Chapter 24: Jeju Part 1.

The playboy

Sungyeol had arrived a few days ago at Jeju island after taking care of most of the company's paper earlier the day. Leaving only Woohyun Hyung in charge of his deal with Sunggyu then. He knew that his older friend didn't particularly carry the businessman in his heart. In fact, pretty much anyone related to Myungsoo were automatically dragged into Woohyun hyung's black list. Which was utterly disconcerting for it was after all his issues but Sungyeol would lie if he said he was touched by Woohyun Hyung's loyalty. But at time, Sungyeol would feel guilt at the knowledge that he was the reason why Woohyun hyung's drifted with so many people. Many times, he had tried to get his best friend and older brother away from all the darkness now surrounding his life but eventually Woohyun hyung would shoot him down and demand the younger guy to fill him in with whatever he was going through. In the end, Woohyun hyung really was one of the reason why he still had a bit of his old self with him. And it was a relief to know that even though he had changed into this bloodthirsty guy, deep down he was still that emotionnally clumsy and utterly sensitive guy. Come to think of it, he was probably even more sensitive now.

Pushing aside his thoughts, he checked in the hotel he knew the wedding was taking place at and after a quick exchange with the lady behind the counter, he left his only baggage at a porter who instantly appeared behind him, he generously gave him a tip before walking away in search of where the reception was suppose to be held. He was still trying to find the reception hall when his head snapped around at the familiar voice that called him out. Lee Ho woon? Wait what was his nickname again? Sungyeol thought hard on it.

"Sungyeol Hyung? Is that really you? Wow, how small can the world be. Uhm i don't know if you remember me but i'm.."

" Hoya." Sungyeol absent mindly answered. Hoya seemed taken aback for bit but he quickly recover from it as he said while politely bowing with a grin

"It's been so long hyung. How you've been?" Just then a ever so smiling man walked up behind Hoya and Sungyeol instantly recognized the eccentric hair color he was used to see from way back in high school. This man alone could pull such bright color and still look insanely adorable. Hell, where was his thoughts heading to?

"Oh, Sungyeol Hyung?! Is that really you? Wow, it's been so long, how you've been?" Dongwoo asked once again with a smile just as friendly as his partner. Those two were stiill hanging out together? Sungeol smiled in response and said

"I'm good. How are you two? Are you here to enjoy a vacation?" Surprisingly, Sungyeol actually kind of liked the two men. He was still a bit bitter or having been played but in sum he didn't particularly hate them for that.

"Oh no no we're here for work." Hoya said with a sigh.

"Yeah, it . I mean we're in Jeju and yet we have to work."

"Oh and what exactly are doing if i may ask?"

"We're your ordinary salaryman. We're here to get an important client to sign with us."

"Oh i see. Good luck on that then."

"Thank you hyung. But what about you hyung? Are you here for a vacation?" Sungyeol shok briefly his head and said

"No, i'm here for some personnal matters." Sungyeol then watched as the two men silently glance at each other. Whatever they silently convey themselves with their eyes was, it seemed like it was quite important for just then Sungyeol watched as the two men nervously fidgetted before Hoya finally said

"Oh. Uhm, hyung if you don't mind would you let us buy you dinner tonight? I know it's a little sudden but we'll like it very much if we could treat you to a meal.Of course if you're free. It could be anytime really." Oh, were they nervous for that? Sungyeol couldn't help but find it quite amusing. He agreed however and left not long after. 

 

On the other hand, Myungsoo had been busy as with all the photoshoot he had scheduled. He didn't thought it was that much when he had agreed to take them on. But now that he thinks about it, he might've overestimate his ability. With a sigh, he ended the last shoot of the day and moved to an empty chair to catch his breath for a bit. Pulling out his phone, he absent mindly went through his contact when his hand linger longer than it should on a particular number. Come to think of it, it has been two days since the owner's number came to his studio. He had tried to get some gossip on where the sought out man could be, but only to no avail. Apparently, he was a very discreet man. With an annoyed sigh, Myungsoo shoved his phone back in his jacket's pocket, and proceeded to go through the picture he took when Jae hee walked up to him. The young woman handed him a bottle of water and asked as she sat beside him

"Hey boss, why the long face? Are you not please with the picture you took?" More like i'm not please because someone is giving me a hard time, Myungsoo thought but didn't say it out loud. Instead, he gratefully accepted the bottle of water and said

"No, i'm just tired. It's the last shoot of the day isn't it?"

