—Hyunsuk is sitting at the metallic high chair on the kitchen counter, while taehyun is cooking for their breakfast and suddenly,

"Attention to everyone–! Working hours will start at 6 o'clock in the evening, thank you"

A announcement was heard at the speaker. They both look at eachother, taehyun's doe eyes grew on confusion and fearness and hyunsuk was there staring at him in the eye.

At that part hyunsuk know what taehyun is feeling, he knows it very well, his feeling at his soul was also awakened confuse and fearness all over but still he can manage to hide it with his stable straight expression.

Taehyun look away and turn his head back to the stove while his doe eyes started to become reddish and his mouth agape from each, his plump lips being cherry coloured.

Hyunsuk study the boy well, he know who this beomgyu, that taehyun is talking about, and seems that taehyun need beomgyu in his life like a fence you need to lean in a rooftop.

"Tyun . ." he approach taehyun, he place his left hand at taehyun's shoulder. Taehyun look at his side to see hyunsuk showing worriedly expression.

". . d-do you think, we can still get out of here? . ." taehyun said, fully facing him.

Hyunsuk look around, his eyes roaming everywhere finding a right answer to clarify his response. "I . . ofcourse we can–!, we just need to believe in god" hyunsuk said, as he soften his gaze on taehyun.

"Ofcourse . . that's what everyone said, but what if . . what if w-we–"

"Tyunnie, believe me alright?, everything will be fine i . . i promise" hyunsuk said as he stop taehyun's words.

Hyunsuk and taehyun are out of their dorm, they are walking to the said room.

Taehyun look down to see hyunsuk holding the hem of his shirt. "hyunsuk . ." taehyun stop his tracks as he speak, that hyunsuk stop too.

Hyunsuk look up and saw taehyun's doe eye staring to his. "W-why?" "your crying." Hyunsuk panic like as if he didn't know he's crying, he wipe his tears in both sides and nervously chuckle.

"I-im crying? Hahaha no w-why would I?" Taehyun stare into his eyes, his gaze sending message to hyunsuk's, and he knows he have no rooms to escape.

"Tell me, why?"

"What if.. what if we didn't m-make it?"

"You just told me right?. . that believe in god, hm?" Taehyun's word is sure was stable but his holding his tears too, for a thing that they are now in the middle of fancy hallways and seeing other people wearing, yeah that kind of clothes.

And that make taehyun's heart beat at racing matter.

Taehyun knew so well he's not the only one who need to be protected. He don't want to get traumatised because of this work he got to and, he's still a virgin, he's still planning to save it for someone.

He will make sure he can leave before worst things happen.

Taehyun place his both hands at hyunsuk shoulders, as he speak while smiling with assurance. "You know . . I just discover that, I needed to protect you too . ."

Taehyun give a smile as he saw hyunsuk do the same, and taehyun, need someone to save them before it's too late.
