When Sunggyu stepped into the cafe the next morning, the owner seemed surprised to see him.  The owner greeted his daily customer with his usual coffee.

"Didn't see you come round for lunch and dinner yesterday," the owner commented casually.

"I was busy," Sunggyu replied and took a sip of his coffee. 

The owner smiled.  "I know.  I heard," he said with a hint of amusement.  "I never would have guessed that you were an animal lover."

Sunggyu frowned at the owner's words.  "Animal...lover?"

The owner nodded.  "Dongwoo said that you were busy looking after a sick puppy."

Woohyun opened his eyes and and glanced around the room.  A small frown appeared on his face when he did not see Sunggyu.  He raised a hand to touch his lips.  He smiled when he recalled the events from last night.  It was the first time Sunggyu had taken the initiative.  Perhaps all his efforts had finally paid off.  He smiled at the thought until he heard a knock at his door.

Sunggyu knocked once before opening the door to find Woohyun awake in bed.  The boy quickly sat up with a smile on his face.  Sunggyu walked over and placed the bag of takeaway food on the bedside table and then handed Woohyun another bag.

"What is it?" Woohyun asked as he peered curiously inside the bag.  He pulled out a shirt, jacket, a pair of jeans and even underwear, all still with tags on them.

"I got them in your size.  They should fit," said Sunggyu.

A huge smile spread across Woohyun's lips as he looked at the older man.  "Did you buy them for me?"

Sunggyu did not reply.  A stoic expression displayed on his face.  "Hurry up and eat your breakfast before it gets cold."

Woohyun knew that despite Sunggyu's cold exterior, the older man was a rather gentle and caring person.  It made him pleased to know this.  Just another little push and he would finally succeed.  He would take his chances.

After dinner, Dongwoo and Woohyun battled each other as they always did.  With their eyes glued to the tv screen, their fingers tapped away on the buttons of the controller as they attempted to defeat each other.  Dongwoo cursed in frustration when his player was knocked out.  No matter how many times they played each other, Dongwoo could never win the boy beside him.

Woohyun laughed in victory.  "You're too weak."

"One more time," said Dongwoo, refusing to admit defeat.

"You need more practice," Woohyun teased as he got up from the sofa.  "Why don't you do that while I go take a shower?"

"Shower?" asked Dongwoo as he watched the boy heading for the bathroom.  "But Sunggyu's in there..."

Woohyun glanced back and smirked.  "I know."  

Sunggyu glanced at the bathroom door when he heard it open and then close.  He didn't have to guess to know who it was.  He remained silent and continued to let the water run down his body until the shower door opened and Woohyun stepped in.  He looked at the boy standing in front of him.

Woohyun waited, expecting Sunggyu to scold him and then kick him out.  There was silence, except for the sound of the water splashing against their skin.  Woohyun seemed surprised when the older man continued to stare at him with a troubled look on his face.

Woohyun smirked.  "This is the longest I've been in here with you and you haven't kicked me out yet," he said as he took a step closer.

Sunggyu stood still. 

Realising that Sunggyu was not backing away, Woohyun took it as a sign.  "Let me help you wash your body," said Woohyun as he reached out a hand and ran his fingers down Sunggyu's chest.

When Woohyun's hand reached further down, Sunggyu immediately caught it before it could reach it's intended destination.  "I'll wash yours."

Dongwoo glanced at the closed bathroom door and sighed.  "I can't believe this."
