Shining in Armour

II

Please read note at the end thanks :D

Over the span of three weeks Jae and Woosung's friendship grew more and more, Jae would visit Woosung everyday, sometimes with things from outside like fun games or cool objects, but Woosung's most favourite thing was when Jae brought a guitar, he didn't know how to play but he was learning, Jae was teaching him, he loved playing the guitar and singing because it felt natural and he would go off into his own world where it was just him and the music, it was peaceful, he couldn't keep the guitar because if his father ever saw it he would know someone had been up the tower, so Jae took it back home with him and brought it back whenever he could although it is kind of hard to sneak around the castle while holding a guitar.

One day Jae woke up, he looked out of his window and the sky was a gloomy gray, he could tell today was not gonna be a good day, but he didn't let it bother him because he knew Woosung would brighten his day with a his radiant smile and pearly white teeth, his beautiful eyes and his wonderful personality, Woosung could brighten a room as soon as he walks through the door. However when he reached the tower and went inside he wasn't expecting to see Woosung laid on the bed with his face in his pillow, his body trembling as he seemed to be crying. Jae sat on the other side of the bed next to Woosung, he rubbed his back gently with his hand. ''What's wrong, did something happen?'' he said sympathetically.

Woosung didn't reply he just turned away from Jae, he didn't want anyone to see him like this especially Jae, he buried his face further into his pillow to hide his puffy eyes. Jae gently grabbed his shoulder and turned Woosung so he was facing him. ''Please tell me what happened, I don't like seeing you upset like this.'' Woosung slowly removed the pillow from his face and Jae almost gasped in shock, underneath Woosungs right eye on his cheek was a large purple bruise.

Jae gently grabbed Woosung's chin and forced him to look him in the eyes, it was hard for Woosung not to blush, he slowly examined the bruise and checked over Woosung to see if there was anymore, there was one on his side of his stomach but that was all. Jae suddenly had a serious face. ''Who did this?'' he wasted no time in asking, Woosung just shook his head. ''It's nothing, really.'' he tried to reassure him but Jae wasn't having any of it. ''Woosung have you seen this how can you tell me its nothing, it's clearly something! So tell me, who did this to you!'' he snapped, Woosung flinched a little before stuttering out. ''M-my f-f-father.'' he said quietly, the tears rolling down from his sparkling eyes made it hard to say anything.

Jae just pulled Woosung into a tight, warm hug, Woosung was hesitant at first but then leaned into the comfort from the other, he leaned his head against jae's chest and they just sat there in peace with no disturbances. After a while they pulled away. ''I hate that this happened to you, i want to protect you.'' Jae said with his head down, Woosung lifted his head and looked into his eyes. ''You are protecting me, maybe not physically but you make me feel safe when im with you.'' Neither of them looked away, the moment was like a dream becoming reality.

''I swear i wont let this happen again, i promise.'' Jae tried to reasure Woosung. ''Dont make promises you cant keep Jae.'' Jae thought for a moment. ''Wait...Just come with me.'' Woosung was confused. ''What do you mean.'' Jae rolled his eyes sarcastically. ''come with me, escape this tower, I'll help you, please Woosung if you stay this will happen again, and i dont want that so please...come with me.'' Woosung was shocked to say the least, he had only known Jae for a few weeks but he felt that he could trust him and that Jae wouldn't abondon him like everyone else did.

''I dont know jae, what will we do when they come up here to find me gone.'' He said. ''Well run away, really far in the night while everyone is sleeping, it'll be just you and me, what do you say?'' Woosung thought about what he would be leaving behind, which was nothing much except his room. ''It's okay as long as you're with me, I'll look after you, i wont let anything happen...trust me'' Woosung was a little scared but soon got over his fears. ''Okay lets do it, when will we leave?'' he asked. ''Tonight while everyone is sleeping, I'll come get you so be ready, okay?'' Woosung firmly nodded.
