Point Of View
– Third Person –
“Sandra! We’ll be back late okay? Let mom and dad know. Thanks!”
Trusselle told her sister while taking his way out of the house and Joon was waiting next to the car.
Out of excitement Joon opened the door of the car for Trusselle and the latter didn’t expect it but they both smiled.
“Just drop us at the nearest mall Greg and we can take it from there.”
They shared almost half of the day by just wandering, eating food, playing around and name it.
I was not sure if this was appropriate to mention but he’s making me feel safe, he’s a gentleman like I was really a younger brother to him.
Joon felt so cared and important.
“Do you want to eat or buy something before we go home?”
Trusselle asked then walked a little faster ahead of him and now walking backwards as they faced each other. He liked doing this whenever he wanted to ask Joon what to do, to eat and where to go.
“No it’s okay. I know you’re tired now.” Joon refused his offer to consider the time.
I must admit that I was experiencing new things because of him and I felt more comfortable with him now.
He’s getting to experience things he never did before and he’s surprisingly enjoying it.
“Sure. I know you’re tired too. I hope you had fun with me today.” the other agreed and went back walking next to him.
Trusselle was really nice and the whole day he has been getting a lot of attentions as girls were always turning their heads to check on him..
One thing Joon got to observe was the attention Trusselle’s getting in public. Most of the girls were checking on him but they never met the man’s eyes.
He raised his right hand to rub Trusselle’s back gently and slowly. He felt like doing it while they’re walking and it’s really his way of being grateful.
They met Greg at the exit and had a long drive to home due to traffic. Joon never expected that a deafening silence would happen since he thought that it won’t happen again after they slept next to each other. Trusselle was silent and never talked again as soon as they got in the car.
“What happened to boss?”
Was Greg’s question to him when they got off the car. He shrugged not knowing the reason why and they watched Trusselle got in the house.
“He was just okay earlier.” Joon said to himself.
He noticed that it’s already quiet inside the house, giving the idea that they’re already sleeping.
He followed Trusselle and he couldn’t help but to think of what’s going on with him.
“I can sleep in the living room, you know on the sofa.” he suggested when he closed the door behind him.
He must admit. He was getting scared of Trusselle now. He didn’t know why he went silent for no reason and it’s confusing him.
“No. You’re sleeping here.” Trusselle replied calmly while starting to change clothes. “Oh yeah. I got extra clothes here that you can change into. Like pajamas or any smooth pants good for sleeping.”
He nodded and followed what he said not wanting to make any mistake.
Once done putting the pajamas on he took a deep breathe and made his way to the bed. Trusselle was already in the bed.
“D-do we have a problem?” he was hesitant but felt the need to ask.
The other turned his head and their eyes met.
He smiled weakly trying to guess what’s really going on.
“I’m sorry. I just felt tired I guess.” Trusselle replied with a soft voice patting the space next to him.
He slowly got in the bed and had this feeling that everything went back to normal.
Trusselle turned his body sidewards to stare at Joon. He felt guilty for being cold to him all of a sudden.
“Did I make you uncomfortable?” he asked but the other tried his best to avoid facing him.
“I’m sorry.” he mumbled.
For a minute they stayed in that position and in complete silence.
Until Trusselle decided to hold Joon’s right hand.
“I had fun. Goodnight Joon.” he said sincerely and closed his eyes. “So warm.” he whispered enough for him to hear it.
Joon didn’t move feeling how fast his heartbeat was getting.
He let few minutes to pass before grabbing Trusselle’s hand back. He’s starting to question himself as to why he’s feeling safe and comfortable when next to him.
He moved and turned his body to face him, they were now facing each other and he got the freedom to stare at him.
There was a sudden feeling of bothersome and he was worried about what happened earlier.
He’s admitting that he didn’t want to see that side of Trusselle again, the quiet and uninterested expression.
He was thinking that Trusselle must be very tired and probably not used in wandering all day and he felt sorry for making him do that.
Few minutes had passed until he moved more closer to him and raised his arm a little to reach Trusselle’s back.
It was like his body automatically did that without his knowledge and will. The hug he never thought would be initiated by him.

Another night has passed and a great morning was currently happening.
“Hey this is good. Mine is.. hmm how about strawberry? Can you make one for me?”
Trusselle was having his way downstairs when he heard his mom and eventually got a complete view of what’s happening.
