Bubu
✧ — ✧ — ✧
A gray morning light filtered into Smart's room, waking his tired, half-asleep body.
Smart woke up with a burning desire to see Jin.
The moment he opened his eyes, his first thought was simply: Jin—not the audition.
Three letters that carried more weight than anything else in his heart.
All he wanted was to share this joy with Jin, hold him endlessly, and thank him for entering his life.
He hoped that soon there would be no more secrets between them.
He picked up his phone and stopped at the name My Jin, ready to call—then hesitated.
✧ — ✧ — ✧
A soft morning light filled Smart's room, while another gray ray crept into a different part of the city.
It slipped quietly into Jin's room, stirring his half-asleep body… and his tangled thoughts.
He opened his eyes, and in his mind, that hand tracing Smart's abs appeared, clear as day.
He tried to stay calm, keeping his anger in check.
"Smart… you're mine."," he murmured, lifting his head to look at the cloudy sky above.
The stunning city view stretched beyond the glass wall.
An autumn vibe gave off a quiet positivity.
Jin glanced at his phone, reading those messages again, a small smile forming at the corners of his lips.
He wanted to hear Smart's voice, but he was still upset about last night.
He set the phone down and headed straight for a shower.
In that moment, the phone lit up—Smart's name flashing on the screen.
✧ — ✧ — ✧
Smart let the call ring all the way through, hearing only silence!
Hmm, my Jin, what are you doing? Where are you? You never leave my calls unanswered this long…? — Smart thought.
He got up, made himself a coffee, and stepped out onto the balcony to take in the breathtaking view.
He sat down, savoring every moment of that cloudy sky he loved, soaking in every bit of that beauty.
A lot of thoughts ran through his mind.
The desire to be with Jin every moment, to share every joy and happiness with him.
The desire to make that piece of dream come true.
The desire to have his parents close by.
He pulled out his phone 📱 and started a video call 📹.
"Hey, Mom! Good morning! How are you? How's Dad?"
Her sweet, beautiful face appeared on the screen.
"Good morning, son! How are you? Dad's here too."
Dad leaned closer to the camera, smiling.
"Morning, son! Are you okay?"
Smart took a deep breath, feeling a wave of longing for them.
"We're fine, don't worry! I just want you to be at ease. Zoi is doing really well."
At that moment, Smart felt footsteps behind him.
"And here's the little monster!" he laughed.
Zoi appeared immediately on the screen.
"Mom, Dad, I love you so much! I've missed you a lot!"
"And us too, beb!" her voice full of longing.
"We can't wait to see you," added Dad, blowing kisses from the screen.
Zoi jumped onto Smart's lap, hugging him tightly and kissing his cheek.
"Don't worry about us! We're doing really well."
Smart laughed, turning his coffee, and asked again,
"How are things over there? Is everything okay?"
"No worries, son — everything's perfect," Dad chuckled lightly.
"And don't forget to eat breakfast, and every meal," Mom added in a commanding voice.
"Smart, don't forget to cook for your sister, okay?"
Zoi giggled.
"Hmm, you're destined to cook for me forever!" — and stuck out her tongue.
"Come on now — go take a shower and get ready for your English class," Smart said, gently nudging the little mischief from his lap.
"Mom, Dad, love you so much… muah!" — she blew them a kiss and ran off.
"Ju duam shumë! (We love you so much!)"
"Edhe ne ju duam pafund! (We love you endlessly too!)" Smart said, his heart pounding with emotion.
"All right, son — go now! We'll talk again later. Kisses!"
The video call ended, and Smart's mind drifted back to him.
Why isn't he calling me?
He must be awake by now, he thought, glancing out over the city and losing himself a little in the view he adored.
✧ — ✧ — ✧
Jin got ready, grabbed his phone and car keys in a hurry, and stepped outside.
He jumped into the car and drove toward the company—he had a meeting in a few hours.
✧ — ✧ — ✧
Smart's eyes stayed glued to his phone, but no messages, no sign of Jin.
"Okay… let him call me when he's ready," he thought, gazing at the city view that looked absolutely stunning that morning.
He spent a few moments lost in thought, then couldn't wait any longer and reached for his phone again.
Jin was driving when, suddenly, he saw Smart's name appear on the screen.
Even though he was feeling annoyed, seeing Smart's name made his heart beat even faster!
He didn't answer on purpose.
Only after a few seconds did he call back.
Smart had his phone in hand and answered immediately!
📞Smart
"Hey… were you asleep? I called, but you didn't answer!"
📞Jin
"I didn't hear it!" His voice was sharp and cold.
