Embracing The Truth

In the living room.

Good job. Did you find anything fishy in Song Mino's room that night?

Junhoe sighs reading the text message from his co-worker and starts typing.

I did see some suspicious files in an opened drawer, near his bed.

Junhoe bits his lower lip as he remembers it. He did notice the opened drawer while he was handing the envelope to Mino. Probably the drawer was opened while reaching for lube or something.

Ok. That's good enough. Thank you, June.

He smiles and puts down the phone on the couch. He turns on the TV and flips through the channels but nothing interest him.

That's when the door slides open and Jiwon appears with fur jacket over his body and skinny jeans. Junhoe remembers what happened last night when Jiwon went down to take care of exhausted Yunhyeong.

He sees Jiwon smiles at him though he pretends to be busy watching the TV, "You're home, my roomie."

"Yes, I am," he replies without drifting his eyes from TV.

Jiwon removes his jacket and hangs it on the chair before asking again, "You are not out with your friends or anyone?"

Junhoe snorts, "It's none of your business."

Jiwon is about to walk into their shared bedroom but hearing the tone, he glances at him and decides to just ignore grumpy Junhoe. Might be that day of the month.

He chuckles to himself before continuing his path to the bedroom to get changed and take a shower.

Hearing the bedroom door closes, Junhoe sighs. He doesn't expect himself to be that cold to Jiwon, but he can't help it.

He just cannot accept that it is Yunhyeong, out of all people. Though he doesn't even know why.

Probably because Yunhyeong seems to be in love with Donghyuk. Oh, they are an item.

All the more reasons he is so against it.

He cannot bear seeing Jiwon in pain of loving someone that loves someone else.

What he doesn't realize is he is also in the same situation.

Jiwon comes out of the bedroom with only his bathrobe, drying his hair with a towel while looking at Junhoe on the couch.

He smiles lightly and walks toward the other before casually sitting beside him, leaning himself against the comfy couch.

"Do I smell good?" Jiwon tries to initiate a conversation with a flirting remark.

"Of course, would you smell like shit after taking a shower?" Is Junhoe's reply.

Jiwon burst out in a fine laughter, holding his stomach. 

"It's been awhile since I last hear a reply this refreshing," Jiwon says, still giggling to himself while Junhoe only shrugs.

As he stops, Jiwon looks to his side, before murmuring while leaning himself closer to Junhoe, "I'm tired. Can I rest against your thigh?"

But without waiting for Junhoe's permission, he just naturally rests his head against Junhoe's lap.

Junhoe presses his lips together, "Why ask when you would do it anyway?"

Jiwon smiles as he closes his eyes, enjoying the moment. He opens his eyes again to look at what Junhoe's been watching since before.

"We Got Married?" Jiwon beams at the choice of program, "You watch this kind of show?"

"It's a rerun. Plus, it's Yura. My love."

Jiwon laughs again. "Yeah, Yura is hot."

Junhoe only smiles as a response.

"So, is she your ideal type?" Jiwon asks with anticipating eyes looking up at the younger.

Junhoe looks down at him and fakes a cough, "I guess... So."

"I wonder. What kind of a woman is your type? Pretty?" Jiwon asks curiously while crossing his bare legs.

Junhoe gets quiet as he is distracted by how Jiwon is moving his legs so sensually like that in front of him, though the older actually doesn't even realize what has he done to the other.

Jiwon only curious about Junhoe's ideal woman.

"I like– people with lovely legs."

Jiwon smiles meaningfully, "So, have you ever dated anyone like that?"

Junhoe shyly nods and Jiwon gets interested to know more. At the same time. Jealous.

"How many? When?"

"Two, during highschool."

Jiwon gets up with an amused smile, "So, your first time was when you were a high-schooler. Interesting."

Junhoe looks away as he shakes his head, "No, my first time was with a different person."

Jiwon's eyes round this time. "Who?"

"The school nurse during my first year in junior high."

