The kiss was hot, extremely passionate and Jeonghan loved it. He wasn't ready to stop so he drew Scoups closer to him running his hands through his beautiful black hair.

"You are so beautiful Hannie" Scoups muttered and just then, something went off in Jeonghan's head. Scoups was gay. He pulled back for a while looking into the lusty eyes of the other.

"You are gay?"

The look in Scoups eyes said it all.

"That means you have nothing to do with Yoona....Even the other girls they said were in a relationship with you"

"That's right. They were just close friends but people assumed it was something more because of how free I was with them"

He intertwined Jeonghan's fingers with his. "But that doesn't matter. What matters now is you"

He planted soft kisses on Jeonghan's neck reveling in his quiet moans until he pulled back again wearing a serious expression on his face.

"Jisoo? What is your relationship with him? I heard you both were really close.

Scoups countenance totally changed as his brows furrowed in anger.

"Who told you that?"

Jeonghan regretted saying anything after seeing the hurtful look in his eyes. It pained him. He really must have liked Jisoo.

"It's only a rumor but it's not necessary to talk about it"

The lust and desire was gone now and was replaced with a strange awkwardness as Jeonghan sat in uncomfortable silence next to Scoups who few seconds ago had been willing to rip his clothes off. The awkwardness was no longer tolerable so Jeonghan made to leave when he felt Scoups hand on his wrist.

"Don't go, Stay with me"
Jeonghan stayed back. Scoups sighed. "I think it's time to get this off my chest and tell someone else"

He turned to Jeonghan and gave him that smile that turned his bones into jelly.

"I think that you are the right person" jeonghan could hardly breathe. God, he had fallen so hard for this man. Scoups looked reluctant to start but he took a deep breath and finally did.

Ten years Ago 
Seungcheol Choi stood under the tall tree away from the scorching sun as he tapped his foot nervously. He looked tired but of course, he would have to wait or he was going to have another fight with his Korean American boyfriend.
Just then, an average tall boy with feline eyes and sparkly hair walked by. He stopped when he saw Seungcheol

"Hey Coups!" He started calling him by his favorite nickname.

"Key hyung!" Seungcheol said.

The feline eyed boy stopped in front of him eyeing him critically.

"What are you doing here again under this sun. Waiting for Jisoo?"

Seungcheol shrugged. "What can I do?"

Key shook his head "That boy doesn't deserve you!"

"I know right?"

Key came closer "Don't tell anyone okay?"

Seungcheol was curious. "What is it hyung?"

"I got recruited by a music company just yesterday. The company is Sm entertainment"

Seungcheol hugged him.

"Wow Oppa, that's great, I'm really proud of you"

Key smiled broadly.

"I could help you out too you know, introduce you to them. I'm sure they are going to love you. You are extremely talented Coups"

"Nah, I'm interested in medicine but if I want to enter music, I will do it together with Jisoo"

Key frowned. "Why do you always allow that guy drag you around. He is really selfish you know...He knows how talented you are and he doesn't want to allow you pursue your dreams"

Scoups smiled "it's because I love him and I would never have the heart to leave him"

Key heaved. "Whatever, as for me, I'm seizing my own destiny"

"ehem" They heard a voice behind them and turned around. It was Jisoo glaring at the both of them as he held the handle of his bag which he slung behind his back.

"What's going on here?" He said.

"We were just talking" Key answered.

"About me I'm sure" he blurted, his eyes staring like daggers at Key.

"And what if we were?" Key shouted. Jisoo dropped his bag heavily on the ground.

"It looks like you want a good beating"

Key scoffed, rolling his eyes "why? Just because I was talking to your boyfriend"

"What were you talking about? You have always had your eyes on him. How many times have I warned you to stay away from him"

Seungcheol shook his head. "He's my friend Jisoo"

"I'm your only friend!" The American boy screamed into his boyfriends face. He returned his hardened gaze to Key.

"Get out now before I do something I will regret"

Key shrugged his shoulders "you know what? You are just crazy. Absolutely crazy, A psycho!"

He began to walk away shouting as he did. "Leave him Coups or he will be the cause of your downfall. It is obvious that your boyfriend has serious issues"
He finally left and Jisoo hissed.

 "Nonsense!"

He picked up his bag and slung it over his shoulder ignoring Seungcheol.

"What is wrong with you? Why do you keep behaving this way?"

Jisoo turned innocent eyes at him.

"What way?"

"You keep embarrassing me in public. I have lost all my friends because of you. I don't think I can continue like this Jisoo. You are getting out of hand"

His boyfriend scoffed. "What are you implying?"

"I want to break up with you"

Jisoo didn't say anything. He only got closer allowing Seungcheol to perceive the sweet
scent of his perfume. He whispered into Seungcheol ear

"You can't leave me, you know why? Because you will never find someone else like me"

Seungcheol stood there transfixed. Jisoo had him wrapped around his finger. Seungcheol knew that his sex was out of this world and he loved showing him off and but he was a terrible person. A jealous freak and highly distrustful. Yet, why couldn't he leave him?

