"Jealousy / Cute
Only a few days had passed since that beautiful morning on Leo's balcony, when the four of them had shared a light, fun breakfast together, joking and laughing like there was no care in the world.
Over these days, Nela had thrown herself completely into her training, almost every day, as the competition drew closer.
She was focused, determined—she had to be the winner, no matter what.
Zoi went to school every day and then to her courses, and almost always, Nela went with her everywhere.
On the few days Nela couldn't go, Han would take care of it.
Whenever the two of them were together, no one could stop their craziness: once they stopped in the middle of the street to make a viral TikTok video, "another time, Zoi made Han wear matching outfits with her for a different video."
Han, as usual, came up with endless excuses to skip "deep style."
One time, he claimed he was really sick, so much that Smart went to take care of him, even though he didn't really need it.
Later, he said his leg hurt and he couldn't walk. Jin understood right away but let him be for the moment.
He'd have plenty of time later to deal with Han's little whims.
Leo and Ren had mostly spent the past few days at home, since Ren had just recovered from the flu, and Leo, worried as always, had even called the doctor over to check on him.
Today, Ren was feeling better and wanted to go to the gym, but Leo stopped him immediately, no discussion.
Bored of staying at home, he scrolled through his phone and saw a story from Smart on Instagram. He called Leo right away.
"Let's go there too," he said, giving a sly wink, trying to mess with Leo's mind and get him out of the house.
✧ — ✧ — ✧
Smart and Jin were at a really beautiful spot right in the heart of the city.
It was a tall, elegant building, all glass, known as Viewpoint.
What really made it special were the top two floors.
These floors weren't open to just anyone—you could only get in with a private reservation.
It was one of the most popular spots for famous businessmen, artists, and influential people in the city.
The second-to-top floor was equipped with a wellness & training area—private gym, pool, sauna, boxing arena, and a relaxation room.
The top floor offered a luxurious space with a bar, private restaurant, and a rooftop with views of the entire city.
Right on that rooftop, Smart and Jin were enjoying some beautiful moments after a long, tiring day at work.
Smart had spent the day changing outfits and taking photos for hours.
Jin had been following almost the whole process, stepping away from his office now and then to go to the studio and watch Smart.
After work, Smart had begged Jin to take him home since he was completely exhausted.
But Jin wanted to bring him to this beautiful spot so he could enjoy himself and forget some of the fatigue.
Smart was amazed by the place and immediately took some photos, which he quickly shared on his Instagram story.
✧ — ✧ — ✧
Leo saw the photo, smiled, and gently ran his fingers through his hair.
"Baby, do you like this place?"
"Hmm, yes! It's one of the most talked-about and famous spots in the country.
How could I not like it?" Ren replied immediately.
"Have you ever been there?" Leo asked.
"Nope, never. Let's go now," he got up—and just then, a sudden cough hit him.
"Damn… this cough at the worst possible time.
It's nothing, just a little cough. But yeah… let's go."
Leo grabbed him by the arm and gently guided him toward the bedroom.
"You're going to stay in this room until you're fully healed. 100%.
Only then will I let you leave.
Ren started looking at him with a soft gaze, those puppy-like eyes, and just as he began to speak, his words were cut off immediately.
"Shhh… don't even think about acting cute and clingy. This time, your little tricks won't work.
Do you think I haven't noticed?"
At that moment, Ren's expression shifted back to his usual self, his deep gaze returning.
Leo smiled when he noticed how his eyes changed instantly, like flipping a switch.
He truly adored Ren's seductive, sexy, provocative look… but that didn't mean he didn't love his sweet gaze too.
"Baby, I promise I'll take you to that place so often that you'll get tired of it."
Now lie down," Leo said, heading to the kitchen to make some chamomile tea.
**********
Two days later, Ren was still at home.
He was feeling a bit better, but the cough hadn't completely gone away.
Staying at home was getting on his nerves and making him a little more irritable.
During all these days, Leo had been working from home, just to take care of Ren.
✧ — ✧ — ✧
Meanwhile, Smart was at the studio, getting ready for the photoshoot.
Behind him, Mei was always there—Jin had specifically asked her to take care of Smart.
Mei always made Smart feel really comfortable, and together they had built a sweet little friendship.
Smart was dressed a bit differently today, but he looked incredibly sexy.