Jiwon feels a tiny pang in his heart at the revealation. Dang. That brings back some old memories.

He rests his head against Junhoe's lap again and asks, "So, mind to share how it happened?"

"Her legs— she kept recrossing them in front of me, so I unintentionally said she has such pretty legs. Then, she asked if I wanted to touch them."

Jiwon giggles, feeling shy out of sudden, "Then?"

"She grabbed my hand and put it in her skirt," Junhoe can't believe he is telling Jiwon all these, as he never told anyone at all about that before.

"Shit," Jiwon covers his mouth, feeling so giddy, "Come on, keep going."

"I touched– there," Junhoe sighs, he doesn't want to remember it anymore but he just can't stop speaking, "Her underwear was wet already. And she removed my belt. She stroked me up and down and stopped when I was about to come."

Jiwon still covers his mouth all shy, and makes a disbelief look to Junhoe who is telling him delicious morsel with such a robotic expression?

How can he look stoic while saying all that?

"The nurse lifted up her skirt up to her waist and got on top of me–"

Jiwon waits but there's no more words coming out from the younger's mouth. Therefore, he immediately looks up to him again, "On top? And?"

"I..." Junhoe sighs inwardly, "I don't remember the rest."

"What???" Jiwon automatically gets up, staring at the other in disbelief, "Don't remember– Come on, recall!"

Junhoe presses his lips together, "I'm sorry."

Jiwon snorts, and that's when the door slides open, showing Hanbin who appears then.

"Hi, guys. Good morning," Hanbin greets them with a yawn.

Jiwon scoffs, "Did you not sleep again last night?"

Hanbin only smiles like a silly boy before making a peace sign for them as he removes his shoes on the rack.

Jiwon turns to Junhoe back and sighs heavily before getting up to leave with a frustrated remark.

"I hate this guy's half-assed memory."

Hanbin chuckles when Jiwon disappears into the room and diverts his eyes to Junhoe who still maintains his no expression face.

"What have you done to that guy?" 

Junhoe shrugs as if nothing happened and Hanbin chuckles again, "That's why I like you," and gives him a thumbs-up.

Later that night at the nightclub.

Junhoe sighs softly and looks up to where Jiwon is, in the bar. He is chatting with Donghyuk like usual in their reserved port, but with addition of Yunhyeong that night. He grits his teeth with an annoyed sigh, somehow feeling angry to see how Jiwon fakes his happy self in front of the two.

He is fucking in love with Yunhyeong! So why-

Junhoe is very irritated.

He glares at Yunhyeong who is leisurely sitting between Donghyuk and Jiwon while having his arm over Donghyuk lovingly. He even notices that Jiwon's eyes are indeed sad while watching the two lovebird, Why? Eventhough someone so beautiful and devoted is right next to him, why doesn't Yunhyeong hyung notice it?

He really cannot understand it, Why am I feeling so annoyed?

He wonders how broken Jiwon might be.

Right at that time, Jiwon's eyes turn to Junhoe and he frowns cutely before making a I'm watching you look and Junhoe smiles amusedly at him.

He guesses, Jiwon is still unsatisfied with what happened before.

Right at that time, Junhoe notices someone approaching that table. Someone in a suit, just like how Song Minho usually wears.

Probably another gangster.

Junhoe wonders what happened. He only sees Jiwon said something and so did the other person, but he doesn't know what were they talking about.

Then, Jiwon puts on a small smile before following that person away from the table, leaving Donghyuk and Yunhyeong dumbfounded there.

It is obvious watching from the counter that Donghyuk seems confused and frustrated for some reasons.

.

.

Junhoe goes to the toilet when he bumps into Jiwon and that person talking across the corridors before the toilet. He somewhat hears what they are talking about.

"Mino hyung is here tonight," Jiwon says in a whisper before noticing Junhoe's arrival to the toilet.

"I know, that's why we can just make it short, okay?" He sounds so impatient and needy.

