Thanks for voting, subscribing and commenting and just reading ~~~ I really appreciate that. A few words: I wanted this to be a one shot but its getting longer and longer XDSecondly, I changed a few things in this fic. Times they have to do military training in a year and so on. Also, I'm not using the actual president and different names because... yeah, I just wanted to ~ the background though is kind of the same ^^(And Woohyun keeps swearing, just so you know beforehand ^^"")So, please enjoy ~~  ** what the hell did I do to not see all the mistakes in this XD corrected it ~~~   Kim Sunggyu, 27, political science (and music) student close to finishing his studies.

For the past 6 months, since he got really involved in the demonstrations, almost all of his days started the same.Now that there is Woohyun, everything changed for him the two months they are together now.While before he woke up in his small but comfy one room apartment, he now finds himself in Woohyuns bed a few days a week.The first morning he felt quiet awkward when he woke up and  there was no Woohyun next to him in the huge bed. He could hear sounds from the kitchen so he went over and couldn't help but break out into a huge smile when he found Woohyun in between masses of scrambled eggs and toast, close to a mental breakdown because he apparently doesn't fucking know what Sunggyu usually has for breakfast and he is a bad host for not asking and he wanted it to be perfect and now he has burned eggs and no marmalade and could feed a soccer team ( direct quotation). Sunggyu simply couldn't tell him that he usually isn't one for eating breakfast and goes for cornflakes after he hugs Woohyun tightly because flustered Wooyhun is just too cute to be true.Whirlwind Woohyun destroyed all of his routine in the matter of a moment and he can't say that he wants to go back to the way things were.He is just too much in love.Just like Woohyun.But while Sunggyu is still awkward from time to time, not wanting to risk doing anything wrong, Woohyun just goes for it and showers him with all the affection he can gather. It doesn't help that behind all of his awkwardness Sunggyu is a big ball of fluff. After a month or so, Woohyun gave him a key to his apartment, telling him to come over whenever he feels like it.So, sometimes, he finds a sleeping hamster in the living room. Not on any of the seats but on the fluffy carpet between couch and table.  " Why don't you sleep in my bed?"" I want to wait for you."" Wait on the couch."" It is not fluffy."Woohyun keeps the carpet extra clean. ooo  One day, Sunggyu decides it is time for the big talk.No.Not about the dirty stuff.That, they already cleared the night after they got together." I want to tell you a bit more about my story." Sunggyu says one evening when they are lying on the couch together, Woohyuns head comfortable situated in his lap.Woohyun is awake a matter of seconds later.

"If it is okay to tell you, of course.", Sunggyu takes his hand in his. " Lately I'm thinking a lot about it and since I agreed to be in this relationship with you I don't want to have secrets. As your boyfriend…" he blushes slightly after his last words and Woohyun feels the oh so familiar swelling sensation in his chest, a familiar feeling that accompanies him since he met his boyfriend, no matter what Sunggyu is doing.Not an unwelcome feeling, but dearly treasured.

"Of course you can tell me."

Actually Woohyun has waited for this quiet a long while. He knows a lot about Sunggyu now, but the part that actually brought them together is still a big mystery to him.

" You need to keep this a secret. I know that your friends already kind of know about me and that is perfectly fine because you trust them and so will I do. But, for your sake it is better. I don't want you to get involved in this."

Woohyun feels a chill running down his spine. " Don't tell me you're actually some kind of mafia leader in between gang fights."

"We're not in a Hollywood movie.", Sunggyu chuckles and caresses Woohyuns cheek in a soothing manner. " I'm not a gang leader and I've never had anything to do with the mafia. Just let me explain. You remember that I told you I'm a politic science major close to graduation."

" Politic science and music." Woohyun adds. As if he would forget anything that Sunggyu tells him.

"Yeah. And music. But since politic science is my major I had to do a mandatory internship in a company or a political organisation of my liking. You might don't believe it but I have quiet the good grades so I had a lot of offers."

Woohyun gives him a quick kiss, brightly smiling. " You're just perfect."

