@{H} Jeonghan [[ Sorry; I forgot to answer this one ;; I'm finishing it though ]]

"What are you saying, Jeonghan..." Seungcheol clearly disapproved of what he was hearing and yet he had no explanation for the human's family disaster; he wasn't there and he knew nothing about it. Somehow humans had ways to be actual demons to each other in a way that almost ruined it for actual demons. It felt unfair to now be subtly stealing the other's energy when he had nothing for him at all. Seungcheol had succeeded at making Jeonghan think he wanted to do him good when all he had in mind was to lure him and feed on him. "I don't get how they could just suppose you were worth nothing when you were this young." Still he shook his head and hugged the human tightly, thinking he should give this one a break. He only had himself to rely on and without vitals, he'd become useless at work and he'd be poor, too poor to make a iving at all.
"I have been around for a while..." he said and it really meant nothing; he had been a demon for a while, he simply didn't wander the village as much as he recently did. "I started working here only a month ago though."
He the human's hair, knowing he'd be falling asleep anytime, because his mere scent was meant to drain humans. "The memories of a family are distant, luckily they don't define me at this point, I am just happy I got to meet you. Rest assured I'll work your shifts for the next two days, don't even push yourself out of bed alright?"
Seungcheol wasn't expecting any answer when he kissed the other's forehead, pulling his own last string to put the human to sleep. He didn't plan on carrying his initial plan as planned. He figured he'd just keep a distant eye on Jeonghan at work.

@{I} Seungcheol [] SLR ;;

With Seungcheol securing him to stay before he leaves for work, which is for a few more hours within this night of storm, Jeonghan felt at rest and peace and even blushed a bit as the older male now wrap his arms around him yet again, giving him off this bizarre feeling, same when he saw vague parts of his dream. Shaking his head to keep it off his mind, the younger male's lips tugged up in a smile the moment he heard the latter's words. "Nothing beats such comfort and warmth. I'll take that." He smiled softly and snuggled closer to the older male's body, which Jeonghan's skinny one pales in contrast. The feeling of peace once again towered over Jeonghan and it's as if the weather is fine, his mind's all on the question he heard. "Three years. I was fifteen when my parents left. They figured they can't keep someone like me who's going to be useless to them. They felt like my existence up to my fifteenth year is already a burden. Even without a word, I had made them feel that I understand and they also left in the same manner." Jeonghan softly said and continued, though it already hurts because he never expected to be abandoned at an age where he needs his parents the most. "I woke up with their things already gone. I found an envelope with only money to start from and that's the last time I saw them. Pretty sure it made me think so much if I am really their son or not. Despite the doubts, I am still thankful for them up to this day for raising me." Jeonghan smiled softly and felt himself getting sleepy again with Seungcheol rocking his body in his arms, giving off the same feeling as if he's in a swing. "How about you, hyung? How long have you been in this village?" Jeonghan asked in return in a soft voice, almost burying his face against Seungcheol's face as he felt the urge to yawn, trying not to fall asleep yet since he wants to know more about the older male.

@{H} Jeonghan Seungcheol shook his head lightly and took another sip of tea before he saw how scared Jeonghan was. "Sure I will stay until I leave for work."
He wrapped his arm around the other's shoulders, fully aware of the uncomfortable memory it might give the human. His thumb was stroking lightly the other's clothed shoulder, looking at him closely.
"I'm no match to this storm, but if you feel better when I'm around then I'll keep you as close as possible." This was a discreet wink to the promises he had made in the dream earlier but it felt as if the other didn't expect him to be like in the dream. "You won't need to hide in the closet alone anymore."
Seungcheol rocked the human in his arms after setting his cup aside. "How long have you been o your iwn Jeonghan ?" he asked, settling down and pulling the other as close as possible while he distracted him with questions to help him find sleep.

@{I} Seungcheol As time passes by, Jeonghan's getting way more comfortable towards Seungcheol more than he did a few hours ago. It's most probably because he saved him, took care of him and even stayed with him but that vague dream of his is just giving him more all of this warm feeling he gets from the older male. Getting a sip of that tea after Seungcheol did, Jeonghan finally turned to the window right above his bed and it made him shiver at the thought of thunder and lightning. "That storm's not going to calm down until the next morning." He mumbled worriedly and looked down his lap then back at the older male. "I'm not sure if it is okay to say this but I have this fear over thunderstorms. If I am well and I can stand I just usually hide in my closet because I feel safe there. My parents never comforted me and just let me deal with it and that's how I go through storms and such. Weird, right?" Jeonghan tried to joke and shake off the feeling of fear but as soon as a thunderstorm roars, his body started to tremble a bit. He knows it would be so uncomfortable but he wants to just hide. "H-Hyung, can you sleep here until the morning? I can't hide inside the closet. . .so. . ." Jeonghan shyly mumbled, eyes on his lap as he hopes that the older male would just hold him again until he calms down and falls asleep.

@{H} Jeonghan Jeonghan only looked more flustered after he was given time alone expecting Seungcheol's return in the bedroom. He went as far as to remind him he clinged in his sleep. Now despite being an Incubus, the oldest blushed lightly, biting his inner cheek to lessen his smirk. "That does sound like something I'd do though I'm not used to sleeping next to someone. I'm an all time deadweight." he said, referring to his likes for silly jokes, the kind that would earn him sighs and punches by the end of a day at work.
He was amused by how close to jump Jeonghan was at every move, every word but he didn't let it show too much. Instead he carefully placed a hand on the other's shoulder to reassure him, calm him if he could, this was the normal life and he wasn't supposed to be aware of what went down in the dream.
He shook lightly his head and once he had settled next to Jeonghan, he took a sip of tea as well. He wasn't as thirsty as the human must be but it felt better to accompany him.
"That's quite a storm..." he commented, looking by the window as rain rattled against it, thunder and lighting at their best. "Maybe I'm cradling you because I'm secretly cuddly in case of that kind of weather..." he said, eyes captivated by it when he started giving hint that would only trigger the human. "It's foolish, I'm usually just fine, alone at home." He was waiting for Jeonghan to come true about his fears, hoping he would have a formal authorization to cuddle Jeonghan again.

@{I} Seungcheol While the older male was away, Jeonghan can't help but think of his dream. Everything felt so real that he can still feel every touch and kiss. How it felt as if his skin is being touched by a hot rod as Seuncheol ran his calloused hand over his smooth skin. Every single detail's imprinted in his head and that's something he is not used to and for one, it is the very first time he had a dream with such ism and he can't stay still because of it. Heaving out a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Jeonghan then heard footsteps coming up the stairs and he knew in an instant that Seungcheol's coming. Trying to shift himself up to at least rest a bit against the headboard of the bed to be able to drink and eat.

