It was the same boring day at work back in that same boring shop that nothing happens in at all.

Yeosang scrolled down his phone as he waited for time to pass and to finally be free. He worked 2nd shift again today, and thank god there weren't many people since the store is pretty small and far away from the town.

I mean, who would come in a store in a middle of nowhere at night? Yeosang scrolled through the messages, realizing how Minwoo didn't even text him when he left. It's a good thing though.

Yeosang sighed as he placed his phone down and looked at the wound on his hand.

His face didn't hurt anymore, but the scar where the glass cut him did a bit. Yeosang knows it will heal eventually, but he is in a constant fear or Minwoo just showing up. He can show anywhere. Wooyoung's home, the job, or he can just pop up from the corner of the street.

Yeosang remembered everything that Minwoo has said and done to him, and he already felt too worthless. He doesn't know why didn't he leave earlier. Yeosang should have left when Minwoo firstly started to abuse him.

Minwoo was a good man before, but he showed how much an addiction can ruin a person.

He is probably in the casino now before he goes home when the sun rises. Yeosang wondered if he even noticed he is gone. It was kinda good on his side, but also bad because he doesn't know what is that man even capable of doing anymore.

Thank god that it was the end of his shift and Yeosang can calmly go to Wooyoung's. He has been staying there and ever since he left Minwoo 3 days ago and Wooyoung didn't let him go anywhere alone.

He might be a little bit overprotective, but Yeosang understands him. He would do the same if that happened to his best friend.

Texting Wooyoung that he is done with his shift and getting a reply that the younger is going to be there soon, Yeosang left the store as another person came to take over the shift. He zipped his jacket before closing the door of the store and getting out to wait for Wooyoung.

Yeosang opened the door, taking a few steps forward and looking down at his feet before stopping and looking up when he saw the shiny black shoes in front of him.

He looked up and saw the same man from yesterday night.

Yeosang widened his eyes as he took a step back, taking a good look at the man. He wore everything black, and Yeosang's attention was at chain that was around his neck and a leather jacket on top.

His dark hair was messy and falling over his eyes again like the last two times Yeosang has seen him. He could see his face a lot clearer now, and Yeosang saw the big eyes he had with a dark color.

It also added to that 'don't fuck with me' vibe, and Yeosang just liked how it suited him. But why is he here now and what did he want? He stared at Yeosang without any expression, instead keeping his hands in his pockets and just staying quiet.

Wow, he looks so good..

Realizing that he was staring, Yeosang shook his head a bit before he bowed down a bit. The man's eyes followed him all the time.

"I'm sorry.." He mumbled before turning around and starting to leave.

Before Yeosang could even make a few steps forward, the man spoke up.

"Wait." He said to him.

And only one word was enough for Yeosang to stop walking further. He felt himself shake, but he didn't know if it was for the cold air or the fact that this man might be following him. Yeosang didn't really believe that it was a coincidence.

"Y-yeah?" He mumbled as he turned around to see him.

The man licked his lips before taking a step closer to Yeosang. Their eyes connected again, and Yeosang was becoming more and more scared.

"Do you remember me?" The man asked as he stared at Yeosang.

The male felt his mouth get dry as he just nodded to him, making the male nod back and let out a small hum. First Minwoo, and who is this guy now? Is he hired by Minwoo to spy on him?

"Wait." He repeated again when the blonde was about to turn around and leave.

Yeosang hated himself for being a coward, but he was just scared after Minwoo. It seems to be leaving a huge mark on him.

"Yeah?..." Yeosang mumbled again, voice almost not even being heard.

The man's eyes wandered all over his face, stopping at the scars he had there for a couple of seconds. Yeosang felt so uncomfortable and he wanted Wooyoung to come as fast as he can so he can get away. 

"Does it hurt?" The man asked in the same tone again.

Yeosang lightly furrowed eyebrows in confusion.

"W-what?"

"Your face. Does it hurt?" He repeated. 

Okay, this man is nuts. Who the hell is he and what does he want? He better leave him alone or Yeosang will call a police on him. 

"Uh.. no, no. It doesn't.." Yeosang mumbled.

The man nodded, looking him in the eyes again before he averted his gaze to the scar on his cheek again.

"Who did that?"

Yeosang opened his mouth but closed it as he watched the man in confusion. This was getting weird now, and Yeosang is getting very uncomfortable. Firstly seeing him in the middle of the night with men that have guns, and now he is curious about his wounds?

What in the life is he and what does he want?

"I-I'm sorry-" Yeosang mumbled as he took a step back.

"Oh, my bad." The man cut him off.

"I didn't introduce myself. I'm Choi Jongho, sorry for making you uncomfortable."

He gave out his hand for Yeosang to shake.

The male looked down to it before looking up to the man. His palm was probably bigger than Yeosang's, but what caught his attention the most was the veins that popped up on the outer side of it.

Even if that was pretty hot, Yeosang was getting more and more scared now. Who is this man and more importantly, where is Wooyoung?

"I-I.."

Yeosang felt his heart beat fast as he thought what to do. He was scared of this man and he didn't know what to do, just stare at him and talk like he knew him for ages or run away. That man placed his hand back in the pocket of his jacket after a few moments as Yeosang just stared at him in fear.

He felt a cold sweat run over his body as the man called Jongho stared at him with that poker face. Yeosang breathed harder and harder, feeling like he is going to faint any second.

Where the hell is Wooyoung?!

"Is everything okay? You look pale." Jongho spoke up again. looking at his face.

Yeosang shook his head. "I-I'm okay... I need to go."

The man furrowed his eyebrows lightly, and it was the first time Yeosang saw him having any other expression than that glare.

"I think you should slow down..-"

Yeosang didn't hear the rest as he felt dizzy, feeling his eyes shut down slowly as everything went black.
