In This Together ⛓️ {KhaiThird/SeanThird} -English Ver.

CHAPTER 9.

Even though Rome had been there for less than a month and a half, he was already aware of his entire situation. Tong was the master of his short eighteen years. His daily life was based on collaborating and complying with whatever he was ordered to do so that his humanity would not be compromised.

Every day he felt like walking on eggshells, not only because of the boss but also because of his doubles. White was the one who scared him the most, the boy with glasses hated him for no specific reason. He often made passive aggressive comments and tried to take advantage of everything.

His consolation was that it didn't bother him only but everyone in general. Above all, his other double, Third. He, like White, seemed to have something against him, but he was much more discreet. He pretended to speak to him politely and included him in daily activities; in fact, he didn't mess with him unless he was jealous.

Very noticeable jealousy thanks to Khai. His protector.

Since Rome came to that house, the only person he could put his hands on the fire for was Khai. He always took care of him from others, even the boss. Khai was very sweet to him and taught him many things so that he wouldn't be punished.

Therefore, having a problem with Khai alerted him.

Rome didn't want Tong to punish him for doing things wrong. The boss was in a terrible mood lately and he took it out on them, not even games seemed to please the scarred man.

He had to solve the problem before it was too late.

—Why the fuck aren't you moaning? — Tong scolded him and White took his face to kiss him.

—White, who told you to do that? — The boss approached them and grabbed his glasses double by the hair. Rome watched in horror as he hit him until tears came out while begging for mercy.

He began to pretend as he had been taught until the boss looked pleased and left. Third approached White who was crying on the floor and took him to heal him along with Pete.

Rome knew then that now that they were alone, he had the opportunity to ask to avoid being punished.

—Khai... excuse me — He took him by the arm when they got dressed — What did I do wrong? — He looked at him with confusion — It's that you...

— It's me, you didn't do anything wrong...

— Are you sure? — He asked scared. — I don't want the boss to get upset with me... I didn't move well or...

— Rome, I told you that you didn't do anything wrong, trust me. — Khai looked sad but still held his face gently and gave him a kiss on the forehead to calm him down. — Rome, can you keep my secret? — He nodded uncertainly. — Don't tell anyone... not even Third.

Being the only one who slept with Khai, surely only he knew. At first he thought it was his own idea, but it wasn't the first time it had happened to him.

Khai's problem started when a blond man came to visit unexpectedly. He introduced himself as Caesar and just wanted to play with his protector. They didn't understand the reason, but ever since he showed up, the boss's bad mood only increased with each passing day.

And so did his punishments.

Things like breathing differently infuriated his captor, which also affected their relationship. At the end of that week, Tong disciplined White for tripping and breaking a wine glass. Rome knew the same old fight was coming.

Once again, Third's jealousy would disturb their coexistence. That was the only thing Rome didn't understand, it was obvious that Khai only loved his boyfriend. Even if White tried to hit on him, Khai never disrespected his beloved.
