The King and The Peasant

Always

It's almost midnight and Daniel is still not home. Sungwoon feels anxious in this big penthouse, even if he's been here for a couple days, it's nice and big but it doesn't feel homey at all as Sungwoon hugs himself. Seungwoo already went home and leaves him alone, he said that he can use anything in this penthouse and he warned Sungwoon to not leave this penthouse. But what can Sungwoon possibly do in here?

This living room has big TV and nice sofa but Sungwoon rarely watches TV. He wants to take a rest in the bedroom but it's only gives Sungwoon unpleasant memory of how Daniel always helps him to put ointment to his rectum. He wants to apply it by himself but if he refuses Daniel, he would do it by force and it would just hurt Sungwoon more. Sungwoon shakes his head to clear his mind. The bed is also big and somehow it's scare Sungwoon, to just lay down in a big bed alone.

The exit door is just right on Sungwoon's right. He could just runs away from here, no one here. Sungwoon stands in front of this wooden door. The door that he could just open and leaves from here, from Daniel, as Sungwoon grabs the doorknob with his shaking hand. Just another click by his thumbs the door would open.

But where should he go after this door is opened?

His apartment is already under Daniel's name.

He could just run away to his hometown again but he doesn't have any money.

More over his grandfather is still in hospital. Running away is not an option for Sungwoon. It will only worsen the situation. Daniel already takes control of all his life as Sungwoon rests his head on his hand on the doorknob. A simple task like open this door is a hard to do and he starts to sobs.

Sungwoon walks to the kitchen just next to the living as he wipes his tears. The utensils look so nice and expensive, it's like a kitchen from a drama comes to life. It must be nice to cook in this kitchen but he needs to practice how to turn on the stove and stuff first.

He looks around, the nice entry room with all nice shoes, to the living room with big TV and nice sofa, the luxury glasses veranda, nice minimalist bedroom, with this modern kitchen. This big and luxury penthouse lived by only one person, Kang Daniel. With this fortune and wealth like this, even in the next life or even in his dream, Sungwoon can't have all of this.

Nothing can Sungwoon do in this apartment as he sits on the floor in the kitchen as he buries his face against his knees, drowning in his own mind.

His feeling for Daniel and his worries for his grandfather but what consumes most of his mind is only Kang Daniel.

Sungwoon tightens his own hugs and clenches on his arms. The day when Daniel raped him, he shouldn't have said it to him about he just played him. He just vented his anger to Daniel. Yes, of course Sungwoon is angry to Daniel. Sungwoon misses him so much and when he knew that Mr. Lee was his subordinate who wants his land, he feels betrayed.

When Sungwoon's father suddenly collapsed, he wants to come to Daniel for help but Mr. Lee came to him and he said he can help Sungwoon will all his trouble but it comes with a price. He wants the land. The only thing that his grandfather has is only the land and he needs to sell it to him because he needs money for his grandfather's surgery.

The day at the hospital, when he met with Daniel again, he can feel how his heart still beats for him but his mind already corrupted by the anger. If that day he could just stay calm and talks to him nicely, Daniel wouldn't do this. Told him how he misses Daniel so much. Not only he hurts him self, he also hurts Daniel's feeling. Sungwoon tightens his grips on his arms. 

This is a punishment from God for hurting Daniel's feeling and Sungwoon deserves it. This pain and this wound, maybe Daniel feels the same pain in his heart, caused by his words.
