Between Shadows: The Boy Who Found Heart in a Doctor's Heart.

Chapter Thirteen: Keep you warm

Vernon

His body trembled in my arms as I carried him, to the cottage,if I was walking alone I would never take a cart but for Seungkwan,I have to ,I would do anything.

" Kwannie want to take a bath..." Seungkwan said, scratching his skin as if scratching can make him feel better,I held his wrists,stopping him from hurting himself. But he fought me , taking his hands back but I held him close to me. " Don't hurt yourself,"I said, seeing him like this is tough, sunshine like him, he's the sunlight which can come out of the darkest place and still could shine better.

" I said don't hurt what's mine,Seungkwan."

" Your skin,"I soothe his skin on his neck, travelling my hands to his hair,I adjusted his head slowly so I could look in his  brown eyes,I kissed his cheeks," your hair, your eyes,your lips," I looked at him from up and down continuing my claiming on him.

" You as whole is mine,mine until you wants to be.. neither you are allowed to hurt yourself nor someone else, understand?" I said,my brows knitted together,I can repeat my claiming thousands time over, until each or every creatures on this planet knows that Seungkwan is mine,mine to touch,mine to protect,mine to take care of,mine to talk to and anyone who would hurt him,will die or loose his limbs there's no forgiveness.

" Kwannie under-under stood." He said,his voice trembled the same as his body,as I took back again my chest,the blood on my hands can be of three men or my brothers or my own but I didn't care, because I know Seungkwan didn't cared me touching him with dirty hands.

I adjusted him on my lap,his front pressed to mine,face buried in my chest,as I caressing his back and patted his head in between the ride,until we reached our cottage,I carried him inside the cottage, putting him in the bathtub,I sat out of it in the corner of bathroom,my eyes never leaving his face. " Now wash your as much you want but you are not allowed to hurt my skin." I said,he buried his face in his palm crying soundly,as he mumbled so many things I couldn't understand but as the person whose copying mechanism is hurting themselves, they can't fix it because I own it,he talked to himself, starting to scratch himself.

"Kwannie hate himself... Kwannie should have execpted his fate and stayed at where he was born." He screamed at himself, slapping himself as a tighten my grip,he extended his hands wanting to hold my face,I let him,he caressed his my cheeks.

" Your reputation is ruined now for associating yourself with Kwannie." He said, tearing up,a chuckle left my lips,I shook my head. "Associating with you can never ruin my reputation,I can't be ruined because I am with you, Seungkwan but everything in me would ruin if I am not with you."

" Now,wash yourself and come out," I turned out to go out to take his clothes,I wanted to buy him new ones but man does he look good in my and Maa's clothes.

" Don't go.." he said and I stopped in my way , leaning on door frame as he stripped naked, taking soap from counter and cleaning himself, calmly and not aggressively. When he was done,I turn on the shower and let all the blood from me wash away as he stand behind the door,with first aid kit, pacing as he told me to hurry up that Seokmin is here to tell something," your brother is looking like he is here to kill you." He said, peeking inside the bathroom,I tied bathrobe around me,as I take first aid kit from him.

He sat on bed as I attended his wound on collarbone, regretting why I hadn't broke the man's teeth but Seungkwan called me, breaking me from the thoughts of the man,who had hurted him. " Kwannie is fine now Vernon."

My name on his lips, sounds like a heaven to my ears,as he held my face in his small hands, looking down on me," now c'mon Seokmin had brought Bryn with him.. your hands are bleeding." Seungkwan said, pointing to my left hand which surely will need to get stitched now.

" Okay, let's go..see what scolding Seokmin had for me." I said taking Seungkwan's hand in my non injured hands,as we came out of room, Seokmin was sitting on my couch, looking angry as he stand up,he looked at my hand for a moment and signalled Bryn to stich them quickly.

" The man you beated was king's man and he lost his right hand,you injured him that badly, Vernon." He yelled at me, Seungkwan hide behind me as Bryn look at my hands and I sat on chair in the living room.

" Do you even know what he is doing?" I asked,I had banged Seokmin's head against the wall,his head has little bandage on the right side,but he didn't said anything." And speak slowly Seungkwan doesn't like loud voices,if you can't then there's a door." I said pointing out to the main door,I don't want to stand in his presence for more than moment,he reminds me all the time when instead of saving me from Sooyoung's and her gangs bullying,he stare at me.

Instead of telling her and others to stop pranking me or making fun of me ,he looked at me with empathy,I didn't wanted his empathy I wanted his love.

" He is King's man Vernon, you will have to face king's warth if three of them died. You could have just taken them off." He lowered his voice this time,he rubbed his temples and sighed loudly," don't go out too much,do what I said otherwise I have to force you." He said and left the room, shutting the door wih thud,I greeted my teeth as I tried to chase him.
Who he is to tell me what to do? And what not to do? I will do whatever I want.

" You will be fine.. King will not punish you, right?" Seungkwan asked,I don't know what will happen but I don't regret a inch of beating them,if the man had loosed his limbs then that's great, everyone should remember what happens to those who hurts Seungkwan.

" I will be fine.. don't worry, just sit here..then we eat and I have some talking to do with Jihoon,Chan and Wonwoo." I said, pulling Seungkwan on my lap as he wrapped his hands around my neck and listened to my heartbeat, it became his new habit now.

" Bryn when you go...tell Jihoon that I am calling three of them." I said,as I placed a kiss on his forehead, like I can't separate my mouth from his forehead.
