My Lover ~ Jeonghcheol Of Seventeen

Together with you

Suddenly the air was hefty an unknown suffocation arose after a loud noise echoed in the room. With sense of resignation Han saw Cheol open the door, uncertainties were ringing in his head due to the unforeseen presence of a man in uniform at the doorway, "Kim Sangmin" his demeanour was defiantly wary.

A flicker of discomfort stroked in Han's chest on Sangmin's irreverent question. However, there was more to come and his heart sank the moment Sangmin broke the news of Soohyun being gravely attacked.

Han looked at Cheol, who was looking defeated. Han rushed towards him, he was careful towards his lover he wrapped his arms around him safely, no matter how much he hated Soohyun but he knew he was once a dear part of Cheol's past.

Before Han could process more, he saw Sangmin invaded their safe space, his eyes widened in disbelief. Sangmin rolled his eyes and walked into the cottage and muttered.

Sangmin- Spare me with this drama but I don't have all day for this. (He wore a cunning grin on his face and crossed the living room.)

Cheol looked upwards the leniency flew overhead on each step Sangmin was taking freely and each word he was muttering with bitterness. Sangmin's behaviour woke Cheol's anger, he unlinked himself from Han's cosy hold in urgency.

Cheol- how dare you entered my house? (his temper sparked as he spat as his clenched jaw, his voice mixed with anger and pain)

Despite Cheol's fierce words Sangmin behaved completely as blatant. His words did nothing for Sangmin's constant demeanour. Cheol almost fleet towards Sangmin but stopped at midway as he saw where Sangmin's eyes was stuck.

Sangmin who keep wandering his eyes into the cottage as he breathed in, he sensed a damp, sickly salty aroma of sea arose from the window, as he followed the scent and spoke.

Sangmin- as I mentioned before I don't have all day for this. So where were you last night Mr. Choi when this attack happened? (He stated rudely, when he saw the shattered pieces of wine glass on the floor and the stains of wine which looked precisely alike blood stains. He trailed down his palm on the table next to the window where he saw another glass of wine and studied his finger tips for dust then his eyes pierced back on Cheol)

Cheol felt a stab of vulnerability though he must endure it for the sake of which is yet to come. He took fierce steps forward and faced Sangmin.

Cheol- how could you? (he retorted back) there has been an attack on someone and you are here asking absurd questions. (his temper and sorrow sparked in his words)

Sangmin- your temper isn't going to help the situation. (he replied in stern voice) I know very well that there is been an attack on someone and that's the reason, I'm here. (he said aloud)

Han- and how come you get authority to break into someone's house and harass them for nothing. (he snapped)

Han's presence hook curiosity in Sangmin's glare. He dared Cheol's watch and peered towards Han with a little too intensely.

Sangmin- Oh mind me please, but with the crime so instance, I bet authority or not, no one could critic my actions. Afterall Justice must prevail no matter how. (he smirked)

Cheol knew complexity of the situation the moment he sensed the attack on Soohyun and Sangmin's abrupt presence was not any coincidence. But then again, his heart leaped as he felt Han being roped in amidst of chaos with him, the one who he cherished more than his own existence, his eyes shone with protectiveness for Han.

Cheol- It isn't about that, (he paused) it isn't about Soohyun, and it won't stop here, either. (irritation flared into his eyes, he spoke with determination) I should have known this from the beginning. (He stood like a thunderstorm his voice roamed like crash of light.)

Cheol caught a shock register on Sangmin's face a flicker of dread moved into his eyes and tension was palpable in the air. Sangmin's eyes darted from side to side.

Cheol was no a fool to grasped the situation where Sangmin was dragging him. To a certain mark he has learnt over the past months as his life been thrilling with buddle of unpleasant surprises and harrowed ever since he started receiving death threats. However, Han was unaware from any of this, he couldn't understand the depth of Cheol's words. He glanced at Cheol his eyes were anxious looking for answers.

Han- what's wrong Cheol? (He said quietly his words were coated in muddle emotions)

Cheol- (he turned towards him) There are few things you don't know about but trust me everything will be fine. Okay. (he stated softly, his voice was warm with affection)

Han let a minute to sank in and then gazed into Cheol's eyes with trust and nodded. Sangmin's brows narrowed slightly in alarm, but he kept his composure as he stood before Cheol's unwavering demeanour and interjects in between.

Sangmin- (he scoffed) Heavy words, I like people who challenged me, it will be fun. (He rubbed his temple playfully, a roguish grin spread on his face.) besides that, I don't like pointless hurdles into my work, hence I left with no other choice but now you have to come to the police station with me for further investigation. Both of you. (he added, his eyes grew darker)

Cheol glowered at Sangmin, it was clear his patience was thin despite the lot he faced these months, now his emotions were at peak swirling in a riotous storm of guilt wondering how he failed and now Han entrapped into this unfortunate circumstance because of him.

Cheol- let's keep this between us, (his tone was impatient and desperate) he had nothing to do with any of this. (he added)

Han's heart paced as he stood behind Cheol, annoyance washed over his muddled expression, annoyance for the choice his lover made, as Han could ever abandon Cheol at his utmost vulnerable time.

Han- what? (his eyebrow knot, as he faced Cheol) don't you even think of that, i'm not letting you go alone. (he murmured his voice trembling in worry)

Cheol- Han please. Try to understand. (He pleaded his voice filled with concern)

As whatever restored in future for both the lovers but one thing was certain was their love and trust for each other. Cheol's eyes were prayerful, staring at Han's eyes balnkly. Han showed the same smile as always. Cheol understood and said nothing more.

With the word of assurance for undying solidity one question was still unanswered, what truly happened with Soohyun. What his fate will be?
