"The fuck did you just call me asshole?"
Aera turned his head slowly while asking, his eyes dark and the aura surrounding him giving a warning to any close living thing to run for their lives. Ho Seok flinched his tail and ears hiding, fear moved through his veins the longer he stared at those beast like eyes.
He had always been the one to drop others in fear, never in his life did he think, other than his father, someone would be this terrifying.
When got back to his senses, he glared back at Aera. The beast and tiger kept glaring until Ho Seok decided to start attacking, "heh, a fag here to pick our Han Beom? Is he your boyfriend? Is that why you were happy and excited the whole day?" Aera kept glaring not moving an inch from his place, waiting for the prey to say the word so he can show his fangs before biting.
"So we were keeping a fag all this time?" One started.
"Eww~ Does that mean he was with us just because he was satisfying his desires by staring at us then going back home and do that?" A second said.
"Dude~ If there's someone you need to be worried about, it'll be boss. He's the one who kept holding him the most when we go for a walk!" A third lit.
"Disgusting~" The first guy ended.
Whispers started to get louder into mumbles then to murmurs. Han Beom trembled, his head still low not daring to rise it afraid they'll see the tears that are close to fall. All this time Aera was still quiet his eyes on Ho Seok, the boy dared to light up the wrong woods and he will make sure he'll regret it, but not today, he doesn't want to do that with Han here and in that state.
He turned his vision to Ho Seok's minions that didn't shut it, he walked few steps ahead but a hand grasped his, he turned his head slowly and saw something flashing on Han's face. He flinched realizing Han's on verge of tears, he sharply turned his whole body grasping Han up whispering comfort words in his ears before he let go and walked toward Ho Seok's minions.
Ho Seok saw Aera walking toward them, he flinched and trembled his body filled with cold sweat, he felt a monster running toward them with its big fangs in show preparing to bite out his skin.
POW
Was the sound he heard before he looked at one of his friends punching Aera, "you fucking disgusting thing dare to ask me such a disgusting question?!?!"
Aera scoffed and looked at him with the same scary eyes "of course I dare~ you kept talking about me and my baby brother~ so I assumed you have feelings toward us both, it's not my fault you sent us the wrong signal heh" he grinned watching as all the attention goes toward him.
He glared at Aera before launching at him preparing his punch, but Aera held it before it reached him and punched him in the stomach. Minion One fell on his knees from pain, groaning he held his stomach, he turned to his friends waiting for them to rescue him. They turned to Ho Seok who did nothing but stare at Minion One who brought that upon himself, they took this as a sign to slowly approach him as a group not in solos. They stood in front of him trying to scare Aera but there's something they didn't know about him, the man can become really stubborn and even dangerous to the point he'll send someone to the hospital if he wants to.
Good for them Aera didn't start attacking because they'll definitely be in a terrible state, but he's holding back for Han Beom's sake. Speaking of Han, the poor boy was in a shock watching Aera's veins getting more and more visible, he knew he's holding back but that's too much of holding back. Usually, someone doesn't remain quiet when they're being mistreated like that.
That's not the only thing that surprised him, a new side of Aera was brought to light, he never gave it a thought about Aera's sexual orientation, but now that Ho Seok mentioned it it all became clear for him. His clothes style and his table filled with make up from different brands should've been a proof but how did he not notice that?
Han was just busy having good time with Aera, trying to get one good friend in his life that he couldn't care less about his sexual orientation. 'It doesn't matter what this person's orientations are, what matters is having a good person in your life, someone you can find when you need them' that's what his parents told him and he found that quite amusing because right now, in front of him, his hyung who's into men is standing for him even though they didn't know each other for a month.
He tried to stand up but a sound of a groan and a wave of gasps made him stop his plan and stare ahead. When he did, he was faced by Aera's leg hitting Third Minion on his crotch "bet you won't need that" said Aera in a sarcastic tune, the second minion fell and there was two left and their boss too.
Aera checked Han Beom's condition, he saw him holding back his laughter, when they locked eyes Aera gave him a small smile, before it was returned Han's face turned ghastly white "hyung!" he yelled jumping from his place and running to Aera, his body preparing for the outcome.
Aera turned and was faced by the other two minions away from him few inches, he knew he had no chance so he prepared to hit one of them, luckily, Han who got close to Aera saw who he was aiming for so he picked the other boy.
Pow
Thud
Han Beom stood from above the boy he dropped and ran to Aera who walked to him with open arms "hyung!" he called jumping to his arms 'he's here! He's still here' he thought, after being comforted by Aera's warmth.
"I'm warning you boy, if I know you dared to hurt my little brother again, I promise you that dick of yours won't be there anymore" Aera warned before he turned and took Han with him, "we gotta train you martial art, at least I'll be at ease" Han giggled "hehe yes hyung~"
On their way back to Aera's house, he told Han he had contacted his friend and told him to postpone the meeting for tomorrow giving whatever excuse he could come up with.
The good part, they managed to have a good rest for the rest of the day after the chaos they went through, on the other hand, two bad things are awaiting them both, Han Beom has school tomorrow and he'll need to deal with the students and teacher's bickers about what happened today, for Aera... He needs to explain for Han the whole thing about him being gay.
There's nothing much to say though, but Aera doesn't know how to start and what to tell exactly.
For their dinner, Aera ordered fried chicken, after it he prepared two bowls of pop corns, butter for Han Beom and salt for him, no matter what others tried to convince him to try other flavors he'd always tell them "nah ah! I prefer original flavors! You ruined the poor pop corn and other food with your creativity!"
He put on a gay drama as he promised Han, they both watched it with interest but for Han, part of his mind was analyzing what's going on with the characters and the other part thinking about Aera and what he'll tell him after this chapter ends.