"That's great, hyung. I was worried that I moved too much to the point that you can't sleep or that it's uncomfortable because you were cradling my body all throughout the night." Jeonghan shyly said and just watched the older male clean the floor. Upon having the latter's attention again, the younger one can't help but think of the dream again, making him unconsciously blush at the thought. "Yeah. . . kind of accepted that fact while you're downstairs. I really can't get up and my body's too beaten to even move around." He tried not to stutter and glad that it worked but as he heard that question from the older male, Jeonghan almost rejected the cup of tea as the older male motioned the cup towards him. Holding it, Jeonghan shook his head. "U-Uhmm, it's nothing. Just thought about something. . ." He mumbled and looked down at the cup to calm himself down. Taking a sip, Jeonghan lets out a soft moan upon feeling the hot liquid travel down his throat and warm his body up. "This is pretty good, hyung. Thank you for taking care of me." He smiled softly, not wanting for the latter to mind what he said since it will be his death if Seungcheol asks since he can't pretty much lie about anything when asked.

@{H} Jeonghan [[ no worries ^^]]

The incubus paced in the kitchen, waitng fr the water to warm up and suddenly went to look for something the owner could snack on. He wanted to put him at ease if he could, he would need to keep him close so that next time he'd try a dream the other would still welcome him. He walked back in the room with a tray, a tea pot, two cups and biscuits. He saton the edge of the bed on Jeonghan's side and noted the flush on his cheek. He rested the tray where he had been laying and cautiously helped the human sit regardless. He hoped Jeonghan wouldn't shy away, he'd have to act oblivious either way.

"I have a deep sleep, I didn't even feel the rain on my tshirt." he said and an actual shiver ran down his spine. He'd have to remove his top to not be expected to catch a cold he definitey wouldn't catch since he fed on Jeonghan already. "Are you cold?" he asked as he hurriedly wiped off all rain droplets from the floor with a tissue he then threw to the bin. He went to clean his hands again and came back to sit on the bed again, looking at Jeonghan. "You will really need to stay in tomorrow, you're going to be too tired I bet. Here drink some, you look like you saw a ghost." he commented and offered gentle smile along with a cup of tea.

@{I} Seungcheol [] Sorry for replying this late ; ^ ;

Sure, Jeonghan is injured but the younger male felt something else. Aside from being dead tired and dizzy, he feels as if his body went through some strenous activity that he wasn't even aware of. Upon hearing the older male's words and explanation, Jeonghan easily believed them and he's back to being quiet as he watch Seuncheol move within his room and dry his face that had been dampened by the open window.

Not really minding the storm now, Jeonghan felt warm yet again the second he felt Seungcheol this close to him. He's not sure why but a certain feeling of deja vu yet not this very situation has happened clouds over him and he can't put his finger on it. Hearing how the older male's still going to prepare something to drink, that's the only time he realized how dry his throat felt. "Tea, please. . ." He softly and weakly mumbled, a soft smile across his lips.

As soon as he felt that touch on his cheek, Jeonghan felt shy with the images flashing right before him as he remembers a certain dream he just went through. While waiting for Seungcheol, Jeonghan closed his eyes momentarily until he spaced out, staring on the small droplets of water on his floor as he goes back to that dream of his. He never felt such shyness over him upon recalling everything. He's not sure how he's going to face Seungcheol because for one, he never should think of such dreams but he still did, making his cheeks heat up, ending up in his blushing unconsciously as he await the latter's return.

@{H} Jeonghan It was all gone: the dream had faded to nothingness and it was just them in the small bedroom, his back wet with the unwanted night rain shower. He felt the human wiggle away and as much as he wished for Jeonghan to remain still, he couldn't lock him in, because he was supposed to be deep asleep. He kept lying still however, the other's delicious moans echoing in his mind. Just a minute ago, Jeonghan wanted him that much, he had been dreaming of things he had never experienced and he had wanted it to continue.

Seungcheol blamed himself for failing at reassuring the dreamer; he could have made him believe that there was no pain at all. It was his choice to be close to reality, his mistake. Jeonghan could have been misled because after all, this was just a dream and nothing fed Seungcheol better than a well ordered dream.

He faintly frowned upon hearing his name at first, faking it just okay until he felt Jeonghan move. Now he had all reasons to fear Jeonghan wouldn't be able to stand very well, because of all the physical energy he had drawn from him with the dream.
"Mm?" he hummed as he slowly opened his eyes and shivered as if he only realized his back was damply cold. ".." he said under his breath and got up by his side of the bed to quickly close the window, stepping onto the cold and wet floor.

He then turned to look at Jeonghan, knowing exactly why the other felt different. "Different?"
Seungcheol went into the bathroom to grab a towel and he kneeled by the side the house owner was laying to wipe his face softly, watching him closely. The feeding was other when the dream ended, but he had to keep a solid bond with Jeonghan so as to assure the other wouldn't shy away because of something he isn't supposed to know about. "It's catching up to you now isn't it? The aggression. It can take time, but it was bad, your body was apparently kicked badly so it's only normal you're feeling dizzy."
Not it wasn't for those reasons.

"I'll go to the kitchen to bring you water, or tea? What would you prefer?"
He made sure to not take notice of the still apparent bulge but he did the other's cheek kindly, teasing the other innocently. "You should just lay and wait for me, I will be right back."

@{I} Seungcheol [] SLR ; ^ ;

How his body craved for more of Seuncheol's touch is one thing that Jeonghan will never trade for anything else. Each brush of the latter's fingers against his skin felt as if it leaves an imprint against his body that the feeling of it lingers. His mind is slowly melting into the hot pot of clouded pleasure and he's far too deep into this lust filled dream that his own desire gives off too much energy that will make him feel tired yet he's clueless to everything that Seungcheol is manipulating.

"Mmmngh~ S-Seungcheol hyung~" Jeonghan's soft voice that is at the verge of breaking echoes inside the room the second he felt the older male push in a digit in his tight and warm heath. He can't comprehend the feeling but it is something foreign but his body is responding quite well just after a few minutes. Letting out a ragged deep breath, the younger male wanted to cling onto the latter but can't and settled onto gripping the bed sheet.

