punish me [rochan]

twelfth punishment

Chanhee and Rowoon's relationship was still pretty tensed up even after what they did the night before, in which Rowoon took out his anger on the boy.

Chanhee hoped his lover would get over his bad mood soon.

He was laying on Rowoon's bed as the tall male immersed himself in his scripts that were seemingly endless.Hearing the bedsheets rustling, Rowoon looked over his shoulder and stared at the messy state the boy was in.His neck was covered with red bruises, his hair was all over the place and in his eyes could be seen tears that were threatening to come out.

Rowoon felt his heart break a little at the sight but he turned around and gulped.Chanhee looked down in disappointment and fiddled with his shaky fingers.

"I don't understand why you're acting like this..I know you're tired from working and you want to be alone but the way you're closing off around me.." Chanhee trailed off, sobbing, as tears rolled down his cheeks.

Rowoon clenched his jaw and stood up, getting dangerously close to Chanhee who flinched when his lover leaned over his neck.

"I love you but I think we should take a break, Chani." Rowoon murmured, stroking the boy's neck.

Chanhee looked into his dark eyes, utterly shocked.

"W-Why?..Did I..do something wrong..?" his voice came out in a shaky whisper.

Rowoon simply sighed and averted his eyes.

"I need some time alone.Just until I clear up my head." he said bluntly.

"F-Fine..If it's going to help, I'll leave you alone." Chanhee held back a sob and quickly dressed up.

Rowoon gritted his teeth, feeling mad at himself for acting so strange lately.

Chanhee sighed heavily and bent down to Rowoon's level, cupping his face and kissed his lips slowly and softly.Rowoon had to hold back from taking the younger into his arms as he gently returned the kiss.

"This is not a breakup, Chani.It will never be."

"I know..Just..if you need me, I'm here." Chanhee whispered and stepped out of the room, leaving Rowoon alone in his swirling thoughts.

He certainly didn't mean to hurt Chanhee in any way.He had the bad habit of distancing himself from those he loved the most during hard times.Exhaustion and work played a huge role in their once unbreakable relationship.He regretted making Chanhee feel upset.

"I'll fix everything up.Just wait a bit, Chani." he mumbled to himself, looking at his bracelet.

--------

Chanhee was walking in the park, hands in his pockets as his mind was all over the place.

Despite the late hour, he refused to go back to the dorms since he still felt unsettled.Taking a deep breath of fresh air, he closed his eyes and sat down on a bench under a massive tree.

He thought nothing else could go wrong but..

"What a surprise to see you here."

He opened his eyes to find the bartender he flirted with at the bar.

The taller sat down and scooted closer to the younger who looked disturbed.

"Hi.." he responded, not feeling the vibration of his phone.

The bartender's eyes glimmered with mischief, truly satisfied with how fate made them meet once again.

"Isn't it too late to be here?"

Chanhee sighed in exasperation and stood up.

"Now that I think about it, it is.My boyfriend is waiting for me." he spoke, poker-faced as he started walking away only to be engulfed into a side hug.

"How about I walk you home?"

Chanhee detached himself from the young male and frowned.

"There's no need.Like I told you, I already have a boyfriend so forget about what happened at the bar.I was drunk."

The bartender paid no mind to what he said and wrapped his arm around the boy's shoulders.

"Stop being so salty, midget.I'll just walk you home."

As the taller kept asking questions, Chanhee became unaware of his phone that was flooded with calls and messages from Rowoon, and didn't feel his bracelet slipping off his hand.

After some time of walking, they were standing in front of the building that Chanhee lived in.

"What a huge ass building."

"I'm going to leave now."

Chanhee got pulled back almost immediately.He raised an eyebrow when the taller pulled down his mask.

"Time to resume our kiss."

Chanhee widened his eyes when his lips got captured by a complete stranger.He simply froze on the spot as the bartender slowly pulled back and smirked.

Chanhee broke free and ran inside, unaware of the poker-faced Rowoon who was watching the scene from the window.

Calming down, Chanhee tried to enter his room but was pulled inside Rowoon's room with great force.His back was slammed against the door and his hands were pinned, leaving him completely powerless.

Their eyes met and Chanhee shivered.

"Ro..woon?"

Rowoon tightened his grip around the boy's wrists and his frown deepened when he couldn't feel the bracelet.

"I see..I let you go for some time and you're quick to find distractions."

Chanhee felt his entire world crumble, getting anxious the more they held eye contact.He wondered if Rowoon saw something.

"Is he a good kisser, Chani?" his voice came out cold and harsh, making Chanhee shrink.

"H-He was the one who k-kissed me.I didn't do anything.."

"Exactly.You just allowed him to kiss you." Rowoon clenched his jaw and released the younger, stepping away from him as he pulled up his sleeve.

"..And since you aren't wearing your bracelet anymore, I don't see why I have to do it."

Chanhee watched in horror as Rowoon took off his bracelet and threw it in the trashcan, completely taken aback by his actions.He quickly looked at his wrist and saw no trace of his bracelet.His heart started beating loudly in his chest as he panicked.

"No, no..this can't be..I couldn't have lost it.." he ran his hands through his hair, overwhelmed by the situation.

Rowoon took his jacket and attempted to leave but Chanhee desperately clutched his hand, stopping him in his tracks.

"Rowoon please listen to me! I swear I have nothing to do with that guy! He kissed me all of a sudden and I couldn't react! A-And the bracelet, I lost it.I don't know how.Please don't leave me like this.You know I couldn't-"

Rowoon pulled his hand back and simply walked away, leaving Chanhee alone.

The boy fell to his knees in desperation, hot tears staining his cheeks as the pain he was feeling got too unbearable to handle.

"What the hell am I supposed to do now?.." he cried out.

A/N well, the past chapters have been quite angsty so I'm sorry..I'm not a big fan of angst but it will get better, I promise.Also, please ignore the shitty quality of this chapter.