Jiwon sighs, just watching when Junhoe ignores them and enters the toilet quietly.

"Namjoon-ah, I'm afraid we can't make it. Mino hyung wants to see me tonight anyway," Jiwon replies, feeling conflicted with the older's demand.

Namjoon leans his back against the wall, feeling defeated already. "You know it's been ages. I finally found you again, after Mino took you away from me. Don't you think he has to be considerate a bit?"

Jiwon presses his lips together and sighs again.

And that's when Junhoe comes out from the toilet and tries to walk pass them as quiet as possible. But Namjoon decides to go against the bartender's will.

"Hey, there!" Namjoon calls Junhoe who stops his track right away in shock.

Jiwon sighs heavily as he knows what the other plans to do by involving Junhoe in this.

Namjoon nears Junhoe and quickly asks, "We need your help."

Jiwon grabs Namjoon's wrist, "Forget it—"

"What kind of help?" Junhoe asks.

"We just need you to guard us from Song Minho. Don't let him caught us. That's all."

Junhoe snorts, "And why should I do that?"

Jiwon smiles in awe again at Junhoe's firm response. As expected.

Namjoon grabs Junhoe's uniform collar in anger, "Do it or I will make you lose your job."

"The one determines that is my Boss, not you."

Jiwon smiles wider and snickers a bit. He doesn't want to do this initially, but somehow he feels like doing it after knowing that Junhoe is there. Plus, he just really needs it, after all. Especially when he remembers how lovely Yunhyeong and Donghyuk were before.

"Junhoe, please help us," and he gives a puppy smile to the younger in hope that Junhoe will agree to it.

Junhoe softly sighs before nodding while Namjoon scoffs at him.

They go together to an empty couple room and Namjoon warns him to not let Mino comes before the two disappears into the room, leaving Junhoe to look out for them.

The bartender sighs and scratches his head, "Idiot. Didn't he realize that with me here will make Boss get even more suspicious? Fucking moron."

And he remembers the tiny smile Jiwon spares for him before he gets dragged by Namjoon into the room. He tries to hear what happen inside but no, the room is soundproof. He grits his teeth, I'm fucking angry now.

.

.

Jiwon flinches a bit when Namjoon begins licking and biting his nipples hungrily on the small bed, but then he smiles reluctantly.

"Brings back memories. You always used to bite my nipples back then, just like that," Jiwon teases the other, "Though I don't even have breasts."

"Fucking shut up," Namjoon slaps him hard and Jiwon instantly smiles as he just loves it.

"Turn around," Namjoon orders him and just like the old days, Jiwon obeys.

Without wasting much time, Namjoon shoves his aching dick into Jiwon's and hurriedly pounds into him while smacking his ass.

Jiwon moans, "More. Hit me harder."

And sudden imagination emerges before his mind. In which Junhoe having sex with a figure in a white coat, from what Jiwon sees the lucky school nurse that Junhoe had his first time with.

He can't believe he even imagined what would be the after-story of what Junhoe told him.

It is so hot; Junhoe removing the nurse's underwear while kissing her and her coat exposing her bra. With his dick inside her.

"Ah, that feels so good," Jiwon moans again while imagining all that, burying his face against the pillow to hide his reddened cheeks.

Bringing Jiwon back out of his own bliss, Namjoon drags him against the wall, "Put your hands against the window."

And while Namjoon continues, Jiwon notices from the window, the silhuoette of whom he recognizes as Song Minho, coming out of the limousine with Seunghoon escorting him into the club.

Ahh, whatever.

.

.

It has been a few minutes and Junhoe starts to get boring and still angry. He folds his arms, wondering if he should just leave the two or–

"Oh," he hears a familiar voice and he cursed internally when he looks up to see fucking Song Minho walking toward him, with Seunghoon behind him, whose face turns pale right away.

"What are you doing standing by yourself here?" Seunghoon asks quickly, before Mino starts investigating the younger.

