´Do you have any turtlenecks?´

Yongguk just came into the bedroom and found the boy on the floor, arround him a pile of clothes.

HIS branded EXPENSIVE clothes.

´What do you think you are doing!? he hissed marching up to the younger grabbing a shirt out of his hand ´i gave you clothes to wear already!´

Youngjaes shoulders slumped down ´t-that shirt is not covering my neck at all...´

Yongguks noticed how he put his hair again into half of his face, trying to hide his scar and the blind eye. He then went to his wardrobe and after some seconds took out a pink turtleneck ´Himchan gave this to me once, trying to make me wear it. Here, i think it will suit you.´

Jae blinked and took it ´pink? For you?´

´I threw a pocket knife after that at him, fortunately, i missed as you see, hes still alive´ Yongguk chuckled and so did Youngjae.

´Thank you´ he put it on. It was very soft and comfy ´do you have an eyestich?´

´You dont need to hide your scars from me. It was not your fault and they make your beauty no harm.´ the older sighed and sat down on his bed.

Did h-he just compliment me?! ´Are you saying im beautiful?´Jae mocked but pink decorated his cheeks.

Suddenly the doorbell rang and both jumped from shock.

´I will get it. You can freely move arround the apartment, i dont mind.´ Yongguk went to to the frontdoor leaving a thinking Youngjae there alone.

´What the are you doing here?´ Yongguk growled at the intruder wo just came inside without invitation.

´You didnt pick up your phone, so here i am´ his manager- Daehyun smiled his whiskers smile ´what are you up to, hm?´

Yongguk knew it was worthless to kick the other out. He tried numerous times before, with no effect. ´what do i get you? Coffe, wine or water?´

´Hot tea please´ Daehyun smiled ´oh, and dont forget a cookie´

The older rolled his eyes and went to the kitchen to get it. When he came back some minutes later he found a doumbfounded manager starring with wide eyes at Youngjae, who was standing near him in the living room.

´WHO is THIS????´ Daehyun pointed his finger at the boy not believing his eyes.

Yongguk silenty observed the new pressence there ´Did you cut your hair?´ it was shorter and wasnt covering Jaes face anymore.

Also, he wasnt wearing his pink turtleeck but instead an oversized sweater showing of his collarbones. The hitman was speecheless. Why was the other wearing now all the things he didnt want to just a while ago?

Jae smiled and sat down on the couch right next to the manager. He turned his body in his direction ´Hi, im Youngjae and you?´

Daehyun had his lips parted and wasnt moving. But his eyes were.

He observed the boys face very closely, the scar and blind white eye, then that litle scratch scar on his cheek or the huge not fully healen scars on his neck.

Youngjae noticed how the other was studying him, the stranger looked terrified by him.

´Daehyun, you are starring´ Yongguk growled with his brows furrowed.

´See?´ Jae said and looked at the hitman ´this is why i need to cover myself. This person is in utter shock from my appearance and---´

´Who did that to you? ´ Daehyun asked out of the blue and got the attention of both Yongguk and Youngjae ´what is happening Yongguk? Who is this and why is he here?´

´Thats enough, im not in the mood today Daehyun. Youngjae will stay here for a while, now leave, we will talk at the studio tomorrow´ Yongguk walked towards his manager and lifted him off the couch by his arm.

´B-But!! Yah dont ignore me! Are you now into boys?? Hav--´

The flood of questions was silenced by the front door slamming right into Daehyuns face.

Yongguk scratched the back of is neck tired ´Honestly...that brat´ how is he even my manager...

----

´Why are we here...´ Yongguk grumbled annoyed.

´Because that cutie of yours wont leave the apartment and he needs new clothes. Thats why´ Himchan said while he was looking at the new collection at a luxurious brand shop.

´I dont even know his size and such . Lets leave...´ the hitman sighed. He didnt like shopping centers at all. Why was he even buying clothes for the boy?

´You wont let him go with you when he doesnt look good and as i know you, you also wouldnt let him wear cheap clothes in your pressence.´Himchan then gasped ´Oh my god!! Look!! Youngjae needs this!!´ he ran with high speed to the other side of the shop´this pink coat will be a bomb combination with the pink turtleneck i bought originaly for you BBang!´

´Why are you trying for so many pastel colors? He is a man for godsake not a girl.´ Yongguk fummed now ´lets look another shop.´

´Ok. But if you dont buy this coat, i will buy it for him myself´

Three hours later

´What is all this?´ Youngjae blinked awkwardly at all those shopping bags that Yongguk put all arround in the living room.

´Lets say, that now you can comfortably come out from this apartment.´ he crossed his arms on his chest and titled playfully his head. 

Youngjae on the other hand felt embarassed ´Y-you bought all t-these just for me?´ It was surreal for him. There were high brands printed everywhere on the bags. He was poor himself, hell he was broke and just one thing from this bags could pay for more than a week of food he ate.

´What are we?´ he suddenly asked. He wanted an aswer.

Yongguk was taken aback by that question ´What?´

´Why are you buying me stuff... such expensive on top of that. What are you trying by that?´

´Im not trying anything´ the older stated calmly ´i havent touched you since i know you, did i? Im not into men, remember?  If you dont want the things i will return them and-´

´I will try t-them...´ Youngjae had his eyes on the floor ashamed. Noone ever gave something to him and now he got so many presents all at once.

Yongguk smiled ´then, make me a personal fashion show.´ he sat up on the couch, crossed his legs and leaned back, expecting this to be kind of fun.

It took almost an hour for the boy to try everything but he liked the clothes.

´I still have something for you´

Yongguk got Jaes attention ´What? There is more?´

The hitman pulled a little box out and opened it ´so you dont need to wear turtlenecks all the time.

It was a choker, black leather with a metal circle in the front. The design was minimal but looked very luxurious.

Youngjae felt tears well up in his eyes as he touched the shiny accessory ´c-can i try it o-on?´ he whispered.

´Of course´Yongguk smiled and put it on the youngers neck gently. The boy felt his body shiver at the olders touch ´There, it suits you.´

Jae went to the mirror they had in the living room and checked his reflection. The choker looked pretty. He liked it. It perfectly covered the almost healed scar.

´Also´ the hitman got closer ´close your eyes. I have a last thing for you´

The boy hesistated for a while but in the end he closed his eyes ´what is it?´. Just then he felt something being put on his blind eye on the face.

´You can open them now´

Youngjae did as he was told and found an eye patch on his face, it hid his hurt eye from being seen. It wasnt a normal patch. It was made of silk and was decorated with small jewellery. It screamed ´expensive´.

Then, he noticed Yongguk behind himself, the heat radiating on his back.

They were close.

´T-thank you....´ Jae sighed ´but...i dont know how to repay you. Im broke, remember?´

´You dont need to´ Yongguk chuckled.

The younger turned arround so he was facing Yongguk and furrowed his brows ´what is it?´

They silently looked at each other. The atmosphere wasn´t tense or awkward at all.

Youngjae lifted his hands up touching Yongguks chest in proces and got higher, cupping the olders face ´why do you kill people?´ he asked without any sign of fear or doubt. He knew what he did.

The hitman relaxed his face into the touch ´it calms me.´he smirked ´its kind of fun as well´

´Its kind of funny how you react you know?´ Jae chuckled

´What is?´ Yongguk blinked confused.

´You say you are not into men, yet you leaned into my touch and i think you didnt even realize your hands are on top of mine right now´

At that, the older jumped and made space between them. He indeed acted on his instict and his hands found Jaes.

´Im also not into men´ the boy continued and had a stunned hitman before him ´but at least, i can admit there is something about you that i like´
