Chapter 168: And then, there were these dreams he was having

They finally landed in France, Paris. The city of love, so they say.

Dongwoo stretched his legs and his arms but his shoulders were beyond repair.

He couldn’t believe he slept for four hours straight. Was he that exhausted?

And during that time, the twins slept as well and used his shoulders as their pillow. Couldn’t they have spared him the torture?

’It’s like my shoulders won’t stay up anymore. They keep falling because it feels weak.’ he thought, grimacing.

Then, Seojun dropped his hands on his shoulders and started massaging lightly.

"How is it, Hyung? Does it feel better?"

"Considering you’re at fault, this doesn’t come close to compensation." Dongwoo said, and Seojun laughed.

"Don’t worry, Hyung. I’ll make sure to pay my dues responsibly when we get to the hotel." He said, and Dongwoo could tell he was already cooking up a scheme in his mind.

"Me too, Hyung." Seojin added with a bright smile. "I’m also partly to blame, and I feel sorry, so I’ll compensate you."

’Hm, that doesn’t look like a sorry face to me.’ Dongwoo thought, twisting his lips. ’They just want to use this as an excuse to have sex.

He shut his eyes and thought it through. The fashion show was the next day but it wouldn’t hurt to get some bed action to keep them motivated.

It was their first runway so maybe they were nervous and just wanted to let off some of the stress through sex.

"Alright, I’ll accept your compensation." He said and cleared his throat. "But first, we’ll go sightseeing."

Sungho, who had been staring at Dongwoo for quite a while, summoned courage and finally approached him.

They hadn’t held a decent conversation since he confessed that he had sex with Minwoo after confusing him for Dongwoo.

He was ashamed and not just that... There was a nagging feeling in his chest.

He kept questioning himself, why would he even take such a risk?

Yes, Minwoo was being extra seductive but that shouldn’t have been a reason for him to suddenly give in to temptation and have sex.

First of all, he had never done it with a guy before.

And he couldn’t blame it on curiosity either.

He just... Gave in. Was it really because he felt guilty? Was that all there was to it?

He kept asking himself these questions and wondered if he was secretly gay or bisexual all along but never knew because he had been with Yeonie for so long.

And then, there were these dreams he was having. Weird and lewd dreams that made him wake up to find his underwear soiled.

He wasn’t a teenager, so he should already be past that stage of having multiple wet dreams, but it was there. He tried to overlook it but each time, it made him recall his drunken encounter with Minwoo.

His dreams were replaying that scene and it got worse when he started seeing two of them in his dreams. It wasn’t just Minwoo, but Dongwoo included, but how could he tell? They looked completely identical.

The only difference was Minwoo’s glasses.

As embarrassing as it was, he wanted to talk to someone about it but...

There was no one to talk to about it.

The only one who knew he had a one-night stand with a guy besides Minwoo, whom he had the one-night stand with, was Dongwoo.

So, the only person he could confide in was the very person whose face was plaguing his dreams.

"Um, Dongwoo Hyung," Sungho called, and Dongwoo turned to him while the twins frowned.

But thanks to their nose mask, their frowns weren’t on display. Yet, it showed a lot in their eyes and furrowed eyebrows.

Sungho gulped.

These two were his juniors, but because of what happened then, he had no choice but to humble himself in front of them. He was a sinner, after all.

"What is it, Mr Sungho?" Dongwoo responded.

"You can drop the ’Mr’ already, Dongwoo Hyung." He nervously said, brushing the back of his neck.

"Really?" Dongwoo asked and Sungho nodded. ’Well, I guess we’re closer than before, and there’s not much of a difference in our age status either.’

Sungho was 27 years old. Like any other person in the industry, he had strived to retain his youthful image and bright complexion, having slanted eyes that had a sexual appeal to the audience and soft hair that was soft to the eyes.

He, too, had been hired as one of the models to walk the runway.

Yes, he did make mistakes in the past but that was already behind them.

Yet, it seemed like the image of his mistake would forever stay imprinted in the twin’s mind.

"Alright. I’ll call you Sungho. And you can call me Dongwoo directly. It’s no big deal." Dongwoo said and the displeasure in the twins escalated to a whole different level, boring their eyes into Sungho as they glared daggers at him.

’Haha, I believe it’s a big deal for them.’ Sungho cleaned his sweat.

"Then, ’sunbae’," Seojun got close. "You wouldn’t mind if we called you directly by name, right?"

He has a smile behind his mask but Sungho could see it was not a smile that meant well for him. He gulped.

"Yes, sure. You can... You can call me by name."

He wasn’t a traditional person who would stick to such formalities. In the first place, the twins were considered foreigners, so they weren’t mandated to follow the rules of the country and act formerly every here and there.

"Thank you, ’Sungho’." It was eerie.

The way they called him, it was as if they were threatening him.

’I might just be the one overthinking it.’ he thought.

"So, Sungho," Dongwoo called. "What did you want to say? You approached with a reason, right?"

Sungho took a few seconds to recall his original intentions and finally did.

"Ah, yes. I was wondering if I could talk to you." He said and muttered. "I... I have an issue."

"Then visit a therapist." Seojin ’kindly’ suggested.

"Seojin, be nice." Dongwoo said and turned to Sungho. "Is it an urgent matter?"

"Not really."

"Then, can we talk about it later? They’re getting impatient because they want to go sightseeing already." Dongwoo said and Sungho nodded.

"Of course, I understand." He said. "It can wait."

"Alright."

"Well," he scratched the corner of his face, averting his eyes as he shyly said, "...can I... Maybe tag along?"

"What?!" The twins exclaimed and expressed their disapproval of moving with their likes of him.

It was harsh but it was to be expected.

Yet, Dongwoo looked past the twin’s disapproval and said,

"Sure. You can tag along." Even if he wanted to go with the twins alone and finally spend a lover’s outing together, he couldn’t exactly decline without providing a reason.

Sungho’s face brightened. But just then, one of the crew members approached and said,

"Sungho Hyung, the director is looking for you."

’My angel has done it again.’ Dongwoo thought, thankful for the turn of events. "Oh no, it seems you won’t be able to tag along." He said. "Well, next time, I guess. We have to get going."

Sungho was sad at this new turn of events. Well, maybe he wasn’t meant to go with them after all.

Who knew if the twins would suddenly lock him up in an abandoned warehouse? With that thought, he shivered.

He didn’t know how those two were able to act so pure and sweet in front of so many people, especially Dongwoo when they had this dangerous and deadly vibe.

They looked like they were capable of killing just to get what they wanted.

’I don’t know if they pretend so well in front of Dongwoo or if he is aware of that side of them but just doesn’t care?’ he thought but realized he shouldn’t be having those thoughts. ’What am I thinking? It’s not like they’re dating or anything.’

He turned and just then, Minwoo walked past him.

For a brief moment, their eyes locked gaze, and it felt like the world around them had slowed down, making that very moment where their eyes met seem like a decade of untold and unrealized feelings.

Minwoo looked forward and walked past like nothing had happened but they both clearly felt it. That spark that was this close to igniting a monstrous flame.

Sungho paused for a minute and touched his chest.

’What was that just now?’ he wondered and clenched his fists. He turned around to leave. ’Whatever.’
