Kang came into Soobin's room banging things together in an effort to wake him up. Soobin groaned then glared at Kang.
"Scary... not! Get your sorry hide up. We're going to school." said Kang before letting his lackeys undo his restraints. "Are you excited to learn?"
"I'd rather bite my dick off you weirdo." Soobin spat as he struggled in their arms.
"That Yeonjun kid's rubbed off on ya hasn't he? Such sharp tongues you both have." said Kang before gasping. "Speak of the devil."
Soobin's eyes softened and filled with tears at the sight of Yeonjun. Kang gave Rin a nod and soon Soobin was released. He immediately dashed over to Yeonjun and gave him a tight hug.
"I missed you so much. Everything feels better by your side." muttered Soobin as he buried his face in Yeonjun's hair.
"You're getting dramatic. Anyway, we should get a move on. They probably have something in store if we continue to stall." replied Yeonjun as he let Soobin go.
Soon Soobin was being held once more and led to wherever the "school" was.
"Yeonjun, I can't help but applaud at your perceptiveness. You'd make a fine Lover. The only obstacle is getting you to believe it." said Kang before stopping at a door. "And we're here."
The duo were tossed in and left alone with their captors. Rin closed the door as Kang headed towards the front of the room.
"Welcome to Lovers' Education. Here, we'll teach you all you need to know about our wonderful organization!" said Kang enthusiastically. "Of course we're going to be strapping you down. Can't have you skipping out on class!"
Soon heavy weights were tied onto them making any form of escape futile. Rin joined him in the front of the room and handed out paper.
"Study these! It'll be on the test." said Rin. "Especially the mission statement."
Yeonjun read it over and nearly laughed. What kind of garbage were they trying to implant in their minds? Religion is a curse? Familial bond is the weakest bond? Love is just a made up social construct? He looked at Soobin who seemed to have his doubts too. Their mission statement was even more ridiculous. "Lovers exist to open humanity's eyes to the web of lies.". Yeonjun finally gave in and burst into laughter.
That earned him a whip on the back. He hissed as it stung greatly.
"Not so funny now is it?" said Rin with a stern voice.
"You know, we haven't seen your faces. Are you real people?" asked Soobin and earned himself a whipping.
"Anything unrelated to the lesson earns you useless fucks a whipping." spat Kang before turning back to his chipper self.
Yeonjun looked at Soobin then felt the whip land against his back again.
"Eyes up front, you ass." Rin said.
˚｡⋆ ⋆｡˚ ˚｡⋆ ⋆｡˚
Soobin lied on his stomach as their lesson had finally ended. His back burned from all of the whipping. He looked at Yeonjun who continyed to sit up straight. What was he looking at? He curiously looked and saw he was staring at the two up front.
"Dumb and dumber, get up off your stupid asses and sit in these seats." Kang shouted then covered his mouth. "Oh right, you can't."
"Can you stop with the insults? Doing that is making us like you even less than we already do!" Yeonjun shouted then earned himself multiple whips to his back.
"Jun sweetie, you know it's impolite to yell at your elders. Learn some fucking manners before I mercilessly shove it down your throat!" Kang shouted back angrily.
Rin looked at Kang then back at Yeonjun. He had almost added himself to his shit list. He could only hope he didn't. Kang wouldn't let him live. He couldn't help but notice how docile Soobin became when he was around Yeonjun. In fact, Soobin was terribly rebellious without him around. Sometimes it was hard controlling him.
"Maybe we should put them back in the same room. Look." whispered Rin as he gestured to Soobin.
Soobin softly purred as Yeonjun made attempts at stroking his hair. Kang hummed as he watched. Sure putting them together would make him docile again, but they were trying to raise fearless warriors, not pansies who wear skirts.
"We'll do it only if he gets too out of control." Kang finally replied. "You two! Eyes up front. The next lesson starts."
"We have names." Soobin said angrily.
"And we don't care." replied Rin before handing them more paper. "Now repeat this out loud ten times."
They each received a whipping if their voices were deemed not to be loud enough. They both started to become fearful that even the slightest difference in their breathing would result in a whipping. Yeonjun quietly glanced at Rin as they finished repeating.
"Hardly worth any praise. Do it again." said Rin without a hint of emotion.
Kang looked at Rin and couldn't help but chuckle. He was the worse out of the two of them, especially when something he disapproved of had to do with something he cared for.
˚｡⋆ ⋆｡˚ ˚｡⋆ ⋆｡˚
Rin walked behind as the two lackeys carried Yeonjun back to his room.
"Rin, let's go out tonight. Enjoy ourselves." said Kang happily.
"Not tonight. My vein is showing." replied Rin.
"Ah, one of those huh... Guess I'll stay and torment this one." replied Kang before entering Soobin's room.
Yeonjun weakly looked up from his spot on the floor as Rin walked over to him.
"Hope you both don't mind us spending our nights with you. Though, you won't be able to resist." said Rin as he looked Yeonjun over. "Barely passable..."
Yeonjun looked at him in confusion. Barely passable? What did he mean?
"What do you mean 'barely passable'? If you're talking about looks, I have plenty of it." complained Yeonjun as pain started to settle in.
"Sure, you may have looks, but that doesn't help your body now does it?" retorted Rin as he gestured.
"You... you sick people! Do you just go and rape anyone you deem passable!?" Yeonjun shouted as he tried cover his body.
Rin laughed loudly at Yeonjun's idiocy. Members of the organization rarely engaged in sexual activities with captives. He himself would rather go out and have a one night stand than get intimate with someone who may not live the next day. Though, he wouldn't deny the fact that Yeonjun's body was more than enough to satisfy him if given proper care.
"Please, you humor me. I simply meant new torture strategies to use on the next crop of people we decide to initiate." said Rin as he made his way back over to Yeonjun. "You wouldn't be able to satisfy me with that beaten body of yours anyway."
Yeonjun wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or upset. He looked at Rin who had his back to him. He wasn't angry, but he wasn't glad either. Neutral was probably best to describe his current state.
"You people are weird... what makes you so happy to do this to innocent people?" Yeonjun asked.
As expected Rin didn't give a response. He was more into his phone than him.
"Answer me. Why are you all doing this!?" Yeonjun asked in a raised voice.
Still no answer. Yeonjun's body relaxed as he let his head fall. He was angry, that much was true. Yet a new feeling had settled in without his knowledge: disappointment.