Mino puts his hand in pocket while waiting for Junhoe's answer, with an amused smile.

Junhoe tries to keep a poker face as he tries to find a decent answer before Mino utters, "You know, I saw Namjoon's car outside," he approaches Junhoe with a bitter smile, "Is he in there?"

"I'm not sure who are you talking about," Junhoe tries. At least.

Mino beams, "Then, can I get in?"

Junhoe immediately grabs Mino's wrist lightly when Mino nearing the door and Seunghoon bits his lower lip seeing how brave Junhoe is. He is really scared of this outcome.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but I was told not to let anyone enter this room," he tries to sound as calm as possible.

Mino lets go of his hand from Junhoe's hold and chuckles, not quite in a good way. Let's see now.

"Do you have any idea what's being done to Bobby in there?" Mino asks and smiles in victory when Junhoe opens the door as fast as lightning, since he realizes that he wouldn't want to let Jiwon get hurt or anything like that.

Well, that did the trick. Mino smirks as he manages to make Junhoe triggered with just that words. 

Mino smirks again to see both Namjoon and Jiwon backfacing them, with Jiwon against the wall and Namjoon pounding into him so hard, that they don't even realize that there are other audiences there. 

Too busy having fun in their own bliss.

Junhoe feels himself angry again hearing Jiwon moans everytime Namjoon pushes himself into the other. Mino glances at Junhoe's reaction and smiles genuinely. He softly pats on Junhoe's shoulder who flusters with the sudden warm gesture.

Seunghoon also widens his eyes to see it. It is like the first time ever for Mino to even pat someone softly like that.?

Ignoring the dumbfounded ones behind him, Mino folds his arms while looking directly at the other two in front of him before muttering to get them back to the reality, "Wow, you two really didn't notice me here. I'm impressed."

Namjoon quickly stops and curses with a sigh, "Damn it."

Jiwon just plops down to the floor right after Namjoon pulls out of him. He smiles to himself knowing that Junhoe is watching all of this.

He hears Mino saying something to the others, probably Junhoe and perhaps Seunghoon, he doesn't know, as he is still backfacing them, unable to move just yet. Namjoon's is too big, he always has a hard time everytime the other fucked him, back then.

It was a long time ago, anyway. So his small hole cannot adapt well yet with Namjoon's.

"You guys can leave first. I can take it from here," Mino says.

He gives a smile before turning back to the scene in front of him.

Junhoe frowns looking at Jiwon's exhausted state; he is still panting heavily for goodness sake.

"Yes, Sir," Junhoe replies and comes out of the room with Seunghoon who reluctantly follows him suit.

Mino sits on the chair when he hears the door closes while Namjoon wearing his pants back.

"What brings you here anyway?" Mino asks while his eyes diverting to Jiwon who is finally out of it and begins to stand.

Namjoon sighs as he helps Jiwon up, "I'm sure you know about one of my boys got beaten up by that Jinwoo or whoever he is."

Mino laughs as he remembers it, "AH! Oh, so you are here to ask for compensation or what?"

Namjoon glares at him, "I just want an apology. That's all."

Mino smirks, "Apology?" He laughs again, "What bullshit. Your boy was the one trying to hit on my beloved driver, Jinwoo and somehow crossed his line, so it's not entirely our fault."

Namjoon sighs and glances at Jiwon, ignoring Mino, "Thank you, anyway. See you again, later."

And he proceeds to leave before Mino stands and stops him, "See you later?  Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Why?" Namjoon gives him a challenged gaze, "Oh, is he yours?" 

Mino scoffs, "Yeap, he's mine. You sold him to me, remember?"

Jiwon sighs as bad memories begins to reside his mind again.

"You were the one that asked me to sell him to you!"

.

.

Junhoe stares at the glasses in front of him fiercely. It has been half an hour, but the three of them are still nowhere near his sight. He wonders what happens now?

