Four
It was a Saturday and jeonghan didn't need to go to work today. This past week, he had successfully avoided Seungcheol. He didn't see him regularly and Seungcheol seemed like he was back to his old ways, drinking, partying and having fun. Most times, he would return home early in the morning and by then, jeonghan was already off to school. They were both avoiding each other quite well but what could they do about the weekends?
Jeonghan decided to clean up the whole house, keep himself busy. As he dusted and washed, Seungcheol came out of his room wearing only a tight short that hugged his bottom. His chest was smooth and muscular. He wrapped a pink towel around his neck. Jeonghan stopped what he was doing and looked at him. His breath got caught in his throat. Seungcheol was gorgeous, it was difficult to pull his eyes away.
A smirk appeared on his husband's lips. "Looks like you are enjoying the view"
"What view?" Jeonghan stuttered and returned his attention to mopping the floor.
Seungcheol gave a small smile "I want to take an early morning swim" He stopped. "care to join me?"
"Just go Choi Seungcheol" Jeonghan whispered and Seungcheol left the house. As soon as he heard the door shut, he took a deep breath. He had been holding his breath for a long time now. He shook his head. He shouldn't be sexually attracted to Seungcheol. He still had Joshua who could take care of his needs but lately, he had been avoiding him because he felt guilty.
Jeonghan began wiping the glass windows when he saw Seungcheol diving into the water. His long arms stroke through the water and it impressed Jeonghan. He seemed like a professional. However, jeonghan had a secret. He couldn't swim. He had nearly drowned when he was small after his friend had pushed him into the water. He was sent to the emergency ward. He almost died so since then, he had been scared of water.
Seungcheol swam contentedly for a long time. Jeonghan was getting annoyed that he was having a good time while he worked hard to clean the whole house which he would later enjoy.
He made up his mind that Seungcheol would remove all the cobwebs in the house especially since he was taller. He stormed to the swimming pool where his husband leaned against the sides of the pool with his face upwards.
"How long are you going to be in there?" jeonghan yelled
"I don't know!"
Jeonghan came closer to him. "Come out now, I need you to dust away the cobwebs for me"
"You do that"
Jeonghan scoffed. "I've been working my ass off trying to clean your dirty house and you won't even make an effort"
Seungcheol drew a tired breath. "Really Jeonghan you nag a lot, you really need to chill out. You are too uptight"
Jeonghan swept his hair back as an act of frustration.
"I nag?"
Seungcheol scoffed "It must be your new job. It's taking a toll on you"
Jeonghan knew that he couldn't talk reason with this child so he shook his head.
"Fine, go ahead and keep soaking your self in the water till you get sick. I'll clean it all up myself"
He started to leave when Seungcheol called him back " Hey Jeonghan, come here" He said.
Jeonghan turned round unaware when Seungcheol had suddenly grabbed his hand and pushed him into the water.
Seungcheol laughed loudly but his laughter started to die off when he saw that Jeonghan hadn't come out from the water.
"Jeonghan!" He yelled but the blonde didn't raise his head. It was then that he realized that he was drowning.
"Shit!" He cursed loudly and dived in. His heart nearly hit the roof when he saw Jeonghan going down deeper into the water. He looked unconscious. He quickly grabbed him by the waist and brought him out. As soon as they had reached the surface, he placed jeonghan on the ground and came out of the water. He knelt beside him. Jeonghan looked white and pale. Seungcheol couldn't waste time. He started pumping his chest to bring out the water from his system but nothing. There was only one thing left, he had to do CPR. He opened Jeonghan's mouth. After taking a deep breathe, he brought his mouth onto his, breathing deeply into his mouth until the colour returned to Jeonghan's face and the blonde coughed. Seungcheol watched as Jeonghan coughed out water, lots of it.
"I'm sorry Jeonghan" Seungcheol whispered and without warning, he carried jeonghan in his arms.
"Yah, what are you doing?" Jeonghan said weakly.
"I'm taking you inside"
"You don't need to carry me" he said.
"Can you just stay quiet Jeonghan, you scared me to death"
Jeonghan looked at him. The worry in his eyes was evident as he ran into the house. He never thought that Seungcheol could act so caring. He never thought it was in his nature. Seungcheol took him to his own room and Jeonghan was shocked.
"Yah, why did you bring me to your room?" he said as Seungcheol dropped him on his bed.
"Because it's nearer and you are heavy"
Jeonghan frowned. "Look I'm fine"
He tried getting up but Seungcheol restrained him.
"Lie back, you need to change your clothes or you'll catch a cold"
Seungcheol went to his wardrobe and brought out a white huge cardigan with a long grey trouser. He dropped it beside Jeonghan who looked shocked.
"I'm not wearing your clothes Seungcheol"
"Hurry, before you catch a cold" Seungcheol said hurriedly. He dressed in a white robe as he spoke.
Jeonghan looked from Seungcheol to his clothes. He couldn't understand the man at all.
"Wait here, let me make you some soup"
Jeonghan was stunned. "Soup? You can cook? "
Seungcheol nodded, smiling wryly. Jeonghan suddenly realized something. "The plate! Were you just joking with me?"
"I was. The thing is I'm just lazy"
Jeonghan clenched his fist. "You... "
He made to grab a pillow to throw at him but Seungcheol had already dashed off. Jeonghan sighed and wore the clothes. It was big for him but comfortable. He felt weird because he could perceive Seungcheol's scent all around him. He shook his head and tried not to think about it.