His body squirms, his chest heaves as he writhe with each of a finger inside Jeonghan yet in his reality, he is far from waking up. Though sprinkled with water from the rain, the protection Seungcheol made is keeping him warm. At this point of the dream where everything is bound to happen in Seungcheol's way, Jeonghan suddenly felt the bolt of pain.

It contrasts largely when Seungcheol did it with his fingers but the moment he felt him actually push in, it jolts a pain inside him and soon enough, his dream fades in the horizon, the water on his face is now starting to give him a feeling and soon enough he is rustling away beside the older one. "S-Seungcheol hyung?" He muttered, eyes droopy and feeling unusually tired than normal. Thinking it is probably his injuries, he looked around and noticed that it is still night time and a storm is raging outside, his window is open and harsh winds continues to barge in. "T-The window. . ." He muttered and tried to get up to close it but can't and not just because he is injured but it feels like his body got drained. "Ah. I feel different, hyung. . ." He trailed off and tries to stretch out from his curled up position, feeling his bones snap, making it a bit better for him.

@{H} Jeonghan The energy came in waves, as Jeonghan breathed. His own hips buckled down when he felt the human's reaction, loving how much he needed him, feeding on it. The dream was far off from what they were in reality: friendly colleagues, thus he had to succeed at driving Jeonghan crazy on his first try or he could lose him in a mix of shame, even an abuse after taste.

The moment the long haired young male begged him, Seungcheol threw his head back, his ecstasy peaking up in both reality and dream. Being wanted for a demon with his deseign was the best he could hope for a good energy draw. With just this, the incubus wanted to give all Jeonghan would ask for though the other would be down for the next twenty four hours. Taking it as a green light, he added a digit and this time he nibbled on the other's neck, teasing only because the pain of a bite could surprised a human out of his own dream.

Jeonghan was slow to allow him inside his warmth although he was so willing, and that feeling was already beating him in the illusion. He whispered the other's name again fingers scissoring the other in a feeling that would be softer than what reality would be, but this was a dream after all. He only wanted Jeonghan to feel uneasy with it so that he wouldn't be too surprised. When he pulled his fingers back the incubus swiftly positioned himself at his prey's bottom, using both hands to support his thighs and unlike what he'd do in reality, he did not look at Jeonghan in the dream. He kept on kissing him, stroking him, trying to drive the other through everything at once because he wanted all he could feed on.

Pain was part of the act, but once again he did not stress it as it would be in reality. This had to be a dream, his time to feed; but Seungcheol had no idea what idea the other had in his mind regarding the pain, the pleasure and usually experience did most of it, if not, then it was what he had heard about it. He moaned in the illusion and his hold strengthened in reality. He kept himself in check so as to not harden against the human's bulge, another task that made it more difficult to focus on all the sensations the other would feel.
He would beg the other to ease up if he could. "You're beautiful" he muttered quietly.

@{I} Seungcheol The reality of this dream is yet to dawn on Jeonghan but his mind kept with Seungcheol's game to the point that he's still sleeping peacefully in the latter's arms despite their body being sprinkled with water coming from the rain, that is yet again been altered by the powerful creature that continues to off energy in a way that will have a cruel effect on Jeonghan if this continues and if this ever happens again.

Each touch made it impossible for Jeonghan to comprehend anymore what is happening but his lust and "love" for the older male is consuming him faster than it should. Amidst the confusion with what is happening, his trust is strong and everything continues seamlessly in his dream.

Finally being exposed in front of Seungcheol, Jeonghan tried to cover up but his mindset of wanting the older male to see all of him is evident. Biting his bottom lip and leaving himself to just give a response to let the latter know that he's fine gave Jeonghan more time to feel Seungcheol's advances on him even more.

"M-Mnngghh~ hyung~" Jeonghan's face twisted in a mixture of indifference and pleasure. He never thought that this would feel like this yet all that Seungcheol did is one digit up in his still tight hole. With hands gripping onto the bed sheet, Jeonghan arched his hips up instinctively the second he felt the older male now start to move his hand and finger, drowning him in one go as the pleasure from it consumes his very being.

As his reality kept on being protected by the older male as for him not to wake up, his dream is cloudy and full of immense pleasure that Jeonghan's exploring with the help of the latter male. "I-I want you too, hyung. . . please. . ." He practically begged for it but he doesn't give the slightest care. His lust is eating every part of him real fast and how it gives him excitement and longing for more is strong enough for him to squirm underneath and utter words such as "please." The severity of his sanity slowly going into ashes is high but that's just how good Seungcheol is in this game, and Jeonghan is the pretty willing prey that is innocent yet giving.

@{H} Jeonghan The distorted reality could chase on as Jeonghan clinged to his sleep state as strong as he gripped the incubus. Seungcheol nibbled on the human's lips, pulling back each time to just look at his face, one he liked, one he wished to see going through unbearable ecstasy and lust. This angelic face could be his down fall, especially when reality would hit him with a not so indifferent body. It was so hard to not fall for how needs the other was, how his long and thing fingers curled on his skin desperately. Seungcheol nearly wished he had messed him up for real but he had morals to stick to.

The kiss Jeonghan pressed was a lot of energy to receive, so much he groaned into it, his hip rolling roughly as he was hungry for more too. It was almost easy to forget this was Jeonghan's first time at times and this would certainly lose him.
He felt his looks perfecting at the sound of Jeonghan's moans, he wanted to hear more of those and he nuzzled when the other stared into his eyes. He could see that the human was puzzled, unable to say a thing and yet willing to give himself. There was not prey like this one and he wanted to give him the time of his life even if it would just be a dream.

He breathed out softly and he pulled the other's boxers down, his eyes never leaving the other's face to keep the trust. Jeonghan was shy enough already to distract him from the most important. Rain rattled against the wide glass and droplets landed on them in the bedroom but he made the room warmer to explain the water on their face as sweat and the Incubust hugged the other's sleeping body warmly to prevent him from waking up.
He left the other's beautiful lips still while he inserted a digit inside him cautiously. There was nothing like this feeling so he just relayed the basic reaction Jeonghan was supposed to have, from a bit of violation to an incredible urge to feel more. He the other's tiers, just looking at his face and hoping Jeonghan would believe the feeling, that he'd want more of it.

He didn't need to speak, because thunder and rainstorm were hitting hard in the dream as violent in reality and he was way too occupied at easing a in his dreams to even mind the confusion between the noises from the reality impacting the dream. He closed his eyes lids and pecked the younger's lips repeatedly, moving his digit slowly and still letting the other feel his hip roll as a reminder of what he really wanted.
"Jeonghan I want you," he whispered in reality, words the other would feel from a single look into the eyes of the incubus in the dream. He waited for him to get used to his finger to poke the entrance with another, his free hand guiding the other's thigh up with firm .