Is Jiwon gonna be fine?

As if answering his question, he finally sees Jiwon escorting Namjoon out. The latter still manages to cup Jiwon's cheeks while saying something before he left. And Junhoe sees Jiwon gulping his saliva down hardly before turning around and naturally locking his eyes with Junhoe's, back at the counter.

Junhoe cannot help gazing him with somewhat angry look. And a little bit of a frown.

Jiwon smiles lightly, "Cute."

.

Meanwhile, snapping Junhoe out of staring contest between him and Jiwon, he hears someone calls his name, "Goo Junhoe, is it?"

The said man looks up to the voice of the person asking for him in front and instantly bows, "Yes, I'm Goo Junhoe, Boss."

Mino smirks a little, "I see you haven't quit."

The bartender's eyebrows furrow hearing the unexpected remark from the other, "Sorry?"

Mino takes the seat in front of the bartender before asking without further ado, "Do you know any martial arts?"

Junhoe once again flusters at the question and calmly answers, "Um, jujitsu.?"

At that, Mino finally remembers, "Right, I do hear that you know Jinhwan from attending the same jujitsu class."

Junhoe almost pees himself.

"Where... Did you even hear it?"

Mino giggles but decides to ignore his question, "I love how you are so firm with everything. That's why I like you. I even had small thought of wanting to recruit you into my gang."

Junhoe almost lost all his will to live.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but I'm not interested with a gang."

"I know," is his reply and Junhoe is really scared of whatever outcome from this man.

He still cannot read Song Minho.

He isn't even sure if Song Minho really likes him or just wants to test him or something.

He is fucking dumbfounded.

"I'm thirsty." Mino utters.

"What would you like to drink, Sir?" Junhoe coughs as he snaps out of his own thoughts.

Mino smiles, "Um... I–"

"Two Martini, please," Jiwon says in a hurry as he takes the seat beside Mino.

The latter chuckles, "Aigoo, you know me too well, babe."

Jiwon only shrugs and pours a glass of mineral water for himself and drinks it while waiting for Junhoe to finish preparing their drinks.

"So, was it that good?" Mino asks Jiwon with a bitter laugh, "I can't believe you would cheat on me behind my back like that."

"I'm not even yours to begin with," Jiwon responds quietly.

Mino bits his lower lip, "Oh, okay. Yeah, you are right, anyway," he lets out a reluctant laugh, "You only find me when you need to be wrecked."

Jiwon sighs.

Junhoe presses his lips together hearing the conversation. As he arrives back to the front with the drinks, he hears Mino says with his chin resting on his hand, looking for Jiwon and might as well Junhoe's reaction.

"They said you are a masochist, but you just love pain because you want Yunhyeong to treat you."

Hearing that, Junhoe stops pouring the drink to the two of them.

Mino smirks when he sees that. "Hey, newbie. What's with the pause?"

Junhoe coughs and apologizes before continuing to pour the drink into Jiwon's glass.

Meanwhile, Jiwon's eyes flutter hearing the comment about him. It makes him question himself a bit. "Huh.?"

Mino offers an amused smile this time, "Why? Haven't you noticed yourself?"

Jiwon turns silent thinking about Mino's words.

Mino chortles, "It's unfortunate that even Yunhyeong didn't realize how you want only him to treat you everytime you get hospitalized because of me."

"Oh, that's–" Jiwon presses his lips together, unable to find words as a response, while Mino only smirks again as his eyes turn to Junhoe's direction who is trying his best to make himself busy at the back.

He takes the glass and sips on it before turning to look at Yunhyeong and Donghyuk who are talking with each other there.

He snorts, "You really need to move on. As far as I see, he really have no feelings for you–"

"It's none of your business," Jiwon murmurs and dunks down his liquor.

Mino chuckles, "You might meet other people who love you sincerely, if only you open your heart to them," and his eyes divert to Junhoe's direction with a small smile.

