Torment and Torture

XXI

"Do you like being tied up?"

Sangwoo didn't say anything. He stayed completely silent.

"I said....do you like it!?"

Yoonbum glared down at the restricted Sangwoo with disgust. Only then did Yoonbum realise that everything Sangwoo did to him, all of the torture and torment was complete and utter abuse. It wasn't love. He didn't love him.

"You fooled me. You made me think that you loved me. Even after you knew how I felt about you! Why?!"

Sangwoo didn't say anything. He stared at the floor with his cheek against the floor.

"You're not going to answer me?"

Sangwoo was still silent.

"I'm leaving. I don't care what you want. You never loved me anyway."

Yoonbum walked up the basement stairs and put his clothes back on. He opened the front door and was about the step outside when he heard his name.

"Yoonbum!"

Yoonbum turned his head and found the naked, tied up Sangwoo on all fours in front of him.

"Don't go."

"I told you. I don't care what you want."

"I know I haven't shown you enough love...but I promise that I will!"

"I'm not believing any of your bullshit anymore. Goodbye, Sangwoo."

And with that, Yoonbum closed the door behind him and left. Sangwoo was left on the floor, blinking back his tears.

"Come....back...."
