile was present. Hoshi breathed in and out with a small nod.  "Thank you, Dad.."  He tried to stay tough, Jeonghan did too.  However, he furrowed his eyebrows. "Who am I kidding, come here and hug me!"  Jeonghan said, putting his arms around Hoshi.  "I'm going to miss you so much!"  He said, letting his tears go down and ruin Hoshi's collar. Hoshi would be the same, but with more snot.  "I'm going to miss you too!"  He said, pulling Jeonghan closer while his shoulders trembled. Jeonghan noticed that the boarding is starting.  "Hoshi, you have to go now."  He pulled away from Hoshi.  "Be a good boy, and remember everything that made you the strong tiger you are today.  Promise me you won't get into any trouble."  He held Hoshi's cheek. Hoshi nodded, letting the adult wipe his tears.  "I love you, Jeong-daddy."  He said as he gripped the handle once more. "I love you too.."  Jeonghan said, pushing the boy to start walking before he traps him here. Hoshi watched Jeonghan in the window as the subway unit started rolling on the tracks.  Jeonghan watched until the tunnel got in the way of their eye contact.  And even then, it was a few seconds later that Jeonghan averted his eyes from the tunnel wall. He sighed and looked down at the platform.  "And there he goes.."  He muttered, walking away.

Once he's out of the subway, he turns on his heels and just walks.  He arrives at college, surprised that his feet led him this way.  He looked around and decided to go to the dojo. He saw students outside the building practicing their forms.  He just watched them bow to him before continuing on.  He went into the building and saw a match was going on.  It was between a smaller kid and a big kid.  The smaller kid looked defenseless against the bigger one. "Huening, you are up against Mingi.  Show us what you have learned."  Jun said, watching the boys and not having any idea about the parent in the dojo. Mingi narrowed his eyes as he saw the smaller break his stance and charged in.  Seeing that the other was in offense mode, Mingi went with the defense approach.  He blocked the kick with his knee before spinning and landing a punch into Huening's stomach. The smaller fell on his knees and coughed a little.  "Darn.."  Huening said, wiping blood from his lips. "Mingi, what should he learn from his strategy?"  Jun asked, putting his arms behind his back.

Mingi looked at the child and thought for a moment.  "He needs to not focus on one blow, rather he needs to realize that people can block with an attack."  He said.  "I would suggest preparing to block right at the attack.  Nonetheless, his speed is definitely extraordinary."  Mingi smiled. Huening bowed a touch, holding his stomach.  "That boy coughed up blood."  Jeonghan inserted.  "Doesn't he need medical attention?"  He asked. The students look back at Jeonghan.  Jun relaxes his arms with a shocked expression.  "Jeong-dad, what are you doing here?"  He asked, walking past the fighters. "I'm bored.."  Jeonghan muttered, looking at Jun who put his arm around his shoulders.  "Why are you trying to walk me out of the building?"  He asked. Jun sighed a touch.  "Huening is fine.  If you want to watch the matches, I need to ask you to be quiet."  He said, biting the corner of his lip. Jeonghan hummed and nodded.  "I'm not wanted here.. I get it.."  He said.  "Dino's class is next door, right?"  He asked. "He's already got a helper inside.. Renjun is getting extra credit by being an assistant to Dino."  Jun answered, stepping out with Jeonghan. Jeonghan watched Jun wave his hand and the students went back to practicing.  "I see..And Mingyu-"

"Don't even.  His classroom upgraded to a restaurant.  He's not even on campus anymore."  Jun interrupted.  "I think the best place you could go right now is the theater."  Jun said, walking with the parent and Jeonghan noticed they were at the said building. Jeonghan looked up at it and hummed.  "Alright.  I'll ruin Seungkwan's day today."  He said with a slight smirk. Jun chuckled.  "Who knows?  He might need you in there."  He said. "Why's that?"  Jeonghan asked with a surprised look. "San isn't guarding Seungkwan anymore."  Jun answered, looking up at the roof of the building.  "I'm not for sure how Jongho and Seonghwa are getting along right now, but you never know what crazy things they might try to pull."  He continued as he kicked a pebble. Jeonghan pouted his lip.  "They're that mean to each other?"  He asked. "Just see for yourself."  Jun advertised the door.  "I need to get back to my class now, Yeji and Mingi are probably upset that I left without telling them."  He scratched his neck. Jeonghan nodded.  "See you,"  He waved.

