Early Summer Morning

Yonghwa woke up to the sound of rustling in the room he peeked open sleepy eyes from beneath his quit it was very early morning

just before dawn but it was still a bit dark out, the sun not quite up yet but Jhaesun was awake and getting dressed to go somewhere

putting on his dark blue combat pants and a baby blue T-shirt with the military insignia on the chest the back of the shirt said

MARINE RECRUIT in big letters across the shoulders and lacing into combat boots on his feet

"where are you going?" Yonghwa asked him sleepily

Jhaesun turned around in surprise

"I woke you up?" he asked softly kneeling next to his bed he stroked Yonghwa's curls gently with one hand

Yonghwa nodded "why are you going out so early?"

"Well you've been here two weeks so far and I've been taking care of you and staying with you every day because you were injured, " Jhaesun said

"But I have to go back to training now so if you go back to sleep and wake up at the regular time around 8 am or so I'll be finished with training and I'll be back to spend the rest of the day with you ok?" he said

"cant I go with you?" Yonghwa asked

this surprised Jhaesun

"training is very hard Yonghwa the doctor said you need rest no strenuous activity remember no stress"

"but im all better now," Yonghwa said "The bruises have healed and im eating and sleeping well every day thanks to you" he insisted

"I'm even gaining weight since the two weeks I have been here already the doctor said so"

jhaesun sighed "yonghwa it's really hard it's not a place where you can play around

the training instructers are really strict and mean even"

"I just want to see what you do normally" Yonghwa replied

"I won't get in the way ill just watch on the side until youre done then ill come back with you ok"

"it's really early in the morning yonghwa aren't you sleepy?" Jhaesun asked

"if im awake already it will be really hard to go back to sleep" Yonghwa replied "please just take me with you " he begged

Jhaesun sighed giving in "all right you can come with me"

Yonghwa grinned "yay I'll go wash and come back really quick wait for me"

he threw off his quilt and grabbed his bath towel and hurried to the bathroom

Jhaesun sighed what was he going to do with yonghwa when he begged him for anything he couldn't say no he was too cute he was going to be in trouble all summer with him around

Jhaesun quickly looked for an extra pair of combat training pants and a t-shirt for Yonghwa to wear

when Yonghwa came out of the shower with his black curls still wet falling over his eyes and just in his boxers jhaesun swallowed hard

this boy was really too innocent jhaesun took the towel from him and put it on his head and dried his hair for him so he couldn't see his cute face

Yonghwa's milky white skin with glistening water drops from his shower on him

he had the kind of soft pale skin that attracted a person to touch a glistening water drop that was running down his back

Yonghwa was very slim and the type to have those dimples at the base of his spine and a seductive S line going down the middle of his back

which was where that water drop was running down right now that so attracted Jhaesuns eyes

Yonghwa already had all the signs of being a very attractive man when he grew up

Jhaesun used the towel to wipe his back gently "yonghwa listen to me" he said seriously

"I want you to be very careful and do not do anything when you go to the field no matter what you see or hear ok! dont say or do anything, just watch ok even if it seems like someone is being mean to me or anyone else dont gets involved you got that?"

"I got it " Yonghwa replied

"good here you can wear these it has a belt cause the pants might be a bit big," Jhaesun said giving him some clothes

"ok thank you," yonghwa said he got dressed the pants was big but it had drawstrings at the bottom of each pant leg that allowed him to adjust it and the belt allowed the waist to be tightened enough to fit

with Jhaesun's shirt tucked inside it was a bit extra baggy style on him down the legs because he was little and skinny but not too bad it was comfortable on his feet he wore sneakers

"hmm you need one more thing," jhaesun said grabbing one of his peak caps he put it on Yonghwa's head pushing his curls in under the cap so that it would fit on his head well but he still had black curls peeking

out around his face in a fringe "guess that will have to do for training" he said the hat had jhaesun's name on it

so if anyone saw Yonghwa they would know who he belonged to more or less

jhaesun picked up his backpack that was already prepared with the things he needed to take to training

"come on," he said to Yonghwa they quietly left the house Jhaesun and Yonghwa using the bicycle to ride across the base to the training ground

they came to a giant field where lots of groups of soldiers were exercising

and doing various forms of training on the other side of the field was a huge obstacle course

Jhaesun rode them to a group of soldiers who were just assembling Jhaesun parked the bike on the side of the field nearby and sat

yonghwa down on the grass next to it along with his backpack

"you stay here you can watch from here ok"

yonghwa nodded jhaesun joined the other soldiers and soon an instructor arrived