Blushing cheeks and a quiet cough before Sunggyu finds his composure again. " Yeah… were was I… so… I had quiet a lot of internships to choose of and since I always was quiet interested in inner politics I choose the internship under one of the cabinet members."

"In the Blue House?"

"Yes. For about 3 months I got to work there and since I did a pretty well job according to them I had a lot of opportunities to join meetings with President Lee."

Woohyun is hanging on his lips.

" In person I found him quiet okay. That was in the beginning of his period and he still seemed to work to get through his campaign pledges. I also got a bit close to his wife--"

"Oh God you fucked his wife!"

Sunggyu raises an eyebrow. " I didn't sleep with his wife."

Woohyun glowers at him.

" Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Don't fuck other people."

"Yah.", Sunggyu laughs and pulls him closer with his hand around his neck until their foreheads touch. " Why so jealous? I told you I didn't."

"The mere thought  annoys me."

"I wasn't exactly a virgin whe-- OK ok! I'll stop! Don't kill me."

"I won't kill you. Just the others." Woohyun pouts, but Sunggyu is close and his and kisses him and… and then decides that he can deal with it." So. Blue house internship. You said the president was quiet alright and now you're some kind of opposition leader. How come?"" I'm not really an opposition leader..."" The opposition face, whatever. I'm curious. Please go on."

Sunggyus gaze grows serious again. He puts some distance between them but keeps his hand intertwined with Woohyuns. " The first time his image crumpled when I found him with one of his secretaries in a… situation."

"The secretary? Isn't that a bit too cliché?"

" Well… I saw what I saw. And it kind of made me mad. You know, I don't really care about what their private life as long as they do their job right. I personally despise cheating but what could I have done. He didn't know I saw so he kept doing and I just wanted to forget about it. Two more months and I would have been able to go my way. That is when he started to lack off. You remember how the former presidents party lessened college tuition fee and made it easier to pay back student loans?"

"I remember seeing it in the news."

"Yes. He promised to keep it that way and didn't. And since parents are so eager about their children's education they're just going with it because you know how you are looked down in this society without a degree.Still, nothing that can't be improved again. Then slightly after it was the military. When did you have your last military training? "

Woohyun thinks for a second. " In summer last year."

" He increased the amount of military training to 5 times a year, without paid leave from work for the men and meanwhile not doing anything to improve connections to North Korea."

Sunggyus voice changes slowly.Woohyun can hear the suppressed anger.

" You know how he can so easily act like that? Because half of this country loved his father that fucking dictator and those conservatives still only see how he strengthened economy but not how many people died. And now they put so much hope in his son. Half of the fucking cabinet and parliament are on his side. How do you think he gets his things through so easily? I wanted to stay there until the end but I left my internship 2 weeks later."

"Because you couldn't take it anymore? "

"Because that day I found out about he ignores information about human trafficking."

"He what??"

Sunggyus chaw tightens. " I looked into it. Might have done a  bit of... illegal searching. And what I told you is just a part of all. Of course, he is also doing the normal stuff like tax fraud. I left around the time when people slowly started to realise something is going terribly wrong. And then I rescued that person and here I am."

Woohyun is a bit lost for words.

"Can't you… just show the things you saw to the media."

" A scandal can't easily stop an elected president. And I don't have any actual proof. Hell… even the cabinet is behind him since he appointed them. I'm just glad Minjoo has now around the same seats in parliament as Saenuri. They're too conservative. They voted for Park to be prime minister. You know he went to high school with Lee?", Sunggyu slowly shakes his head, his features finally relaxed again. " No… we need to make sure there is enough pressure so he will quit on his own or listen to us. I don't want him to finish his time of governemtn. A bit more than 4 years… that's enough time for him to destroy this country."

Woohyun starts to feel bad while he listens to Sunggyus agitated words.Once more, he is reminded of how much he doesn't know about his country.He feels... embarrassed.Yes. That is the right word for it.

" What's wrong?" Sunggyu asks, sensing his discomfort.