Smart felt it, took a deep breath, and stayed silent for a few seconds.
📞Smart
"I… just… hmm…"
Jin smiled lightly, sensing a hint of fear in Smart's voice.
📞Jin
"What? What is it?"
Smart realized Jin was being distant…
📞Smart
"Are you driving to work?"
📞Jin
"Yes… I have a meeting," he replied curtly.
Smart had no words and didn't want to push too much. Jin's cold tone froze all the morning's emotions.
📞Smart
"Okay… drive safe, Bubu."
Jin heard that word and froze. His foot slipped off the gas.
📞Jin
"What… what did you just say?"
Smart felt sad and didn't want to continue the conversation.
📞Smart
"Drive safe! Talk later."
The call ended.
Jin was stunned, his heart racing like crazy!
"Bubu" — that word stuck in his mind!
He didn't know why, but it had sounded so cute to him.
"He probably felt bad about how I acted and hung up," he whispered to himself. Then he grabbed his phone and typed:
✉️ "Did you miss me?"
Smart read it and smiled lightly.
Now he's behaving well!
Even though he was dying of longing for him, he chose to stay stubborn.
He waited a few minutes and then simply typed:
✉️ "No!"
Meanwhile, Jin was on the phone with an important business partner when he saw that message.
He immediately cut everything off.
He closed the call right away, apologized, and tried calling Smart again… but no answer!
"Hmm… he must be upset," he thought.
A wave of awkwardness hit him, and he kept trying the phone again and again.
"Damn!! Didn't I tell you to pick up that damn phone immediately every time I call??
You're going to drive me crazy, I know it!!"
Smart saw the missed calls but kept sipping his coffee on the balcony, taking in the autumn view of the city.
"Didn't think that through when you spoke to me like that… now deal with the consequences," he muttered to himself, eyes on his phone, staring at Jin's name that kept popping up nonstop.
A few moments passed and the phone didn't ring again.
Smart kept glancing at it.
"Maybe I should have picked up? Is he gonna go crazy now?" he thought, taking another sip of his coffee.
"Hmmm… why the hell do I want to see his cute face so badly today?" Smart wondered again, then headed to the kitchen to grab a small cookie.
Not even a few moments passed when another message popped up on Smart's phone.
✉️ "I'll give you 5 minutes to come down!!
"Better not act stubborn."
Smart smiled ironically, but his heart was racing.
He couldn't hold back the pressure any longer, he thought, getting ready to go downstairs.
He slipped on his sneakers and headed out immediately.
When he saw Jin leaning against the car, a cigarette dangling from his lips, he just melted completely.
Jin had a meeting and needed to dress somewhat seriously today.
A pair of black pants and a trendy white shirt.
Half of the shirt tucked in, the rest left loose.
His hair was lightly combed, falling over his forehead and grazing his small eyes.
"Damn… is this cute creature really mine?" Smart muttered, walking toward Jin.
"How many times do I have to tell you to answer your phone immediately?
Do you want me to lose my temper?" Jin's voice sounded a little irritated.
"Ah… sorry, I didn't hear it," Smart said, raising his hands slightly and shrugging, as if he truly meant it.
But really, he was just repeating Jin's earlier words.
God… this guy is seriously going to drive me insane!
He's playing with my patience, enjoying it, and flaunting his confidence.
Something no one's ever dared to do before!
Fuck… how long is it going to take me to bring this troublemaker under control?
Or rather… the hell, will I ever? Jin asked himself, not letting a word escape his lips.
Smart stood a few steps in front of him, arms crossed, radiating a presence that made him seem untouchable, like nothing could faze him.
Jin studied him, a small but deep smile forming on his lips.
"Come closer, my stubborn one," Jin said, taking a drag from his cigarette.
Smart looked him over from head to toe, his gaze stopping on Jin's shirt, slightly open, revealing more of his body than it should.
He shifted his posture immediately, dropping his crossed arms and taking a few slow steps toward Jin.
"Don't you think you've undone too many buttons?" he asked, letting his gaze drop to Jin's chest before slowly lifting it back to his eyes.
"Or is that exactly what you want?" Smart continued, raising one eyebrow.
Jin smiled softly as he looked into his eyes.
He leaned back against the car in a more seductive way, taking a drag from his cigarette.
He enjoyed Smart's jealous reaction.
His eyes lowered toward Smart's lips, then lifted again to meet his gaze.
"Right now," he whispered in a low, tempting voice,
"are you tempted to button them up… or undo them even more?"
The words came out provocatively as he deliberately licked his lip.
Smart looked at him and froze.