With that, Mino stands and leaves after leaving a chaste kiss on Jiwon's cheeks.

Jiwon scratches his head even it is not itchy at all after that. It was so complicated.

Everything.

He sighs and looks up.

There, Goo Junhoe with his frown, again, staring at him as if wanting to burn a hole into him.

Jiwon smiles genuinely, "Hey."

"What?" Junhoe unwillingly responds.

"You have been staring at me for awhile now," Jiwon says with a cheeky smile.

"I... Have.?" He asks Jiwon back, only now realizing that he is making it obvious. Dang.

"If you actually got a problem, why don't you say it?"

"Why do you think I'd have a problem?" Junhoe is still at that, asking him back.

Though, Jiwon is actually liking how this conversation goes.

He can feel Junhoe is gonna be so cute later.

"Because you have been looking so fucking mad for some time now," he counter-attacks the younger in hope of some cute reaction from Junhoe.

"I'm not mad!" Junhoe defends himself with his cheeks turn red immediately.

Yes, that's right. Cutie.

"Okey, fine. You're not mad. Okay?"

Junhoe only huffs out in response before continuing his work back.

Jiwon really loves this.

He doesn't know it will be so fun to tease Junhoe like this. He never thought Junhoe is very cute like this. 

Well, he has always thought Junhoe is a fucking handsome lad.

Always.

.

.

.

A few days after that.

Junhoe looks around the cafe that he always frequents to and smiles when he sees the person that he is supposed to meet here.

"You are late," Junhoe says with a frown to the other.

"I'm sorry, I was caught in traffic before coming here," he tries to reason and Junhoe snorts, "That's too ordinary. You should have at least prepared better reason, Daniel."

"Okay, I'm sorry," Daniel chuckles and sits in front of the other.

Junhoe also smiles lightly, feeling excited to finally meet his bestfriend from the force.

Well, actually, he is more excited to know about something. He looks at Daniel with anticipating gaze.

"Look at you being impatient," Daniel laughs, "Don't worry. Everything you want to know is in my hands."

Junhoe grins, "You... Find out everything?"

"This is Kang Daniel, okay?" He makes a proud face, "I'm the best at finding people and information about them–"

"Cut it out," Junhoe stops him quickly before Daniel starts blabbering, "Now, tell me about the history between Song Minho and Kim Jiwon. And, Song Yunhyeong."

Daniel smirks, "Sure, bud."

Junhoe smiles, "Start."

"First of all, yes, like what you have said to me, Kim Jiwon and Song Yunhyeong are childhood friends. But what you don't know is, they actually started to get close during high school. For unknown reason, but they start to always spend time with each other only during high school."

Junhoe furrows his eyebrows as he still wants to know more about why they only get close during high school when they know each other since their childhood. 

"Okay. Now, for your question of how or if Song Yunhyeong and Song Minho are connected or related to each other or something," Daniel smiles excitedly, "Yes, there is a connection between them."

Junhoe widens his eyes curiously, "Are they brothers??"

Daniel burst out in laughter, "You are so dumb. Just because their family name is Song, how could you think they are brothers?"

Junhoe pouts, "Just... In case," he frowns, "Stop it. Stop laughing at me and continue."

"You are really impatient you know," Daniel chuckles again before proceeding to continue, "Okay, and what I mean by there is a connection between them is... Hmm, how do I say this," Daniel sighs, "It starts from the hospital owned by Song Yunhyeong's father."

Junhoe's eyes round again, "Yunhyeong's father has a hospital?"

"Had," Daniel regretfully corrects him, "The hospital that Song Yunhyeong is currently works at. It was his father's."

"I see," Junhoe nods understandingly, "But what's with the past tense?"

"Do you know that the hospital is now owned by YG?" Daniel asks out of his own curiousity.

"YG? Song Minho's leader??" His eyes get very round now.

Daniel nods.