"I just realised how much of a rich bastard I am. I didn't know anything about half the things you talked about.", he avoids Sunggyus gaze as best as he can. " I never had to worry about student loans… and to be honest I never really went to vote before. Listening to you made me feel a bit embarrassed about my own ignorance."

A soft poke against his nose and Sunggyus warm smile he falls in love with over and over again.

"No need to feel embarrassed. I guess politics are quiet important and maybe I will force you to vote from now on.", his words are light so Woohyun won't feel scolded. " But it is okay. You grew up differently. Of course there are other things in your head. I'm sure you have your own burden to carry. Maybe If I hadn't been born to a single mother I wouldn't act like this now."

"I will try to understand more about it..."

"That's perfectly fine. Just.", he holds Woohyuns hand tighter. " Try to stay away from the demonstrations. Promise?"

"Why?"

"They are slowly getting out of hand. People are frustrated . They feel like they can't be heard. I'm worried the riots before were only the beginning. I don't want you to be there when they get out of hand.", he blushes again but Woohyun feels way too distressed to melt at the moment.

" Well, then you stay out of there too! No way I'm letting you go there if it turns dangerous!"

"It's not that dangerous… at least not the weekly demonstrations on Mondays close to Gwanghwamun. I'm just a bit worried about the ones taking place once every month. People from outside Seoul  are coming too, some with the intention to just let their frustration out."

Woohyun gets closer, his hand on Sunggys shoulder. "Then tell them to calm the fuck down."

"I'm not their leader."

"You are.", Woohyun argues. " You're everywhere in the media."

"I'm just the guy they take pictures of. I plan some of the demonstrating and give out information on Facebook about them. And sometimes you find me on some car with a megaphone when they ask me to. But that's all."

"Everyone knows you."

"They just listen to me as long as they want to. I have no authority. I can't even show my face because I'm too worried everyone recognizes me."

Woohyun pulls him into a tight embrace. " Then don't go."

"I need to be there. For motivation at least."

His warm breath tickles Woohyuns neck.

" Then… run as soon as something happens."

" Of course."" To me."" Always."

Woohyun knows that his boyfriend doesn't take his answer too serious and promises himself to change Sunggys mind.

He still keeps Sunggys in the embrace, only loosens it a bit to kiss his cheek." Does the Blue House know who you are?"

" I don't really know.  But since this is still a democracy and I'm not killing anyone they can't to nothing. Once they saw me damaging a car but that was a big misunderstanding I will tell you about another time. They charged against person unknown so I might get out of it."" My Mom's a lawyer."" Good to know."

Woohyun takes his previous posture again, his head in Sunggyus lap. "I can't help but being worried about you after getting to know all of this."

Another kiss.Sunggyus hair tickles his forehead.

" Don't worry. It's fine. Even if they find out about me. They can't put me in prison for a car I guess."

"Still... even though I'm kind of worried... thanks for telling me."

A smile that shows more than a thousand words. "Thanks for listening."

OOO

Hoya takes a look at his watch.Ten past twelve.Woohyun wanted to spend his break with Hoya to finally introduce Sunggyu and Hoya offered them his bar as a meeting spot since it still is closed for a few more hours.

"I'm so curious." Sungjong says, impatiently tapping his feet on the ground.

"Didn't you leave the office together?"

"He told me to come here straight because he needed to meet Sunggyu at the subway station. Say.", he leans closer to Hoya. " How do you think his boyfriend will be like?"

"Well. According to Woohyun he is walking perfection so yeah…" another look at his watch. "Let's wait and see."

" There they are!"

And truly, that moment and happily chattering Woohyun opens the door, followed by a caramel haired, not too comfortable looking guy.Good looking, Hoya thinks and when he in all of his visible discomfort still makes sure that air head Woohyun won't stumble over the stair at the entrance Hoya thinks that he might be real keeper material.

"Hey guys." Woohyun pulls Sunggyu over by his hand, a blinding smile on his face.

" You're too late." Hoya states.

Woohyun takes a look at his watch. " Only ten minutes. Get the stick out of your ass."

"It's my fault." a slightly blushing Sunggyu bows.

