Min Jun didn't expect a sudden attack. He always excelled in physical fights. No one in their right mind dared to pick a one at him.
But Young Jae was really bold to attack him suddenly. Even though the sudden hug was unexpected, Min Jun felt more attacked.
Having physical contact with others was nothing new to Min Jun. But the unexpected hug from Young Jae created havoc in his head. Everything was messed up for him within a second. At the moment, a tiny sob escaped from the man who threw the arms around him, crushed Min Jun's heart mercilessly.
'What did this guy even went through to feel this way? For Chin Mae, giving Young Jae Hyung a room to live in his house was not a big deal. I can understand if it was gratitude. But this seemed like much more than that. How long and how bad did the Moon family torture him?' Min Jun couldn't help but question hopelessly in his head.
He slowly embraced the sobbing man in his arm and drew a soothing circle on Young Jae's back.
After few minutes, the sobs reduced to a sniffling slowly.
Young Jae had difficulty in placing a word to what he was experiencing. Was it happiness? Was it gratitude? Was it relief? He didn't know. There was no word to explain what he felt at that moment.
He felt something needs to be held tightly to make him stop floating. He ended up holding on to what was in his hand. Min Jun's t-shirt.
Min Jun's t-shirt was good material. Or else under Young Jae's clutch, it would have torn.
'There are steps before we tear clothes Hyung. Refrain yourself because you are making it hard for me!' Min Jun snapped out of his head the minute the thought popped in the head.
'Well… This is... ah... first time. I have never thought like… damn… Get a grip Min Jun. You know this guy for less than a day. And you want to… God! What do I even want to do now?' Somehow Min Jun shifted from scolding him for being horny wolf to the confused puppy in a minute.
Thankfully Min Jun's hands were occupied with holding the almost calmed man. Or else he would have ripped his hair away in frustration.
Min Jun never felt lost and contended ever before, like when he have this man in his arms.
As a dom, he was never driven by his feelings. So this first for him. It was new. Way too different that it scared him. The fear of never experiencing something like this again started to worry Min Jun.
'Babo... It's not about you. Focus! Focus! But on what?! Oh yeah… On Young Jae Hyung!' Finally, Min Jun diverted his focus and attention to the older man who almost finished sobbing in his arm.
Keeping Young Jae securely in the arm, carefully without making any discomfort to the injury, Min Jun moved to get the water bottle.
"Hyung, you want some water?" Min Jun asked the man in his arms softly.
Young Jae realised his throat was little parched. He nods the head as a response with no energy left to answer.
Min Jun placed the straw near the pink lips. When Young Jae opened his mouth and held the straw between the lips, Min Jun felt his throat dry.
'Yeou hiding in tokki's skin' Min Jun scolded Young Jae in his heart with a smile blooming on the face unknowingly.
Young Jae raised his head after drinking the water.
Bright red nose, flushed cheeks, moist pink lips and tired face just pulled his heart until his eyes started to drank the man's appearance in his arms.
Min Jun had saw guys with a similar look after he thoroughly ravished them on the bed. Even though the reason for Young Jae's current appearance was different, the impact it had on Min Jun was extreme. He was torn between wanting to see the look on Young Jae's face after being ravished and to protect Young Jae too well that, the elder one never cry as he did just now.
Before he even knew, Min Jun raised his hand to brush it through Young Jae's hair.
The sudden action startled Young Jae. He froze before giving in to the comforting warmth of being in the arms and gentle finger running through his hair.
Even though Min Jun realised that Young Jae stilled for a minute before giving in to the comfort, he overlooked it.
Never in his life, Young Jae felt this cherished as he did in the arms of the stranger who he just met. He liked it for some odd reasons even though he thought danger raising as he spends more time with the younger man.
'Wang Min Jun is a playboy…' a tiny-hesitant voice told him.
Young Jae brushed it off as his attention went to the skilful fingers putting the right amount of pressure in his scalp as an attempt to calm him down after the breakdown, without even saying anything.
He closed his eyes, feeling the relaxation dragging him down to blissful sleep.
Before he falls into the best sleep, he ever had in his life, Ki Hoon Joo's mocking words.
'Sometimes you are way too desperate… Desperate for attention. Desperate for love… It is a huge turnoff...'
Remembering those words, Young Jae jolted away from Min Jun's arm almost injuring his hand on the sling.
"I… This… I am…" Young Jae was breathing heavily, trying to find words.
Min Jun's heart pained looking at the struggle the guy was going through.
'I will break every bone of the asshole who made you insecure like this. It is a promise.'
Min Jun vowed to himself. Without even knowing the list would be a little long.
"There is nothing to panic. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable. My brother always holds me like that after I cry. That's why I did. Nothing else." Min Jun partially lied with ease.
Young Jae nods his head. He was distraught as Min Jun took the blame on himself when he was the one who made everything uncomfortable.
'If only I was not this desperate...' Young Jae chided himself.
The movement on the bed made Young Jae realise Min Jun moved away from him and the emptiness made way back to his heart.
Young Jae felt sad and guilty.
After a minute, Young Jae's footstep towards him made him look perked up.
"I bought a towel and some warm water in a basin. I will wipe your face, and then we will sleep."
Young Jae nods his head, not trusting his voice.
The warm wet cloth touched his cheek with gentleness. Young Jae froze and let Min Jun do the work.
Min Jun adjusted pillow for Young Jae and helped him to lie down.
When Mun Jun was about to leave for his bed, he felt a slight tug on his pant.
"Gamsahabnida" Young Jae spoke in a soft voice.
The light uncertain tone of Young Jae tugged his heart. Without even knowing, Min Jun leaned in to brush Young Jae's hair away from the forehead.
He leaned in slowly…
Young Jae was surprised by feeling the sudden closeness.
Min Jun, who moved involuntarily after the tug, and slowly smiled at the reaction.
"Jalja" a soft, husky voice filled with adoration, spoke to Young Jae before making way to his temporary bed.
