"I-I told you n-not to look." Tears were streaming from my eyes as Leeknow held me against his warm skin. I hadn't even considered what this would look like to anyone else. He was in his underwear and I was half dressed. I hugged the shirt across my body trying to hide it.

"I didn't mean to Jisung. I'm sorry." He whispered as he stroked my hair. I could barely get my words out and I snivelled. Tears were falling and I couldn't stop them. I never let anyone see them.

"Wh-Why did you look?" I asked quietly. "I-I asked you not to." I wanted to pick my fingers but I knew he wouldn't let me. Plus they were all covered so I couldn't. I frowned as I thought back to what he had seen. It wasn't his cross to bear. They were mine. I watched as he squeezed his bruised eyes shut.

"Put your shirt on." He instructed. My eyes widened and I frowned.

"I-It's too late." I objected. He shook his head and squeezed his eyes shut more firmly.

"It's not. You can watch me. I promise I won't peek this time." He tried to reassure me. I stood and quickly pulled the shirt over my body. It felt good to be covered. I tapped on his shoulder lightly to indicate I was dressed. He slowly opened his eyes and stared up at me. I dabbed my cheeks with his sleeves and forced a smile that I knew wasn't convincing.

"Better?" He stood and gently pulled me back into the warmth of his body. Why did I enjoy being so close to him? I never usually let anyone touch me. Much less pull me around. Hug me when we were nearly naked and just generally be in my personal space. Even Felix hadn't seen my body. I never changed in front of him.

"I'm sorry." I whispered quietly as I buried my face into his bare chest.

"It's ok. I'm sorry too. Don't worry we don't have to discuss them." He ran his long slender fingers through my hair and I looked up at him with wide eyes.

"We don't have to discuss yours either." I stated quietly. His body was covered in random scars and cuts. I assumed most of them were from Mr Lee and I dreaded to think what he went through when he was here alone. He chuckled and gently ruffled my hair.

"Thank you. Come on, let's get some sleep." He said as he nodded towards the bed. I slowly clambered in and pressed my body against the wall. I hoped Lix was OK, and Mom too. Everyone had been so upset, and I had heard Lix wailing for Hyunjin before I left. Mr Lee had not been impressed that his other son could not leave. I guessed that's why Leeknow had faced the brunt of his anger. I instinctively moved my hand towards my mouth.

Before my fingers could contact my lips Leeknow shoved his finger against them. I went cross eyed as I tried to stare down at my lips.

"Yah! What are you doing?" The words came out slightly muffled and he chuckled.

"No chewing your fingers. No picking at your fingers. No anything. Tonight you're going to forget about everything and we're going to make some plans for things to do when Lix is better." He stated. My face lit up and I couldn't help smiling brightly at him. He removed his fingers and gently placed his head on his hands.

His deep brown eyes were trained on me and I felt shy. I wasn't sure what to say and instinctively moved my hand. He rolled his eyes and lifted his head. He took one of my hands and placed it under his head. He gently placed his fingers around my hand and rested his warm swollen cheek on it.

"Yah! Stop being so weird." I murmured. He took my other hand and pressed it to his lips. I felt my face burning up and buried my face into his pillow. Why was he having this effect on me? I didn't want him to.

"I told you no. If you do it, I'll go and tell my father that I'm selling drugs to you." He threatened and I snapped my head around.

"That's not funny Leeknow." I whined. He smirked and moved closer to me. He pulled my arm around his waist and placed his now free hand on my cheek softly.

"Who said it was a joke sweetie?" His eyes searched mine and I realised he was serious. I gulped and nodded. I didn't want his father to ever touch him again.

"O-Ok." I breathed the word out. He closed his eyes. His smirk was still on his face and he looked... Happy. I studied his face and found myself reaching out to touch it. My fingertips barely brushed his cheek and his eyes snapped open. I opened my mouth slightly. He had caught me in the act.

"Now who's being weird?" He asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. I pouted and flopped my hand down on the bed between us.

"Fuck off Leeknow." I poked my tongue out at him and he pressed his hand to his chest.

"I'm wounded Jisung." He teased as he pretended to be hurt. He placed his hand on his forehead dramatically and played dead. I slapped his arm softly and he started laughing.

"I thought you were tired!" I said, mildly irritated. "Was this your weird way to con me into bed again?" I smirked this time. He opened one of his eyes and looked at me with a more genuine smile on his face.

"What if it was?" He asked. I hid my face in his pillow and groaned loudly. I looked back at him and his eyes were trained on me again.

"Go to sleep." I instructed. He reached over and turned his lamp off, and then rolled onto his back. I felt my heart lurch, wishing he had just cuddled me instead. I pulled my hands back to my body and I felt him immediately searching for them.

"Yah! If I hear so much as a slight tear from one of those band aids, you're in trouble dipshit." He murmured. I tucked my hands in between my legs and pulled a face at him.

"If I hear so much as a rip from mer mer mer." I said in a mocking tone. I felt his arm suddenly wrap around my body. He pulled me close and tucked my head under his chin.

"You're impossible. You know that?" He mumbled. His skin smelled incredible and I enjoyed his warm muscles gently pressing against me as his chest slowly rose and fell. His warm breath tickled my cheek and danced down over my shoulders. I focused on not showing a physical reaction. I couldn't.

"L-Leeknow." I said, suddenly serious. I had to ask him something before I let anything else happen.

"Mhm." He sounded exhausted and I could hear his breathing deepening. It was now or never.

"You're not in love with Lix, are you?" He chuckled slightly and pulled me even closer. I felt him wince and I tried not to move. I didn't want to cause him any pain.

"Yah, when I told you he was a customer I meant it. Why do you think I told you twice dipshit? It's not Felix I want." He stated.

"Th-Then there is someone?" Why was I so disappointed? He sighed and groaned slightly.

"You're so oblivious my sweet little Jisung." Light flooded the room again and he lifted my chin and looked at me. He moved my hair and his warm hands cupped my face. He slapped my hand as I raised it automatically.

"I swear to God. If I have to tie you up to stop you doing that. I will." He threatened. His face was deadly serious and it reminded me of when I first met him. I pulled away from him and pressed myself against the wall again.

He wasn't going to let me escape though. He moved over and pinned me with his own body.

"Why am I oblivious? What am I oblivious to? I'm not some dumb kid. Just tell me." I said as I tried to sink further into the cold stone behind me.

"Jisung, you absolute fucking moron. Shut up and kiss me." My eyes widened and I was in shock. Had he just...

"Wh-Whe-Wai-Did-Uh.... huh?" I couldn't string a sentence together. He was in my head.

The worst part was I was enjoying it.

"There is someone. I'm staring right at him. If he doesn't kiss me in the next five seconds he can go and sleep in the room with my Father's tarantula collection." His eyes were full of mischief. I opened my mouth to respond, but Leeknow saw his chance and took it.

His tongue was in my mouth before I could say another word.
