On the Down Low

Cuatro

That evening as Jin was preparing dinner, he couldn't stop thinking about how Tae almost kissed him. And he was going to allow him to do it.

He then thinks about the people who started following them earlier and wonders who it could be.

He knows that his husband has lots of enemies everywhere. But this is the first time that he's been the target of their anger. He is almost certain that his husband would do whatever is possible to keep him safe and if he was ever to be successfully taken, he will do everything he can to get him back safe and sound.

As he's busy cooking, he doesn't notice that Tae has walked into the kitchen searching for something to drink.

Tae walks over to the fridge and as he grabs the pitcher of lemonade, he turns to look at Jin.

He sees him deep in thought and doesn't want to disturb him. So he walks to the cabinet and grabs a glass.

He then pours himself some lemonade and the noise is what makes Jin finally notice him.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were here. I'm still cooking right now, but it should be ready in about half an hour."

"Sounds good. I'll be in my room until then. I will have to report to your husband when he gets home."

Jin nods at him, knowing he means what happened this afternoon.

So Tae goes to his room and Jin continues cooking.

A short while later, Jin's husband arrives home and immediately goes in search of his husband. When he sees Jin in front of the stove he sneaks up behind him and wraps his arm around his waist.

"I'm home baby. Is dinner almost ready?" He asked.

"Yes, just about. Just go wash up and it'll be ready by the time you get back."

His husband smiles at him, happy to have such a perfect husband. So he leans down to give him a deep kiss.

Jin is already used to the occasional kisses and groping and knows it's part of being married. But he still isn't too fond of it.

When his husband disappears upstairs to get freshened up, Park Bogum wanders into the kitchen.

He reaches for a glass and walks towards the sink to get some water. He stares at Jin who is watching him from his peripheral vision and he so badly wants to slap that smug look off him.

"You're really enjoying your life here aren't you?" He asked.

Jin turns to face him and asks, "What do you mean?"

Bogum takes a drink of water and keeps his eyes on him.

"You know exactly what I mean. You play the sweet and innocent part very well. You have my friend fooled. But you'll never fool me."

Jin crosses his arms over his chest as he glares at him.

"I don't know what the hell your problem is with me. But don't forget that I was dragged into this marriage against my will. So I'm not acting any certain way to impress him.

He seems to like me just as I am. Is that what you hate about me? That he chose me over you? Do you have a secret desire for my husband? And he's never seen you as anything other than a friend?"

Jin chuckles as he finishes speaking and the mocking tone of his questioning enrages Bogum. So he rushes over to him and grabs him by his throat and pushes him against the counter.

"Don't fuck with me! I am not to be trifled with. Don't think that you are safe from me just because you're married to my friend. I could easily have you killed and he will mourn you for a week before he finds his next husband."