He smiled secretly to see Joon enjoying himself with his family.
But that’s not the case and his presence was noticed.
“O-oh hi? Good morning!”
“Trusselle son.”
“Come on Trusselle, we cooked breakfast. Join us.”
But that’s not the point.
“He’s not supposed to do that. He’s on his rest day and he should be taking his rest.” he pointed out trying to let them know he didn’t like it.
“N-no it’s okay.”
He turned his head to look at Joon who gave an assurance tone with a smile.
“See? Joon is a good guy right mom?” Sandra claimed. “This little korean.”
“Yes in fact it’s Trusselle who’s making him tired. He asked Joon out yesterday, that’s an all day walking right?” his mom retorted.
He sighed when he saw his dad laughing. This was how his family worked together whenever they had the opportunity to attack him.
“We’re eating breakfast outside.” he said and joined them at the table.
Watching them bond comfortably brought happiness to him and he can see that Joon was enjoying the atmosphere
“Where are you guys eating?” his dad asked.
“I don’t know. Joon said he’ll take me somewhere.” he replied after tasting the strawberry Joon made for his mom.
“Try mine. I requested for this, Mocha.” Sandra offered and he tried it.
He smiled thinking that Joon must be a legend for making frappes.
“I see. We can give you ride guys since we’re leaving at 8.” his mom said and looked at Joon waiting for his reply.
Now Joon was meeting his eyes and he knew he’s asking for his help.
“No mom it’s okay, thanks. We got it.” he assured his mom.
“You sure? Anyway, Joon are you coming on Saturday?”
His whole attention was caught big time at the moment his dad made that question.
“Hey? What’s that? What’s with that question? Coming where?” he asked curiously.
“The Coffee Bazaar will be having their christmas break on Saturday.” Sandra answered.
Joon was just watching them innocently.
Trusselle was having this feeling of wanting to be upset because he felt like he was left behind with that information but it’s impossible since he’s seeing Joon’s face in this situation.
“You guys didn’t invite me?” still he frowned at his sister.
“What?” Sandra replied and laughed. “We’re not coming. It’s a store outing.”
And he nodded in defeat.
“We are allowed to bring 1 person like a family member or a friend. Y-you can come with me though? If you want?”
They all turned their attentions to Joon who just regretted talking.
“Sandra right? We can invite?” but still asked hoping that he’s not being annoying.
Sandra can’t help herself but to laugh and told him how adorable he was.
“Yes you can.” she assured and that settled everything.
“Should they try to not let me come I’d definitely fire them right away.”
Trusselle said that made his sister roll her eyes.
We continued chatting, killing time.
They continued chatting to kill time while enjoying their frappes. Sandra never missed the chance to talk about what Trusselle said.

– Joon –
“Come. Believe me the food here is good.” I assured Trusselle, I brought him to a place that he has never been.
I entered the store and I missed the smell of their food.
This place was just few meters away from my apartment. I usually ate here when I had time.
“Are you sure you wanna eat here?” I asked chuckling when he entered the store too.
“You’re confusing me. Do you really want to take me here or not?” he huffed that made me laugh.
“‘Come on.” I nodded.
“Two orders of noodles please and make the other spicy.” I ordered once we reached the counter.
“Hey what’s that?” I heard him whisper while we can freely watch how they made the order.
“Meat balls.” I replied whispering too.
“Meat balls? What’s that?” he responded and he’s very curious.
I just shrugged and chuckled at his curiosity.
Few minutes had passed and he still hasn’t touched the food in front of him since it was served.
“It tastes good. This is one of my favourites.” I tried to convince him.
He stared at me for a second and started trying his food.
“See?” I said in excitement while watching him do his first try.
He smiled and had his head down. Was he shy?
“It’s my first time eating in this kind of place.” he nodded and digged 1 more shot. “I feel great though. I mean because you took me here.”
It’s like there was a smile escaped from my mouth. He was having his head down that gave me complete freedom to focus on him.
I liked how he styled his hair.

– Trusselle –
“And I mean it.” I spoke to my mind not wanting to raise my head.
I was feeling so shy. How did those words come from me? I meant it but Joon was driving me crazy yeah.
The silence between us made me feel uncomfortable. Did he not like what I just said?
I was about to say something when I heard a different voice.
“H-hey Joon? Yeah Joon?! H-how are you? I knew it! I will see you here today!”
