Being the son of a businessman isn't easy, and Ji Nan knows that to well. So when he was forced to move he made sure to not let anyone know about his fathers income. He even made sure not to let anyone get to know him, but when he is tasked with tut...

When I woke up the next morning I felt rather warm. Last night I remember it being cool, so this confused me. I moved slightly and froze when a deep groan sounded close to my ears. What the fuck was that!
I fluttered open my eyes to see a white shirt. I slowly looked up to see the chin of Ba Wei. Why is he on the floor with me? Why are his arms around me? I went to sleep on the futon, and he went to sleep on the bed. How did we end up like this?
As I panicked on the inside my face had already turned beat red because of something else. He had me slightly pressed against him and my legs just so happened to be placed in between his. What was hard against my leg could make even the toughest man or woman blush.
I didn't know what to do. I could move and try to get out of his grip, but he would definitely wake up. I don't know if he is a light sleeper, and the thought of him waking up to see my blushing face was not something I wanted to come into existence.
I sighed and laid there without moving. I stared at what I know now to be his chest. The more I stared at that white shirt the more curious I got. It wasn't because I'm a horny pervert, but more of I never get to touch him. Even last night when he helped me, I didn't get to help him even though I wanted to. Just a bit.
I moved my body backward very carefully I reached out and let my hand touch his chest. It was firm, and you could definitely tell that he worked on his body. I let my hand wander until they reached his pec. From seeing them I would've thought they were hard and firm, but they weren't. They were firm yet soft. I wanted to squeeze it, but I knew that would be weird.
After I had my fill of touching him I pulled my hand back and looked up at him. He seemed to be still asleep. Maybe I can just slip out of his grip if I'm careful enough. I turned onto my back and was getting ready to move when I felt Ba Wei move. I froze and slowly I looked up in his direction. Surely enough those dark eyes stared back at me. So he is a light sleeper.
"Were you trying to move," his voice was hoarse as he asked this question? It sent shivers down my spine.
"Uh...yeah. I didn't want to wake you so I was trying to get up carefully." Ba Wei didn't say anything and just stared at me. I shifted my eyes and froze.
Did he feel when I was touching him? When that thought crossed my mind my face turned a shade of red it never had before. If he did feel me touching him he would've said something about it right?
"You could've gotten up. Even if I would've woken up, I wouldn't have moved."
"You're that tired?"
"Not tired just wouldn't have got up."
I looked back up at him to see that he had closed his eyes. I couldn't help but let a smile spread across my face. How can you be so handsome yet so childish? I ran a hand though my hair and I raised an eyebrow. Wait a minute.
"Why did you get down on the floor with me? You had the bed all to yourself?"
Ba Wei's opened and went straight to mine, "you were talking in your sleep. Nothing crazy, but you wouldn't be quite. You stopped after I got down here with you."
"I'm very sorry," I said quickly. The embarrassment that was washed over my body by that sentence was huge.
Why the hell was I talking in my sleep and what was I talking about? I knew it had to be something embarrassing. There's no way it couldn't have been if Ba Wei had to get down here with me.
"It's fine. You didn't put up much of a fuss after I got down here." I watched as he yawned and sat up. He ran a hand through his hair and looked down at me. "Can't say I got too good of sleep though. Definitely not going to school today."
When I heard that word leave his mouth my eyes widened. It was a school day! More importantly it was a school day that I was currently missing.
"What time is it," I said as I got up and out of the futon?
Ba Wei watched me with a confused expression but then something seemed to click because that confused expression turned to annoyed.
"Too late to go to class, so relax a bit brainiac."
"You didn't even check anything."
"I don't have to. We went to bed around 3 a.m., we would definitely sleep later than the schedule school start time."
As much I didn't want to admit it he was right, but I just wanted to make sure. I walked out of the room to the couch to get my phone. When I picked it up it vibrated and lit up. I looked down at the message and my blood ran cold.
Dad: Ji Nan can you act your age for once Dad: come home so we can actually talk about this. Dad: missing school is not acceptable whether we're on bad terms on not. Come home now or else.
What did he mean by that? It was obviously a threat, but what was he planning to do. Move me again? Disown me a second time just to tell me he loves me a month later? The threat was the definition of empty. I know if I went home he would just lock me in that apartment anyway. Just like he did before; just like he does every time I do something he doesn't like.I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Why is my life so complicated?
I sat my phone down and just stood there staring at nothing. I don't know what exactly I was feeling at the moment but the panic I was feeling before was gone. In fact I didn't feel anything. It was a more numb feeling than anything else. It made me feel a way that I hadn't since I moved. I'm not the same person as before.
After standing there for a brief second I heard footsteps behind me. They were heavy, and even though I knew who they belonged to my body still stiffened.
"Hey, you alright," he asked?
His voice was still hoarse and it sent shivers up my spine. I wanted to look at him, but I knew I shouldn't. If I looked at him I would do the same thing I did last night. Use him to fill a void that ultimately wouldn't be filled anyway.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just zoned out for a second."
"This early already," he chuckled?
"Yeah," I turned around and looked at him, "just a lot in my mind I guess."
When our eyes met I could see that he wanted to asked what but to my surpass he didn't. When he spoke it was about something completely different.
"How about breakfast to clear your mind then?"
"Um sure..."