He took the time to look around Seungcheol's room. This was the first time he was entering here. It was a bit messy because there were a lot of drawings and paintings on his table. He could see it was all done by Seungcheol. They were quite well done and beautiful. He saw one sketch of his sister and it almost looked like her.
"I had no idea he was artistic" He said to himself. He had always thought of Choi Seungcheol as this arrogant person who didn't care at all about anything or anyone else but here he was making drawings of birds and his big sister.
"I'm done with the soup" Seungcheol said as he entered holding a tray with a bowl on top of it. The bowl was steaming and he could smell the sweet aroma coming from it.
"This is ox tail soup. It's very good for cold" he said as jeonghan sat back on the bed. Seungcheol placed the tray on his lap and sat beside him.
Jeonghan looked at him. From up close, he was really handsome especially because of those unbelievably long eyelashes of his Jeonghan felt his heart beat wildly.
He couldn't believe that his heart was beating wildly because of Seungcheol. He pulled his eyes away from him and cleared his throat feeling uncomfortable.
"Seungcheol, what are you doing? Why are you doing all these? Don't you think we are going against our contract?" He said
Seungcheol sighed as if he knew he would ask him this question. He smiled awkwardly.
"I know you and I don't like eachother but I can't live like this, avoiding each other"
"At least let's get along, let's help eachother sometimes. You don't have to keep having late nights because you're avoiding me"
"You keep late nights too"
Seungcheol shrugged "That's right, I do but it's not because I want to avoid you. It's just how I've always been"
Jeonghan looked everywhere but at Seungcheol. He felt completely embarrassed.
"Okay then, I'll eat but it doesn't change the way I see you"
"Me neither!"
Jeonghan stopped and looked at Seungcheol.
"How do you see me?"
Seungcheol scoffed "You think that you are so perfect, that everyone is beneath you"
"I do not! " Jeonghan defended. He was really not that kind of person"
" What about at that party three years ago...."
Jeonghan cut him off " let's not mention that day can we?"
Seungcheol nodded "You're right, let's not" He said. That party was the day their hatred for each other was born. They both hated thinking of that day. To get his mind off it, he took a deep breath and began to eat. It was absolutely delicious but he didn't want to say so. So he just ate quietly. He finished the soup in no time.
"Looks like you enjoyed it" Seungcheol said.
"It was alright" He lied and stood up. "I'll wash the dishes
Seungcheol grabbed the tray. "No don't, I will"
"You are making me feel weird" Jeonghan muttered as his face turned red. He looked so cute that moment, Seungcheol couldn't help laughing.
"What?" Jeonghan said.
"Nothing" He started to leave but Jeonghan stopped him.
"Your drawings are good" He said as his fingers threaded through the paper sheets. Seungcheol couldn't speak. No one had praised him for his drawings before, not even his friends. Everyone thought they were mediocre at best but Jeonghan the boy he had hated for three years thought differently.
"Well thanks" He whispered blushing.
"Rest well okay" He said and left the room. Jeonghan was already tired of being in bed so he left for his own room. His phone was charging on top of the table so he picked it up. There were thirteen missed calls from Joshua so he decided to call him back. As soon as he called, Joshua picked up.
"Jeongie, what's going on? I've been calling you endlessly"
"I'm sorry, I caught a cold"
"A cold? Are you okay? Can I come see you? I want to see you? I don't know where you live now"
"Don't worry, I'll come and see you"
"Jeonghan, you can always come and live with me. I don't mind"
"No I'm crashing at a friend's place. I don't want to burden you. I can just come spend the night"
"Okay, I'll be waiting"
"I love you"
"I love you" Jeonghan responded and cut the line. He was feeling quite odd all of a sudden. He started to hear the sound of the tv. It seemed like Seungcheol had put it on.
It was almost evening when Jeonghan came out of the room. Seungcheol was asleep, his mouth slightly open. Jeonghan stifled a laughter as he watched him.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" He whispered when he found out that he had been looking at him. He shook his head and tapped him on the shoulder. Seungcheol's eyes opened and he saw Jeonghan.
"Hey, are you alright?" He whispered.
Jeonghan nodded. "I'm going out. I'll be back tomorrow"
Seungcheol nodded. He had an idea where Jeonghan was going but he didn't want to think about it.
"Okay then, I might probably spend the night with my friend"
"Alright then" Jeonghan said and began to leave. He was feeling really guilty so he hurried away. He arrived at his boyfriend's home soon and Joshua hugged him tightly.
"You've been worrying me lately"
"I'm sorry"
"You've been saying that a lot lately and it makes me sick"
Joshua smiled and wrapped his arms around Jeonghan.
"I miss you Jeonghan, I miss your touch. We've not had sex in forever"
"It's only been a few weeks"
"It's been almost a month!" Joshua groaned.
"I've not been feeling it recently because of my parents but I promise to get in the mood. Just give me time"
Joshua sighed. "Okay, but at least, let's cuddle" He said and wrapped his arms around Jeonghan as they laid in bed together. Jeonghan knew one thing. He didn't want to loose Joshua but for some strange reason, he couldn't stop thinking about the grey haired one one thousand meters away.