I raised my head and I didn’t know who he was. It’s a guy around our age.
It was like my eyebrows turned curve automatically when he hugged Joon.
“Yes? John? I’m just wondering how you’re doing here every morning. I mean we always eat here together when have time.” Joon said in happiness.
Happy? Seriously?
I saw that Joon threw a glimpse on me. I can’t help but to feel out of place.
Did I just.. do that?
I thought I just turned into like a puppy?
Another! Did I really do it?
Sighed.
“O-oh y-yeah. Mr. Ellison, n-nice to meet you.” I heard the guy has said making me wonder right away why he knew me but my focus was still on Joon.
Joon smiled at me finally, I nodded.
“I t-think I better get going. I’ll see you around Joon! I’ll just call you later.” the guy said in hesitant and greeted me again before leaving.
Once he was out of sight I sighed and continued eating the food I was facing. This was my first time eating this and to be honest it’s incredible, it tasted good!
“He’s John, my colleague.” I heard Joon say.
Oh I see. So he worked there.
“Are you guys that close?” I asked curiously.
Why was I even asking?
“Kinda? I mean all of us at work are close like a family. We got that good bond together.” he replied with a smile on his face.
It made me feel relief hearing that. It’s good to know that they were enjoying their work with each other. Especially Joon, he was happy thinking about it.
Forget about that guy, nothing to be jealous of.
Wait, jealous? Who, me?
“Anyway are you really inviting me to the outing? I mean store’s outing.” I asked meeting his eyes.
I loved this view.
From his pale skin, his cheeks were like blushing. He was probably enjoying his spicy noodles?
“I d-don’t have anyone to invite anyway. I j-just thought it would be nice to go with you?”
I didn’t know what to feel, seriously! If I would feel happy for hearing that he’s thinking of going with me or to be sad because he didn’t have anyone to invite.
I felt the same feeling. I wondered how it feels to be alone like him, no family at all.
He needed love, we all deserve love.
“S-sure I can go. But we will be having our own room. Okay? I mean I’m sorry yeah but I can’t join them.” I was honest.
Good thing it’s holiday so I won’t be needing to attend my Taekwondo class. Though the competition was approaching real fast.
“By the way Trusselle, later in the afternoon I’ll go to my apartment to get some of my clothes okay?”
I frowned and raised my head looking at him.
“Why? I mean you can wear my clothes. Don’t you want them?”

– Joon –
I smiled weakly hearing his question. I was still with Trusselle. We’re almost done eating our food.
He asked me a question regarding me using his clothes. I didn’t know how to respond to his question.
“So does that mean you’re not comfortable wearing my clothes?”
I raised my head to look at Trusselle as he made another question.
I felt guilty hearing a different tone of his voice.
“I am just not used to this thing. I mean I can even say that you’re m-my.. my first friend.” I tried to explain my feelings but was failing to.
I looked down once our eyes met when he raised his head.
“I told you it’s okay. I can be your brother and you can be my little brother, then we can share things. So don’t feel uncomfortable okay? Perfect right?”
I nodded a yes, convincing myself it’s fine.
We both smirked as he started raising his eyebrows playfully.
He can always make the atmosphere light and comfortable.
“I was just scared of you since the first moment I saw you, it’s because you’re that type of a guy. You know.. like you beat people.” I started reminiscing the first day I saw him with her sister. “I never thought you will be this kind though.”
I can hear him chuckling.
“I’m just stating a fact okay?” I said trying not to laugh.
He’s being cute again.
“You’re right. But I think I’m only like this to people I like? You know.” he replied shrugging.
Then I must be very lucky right? I wish he would still be the same once he knows my secret.
I enjoyed the day, we had some small talks and wandered around after we ate.
It’s a great morning with him.

– Trusselle –
“Trusselle done! Anything else? Would you like me to pack some food?”
I sighed. She’s always treating me like a kid.
“Mom thanks for the book.” I replied trying to think of something to bring.
I asked my mom to book me a room, I mean us, Joon and I.
“Boss would you like me to drive for you?”
I heard Greg and I thanked him for the offer.
“I will be picking Joon up. I got this.” I said.
“Trusselle be good okay? I mean don’t make them feel scared.”
I groaned after hearing my dad.
“I’ll try. Anyway Joon is there, I will be in a good mood.”
