Taehyun and his father had arrived bright and early the following morning. His horses carrying along his carriage were the reason Yeonjun awake in the morning. He groaned at the noise, nevertheless he got out of bed and opened his curtains seeing it was bright outside and the birds were chirping cheerfully. Then he saw the Kangs. Then he saw taehyun step out of the carriage.

He scoffed at the sight and closed his curtains once again.

Soobin was already out in the field tending to crops, they were nearly ready to harvest. The tired boy had sunken eyes and he moved very slowly as he had no energy left. He'd only been here a few weeks and yet he wondered how beomgyu had lasted 3 years in these conditions.

He noticed a carriage arrive and the same people that arrived a couple weeks ago were here once again. He never got to meet them last time and to be frank he was glad. The elder to get out of the carriage looked sophisticated and snobby and the same was said for the younger, who soobin believed to be his son.

He watched from a distance as the pair entered the large household. Soobin wondered if he'd one day get to go inside instead of boiling to death in the field everyday.

Yeonjun greeted taehyun at the front door along with his father. He faked a smile and shook his hand with a firm grip.

"So Yeonjun, are you excited to have the place alone for a few days" mr Kang smiled.

Yeonjun nodded. Not that he'd know what to do with himself. Or know how to run this place.

Beomgyu had entered the living area with some drinks for everybody. Yeonjun took the drink from beomgyus tray and thanked him graciously.

The rest sat and waiting for the drinks to be set infront of them and with no appreciation. Yeonjun watched on disgusted in the other three. Once beomgyu was leaving he thanked him once again.

"You have more manners for peasants than your only family" his father scoffed.

"They're practically family they're always around. And he works hard he deserves some gratification" Yeonjun sighed.

"You disgust me son" Mr Choi spat.

Yeonjun lowered his head. He knew that's how his father felt about him but hearing it stung.

"May I be excused father?" Yeonjun asked

"Yes get out of my sight" Mr Choi accepted.

Yeonjun left to go sit in his room for a while. He missed soobin. He decided that after not seeing him for a while he'd sneak back in tonight. He needed to see him.

As the late evening drew in the household were sound asleep. Yeonjun creeped down the stairs and snuck out towards the shed.

It opened with a creak and Yeonjun gritted his teeth together hoping it wasn't too loud. "Soobin?" He whispered.

Yeonjuns eyes laid upon the state of the young boy and worry appeared on his face immediately.

"Oh soobin I'm sorry I haven't visited. I-I just couldn't I didn't know what to do after what happened" Yeonjun rushed his words out.

"Shh shh it's okay." Soobin smiled warmly. He was glad Yeonjun was back. "I'm just glad you're here now"

"I'm really sorry binnie. Are you doing okay?" Yeonjun pouted.

Soobin nodded his head. He really wasn't doing okay but he had to lie to the boy, he looks so upset.

"You look so tired and weak" Yeonjun frowned deeper holding his hands to his face.

"Please don't get upset jun" soobin spoke up weakly, his throat too dry to be any louder.

"How can I not. I did this to you." Yeonjun began to cry.

"No your family did this to me. You're doing everything you can to help me" soobin smiled brushing the tears from yeonjuns eyes.

With a sniffle Yeonjun stopped crying. "I'm gunna get you out of here"

"And how are you going to do that?" Soobin chuckled lowly.

"My father. He's leaving tomorrow with Mr Kang they're going on a business trip. They'll be gone for a whole week that means we have 7 days to get you back home to your mother" Yeonjun deciphered a plan.

"We don't even know where she is anymore. I've been gone weeks" soobin sighed

"Stop being a negative Nancy! We can at least try!" Yeonjun smiled.

"W-won't you get in trouble? For losing me if I go" soobin worried.

"I don't care. What's he going to do kill me? He's my father" Yeonjun chuckled.

"If you say so" soobin still unconvinced with the plan of action.

"Okay then! I'll see you tomorrow get some rest!" Yeonjun grinned giving his a kiss on the forehead before running off back inside.

His eyed widened as soon as he closed his bedroom door.

He just kissed soobin.

And he liked it.