Slightly blushing, Hoya thinks with a raised eyebrow.Not what he expected.

" I've never been here and took the wrong entrance at the subway station. I'm sorry for making you wait."

" How did you find someone hot and cute at the same time ?"

"Sungjong!", Woohyun shrieks pulling Sunggyu protectively closer. " Keep your eyes off!"

Sungjong leans on his hand, shrugging nonchalantly. " Difficult in that shirt of his"

"I know, but--"

"Woohyun!" Sunggyu is a tomato by now and Hoya feels quiet sorry for him. He reaches out for him and pulls Sunggyu into the seat next to him. " Leave them alone. Physically twenty plus, mentally five minus. I'm Hoya by the way. And that needy friend is Sungjong. Between his attempts to pull your clothes off with his eyes I'm sure he is as glad to finally meet you as I am."

Woohyun sits down at the table, after a short staring contest with Sungjong."I told you, Gyu. He's crazy."

"Eh… yeah…" Sunggyu smiles, a bit overwhelmed by everything.He grabs his seat with both hands.

Hoya decides to help him out a bit (because he has to admit he already likes the guy) and turns his attention to Woohyun. "How was work?"

Before he can answer, Sungjong rolls his eyes. " He was more useless than normally."

Woohyun kicks his shin under the table and smiles apologetically and Sunggyu." I have to admit... maybe I was so. Not that he gets to tell. I'm still his boss even though he ignores it an awful lot of times. But...it doesn't happen everyday that your boyfriend meets your best friend... and the useless Co worker no one needs."

They share soft smiles, for a moment in their own world and even Sunggyu can finally relax.

Yeah, Hoya thinks, they're quiet alright together.And for Hoya, that statement is an accolade.

"So, Sunggyu. Tell us a bit about you.", he gets up from his chair to walk behind the bar." Woohyun said you're still studying?"

"Yes. I'm a politic science major."

"And music." Woohyun adds.

Hoya pulls a bottle of cola out and shows it to them. They nod in unison and he brings the bottle and two glasses to the table.

"Actually, 90% of the things Woohyun is talking about lately consists of your name or things you did or your name and the things you did."

Woohyun mouths a Sorry to Sunggyu but the latter only chuckles and shakes his head in disbelief.Hoya is quiet satisfied with himself when he notices Sunggyu slowly feels okay around them.

" You know, Sunggyu. I lack tactfulness so sorry beforehand.", Sungjong leans over the table. " But it's a fucking shame you have to hide that face behind a mask."

With a cry he jumps up from his chair, closely followed by a fuming Woohyun. They disappear in the kitchen.So much for feeling okay around them.

" They are like cat and dog. No need to feel uncomfortable."

"Woohyun told me about everything. Still…", he adds slowly. "I'm a bit surprised."

Hoya drinks a bit of his coke. "How long have you been together now?"

"Soon it'll be 3 months."

"You're happy with him?"

Hoya is already getting used to his blushing.

" Yes. Very. Very much. Woohyun is… great." His gaze goes to the door the two of them vanished through earlier and Hoya knows that he wants to say so much more.He doesn't have to.Hoya has always been good with people and reading them.Sunggyu can have Woohyun.

"You know. About that thing…" he starts.

Sunggyus small eyes widen slightly. "I promise you I'm in no way a danger to Woohyun."" I just want--"" I'm no gangster. It's just the media."Hoya pats his shoulder in a soothing manner. "I know. Just wanted to tell you that a few years ago I had to go through detention of juvenile delinquents for a few months. So… even if some of the things like property damage were true...no judging here."

"Thanks for telling me."Yes... definitely a nice guy.

A call a moment later.

"Sorry. I need to answer that.", Sunggyu says, gets up from his chair and answers the call after walking a few steps.

"Yes?………. I'm with Woohyun and his friends…… what?…….. close to his workplace……… Yes. That bar…….. no…….. No you cant…….I said no…… yo--"

He looks at that device, seemingly not knowing if he should be angry or not.

"Who was it?"

"Best friend.", he rubs his neck. " He… wants to come over. He hasn't met Woohyun before and is close by. Oh great…"

Hoya chuckles. "It's fine."

