Third person point of view
Junkyu went down and saw Haruto in a Tuxedo. He thought Haruto looked really cool in it. Haruto stood up when he saw Junkyu and checked him out. " Should we just not go ? " He said shocking Junkyu. Sara has left early and they were going to go now. " Why ? " " You are too good looking right now that I want to hide you from others ".
Junkyu rolled his eyes. " Were you always this cheesy ? " " Only for you ". Junkyu laughed. " Let's go. We will be late ". Junkyu walked out with Haruto following him. Haruto checked Junkyu out from the back. He smirked and looked away. They both got in the car and went to the hotel. They got down the car and walked to the hall where the party is being hosted.
Junkyu looked a little nervous. Haruto put his hand around Junkyu's waist. " You are always so confident, what happened now ? " Haruto asked pulling Junkyu closer. " It wouldn't matter before, but now if something happens your reputation will be at stake ". Junkyu said looking sincere. Haruto chuckled.
" I don't care about what you do. Even if you get drunk and dance on the table, I will still not say anything ". Junkyu turned to Haruto. " Thank you ". Haruto smiled looking ahead. " But I might record a video of it and show it to you later ". Haruto turned to Junkyu who gave him a blank face. He chuckled and they walked in together.
Junkyu put on his best smile as they entered. They first went to find Sara. " Mom ". Haruto called. " Oh. You are here ". She looked at both of them. " You both look really good ". " Thank you mom ". Junkyu replied. " Those ear rings are the ones I got right ? " Junkyu nodded. " I finally got to wear them ".
" They suit you really well ". " Thank you mom, for the gift and compliment too ". Sara smiled. She turned to the lady beside them and introduced them to each other. " This is Lee Hye Jin. My friend ". They both bowed and greeted her. She saw the way they stood and Haruto's hand around Junkyu. " You look good together ".
Junkyu blushed a little. " Thank you ". Haruto replied. " I will greet the others and come ". He told to Sara and took Junkyu with him. He introduced him to his friends and other people he knew. Junkyu smiled and greeted Haruto's friends; So Jung Hwan and Kim Doyoung. " Finally. He went as far changing his profile to a photo with you and we got to meet you now ".
Jung Hwan said and all of them laughed. " I know right. It is a trending topic among us ". Doyoung added. " Enough. You guys talk too much ". Haruto said and they all laughed again. " Are you shy ? " Jung Hwan asked. " Who is ? " Haruto was thick skinned after all. Junkyu spent some time talking to them.
They sat down at a table. A cute looking guy came up to them. " Hello Mashiho. Been a while ". Haruto greeted. Mashiho smiled and sat down. " Hello. Oh yeah, quite a while actually ". " This is Kim Junkyu ". " I know him, how can I not ? " Mashiho said as a matter of fact. Haruto shook his head with a smile. " Hello ". Junkyu greeted.
" Hello. I am Takata Mashiho. Haruto's friend ". Junkyu smiled. " Nice to meet you ". " Nice to meet you too. You know you are really famous in our friend's gang ". Junkyu pointed at himself. " Me ? Why is that ? And why is everyone saying that ? " " You are this guy's lover after all. Some of us already know you as an actor and now because of this all of us know you ".
" Really ? Thank you so much ". Mashiho smiled. " You are even better in person. I watched all your movies and dramas. You are really good ". Junkyu chuckled. " Thanks a lot ". Haruto tapped Junkyu's shoulder. " I have to go greet others. You can sit here ". Junkyu nodded. Haruto got up from his seat and walked to greet others.
Junkyu continued to chat with Mashiho. The both of them got along really well and were having fun talking about various things. Someone called for Mashiho, so he excused himself. Junkyu was left by himself. He sipped the red wine in his hand. " Hello ". Junkyu looked up to see a guy who sat down. He didn't know who it was.
" Hello ". Junkyu greeted even if he didn't know him. He didn't want to come off as rude. Haruto saw him and stood with his back facing to the table in hearing range. " You are Kim Junkyu right ? " Junkyu nodded. " Nice to meet you. I am Seo Minjun ". " Nice to meet you too ". Junkyu smiled.
" You are an actor ? " Junkyu was shocked at the kind of tone he used but still nodded. " Tsk. What kind of a job is even that ? Always smiling, showing a fake facade all the time ". Junkyu frowned. " Do you have a problem with me ? " Haruto wanted to go to Junkyu, but stopped when he heard Junkyu's voice.
" What would I have to do with someone like you ? " Minjun scoffed. Junkyu nodded. " Right ? You don't. Then how can you speak like you please ? " Minjun's gaze turned cold. Junkyu wasn't scared and stared back holding his gaze.
" My job is nothing less than any of you. For that matter, I don't sit in an AC room all the time. I do lot more than that. And no one puts on a fake facade, we just tend to make sure people don't feel down because of us. Because our fans will feel bad if we don't smile sometimes. It is just the way we show love. I don't know about you, but if I go out there will be at least one person who recognizes me and will help me if I am in need. They also help others out of kindness as they learn from us ".
Junkyu took a breath. " More than anything, you have never been in my shoes. So I don't think you have any right to say anything about me or any of us from my field of work. Not just that, you have no right say anything about anyone for that matter. I am sorry if I came off as rude, but it is the truth ". Junkyu finished and sipped his wine. Minjun ground his teeth.
He had nothing to say but decided to just wanted to ridicule him but Haruto came back. " Hello Seo Minjun ". Minjun looked at Haruto and shut up. " Please don't mind, I am taking away my lover ". He smiled and pulled Junkyu up. He let his hand rest on the small of Junkyu's back as he took him away. Minjun could only grieve in anger and walk away from the table.

Ohhhoooo~~~ Junkyu was so cool. And Haruto is so supportive. He didn't say anything but he actually didn't stop Junkyu from speaking up. That shows it.
Uhhh.. That felt like a kind of awkward ending for a chapter. But I couldn't help it. My BR said it isn't so maybe it isn't.
And spoiler alert !! Next week...... ahem look forward to it. I see a lot of you are eager for it. I will talk to my BR and see if we will be able to give the chapters a little early than we usually do. Pray for us to be free to work on it. Hahaha.