"Yep, oppa. Do you want to go out and have some meat?" She offered with her habitual flirtatious grin that went completely unnoticed by the older man whose eyes were fixed on the screen. He was such a tease, Jae hee thought but didn't give up whatsoever. Instead she clung desperately at the handsome's man elbow and repeated cutely

"Come on oppa. Let's go out for meat. You know, after a long day, it is important to refill your stomach. So come on, let's go. Ok oppa?" Myungsoo seem like he was about to say something when his phone rang. Pulling away from his assistant, he said

"Oh, hey Hoya what's up?"

"Guess where i am?"

"Yeah guess where we are" Dongwoo's voice echoed in the background. Myungsoo only rolled his eyes though, knowing that either those two trouble maker ditched work or they went to some low brothel and got themselves in trouble. With a sigh, Myungsoo said

"Ya, you two aren't doing anything i wouldn't do right?"

"No, don't worry. We're are as good as angels." Hoya answered with a throaty laugh. Myungsoo couldn't find comfort with his words though. So bracing himself for whatever disaster those two could be up to, he asked

"I don't know. Where are you?"

"At Jeju, and guess who we ran into?" This time Dongwoo said. Shortly distancing his phone from his ear due to the loud voice, he said

"No i don't. Seriously what the hell are you two playing? Look, if you guys tell me you saw Red Velvet, i'm going to flip. Don't call me for your useless fanboying ok!"

"Ya, shut up and just get down here." Hoya said and Myungsoo couldn't muster the patience in talking with those two anymore. Pressing gently his temple for the headache, he was slowly getting, he said with an annoyed tone

"Ya, why the hell am i going to go all the way to Jeju? Do you seriously think i have that much time in my hand..."

"Lee Sungyeol is here." Dongwoo interrupted and it was all it took for Myungsoo's mental system to shut down. Like litteraly.

"What? Wh.. What do you mean he's there? Why?" Myungsoo stammered clumsily.

"We don't know. But apparently he's here for personal reason. So if you want to have some quality time with him, you should get your here." Hoya said and from his tone, Myungsoo can easily make out the teasing expression he must have at that particular moment. Myugsoo decided to ignore it though and instead, he cooly said

"I'm not that desperate. Anyway i got to go."

"What... Hey wait, are you seriously playing hard to get now? Ya.." Hoya was still talking then but Myungsoo wasn't listening anymore. Instead, he hang up the phone and turning to Jae Hee who had been attentively scrutinizing the good looking man's every expression, he said "Hey, we still haven't got that staff bonding vacation yet haven't we?" Jae hee frowned at the cheeky grin but nodded anyway. Unaware that, that was for sure a mistake on her part.

 

Woohyun was pissed off. No in fact he was beyond furious. He had really tried to remain calm and collected with that guy who was supposedly an amazing business man but seriously after two hours with him, he already wanted to strangle the man. Slowly massaging his temple, he said humorlessly

"Ya, Sunggyu ssi are you seriously trying to annoy me? Or you're naturally this annoying?"

"Omo, is that a way to talk to someone you need so to export your product?" Woohyun forced a smile he knew was unnatural and said with evident annoyance

"I'm sorry i didn't mean to hurt your feeling. I was just trying to get to know you better Sunggyu ssi."

"Oh, then how about doing so by having dinner with me. How about tonight?" The i would, Woohyun wanted to retort but he bit back the very tempting words and reminding himself that Sungyeol needed this deal to push through, he said reluctantly

"I don't think that would be necessary. We'll be working together quite often anyway so what's the point?" Sunggyu spared one glance at the clock then said

"If not for dinner then have lunch with me. I'm hungry."

"Sunggyu ssi, please, can we just quickly get this over with so you can go and have lunch. All we have to do is talk about the price of things, how we'll get our product overseas with great quality..."