Few seconds had passed before I realized what I have just said, making our house on fire. I meant silence!
“I’ll just ring you guys if I need anything. Got to go, we’ll be late!” were all I said and walked out.
Really yes, Joon was making me crazy!
—
“Oh this little Korean, what’s taking him so long?”
I said while leaning my back against my car. It made me feel sick seeing people passing by, they were staring at me like I was a food ready to be eaten.
I dropped him off here earlier in the morning, he told me he needed to pack some things.
I just brought 1 thick comforter. I knew there’s a lot of that at the resort we’ll be staying at but not comfortable using those.
I dashed when I saw him out of his door with a lot of stuff. I took 2 bags from his hand.
“What’s with this? 3 bags. 1 container?” I asked curiously.
I can’t help but to smile after seeing him smiling in shyness. Yes I learned when he’s shy!
“The two bags are for us. I mean I packed some food. My mom used to do this whenever we hang out together.” he explained.
And he was like my mom too. So thoughtful!
“It’s been a long time since I got a chance to go somewhere aside from work and this place.” he added.
“Thanks for including me.” I smiled referring to the food he made.
“I brought 1 comforter. The one we are using in my room.” I laughed with the fact that it’s the only thing I brought.
“Really? That’s cool though. I feel comfortable with that.” he said nodding.
See?! Not just me, we’re having the same feeling!
But I wondered where he felt comfortable. With the comforter or with me? Any idea?
Anyway let me share a secret, he hugged me two times already. Last night he pulled me again closer to his body and hugged me tightly, he didn’t know I was not sleeping yet.
“Why are you chuckling?” I heard him asking and it made me shut my mouth.
“Nothing, just excited.” I sang a reply.

– Joon –
“Oh hi Joon?”
“Yeah our bartender! How have you been?”
“How’s your health? Feeling good now?”
“We missed you!”
Were all my colleagues’ questions as I got off the car.
“I’m okay now. Thanks guys.” I smiled. “I m-miss you all.” I admitted, I even received a hug from Cindy.
“We actually thought you’re not coming since you’re not around when we took the bus.” John said giving me a hug after Cindy.
I missed them so much. This family was great. Coffee Bazaar store family was real.
They all went silent when they saw who just got out of the car. I did my best not to make them feel awkward or scared with Trusselle’s presence.
I knew they’re confused why I was with him. I looked at Trusselle and I can see that he’s not interested in greeting them or at least giving them a smile.
“B-Boss will join us.” I announced quietly.
Cindy greeted him and she at least got a nod. They all greeted him. So awkward.
“See you around guys.” I said and bent my body over trying to assure them everything was fine.
I rushed to Trusselle’s place and pulled him out of their sight.
“You’re making them scared.” I told him the moment we reached the room.
“I’m sorry. It’s just that.. I mean I’m not interested sorry.” he replied and I felt guilty hearing his tone of voice.
We entered the room and I was amazed! It’s so big and very nice!
I waited for the room attendants to finish bringing our things inside and once they’re done I closed the door.
“Don’t be sorry. I just d-don’t want them to think negative about you.” I told him, I hope he’s okay.
“Don’t mind them.” he said and took his shoes off. He really got the bad boss look.
“Let me go out for a moment. I’ll just let our senior manager know that I can go back to work after this outing.” I informed and went to my bags to fix the food containers I packed.
I purposely made this for both of us. I missed doing this. I missed my mom.
“Are you done?” I heard Trusselle, he approached me at the table, I nodded a yes.
“Okay. You don’t need to let the manager know that, I’ll ask Sandra to do it.” he said and I flinched a little when he grabbed my forearm.
“Can we sleep? I feel so tired driving for an hour. Join me, please?” his voice was so sleepy.
Who was I to refuse him?
No this was not awkward.
He pulled me to the bed after I nodded. I wasn’t feeling sleepy but I prefered to just stay with him.
“I’m sorry for not letting you go out and enjoy with your co-workers.” he said, we were both lying on the bed now.
We placed ourselves under his thick comforter, it was just like we were in his bed.
“This is how selfish I am.” he mumbled and he closed his eyes.
He’s facing me, I can feel his warm right hand on my left.
He always did this everytime we’re on the bed sideways, facing each other.
He looked tired, sorry for making him drive all the way here.
I treasured the moment, watching him sleep was something I would never want to miss right now.
..