Jeonghan quietly went into the theater.  He saw that the students were on stage.  He decided to take a seat as they were singing.

"Come on, get your tone right."  Jongho complained to Seonghwa. "I used the exact same tone I used during our practice run this morning."  Seonghwa argued, folding his arms.  "You're the one going higher without telling me."  He said. Sungmin breathed in and out.  "You guys.. How many times are you going to stop the whole song?"  He asked, holding his forehead. "Just sing the twenty seconds each, finish together, and move on."  He said. Jongho huffed. "He probably doesn't have the energy to finish."  He said, looking up at Seonghwa. Seokmin shot Jongho a blank stare.  Meanwhile, Seonghwa closes his eyes.  "At least I don't have countless pictures of my ex in my bed."  He said. "Who told you?!"  Jongho backed up a bit, causing a couple of the other students to grumble in the line. Seonghwa widened his eyes.  "I was.. just.. what?"  He raised an eyebrow. Jongho swallowed audibly.  "I mean.." Seonghwa gripped Jongho's collar.  "You have pictures of Seungkwan in your bed?!  Seriously?!"  He asked angrily, picking the boy off of his feet. "W-we-well-"  Jongho held Seonghwa's wrist in an effort to get him off. Kyuhyun stood up.  "That's enough!  Let him go!"  He shouted. Seonghwa narrowed his eyes on the shorter and let Jongho drop.  Ignoring his pained moan, Seonghwa goes back into formation.  "That's the best you got?"  Jongho asked, sitting up. The taller looked down and clenched his fists.  "Shut up already."  Seonghwa said, stepping on Jongho's ankle. "Ow!!"  Jongho held his ankle as the step was more of a stomp.  Seonghwa rolled his eyes and eyed the teachers below him.  "Seonghwa, that's enough."  Sungmin said, looking at the singer.  "I'd like it if you were to step off the stage for a little while, okay?"  He requested politely. The stork child bowed and walked off of the stage.  He saw Jeonghan waving at him to come over.  He was surprised to say the least.  "Come here."  Jeonghan instructed. Seonghwa hung his head low and pursed his lips as he obeyed the parent.  He sat down next to Jeonghan and put his hands in his lap. "Why did you hurt him?"  Jeonghan asked. "Sometimes I just get tired of some idiot thinking he's all that."  Seonghwa held his head.  "Sometimes it's hard to just stay silent when all you get are degrading names and hurtful words thrown at you from day to day."  He closed his eyes as he tried to get the steam out through breathing. Jeonghan furrowed his eyebrows.  "That's no excuse for hurting someone.."  He muttered. "I know,"  Seonghwa said, "I just need to go cool down.  I'm sorry for acting that way, Mr. Yoon."  He stood up and bowed. Jeonghan hummed and held the boy's hand.  "When Seungkwan comments about your fashion being lacking, will you kick his knee in?"  He asked. "Never."  Seonghwa looked into Jeonghan's eyes.  "Seungkwan's too precious to me.  He can call me names or make fun of my height all day, as long as it's only him."  He said, getting a surprised glare from Jeonghan. Jeonghan tilted his head.  "You're not that tall, why would someone make fun of you for being as tall as me?"  He asked. "Kids at stork school made fun of me before already being this height while I was skinny and only fourteen.."  Seonghwa said.  "It's just something that kids there do.  If you don't fall in love with your classmate, you're most likely enemies."  He gave a sigh. Jeonghan frowned.  "Hm.." "Anyway, before I have another outburst.. I should go somewhere else."  Seonghwa gently took his hand back.  "Enjoy their practice.. Seungkwan's piano playing is really beautiful."  He said with a small smile before leaving the parent. Seonghwa decided to go behind the stage and sit on a chair there.  He closed his eyes as he did a set of breathing exercises.  He clenched his fists as he thought about Jongho lusting after Seungkwan.  His eyebrows go down angrily as he thought of Jongho trying to flirt with Seungkwan and touch his Seungkwan. He opened his eyes in shock.  "Where did that come from..?"  He wondered aloud.  "I don't own him.  I don't have the right to call him mine when we're not even too serious."  He told himself, mentally beating himself up for having a thought of possession. He then heard the door open.  He saw Seungkwan walking up to him.  "Hey.. are you okay?"  He asked, sitting next to the taller. "I'm fine.."  He sighed. "I hope Jongho is fine too.. I don't know what came over me.."  