Jisoo smirked. "Let's go to the Pub, we will be late"

He gave him a kiss and they left. They arrived at the pub and changed into fresh clothes hiding their school uniforms in their bag. The owner of the pub met them outside the rest room.

"Do well today boys. Perform a lot better than you have ever done before because there are some really important people here today" She said.

Jisoo's smile widened. "Agents? Do you think I will finally be recognized?"

Scoups turned to him. "You? It's us Jisoo don't forget that"

Jisoo nodded nervously.

"Of course, us!" He said the word in a way that got Seungcheol worried but he brushed it away. Now was the time to give a great performance. Hopefully, their dream of becoming a duo singing group will come true.
They went on stage and played better than they ever had. Jisoo played the guitar, singing with his melodious voice. Scoups rapped and sang. After the performance, they received a standing ovation. They were so proud of themselves. As they went back to their changing room, a tall man in suit rushed up to them.

"Hello!" He greeted. They stopped and bowed.

"My name is Hyung Woo, a talent agent and I'm from Pledis entertainment"

The boys listened. "I saw your performance and I must say that I was beyond impressed. You are really talented. I want you to join us"

He brought out a business card and gave it to Seungcheol.

"Thank you so much Sir, we are really grateful...."

The man raised one of his hands shutting Seungcheol up instantly.

"No, not the two of you...only you" He said pointing to him.

Seungcheol pointed to himself. "Only me?"

Instantly, he turned to Jisoo and saw the look of disappointment in his eyes. He returned the business card.

"I'm sorry Sir but I'm not going anywhere without my boyfriend. If you really want me, then you will have to take him too"

The man looked at them closely. "Don't get me wrong, your friend is also talented but you are something else. We need someone like you"

"Thanks and no thanks" Seungcheol said and grabbed Jisoo's hand squeezing it tightly. The man nodded understandably.

"Alright, I understand but think about it very carefully. This could be your one and only opportunity to become a star"

He gave him back the card "You could change your mind"

"I'm not changing my mind!"

The man laughed. "Good day" He said and left. Seungcheol embraced his boyfriend tightly.

"I love you okay, I will never leave you"

Jisoo felt stiff so Seungcheol seperated from him and gave him the card. "Here, have it"

Jisoo looked at the card and then at him before his face broke into smiles.

"I love you too Seungcheol. Thanks for not leaving me, thanks for always putting us first"

"I love you"

They kissed and Seungcheol felt so happy. Being with Jisoo was better than any feeling of becoming a star.

Things were great until after one week, Seungcheol couldn't get Jisoo on phone and he wasn't coming to school for the past two days so he summoned courage and went to Jisoo's house. His parents didn't like him because they suspected their relationship.
When he knocked on the door, his mother opened it. She glared at him, hate evident in her eyes.

"What do you want?" She barked.

"I'm here to see Jisoo. Is he home?"

She smiled wickedly. "My son isn't home"

"Where is he? I really need to see him"

"My son is going to become a star"

"What?"

She scoffed "Maybe, this letter will explain things better"

She went inside and returned with a brown envelope and gave it to him. With shaky hands, he tore open the envelope and read the letter.

Dear Seungcheol 
I'm sure that by now, you must really be worried about me. Don't be! I have gone to follow my dream. You know that man from Pledis that gave you that offer, I met with him and begged him to allow me audition for the company. After many please, he finally agreed. They accepted and now I'm on my way to being a star. I have passed the audition and I will debut very soon. 
I'm very sorry but I love myself a lot more than I love you. That duo thing was only a delusion, a childish fantasy. It is not used in the real world. In the real world, it has always been every man for himself. I have always been jealous of you, your talents. I have always been second fiddle even In our relationship. People naturally like you whereas I have to struggle for everything. This is what made me so insecure. You made me so insecure.
This isn't personal but I have to look after myself so Seungcheol forget about me and live your life. Life is never always as it seems. It is always a struggle. I hope we will laugh about this someday
All the best 
Jisoo 

His chest tightened. He laughed crazily throwing the letter to the ground as he kept on laughing. Jisoo's mother was starting to get worried.

"Seungcheol ah, what is wrong with you?"

"Together! Together!" he laughed. Slowly, the laughter turned to tears.

"Jisoo, why? Why did you do this to me?"

The tears came in torrents as he fell to the ground in anguish.

"What is wrong with you? Are you going crazy? You just get out of here! Get out!" she screamed but the boy kept crying.

"if you don't leave, I will call the police" She threatened and he finally got up and dragged his feet to his house looking like a ghost.

"Cheol, Cheol ah!" His mother called out to him as she saw him enter the house with that dreadful look. He didn't respond and went to his room locking himself in. No matter what they did, he didn't open up not even to eat till the following morning when his dad had to break down the door and they saw him lying down unconsciously on his bed.