I was awakened by a very warm feeling touching my body. I opened my eyes and it was Trusselle who’s trying to snuggle himself in my arms and body.
I tried to think what was happening until I got to touch his shoulder. He was so hot! I can say his body was on a very high temperature. He’s on fever!
“T-Trusselle? You’re sick. C-can you hear me?” I asked placcing my hand on his forehead. He’s really hot!
I felt so in a hurry, not having an idea what to do!
Okay Joon this was not the right moment to panic.
“H-hospital. L-let me take you to the hospital.” I offered, still thinking what to do.
I didn’t know what I was saying.
“N-no. I already took medicine. I’ll be fine. J-just let me stay still like this. I need warmth, I want to feel warm. I’m feeling so cold.”
He pleaded and I realized how close we were to each other. He’s hugging me so tight and we’re under comforter.
I think I should trust him, that he’ll be fine after taking a medicine.
I can feel he’s feeling so cold that’s why I tried my best to cover my arms around him. I feel his breath under my neck.
Never thought this will happen, I felt very comfortable though, as if I wanted to stay like this forever. These were all first time to me, this warm feeling from his body, this feeling coming from his skin, everything was so perfect.
I felt like my body was looking for this, like myself needed this for so long.
“But..” can’t help but to worry.
He’s trying to snuggle closer.
“I’m sorry Trusselle, I think I need to do this.” I was not sure with my idea but I hoped this would work.
Moving away from him, I hurried and took off my shirt and took a deep breath before deciding to take his as well.
We’re now both shirtless and I knew this would somehow help him.
I moved closer and the moment our bodies touched each other I started to feel this electricity running down my spine.
God it felt good.
“Hmm..” was all I heard from him giving me the idea that he’s feeling so comfortable now.

– Trusselle –
My head hurt a little, feeling dizzy as I gained consciousness back from sleeping.
“Are you feeling okay now?”
I heard Joon’s voice which made me open my eyes.
I saw him holding my left hand and rubbing it with a towel which was wet.
“O-oh? T-thank you.” I said trying to hide how shy I was.
I was supposed to be the big brother here but I felt like a little brother now being taken care by his big brother.
“You don’t want me to take you to the hospital so I have thought of doing this to make you feel better.” he smiled.
I liked the way how we were right now. I knew he’s really comfortable around me since we got to be close to each other.
I was happy that he’s concerned.
“I feel better now. T-thank you.” I replied honestly.
My body felt okay now.
I closed my eyes, feeling his touches. It gave me this feeling that can describe everything about pleasure.
I tried my best not to think of it, but I couldn’t help to feel deep pleasure.
I opened my eyes again and he’s now focused rubbing the towel on my forearm.
The ambiance seemed to be in favor of what I was feeling right now. It was dim, we were under dark sight but enough for us to clearly see each other.
The glass window covered by dark curtain gave enough light for me to see Joon’s innocence.
I sat up when Joon stopped from what he was doing. I guessed he’s going to change the water.
He was about to stand up when I stopped him by grabbing his right forearm.
“Joon..” was all I said, I stared at him.
Our eyes met and I can feel the urge of doing what was inside my mind at the moment.
I tried my best to put myself at ease but it was like my body had its own will that it started moving closer to him, making my face a little closer to his.
I can feel he was shaking but he was just staring at me. I felt like my heart will explode at any moment, it was beating so hard.
Until I closed my eyes and felt my lips against his. I tried to stop but everything was too late now.
Trusselle what were you doing?!
I can’t explain the feeling, especially the moment I felt my lower lip was being sucked gently and it’s making me feel very weak.
He’s making me weak!
And we were like this, staying still. We just had our lips locked.
I was in deep pleasure, feeling his lips against mine. I knew it. His thin lips were so perfect. He’s really making me weak.
His hand was in my right hand now, that made me feel warm as he grabbed it a little harder.
One second, three seconds, few seconds, a minute and our lips were still locked with my eyes closed.
I was enjoying the pleasure that led me to moving. I started to move a little slower targeting his upper lip.
Until I heard noise coming from the outside, giving me a clear thought of rain. I was not having a wrong guess, I can say it’s raining and it’s surely hard that we can hear it from here.
The glass window covered by a dark curtain proved it, it let me hear the impact from the outside.
I tried to ignore the rain and pulled Joon closer, sucking his upper lip to the fullest.
