Torment and Torture

XXXXIII

"Mnn ..." Yoonbum felt Seung-hee's soft lips against his and made a soft sound. He blushed and felt his body get hot, but Seung-hee stopped kissing him after a few moments. Yoonbum looked at him in confusion.
"Why did you stop ...?" Yoonbum asked.

"It isn't right. We don't know each other." Seung-hee replied.

Yoonbum blushed more and nodded. "I just thought that -"

"You thought wrong." Seung-hee interrupted, getting up and walking out the room, slamming the door behind him, feeling utterly embarrassed about what he just did ...

Yoonbum sat with his knees to his chest on the bed, tears welling up in his eyes as he stared at the door. It was for a brief moment that Yoonbum had though of something awful. Something that he hated himself for thinking of. Living with a monster for a long time had changed him, and his brief thought made him cry. For a moment, he thought of killing Seung-hee.

Seung-hee sank into the couch in the living room, the room dark. He sighed and rubbed his sore eyes before hearing Yoonbum stumble into the room ...

"Seung-hee ... "

"What?"

"Y-you and me ... we're murderers ... "

Seung-hee hated to be reminded of this and sunk to his knees on the floor, Yoonbum sitting a few feet away.

"Stop it ..."

"We killed him ... we killed Sangwoo ..."

"Shut up ..."

"We stabbed him ... right in the heart -"

"Shut up!!" Seung-hee slaps Yoonbum hard across the face while tears stream down his face. He had disappointed his deceased father. Even though he killed his father's murderer, the impending guilt on him made him feel like he was going insane.

Yoonbum whimpered in fear on the floor, but for some reason didn't feel too scared. He had, in fact, become accustomed to feeling frightened, and perhaps the reason he wanted to piss Seung-hee off was because he craved someone who treated him like this. He had turned Seung-hee into another version of Sangwoo ... and Seung-hee hated him for that ...

"Get out." Seung-hee commanded.

Yoonbum sat up and held his cheek. "What?"

"I said, get out." Seung-hee wiped his eyes. "You're going to drive me insane if you stay here."

"B-but where do I go?"

"Anywhere else. Go back to that psycho's house and quit trying to turn me into him."

Yoombum turned red and came closer to Seung-hee. "I'm sorry ... I didn't mean to make you mad."

"Yes you did. Leave."