He was wearing a pair of loose black cropped sweatpants and a white sporty short-sleeve top, slightly loose over his body.
Long socks and white sneakers gave him a sporty, relaxed vibe, while his backpack made him look even more casual.
He was sitting in front of the mirror, waiting for the makeup artist to start.
Through the mirror, he could also see Nova, who didn't take her eyes off him for a single moment.
Smart pulled out his phone, puckered his lips 😚, and sent it to Jin right away..
.
He waited for a reply, but none came.
In his hand, he held a cappuccino, sipping it slowly, his eyes almost glued to the phone.
Not much time had passed, and through the mirror, he could see Jin standing behind him.
"Waiting for an important message?" Jin asked, a small smile playing on his lips.
Smart didn't turn his head, only watching Jin through the mirror, locking eyes with him.
"Yes! And if I don't get a message within 30 seconds… hmm, then that person will have to face my anger!"
Jin immediately pulled out his phone and started typing.
Right away, his message popped up on Smart's screen:
✉️So cute… I'm dying to kiss those lips
Smart read it instantly and began typing back:
✉️ Bubu… don't tease me right now !!
Jin moved a little closer to Smart when, suddenly, Nova stepped in front of him.
At that moment, Smart just kept his calm, holding his cappuccino and sipping it slowly.
He watched how Nova came up with every excuse to stay longer with Jin.
Through the mirror, he observed every little moment carefully, while the makeup artist worked on his makeup.
Then he took out his phone and sent a text.
Bubu – watch your behavior, or you'll make me lose it!
Better not see this side of me.
Jin read it, and the idea that Smart was feeling jealous amused him.
In a way, he just wanted to make him a little more jealous,
to see how Smart would lose it.
He slipped his phone into his pocket without replying, listening instead to Nova and her chatter.
Hmm… you think I don't know what you're up to, Smart muttered to himself.
What? – the makeup artist asked.
Ah, nothing… keep going. The makeup looks really good, Smart said, a little embarrassed.
Smart got up as it was his turn for the photoshoot.
He shot Jin an ironic glance, as if to say, "Let's see who gets jealous first."
You're about to lose it now, he thought,walking slowly and gracefully,
like a true professional model.
The photographer explained a couple of ideas for shots, and Smart started striking poses.
The way he transformed was expected, but what Jin didn't expect was someone else joining him for the photos.
Another model was now right beside him, moving closer, making contact, and locking eyes.
Jin was practically burning up inside; a wave of jealousy erupted, and only something kept him from storming over and dragging him away.
He realized Smart was moving with full awareness, doing everything just to make him watch—and to push him to the edge of his patience.
Yet still, he couldn't handle it.
Smart's eyes kept sliding toward him, just to savor Jin's reaction.
"Wow, I think Smart is flirting… actually, no, he's really doing it!
And honestly, he looks so damn charming and teasing," Nova said, clearly trying to provoke Jin on purpose.
Jin clenched his fists—the volcano inside him was about to erupt.
But luckily, the photoshoot ended right at that moment.
Smart walked past them with a small, teasing smile, then headed toward the changing room!
This time, he deliberately picked a room at the far end of the studio.
At that moment, it was Nova's turn for the photos, and Jin immediately broke away, heading straight for the changing room.
As soon as he opened the door, Jin grabbed Smart with force and pressed him against the wall.
Then he placed a hand on his jaw, pushing hard.
"What were those poses?
Do you really want me to go wild with you?"
"Fuck… would you even want it?"
Smart gave a small, quick smile.
"Hmm, Bubu—why didn't you like them?
Everyone loved those poses except you. Why?"
Jin was practically on fire, his gaze burning him up as he squeezed Smart's jaw even tighter.
"Smart… don't make me cross the line."
"Ooo—you have the right to get jealous, to act crazy, to cross the line?
And me? What about me? Don't I have the right to be jealous? Don't I have the right to cross these limits?"
Smart's voice was calm, almost too calm—but it hit Jin like a punch right in the ear.
Jin looked him in the eyes and immediately changed his expression when he sensed that Smart really felt upset for not getting a reply.
"You didn't reply on purpose, right?" he pressed.
Jin stayed silent, his breathing a bit uneven, tense.
He didn't want Smart to feel this way, to lose control and get aggressive.
"Okay, no need to answer—I got it.
Now can you leave the room?
Go on, they're waiting for you out there," Smart said, referring to Nova.
