Ever since that night, things became so much natural between the two of you. Kissing became a daily occurrence though most of the time your only audience was the 4 walls of your house. Both of you finally decided to make the decision to share a bed and the study room which used to be your room went to back to serving its original purpose. Sometimes both of you would lie out on the balcony and stargaze. Tonight seemed like one of those

With the twinkling stars as witnesses, Johnny finally made his long awaited confession.

“When the contract ends, I’m going to marry you again.”

“Really?”

“Definitely. I already have everything planned out. We’re going to redo the wedding ceremony, probably do it overseas? We could go back to Hong Kong.”

Johnny went on through the night listing out his ideal wedding, everything that ranged from the cakes to the details of your dress. You listened to him with rapt attention, soaking up his words. As he went on and on, you found yourself becoming giddy with thrill. Rolling over, you were now on top of him and you dipped your head down to connect your lips to his before announcing to him:

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Johnny returned the favour and kissed your lips one more time as he smiled.

Satisfied, you pulled him up from the floor before the pair of you fell into bed.

The next evening, you were getting ready for your movie date with Johnny when you heard him having a rather heated conversation with someone over the phone.

“Ten, I can’t go. Not tonight, I’ve made plans with Lydia.”

“Come on man! I’m your best friend and you’re going to leave me alone in a bar when I’m all heartbroken? That’s not what brothers are for!”

“Ten…” Johnny sounds exasperated. Johnny could hear some static in the background as the phone seemed to switch hands. The next thing he heard was Jaehyun’s voice pleading with him over the phone.

“Hyung, please get over here quickly. Ten hyung is going to go wild and I can’t control him. He’s already down 5 shots of hard liquor and it hasn’t even been 5 minutes since we’ve gotten here. He’s going to kill himself at this rate. I know you’ve got plans with noona but please, please, please come. Tell noona I said sorry.”

Johnny let out a long sigh as his nostrils flared in annoyance. Finally, he closed his eyes and resigned to his fate.

“Where are the both of you?”

“The usual place. Ah hyung I gotta go, Ten hyung just bumped into some burly guy and it looks bad. Just come quickly!”

Before Johnny could protest any further, the line went dead.

“You gotta go somewhere?”

“Yea I’m sorry baby, I promise I’ll make it up to you another time.”

“It’s ok, where are you headed to?”

Johnny’s eyes dropped a little before he could find the guts to admit the truth to you.

“I have to go back to the bar where I used to frequent; I got a friend there about to get himself into trouble.”

When you didn’t say anything, he panicked.

“I’m sorry baby, I really am. I know I promised to never step foot into that place again but I got to go now. Just this once, and no more. You remember Jaehyun right? He can’t handle Ten by himself, I have to help him out.”
