MONACO. 2020

Monaco, I feel the buzzing of excitement and pressure under my skin but the hot sun hit it different. The weather is so cold and hot at the same time. I don’t know why there is so much people around this small airport but who cares. I went here to find someone not to social and party. Come to see, I can see a huge signs of casino’s and bar even from here. Letting a breath and continue moving to the side where the taxi cab but…

“Why is so traffic even from here?” I asked.

I pulled my phone to see if the hotel is not far to walk, since i’m not that tired to walk and I feel nice that the jetlag did not hit me right now. Thanks to my working styles this is easy. After zooming and search I can finally see that my motel for two weeks is quite 15minutes a way. Thanking my lovely friend Jeonghan, I only bring a big back pack with things i needed. Taking my short journey walking, I see different store and people drinking during a day light. Who can’t stop them, it’s Monaco.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, Jun.” 

I should not trust my friend dealing my trip. This not a cheap motel! This is someone need a huge money to stay with. I stared for a minute to the huge sign above me. MONACA DE HOTEL, Jun really a huge pain in the ass. When I come back I will promise pain to it. Sighing many times I lose count. I don’t need to think anything else. I need to find him soon.

Entering the hotel makes me speechless and gapping a bit. This is embarrassment, shocking my head a bit before walking to the reception. 

“Good Day, I have a reservation under Junhui Wen.” I smile under mask.

“Let me check, please wait.” The women at the front desk wearing a nice and warm green dress. I like that color. She look comfortable and fresh.

“Thank you for waiting. Please fill up this form…” I get the paper and fill it up and continue listening to the women stating the pecks and some rules of the hotel and when finally finished signing it, she hand me the key and look at her a bit confused. The women just smile at me and after a few seconds turn confused too.

“Something wrong?”

“The room payment?” I asked.

“Oh! It’s already paid. No worries. Enjoy staying.” She said.

I just nodded and went to my room ignoring all and smiling softly. My friends really a gold. I will stop my murdering plan to Jun now. I love them so much. Entering the room leave me speechless. The room is enormous. Queen bed, study table a nice view of Monaco and nice hot bathtub and huge coach. I sighed happily and put my things on the coach and pull my phone to message my lovely friends.

“I must say, I want to kill you at first Junnie. But I can’t since you guys already pay for this enchanting hotel. Thank you so much. Wish me luck. See you soon. Love you guys.” Sending to our group chat. 

I knew they will be sleeping still. After unpacking my things, finally change to outside clothes fit to the weather of Monaco. I took a deep breathe before grabbing my small bag with papers and details I need to go to find, him.

Walking to a street in Monaco makes me giggly and nervous at the same time. Seeing people enjoying they day drinking and having fun. I misses my friend, they actually want to come with me but I tell them, I need to this alone like the first time. I finally see a huge building and double check the details. I took deep breathe and knocked the door. I wait for a few minutes before a old lady not age of 50s open the door. The eyes of the old lady’s eyes widen and gasped. Her blue dress look refreshing to my eyes.

“Jiho—-on” a teary voice of her, send shiver to me. They know me. 

“Yes.” I said softly, trying to control my voice since my emotion on wary now. The old lady pull me to mother bear hug and finally let out a sob.

“You here.” Whispering.

After a minutes of us crying, she pull away after giving me a kiss to the cheeks. 

“Come inside.” She pull him inside and I finally see the inside of the house. Its huge outside and compare inside, its more enormous. The French and modern styles design of the house fit perfectly. 

“Honey! I need you to meet someone!” The old lady shouted. I tensed. Honey? That’s is mean He, he had a new family too? 

“Honey?” A old lady shown up. She wearing a simple yellow dress for summer that fits to her. I look at them confused when the two of them hug and pull me with them.

“JIHOON!” Then another voice came, I turn to see a two more ladies come and the never ending hugs come. One wearing a green and the other one wearing violet.

“Jihoon, you finally here.” They keep whispering. 

“Yes. Hmmm” I try to said. They just chuckle and pull him to the living room. Giving a sweet tea and finally introduce.

“I’m your Aunt Seungil.” The First Lady who greet me, said.

“That’s Aunt Irene of yours.” The lady with yellow dress. 

“Your Aunt Joy.” The lady with Violet dress.

“Aunt Wendy.” Finally the green lady.

“I’m Lee Jihoon.” I finally introduce myself.

