"Sami! "
Samin instantly snapped his head at the voice of his sunshine and turned around just to get his breath knocked out of his chest when the body collided with his own at full force.
"Hmph! "
"Allen? “ Sam says softly when he hears Allen sniffling in his neck. He pulled him closer with one arm wrapping on his waist and with another he started stroking his hair to calm the younger.
"I'll m-miss you" Samin smiled at the confession and pulled him flushed against his muscular body, nuzzling his hair inhaling the fresh scent.
"I'll miss you more"
Allen pulled back a little and sniffed cutely. "I'm sorry"
"It's okay" Sam calms the other as he rubs his back comfortingly.
"Sam! Your car is ready" Another man from the gang, Wang Jackson called from behind.
Allen pouted, making Sam sigh. " I have to go now Al`~, see you in a few days, okay? " The latter didn't say anything and pulled back, wiping his tears.
Samin felt bad but he can't do anything to cheer up his sunshine who is gloomy at the moment making him feel guilty for being the reason for those sad tears.
"I am sorry" He lastly said and kissed Allen's forehead, taking him off guard at the gesture and he soon stepped away with a small smile for the younger.
Allen breathed out feeling his cheeks heat up and placing his hands on his chest where the organ called heart is beating wildly.
Is that butterflies in my stomach?
He thought as a shy smile spread across his lips in realization that he still could feel Sam's lips on his forehead.
They felt so soft and warm.

"What's wrong , West? " Min exclaimed as he observed the male standing in front of the mirror glass in the VIP booth of his club watching outside for quite a while.
"Nothing" He replied shortly, distracted while taking sips of his wine.
Yuta walked closer, stood beside him looking out where the mafia's eyes were fixed. Now understanding the reason behind the distracted mafia and where his attention was drawn to, rather than whom.
"Do you want me to book him for you? " Yuta says knowingly.
Jacob looked at him confused " Huh? " .
Yuta scoffed. " Come on, West. It's been a week you've been regularly staring at that prostitute, of course he took your attention.! "
Jacob stayed silent sipping his wine as he saw Noah swaying his hips sensually on the beat at the biggest stage in the club.
"I am surprised you're interested in him. Never knew your gay ass is able to do that" Yuta chuckle with a shake of his head.
Jacob smirked and glanced at his partner. " He's still a male so I don't see any problem "
" What's the matter Jacob? " Yuta asked, now facing the mafia with a serious face.
"It never took you so long to bring your interest in bed more than ten minutes, so, what's so special this time that it's been a week and you're still watching him from afar "
Jacob smirked as he watched Noah sexily swaying his bottom and opening his shirt buttons
"He's enchanting, isn't he? "
"So attractive yet so sexy, looks so innocent yet so sinful, so perfect that I want to ruin him" Jacob gulped down all of the wine placing the empty glass on the table behind him.
Yuta looked at him with a raised eyebrow. " Then why don't you ruin him? "
Jacob looked back at him with the same smirk still present on his lips " Not so fast. "
" Quit excusing and tell me the actual truth! " Yuta impatiently asked.
The mafia boss sat on the sofa and lit up his cigar, blowing out the bundle of white smoke and sighing deeply.
"I want to know more about him"
"Why!? You never felt the need to know about your other baby boys before! " Yuta pressed ,eager to know what his partner was up to.
"Because he's not just a baby boy, Min" Jacob replied calmly, closing his eyes and resting his head on the back rest of the couch.
Yuta sighed, sitting on the couch opposite to the other's, staring at Jacob.
"Then what is it? "
He doesn't know, what he knows is that he keeps him distracted, keeps his attention always and is bugging his mind with just his presence.
Jacob opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling as he exhaled the smoke.
“That's what I want to know, “ he said, watching the white smoke cloud above.
“Who is he? What's his name? His background? His family? His reasons and …..” he looked at the other present sitting before him.
“And him in general…”
And he will know it,because the brunette dancer dared to distract Jacob West from his work. It irritated him how he managed to do so without the knowledge of it.
