We were back to our mandatory positions, watching as guests came flooding in, scrutinising Hakyeon's displays. I wondered if they even knew about art in general, or if they just wanted to seem cultured and above everyone else.

"Hakyeon doesn't like this" I sighed as I watched his figure linger around, not knowing what to do.

"I don't like this" Hongbin responded.

I could tell Hakyeon was going to lose it any second when an older woman carefully examined Hongbin's clothing with her slender fingers. Hakyeon's teeth gritted as he bawled his fists at his side, trying to internalise his anger.

What made him so protective over Hongbin? Why didn't he like people near him?

Finally the crowd began to disperse and Hakyeon exhaled as he shut the door behind him. He immediately went around to straighten up some of the props and neaten up Hongbin's clothes.

"This is why I had you all in chambers" Hakyeon scoffed, "it's because people put their grimy hands all over you."

Hakyeon ran his fingers through his thick hair and took a seat on the window ledge. He honestly hasn't been looking good these days. His eyes had dark circles around them, his posture was weak, everything just seemed to have taken a toll on him.

"I hope you are not starting to feel sorry for him (y/n)" Hongbin murmured as I tried to rid my head of the possible suggestion.

Everyone had a story behind why they did the things they did. This is still completely wrong, but knowing the cause of it could possibly better the situation.

"I've worked so long to finally have you, and now I have to share you with not only with the public, but with her" Hakyeon hissed as his eyes darted towards me.

"What am I to do when I want you too huh?" he hissed, closing in on my face. "You ruined everything when you kissed me, but you love him don't you?"

Hakyeon stepped to the other side of the room and ran his fingers through Hongbin's hair, tugging on it lightly.

"And you" he continued, "you love her and I'm the bad guy in the middle aren't I?"

Hongbin kept his silence throughout Hakyeon's rage. I knew he had a better understanding about all of this and there was way more underlying history between these two.

"Well I'm off" Hakyeon exhaled, "hope you two have a lovely time without me."

Hongbin and I kept our silence until his departure and the chimes echoed throughout the building, releasing us from the curse.

"What was that all about?" I asked, taking a seat on his bed.

"Can we not talk about it" Hongbin murmured, as he placed his hand on my thigh.

"Stop, I want to know" I insisted as he brought himself closer to me and buried his head in the nape of my neck.

"It's nothing, he's just acting all crazy for nothing" he replied, placing soft kisses on my collarbone and moved his hands to my waist.

"Hongbin..." I groaned, pushing his body away from mine and folded my arms. "Tell me what happened."

Hongbin let out a frustrated groan but nodded his head in agreement. "Well I kind of knew Hakyeon way before, before all of this, we went to school together" he explained.

"He was always that weird kid at the back of the classroom and me and the other guys were the popular ones, that received all the attention" Hongbin grinned at the memory.

"Did you bully him?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"No no no" Hongbin quickly shook his head, "Ravi did kind of, I did tell him to stop though."

"Wow I never took you for a jerk" I chuckled, rolling my eyes.

"I was a nice guy, I helped him and then he does this to me."

"There's a missing link" I said as I pursed my lips, "he could of made all of you suffer, by why adorn you?"

"I dont know, but I still don't like the way he hangs around you" he grumbled, returning back to his tiny kisses on my skin.

"You're jealous of a man who wanted me dead because I am in love with you" I huffed, not realising the words flowing out of my mouth.

"You love me?" he cooed, biting down on his lower lip as he rested his forehead on mine.

"Don't make me say it again" I pouted, feeling my face burn up. I was never used to being love. I wasn't sure beforehand what being in love was like.

Hongbin grazed his thumb across my warm cheek and placed a soft kiss that still lingered on my lips after he pulled away.

"I love you too (y/n)."
