IOU

"Where are you taking me? Yichen would be looking for me." Mingze complained, but he was snuggling in Yichen's chest, his eyes drooping ready to sleep.

"you keep mentioning Yichen. Who is he? Is he more handsome than me?"

"More handsome…" 

Fen Yichen chuckled until they arrived in front of the red sports car. This red sports car was supposed to be his gift to Xie Mingze on his 18th birthday, but it was rejected by him.

Well, it was true he couldn't even drive it because he doesn't have a license. 

***

'Fuck where the hell am I?' 

Mingze winced as soon as he saw the unfamiliar ceiling, he clenched his aching head from the hangover. All he remember was sitting in the karaoke booth and closing his eyes for a while.

He looked at his clothes and saw that he was wearing only his boxers. Mingze muttered a curse under his breath. Did he have a one night stand with anyone? If it was with a girl he would really be a douchebag. He's gay, so did he even manage to raise it up? 

If he was with a man, hmmm nothing is hurting. His backside doesn't hurt at all, according to the internet it should hurt for the first time. Is he not gifted? What the heck happened last night? 

The sound of water splashing on the ground was heard. Obviously, someone is in the room with him. Xie Mingze couldn't deny reality anymore. His precious first time wasted on some random person. It's his fault too, so he couldn't cry bloody murder.

The person who got out of the bathroom was familiar, he was only wearing a single towel on his strong waist. There are obvious bite marks on his neck, turns out it was Fen Yichen. 

"Fuck, it's you?"

"Good morning, so you're already awake."

Fen Yichen had the leisure to greet him, while he was slowly crumbling. He sigh, he is not some douchebag he should take responsibility with Yichen. Mingze doesn't like him, but if he tainted his straight boss, then the least he could do is take responsibilities for his actions.

"I'm sorry for taking advantage of you, I'm willing to marry you." With gritted teeth Mingze said. He is not the type of person who would taste and would just leave them aside. 

"This is the first time I've got a proposal after I got off the shower." 

"This is no time to be joking, I know something happened to us lastnight. Just look at that marks on your neck. I'll take responsibility so don't worry, I will tell aunt Fen about what happen. I would also be willing to atone… "

Fen Yichen was unsure why the person who woke up is talking about taking responsibility. It turned out it was because of the red bite marks on his neck. Honestly, he was surprised too when he was bitten, but what happened last night was the most surprising. 

He turned at the white t-shirt hanging in the corner, it had a cartoon print design. It was not something he would wear usually, though he had no choice now since the suit he wore last night was ruined.

"You only bit me because you thought I was kidnapping you.If I had to say what happened last night…"

Feeling a bit scared, Mingze urged Yichen to just speak and get it over with. It would be easier to say it all at once instead of anxiously waiting for the knife to drop on his head.

"You puke all over my suit, because I'm afraid you'll puke over the car I decided to stay here in a run down hotel near the karaoke place."

The suit and the car? Puke all over… Mingze felt like he hit his foot on an iron plate. He wonders how much that would cost him. Can it be saved with dry cleaning? No matter how low-key Fen Yichen's clothes are, he knew how expensive his daily items are. One sock of his could cost his mom her entire year of salary.

Just the thought of it is enough to make him dizzy. The Fen family control the economy of city A from the phones to the clothes, even a child would know the Fen company. If you don't know them then you must've lived in the woods or you're lying.

"Then where is the suit now?"

"I threw it away because I don't think dry cleaning could salvage it."

His worst nightmare came true. Even if he worked day and night, he wondered if he could ever pay it back. 

"How much do you think your suit cost?" 

"Since it's on the less expensive side, probably 308,904 dollars. Do you want one too? We could match at my mother's banquet that's coming soon."

Mingze completely ignored Fen Yichen. His mind was already flying on the outerpace, thinking how a suit could cost that much. He also mentioned something about it being on the less expensive side. Can Yichen accept IOU and he would pay it per month? If he remember correctly he only got 5 thousand dollars on his bank account. It's not even one fourth of the bill. 

He was doomed. He can't pay it, does he needs to pay until he's in his forties? Mingze tried to imagine his rusty bones still working almost 24/7 just because he ruined a suit. 

"Can I get an IOU?"

Even though this is the start of his nightmare, he can't dodge responsibility. His headache is not helping him think. Why did he have to drink that much? 

"IOU for what?" 

It was obvious they are thinking of two different things. 

"If its about payment for the bites its fine. I already put some ointment on it."

"Not the bite, I'm talking about the cost of the suit. I can't pay it right away, so if you give me an IOU that would be perfect for me."

Fen Yichen wanted to ask why he wanted to pay, then an idea sparked inside his head. He could use this to his advantage.