Yuta smirked at the younger one.” Did you by any chance find your permanent baby boy huh!?”
The mafia boss laughed loudly at his partner,it amused how the older knew him more than anyone. “You know me so well”
“Without even f****** him? Who are you making a fool of,West?” .at this rate Yuta was now very curious to know the real meaning behind the actions of his boss.
“ Did you take a liking to that stripper?”
Jacob looked at him for a minute without any kind of emotions present in his eyes as he filled the wine for himself and took a sip.
“That's none of your business” the reply was calm but collected with the warning of not invading the mafia's personal matters.
Yuta chuckled , “Fine, I will bring his information to you tomorrow ”
“No need for that” Jacob declined, twirling the red grape liquid in his hands.
“What?! Don't tell me you already did that beforehand, huh! I can't believe this!. Jacob West finally found the one ~”
“I didn't “
“Then why? Didn't you take an interest in him? '' Yuta asked with confusion written on his face.
“I did. That's why I don't need any information about him ” Jacob gulped down the bitter sweet red liquid and stood up, going towards the glass door again and stared at the enchanting male dancing on the stage for the assholes who were roaring at his every sensual move.
“I don't understand anything West!. What are your intentions!? “
“I do want to know about him, everything precisely…” the raven head reasped out pointing at the dancer V and smirked. “With his own mouth.”
“And how can you do that?”
“ With patience” the mafia replied, looking back at the smaller male.
“That’s my rule number 6: The West always handles matters with patience because impatient decisions always ruin the situation..”
“And I don't like messing up my matters.. Specifically the one which take up all my attentions”
“I want him but not in a way you think, but in a way even i want to know about” Jacob says as he looks back at the stripper who had finished the dazzling show for the lust hungry hyenas running backstage as the roar of clapps and lustful dirty remarks were being thrown at him.
“And only he can give answers to all of my questions..”
It infuriated the mafia at how that beauty had been messing with his mind the whole week, there's not a day he hasn't been thinking about the pretty male.
“You're not making any sense ,Jacob!” Yuta sighed heavily as he made a glass of wine for himself.
Jacon crushed the ashes of the tobacco stick glancing at the pale male.
“I don't express my emotions with the intention of making any sense!,they have to make sense because they dare to trouble Jacob West!”. The cigar was being squeezed in the calloused veiny hands as the mafia's irritation on understanding his emotions was being questioned.
He is going crazy at the thought of someone who is the kind of person the mafia would not even give an ounce of attention other than having pleasure and toying with them for his liking is playing with his mind like he rules it, even without his knowledge.
“You like him..” Yuta asked. More like stated in his words.
Jacob stared at him with furrowed eyebrows and scoffed. He pushed his chiseled raven hair back, closing his eyes.
He’s irritated,annoyed. That dancer is trying to interfere in his mind, creeping the veins of his body that leads to that cold black organ that's beating inside his chest.
He has to find out the reason before it reaches there where it is only consumed with darkness and is dangerous to stay.
“I don't know- but” Jacob gazed at Yuta and spoke
“He sure is different”

“What?! Are you out of your mind, Noah!? Do you even know what you are saying!” Jaemin yelled at the male who was sitting down at the edge of the bed and fidgeting with his fingers while looking down.
“Are you in your f****** sense!” Noah looked up at him and mumbled.
“I don't have any other choice, min!”
“Yes you have! We can do anything but that! I won't let you do this to yourself” Jaemin growled angrily as he paced around the room back and forth while huffing in madness at Noah.
“Please Jae!, try to understand” Noah pleaded.
“No,Noah! You try to understand! Isn't it enough that you’re serving yourself to those bastard's mercy for hours that now you want to serve all night!” Jaemin cried out as he held his tears and backed away when Noah tried to come closer to him.
“I have to pay the installment this week anyhow or Liam’s treatment wont continue. I can't take that risk by just sitting and waiting for a miracle to happen. I have to do something!” Noah softly explained to his furious best friend for the ninth time in an hour, but the latter refused to listen and calm down.