@{I} Seungcheol Jeonghan knows that for a reason, this is being one of his most memorable moments. He had known Seuncheol for quite some time now and their relationship is just on the surface but now that they are sharing this bed and his emotion attached firmly onto the older male, Jeonghan's pretty sure that Seuncheol will not only leave marks on his body but also deep within him.

Each of the older male's hand felt as if he's a canvass being tainted by his paint or ink. Being the blank canvass that he is, every imprint of his touch lasts in the younger male's mind; something he is sure to think of even after this. As he felt the latter grind against him, Jeonghan's body spiked with different sensations yet one concentrated down his crotch, a feeling that he is relatively new at, making him feel shy and flustered.

"It's okay, hyung. I understand. . ." Jeonghan softly trailed off as the latter apologized. For him, feeling love for another is something that a person shouldn't be ever apologetic for. Jeonghan's body responded quite well not just in his dream but also in reality. The winds are violently knocking against his window but his body still finds comfort in Seungcheol's arms around him, unknowingly having a bulge against his pants as well as the older male grinds against him just so he could continue to feed himself in this lustful dream.

"Mnnggghh~" A moan now elicits from Jeonghan as the deep kiss is now paired up with Seungcheol's hands roaming around his body. He could feel every fiber in his being awaken by the sensations and pleasure Seungcheol is introducing him unto. The second the latter straddles him in this stormy night, Jeonghan found himself staring at the latter's attractive eyes, finding himself lost for words to say.

As he finds pleasure and lust in his dreams, Jeonghan's reality is far from that aside from the fact that the older male is holding him. His unconsciousness kept still since he's one to stay asleep for so long. Frowning at the sudden wetness against his face and parts of his body, Jeonghan curled up towards the older male and hid his face unconsciously in his chest, as if he's a kid finding peace after crying so long over something that had upset him.

@{H} Jeonghan Getting to know someone through their dreams was always easier. It fastened things up since the human brain was the best at connecting dots, jumping to conclusions. An incubus only had to maintain that they had met already, kissed already to ease the other who wouldn't see the dream turn as a nightmare. But as Jeonghan blushed at the mere touch of his lips, he realized it wouldn't be so simple because this human hadn't been touched by anyone that way, ever. He was still giving in at least, but Seungcheol would have to be extra cautious or his prey would wake up to reality.

He removed the other's plaid shirt and under his t-shirt to help him get used to the brush of his hand. The incubus did the same in reality to make it believable, for the dream to seem real to someone who maybe wasn't used to being caressed on his skin, in his back. He was very soft with his hands, lightly stroking but his front grinded against the other, leaving him no way to escape. He smirked as the human now clinged on him, really wanting the closure he was offering. It was fascinating how he could turn a dream into a real need by pressing on the right buttons: one hour into a dream and Jeonghan was confessing to a love he thought existed certainly even before they even met. "I know you do love me Jeonghan, Just like you know how much I love you. I'm sorry for never really hiding it though." he muttered and pecked the other's neck multiple times.

Jeonghan was the one to kiss him in the dream this time and he let him lead, curious as to how the other would do it and soon enough he smiled into it, his tongue wrestling against the other's expertedly. It was a kiss full of love in the dream and meanwhile, the incubus was gazing at the other's peaceful face, feeling a bulge against his crotch. He was used to keeping distance from his dreams so he had none, but he grinded against the other's body, wrapping his arms tightly around the smaller's chest while his mind made up a strong bulge in the dream.

He fastened things up in the dream, feeding on the other's lust, and he got Jeonghan in his boxer briefs in no time. He had a knack for skipping forward into dreams, usually to keep the dream as perfect as one would like. The same way, his clothes seemed to fall apart by simple tugs, the lightest touch from the human in the dream had his clothes dropping and by the time he straddled the long haired brunette, Seungcheol was in his boxers, his body toned reliably to how he really was. He made the thunder deafeningly strong, wishing for Jeonghan to need him, his protection, his warmth, and just when he lowered himself to peck the human's bare chest, the wind slammed the window open, landing cold water drops on their /sleeping/ bodies. He was so surprised by the noise that the dream faded and he closed his eyes in reality, hoping Jeonghan wouldn't wake up to that. They'd catch a cold if he kept the dream on, but he was devoring the other's emotional pleasure and he wanted more.

@{I} Seungcheol While the storm raged outside of both worlds for Jeonghan, his dream made a huge contrast with his reality. His body's way more relaxed than when they were travelling towards this mansion and everything is caused by Seungcheol. They have been workers in the bar long enough for him to know the older male but he didn't know that he had this kind of emotion towards him. Back then, he hated it when other men made advances towards him but with Seuncheol, he's perfectly fine with it.

As his body rests peacefully in his bed, breathing deep and steady once again in his reality, his dream is something else. The way Seungcheol held him as if he was one precious gem made him blush and bite down his bottom lip right after the second kiss. He then felt again those warm arms that pulled him in and led him towards the sofa that is in front of a fireplace, making the place all romantic, in contrast with the rain and wind hitting hard against the window.

"T-Thank you, hyung. For not leaving me. . ." Jeonghan softly said and lets the latter male lead him on. Soon enough his body's heat rises up with the older male slowly undressing him, which didn't matter as he feels at ease with Seungcheol. He was never aware of his own feelings but being confronted by it now, he realized how much he likes the handsome barman. Not only is he welcoming, he also protects him at all cost, which is something that Jeonghan haven't felt for the longest time since his parents left.

"Mngh~" A moan soon elicits from him as he felt the latter pressed a kiss on his lips then followed by a soft , making him blush profusely and feel himself hardening at what they are doing. In sync with everything, his body feels just the same in reality but he's too deep in his sleep and dream that Jeonghan's unaware of the bulge he's also having as he sleeps in the older male's arms. Those words struck Jeonghan's heart and in no time, he finds his arms wrapped around Seungcheol's nape and pulling him close. "No, hyung. Don't feel that way, please. I'm sorry if I only realized now how much I love you. You were always there for me and I was too blind to see it, but not anymore. I won't run away from my own feelings. Not now, not ever. I love you, Seungcheol hyung~"

Jeonghan softly and sweetly said, wanting to offer all of him tonight to the latter who made him feel alive and loved. "Never, hyung. I'll always stay by your side." Jeonghan softly said and pulled the latter male for a kiss that he made sure is passionate this time, wanting to make the older male feel all the love he have for him.

