Married

22. Ken

(Ken's POV)

When I heard about Wonsik's marriage to this Hakyeon guy I run to find Taekwoon-ssi...

I am not a saint and my youth years were not honourable at all... During those days I did met a young Cha Hakyeon... and he knew about me and Wonsik... and he was terrifying to me...

- You have to do something to stop it. He doesn't even like that guy, he only has eyes for you. – I said to Taekwoon.

- Why should I care?

- B-but, you don't understand... he's nothing like you... He would not just forbid him from seeing me but... I'm pretty sure he would make me disappear in a more effective way. I'm scared, hyung...

- It's none of my business. He is not mine to decide, he's my "ex", it means he's no longer my problem.

He said that but... later he sent Han Sanghyuk.

- He told me to take care of you. So don't freak out, now you'll be protected. – the young man said.

I was so touched that I hugged him. The young boy looked more than surprised and he blushed as I smiled at him.

He's used to deal with people like Taekwoon and all the suited guys... but somehow I feel like I can trust him.

- I'm sorry about the role I played in hurting Taekwoon hyung... - I said.

- It's fine. You were just that bastard's whore, he used you as well.

His words were not nice. He had no fear in saying the ugly truth...

- You... you are so cute! – I said as I jumped to hug him again

I knew it bothered him a little but he didn't push me away. I liked him.

Mr. Cha was a bit scary... But since Wonsik married him, I was suddenly forced to obey and follow him around... He said he felt lonely... And before I got much time to think about it... I had him surrounding me with those arms and pulling my hair as he attacked me like a vampire would...

It was not a good day... Earlier I saw Sanghyuk... He was walking all happy with a clingy man on his arm. This time it was no other than Jaehwan, my boss' lover... So the one I thought was such a right man didn't just had an affair with Wonsik's husband but now he also took his lover? I hated to admit it but... a part of me really wanted him to stay alone if he was not going to be for me... But he looked happy just walking around with that boy... So when Mr.Cha made his move I just let him do as he pleased...

And somehow... as I saw how lonely he looked next to Wonsik and how his eyes sparkled when he came next to me... I just felt sympathy for him... and I gave into him...

Wonsik was my friend but... I was now his husband's lover...

But he just laughed and even looked happy. Because he didn't love Cha Hakyeon.

I tried to end things with Mr. Cha since I realized what I was doing was not good and I had no excuse. I was not like this!

But next thing I know... They were getting a divorce.

I am a bit worried about myself now. I don't know what to do if that guy comes looking for me...

I could see how Wonsik's marriage affected Taekwoon hyung and I hated it even more when he told me to take care of the bastard's whore... He said I should protect him so I got him an apartment and I looked after him.

He was... weird... I don't understand how could a man like this be so... giggly all the time?

He kept goofing around and even if I used a harsh tone on him, he would laugh it out.

There were some comments that made him angry and then he would totally change, he would make a serious face and just when you thought you could feel bad... he would act all annoyed and somehow he looked funny.

- Why are you laughing?! I said I'm maaaad~! – he yelled

- Hyung, your voice just cracked hahahaha

- Kekeke, you know... your laughter is cute – he said in a cute way.

- Ummm... Whatever. I'm not cute.

- Why are you set up on being boring? We could have fun together~

- Bitch stop! – I said as I slapped his hand away. – Listen, I am only spending this time with you because I have my orders to keep an eye on you. Because you said you were soooo scared. Because Kim Wonsik just threw you away and because I don't know what kind of past you have with that Cha guy...

- You are not nice. You are brutally honest. And you have no manners. We could be really good friends. I like you a lot.

- You are so weird! – I said and my voice cracked.

- Pfffttt. Hahahaha. Yes, I am. You are so mean~! Haha.

Somehow, I grew fond of him. The guy was a slut but... he was also a nice person. I think I might be the first person he's spent so much time together with and not fuck. I wonder if someone ever cared for him. I think I understand what Wonsik could have liked in his free attitude and energy but... there was also a hidden sadness inside him...

- I was young and stupid, just playing around. Making mistake after mistake and not blaming anyone else, I knew what I was doing, I'd rather get hurt than hurt anyone else. But... Wonsik suddenly came into my life and... after living years with no regrets, I regret 3 things: Not stopping Wonsik, hurting Taekwoon and... playing Hakyeon's game. That one was first. In fact, I think Hakyeon was the reason why I starting hating rich people and Taekwoon is the reason why I ... - he said with a serious and sad expression.

- Why are you telling me all these?

- Wonsik was good to me but... the moment he met Jung Taekwoon I disappeared for him. I became transparent. And I knew it. He was scared of accepting his role as heir and he used me to feel free and rebellious but in fact he was afraid of how happy he felt with someone like Taekwoon. Sanghyuk, we can't get in the way anymore... they are meant to be... Wonsik has changed...

- Taekwoonie has changed as well and why should I leave him now?! – I said but he interrupted me laying a kiss on my lips.

- Because... you only want to protect him... But you two are not –

I didn't let him finish his words as I walked away angrily.

Brainwashed, that's Kim Wonsik's doing, no doubt. Maybe this whole thing was his plan to get Taekwoon back and here I am wasting my time.

- Damn it!

I walked back into the apartment.

- You back~? – he said smiling.

- Keep those lips of yours away. Just so you know I'm not that kind of guy.

I felt sorry for him. Even though I wanted to run to my hyung and take him away from Wonsik, I couldn't let this man unattended. I guess I am the kind of guy who wants to protect... someone like him.
