its been a month since seungwoo revealed his relationship with byungchan to the public. the news had died down prior to another scandal with another company. seungwoo was now happily taking byungchan on dates and acting like the sugar daddy he was. 

"must be nice" seungyoun mumbled as he scrolled through the pictures fansites took of them, as well as dispatch. they were holding hands in one picture and in another, seungwoo was feeding the younger some cake in hangyul's bakery. hangyul's bakery! 

it would've been fine if it were any other bakery but seungwoo specifically went to hangyul's! he had every right to be jealous. he knew seungwoo was trying to provoke him and tease him that he could get so close to him in public yet seungyoun couldn't without covering his face like an idiot. 

he's been suspecting this ever since hangyul told him about seungwoo going to his bakery more often than he has. he, too, also wanted to act cute in front of hangyul and feed him and take him on dates but here he is, sitting in his office alone, looking at pictures of his best friend and his boyfriend. 

"i need to find something better to do" seungyoun muttered, closing his laptop and looking out the glass window. it was already dark, meaning that he should head over to the bakery soon. 

just as he was about to head out of his office and put on his jacket, he heard a knock on his door. he internally groaned and opened the door, revealing one of his trainees who was sweating really hardly. 

"jaehui?" seungyoun smiled. he wasn't supposed to have favorites, but he couldn't help but admire the boy in front of him. he'd seem him practice through the night and work harder than anyone else. even when seungyoun stayed after hours to work in his office, jaehui stayed too. 

"c-ceo cho!" he panted, catching his breath as he held himself up with his hands on his knees, "c-can you see if my dance is better? i practiced really hard!" 

seungyoun couldn't help but say no. guess going to the bakery will have to wait until after. with a nod, he closed his office door and followed jaehui to the practice room. 

"have you been practicing singing to?" seungyoun asked, walking side by side with the younger boy, "the monthly evaluation is almost near" 

jaehui nodded optimistically, a bright smile shining on his face, "of course i have sir! i want to be able to rap too! can you teach me?" 

seungyoun giggled, following the boy inside the dance room, "of course i will. you've gone through five months of evaluations and you managed to survive against the other trainees. i remember when you showed up at the audition—" 

"s-sir!" jaehui flushed in embarrassment. he arrived at the audition for yuehua a few months ago without knowing how to properly sing or rap. all he knew was dance. that was his strength after all and that got him to pass to the second round. 

"alright alright, show me what you've got kiddo" seungyoun chuckled, standing a few feet away from jaehui to watch him dance. 

one of the things seungyoun admired about the boy was his determination and his sharp dance moves. not everyone was able to make their dance moves sharp or elegant when they wanted to. jaehui had just the right control and he's definitely improved since his first arrived at the company. 

"w-what do you think?" jaehui asked, looking at the ceo for approval, "i-is it good?" 

seungyoun let out a little laugh before clapping, "definitely, but when you're doing this part of the choreo, make sure you don't extend your elbow like this or else it'll look weird" 

seungyoun spent the next half and hour or so, fixing the trainee's mistakes and errors that could easily make the performance ruined. from the arm movements to the degree of the leg that it should be in, he fixed it all. 

"thank you ceo cho!" jaehui exclaimed, bowing a ninety degree angle in front of his boss, "i'm sorry for keeping you late!" 

seungyoun shook his head with a small smile, "i don't mind. i'll help any trainee at any given time if they want to get better. make sure you don't stay back too late" jaehui nodded, waving at the ceo who left the room. 

seungyoun smiled to himself as he walked to the bakery. jaehui was almost like his second son— dohyon was the first. there was a reason he accepted jaehui. even if he didn't sing well or rap well, he could always improve. he saw potential and he wasn't going to let it escape. 

"seungyoun" seungyoun didn't realize he made it to the bakery until he saw hangul's face through the glass pane. the boy was looking right at him with a smile that he reciprocated back behind the mask. 

the door chimed once he entered, making sure to close it softly after, "sorry i came in late. i had to help one of my trainees with something" 

hangyul shook his head, continuing to wipe the table, "that's your job seungyoun. you shouldn't be sorry" 

seungyoun let out a soft sigh as he approached hangyul from behind to snake his arms around his waist and rest his head onto hangyul's back, "is dohyon home?" 

"mhm" hangyul hummed, feeling his cheeks heat up at how close they were, "tired?" 

"definitely" seungyoun whispered, grabbing the towel from hangyul, "i'll clean it up for you" 

hangyul snatched the towel back and shook his head, "its my bakery seungyoun. you sit down and rest" 

seungyoun took off his mask and pouted, "i wanted to help" 

"you can help by sitting down and resting" hangyul beamed softly, ruffling the ceo's head like a puppy, "okay?" 

"fine" seungyoun grumbled, "but i'm cooking you dinner when we get home" 

seungyoun had spent most of his time at hangyul's apartment that it started to feel like home. he moved some of his clothes over to hangyul's place and slept in hangyul's bed like it was his own. they were practically family at this point. 

