Description
“So?”
Jongup glanced down, tangling his fingers in Youngjae’s hair and scratching gently at his scalp. “So what?”
Youngjae sighed contentedly at the feeling, pressing into Jongup’s hand slightly and not missing the younger boy’s smile of amusement. “So? Are you going to take the job?”
Jongup’s smile dropped into a frown and he glanced toward the closet. Youngjae remained silent, waiting for him to speak. Finally, after several long moments, Jongup took a deep breath and nodded. “I am,” he said surely. Youngjae smiled slightly, wrapping his arms around Jongup’s waist and giggling.
“Seoul, here we come.”
