Five


Three years ago
Seungcheol took a deep breath as he stood in front of the mahogany door, Woozi and the rest of his friends were standing behind him.

"Maybe we should just go" Woozi said looking pale.

"It's only a party. I was invited so I will come" He whispered smiling sheepishly to himself.

Woozi rolled his eyes "It's because of that stuck up brat isn't it?"

"Jeonghan?" Mingyu interjected and looked at Seungcheol whose two cheeks were already dusted pink. They all groaned.

Wonwoo sighed "He and those high society brats have treated us like shit for as long as we can remember. Besides, he's never going to look your way. He will only ever see you as the son of a criminal who rose his way to the top illegally "

Seungcheol shook his head "Jeonghan is not like the rest" He said in a small voice. He knew because he had seen him smile at him. He had seen him once help an old lady cross the street. His family were very rich yet he was always humble except for his friends especially the snotty gay one called Seungkwan.
He had accepted the invitation mainly for one thing. He was going to confess his feelings to Yoon Jeonghan and ask him to be his boyfriend.

Woozi eyed him looking really angry.

"You're still going to do this right?"

"Yes, if you don't like it, you're free to leave. I won't blame you"

Woozi sighed and straightened his jacket. He was going to stay for this stupid auction party. Seungcheol opened the door and all eyes turned to them. The other group stood at the other side of the hall with jeonghan in their midst. There was no expression in his face. It just seemed blank. People were drinking, dancing and having a good time as well. In the middle of the room was a pretty vase that was going to be auctioned. Seungcheol and his group walked to Jeonghan and his group.

"Thanks for inviting me!" He said. Jeonghan nodded "you're welcome. Ensure that you enjoy yourself"

Seungcheol grinned "oh I will...well I have something to tell you."

Jeonghan's phone began to ring.
"em....I'll be right back. I've got to answer this call"

He left and now it was his group and Jeonghan's.

"You are looking quite ordinary..." Boo Seungkwan muttered referring to their clothes as he leaned his arms on his half American boyfriend Vernon . They snickered.

"We wouldn't be in this boring place if we could" Mingyu added scornfully.

"Is this even a party? We can do a lot better" Jun chuckled.

"Shut up you low life" a pink haired one called Hoshi shouted.

"Hey, stop it okay. We aren't here to fight" Seungcheol whispered. They relaxed, eyeing eachother. Seungcheol looked around for Jeonghan but he wasn't there. He was the reason why he came so he started to look for him. He slowly began to search everywhere but there was no sign of him. He stopped when he suddenly heard voices coming from a room.

"Is everything ready?" One of the voices said.

"Everything is ready. Now we will get to embarrass that fool Seungcheol! Who does he think he is? We all know that his father is a swindler and a crook. Just because he is a billionaire doesn't mean that he is one of us"

"Are the guys ready?"

"How about Jeonghan?"

"He gave us the go ahead. Besides, he arranged this party in other to humiliate that rat and his pesty friends"

The two voices laughed.

"Make sure that he buys the vase so from there, we will get that pig's blood on him"

They laughed. Seungcheol couldn't listen anymore. He ran back to the hall. He had never felt more embarrassed and humiliated. He couldn't believe that he had ever had feelings for Jeonghan. He was heartbroken. He was actually a snake wearing the face of an angel.

"Seungcheol what's wrong?" Woozi said staring at him deeply.

"you were right Woozi, you were right all along"

He felt like crying as he clenched his fist. He could see Jeonghan's friends snickering probably ready to humiliate him but he wasn't going to give them the satisfaction. He was going to show them what it really meant to be a low life. He walked up to the vase.

Everyone began to look at him wondering what he wanted to do. He picked up the vase. Everyone gasped. He smiled and smashed it to the ground, the pieces of the expensive vase scattering across the room.

"What are you doing?" A voice cried from across the hall and Seungcheol looked up. It was jeonghan. He looked wide eyed and confused.

"You're here" Seungcheol said sarcastically. Jeonghan came closer watching him with blood shot eyes.

"Do you know how expensive that vase was?"

Seungcheol nodded acting non chalant.

"I do and I don't care" He replied and dragged him to the place where they had intended to dump pig's blood on him.

"What the hell are you doing?" Jeonghan yelled loudly as his eyes looked around warily. Seungcheol spotted the rope and pulled it down. The whole bloody content fell upon Jeonghan who screamed at the top of his lungs.

"That's better" Seungcheol said and laughed. His friends joined him while Jeonghan's friends looked embarrassed.

"You animal!" Jeonghan screamed. He was a mess and the stench from the blood filled the entire hall.

"Everyone was right about you! You are nothing but a savage"

"Savage?" Seungcheol screamed facing him. "You and your friends are the savages. You think that you are above everyone. You keep deceiving everyone with your fake angelic face whereas underneath, you are nothing but a devil"

Jeonghan slapped him. "Get out! Get out now you beast"

Seungcheol touched his chin and swallowed. He signalled to his friends and they began to leave.

"Choi Seungcheol, from this moment on, you are my enemy. I promise you will pay for this humiliation"

Those words got to him but he shook it off.

"Fine, from this moment we are enemies" He said and left with the others following him. But ever since then, his heart tugged whenever he remembered the look in Jeonghan's eyes.

Seungcheol woke up to the sound of voices outside his room. He got out from bed and came out. He was surprised to see his mother in law. Jeonghan was greeting her. It looked like he was back from work.

"Mother, what are you doing here this late in the night?" Jeonghan asked. He looked surprised

"I just really miss you. I visited my friend but got caught up in traffic so I decided to spend the night here. Hope you don't mind"

"Not at all eommoni. Come in, you are welcome in our home"

"Such a nice son in law" Mrs Yoon said allowing Seungcheol to lead her into the house. Jeonghan watched without saying anything.