"Which would take us more than a few minutes. However my stomach can't wait that long. So either you come with me and we'll talk it out while having lunch or you can wait for me here. You can take your pick Woohyun ssi." At those words the man didn't even wait for Woohyun to give him an answer and he was already at the door. Leaving a very flustered and annoyed Woohyun behind who seriously couldn't quite place any word on how he felt at that particular moment. He agreed on one word though. The guy was really infuriating. Sungyeol better return quickly 'cause if he didn't he wasn't sure the deal will push through at all. Taking in a deep breath, Woohyun mentally encourage himself and finally followed the man out to whatever restaurant he crave for.

 

In Jeju, Sungyeol was just as displeased as Woohyun was. He had found out that the room he booked had been given away and so he ended up in double room. He wouldn't mind the idea so much if not for the fact that his room was just beside a couple who were a little too loud when they were having one of those heated moment. Can someone actually scream that loud? Was she actually having pleasure or was she screaming out of pain? Sungyeol didn't know and didn't try to know anyway. Walking out of the room and into his patio that at least where quiet enough, he composed by heart a number and waited as the phone rang. It didn't take more than a minute for his call to be answered. With a tender smile, he asked

"Hey pesky boy, how are you doing?"

"Oh hyung, you finally call. I thought you had forgotten about me." Sungyeol heard Dayeol pouting voice said on the other line. And he instantly felt bad for having left him without news for so long. Ever since the massacre, Dayeol hated it when he didn't have news of Sungyeol. It made him uneasy to the point that he wouldn't eat or sleep until he was sure Sungyeol was alright. His fear of losing another member family was as severe as Sungyeol's and probably much worse and Sungyeol knew that. But being that Sungyeol had to be careful most of the time in case, he was being monitor by his foe, he refrained calling him too often to keep Dayeol as long as possible in the dark. No one should know he was alive. Not until he took care of whoever wanted them dead first. Sungyeol knew that Dayeol hated it. But fortunately he never went against Sungyeol's decision. And that only made Sungyeol feel even worse for putting his younger brother through so much.

"I'm sorry, but i can't call you as often as i would liked. But don't worry this won't last very long. Just give hyung a little more time ok? I promise this matter will be taken care of very quickly."

"I trust you hyung. And i understand. I've waited 6 years already a little more or less is nothing to me. Just... Just take care of yourself, hyung. Those guys..."

"I know. Are you sleeping these days though?" Sungyeol asked, swiftly changing the subject. Thankfully Dayeol played along for he answered with a laugh though it seemed forced

"Well just as much as you do, i guess." Sungyeol inwardly wince at that and felt even worse for leaving his little brother behind. After all, come to think of it Daeyeol could only sleep if Sungyeol was beside him. Sleeping alone must be terrifying, especially if his nightmare were as vivid as his. Damn it! If it were for Sungyeol, he'll be taking the first flight back to LA to his brother but that would mean more hiding for his little brother. And he wouldn't be able to live with having his brother forever hidden from the world. Dayeol deserved so much better. And Sungyeol was ready to bet his life on it togive him the chance to live his life to the fullest. With a soft expression, Sungyeol said in a tone he only had for his brother

"Hey, go see Kai hyung and tell him you need an UP. He'll know what it is. When you'll have it get him to call me ok?"

"A UP? What's that?"

"You'll know when you'll have it." A knock could suddenly be heard. With a frown, Sungyeol told Dayeol he'll get in touch with him as soon as possible and asked him to have what he asked from Kai hyung by the time, he finally hang up and walked towards the door with still his confused look. After all, the room service had already came in a while ago, and he hadn't call samchon yet and so the man didn't know he was here. Who could it be then? When he opened the door, Sungyeol didn't even have the time to make a move, he was grabbed by the collar and before he knew it, his lips hit those of another. Sungyeol guessed it was a girl though from the taste of gloss he had in his mouth. As to who it was though, it was sort of unsettling. For only one person was bold enough to do this however she would have to be here in Korea to do it. And last time he checked, she was flying to Japan for a drama. When his agressor finally released her hold on him, Sungyeol was about to scold her when his eyes landed on a silhouette behind the woman that were even more familiar. And from the looks of it, he just saw what happened. As well as a bunch of other people Sungyeol recognised as Myungsoo's coworker. Which leads him to the very question he was having while looking into those onyx who were fixed in his. Why the heck was Myungsoo here?
