Chapter 45 - Sea is Jealous, Boss is a Menace

> 🍓 Theme: Jealousy (Sea-style), smug possessive Boss, teasing, over-clingy love, playful chaos

😌 Mood: Healing through soft obsession and romantic madness

—

Sea had been trying to focus on his recovery.

Really.

But the problem wasn't the pain.

It was Boss.

Boss, who suddenly decided Sea could not be left unattended for more than five minutes. Boss, who showed up with food, kisses, complaints, and drama everywhere Sea went. Boss, who had practically moved into his dorm, his bed, his clothes, his skin.

> "Did you just spray my cologne?" Sea asked, nose wrinkling. "I miss your scent when I'm not breathing it in," Boss replied casually, sniffing his shirt.

Sea turned red. "You live on me, what do you mean not breathing it in?!"

> "Still. Want it on my sheets, too."

It was all manageable... until Sea walked into the school hallway and saw something that made his stomach twist.

Some random tall boy was leaning a little too close while talking to Boss. Laughing too much. Touching his arm. Looking... interested.

Boss didn't even look bothered.

Worse—he smirked. That damn smirk Sea hated when it wasn't for him.

> "Who's that?" Sea asked, pretending not to care. "Hmm?" Boss looked up, slow. "Oh. He's new. Said I looked familiar. Asked if I do modeling."

Sea: 😐

Boss: 😏

Sea: 😠

Boss: "You're cute when you're mad."

Sea turned on his heel and walked off. Boss chased him.

> "Sea, come on—don't be like that. I only model for you now."

> "Go ask him to smile with his eyes, then."

"You're such a brat. You want me to kiss you here so they know who I belong to?"

> "Don't you dare—"

Boss had already pushed him into the wall and kissed him breathless.

Later, in the hallway:

> Girl 1: "Did you hear Boss kissed Sea in the middle of class change?"

Girl 2: "SEA'S FACE TURNED RED LIKE A STRAWBERRY."

Random student: "He growled at the janitor for 'looking too long.'"

Another: "Boss changed his school schedule to match Sea's. All his classes."

Girl 3: "...I think it's romantic."

Girl 2: "I think it's scary."

Girl 1: "I think I want that."

Later, in the dorm:

Sea shoved a pillow at Boss. "You're annoying."

> "You're mine," Boss said, laying on top of him like a human blanket.

Sea rolled his eyes, but he didn't push him away.

> "You were jealous, weren't you?"

"No."

"I can make you admit it."

"Try it and I'll hide all your cologne."

> Boss paused dramatically. "You wouldn't."

> "Wanna bet?"

Then he leaned in close. Boss thought he'd kiss him—but instead, Sea whispered against his lips:

> "...You're mine, too."

Boss forgot how to breathe.
