Chapter Thirty Three: Leeknow Explains

I sat on his bed and held him close to me. Closer than I ever had. I never wanted to let his go again. He had sobbed the whole way home and I couldn't imagine the unbearable pain he was going through.

"Min, it's ok. It's all OK." I reassured him as I stroked his soft hair and rubbed his back gently. He needed me more than he ever had, and I was going to stay strong for his sake.

"I ch-cheated though." He whimpered and held his face in his hands in utter despair. It was as though a pit had opened up and I was desperately trying to pull him out of it, but he was just out of my reach.

"No! You didn't!" I said more forcefully than I intended to. "Min, look at me." He lifted his head and his beautiful face was so anguished and tear stained, I wanted him to understand, that none of this was his fault.

"I love you. What happened between Lix and you wasn't cheating. It wasn't anything like that. It has changed nothing between us. I love you with my whole heart Lee Minho. I wish you had told me, sure, but I understand why you didn't." I pressed my lips to his forehead and he closed his eyes, as more tears flowed down his cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry Ji. I'm so sorry." He half whispered. I pulled his head into my shoulder and squeezed him. I was never letting my precious Min go anywhere ever again.

Not under Mr Lee's instruction.

"Stop apologising baby. You did nothing wrong. I wish I had been more understanding of you and Lix. I'm sorry I've been so distant with you." I murmured as the guilt settled on my shoulders like someone had just dropped a boulder on me. Minho and I had been going through a rough patch since he punched me in the face and ran off with his father.

But that ended today. Especially after what Lix had revealed to me. Mr Lee was up to something deeper, and I wanted to catch him out in his little game.

"I love you Jisung. I love you so much and I'm so scared of losing you." He admitted. My heart was heavy and I couldn't remember the last time it felt light. It hadn't ever since I had moved into this God forsaken house.

"You're not gonna lose me Min. You're never gonna lose me. You're my world and no one, and nothing, will ever change that. Got it?" I said. He nodded and sniffed slightly.

"Why don't we lay down, relax and watch a movie or something? I want to reconnect with you. Let's forget all this shit and pretend everything is OK for the night." I suggested. He lifted his head and smiled softly at me.

"That sounds perfect Jisung." He slowly moved his face in, and I met him halfway. His lips were wet and salty with tears but I didn't care. At least now I knew why he had been behaving so erratically.

"A-Also..." the next part was going to be difficult. Thinking of my Father's brutal untimely death always made my anxiety flare up.

"I-I want to thank you. From the bottom of my heart. For everything you and Jin have done. Thank you for befriending us, thank you for caring, a-and thank you for taking care of him that day." I felt tears pinch at the corners of my eyes, but I quickly blinked them away.

"Jisung, don't thank me. I wanted to. I know how it feels to be helpless and have no one there to help. I wouldn't have ever walked away from him." My heart swelled with pride at the perfect boy sat in front of me, meeting Lee Minho had been the best thing ever to happen to me. I dabbed at his cheeks and kissed his forehead.

"I love you Lee Minho." I murmured.

"I love you to my Jisung." I stood up and offered my hands to him. He got up and we began changing out of our clothes. It was nice that I finally felt comfortable enough to change in front of him, and I knew he didn't judge me. His body was healing and I was glad at least, the beatings had stopped.