@{H} Jeonghan Seungcheol had to use all his might to have the dream and reality apart although storms raged in both. He needed Jeonghan to be scared by a much more violent storm in the dream and yet to be the comfort the other would need to not wake up. For an instant the dream nearly faded as he felt the other gasp lightly as he pulled him so close. He was a demon used to that kind of contact but a young man this fluttered by a simple hug was quite rare. He had the hint Jeonghan's first time would be in a dream and this made it all trickier than he had thought. The other's brain wouldn't make up for anything he wouldn't make him feel, and instead, Jeonghan would need extra patience and care, two words Seungcheol didn't exactly live by especially when he was this hungry.

In the dream, the incubus smiled after he had kissed the younger once. He could feel his prey's heart, thumping on those sides.
"Then I will make you forget about it all I promise."
He hadn't faced much resistance for a first kiss and it went on as easily for the second kiss. This mind invasion was all fine. And Seungcheol thought it was going just great, able to feed all he wanted since Jeonghan gave him a free pass until he heard the younger man mumble in his sleep. It was just another proof that the human was deep in the fantasy, that he wanted it but it was just as alarming, knowing that Jeonghan was maybe too close to his senses, the kind that could wake him up for a reality check if passions were unbearable in the dream.

Seungcheol hugged Jeonghan closely in reality but stepped away in the dream only to pull his prey to the sofa. He didn't think so much of the place because he wanted to feed on the other's lust as early as possible. He caressed Jeonghan like he was a soft doll, wondering how long it would take him to lean in to feel more from the dream as the room oscillated between darkness barely lighted up by the fireplace to very lighted up by the storm. He leant in and pressed kisses to the other's cheeks, lowering himself to his neck.

"The storm is nothing it will pass, but I will be here with you after it. I will always be with you Jeonghan."
This was a deadly promise to make but Seungcheol only let go of his preys if they passed away. He looked closely at the younger man, looking at him in reality as he invented the dream at the same time. Heavy rain poured down out the window and that same flood was happening outside the dream's lakehouse, the panoramic windows covered in water beads. He threaded the other's dark hair, nuzzling closely while his free hand roamed the other's back, his pinky lightly pulling the other's top up shortly with each circular move, teasing the skin as lightly. He pressed more pecks to Jeonghan's lips for him to get used to the feeling but kept himself from doing it in reality since he was apparently a . He had so much more energy to get from him Seungcheol's fingertips tingled in want. He gave his lip a alone, eyes opening to check how the other was feeling from this. He tricked the human into forgetting about the storm in the dream by decreasing the intensity of the made up storm, for him to properly feed. All he hoped was for the storm in the real world to not surprise them with a loud thunder.

He made the outline of his body a little more obvious to try and get his prey to ease ip to the feeling. "I've always loved you so much, it seemed mike you never really saw me" he molded the others memories, the kind of fact that Jeonghan would actually question in reality. "Please never let me alone in a storm either."

@{I} Seungcheol All the while, being in this safe place of Seungcheol, Jeonghan's consciousness and body is slowly submitting to the older male, not only is he physically attached to him but his emotions are all for thim to see and feed on, something that Jeonghan's not really aware of. As the older male explains where the lake is, Jeonghan's lips curled up in a smile with anticipation in his heart for the morning after this storm.

As the night deepens, the storm seems to do so too that had the younger male trembling once again the second another thunder struck with a lightning that illuminated the inside of Seuncheol's mansion, making him scoot closer to the latter. He's about to hide even more when he felt the other male pull him by his chest and hug him close, making him blush deeply and forget almost instantly about his fear when he felt that kiss on his forehead. As his body and mind succumbs to the latter, Jeonghan can't help but cling onto him as he feels as if it is only Seuncheol who will stand by him despite the weakness he is showing.

"H-Hyung. . ." The younger male trailed off upon feeling that kiss onto his lips, his cheeks almost crimson red as that is his first kiss. He could feel his heart race against his chest and in reality, it actually did. The dream is too good to be true but Jeonghan's falling deeper for it, for Seungcheol. Nodding to his question, he looked up at him and responded this time. "I want to, hyung. I-I want to forget about the storm, the fear I am feeling. . ." He mumbled shyly.

Letting Seuncheol hold him close and press another kiss on his lips, Jeonghan's unaware of the impending insanity that he's now halfway through. "Seungcheol hyung. . ." Jeonghan mumbled in his sleep, lips curled up slightly in a smile as he felt safer this time, snuggling up closer to the older male in his bed as the storm also progresses violently in their world of reality that Jeonghan is heavily pulled apart from.

@{H} Jeonghan "Just in the back of the house there is a terrace and at its edge is the lake."
He smiled and nodded at the plan the other was making. He wasn't sure Jeonghan would sleep through the wet dream he had planned for him but he wouldn't deny him the possibility of a longer stay in his little paradise.

He can feel Jeonghan's scared, he indirectly feeds of that fear for eventually, comfort comes at the price of closeness. What the Incubus wonderef was if the human would be comfortable with physical closeness, be it in the dream or in reality, closeness more significant than a friendly hug that is. After the lightning came a loud thunder, as if the storm would break the forest apart and finally reach his home. He turned quickly and pulled Jeonghan to his chest. Oh once he knew what his prey was most scared of, Seungcheol unleashed, special effects and everything to be the light in the other's nightmare, the only thing that would keep Jeonghan from feeling like this was a nightmare. The stronger the human would hold onto it the better energy feed he'd get.

He wrapped his arms around the other's chest and his hair softly, inhaling their scent in the reality hug.
"It's going to be okay, just focus on us, in here okay, forget the storm."
With this he pressed a long kiss to the other's forehead and pulled his waist intimately close. In the dream he had to make his body outline almost crush against the other's dream figure so that he'd feel the physical closeness. It was just so trickier than seducing in reality.
"I don't want to see you scared Jeonghan. I don't want to see you sad. When you're with me you're safe."
He pecked the other's soft lips in the dream, his face nuzzling in reality to lose the human in this game of attraction. "You know how much I love you. I will prevent you from feeling anything else if you want." This was the kind of promise he could make and hold his word for it for it was an incubus' goal: isolate the prey feed on them, weakening them, tiring them out and isolating them even more by this in a vicious spiral that usually killed the human after months of regular and full capacity use.
He nuzzled close waiting for the younger's agreement to press another kiss, and meanwhile the thunder in the dream were twice as violent as the real ones, lightning blinding if Jeonghan so much as tried to escape his eyes.

