Cute moments

"Damn it—why do I feel so angry…

Why does it feel like something heavy is sitting on my chest, not letting me breathe…

What the hell is this feeling?!"

Jin was now standing in his office, overwhelmed by his own thoughts.

He had barely slept at all

Last night had left him wide awake, unable to calm his heart…

And every time he thought about that filthy man putting his hands on Smart's body,

he felt himself losing his mind.

He had spent long minutes staring at the papers scattered across his desk, trying to sketch designs, but he couldn't focus on anything…

With a frustrated sigh, he grabbed his phone and started typing.

In another area of the building, Smart was finishing the photoshoot for the new clothing collection, and everything seemed to be going perfectly

He had quickly become one of the photographer's favorites — and not just his.

Almost all the female models were completely smitten with Smart.

Sometimes they even whispered about him in the hallways or in the dressing rooms.

Smart heard them, of course, but he only smiled to himself and acted as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

He went to the dressing room to get ready. When he picked up his phone, he saw a message from Jin:

I'm waiting for you outside.

Let's talk

Smart exhaled softly and replied with only one word:

Okay.

Let's see what plan you have this time… and how far you're willing to go, he thought, smiling lightly as if he was already planning something in his mind.

He wore loose dark blue jeans and a dark green hoodie without a hood. Grabbing his bag, he headed toward the exit.

Jin was leaning against the car, waiting

The moment he spotted Smart, he gestured for him to get in.

Smart smiled softly and walked over, sliding into the car effortlessly.

Damn, that color looks so good on him, Jin thought, sneaking a glance from the corner of his eye.

Meanwhile, Jin wore a grey casual set—hoodie and joggers—from his brand, exuding effortless charm and style

— Where are we going? — Smart asked quietly.

— Are you scared? — Jin replied without turning his head.

— Should I be? — Smart said, glancing sideways.

— What do you think? Do you have a reason to be scared? — Jin teased, trying to make him nervous

Smart turned to face him with a sweet smile, his voice soft and sincere.

— I think I'm in safe hands. There's no reason to be afraid, right? — he said, turning his head back toward the road

Jin was nearly breathless at how cute Smart looked; he hadn't expected that reaction.

At that moment, all he wanted was to stop the car and kiss him endlessly.

His palms grew sweaty on the steering wheel, and his uneven breathing filled the car.

Smart noticed it and felt his heart swell with joy.

He smiled faintly, turning his head the other way so Jin wouldn't notice.

The fact that Jin was so handsome made it impossible for him not to sneak glances every few seconds.

This didn't go unnoticed by Jin either — he too wanted to watch Smart's every move.

— Almost there, — Jin said in a serious tone, finally regaining his composure.

It was late afternoon, the sky perfectly clear, and the fresh air filled everything with life.

They arrived at a tall building, and after getting out of the car, took the elevator to the top floor.

That floor was a beautiful and cozy place, carrying the sweet aroma of coffee and desserts.

The shelves were filled with bright, colorful cookies in all kinds of shapes and flavors.

The pastel-colored walls and soft lights shining on the tables gave the room a warm, lively atmosphere.

The city view from the window was breathtaking.

Jin knew very well that Smart would love it — he had chosen the place especially for him.

Smart was speechless, walking around and looking everywhere in amazement.

Jin watched him silently, admiring him.

In his mind, he could only think one thing — he couldn't wait for Smart to become part of his life.

He wanted it to happen as soon as possible.

He felt impatient… eager.

Suddenly, a hostess approached, greeting them politely and leading them to their reserved table.

It was right by the window, with a view so perfect it looked like a painting.

They sat across from each other, and Jin immediately noticed the hostess smiling at Smart.

His face darkened instantly.

— I assume your work here is done, right? - he

said, giving her a pointed look

Smart noticed the hint of jealousy in Jin's eyes, and he enjoyed it more than he expected.

He turned to the girl on purpose, gave her a small smile, and thanked her.

Jin saw that and let out a short, ironic laugh.

"Go ahead, smile as much as you want…

because I'll be the one to take that smile off your face.

That smile should only be for me," Jin thought

- What will you order? - Jin asked Smart in a

serious tone.

"Why the hell does he look so cute when he's

annoyed?" - he thought, smiling inwardly

- I'll have a cappuccino, not too bitter, please

Ah, and some cookies too, - Smart replied

Jin watched him with admiration, thinking he

was iust as sweet as his order.