"Eomma, how about Dad?"

"He's fine" She said and yawned. "I'm so tired Jeonghan, there's no need for food, I just want to sleep"

Jeonghan led her to the spare room while Seungcheol waited outside.

"Jeonghan, how are you doing? You've not been picking my calls. I hope you are okay but why do you look so pale and tired?"

"I'm fine Mom, I'm just stressed out because of school"

"I see... " Mrs Yoon nodded.

"Has Dad being well?"

"Yes, we are rebuilding the company little by little but something's off with Mr Choi. He wants us to give him our sea vessels?"

"What for?" Jeonghan asked.

"I don't know. He even told your dad to sign something. I really have a bad feeling about this"

"I know!" Jeonghan whispered. He kissed his mother's head. "Sleep tight Eomma" He whispered. His mother laid down before Jeonghan left. He saw Seungcheol standing outside.

"Why are you outside here?"

"Nothing. I wanted to make sure your mother was asleep first....well then, goodnight" He started to leave.

"Seungcheol!"

He turned round and looked at the shorter male. Jeonghan looked uncomfortable as he twisted his fingers.

"I have a favor to ask"

Seungcheol looked attentive. "Can I stay in your room for the night? Because of my mother" the blonde said.

Seungcheol looked stunned but quickly covered it all.

"Of course, no problem!" He said. Jeonghan smiled shyly and that completely melted his heart. He made way for Jeonghan and he slowly entered his room. He looked nervous. Seungcheol understood.

"Don't worry. I'll sleep on the floor"

He wanted to hit his head. Why was he acting so weird all because Joe wanted to sleep in his room. Jeonghan shook his head.

"Don't do that. The bed is large enough for five people. We will both share it"

Jeonghan looked determined so Seungcheol cut it out and lay on the bed awkwardly. Jeonghan did the same too so now their backs were faced to eachother. It felt so awkward. Seungcheol could hardly breathe. How the hell did it come to this? He was sure Jeonghan was thinking the same thing. He drew a deep breath.

"Good night" He whispered to Jeonghan.

"Goodnight!" Jeonghan whispered back.

It was daybreak now and Jeonghan could hear the sound of a heart beat. It was really close. He could feel a hard body underneath his. He looked up and saw Seungcheol. He wanted to scream but he paused and looked at him deeply. His full and long eyelashes, his soft red lips and pale white skin were all catchy and eye worthy. No wonder everyone at school had adored him. He was uniquely handsome.
He felt him stir and pretended to sleep. He could tell that Seungcheol was now awake. His body had shifted from his such that his head was now lying on the soft pillow.

"How cute!" He heard Seungcheol say and he thought he had gone crazy. He felt the weight of the bed lift. A pleasant aroma was filling the air and that caused him to open his eyes. He saw Seungcheol standing close to the door. He looked at him.

"It looks like your mom is cooking" Seungcheol whispered but his face looked bad. Jeonghan thought that he was feeling pressed. He got up from bed and went out to the kitchen. Sure enough, Mrs Yoon was cooking. She was cooking Crab soup with rice, radish and jjajangyeom.

"You are awake. I can see you and Seungcheol are getting along"

"What do you mean?"

Mrs Yoon hid a smile "I saw you two cuddling in your room"

"That was nothing"

"Oh really?"

"I still hate him!" Jeonghan said as if trying to convince himself.

"Alright, you still hate him. I can see that"

Jeonghan groaned at his mother's teasing. Mrs Yoon finished and served the food on the table.

"Call your husband to come eat"

"He's not my husband!"

Mrs Yoon watched her son as he left. Jeonghan saw Seungcheol sitting on his bed, his face looking bad.

"Come and eat"

Seungcheol didn't reply. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" He said. He got up and followed Jeonghan out to the dining area. He greeted his mother in-law and sat down to eat the food she had prepared.

Jeonghan watched Seungcheol. He was finding it difficult to eat.

"Are you alright? You aren't hungry"

"It's fine, look I'm eating"

Jeonghan watched him rush the food but he was looking distressed. After eating, Mrs Yoon received a call from Mr Yoon and decided to leave right away. They waved her off but as soon as she was gone, Seungcheol rushed to the toilet and vommitted. Jeonghan followed him and watched him vomit three more times. He couldn't help but feel worried as Seungcheol sat on the floor, his head resting on the wall. He had an exhausted look on his face.

"What's the matter?" Jeonghan asked.

"I'm allergic to Crabs" He answered.

"What?" Jeonghan stared at Seungcheol. He was allergic and yet he ate his mother's food. His heart swelled and he felt something in his chest. Something really uncomfortable.

"Why?" he whispered.

"I didn't want to dissapoint your mother"

Jeonghan was feeling scared all of a sudden. This was a different kind of fear. He helped Seungcheol get up and took him to his room. Seungcheol laid on his bed and watched as Jeonghan hovered over him.

"Do you realize something Jeonghan?" he started.

"What?"

"We went against our contract twice. The first one when I allowed you sleep in my room like a married couple. The second is eating a crab that I'm allergic to in other to impress your mother" he grinned "We are starting to act like a real couple"

"No we aren't and we will never be! Stop saying nonsense"

His heart was beating wildly especially with the way Seungcheol was looking at him. What the hell was wrong with Seungcheol? What was he trying to do? Why was he feeling this way?

"excuse me! " He said and left quickly. Jeonghan rushed to his own room trying to remind himself that he still hated his husband Choi Seungcheol. He hated him.

Thanks so much for reading.
