The Assassin's Enemy Lover

Zi Han noticed that Yi Chen was out of it but he didn’t say anything. While lying there he suddenly noticed he was shirtless thus he asked, “What kind of fucked up things did I get up to last night?”

Yi Chen chuckled as he got up his expression like that saying, ‘you don’t want to know.’

Zi Han sat up and stared at him with a puzzled expression. As soon as his figure disappeared into the walk in closet Zi Han got out of bed and followed him.

He stood behind Yi Chen who was putting on a grey t-shirt with his back to him. With his arms crossed on his chest, he asked, “You aren’t going to tell me?”

Yi Chen’s fingers that were about to pull down the hem of the t-shirt paused for a moment before he continued to get dressed.

With slight mischief in his eyes, he turned around and faced Zi Han their closeness apparent. Yi Chen didn’t stop moving forward forcing Zi Han to take a step back.

In two to three steps Zi Han felt a hard surface behind him. Trapped with nowhere else to go, he said, “What are you trying to do?” their gazes locked together.

Yi Chen raised his hand with slight hesitation. His fingers moved towards Zi Han’s ears like he was about to touch him.

.....

Zi Han felt his heart palpitating for some reason. This had never happened before. He had touched Yi Chen a dozen times before and vice versa but his heart remained calm each time.

But now Yi Chen hadn’t touched him yet and he was already feeling a sense of unease. He subconsciously dodged and Yi Chen’s eyes darkened.

His fingers changed trajectory and he grabbed a pair of pants from behind Zi Han. “Somethings are best remembered by oneself otherwise if I tell you about it you won’t believe me,” he said before taking a few steps back.

Zi Han wanted to say something but when he saw Yi Chen reach for the bath towel wrapped around his waist he shut his mouth and turned to leave.

With his back towards Yi Chen, he heard him say, “I prepared a set of toiletries for you. It’s everything green in the bathroom.”

Zi Han turned his head back and unexpectedly met Yi Chen’s gaze. It seemed he had been looking at him this entire time.

Zi Han flinched as he hastily looked away. As soon as he stepped out of the closet he scratched his head a little vexed. He couldn’t understand what the fuck was wrong with him today.

He absentmindedly stepped into the shower and as the warm water touched his skin he felt a great sense of relief wash over him.

He closed his eyes while pushing his hair back. He tried to recall what happened last night but no matter how hard he thought it through nothing came up.

Meanwhile, Yi Chen who had been avoiding his light brain suddenly unlocked it while instructing the housekeeping robot to make blueberry oatmeal.

The first message he saw was from his father asking him where he was but as he

scrolled down the series of messages became angrier and the tone was that of reprimand.

He was still trying to make sense of everything when Li Ran called him. He accepted the video call while taking out some hangover drink from the fridge.

“Hey. Did you check Starnet? Last night’s incident was trending but don’t worry. I took it all down and changed the narrative,” said Li Ran with his feet up on his desk his face looking especially horrible like he was having a massive hangover.

Yi Chen didn’t understand what incident he was talking about thus he asked, “What incident?”

Li Ran rubbed his eyes while yawning. He ruffled his hair and said, “The pool incident last night. I thought your old man would have scolded you already.”

Yi Chen looked at the amount of missed calls and messages on his light brain and suddenly had a headache. “Thanks, I didn’t even notic-,” he said only for a shirtless Zi Han to walk downstairs. His body was steaming faintly and his skin was a little pink from the hot shower.

He looked like a half-cooked lobster ready to be eaten. He was like a tasty treat parading itself in front of him. Hypnotized, Yi Chen unconsciously twisted the cap open and handed him the hangover drink.

“Thanks,” said Zi Han while standing beside him. He was about to ask where his clothes went when Li Ran exclaimed,

“Oh shit!! Why are you....”

Before he could even finish the video call was cut and the kitchen fell into silence.

Yi Chen watched Zi Han guzzle down the drink. He subconsciously took a step forward and his fingers touched the pendants dangling on his chest and whispered, “Your nipples are hard.”

Zi Han, “.....”

Zi Han choked on the drink and began to cough while creating some distance between them. As he wiped his lips with the back of his hand he glanced at his nipples which were as flat as they can be.

“Sheesh, when did you become a fuckin pervert?” said Zi Han with slight annoyance.

“I have always been one just only for you,” he said with a slight quirk at the corner of his lips.

Zi Han, “...”

‘Aish.... why do my cheeks feel hot? It’s probably from the shower,’ he dazedly thought while rubbing them.

“Your clothes are washed and dry. I put them on the bed. Now hurry up and change so we can have some breakfast,” said Yi Chen while taking out some bananas and blueberries.

Zi Han just shook his head as he walked up the stairs. Sadly he missed the mischievous grin on Yi Chen’s face that grew bigger by the minute. If Zi Han had known trouble was coming he might have cherished this moment more.
