❝ DISTANCE ❞

Just like the flash, the morning came in quickly. Hongjoong wished that morning come, he want the soil to eat him whole.

He is awake, the captain is also awake. The young Kim pretended to be asleep, thinking that maybe in this way, the captain won't bother him. And he is right but after the captain left the bed, another weight was added on the bed.

"Who the fuck—"

Hongjoong slowly turned, pretending that he was awaken by the unfamiliar weight, the person immediately left the bed and stood there, awkwardly.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know that the captain has someone on his bed!" He apologized, while the young Kim gently brushed his eyes and saw a young man, looking like 18 that has a blonde hair.

"No need to apologize, so.. why are you here?" Hongjoong questioned, sternly but in reality he was nervous, maybe this person is closer to Seonghwa than he is. "I'm Huening Kai! But my friends calls me Hyuka or Kai." The young male paused, "today, I'm here because the captain told me to accompany both of you to Unbi." He added, Hongjoong nodded at such information.

"Maybe you were the another 'one' that the captain was talking about." Hyuka added once again, earning a nod from the sleepy Kim. Huening Kai smiled at him, then left after.

"Unbi Villa? For what though?"

He shrugged, then stood up from the bed. While walking towards the bathroom, he accidently bumped to the captain who was fully dressed and looking like he finished his breakfast.

"Kim, eat your breakfast first before taking a bath. I already prepared your clothes." Seonghwa stated, as if nothing happend between them last night. The captain gave him a small smile, then went downstairs.

While Hongjoong was walking downstairs, he saw Yoojin, sitting at the opposite side of Huening Kai. As the lady landed her eyes upon him, he felt that the lady is sending daggers to him.

"I see, I see. No need to be jealous of me, jeez."

The young Kim squinted his eyes, the lady seemed to not remove his focus from him, then he needed to look smart and gorgeous.

"Mom didn't raised a weak bitch."

Hongjoong fixed his posture in the way he did unintentionally, then had his eyes half lidded, looking like a sleepy man. He then sat beside Huening Kai who seemed unfazed at the tension between him and Yoojin.

"Finally, let's eat now guys!" Hyuka cheered, thinking that the two is in good terms. "We should, the captain wants us to be fast." Yoojin stated sternly, putting her eyes away from the man.

She admits that he's good looking but she doesn't wanna lose to someone who the captain just met.

While the three was having a not-so-good breakfast, the captain went downstairs. Hongjoong seemed to notice that the man is exhausted, or he's just over analyzing.

"Kim, take a bath quick, we're leaving in an hour." Seonghwa requested, then going back upstairs. The young Kim did what as the captain requested, he swiftly finished his food and went upstairs next to the captain.

As he opened the captain's door room, he saw how much of a tired the captain is. Seonghwa was lying down at the long couch, holding his temples, carefully massaging them to ease his headache.

"I shouldn't. He told me to take a bath."

The young Kim went to the bathroom and took a bath, it only took 15 minutes to finish and changed into a white blouse and black pants, he also wore a brown jacket and a small scarf around his neck.

"Now what the fuck is this?"

As he finished doing all the captain asked, Hongjoong saw Seonghwa, still lying at the couch, arms over his eyes.

The captain is wearing a creme sleeve that has carefree ends and a dark brown jeans along with black shoes.

"This motherfucker, requests and do things, acts like nothing happend last night. Are you still in good mental state?"

He shooked his head, then walked towards the captain who seemed to be sleeping. Hongjoong sat at the floor, aligning their face at the same height.

The young Kim slowly removed the arm over the man's eyes and slid his bangs sideways to see the better look of the captain's face.

"You look majestic, as always." Hongjoong spoke silently, a smile forming into his lips, making himself realize what he was saying and doing.

"What the fuck, Kim Hongjoong?!"

He slightly slapped his cheeks and shooked his head. Then, he slowly placed his fingers at the man's temple to massage it, removing the headache that the man was experiencing.

"I didn't know that my mother's lesson could help right now."

He smiled, then giggled softly as he remembered his mother telling him that everything he teaches him could help him in near future.

"Thank you." A man spoke, surprisingly it was the captain who looked relieved just by being massaged. Hongjoong just nodded and continued until the captain cues him to stop.

Seonghwa shifted his head, then leaned at the young Kim's shoulder, then to young Kim's chest which made Hongjoong taken aback. "I haven't forgot about last night, I'm just too tired to talk and to think." Seonghwa informed, earning a nod from Hongjoong.

"Okay then, rest on me."

The captain is much confused as Hongjoong. He doesn't know, does he like Hongjoong? Or he just loves being around him? Or both? He doesn't really know, that's why he kept doing what he feels until he find out what is it really.

"Captain, Mr. Kim! The carousel is already here, please proceed downstairs!" Huening Kai shouted, alerting Hongjoong who was holding the captain.

"Park, wake up, they're already calling." The young Kim nudged Seonghwa but he didn't moved any limbs but made himaelf more comfortable.

"Let me rest for a minute, you don't want me to just sleep randomly at Unbi, do you?" The captain spoke as if he was threatning the other that he'll sleep randomly. "Then, can you make me atleast sit at the couch? My shoulders are getting sore." Hongjoong replied, earning a smile and nod from Seonghwa.
