Earth spent the rest of the day in his bedroom. He didn't go out for anything. He couldn't believe that Kao was his new bodyguard and he obviously didn't want to get near him. Tay spent his time in his office in the mansion and he had dinner served there as well. Earth didn't want dinner.
When Tay was done with his work, he went upstairs to his bedroom. He slammed the door hard.
The bodyguards would usually be near the bedroom or near the entrance door waiting for Tay or Earth to leave the house and go somewhere. Sammy saw Kao in the resting area near the bedroom and went to tell him to wait downstairs near the entrance.

"Hey, you should go downstairs and wait there. You might not like what you hear." -Sammy told him knowing well what happens when Tay closes the door harshly like that.

"No. I can stay here."-Kao
"No. Go downstairs. Please Kao. Don't-"
"Let go! It hurts Tay!"-Earth screamed and a broken glass was heard.
Kao ran trying to get to the bedroom but Sammy  tried to stop him.
"Stop Kao. You can't. Don't complicate things more!"-Sammy had to stop Kao or he would make things even more difficult and probably would get fired.
"But he... he.. he is hurting him"-Kao said as words would break as he spoke. Ohm had told him that Tay was controlling but abusive? Why would Earth allow this?

"Kao go downstairs. Please. I am begging you." -Sammy said trying to get Kao to calm down.

Sammy took Kao to the kitchen that was empty after the maids cleaned and  went to sleep. Kao dropped to the floor put his hand on his forehead and try to not cry and calm himself down.

"Why haven't you done anything about this? Is he always like this?!"-Kao

"I tried! But Earth doesn't let me." -Sammy sighed "If you are not going to be able to control yourself, then you should leave the job and try something else because Tay won't stop. He is sometimes worse. So please please control yourself! I know it is difficult but you need to control that anger. Yes, Tay is so controlling and abusive but there is nothing I can do if Earth doesn't want to." -Sammy knew the anger and sadness Kao felt but if he wanted to be near Earth he needed to calm down. She has been feeling this way ever since she started working there. She could never get used to the screams and the marks Earth always had.

"Fck!! How did I let this happen?!!" Kao screamed when he got out for some fresh air from the kitchen door.

Tay left early in the morning for work. As soon as he left, Kao went upstairs and tried to open the bedroom door but it was closed.

"What are you doing? Stop! The maids will see you." -Sammy

"I want to know if he is okay."- Kao was worried. He wanted to go in and hug Earth. Kiss him hold him and tell him he was sorry.

"Move!"-Sammy knocked on the door but there was no answer. She usually waited a couple of minutes for Earth to reply.

"Earth. Breakfast is ready. Are you coming downstairs or should I bring you some?" -Sammy

"I'm not hungry!"-Earth replied looking himself on the mirror. He had marks everywhere.

"Are you okay? Do you need anything?"-Sammy

"No! Leave me alone!"- Earth knew Kao was standing there with Sammy. He heard him but didn't dare to open the door.

"Ok"- Sammy grabbed Kao's arm and made him wait in the resting area near the bedroom.

"Do not get near the bedroom door! Do you understand? If he needs something he will ask." -Sammy

"Just an ok?  Really? You not going in to check if he is actually fine?"- Kao

"I can't! He won't let me. Listen you need to stop, I work here ok? I can't just go in there whenever I want. If I do something wrong he will make Tay fire me. Earth hates me, ok? I can't get fired, I can't leave him here by himself!" -Sammy told Kao angrily and left downstairs to do her job.

Kao breathed hard and try to stop this feeling of breaking that door and going in to comfort Earth.
------
Tay came back home really late. He was hungry and tired but he still wanted to have dinner with his husband. Tay ordered Sammy to get Earth to the dinning table.

"He said he isn't hungry, sir"- Sammy said afraid because she knew that Tay wanted Earth sitting with him having dinner.

"Ugh!"- Tay stood up from the table and went to get Earth.

Sammy went behind him and saw Kao sitting in the resting area near the bedroom. Kao stood up but Sammy signaled him with her hand to sit down. Tay opened the door and didn't let Sammy in.

"What are you doing, huh? I want you to go downstairs and have dinner with me. Now!"-Tay

"I am not hungry! Eat by yourself!"- Earth really didn't want to come out the bedroom. He still had marks and didn't want to see Kao.

"I am not asking you if you are hungry! Fcking go downstairs! I mean it!"- Tay left the bedroom to go the dinning table and Sammy followed behind.

Earth gave a good scream of frustration but put his oversized sweater with some shorts underneath and opened the door to the bedroom. He passed through the rest area where Kao was standing waiting to see him. They made eye contact but Earth looked away and ran downstairs. He sat in front of Tay and started to drink water. He wasn't hungry at all.