@{I} Seungcheol [] SLR ;;

Those words finally had Jeonghan falling deeper into this pit that he's unconsciously placing himself into, something that he is yet to uncover or may never at all because of this deception game that Seungcheol's pulling up his sleeves. Feeling for the first time that he is someone who now had brought a person a form of comfort through helping and trust, Jeonghan's smile showed up his face once again. Never did he imagine that he's gonna be this close to Seuncheol and he's glad about it. He feels strongly bonded to him and the younger male isn't yet sure if he's just attracted to the older male or something deeper.

As felt that comforting on his side, Jeonghan just smiled and looked over where the latter is pointing. "Oh. The lake. I love lakes. If the weather gets better the morning after, can we go near it? I can pack us some lunch if you want and since summer is near, maybe we can also take a swim?" Jeonghan enthusiastically exclaimed, thinking of more ways on how he'll be able to thank Seungcheol for being beside him and even protecting him through this storm that he fears the most. Not only he feels that he can trust himself onto the latter male but Jeonghan's quite attached already that he wants to visit him again after this stay and when the storm's gone already.

Listening intently to the older male as he tells more about his adobe, Jeonghan's mouth gaped as soon as the place becomes clearer and closer. Contrast to what he expects, it is a wooden mansion in this forest and in it's own way, it is charming and enticing, something that pulls Jeonghan way past his boundaries in his own dream as he surge deeper into his own pending doom once he's tangled too much in Seuncheol's manipulative strings.

Once inside his mansion, Jeonghan can't help but look around. Despite it's large vicinity, the wooden home is simple on the inside and it made him feel better, almost forgetting about the storm for a moment. When they reached the living room, Jeonghan kept close beside Seungcheol as lightning emerges from the dark and brooding clouds. "I know. I can see and feel it. I-It's scary. I have this phobia over lightning and thunder." Jeonghan explained and in his real world, as he sleeps in his own bed, Jeonghan curls up beside Seungcheol and holds onto him as his body unconsciously feels the storm as well, especially the second a thunder roars and fills the quite evening with its angry scream, making him hide behind Seuncheol in his dream.

@{H} Jeonghan "I'd never leave you alone in a storm."
Seungcheol smiled gently as if he had known the other's fear forever while he had actually just found out about it. Those were just a few words but he knew they would imprint in Jeonghan's mind and someday, the other would hold onto them to trust him just as much in reality.
"I trust you too Jeonghan; you saves me quite a few times too."
Dreams were an easy way to set fake memories that one wouldn't be so sure about. If Jeonghan could feel like these were well ordered favors to each other, they they'd be on the same step and they'd be like equals. This was a mirage that would only trick the human into believing they shared a strong bond, that he was just like him: human and weak at times too.

"You have to stop thanking me because you saved me too last time, I was anxious and lonely and you cheered me up. I will thank you loads again if you keep on being this grateful."
He smiled and the other's side comfortingly: what if his human decoy weakness was to be lonely? What if that made Jeonghan worry enough to walk to his lakehouse someday, what if it brought them closer in reality?
He had to control his smirk so as to not look as sly as he was and pointed at the lake they could see inbetween trees. "When you see the lake, you're almost there."

Seungcheol owned a wooden house on the shore of a wide lake, the widest in the forest of the damned. It was quite the huge mansion with a lot of windows and an anormal number of wide rooms he barely lived in.
"I don't feel the storms so much all thanks to the surrounding forest and there barely any visitors around but when people are lost, I happen to offer them shelter." he explained as he let go of the other's waist to hold on the other's hand again. He floor wasn't trippy anymore, a safe path led to his door which he opened with his free hand before pulling his friend inside.
"But this storm is so bad..." he said, looking by the wide window of his living room. The storm would come this close for Jeonghan to be at his weakest. It needed to and fortunately, an actual storm raged in reality too.

@{I} Seungcheol That voice partially calmed him down, probably no one else other than Seungcheol could do this. With the older male beside him, Jeonghan feels secure and safe. As those words resonated in his ears, Jeonghan looked up at the latter and just in time, a thunder struck, making him take step back yet closer to the male who's standing behind him. His body trembled with fear in every fiber of his body.

"It's time to leave. The storm is going to be too violent. . ." As soon as Jeonghan hears that, he felt that familiar strong hand pull him into the forest and in no time, Jeonghan's travelling as well with Seungcheol away from the brutal storm that nears every minute towards the village. It scared him even more to think that if Seuncheol didn't come he could have died in fear in his own home; alone and lonely. "Hyung, thank you so much. . ." He uttered gently.

As soon as he's done, the younger male observed the forest and immediately noticed how dark it is in here. Everything seems to be gray or black and as they walk deeper into this endeavor that will soon entrap Jeonghan tightly, cracks of small branches being stepped on echoes in this forest, something that makes him feel restless for some reason. Not only that, he can't see a thing ahead of them, nothing is in this darkness but withered trees and grass all around the place.

He was still in his reverie in this dream when he suddenly felt that strong arm around his waist. "Ne, hyung. I trust you. . ." Jeonghan smiled softly, unknowingly bounding himself deeper into a promise that he'll probably not recognize until further revelation. Hearing that they are heading towards a safe place, his lips curled up in a smile as he look up at him. "Hyung, thank you for looking after me and saving me yet again. . ." Jeonghan shyly uttered as he look up at the older male.

In his reality though, it seems as if everything is fine, though his body is getting even weaker while Seungcheol feeds off his vulnerability as Jeonghan lays in his arms in his sleep. Sniffling and muttering in his sleep, Jeonghan kept his feet on track as they walk along this path with the very same person whom Jeonghan thoughts that will help him fully in his life.

@{H} Jeonghan "I've been waiting for you, Jeonghan."
His voice was serene, he eyes focused on the other, a warm gaze never budging from the other's face while the wind blew, messing the other's long hair. He pulled them back with a brush of his palm. The storm wasn't meant to scare the other but it usually made his option shine brighter with a storm. The incubus felt all the more satisfied to see how the other feared that storm enough to jump in the trap. He breathed out warmly against the sleeping figure in reality when he felt him snuggle close. The closer they'd be, the more power he'd get in the dream and the more energy he'd reap.

