"Answer me, Soobin! What the hell have you done last night?!"

"It's my life! Do I have to report every single thing I did?"

"Tell me. You did something wrong, didn't you?"

The romantic atmosphere turned into a foul mood in the blink of an eye. Soobin knew Yeonjun was bound to find out someday, he just didn't expect it to be this soon. And now, his brain couldn't devise excuses quick enough to get rid of the older's suspicions.

"I didn't... do anything that you're thinking of right now"

"Is that right? If so then explain to me. What's the relationship between you and your boss? How did your necklace end up with him? And those marks on your neck... tell me everything"

But Soobin had nothing to tell. He was scared, the guilt eating him up from the inside. It would get really ugly if he told the truth, and well... he wasn't ready to face the consequences.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me... is my assumption correct?"

'Please don't let it be' Yeonjun hoped. He placed so much trust in the younger. Soobin wouldn't do anything like that to him, not his sweet and innocent Soobin, he would never. But why... why is there this heavy, unsettling lump in his chest?

"And if it's true..?" Soobin muttered quietly, his head facing the floor as he spoke.

That response was like a swift arrow, shattering every last bit of hope Yeonjun desperately held onto.

"That can't be... there's no way you'd ever do this to me, would you?" He still found it hard to believe, wishing all this was a prank and Soobin just wanted to get back at him for all the wrongs he did.

"Why not? In our agreement... you've never prohibited me not to sleep with anyone else. So..."

Soobin was digging his own grave deeper with each word he said, yet he couldn't stop it.

"You..!!" Flames engulfed every fiber of Yeonjun's being after hearing such mockery coming from someone he trusted so deeply. How did he turn out like this? Was it Yeonjun's fault at some point?

Unable to hold in his anger, Yeonjun violently grabbed a handful of Soobin's hair and yanked it backward, making him wail.

"You brazen little bitch, stop fucking with me! Tell me you didn't mean that, tell me you're joking! Tell me you'd never betray me!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I don't have it in me to lie to you anymore, hyung"

Slap!

Soobin's soft cheeks turn red in an instant with the force of the older's palm hitting him. It hurt a lot, but Yeonjun was hurting even more.

"Did you.. just hit me?" Soobin staggered.

Yeonjun didn't mean to. It was just too much to take. He never intended to hurt the younger this way and deep down, Soobin knew he very well deserved it.

"You're a disappointment" Yeonjun dragged Soobin aggressively by the hair to the kitchen and pushed him to lay on his back against the dining table.