He said, holding his hands tightly as Seungkwan leaned closer. Seungkwan hummed with a small nod.  "He'll be fine.."  He assured.  "So I was wondering.. Jeong-dad told me I could invite you over for dinner tomorrow.  Will it be okay for you to come?"  He asked. Seonghwa looked away from him.  "I.. I have to cook for my family."  He said. "Oh.. I could bring some food to your place then."  Seungkwan smiled. "Well, Hongjoong needs help for a project."  Seonghwa scratched his neck.  "He gets annoyed when all of his attention isn't on him."  He made an excuse. Seungkwan chuckled.  "I could help too, I went to stork school too, you know."  He nudged the other male. Seonghwa sighed and finally Seungkwan got the hint.  "Do you just not want to spend time with me?"  He asked seriously.  "Did I say something?"  Seungkwan asked. Hearing the hurt in Seungkwan's tone made Seonghwa feel guilty.  "It's not you, Seungkwan."  He finally looked at the diva. "I think we should have some space, that's all."  He said. "Space..? Are we moving too quickly?"  Seungkwan asked in concern. "If you rather me not text you-" "You're fine, Seungkwan."  Seonghwa interrupted.  "Really, it's just me.  I've not been in my right mind lately.."  He said. Seungkwan held the male's shoulder.  "What's wrong?"  He asked. Seonghwa sighed.  "When you told Jongho off a few days ago.. I started thinking about us."  He said.  "I started thinking about how I wanted to pleasure you and make you crave for us."  He said, looking into Seungkwan's eyes. "Pl-pleasure?"  Seungkwan was shocked. "I've been having bad thoughts every waking moment.  Thoughts about how I want to make you mine."  Seonghwa's eyes turn dark.  "How I want you all to myself."  Possession was in his stare. Seungkwan swallowed harshly.  "I see.."  He averted his eyes. "I've told my parents and I've been trying to meditate, fast, and all of that other stuff."  Seonghwa sighed in defeat.  "Nothing has gotten me to stop thinking about you like that.. aside from Jongho."  He grimaced. Seungkwan looked at the male.  "You're even thinking about it right now?"  He asked cautiously. "Especially right now."  He answered honestly.  "Something is telling me to drag you into the dressing room and do..Things..To you." He continued. Seungkwan held his mouth with furrowed eyebrows.  "But I'm not, I'm not going to do that."  Seonghwa said.  "I'll chain myself down before I act out any of my thoughts, I promise."  He said. Seungkwan made some distance between them.  "I think it would be a good idea to distance ourselves from each other for a little while."  He said in a shaky breath.  "I'm not ready for that.  I'm..Well I'm afraid."  He admitted. The taller nodded and looked down.  "I know.. I'm afraid of myself.."  He said. "I know you were wearing gray, but you really remind me of a crow."  Seungkwan said.  "Yeosang and Ren told me they had the same feelings.. like they wanted to claim their boyfriend as their property."  He commented. Seonghwa nodded.  "I know.. it's weird.. but I'm a stork.  It's what the letter said.  And Hongjoong is a stork too.."  He said with raised eyebrows. ​​​​​Seungkwan hummed.  "You won't go too far, right?"  He asked. "I promise."  Seonghwa replied. Seungkwan nodded.  "I want a kiss then."  He said, moving closer to the taller male. Seonghwa stood up and looked down at the diva.  He put his hand on Seungkwan's nape before moving it up into Seungkwan's hair, gently moving his hand through the boy's hair as his other hand reached to cup Seungkwan's cheek. "Are you sure?"  He asked, looking at Seungkwan's plump lips that formed a smile. Seungkwan nodded.  "I trust you won't hurt me."  He said, his lips anticipating what's to come. Seonghwa leaned forward to put their lips together.  It definitely was gentle at first, having the males smile and bring each other closer in the kiss.  But then Seonghwa was asking permission to roam Seungkwan's mouth as his tongue lined the boy's lips.  Seungkwan allowed it, their tongues coming together for the first time, bringing new sensations to their bodies. Seonghwa's hold on the shorter's shoulders was light, Seungkwan would comment.  Although his kissing is rather passionate, he couldn't help but notice that Seonghwa was holding back doing other things.  Seungkwan was feeling a warmth come across him, and he pulled them even closer, earning  the male to hold him tighter, but still cautiously. Seungkwan moaned a fraction when he felt his back touch a wall.

