his shield

023

this is jeonghan and yeri and they are about to have sex right in front of me.

i cringe and turn around but then i hear someone call out from the other side of the door.

"yeri darling" a male voice calls.

wait, does yeri already have someone she loves? is she having an affair with jeonghan?

"you have to leave" the girl suddenly whispers and jeonghan pushes himself away from her in a hurry.

i turn and look to see yeri fixing her hair and dress and jeonghan hurried back into his shirt.

"the window" yeri unlatches it and pushes it open.

"who's in there?" the male voice calls out.

"no one sweetie. just wait a moment, i'm getting dressed" she try's to delay him as jeonghan puts his shoes on.

"oh come on, it's not like it's nothing i haven't seen before" i can hear the smirk in his voice.

yeri doesn't say anything and practically pushes jeonghan out the window.

"are you going to the party tomorrow?" he asks quietly and she looks at the door before nodding.

he smiles at her and waves. she grins and closes the window just as the door opens.

jeonghan has disappeared from sight by the time the young man enters.

he is taller then jeonghan and also has long hair except his is as black as the night.

"i swear i could hear another voice in here" he looks concerned and heads for the window but yeri places her hands on his chest and stops him.

"it's just me, ren darling. no one else is here" she smiles sweetly at him.

he gently grabs her hands in his and kisses her forehead.

suddenly this scene before me fades and the light which returns is a whole different setting.

i can see jeonghan seated before a fire. he has a thin blanket over his shoulders and a horse tied up to a tree behind him.

he rubs his hands together and keeps looking around as though he were expecting someone else to come.

i hear the approaching hooves before i see the horse and it's rider.

a tall figure is seated on the horse, long dark hair visible over the cloak. the horse is as dark as the hair.

jeonghan smiles when he sees the man dismounting the horse. it's the man who was with yeri in the previous vision.

"ren ah. you certainly took your time" he chuckles as the young man takes a seat beside him.

"sorry, i had things to do with yeri before i could leave" ren speaks her name with pride.

jeonghan's expression does not change at the mentioning of her name. i suppose he would be used to acting.

"only a couple of weeks and we will be married" ren sighs and clasps his hands together before him.

"and i will be standing right beside you to support you the whole time" jeonghan sends the man a grin which is one that a long term friend gives when he is genuinely happy for the other.

oh god.
he is having an affair with his best friends betrothed.

"i appreciate you be so supporting of us, jeonghan. i know you used to like her. i am really grateful that you are so happy for me" ren pats his friends shoulder and i cannot help but feel bad for him.