"Only that I'm nervous enough by myself and my friend isn't exactly… laid back and quiet."

"You're leaving?" A dishevelled looking Woohyun appears in the kitchen door, followed by a limping Sungjong.

Sunggyu realises he is standing between door and table and walks back to his chair. " No. I just got a call."

Woohyun uses Sungjongs abstinence to take the chair closer to Sunggyu, sneaking his hand into his boyfriends.

Sunggyu looks a bit unsure. " You remember me telling you about Dongwoo?"

"The mobile thief?"

"Yes. He wants to come over now. To meet you."

Woohyun just shrugs, the reaction Hoya was waiting for.Woohyun never really had problems with meeting new people. "Sure, why not. As long as he keeps his hands away from my mobile."" Infamous mobile thief is coming over?" Sungjong asks, his face still showing some of the pain in his leg.Sunggyu nods, running his hand through his hair. " Yes. And he might be here sooner th--"" Sunggyu!"A flood of blonde hair and loud laughter pours down on Sunggyu." Dongwoo... air..."Hoya, having been Woohyuns friend for years feels Sunggyus pain." Sorry, GuyGuy. I haven't seen you for a while. And I got the feeling you didn't want me here.", he breaks out in laughter again, giving Sunggyu a not so soft hit against his shoulder. " As if. You must be Woohyun?"" Yes..." Woohyun says, a bit speechless." I wanted to meet you all this time. I still have to apologize for taking your mobile but at that moment I was so overwhelmed and I just forgot. Thank god I did. In the end it was me that brought you and Sunggyu together.", he has Woohyuns hands in his and shakes them heavily. " Just imagine you wouldn't have brought your mobile that day. Scary thought. Like that one time Sunggyu wanted to buy an Iphone and I barely stopped him. Can you imagine? He had Samsung for like half of his life. I'm Dongwoo by the way. Nice to meet you."" Nice... to meet you to."" You're scaring him, Dongwoo." Sunggyu pulls him back, motioning for the other people." Hoya and Sungjong. Woohyuns friends."" Hey^^"Yes. Hoya likes those guys.

OOO   Suggyu kisses him and hugs him next to the subway station a bit later, Dongwoo a few metres away to give them some privacy.

"You're really okay about going back together with Dongwoo?" he asks when they part.

Woohyun laughs. " I don't know what your problem is but I already love him. And it's just over to the office. After he used up all of his energy you can even have a conversation with him."

Sunggyu softly punches his shoulder with a smile. "Don't say that unless you want to make me jealous."

Woohyun takes his hand in both of his. " Of course I will always prefer to go home with you but someone is busy with essays today."

"Sorry.", Sunggyu pushes one of his dark hair strands out of his forehead. " I promise to meet you tomorrow during lunchtime."

"And you'll stay the night."

"And I'll stay the night. But I have to leave early in the morning."

"Maybe you'll have to leave early in the morning." Woohyun grins and winks at him.

Sunggyu shakes his head in played disbelief and leans in for another peck.

"Be safe."

"You, too. I love you."

It became easier for Woohyun to tell him.Not that it was ever hard for him.But with Sunggyu it was always a tiny bit different.He was scared that it would drive Sunggyu away when he gave him the thought everything was way too fast. But it never seemed like Sunggyu was driven away by his words and actions and for about two weeks now even Sunggyu can respond without having a mental breakdown.

" Love you too. I'll text you."

With a small wave he turns away and leaves for the entrance of the subway, leaving a floating Woohyun behind. He notices Dongwoos presence, turning to him with a featherbrained smile. "I'm so fucking in love with this guy."

"Everyone who never wanted to know can see. I'm happy for you though. Let's go."

They walk down the street, a comfortable small talk shared between them.

"Where did you meet Sunggyu?"

" Second year of middle school. I transferred to his school and the first thing he did was punching me in the face." Dongwoo happily smiles as if he just told a great joke when Woohyun can just stare at him with an open mouth. "He what?? My teddy bear??"