He gently pushed Jin out of the room and immediately closed the door.
"Smart—open the door now!" Jin shouted, knocking urgently.
"No one's waiting for me… except you.
I want only you to wait for me. No one else!"
Smart kept getting changed, leaving Jin outside the door.
Those last words had quickly warmed his heart, but he still didn't want to make it easy for Jin.
"Let's talk later, okay?" he said softly.
His calm, gentle voice sounded so fierce to Jin.
"Open the door, I want to talk now," Jin called in a low voice.
Smart didn't answer.
At that moment, Nova walked straight toward Jin, having noticed that he had run after Smart.
"Jin, what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice loud enough for Smart to hear.
She knew very well that Smart was just behind that room.
Smart normally heard her and smirked with irony.
"Stubborn little thing… won't give up," he murmured softly.
Smart was more annoyed by Jin's behavior than by the fact that Nova had followed him.
He never saw her as a threat; he just didn't want anyone near Jin.
He wanted him all to himself.
Jin took a deep breath and turned to her.
"Do I need to explain what I do in my company?"
Nova immediately lowered her eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed.
It was the first time Jin had spoken to her in that tone.
"This is the last time you call me, *Jin*.
For you and everyone else, I'm Mr. Jin.
You'll talk to me only when it's about work, and you'll come to the office for that, got it?
And make sure to let me know before you come—I trust you understand."
The authority in his voice was calm but impossible to ignore.
Smart smiled quietly in the room, feeling so proud of his boyfriend.
He really enjoyed hearing how Jin had shown that little troublemaker her place.
Then the other models arrived in the dressing rooms, and Jin had to leave.
He went to the office but couldn't find any peace, pacing back and forth across the room.
He sent Smart a few messages, telling him he needed to talk and that Smart should come to his office, but he didn't get a single reply.
He got so frustrated that he called a few times, only to be met with silence.
"Damn, where are you?" he muttered, slamming the phone down on the table.
Smart was doing everything on purpose, just to push him a little—not because he was genuinely upset.
Especially when he heard how he had shown Nova her place—right then, all his frustration and anger melted away.
Jin took a sip of his drink when suddenly the door opened and Smart appeared in front of him.
"I guess there's no need to knock," he said.
Jin looked up and took a deep breath.
"How many times have I told you? When the phone rings, you answer it immediately!"
"Hmm… not this time," Smart replied right away, stepping closer and taking the drink from his hand.
"This is too much for your health. You should slow down."
Jin looked him in the eyes and grabbed him by the waist, pulling him in tight.
"My babe… when I tell you to open that damn door, you obey. Got it? Or do I need to teach you every single time?" he whispered in his ear.
"Hmm… then I guess you have time to teach me how to obey—
It's just the beginning, and I still have so much to learn from you, right?" Smart said, letting those words slip just to tease Jin, to make him admire him even more.
"But if you ever act like this again, like today, and make me feel bad… I swear, your lessons will be erased from my memory," his voice carried a hint of threat.
Jin hugged him immediately, thinking how cute Smart looked in that moment, even while trying to act threatening.
"My little babe" he murmured, taking Smart's hand and leading him into his private studio just beyond that wall.
He sat down on the sofa, then pulled Smart close, laying him across the couch and resting Smart's head on his lap.
"I want to enjoy our ten minutes," he said, looking into Smart's eyes.
Smart just smiled, blinking slowly as if to say, *okay*.
When the ten minutes were up, Jin leaned in and kissed Smart on the lips, gently running his fingers through his hair.
Smart was staring off, looking a bit lost in thought, not really in the mood.
"Something bothering you?" Jin asked immediately.
"Hmm, nope… just not feeling very in the mood. Maybe I'm tired these past few days… or maybe I'm just bored," he whispered.
Jin paused for a moment, then said,
"Babe, get up. Come on, we're going somewhere."
"Where?" Smart asked, surprised.
"I'll show you when we get there, but I promise, you'll really like it," Jin replied.
Smart got up immediately, and his eyes caught a beautiful cap on the shelf. He grabbed it and put it on his head just to try it.
Jin looked at him, and it suited him perfectly, making his face look even cuter.
"Don't take it off—keep it on," Jin said right away, grabbing the car keys.
Smart kissed him on the cheek, thanked him, and then stepped outside the building to wait for Jin.
