Slave engraved/ Yeonbin

IV

Soobin awoke in the night crying. His tear soaked cheeks left a puddle on the floor from him being laid on his stomach.

He wasn't awake for long until he heard the gate begin to open. He sat up as fast as he could hissing at the pain.

"Woah be careful"

A familiar and gentle voice was heard.

Yeonjun appeared from the darkness with a bucket of water and a cloth

"I'm really sorry, I-I didn't want to hit you" Yeonjun frowned as he kneeled down beside soobin.

"It's fine, if you didn't you could have been the one taking the next hit" soobin gave a Sincere smile.

"Lay down on your stomach" Yeonjun instructed while helping him do so.

"M-my dad wouldn't do that" Yeonjun shook his head.

"That answer didn't sound very honest and besides I heard him slap you" soobin sighed

"He's not usually like that. I disobeyed him I deserved it" Yeonjun shrugged dipping the cloth into the bucket of water

"Hssss-ahhh" soobin groaned in pain at the contact of the cold water and cloth rubbing over his wounds.

"I'm sorry I have to clean them or they'll get infected" Yeonjun whispered.

"Thankyou" soobin smiled.

"Don't mention it, I did this it's only best if I help" Yeonjun gently brushed over his broken skin with his fingertips after finishing cleaning.

"I would have come earlier but i couldn't face you after what I did, plus my father was yelling at me" Yeonjun kept his eyes on the boys back.

"You didn't do anything yeonjun, don't blame yourself" soobin comforted the boy.

He began to slowly sit up making yeonjuns hand fall from its position.

Yeonjuns eyes followed up his chest until he reached his eyes.

The pair starred into each other's orbs for a few moments.

Soobin raised his hand a placed it over yeonjuns cheek where he saw the bright red mark still.

Yeonjun instantly felt comfort in his grasp. Maybe it was because he hasn't had this kind of physical contact since his mother passed.

Soobin quickly dropped his hand after a second  exiting his trance from the boys soft cheeks.

Yeonjun looked back down at the boys torso, soobin was kind of built and Yeonjun was surprised to see it.

Unintentionally Yeonjun placed his hand on the boys abs, stroking his fingers across it in interest and curiosity.

Soobin looked down at his hand for a moment before looking back at yeonjuns face who's eyes weren't looking back at him.

"W-what are you doing?" Soobin whispered in confusion.

Yeonjun dropped his hand and looked back up to Soobin's eyes.

He cleared his throat and began throwing the cloth into the bucket.

"I should get going, see you later" Yeonjun said standing up and refusing to make eye contact.

Soobin watched as the boy picked up the bucket and rushed out of the room flustered.

He chuckled slightly at the strange boys antics then decided to head back to sleep hoping he would feel better in the morning.

"RISE AND SHINE"

Soobin immediately woke up knowing what that meant. He tried his best to get up as fast as he could the pain in his back still just as bad as it was yesterday.

Beomgyu headed over and helped the boy out. Once again they made their way to the crop field, this time to water them.

"How are you feeling?" Beomgyu asked as he turned on the garden hose.

"Fine I guess" soobin shrugged.

"NO TALKING, AND SLAVE NUMBER ONE OVER HERE!" Mr Choi yelled.

Beomgyu handed the hose to soobin. "You take care of this, I have to help with inside chores"

Beomgyu then walked away and headed inside.

Soobin had only been here for a few days yet he already felt exhausted and fed up, he wondered how he would keep going for three years like beomgyu had. He must be strong to still be going.

Soobin wiped the beads off sweat from his head before continuing his job.

By night fall Soobin was sat alone in the cold shed, still no sight of beomgyu and soobin was starting to get worried. After what happened to himself yesterday he couldn't bare to think of the same happening to him.

Telling the time was impossible in a shed with no windows but soobin thought it must have been a few hours by now, maybe around 11pm

Not long later Beomgyu hobbled inside trying to be as quiet as possible, which didn't matter because soobin was still awake and he would continue to be until he had returned safely.

"What happened?" Soobin's small voice made beomgyu jump.

"Oh you're still awake?" Beomgyu sat down beside the other.

"Where have you been? Are you okay?" Soobin sat up.

"I'm fine, it's just taehyun was over again. He pushed me down the stairs, Yeonjun found me knocked out and helped me patch up" Beomgyu shrugged

"Why would taehyun do that?" Soobin pouted.

"Because we're below him. He can do what he wants without consequence" Beomgyu sighed before standing back up.

"Well are you okay now? Do you need help?" Soobin gave a worried look as he watched the boy stand.

"I think I'm still far better that you were yesterday and possibly today. Just get some rest" beomgyu smiled at the boys kind gestures he'd never met someone as kind hearted as soobin and it was upsetting that the world lead him here.

The pair both collapsed on the ground and eventually slipped away to sleep. The exhaustion they got during the day helped them pass out during the night. Because without a pillow, a blanket or even a bed sleep was almost impossible on the hard, cold stone.