His feet turn, white shoes in the used yellow grass mistreated by a lasting dry weather this storm would surely compensate for. He let the sound of heavy rain filter the air to indirectly urge Jeonghan as close to him in the dream as in the reality. He tugged on his hand kindly, pulling enough to let one heavy drop of cold water fall on the others hand, hinting on the shower they would reveive if the other didn't comply to follow him down in the dark forest.
"It's time to leave. The storm is going to be too violent."
He turned and walked to the dark trees which he didn't change from the reality. They had to be just as dark as in real life so as to lure Jeonghan in real life someday.

There would be a different atmosphere from the last time in the forest. No grass under the sun, no food upon demand, just dark trees, roots looping out of the gring, branches cracking sinisterly under their shoes, a heavy humid scent of fern, nearly choking those whe weren't used to it. But he let go of Jeonghan to wrap his arm around the other's slim waist and bring him closer.
"You don't have to be scared, just look at me and your feet will find the safest path. You will never trip if it's me you're looking at."
This was a trick of his, if Jeonghan kept his eyes on him, he'd clear the way for him and otherwise the human would trip again and again. He had to raise the trust the other put into him to then invite him into his own home. "We're going somewhere safe."

@{I} Seungcheol Feeling lithe and a bit fuzzy, Jeonghan finds himself at the edge of the forest yet laying down the ground. Sitting up, he rather felt strong winds around him and one look at the sky and he knows that a storm his coming. Getting up, Jeonghan dusts himself off and looked at the path going into the village, seeing that dark sky looming over the whole village. It scared him even more to think that he'll be alone in his house when the storm comes. If there's one thing aside from dying that he fears, thunder and lightning makes him restless and scared so much that he cries himself to sleep inside his closet where he feels safe with those walls surrounding him.

With the first strike, his body stiffens and from his peripheral vision, Jeonghan sees that familiar figure dressed in all white. "Hyung!" He exclaimed upon seeing Seungcheol at the boarder of the forest, he looked so serene in his clothing tonight that it seems as if the older male is shining. Something feels odd tonight but he can't put a finger on it. Looking back at the village, Jeonghan sees lightning from afar which made him take a step back yet closer to Seungcheol.

Trusting his instinct and as another lightning and thunder strikes, Jeonghan finds himself running to Seuncheol, taking his hand and looking up at him, quite terrified and slightly trembling. "H-Hyung, are you going to stay with me again? I'm scared. . ." Jeonghan felt that it is okay to be vulnerable around Seungcheol. With him being this naive, Jeonghan unknowingly binds himself into a man that sooner or later will take his sanity away.

Back in his reality, Jeonghan scoots closer to Seungcheol, clinging onto his shirt and burying his face against his chest as if he is holding onto his dear life. With eyebrows furrowed and eyes tearing up a bit in fear, Jeonghan keeps himself close to Seungcheol also in his dream, giving the older male the lot of power that he actually off from Jeonghan and his dreams.

@{H} Jeonghan Seungcheol was always amused upon hearing someone speak of worth. He was by all means the one who minded the least about fairness. Infact, his helping Jeonghan was maybe the worst thing that could happen to this innocent human who after being disappointed by humanity once and then chosen as the victim of a sly game that would sicken him, weaken him and maybe ruin him.
"You say that like you're such a sinner I shouldn't have consideration for you; you were the one being stolen from."

The demon shrugged lightly while he was taking note as to how lonely this human was. He wouldn't even need to isolate him, the other was pretty much handling everything alone. He smiled like it was nothing. Actually, Jeonghan would need to let him step in more often if he suceeded into his goals since he'd be sleepy all the time.
The moment Jeonghan leant against him, Seungcheol felt the tiny bursts of energy tickle his arms and legs. There was so much to reap he was tempted to get started very soon. He needed Jeonghan to trust him entirely so that he'd walk all fine in the forest soon.

Seungcheol laid down next to Jeonghan, on his back, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. He smiled at the demand and sighed softly. "I think I'd love to have a friend just like you."
And he reached for the other's hand which he held for a better lively feeling through the dream he would give him this time. He stood a few feets away from the human, facing the forest and not moving. It was night in the dream and there was a storm coming for the village. There was no one else but he was dressed in white, all in white, from his loose sweetshirt to his sneakers.
His dream self turned to look at Jeonghan, as if he was waiting for him all this while and he offered one hand.

@{H} Baekhyun Perhaps his curse could for once be transformed into a blessing. From birth to death, it seemed Vernon would be trapped in a limbo, the centre of a schism- never fully accepted by either his demonic nor human sides. When the promise of acceptance came from one, how could he refuse it?

It must have been treason- from any perspective, to not only be befriending a human, but having such fervent feelings for the male. Tempestuous as he felt, he couldn't bring himself to regret the decision. Things were going well with Baekhyun. He'd lost track of human blood, inadvertently split on his sadistic hands. If ever, Baekhyun was to find out, he believed he would become hysterical, leave him to fend for himself, and he'd know he had deserved the treatment. After months of barely speaking, however, he was painfully oblivious of his vacancy. He felt it was normal, perhaps even needed, and the tasks that had him awake at ungodly hours, were increasing in difficulty, drying his energy. After months, he had asked for Baekhyun to visit him at his home.


"Baek," he whispered, automatically snaking an arm around the latter's waist, pulling him forward to look at him. "I missed you," he says slowly, solicitous eyes scanned over the male, perhaps out of guilt, or mere narcissism, looking for anything which could give him a clue as to how he was feeling. He looks down at the male and allows a small smile to manifest his lips. He hopes the other male won't notice the subtle disingenuity of the gesture, though it's not purposefully fake, he's too tired to be candid. Even with the upturn of rosy lips, exhaustion is conspicuous on his features; from the deep purple puce that tints under his tebulous eyes, to the light discolouration of his skin, which is even paler than usual. He hides his true feelings well and keeps the smile plastered on his lips as he presses cool fingertips to brush through Baekhyun's soft hair.

He presses his lips to Baekhyun's forehead before reaching down to lace their fingertips, leading him to his couch and patting the space next to him. He looks over at Baekhyun, calm in his demouneour, though his eyes are a giveaway- glimmering with apologetic vigour. " I'm sorry for not being around that often," he admitts as he gazes lackadaisically at the other. "Tell me how things have been?" he asks after a few moments of silence, his voice raspy from lack of sleep, before placing a warm hand on Baekhyun's thigh and rubbing it lightly, lifting his legs to settle over his own as he caresses them.