“We know, your face. You looked like him.” Aunt Irene whisper before pulling a handkerchief and wiping here tears.

“You know my dad?” I finally asked them. I badly want to finished this and have the closure.

“Yes, we’re relatives! You fool kid!” Aunt Joy smack my shoulder before crying again. I’m shocked to react. 

“I know its too much to take right now, but let us tell you something.” Aunt Wendy smile softly to him while pulling his hand to her lap and start a story about everything he was asking for such a long time.

He’s father Yoongi, met my mother on his fun trip in Korea and fell in love but my mother is quite greedy and never been agree to that, because she’s indeed greedy. After my father fell a sick when he was with my mother being greedy, she left him. She only know my dad as deliver man since my dad not really a fully citizen in Korea and only staying in Korea for her. After knowing he’s sick my dad went to back Monaco, not knowing my mother is pregnant of me. My dad finally only knows it when a letter arrived out of nowhere telling she give birth of a boy and leave it me to some orphan. The letter came from a good friend of my dad, Jung Hoseok. I cried so much when I hear my auntie tell me how my dad want to go back in Korea to find me but he can’t and begging them to help them to find me even in his dying hour.

“He loves you so much Jihoon.” Auntie Joy said.

I cried with my last family I have. “Then why not find me?” I finally asked them. Aunt Irene sob and explained that they did. They went to Korea but the said Orphanage they know burn down and they already lost hopes. Burn down? I gasped and finally realized.

“The orphange in Deagu? I was in Busan, Auntie! That’s the reason you can’t find me.” I said and explained to them that mother move to Busan after leaving my dad and leave me there before moving to Seoul and have a her own family.

They cry more and talk about more about his father. I finally knows where I get my passion in music. My father is a producer too. I smile and finally free in cage that killing me for ages. I finally found the closure I am searching and gain more family too. I’m happy. 

After coming back to his hotel, with difficulties. My aunties is a bit mess when I said I am leaving and they beg me to stay, but with a long explanation they finally let me go back to my hotel and rest, not leaving without a many hugs and kisses. They also give me a box full of my dad’s personal item. They said they belong to me now. Everything my dad belongs to me now. I sighed and open the box seeing a letters and notes inside. Grabbing one and let out a sobbed.

To My dearest son Jihoon.

———————————

“Jihoon, dear are you seeing someone?” Aunt Joy asked one dinner night.

I almost choke my wine and they laugh to me and shook my head and tell them I likes guys and have no time to see anyone. They let out a small cry saying I need to go out and need to mingle more! But half of it is threatening someone go near me. I laugh with them and enjoy the days with them. At the morning they visit my dad grave and always pay respects and talk about the beautiful life of him. Aunt Seungil likes to tell funny story of dad. Aunt Joy like to tell the bad times my dad had and tell me how meaningful of it to learn from it. Aunt Irene tells me about the achievements and work of my dad and Aunt Wendy tells me how my dad loves me since the day he finally knows about me. I can’t help but feel pleased and contented to know my dad have his sisters.
After a week staying with my Aunties they finally ask me to go out and enjoy what Monaco have. I want to refuse and use stay my last week with them but they ignore it and call a close friend son to tour me.

Teamin-hyung is really a cool guy. He tour me on the streets of Monaco with his boyfriend Minho-Hyung. After that they went to this nice restaurant not far from my aunties house and order a delicious meal and after a few drinks they went home but I really enjoy the music of the resto and decided to stay for more drinks.

I pull my phone updating my emails and my friend of what happened before smiling softly to the musician playing the piano.

“Can I join?” I paused a bit when a guy stand to my side, asking. I turn and look at him and see who is it.

I felt a was hit by a bus seeing the guy. Tall and lend, sexy and hot as hell. The jaw line of him is like begging to be lick and the smell of him intoxicating me. I blame it to alcohol but I can’t help it to feel the burning heat inside of me. I just nodded and return my face to the pianist. I’m still thankful to my music addiction, the moment I focus on the music I lessen the tension on my entire body and leave the guy alone. I try to focus to the pianist but I can feel him looking at me. I just groan inside and finally turn my eyes back to him. The guy only leaning to his left knuckle only looking at me. I try to look the area to see if the entire resto really fill in and to surprise me, it was. 

I just raise my hand. The waitress arrives right away and looking at us, softly but when she turn to the guy her eyes widen and everyone knows how here posture turn seductive. 