As Jin started the car, his phone rang, and he opened it immediately when he saw Leo's name.
📞"Hey, how are you? How's Ren?"
📞"Somewhat better," Leo's voice replied.
📞"What are you guys up to?"
📞"I called to ask for your advice. I don't know what to do—Ren has been at home for almost a week and is starting to get a little aggressive. But I'm afraid to take him out since he just recovered from a really bad flu."
Jin paused for a moment, then spoke again.
📞"Leo, I'm taking Smart to my place in the suburbs.
Why don't you come with Ren? It'll be good for him to change the environment a bit."
📞"Hmmm… you really think that's a good idea? What if he gets sick again?"
Jin laughed out loud.
📞"You scaredy-cat in love. Take Ren and come on! We'll wait for you there."
That was it—he hung up the phone.
The house was surrounded by trees, and it seemed like a good move for Ren's health too. Fresh air, greenery, nature—it could really do him some good.
Smart was waiting outside, and as soon as he saw Jin's car, he walked straight over to him.
"Come on, babe," Jin called, looking at him with so much love.
"That cap suits you so well. I want you to keep it on."
Smart clicked his seatbelt and then gently took Jin's hand.
"Okay, if you like it," he said, resting his head on Jin's shoulder.
Smart had been running on empty these past days.
Back-to-back work at Light, endless photoshoots… by the time he was done, he felt completely wiped out.
The moment he leaned against Jin, sleep just took over.
Jin pressed a soft kiss to his head and whispered,
"Relax… just sleep, my babe…"
✧ — ✧ — ✧
After hanging up, Leo went straight to the room where Ren was lying on his phone, playing a game.
Leo spotted what he was doing and snatched the phone from his hand.
"I want every game on this phone deleted. Don't make me do it myself."
Ren looked him in the eyes, smirking.
"Enjoyed giving orders this week, huh?"
"Remember this week. It's not going to happen again."
"Alright, get up. Go get ready — we're going somewhere."
"Where? The viewpoint?" Ren asked immediately.
"Nope. Somewhere else. I'll tell you on the way.
Now get up, get dressed, and wear something warm… I don't want you getting sick again."
Ren got up immediately and got dressed as if he was doing it on purpose to annoy Leo.
Leo looked at him from head to toe and immediately took off the sleeveless tank top he was wearing.
"Hey, baby, careful… you're turning me on like this," Ren teased.
"You can barely stand on your feet, let alone do anything else," Leo said, mocking him lightly.
"Do you want to see if I've got the strength?" Ren said, suddenly grabbing Leo tightly by the waist and kissing him on the lips before pushing him onto the bed and climbing on top of him.
"Enough with the games," Leo said, gently pushing him away before things went further than just a kiss.
He got up and walked over to the wardrobe, grabbed a hoodie, and put it on Ren himself.
"I told you to dress warm, right?"
Ren just watched him with pure affection, not saying a single word.
Then Leo grabbed a jacket and put it on him as well.
Ren felt a bit weighed down by the jacket but still stayed silent.
But when Leo took a thick scarf and wrapped it around his neck, he couldn't hold back anymore and shouted loudly,
"Baby… what are you doing?"
Leo looked him in the eyes and raised an eyebrow.
"So you've got the strength… and the voice to shout too, huh? What am I doing? Can't you see? I'm just taking care of you, my little one, making sure you don't get sick!" He gave one of Ren's cheeks a gentle tug with his fingers, smirking.
"Where are we going? To Antarctica or the North Pole? Don't you think this is too much? I feel like I'm going to suffocate! Are you trying to kill me? I never wear scarves!" Ren complained, but nobody was listening.
Leo grabbed the keys, some medicine for safety, and they headed toward the car, holding hands like a married couple.
Ren insisted on driving, but he immediately got a refusal from Leo, with no room for discussion.
They both got into the car, enjoying the quiet moments of the road together.
"Baby," Ren called softly.
"Tell me," Leo replied without turning his head, focused on the road.
"You know you're going to be punished for your behavior these days, right?" Ren gave a mischievous smile, as if planning something.
Leo turned his head slightly to look him in the eyes.
"Then, if you can… do it."
And he stepped on the gas, speeding away with controlled precision.
For a few moments, neither of them spoke, enjoying the beautiful view of the road.
The soft sunlight, occasionally hidden behind clouds, gently shone through the car windows, making their smiles even brighter.
