Guilty Pleasure - Chapter 5
Guilty PleasureObeying Sunggyu's words, Dongwoo peered into the room to check on the sick boy. When he found the boy still sleeping soundly, he made his way back out to the living room. He glanced at his watch and waited. Sunggyu had been gone for several hours. He wondered where the older man had disappeared to.
As he sat tapping his fingers on the coffee table, he heard the front door open. He turned his head and saw the older man walking in.
"Where did you go?" Dongwoo asked curiously.
"Nowhere," Sunggyu replied nonchalantly. "How is he?"
"Hasn't moved a muscle," he informed.
Sunggyu made his way to the bedroom and closed the door behind him. Looking at the boy's serene, sleeping face brought a sense of relief over him. He reached out a hand and placed it on the boy's forehead when the boy slowly opened his eyes.
Woohyun smiled when he saw the older man beside his bed.
Sunggyu frowned. "Why are you smiling?"
"I had a dream that you held me in your arms and..." Woohyun's words trailed off when he peered under the covers and realised that he was not wearing anything. "It wasn't a dream?"
Sunggyu sure how the boy was going to react to what he had done. "You were running a fever," he tried to explain. "I had no choice but to-"
Woohyun pouted with slight anger. "Next time you hold me, please do it when I'm awake," said the boy, much to Sunggyu's surprise. "I want to be able to remember how it feels in your arms."
Hearing Woohyun's words, Sunggyu knew that the boy was on his way to recovery.
"Sunggyu, I'm hungry," said Woohyun. "I feel like I haven't eaten all day."
Sunggyu remembered that the boy had been sick all day. "I'll make you something hot."
Woohyun's eyes lit up. "You're going to cook?"
Dongwoo sat in the living room, playing his game onscreen when he saw Sunggyu heading for the kitchen. He did not take much notice of it and continued with his game. A short time later, Sunggyu emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup and returned to the bedroom.
Curious, he paused his game and quietly snuck to the bedroom. The door was left slightly ajar giving him the opportunity to peer inside.
"Come on, sit up and eat this," said Sunggyu, holding out the bowl of soup in front of the boy.
Woohyun shook his head and pouted, refusing to sit up or take the bowl.
Sunggyu frowned. "Didn't you say you were hungry?"
A cheeky grin appeared on Woohyun's face. "I'll eat it if you feed me."
Sunggyu's jaw tensed. He knew that the boy was trying his patience. "If you're not going to eat it yourself, then..."
Woohyun's eyes lit up with excitement when he saw Sunggyu scoop a spoonful of soup. He smiled when he thought that the older man was going to submit to his demands. However, the smile was quickly replaced by a disappointed frown when he saw Sunggyu emptying the spoonful of soup into his own mouth. Woohyun opened his mouth, about to voice his disappointment when Sunggyu grabbed him by the chin. Before Woohyun could utter a word, he felt Sunggyu's lips enveloping his own and the warm liquid passing through their mouths.
Outside the door, Dongwoo's eyes widened in shock. Ah, he's finally lost it now, he thought. This isn't going to end well.
