Torment and Torture

VIII

Yoonbum sat up and rubbed his eyes. He was really tired, he hadn't slept in over 2 weeks now. The bags under his eyes were dark and heavy, only making himself look more vulnerable.

Sangwoo knocked on the door to find that Yoonbum hadn't got up from the position he left him in.

"You okay?"

Yoonbum was startled a little as he didn't hear Sangwoo come in. He bolted upright and turned to look at Sangwoo.

"I'm fine. Thank you." Yoonbum forced a smile and Sangwoo chuckled.

"You know, your smile is quite scary sometimes."

Yoonbum found this quite funny considering that Sangwoo had been the most scary out of both of them since he became trapped in Sangwoo's apartment.

"Really?"

"Yeah. It's like you want to kill me or something."

Yoonbum didn't want to kill Sangwoo, he loved him. Sangwoo on the other hand, Yoonbum wasn't so sure of the way Sangwoo felt. He said he loved him, but he didn't know if it was all an act just to get sex.

Yoonbum hated the internal torment he suffered. He hated that he couldn't show Sangwoo how much he loved him. He wanted to know how Sangwoo felt, he wanted to know him more.

And that's when Yoonbum asked the question.

"S-Sangwoo...do you love me?"
