Burning
Han was lying in Smart's arms, waiting impatiently for a reply from him.
He was starting to feel strange!
A tightening in his chest.
A sweat running across his body.
Breathing heavy and labored
Smart heard it and laughed, keeping his eyes locked on Han as he teased him again.
Think you can take it?
Han couldn't take his eyes off Smart's lips.
Full, soft, perfect, and so tempting!
His mind was failing him.
Something was off, and he couldn't control it.
The desire to taste those lips was growing fast.
"Dare to ask… and you'll see," Han said, letting a warm breath ghost over Smart's lips.
Smart smiled lightly.
"You little troublemaker…
So you've learned how to tease too, huh?
Careful, you might just end up falling for it!"
"Now sit down, and no more drinking tonight!"
"I'm not sitting down," Han murmured, wrapping his legs tightly around Smart's waist.
""I… I'm really happy for you today. I… I…"
His voice faded.
His heart was pounding fast and uncontrollably, and he couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence.
Han knew very well what that opportunity meant for Smart.
He and Ren had been by his side through every emotion tied to that dream.
Through every shift in mood, every moment of frustration, every spark of hope and disappointment while he fought to reach it.
"I know, I know… you love me a lot, right?" Smart said with a soft smile, gently wrapping an arm around his waist.
Han only nodded, not saying a word.
He squeezed his hands tightly around Smart's neck, resting his head on his shoulder.
"I love you too," Smart added quietly.
"Now calm down… let go of these overwhelming emotions, okay, my little boy?"
His fingers slid gently behind Han's neck, soothing him with a soft touch.
That touch made Han tremble with excitement!
It wasn't the first time Smart had spoiled him, but it was the first time Han felt something different.
A feeling he couldn't name, one that had appeared without warning.
He realized he just wanted to stay in Smart's arms for hours, never letting go, never breaking the closeness of their bodies.
Smart shot Ren a look, asking him to help get Han down.
"Do I need to deal with you and hold you every second?" Ren scolded, grabbing Han by his clothes to pull him down.
"Enough games… stay calm now!
And no more drinks for you until we leave, okay?"
Han just pulled a sulky face—like a child whose ice cream had just been taken away.
In that moment, Han felt shocked at himself.
He couldn't understand why those words had even come out of his mouth.
"What the hell… what did I just do?
I think I've had too much and my mind isn't right
Damn it… I need to clear my head," he thought, rubbing his head.
✧
The whole scene unfolded through Jin's eyes.
By now, he had no words left to say.
Just a few hours of that night had been enough to drive him completely crazy.
His dark eyes, burning with jealousy, shot flames like a lit cigarette.
He had reached the point where he didn't even know which issue to worry about first.
Ester, climbing onto Smart.
The famous boys of the ' US' group,practically dying to have Smart near them.
Han, kissing and holding Smart like he truly belonged to him.
Or the entire crowd below, devouring Smart with their eyes.
Not to mention the choreographer.
So many matters had become urgent problems that needed to be solved…
Leo didn't know what to do anymore, and he didn't have the strength to make Jin pull himself together.
"I don't want Han near Smart!" Jin yelled, pounding his fist on the table.
Jin – "You can't go that far!
You can't interfere in their friendship!
Leo spoke up in a calm voice, trying to make Jin understand:
Smart has Han right by his side like a little brother, and you can't stop them from being together.
Don't forget, Smart comes from a different culture, and kisses and hugs are just a normal part of how they express themselves.
They don't see it as anything strange, like we might."
"You spoke well… Smart comes from a different culture! But not Han, right?"
Jin's voice turned colder as he added, ""He was the one who threw Smart into his arms."
"Still, Han likes girls, so you don't need to worry about him," Leo continued calmly.
But Jin didn't care about what others liked or their orientations.
He just didn't want anyone close to Smart.
✧
Han needed a drink, but he couldn't do it in front of Smart and Ren, since they wouldn't allow it.
He carefully stepped away and moved a little distance to order a drink.
He lit a cigarette, taking a few quick drags like he was nervous.
He was just lost in thought, not really knowing what was happening, when out of the corner of his eye he noticed a girl standing near him, watching.
He turned his head, and there she was—a brunette with long hair, beautiful and sweet.
"Hey, handsome," she said in a soft, sweet voice.
She didn't say that word without reason.
It wasn't the first time someone had spoken to him that way.
Han was only 22, but damn—he was so charming, with a truly unique face.
Around 170–175 cm tall, elegant, with a well-shaped, almost perfect body.
His black hair, slightly messy, fell over his forehead; a strong jawline, well-shaped eyebrows, and dark eyes gave him the look of a confident, trendy guy.
"This is the moment to let some weight off my mind," Han thought, taking a sip of his drink.
He greeted her with a light smile and moved a little closer.
The girl laughed softly, looking him in the eyes.
She had actually been watching Han from afar for a while, waiting for the right moment to speak to him.
She gave him a sly wink, silently asking for a cigarette.
Han pulled out one and lightly placed it between her lips, brushing them gently with his thumb while holding her gaze.
He pretended to search for a lighter, but even though he had one in his pocket, he didn't take it out on purpose.
Then he leaned a little closer and lit her cigarette with the one in his own mouth.
