High Infidelity

-13-

Asahi and Jaehyuk arrived home safely. Jaehyuk offered to let Asahi remain in their mansion for protection because you never know what can happen in the future, and Burnheim has just recently revealed his presence. Jaehyuk won't allow Burnheim to touch Asahi's exquisite skin while he is out and about in the city, where he is presumably still engaging in his terrible habit. At all costs, he will defend his sweetheart. even if it means risking his soul.

Burnheim, you can tell by his name that he is a devil's offspring. His father, Mr. Burnheim, is the CEO of the well-known BH Company; he freely permits his son to commit heinous crimes as long as no one can see them, which is why they always congregate in a remote location. Mateo Burnheim is Burnheim's full name; he only used his last name to keep his actual identity a secret, with the exception of Jaehyuk. He overheard Burnheim talking to his father and overheard Mr. Burnheim refer to him as Mateo.

Mateo also lacks a mother, which is why he commits various crimes. He has never experienced the love of a mother, and his father is a failed parent and doesn't give a damn about him. It's a tragic situation for Mateo, but still. He has no right to torture or kill innocent people without justification. 

Jaehyuk glance at Asahi who's having a great conversation with Jihoon "So, what are going to do about him?" Haruto asks the older. As a former member of the group known as 'Fang,' Jaehyuk gathers his pals to talk about this "I don't know what we are going to do about him. I have a feeling that he knows Asahi and he is going to take him away from me as a bait so I can go back to that awful group" Since that group nearly destroyed his reputation, he doesn't want to rejoin them. Instead, he prefers to purify his soul by making out with random patrons at bars.

"We all regretted joining that group, but hey! Look at us now. We've changed a lot" Yoshi has a point. They indeed changed a lot, all of their sacrifices did help them and that's a thing that they should be proud of "I know we've changed, but at this point we should be aware of our surroundings and I will keep an eye to Asahi" Once again, he glance at Asahi. He will do anything just to protect the precious guy that tamed his heart.

In the meantime, Mateo Burnheim is concealed somewhere. They have spoken of abducting someone "Better make sure that you will successfully bring him here" Mateo said to his minions and that person just nods "Yes sir, I'm sure of that" Mateo just chuckled and look at the picture of two lovely couple who's enjoying their day in a field of flowers "He knows a lot about me and we need to eliminate him before he can destroy me" He spoke those words and threw a knife at the image, which fell on Jaehyuk's face "That lovely guy will be the key of my sweet victory."

...

Asahi persistently begs Jaehyuk to let him visit his friend Doyoung "Please Jaehyuk. It's been a week since I last saw him" Jaehyuk simply watches Asahi as he begs to be permitted to leave while knelt on the ground "I know you miss him but I can't really let you go without me" He said while cupping the younger's cheeks. Asahi got to his feet and grabbed Jaehyuk's hands "What is really happening Jaehyuk? No one will hurt me, why you're being paranoid?"

"I know it sounds like it but please trust me on this one. Your life is at risk" Jaehyuk is reluctant to tell Asahi the truth since he doesn't want the latter to be alarmed or stressed out. If Asahi discover about that, he would undoubtedly be made aware of his troubled history, which he desperately wants to put behind him. It is also possible that Asahi will steer clear of him because he is aware of Asahi's hatred for people as a result of the close call he had with rape. He is afraid of losing his beloved partner.

Asahi, on the other hand, is quite curious about what is really occurring, particularly to Jaehyuk. He only wants to spend time with his dear friend and go out with him, but Jaehyuk won't let him go out unless Jaehyuk goes with him. He is wasn't sure why Jaehyuk is acting so suspiciously. He keeps asking Jaehyuk questions because he is so perplexed, but Jaehyuk dodges them.

Sincerity be damned, their lives are in imminent danger. Asahi will be abducted and used as bait to lure Jaehyuk into his death bed. Even inside the mansion, their freedom of movement is severely restricted, and Jaehyuk is beginning to develop paranoia, believing that a bomb has already been set there when there isn't one. Well, he's mistaken because Mateo doesn't play games that way; instead, he likes to spice things up until he's satisfied with his creations.

"Am I really in danger Jaehyuk?" The younger ask Jaehyuk and Jaehyuk just avoid his gaze and nodded "Just don't ask more question and let me handle this. Don't stress about it ok? You're going to be fine, I promise" Asahi raised his pinky to show it to Jaehyuk "Promise?" Jaehyuk smiled and intertwined his pinky on Asahi's pinky "I promise" The rhythm of their hearts pounded in synchrony as their foreheads brushed one other. You can tell that they both genuinely love one another and that they would give their lives to maintain the relationship they currently have. No one can knock down the intramuros they built or the life they lived, even though their safety is currently in jeopardy.

Asahi sat down on the bed and began to worry about what might occur to him at this very moment. Jaehyuk is relaxing in the living room while watching a show, but Asahi was quite interested in learning what kind of risk he would encounter in the future. What are the potential outcomes? Will he pass away? Will he be apprehended? He is unsure which one, but Jaehyuk doesn't want to tell him because he is so convinced that he was keeping something from him. He must search for it on his own.