- Mr. Jin - Smart called teasingly - what about

you?

Jin couldn't hide a smile. He leaned closer

lowering his voice:

Until yesterday, you just called me Jin... today

why "Mr. Jin"?

- Ah.I know... but now I'm officially your

employee, so I have to call you by your title

Though, now that work is over, should I ust call

you Jin? - Smart added, smiling flirtatiously

Now Jin was completely lost.

He had thought Smart was shy, but clearly, he was wrong.

Smart was surprisingly flirtatious — this would make him lose his patience, Jin thought, taking a deep breath.

— How can one person have so many contrasts? — Jin thought

-Shy and flirtatious

-Cute and teasing

-Handsome with a look that could seduce.

He had everything Jin wanted.

Now that he had him this close, there was no way he'd take a step back.

— I'll have an iced americano, — he told the waitress.

— Iced americano? So bitter! How can you drink that… ugh! I can't! My stomach would die! — Smart said, touching his face dramatically.

Jin just watched, mesmerized by his playful behavior.

Smart knew exactly how to win people over — one smile, one glance, and it was over.

The order arrived, and the first thing Smart did was try the colorful cookies.

He looked at them as if each one were a little treat just for himself… and Jin couldn't help but watch, feeling a thrill at how effortlessly cute and enticing he was.

Suddenly, a cookie appeared in front of Jin's face.

Smart held it out, teasing him with his eyes, just to see his reaction.

A small, mischievous smile appeared on his lips—but almost instantly, he looked down, cheeks slightly flushed, shy again.

For a moment, it was as if there were two Smarts in one: playful and teasing… yet shy and reserved.

Meanwhile, Jin couldn't take his eyes off him. He was completely lost in Smart's gaze.

Jin took the cookie and ate it slowly, his eyes on Smart

Smart gave a small, playful smile, ther

quickly looked away, pretending to focus on the city view.

Jin's heart raced. That little mix of shyness and mischief drove him wild. Every glance, every tiny movement from Smart made him want to pull him close, kiss him, and forget the world around them.

If he keeps acting like this every day, Jin thought, I won't be able to resist for long.

With gestures this sweet, I'll go straight to the point.

He will be mine soon."

"—Why did you call me here today? Are we talking about work?" Smart asked.

"You know I'm not a model, so if I'm not good at it, just tell me, and I can leave immediately," he said on purpose.

Damn, here he goes again with the same topic… as if I didn't already tell him this is off-limits.

The words "I can leave immediately" hit Jin's ears like a spark.

The thought of Smart leaving him made his heart twist.

Clenching his iced americano tightly, he spoke in a cold tone:

— Don't even think about leaving. That's impossible for you now. It's no longer your choice, okay?

Smart looked confused but could clearly sense Jin's deep interest in him.

He had noticed it before, but this moment confirmed it even more.

Inside, he was enjoying Jin's reaction — and wanted to push it further.

He leaned closer and whispered softly:

— Why can't I leave? What's the reason?

Wait, I think I know… I'm just too good of a model, right? — he said with a teasing smile.

Jin was slowly giving in to that adorable face.

Every plan he had made was falling apart.

He wasn't just fascinated anymore — he couldn't resist him.

— You're already a good model, and soon you'll be the face of Deep Style, — Jin said, laughing.

— Hey, Jin, don't tease me! You're just saying that to make me happy.

— No, I'm serious. Even the photographer said you're perfect for this job, — Jin insisted.

— Okay, okay, I believe you, — Smart said sarcastically.

— Smart, tell me something about your life and routine… I want to know you better, — Jin said.

Smart opened his eyes, surprised, feeling a light thrill.

— I want to get to know my employees better, — Jin continued.

— Surely I must look so naive, and he thinks I'll believe this, — Smart thought, smiling lightly.

He thinks I haven't noticed how his eyes devour me every time we make eye contact… Let's see how long he can hold back before wanting me completely.

— Okay, then tell me, what do you want to know?

— Tell me everything you think you can share, — Jin said, never breaking eye contact.

"Let's give him as little information as possible…" Smart thought, already amused.

The less Jin knows, the more curious he'll get.

He stepped forward, offered his hand, and looked straight into Jin's eyes.

— Hi, I'm Smart, he said, giving Jin's hand a light squeeze—

just enough to provoke.

