Myungsoo heaved a deep sigh, feeling tension tighening the muscles in his neck. Valentines Day was supposed to be a joyous time filled with love, but to him it was just another reminder that he was alone and hopeless. The tall young man had everything figured out with his freelance photography business getting off the ground and beginning to really gain attention. Now all he needed was the perfect person to share everything with.

That had been Sunggyu's goal at the party he had just escaped. Those weren't the right people for him and he knew it. Now he was headed home, the one place he would be completely alone. Solitude.

Rubbing his sore neck, he glanced over to see a tall, thin young man staring at the smoke billowing out from under the hood of his car. Frowning, Myungsoo glanced at him as he passed.

"I'll pay you for it."

Myungsoo waved him off, shaking his head again. "Don't worry about it. We'll figure it out. Either that, or I'll help you get it to a mechanic." He grinned at Sungjong, trying to reassure the worried man. "Here. Grab your keys and hop in!"

"Thank you, Myungsoo. This is very nice of you," Sungjong replied quietly as he slid into the passenger seat.

Heading over to the parts store, they explained the situation. One of the employees was nice enough to drive his own car over and look at Sungjong's car. In the end, however, it had too many issues to fix there and had to be towed to a mechanic's shop and would have to stay for a few days, at the very least.

Since it was getting late, Myungsoo offered to give him a ride home, an event he was thankful for every day. Sungjong had invited him in and they had t