“Can I help you?” She only address the guy and the guy only point me. I just raise my eyebrow and try to think what he means. 

I feel like I was releasing on the spot the moment he speaks. “ I want him to have a dessert and I want a steak medium and red wine for us.” He ordered ignoring the seductive smile of the waitress. 

“Thank you for dessert but you don’t need too.” I said, trying to act cool knowing I’m shivering to every second the guy looking at him.

“I insist.” He whisper and then the wine and dessert arrive with a piece of note beside the steak of him but I only gasped when the guy just crumpled it and set it far away from them. 

“You know she’s pretty.” I try to remind him but the guy just shrugged his shoulder, continue eating. I try to act not show to be easy to his eyes but I can’t. Can you believe a guy like him appears out of nowhere. He fucking have a table manners too. 

After him finished the three glasses of wine. He smirk to me and I know this time, I will say yes to this man tonight.

“Let’s dance a bit?” He asked. I almost gag to my drinks when I look at him giving me a eye.

“Wha-t?” I try to asked but he is already standing and offering his hand and I just take it without thinking and with that, I finally let go my walls, a little bit. Try to enjoy the night with a stranger.

I feel the heat of him behind my back while we dance to a slow song of the pianist and I cant help let go a small whimper whenever he try to pull me closer to his chest.

“You’re burning. I want to touch it.” He whisper to my ears and I gasped. I don’t know how he find my sweet spot behind my ears but I can’t help moan when he start to give a lap kisses. I feel my legs turning weak every moment and I don’t know how but all he knows that they’re kissing at the restaurant then next to his room. I, begging to be fill in and sobbing to ecstasy, pleasure and never ending warm. 

I just wake up late morning with empty bed and I don’t mind it since I know someone like that guy will never stay to someone like him. Besides I need to visit my dad’s grave and try to spend time with my aunties before going back to Korea. 

Before I even move from the bed, I almost scream when I saw him seating beside his bed reading one of my dad notes. 

“What are you doing?” I demand before trying to get up but groan to the pain behind my back. The guy laughed softly and put the note back to the table and turn to him.

“So sorry. I need to distract myself a bit before the breakfast come.” He said before leaning to me and kissed my lips.

I was too shocked to react and just let him. “You’re dad works looks really fantastic.” He said. I finally smile and forget what he did and nodded agreeing to him. My dad works is fantastic. 

Then someone knocked to the door claiming the meal and he just accepted it with only a boxer. I don’t even realized he’s barely wearing anything. I feel my entire body heated, those abs. 

The guy only smirk when he finally turn to me. “We can arrange that.” He pointed my dick. I just ignore him and just try to crawl to him. He just oblige and let me pull him to my front and let me touch his skin. I give him a look asking if I can kiss it and he just smile and hold my head. I finally give it a kisses and licking it like a meal, fuck. I can’t wait any longer and try to push the boxer off and everything came fast. After two rounds they finally touches the breakfast and eating silently.

“I’m Wonwoo.” finally introduces.

“Jihoon.” I said before drinking my juice. Then a soft ring comes from my phone indicating that my Aunt calling me. I ask Wonwoo to hand him the phone, the guy only nodded and hand it over.

“Aunt Joy?” I answer.

“How are you dear?” My aunt asked me and I just smile softly before replying.

“I’m fine….”I paused a bit and look to Wonwoo who is looking at me with a confused eyes.

“But I don’t think I can join you guys until dinner time. Is that okay?” I told them. Aunt Joy only laugh and tell him its okay and try to rest. They can visit my dad’s grave tomorrow. Them cut the call off. I continue eat my meal when Wonwoo finally speak.

“I will leave after this, I need to go to work.” Wonwoo informed me. I just nodded and lay down again watching him arranging the plates away and when to shower. I just pull my phone and check my emails and try to reply to the important mails.

I don’t even realized that Wonwoo finally emerge from the bathroom fully dress from last night.

“I need to leave now. I see you around?” Wonwoo lean in again and give me deep kisses and I just nodded. He grab my phone out my hand and I can see he type something and hear his phone ring a bit.

“I save my number. Call me.” Wonwoo said then give me last kisses before leaving my room. I just sighed and roll over and try to think. Wonwoo is really hot guy and really mysterious guy but I don't want to be involve to anyone right. Since I’m leaving Monaco in few days. Besides,Wonwoo can find someone much better. I don’t need to call him.