Junhoe sighs, "It now makes sense then." He says as he remembers the time when he and Jiwon went to the hospital to send Yunhyeong's lipbalm and there was a doctor there insulting Jiwon with the mention of Song Minho.

No wonder even the doctor knew. Junhoe sighs, And I was wondering how did even the doctor at a hospital know about the rumor of Jiwon and Mino. It didn't make sense before, but now, I finally understand.

"Not long after Yunhyeong's father died, YG wanted to purchase the hospital from Song Yunhyeong's family as the building worth billion dollars at that time, but yeah, the family didn't agree. At that time, Song Minho was the one in charge of persuading them to sell the building to them."

Junhoe nods again, "Okay, so that's the connection between them."

Daniel also nods as a reply to Junhoe, "And that's when Jiwon came into the picture."

Junhoe furrows his eyebrows, "How?"

"Jiwon somehow found out that Song Minho was seeking for that building, so he went to the gangster to... Beg him not to buy the hospital from Yunhyeong's family. And as expected from the gangster, he wanted Jiwon's body as an exchange. That's the deal."

Junhoe snorts. "So, that's how Jiwon hyung is stuck with Mino."

Daniel smiles reluctantly as he is actually not telling him the full details of what he found out. He just can't. 

"So yeah, he is a gangster after all. He broke the deal and still bought the hospital."

"He's a fucking bastard," Junhoe clenches his teeth in anger.

Daniel giggles and continues without further ado.

"But, as some kind of an appreciation for Jiwon's effort to save Yunhyeong's family, Song Minho actually sponsored Yunhyeong for his medical study until he achieved his dream to be a doctor. And Yunhyeong also has an easy way to work at that hospital in the end. So, it's a win-win situation now."

Junhoe sighs. "But it's still unfair for Jiwon hyung."

Daniel smiles, "How so? He is able to help his friend for pursuing his dream eventually. Right?"

"Does Yunhyeong hyung even know about this?" 

Daniel shrugs.

"How about the other one that I asked you to find too?"

Daniel chuckles, "About Kim Namjoon?" 

Junhoe nods.

"Kim Jiwon's uncle had a fucking huge debts with Namjoon's gang, which is under YG as well, but different jurisdiction. So, somehow, he sold Jiwon to Namjoon's gang in order to settle his debts with them."

Junhoe scoffs, "How can they just treat him like an object like that?"

Daniel can only shrugs.

"And, somehow, someday, Mino found Jiwon there and decided to buy him from Namjoon, and let him free instead."

Daniel senses the furrowed and confused look on Junhoe's face and laughs silently.

"Song Minho let him free first, but you know, he is a gangster, after all. He told Jiwon to pay him back anyway while letting Jiwon to follow him everywhere." 

Daniel smiles as he likes that part, "I actually think Mino wanted to recruit Jiwon into his gang."

Junhoe huffs out in response. Not liking it a bit.

"While following him, that's when Jiwon found out about Mino pursuing the hospital belonged to Yunhyeong's father."

"I see. That's how all of them are tangled up in this."

Daniel smiles handsomely.

"By the way, how did you even find out all of these? I know you are great, but this is very impressive. I seriously gotta admit it."

Daniel smirks, "There's actually someone undercover in the gang." Close enough to gain all of these information.

Junhoe stares at Daniel with a mortified gaze.

"Then, why the HQ bother assigning me to these assignments, for fucks sake???!"

Next Chapter.

Junhoe returns home with a downhearted feeling after learning all about Jiwon that he doesn't know before.

He knows there are still more that he doesn't know, but still, even the little fact about Jiwon makes him wanting to save Jiwon from all dangerous objects. He only wants him to be happy.

He opens the door and is welcomed with the image of Jinhwan watching the TV while laughing together with Jiwon on the couch.

Before Jiwon grins widely at him and waves happily.

Approaching them with an oblivuous gaze, he finally hears, "Junhoe, Mino hyung assigns you to be my bodyguard during my photoshoot at Hawaii."
