Chapter 85: That’s because you keep bullying me Hyung!

Haeun munched happily on his fried chicken, his cheeks full as he looked up at Yeongsoo with a mischievous grin. "See, this is the real reward after a night like this," he declared, pointing to the crispy drumstick in his hand. "Not the press interviews or the investor handshakes—just greasy food and peace."

Yeongsoo chuckled, amused at how easily pleased Haeun was. "And here I thought launching a game would be the highlight of your evening."

Haeun shrugged, unfazed. "Oh, that was fun, too. But this..." He held up his drumstick triumphantly. "This is everything!."

Shaking his head, Yeongsoo reached over to steal a piece from Haeun’s box, only to have his hand smacked away playfully. "Excuse me," Haeun said, mock-glaring at him. "Who said you could just take my food?"

"Oh, is that how it is?" Yeongsoo raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying the banter. "I ordered this for you, and now I’m not allowed a taste?"

Haeun held the box protectively to his chest, though his smile gave away his bluff. "Fine. But only one piece. It wouldn’t be enough for me and the baby" he said, offering Yeongsoo a single drumstick with an exaggerated sigh, as if parting with a precious gem.

They both laughed as they shared the food, each bite accompanied by lighthearted quips and teasing. It was moments like these—filled with simplicity and laughter—that made the whirlwind of their lives feel more grounded and real.

Finally, as they finished the last bites, Haeun leaned back, looking thoroughly content. He glanced over at Yeongsoo, his eyes softening.

"Thank you. To be honest I’ve been on tenterhooks since this morning but now I can really relax.."

Yeongsoo smiled he was glad Haeun could get to unwind but it wasn’t the same for him.

He had to think of a way to take care of Bai Youran quietly and then find out about Suho’s background.

He sighed inwardly, this was going to be a long week.

"Let’s go to bed. Take a shower and wear some comfortable clothes.."

Haeun nodded and stood up as Yeongsoo picked up the empty box and tossed it in the trash before heading upstairs with Haeun.

Once they made it upstairs, Haeun dragged his feet to the bathroom, visibly worn out but cheerful after their quiet night in. Yeongsoo followed, watching him with a fond smile as Haeun leaned against the bathroom door, clearly waiting for help.

Yeongsoo chuckled, moving closer. "Need an extra hand?"

Haeun grinned, not even attempting to hide his relief. "You offering?"

Without another word, Yeongsoo gently ushered Haeun inside, turning on the shower and adjusting the water temperature. Haeun had been running on adrenaline all day, and Yeongsoo could see the weariness settling in. He helped Haeun peel off his suit jacket, then his shirt, taking his time as he folded each piece and set it aside.

Haeun’s eyes fluttered shut as he stepped under the warm water, sighing with pure bliss as the steam enveloped him. Before long, he felt Yeongsoo’s hands at his shoulders, steady and grounding, as he worked the knots out of Haeun’s muscles, coaxing the tension away.

"I’m never going to another press event without you," Haeun mumbled, voice muffled by the sound of the water. "You make everything feel... easier."

Yeongsoo’s hands paused briefly, his touch gentle. "Then I’ll always be there," he replied softly, squeezing Haeun’s shoulder before stepping back to give him some space.

When they finally finished up and Haeun emerged, refreshed but adorably disheveled, he let out a yawn, wrapping a towel around himself. He stumbled over to the bedroom, where Yeongsoo was already waiting with the blow dryer.

"Sit," Yeongsoo said, patting the edge of the bed. Haeun plopped down obediently, his eyes drooping as he leaned back, a little bundle of exhaustion.

As the blow dryer whirred to life, Haeun jolted up with a squeak, startled by the sudden noise. "Yeong!" he protested, clutching his towel like he was defending himself.

Yeongsoo grinned. "It’s just a blow dryer, Haeun, not a chainsaw."

Haeun pouted, crossing his arms but staying still as Yeongsoo worked through his damp hair. But as the warm air tousled his hair, Haeun couldn’t resist fidgeting, squirming and wriggling under Yeongsoo’s hands.

"Hold still," Yeongsoo chided, trying to keep Haeun’s head steady as he combed through his hair. "You’re like a little kid."

"Am not!" Haeun argued, then promptly broke into giggles as Yeongsoo’s fingers accidentally brushed a ticklish spot near his ear.

"Sure you’re not," Yeongsoo replied with a smirk, flicking the hairdryer over Haeun’s face just to mess with him.

Haeun let out an exaggerated whine, squinting his eyes shut. "Yeong, you’re abusing your power here!"

"Just making sure you’re fully awake," Yeongsoo replied, thoroughly enjoying himself as he playfully ruffled Haeun’s hair with the dryer.

Once he was finished, Haeun’s hair was a soft, fluffy mess, strands sticking out in every direction. Yeongsoo stifled a laugh as Haeun ran a hand through his hair, frowning at his reflection in the mirror.

"Look what you did!" Haeun exclaimed, gesturing at the wild fluff on his head.

Yeongsoo shrugged innocently. "I don’t know, I think it suits you."

"..."

"You’re lucky I’m tired or else you would have received a jab to the jaw by now.."

Yeongsoo chuckled as he kept the blow dryer, drying his own hair quickly with a towel and getting into the bed with Haeun.

"You’re hot, go away!"

"..."

"Hey Alexa decrease room temperature.."

Beep!

Beep!

Room temperature decreased to 15°C.

Haeun shivered as he quickly covered the blanket only for Yeongsoo so pull him close.

"Now I’m not hot and I can stick to you as much as I want.."

"..."

"For a 24 years old man, you sure do behave like a baby tsk!"

"..."

"That’s because you keep bullying me Hyung!"

"..."

Haeun immediately turned to Yeongsoo with a obvious look on his face.

"When have I ever bullied you! In fact it should be you who’s been bullying me. You never stop when I tell you to stop.."

"..!!"

Yeongsoo chuckled placing several kisses on Haeun’s face "That’s because Haeun likes it so much and I can’t bear to see you sad.."