That small touch sent a shock through Jin

shaking something deep inside him,

For a split second, he wanted to pull Smart closer, to feel him up against his chest.

His thoughts were starting to get out of control and only Smart's voice brought him back

— I'm 24, and I live here with my younger sister

She's the most important person in my life.

— If I'm not wrong, we moved here about three years ago.

— I like listening to music, watching series, going to the gym, and hanging out with friends.

Jin listened carefully to every word, paying

attention to the small things- the way Smart spoke, the short pauses he made,

and that quiet confidence in his voice.

— That's enough for now, Smart said, releasing Jin's hand slowly.

And somehow… letting go felt even more provocative than the touch.

Jin followed Smart's hand with his eyes as it slowly pulled away.

Oh God, give me patience, he thought.

Why the hell is this person so playful?

I've waited almost two months to have him close… I don't want to waste a single day.

Smart, meanwhile, knew perfectly well how Jin's thoughts were driving him crazy.

He could see it in Jin's eyes—and that was exactly what he wanted.

Jin barely pulled himself out of that storm of mixed emotions and realized that Smart hadn't mentioned: that he worked at the "Light Club" or that his hobby was dancing.

Still, he was enjoying every moment.

— Hmm, okay, that's enough for now, — Jin said, his eyes sparkling with happiness.

— Okay, then tell me something about you now, — Smart said playfully.

Jin took a sip of his iced americano and said in his usual cold tone:

— I think you already know enough about myself. You'll learn the rest as days go by.

It was just an excuse — a reason to see Smart more often.

— No, that's not fair, — Smart said, pouting.

Jin looked at him and smiled quietly.

At least tell me how old you are," Smart said, squinting his eyes.

"That's important!" Jin replied.

"Hmm… it depends," Smart said, taking another cookie and continuing to eat.

Jin couldn't take his eyes off how those beautiful lips moved, completely mesmerized

Smart noticed and held out another cookie.

Jin finally snapped out of it. "Thanks, but one is enough — I'm not much of a sweets person."

"Then will you tell me your age? I'm waiting!"

"28," Jin said shortly.

Hmmm, interesting… he'll probably want to have control over me," Smart thought silently.

"So there's a four-year difference," Smart said again.

"Is that a problem?" Jin asked, leaning in a little closer.

"Not at all! Actually, it's pretty nice," Smart replied with a smile.

Jin watched him and was simply amazed by him.

So adorable!

"Smart, these days I need to be away for work. Maybe two or three weeks. Will you be okay on your own?

When Smart thought that he would be gone for such a long time, his heart almost stopped.

He was ready to scream, Don't go… please… but he couldn't do anything.

"If you mean about work?

I'm not alone

Mei is always with me…

Plus, the staff and the other models are friendly with me," Smart said.

The other models?

In so few days and everyone is going crazy after my Smart…

Damn it, when will you understand that you will be only mine, and those eyes will look only at me

Okay, then I'll try to come back as soon as I can," Jin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, take your time. Finish your work and then come back," Smart replied.

A few moments passed and finally they decided to leave.

Smart felt an emptiness inside and couldn't bring himself to speak the entire ride home.

Jin noticed it, and even though he should've felt happy that Smart was sad about him leaving… the opposite happened.

He felt sad together with him.

They arrived near Smart's apartment.

And just as Smart was about to get out, Jin grabbed his hand.

Smart turned his head and looked at him surprised, while his heart was doing its own thing, beating fast and refusing to calm down.

Jin took a bag from the back seat and handed it to Smart.

Smart looked at it, confused.

"What is it?"

"This is for you," Jin said.

Smart opened it and saw an outfit from the newest collection, one that hadn't even been released yet.

"Jin…" Smart said, "I can't accept this! It's too much… the collection isn't even out yet!"

Jin looked him in the eyes and spoke softly,

"I want you to be the first one to wear it, and I'm not expecting you to argue with me."

After trying many times, Smart still couldn't convince Jin.

He took the gift and headed toward his apartment…

Jin disappeared into the darkness, while Smart went upstairs and immediately tried on the outfit

It was a dark purple hoodie with lighter shades in a few places.

The hoodie had a few distressed cuts that made it look extra cool.

Matching with it were the same-colored sweatpants.

He looked at himself in the mirror and whispered softly:

"Jin… you've officially gone crazy about me, haven't you?" he said with a small smile