“Fine!, We can arrange money from somewhere, I will find another job! I will also include my savings too and we-- we can do anything ! But not that ! I won't let you go through that !” Jaemin instantly said and nodded when he was done.
“From where?” Noah sighed.
“I won't let you waste your savings for me nor can you find a job that quickly besides it won't be enough, I need a big amount that can only be arranged if I...I serve for a whole-night” Noah says, hesitantly and fear dripping from his every words while his eyes just shows tiredness.
“I will sell my car” the older boy says while smiling, nodding to himself as affirmation and looking up at Noah with relief.
Noah’s eyes widened at the mention and instantly he shook his head in denial “No! Are you out of your mind!”
“Yes, I am. This is the only option”
“No it's not! You've worked day and night to buy that car, you think I will let you do this stupidity. There's no way!” Noah refuses to let his friend do this,he knows how Jamin adores his car and has seen how much he had worked hard to save money for it, and also felt the happiness dripping from those crinkled eyes and wide smile the day he finally bought it.
“Do you think I f****** care about that! If selling my car saves you from that nightmare then I will do it without a second thought!” the smaller male yelled back with assurance and concern in his features.
“Right! Sell it . then what!? I will pay this installment, maybe the next few ones too.. Then?! Where will I get the money for future ounces? And the medications? What will you do then!? Sell this house!?” Noah growled back in frustration as tears rolled down his cheeks.
“I will, if needed,” Jaemin said, looking him dead in the eyes without any hesitation.
Noah sighed deeply, sob escaping his mouth “That's not the solution , Jae” he let out weekly.
Jaemin looked away while his own cheeks were decorated with tears as he closed his eyes just at the thought of Noah going through all of that . it shook his world at the mere thought of Noah experiencing more torturous nights and days , drowning the pain and misery given to him in the name of money and pleasure.
Noah walked closer to him and wrapped his arms around him,hugging the older tightly while burying his face in the shoulder as he cried loudly.
“It took me a lot of time to convince myself ,Jae. Please don't ruin it. I have to do this. There's no other choice!” Jaemin sniffled as he wiped his tears at the wailing of the younger.
“I will sell my car and I am not listening to you this time,you hear me?!” Noah hugged him tighter as he sobbed.
“You won't do it. If you did anything like that ,Jae. I will leave this house and will never come back” Noah threatened the other as he pulled back.
“Promise me Jae. don't make this hard for me. I can't handle this amount of burden on me. I feel so tired please” Noah begged as he cried with his best friend in frustration and desperation.
“I will feel useless if i let you do this to yourself, Noe`. What about my burden and guilt!” Jaemin asked back as he pushed Noah's hands away from him and backed away.
Noah looked at him desperately and pleading with his doe eyes.” Don't do it”
Jaemin sniffed and wiped his tears away which was of no use as more streamed down his cheeks.
“Fine Noah, do what you feel like to do but just remember one thing…” Jamin spoke as he turned around and held the door knob when he continued . “i will never forgive myself for this”
“Jae--” before Noah could say anything the older male had already left the room and closed the door behind him loudly.
Noah sighs as he kneeled down on the cold floor, eyes burning with frustration and stress but he couldn't even cry as his eyes were dried out with all the tears and the undying tiredness in his body.
He felt no motivation, no hope to go on with his life. The endless path was covered with only darkness,miseries , pain and problems. He could never even imagine his life without anything ruining it.
Noah breathed through the heaviness in his chest and the whirling of thoughts in his mind. With so much happening in his life he just wants to hide himself under the bed to be away from all the bone chilling coldness his life has become, and this world which only is a burden on his shoulders.
He closed his eyes as he collapsed on the cold floor, coldness of the outside doesnt bother him anymore with the freezing chill his situation brings him. Behind those closed eyes is a move of memories-- memories of his once happy and peaceful life that now just felt like a dream.
When will this end?