"Hyung?"

That broke them.  Seungkwan saw the fire that was burning in Seonghwa's eyes extinguish as he looked at Hongjoong with wide eyes.  "Hongjoong, what are you doing here?"  He asked, gently letting Seungkwan go and turning his body toward the younger sibling. The boy with the mullet looked up at Seonghwa with a tilted head.  "My class let out early due to some maintenance problems.."  He said.  "What are you doing with Seungkwan?  Didn't Hoya-dad tell you to stay away from him?"  He asked. Seonghwa pursed his lips and looked at Seungkwan.  The diva smiled a touch.  "I asked him to kiss me, it's okay."  He put his hand up. Hongjoong looked up at the sibling once more.  "Hongjoong-ah,"  Seonghwa smiled at the boy, "there's a man out there with black hair in the audience named Mr. Yoon.  He's Seungkwan's dad."  He stated. "Mhm?"  Hongjoong looked at him with a confused glare. "Why don't you go sit with him for awhile, hm?"  He suggested. The boy nodded and left the room.  Seonghwa let out a sigh and slumped his shoulders.  "You restrained yourself really well, Seonghwa."  He felt the younger hold his shoulder.  "I don't want us to distance ourselves, that'll just make it worse.  We'll get through this together."  He smiled.

Seonghwa smiled back.  "Yeah.. I feel better, honestly."  He held Seungkwan's hand.  "I suppose it just takes a little bit of my stork to get me to calm down.."  He said. Seungkwan hummed.  "Again, a teenage crow thing.. Anger issues are common in crows.."  He muttered. "Maybe the stories of Woozi and Yeosang you keep telling has something to do with it."  He chuckled.  "I'm going on stage to practice now."  He informed. Seungkwan nodded.  "Just don't kill Jongho, ignore him."  He smiled. Seonghwa nodded.  "Right, I'll do my best."  He bowed before they walked out on stage.

The taller watches Seungkwan go to the piano.  He then sees Hongjoong in the audience next to Jeonghan.  He then walks back into the formation, getting a stare from Jongho. "Good, you're back."  Sungmin smiled. Seonghwa bowed before turning to Jongho.  "I'm sorry for my actions earlier.  Let's just practice for this.  After the performance, it'll be over."  He said, looking at the shorter. Jongho just huffs.  "Let's start."  He looked at Sungmin before peering at Seungkwan. The diva cracks his knuckles before he begins playing the song on the piano.  

Seonghwa wants Seungkwan all to himself.

What do you think?  Do you guys like these two together? XD