He just wanted to step closer and press himself against that dangerously sexy tongue, to enjoy it endlessly, until he was overwhelmed by his own desire.
His imagination drifted into erotic scenes, but he immediately snapped back, refusing to fall for the provocation.
He reached out toward the buttons of Jin's shirt and slowly began to close them, looking him in the eyes.
"I guess you got your answer," he whispered softly, in a low voice.
Jin felt him so close and immediately wrapped one arm around his waist, pulling him in.
"My little stubborn one… are you jealous?"
Smart smiled and pushed him back slightly, keeping eye contact.
"Tell me… why are you here?
Didn't you have a meeting?"
"As long as you miss me, I'll come from the ends of the world for you," Jin said, placing his thumb gently on Smart's lips.
"The meeting can wait!"
Smart lowered his gaze to Jin's beautiful lips.
"Bubu! You blind or what?
Didn't you read the message right?"
It was a *No*.
Jin didn't break eye contact.
His hand tightened around Smart's waist, fingers pressing into his skin.
"If you ever call me like that again at a time like this, I swear…
I'll lose all control.
I won't need a bed to make you mine.
I'll do it in that car. Here. Now.
Do you understand?"
When Smart heard those words, his whole body trembled.
Just the idea that it could happen in the car sent him completely over the edge.
If his body had a mouth, he would have screamed.
What the fuck are you waiting for?!
Smart took a deep breath, refusing to let the excitement take over.
"Okay, enough—back to work now," he said.
Jin grabbed him by the arm.
"You're coming with me."
"Jin, what are you doing? Today's my day off!"
"You'll spend your day off with your boyfriend. Come on, get in the car! No more discussion!"
"Jin—don't be so clingy! Go focus on work," Smart said, gently touching his face.
Jin took a deep, annoyed breath.
"Tell me… what's your plan today?"
"Today, I'm meeting Han, since Ren is probably busy with Leo," Smart said lightly, chuckling.
The moment Jin heard that name, his eyes darkened.
His breathing tightened, and his anger rose.
"Didn't you spend the whole damn night with him yesterday? Missing him again?
Fuck… I want to erase Han from your life," he thought, struggling to keep his tone under control.
Jin lifted his gaze and met Smart's eyes.
"Who is your boyfriend?"
Smart rolled his eyes, thinking about teasing Jin a little.
"Hmmm… do I even have a boyfriend?"
Jin lowered his head and laughed, frustrated.
"This guy… even at the peak of my irritation, he's pushing me further!" Jin thought, remaining silent for a few seconds.
He took a deep breath, realizing he had already stretched his patience enough.
Now Smart needed to prepare for the consequences—Jin wasn't going to take a step back.
He had been annoyed enough at that damn party… after those damn scenes he had seen.
"Enough now! Everything has a limit!"
As he threw that damn cigarette to the ground, Smart's soft voice rang out—just enough to tame that beast again.
"My Bubu, standing right in front of me! He is my boyfriend."
Smart could feel Jin's anger rising.
It was enough to look into his eyes to understand exactly what he was going through.
On any other day, he would have chosen to push Jin even further, to provoke him to his limits—but not today.
Today, he wanted to be close to him, to hold him, to feel his warmth.
He wanted to share the happiness from last night with him, even in silence, without saying a word.
"It was enough just to have Jin by my side."
Jin looked him straight in the eyes and smiled, realizing how clever that cute face was.
"You're like a chameleon."
Smart's eyes widened.
"What do you mean by that?"
Jin didn't answer. He grabbed him firmly by the arm and immediately pushed him into the car.
"Since I have the honor of being your boyfriend, all your free time belongs to me. Okay?"
Smart gently caressed his bangs.
"Okay, okay… calm down. Fine. I'm sorry I pissed you off, okay, Bubu."
Jin's soul smiled at those words, but his nerves still hadn't settled.
Inside, he was still burning.
Smart saw that Jin wasn't giving in and moved a little closer, trying to win him over with sweet words.
"Hm… should we do our *therapy*? The ten-minute one?" he asked, trying to lighten Jin's tense mood.
Jin lightly caressed his hand.
"Hmm, okay," he said in a slightly calmer tone, though it still sounded somewhat cold.
Smart fastened his seatbelt and turned toward Jin, looking at him with those big, sweet eyes, as if he wanted to devour him whole.
Jin stayed silent, the anger still boiling inside him.
Smart had been stubborn since early morning, and for that, he was going to pay.
Jin glanced at Smart from the corner of his eye and spoke without turning his head:
"Then… start.
I'm waiting!"