His mother screamed as his father quickly called an ambulance. Seungcheol had suffered a sudden heart attack that caused a coma. He came out of the coma after two days and his parents was relieved. They still couldn't understand what happened to him so when he got strength, he told them everything. His mother hugged him.

 "We have always supported you even when you came out to us that you were gay but we have never supported your relationship with that boy"

"He was a distraction and I knew that he didn't really love you. He was only using you" His father said.

"I understand now father and I regret all the times I spent with him"

"Finally you can focus on medicine" His father said.

"No father, I'm going to be a celebrity and I am going to be in Pledis"
His parents were taken aback. "What the hell?" his father screamed.

"Are you doing this to get back at that boy?" His mother queried.

"Yes, I will become the biggest K-pop idol in Korea, much bigger than he will ever be" His voice was determined, anger, laced in his tongue.

"I have nothing to say" His father suddenly said, he stood up and walked away looking dissapointed His wife stood up too.

"Yeobo!" she shouted. She turned back to Seungcheol. "We will talk about this later"

But Seungcheol had made up his mind. He abandoned his ambition to become a doctor causing a rift between himself and his parents. Jisoo debuted with an album that sold very well but Seungcheol was only waiting for an opportunity.
After his final exam, he auditioned at Pledis and passed it. He immediately signed a contract and left his parents to live in the apartment the company had bought for him. It wasn't long before he bumped into Jisoo. It was at the company event. He looked so surprised to see him.

"Seungcheol what are you doing here?"

"Not Seungcheol. The Seungcheol you knew is gone. Now I'm Scoups"
Jisoo couldn't utter a word.

Scoups laughed and came closer to him. "I heard you sold two million copies from your album and earned three billion won in sales"
He smiled cheekily "I will triple that"

"What are you doing Seungcheol?" Jisoo yelled.

Scoups put on a fake innocent look. "Oh nothing, it's just every man for himself" He said and walked away. Not long after, he debuted and his album topped the charts. He was the first idol to have three of his singles reach the top three of the music charts. He sold ten million copies and earned thirty billion won in sales. He became super popular and for the next five years, the world was under his feet.

Now, Jeonghan looked at him, his body pressed close to him.

"How about now, do you still love him?"

Scoups smiled and kissed his nose playfully

"Not at all. He wants us to get back together but I have refused him. He always throws a jealousy tantrum when he sees me being affectionate with other people"

He looked the blond deep in his eyes "But now, things have changed. You are the only one occupying my thoughts. Since the first time I set my eyes on you at that party. I couldn't believe that there could be someone like you in this world. I couldn't forget you"

"Me too"

"Really?" Scoups said surprised. Jeonghan nodded shyly.

"Actually, I've had a huge crush on you since you debuted. I have bought all your albums. I know most of your raps by heart"

"I thought you said you hated my songs" Scoups said slightly amused.
Jeonghan hit his chest playfully.

"I was lying..."

Scoups laughed and embraced him tightly. "You are giving me a weird feeling in here" he said rubbing his chest.

"You too, my heart is always beating so fast whenever I'm with you"

Then Jeonghan saddened "But this relationship cannot go far. We can't come out to the whole world. They will hate us and your career will be ruined"

He stroke his long hair. " let me worry about that when the time comes. For now, all I want i is to be in your arms"

Jeonghan snuggled closer burying his head on his chest. He couldn't believe he had let himself fall like this. He had only ever loved someone once but it had never been like what he felt for Scoups. This was different, it was all consuming. Yet he couldn't be totally relaxed. Something was going to happen. Life never allowed him to be so happy for long. It would always throw something his way.

"Hannie, I have a confession to make"

"What?"

"I picked you to be my manager"

Jeonghan didn't understand and looked at him.

"The company gave me the forms of the people who had applied for the position and immediately I saw your face on that file, I picked you"

Jeonghan faked a frown "So you could make me suffer"

"No, so that I could be with you and see your face everyday. I wanted you close by. That was why I was always sending you on errands. It was just an excuse to always see your face"

Jeonghan smiled feeling flattered and he pecked his cheeks "That's so sweet"

"You aren't mad?"

He shook his head "Why would I be? I secretly liked it. I loved arguing with you and seeing you all the time"

"How cute!" Scoups exclaimed and tickled jeonghan. He giggled, holding him close.

"I also have something to confess to you"
He wanted to tell him about how he stalked him as a reporter for a news agency.

"well I... I.. "

Scoups kissed his head. "You know what, take your time. Tell me about it later"

Jeonghan was happy. "Okay"

"Let's go to sleep" Scoups said and covered themselves with a blanket.

"Goodnight Seungcheol!" Jeonghan whispered. The man relaxed when he heard his angel call him that name which he had never heard in a long time. He suddenly remembered his estranged parents and smiled sadly

"Goodnight Hannie"

Kissing his soft lips, he finally fell asleep