[2/2]

@{H} Baekhyun It was never his intention, nor ever his plan to venture so recklessly into the depths of such an irrevocable tangle of trouble. It was the sort of misfortune that had nebulous consequences- a connected network of dangerous alliances, all utilising the system for their own benefit, blissfully unaware of their inveigling counterparts. It seemed that although the curse of a potent rebellious streak had always been present within his impetus, none of the light mischief of his past could compare to the fatal risk he had unravelled upon himself. It must have been the result of the epitome of his imtemperative nature that would cause him to join the ruthless crowd, those that disregarded human, supernatual and their own bloodline's lives. Mercy was a foreign word, unknown to the sordid allegiance.

It seemed as though it had all only happened mere days, even hours ago, that he had been initiated into the 'clan'. The nightmare began when he had been struck by night terrors, jolting awake and desperately unable to return to the warm waters of sleep, he vouched to explore the caliginous forest and breathe cool air into his aching lungs- a form of distraction, a temporary safe haven from the real world. However, dreams must come to an end, reality couldn't be escaped. He'd had been mistaken for a human, attempted to be beguiled and when their powers had no effect on him, they feared for their lives. Cambions were rare creatures which vastly overuled the strength of incubus and succubus blood, rarely intermingling with their trecherous, cunning halves, most chose to succumb to their human guise. It was often advantageous to live as a unoticed silhouette, rather than garish fire that was incongruous to seemingly all settings.

Such a fact, wasn't exclusive to his knowledge. They promised him the one thing he desired, the one thing he would kill for- the respect of others. It seemed trivial, childish even, but once the offer had been made, he found himself hallucinating, enchanted by the serpent's snare in the form of such a tempting promise. He took it with almost no hesitation, and in return, his services were required. He was part of a revolt against humans; he was instructed to lure them in and hold them hostage, deliver them and leave them to their demise. In return, his name would be spread, praised and feared.

As an illegitimate child of a succubus and a human, he preyed noone ever find out his secret. His human father as vacant as he was, would be as fictionous to others as he was to him. That was until he met his cynosure, someone he had the luxury of feeling safe with. For Baekhyun, Vernon would be only human. It didn't seem like a white lie, it seemed like protection from his predesposition.

[1/2]

@{I} Seungcheol Jeonghan can't really believe that Seungcheol's this nice. With all the time that they are together at the bar, knowing him at this level leaves the younger male trusting the older one far deeper than he probably should. Smiling softly at the older one as he wished to heal him faster. "Save your powers if you get one for someone more worthy, hyung. I'm not that much of a person to fuss over anyway." He chuckled softly and he's stunned that again Seuncheol would do such thing for him.

"R-Really, hyung? I mean, not that I don't believe you. I'm sorry but it's just that, I never really had anyone who did this kind of thing for me. I'm always alone so yeah. Been used to fixing things on my own." He smiled and saw that he's being motioned to take a hand and he did. Leaning against Seungcheol's sturdy body, Jeonghan lets the latter lead him to his bedroom, making him heave out a satisfied groan the second he felt that soft material against his body.

"Waaaay better than the couch." Jeonghan chuckled then made a space for Seungcheol to lay down. Moving do his uninjured side, the younger male slightly curled up on the bed and looked up at the latter. "Thank you so much, hyung. Tell me in advance what you need so that I can prepare for it." He smiled and he soon felt sleepiness looms over his body and a few minutes after, Jeonghan's fast asleep on his bed, lips curled up in a soft smile as he once again enter his manipulated dream land.

@{H} Jeonghan This was far more interesting. It was no contracted sealed by blood but it was just as strong to the demon and he'd make sure his favor would be honored in time.
"I will, Jeonghan." he said softly and smiled, feeling the other's eyes looking at him, actually seeing him rather than just acknowledging his presence. He did enjoy when he was looked at, when people fell for his looks, because this was what he was about, charms and mischieves.
"I only wish you would have superpowers to make you heal already." he said. And actually he had even better powers: those to transport the other into a parallele dream world where he could make everything feel so real and yet, removing the imperfections, the bruises, the aches.

"I'll find an arrangement with the boss, you shall stay home and rest tomorrow, at least let your facial cuts heal. You won't have any day deducted." he promised. By fear or seduction, he would toy with the boss, he had already. He'd even fill in for Jeonghan for a day, securing the other's trust in him. He would soon need vital energy and hopefully if the human was biased, he'd give in more easily, maybe even fall for him enough to not mind how tired and exhausted he'd feel because of him.
He rose an eyebrow at the suggestion and shook his head lightly.
"Your body needs a bed for a better rest." He got up and offered the younger a hand to lead him to the said bedroom. He didn't want to use the favor just now so he simply planned on resting by the other's side and give him more dreams so as to lure him better to his end of the forest soon.
"I'll stay by your side until you fall asleep if you need to feel reassured at least until you fall asleep."

@{I} Seungcheol Hearing how Seungcheol's dismissing him to say thank you had Jeonghan chuckling lightly because of his own actions. "I know, hyung. I'll never reject anything from you. Even a favor. If you need anything, I'll make sure to give it or help you out in every way possible." The younger lad smiled softly and looked at the older male intently. For once, ever since they started working together at the bar, this is actually the first time that Jeonghan's seeing Seungcheol this close and he must say he's really handsome, probably why others at work are ogling him.

Shaking the thought off, Jeonghan's lips pulled up in a smile as Seungcheol holds back his hand. That's it, from now on, Jeonghan would trust no one aside from his co-workers and especially this older male in front of him. Smiling at the latter's words, Jeonghan chuckled and playfully saluted despite his injuries. "Aye, Sir. I shall not forsake you in times of need. I will always help you, give you all of you need if you reach out to me. I promise~" The younger one smiled, unknowingly tying himself to a deal that he is yet to discover.

Getting that piece of word about him not going to work, Jeonghan nodded. "I think so too but what about the bar? We take turns to serve because we also get tired and the boss still doesn't know that I'm injured. My salary would also be surely deducted for next month if I don't go. . ." Jeonghan mumbled, pretty much worried because despite him living alone, it's already slightly a trouble to keep with his daily living. "If my bruise subsides by tomorrow, I'll go to work but ask to just get a lighter load." Jeonghan smiled and thought that if Seungcheol's going to spend the night here, he must send him off to his bed already. "Uhmm, hyung? If you'd like to take a rest, please just take my bed. I'll be fine here down the couch. I can manage just knowing that you're around." The younger male smiled and rubbed his eyes gently as he now feels tiredness takes toll on his body, wanting that sleep he needs since he's pretty sure it is already nearing midnight.
