Hey people!

So thank you so so much for 10k it means everything to me.

I decided to write another chapter to say thank you.

And tbh I really missed this story.

Here goes:

Jaebum was taking a hot shower, drops of water hitting his skin, his mind was going back in time.

He was thinking about everything and about nothing. He was thinking how his father took him back from his abusive mother just so he could replace his other, dying son.

He was thinking how his father was just as abusive as his mother, just in a completely different way. His father would hurt him with words and rough punishments if he behaved badly.

He was thought how to properly eat, sleep, learn and even sit. If he did any of those things wrong, he would get hit by his father's new wife.

And then his brain went to a day that happened not so long ago. His brain went to the day Jinyoung died.

Well, his body.

He remembered how one of his workers called him and informed him how Jinyoung was in an accident. He always hired a guy to watch over Jinyoung and call him if something comes up with him.

Usually, those would be false alarms and Jaebum would fire the employee, but not that day.

On that day, that specific day, Jaebum walked casually to the hospital, he knew his childhood friend is okay, he always was, but when he saw bunch of doctors working on his half destroyed body, he ran towards them, but was held by other people.

He couldn't believe it. His friend, his best friend, his Jinyoung was right there, trying to be saved. Jaebum was screaming for the other male, trying to reach him, but he couldn't.

After a few moments, he heard something he didn't want to hear in a lifetime. "Time of death, December 9th, 10:21pm."

Doctors let go of his body, and people who held Jaebum let go as well, letting him run towards his only real friend.

He stood at the edge of the bed and put his hands on both sides of Jinyoung's head, leaning over him. He got to the level of the dead boy's ears and yelled.

"Park Jinyoung!"

"Don't even think about leaving me! I won't let you go!"

He felt warm tears run down his cheeks, tears he didn't even want to have. He put his forehead on his best friend's not even cold one and let his tears fall on other's bloody cheeks.

Jaebum was jerked from his thoughts as he heard something from the kitchen. He hurriedly stopped the water from running and put on some pants, but no shirt.

He walked out of the bathroom just to see the theme of his thoughts in the kitchen, looking for something in the fridge. He smiled softly knowing that his Jinyoung was okay.

"What are you doing?", Jaebum said with a smirk as the other boy's back was facing him.

"I just wanted to see you before I le-", Jinyoung stopped mid sentence as he turned around only to see Jaebum without a shirt.

"Hey! Why!? Why...? Why are you just walking shirtless like that!? It's cold! Are you trying to show off or what!", boy yelled, panic in his voice.

"Hurry up and put o-", Jinyoung stopped when he saw Jaebum's expression, something between relief and fear.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Jaebum just took a step towards Jinyoung before whispering "Just a bad memory."

Older boy wrapped his hands around Jinyoung, pulling him as close to his body as possible and started whispering in his ears.

"Park Jinyoung. Stay the night."

"Huh? What? Why would you say that all of the sudden!?", Jinyoung tried to wiggle out of Jaebum's arms, but the latter only held him harder.

After a few moments of protesting, Jinyoung gave up and just hugged the other back. He slowly patted his back in order to calm the other down a little bit.

"Hey...", he whispered "You don't have to hold so tight, I'm not going anywhere. Just... What was the bad memory you were talking about?"

He was only met with silence as Jaebum snuggled his head in the crook of his neck, his breath tickling him a little bit.

"So what? You won't tell me? Fine! Do whatever you want. Just keep it up.", he spat at him as he yet again tried to leave the other's embrace.

He yet again relaxed into the hug and started whispering again. "You hugged me like this when we first met remember? I was so worried about you. I thought you were going to die. Now that I think of it, if I haven't found you that day, we wouldn't be here like this today."

After a few minutes of silence, Jaebum finally spoke. "Do you regret it?", he whispered as he pushed Jinyoung until he was leaning on the table.

"What?"

"Do you regret meeting me back then?", Jaebum whispered as he pulled away from the hug so he could look at the other's eyes.

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm curious."

"I don't really want to answer that-", Jinyoung said. And then, Jaebum pulled him by the chin for a small kiss on the lips, kiss that meant so much for both of them.

"I'm curious.", Jaebum repeated in a whisper as he rubbed the other's bottom lip with his thumb.

Jinyoung blushed madly at the contact. This guy. He's such a tease!!!

"I've... never once regretted it. Even after you left me, I hated you, I was mad at you, but I never regretted having met you. I could never. Because if I did that, I'd have nothing left."

Jinyoung Shut up for a second and then blushed yet again as he remembered the position they were in.

"Well, that's not the only reason...", he whispered as he reached with his hand towards the back of Jaebum's neck, pulling him in for a more than a soft kiss.

They kissed passionately, Jaebum of course taking control of the situation. He pulled away just enough to whisper into the other's mouth.

"Open your goddamn mouth."

Jinyoung did just as he was told as he let the other's tongue enter his warm mouth, it tasting every single inch of it. He pulled Jaebum's naked back towards him, filling the little space that was left between them. He moaned a little bit, making Jaebum smirk at his submissive moment, moment he almost never shows.

Soon, Jaebum ran his hand over Jinyoung's back, his hand sliding under the latter's shirt with no problem whatsoever. Jinyoung moaned yet again because of the contact with the other's cold hand.

As the younger boy ran out of air, he gently pushed the other boy back, braking the kiss. They huffed together, trying to get some much needed air from the heated room.

"You know I don't do this with anyone right?", Jinyoung panted as he was still very close to his lover. "I'm  not just close to anyone. I'm a cold person, you know? I don't like caring for anyone but here I am. I don't let people go easily if they did something bad but here I am. So what I'm trying to say is... if I like you enough to do all that, of course I don't regret meeting you.  And now that you know, don't ask me stupid questions like that anymore."

"Okay.", Jaebum whispered and hugged the other boy again, inhaling his scent. He always smelled of strawberry and candy.

"Okay?", Jinyoung asked as he hugged the boy again, also inhaling his scent. Jaebum smelled differently. He smelled of apples and mint.

"Yes."

"I'm glad."