They sipped their drinks, laughing and having fun with each other. She lightly touched Han's hand for a moment—just a playful flirt.
After a while, they got up and started moving to the rhythm of a sensual song.
Han wasn't a dancer like Smart, but he was pretty good—he had rhythm.
Their bodies pressed close, creating a slightly tense atmosphere.
She moved even closer, her body teasingly near his, thinking Han might go wild after her.
Han was used to these kinds of games.
He had never been in a serious relationship, since he didn't want responsibility or commitments.
He preferred just short moments and fleeting experiences, without overthinking.
In these moments, his mind and eyes often wandered to Smart.
He wanted, at all costs, to get his mind back under control, since it had completely gone out of function.
She leaned in, gently grabbing Han by the neck and bringing him closer to her face
Han met her gaze, then slowly lowered his eyes to her lips.
Just as he was about to speak, she pressed her lips to his.
She kissed him with a quiet intensity, holding him close.
Han wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her in.
He kissed her at the same steady rhythm, captivated by her soft, perfect lips.
His tongue brushed hers, making her gasp softly.
The kisses continued for a few moments, until Han's eyes caught sight of the same person heading toward Smart.
He paused immediately, gave her a quick apologetic look, and stepped back to join his friends.
✧
The choreographer walked over to Smart again and called him aside.
"Smart, honestly… the boys watched your performance and agreed—no need for you to audition like everyone else.
They already want you in their dance group," he said, glancing casually toward the US group boys on the second floor.
Smart's eyes met theirs, and he gave a small, confident wave, a smile playing on his lips.
✧
Jin couldn't take his eyes off Smart, watching his every move.
Smart's face glowed under the soft lights of the pub. In Jin's mind, everyone else faded away, and only the beautiful face of his boyfriend existed.
A small, bittersweet smile appeared on his lips. He lingered on that beautiful sight for a moment before returning to reality with a calm, cold tone.
He took the last drag of his cigarette.
"I see how hard they're trying to reach their goals.
But what's mine… no one touches it," Jin whispered to Leo, crushing the almost-finished cigarette on the table.
✧
Smart felt a bit awkward about the offer.
It was more than just an opportunity, and anyone else in his place would probably jump at it immediately.
He took a deep breath, thinking it over, but he still couldn't go against his own principles.
"Thank you… and thank the boys as well for this opportunity," he said, hands in his pockets, making himself look even cooler.
"But this… this just doesn't work for me. I'm sorry."
"There are so many people out there just like me, dreaming of dancing.
They make sacrifices, face disappointments, and confront their fears for their dreams.
I truly want to achieve this dream, but not this way… not this easily.
If it's an audition, then let it be fair for everyone.
Let everyone have a chance to be chosen by the professionals.
Let there be a fair competition, and let the best one win.
And if that's not me… then I have to accept it."
Den was even more impressed by Smart's demeanor—something few had at his age.
Mature, fair, and incredibly sincere.
He couldn't let Smart slip away as a dancer; he was truly one of the best he had ever seen.
Tall, with a perfect, sexy, and cute body, and a face almost impossible to forget.
His expressions changed with the rhythm of the music—cute, fierce, sexy… whatever the dance demanded.
His dancing moved on a level few could reach, a talent not everyone possessed.
"That was a pleasure to meet you, but let's leave it at that for now," Smart said, extending his hand.
"Oh no, no—we'll see each other at the audition then.
I definitely want you there!
Don't make the mistake of missing it," Den said with a smile, before walking away.
✧
The emotion from those few messages lasted only moments.
Now, everything had faded.
Jealousy made Jin forget all those sweet words.
"Leo, get up, let's go," Jin called without turning his head.
"Wait… we're really leaving?" Leo asked, surprised, his eyes flicking toward Ren, who was still at the bar with the others.
"That's enough for tonight."Now it's time to act.
Getting heated won't solve anything."" Jin said.
He put on his sunglasses, pulled his hoodie over his head, and stood up, rushing toward the exit. He pulled out his phone to make a call.
Leo didn't quite understand what Jin meant by all this.
He quickly paid the bill and hurried after him.
"Jin—you're calling someone at this hour?" Leo asked, bewildered.
Jin didn't answer. He just kept dialing.
Someone picked up.
"I want you to finish a job for me!" Jin ordered sharply, then hung up.???
Leo hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Jin by the arm.
"Jin—I don't know what you're thinking, but don't do anything you might regret later!"
"Get in the car, or I'll leave you here," Jin said, yanking his arm with force as he moved toward the car.
He sat down in the car, hands gripping the wheel.
Taking a deep, shaky breath, he let out a raw scream, as if releasing everything he had been holding inside.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fu—fuck!" He slammed his hands hard against the steering wheel.
Leo just watched, saying nothing.
He let Jin get it all out, letting him release every ounce of tension he'd been holding inside.
""Smart! I swear, you'll regret this damn night.
A night that felt as long as a lifetime.
You made me feel every possible emotion.
Tomorrow— I swear.
One wrong move from you…
and I won't show you any mercy."
He leaned back into the seat and took a deep breath.
"Jin—let me drive," Leo said, looking him in the eyes.
"We're not leaving yet," Jin replied, his voice sharp and commanding.
"What are we waiting for?" Leo asked, rolling his eyes in confusion.
