The sun was beginning to set over Seoul, painting the sky with shades of orange and red. Johan leaned against the railing of the building's rooftop, his gaze fixed on the horizon. He didn't say anything, but his tense body spoke more than any words. Jace, who was standing a few meters away from him, could feel the discomfort in the air.
âWhatâs wrong with you?âJace asked with a slightly annoyed tone, crossing his arms. I knew something was bothering Johan, but the other had remained silent since they had met a few minutes ago.
Johan clenched his jaw, clearly upset, but he tried to maintain his composure âNothingâ
Jace scoffed, rolling his eyes âOh, sure, 'nothing'. Itâs always 'nothing' with you when you're clearly mad. What did I do this time?â
Johan finally looked at him, his dark eyes shining with a mix of frustration and... pain? âVascoâ
Jace blinked, surprised âWhat does Vasco have to do with any of this?â
âWhat it has to do with is that you're always with him. I saw you today. You were smiling and laughing with him... and that bothers meâ Johan crossed his arms, looking away again âI donât see you smiling like that with meâ
The comment caught Jace off guard. He had never thought Johan could be... jealous? Jace sighed, slowly approaching him âJohan... Vasco is my best friend. You know that.
Jace stayed still for a moment, processing what Johan was saying. Then, without warning, he stepped closer and put a hand on Johanâs shoulder, forcing him to meet his gaze.
âJohan... Iâve never been interested in Vasco that way. Youâre the one on my mind. Only you.
Johan looked at him, surprised by the sincerity in Jace's voice. For a second, he seemed to relax, but then his eyes hardened again.
âThen prove itâ Johan whispered, leaning closer to him, his words a challenge âStop giving so much attention to everyone elseâ he said, pouting.
Jace huffed, amused by the ridiculous scene of jealousy his boyfriend was displaying. He knew Johan wasnât good at expressing what he felt, and this was the closest thing to a confession of jealousy he would get from him. Without saying another word, Jace stood on his tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, a gesture that served as his answer.
âHappy now?â Jace murmured, still close to Johan.
God Dog stared at him for a few seconds before a slight smile crept onto his face âFor nowâ