"you can't even cook last time i checked" hangyul giggled, wiping down the last table, "you're a vampire for god's sake seungyoun and i can just make myself something really quickly" 

seungyoun watched as hangyul skipped to the back and came back out with his jacket, "i can give you a massage or—" 

"hush" hangyul put a finger to seungyoun's lips, "you being here is enough now let's go" 

seungyoun smirked, grabbing hangyul's hand and lacing their fingers together. hangyul shut off the lights and locked the door of the shop before walking home with seungyoun. before they knew it, they were home. they slipped out of their shoes and seungyoun wouldn't let go of hangyul's hand. 

"seungyoun!" hangyul whined, "let me go!" 

"never!" seungyoun giggled, pulling him into a semi suffocating hug, "you're mine!" they landed on the couch with hangyul in between his legs. 

"i already know that i'm yours" hangyul playfully rolled his eyes, though there was no deny that his heart felt warm when seungyoun said that, "i'm hungry and you need to take a shower" 

"are you calling me dirty?" seungyoun glared at the boy in his arms that was holding in his laugh, "if i'm dirty then i'll make you dirty too!" 

they rolled around on the couch for the next minute or so before hangyul pried his way out of seungyoun's embrace. he quickly washed his hands and started to boil some water for his instant ramen. 

seungyoun eventually got up and made his way to the bathroom. just as he finished taking a shower, hangyul finished cooking his food. his hair was dripping with water when he stepped out of the bathroom with a towel in his hand. 

"do i have to wear a shirt?" seungyoun asked, groaning at the fabric that was sticking to his body. he normally slept shirtless, but hangyul normally wouldn't allow it because "he'd get too embarrassed to even sleep with seungyoun in the same bed." 

hangyul almost choked on his noodles, "seungyoun!" he wiped his mouth with a napkin as seungyoun sat across from him, "remember what i said—" 

"yeah yeah you'd get embarrassed sleeping in front of a shirtless vampire" seungyoun rolled his eyes and let out a small whine, tugging at the t-shirt that was practically suffocating him. god knows why he owned the t-shirt in the first place, "but this is so tight! its uncomfortable" 

hangyul slurped on his noodles, "g-get another one then!" he couldn't hide his crimson red cheeks away from the vampire. 

"if we're going to get married than shouldn't you start getting used to sleeping with me shirtless?" seungyoun smirked, "is it because you can't keep your eyes off my body hm?" 

"seungyoun!" hangyul exclaimed, putting his bowl into the sink, "d-do whatever y-you want!" his cheeks were burning red as he scrubbed the bowl with the sponge, washing off the soap and placing the bowl onto the drying rack, "i'm taking a shower" 

seungyoun watched as hangyul dashed off into his room to get his pajamas and return back to go into the bathroom. he chuckled, drying his hair with the towel and heading off to lay in hangyul's bed. he did end up taking off his shirt and maybe he was the tiniest bit thankful that dohyon wasn't at home today, though he did miss the boy. 

"go to sleep" hangyul muttered, keeping his eyes off of seungyoun once he entered the room, "i'll turn off the lights" 

"come on hangyul" seungyoun pouted, patting the spot on the bed next to him, "come here" 

hangyul obliged, still having the same red tint on his cheeks as he laid down on the bed, cuddling up to seungyoun. the problem was— he didn't know where to put his hands. everywhere he would usually put his hands was now muscles and skin. 

"you can put them anywhere" seungyoun chuckled, pulling hangyul closer to him, "don't be shy" 

"easy for you to say" hangyul huffed, finally placing this hands on seungyoun's toned abs. how did seungyoun keep such a perfect body? were all vampires like this? 

the vampire pulled the blanket over then and turned off the lamp, then wrapping his arms around hangyul's small body, "can i do something before we sleep?" 

"what?" hangyul asked, looking up at seungyoun through the dark light. everything felt so warm. his dreams became a reality. here he was, sleeping in a warm bed, all cuddled up to the man that made his heart beat everyday and his cheeks flush red every time they talked. 

"this" seungyoun leaned down, placing a kiss onto the other's lips— closing in the distance between them. he tilted his head a little to avoid them bumping into each other's nose. hangyul loved it. the vampire's soft lips on his made him feel like he was on cloud nine. were they finally something or were they already something? 

hangyul rolled seungyoun onto his back as he deepened the kiss. he straddled the older's torso, keeping their lips locked in place as they moved in a rhythmic motion. hangyul placed his hands on the vampire's pale chest as seungyoun gripped onto his waist, holding him in place. 

seungyoun pulled away from hangyul first, gasping for air as he looked at the swollen lips and flushed cheeks on hangyul's face. 

"this was only supposed to be a cute innocent kiss" the ceo chuckled, bringing his hand up to caress hangyul's cheek, "looks like someone was desperate for more" 

"s-shut up. it was because i h-haven't done it in a while" hangyul blushed, laying back down onto seungyoun's chest, hearing the steady heartbeat of the vampire, "i-i liked it" 

seungyoun hummed, smiling to himself like a fool, "as you should. i'll do it more often now so get used it" 

"definitely"
