Paradise Lost - YongShin

That Fateful Closet Scene

"The problem with fate is that no matter how many times you call out to her, she has her own timing that's irrelevant to whatever anyone else happens to be doing"

Amy Neftzger

Yonghwa was walking through Shinhye's apartment restlessly while waiting for her to come back from her filming schedule. It was already past midnight when he finally heard her opening the front door.

He was trying to calm himself but it seemed like there was just no way of forgetting her latest kissing scene that aired only a couple of hours ago. He was so damn angry, he felt like beating up Lee Minho for what he did to his girlfriend.

When Shinhye entered the living room, she looked exhausted from her long day of work. As soon as she recognised Yonghwa, her face automatically light up, happy to see him. She hadn't expected to meet him tonight since he had an early flight in the morning. However, once she looked closer at him her smile automatically vanished. She sensed that there was something wrong with him in one short glance.

"Yong-ah" She called out his name worriedly, wondering what happened to him. No, he definitely didn't look alright...

Yonghwa was slowly moving towards Shinhye, still trying to figure out how to behave around her. He knew acting was her profession but this was just too much. It didn't look like acting at all to him. It felt like Lee Minho had just locked her up in that closet, enjoying kissing his girlfriend for real like there was no tomorrow while Shinhye actually responded to him. How could she? He had never seen her do anything like that in any of her other dramas before. He never thought she would go that far. It was definitely too much. What made him even more upset though was that he didn't understand how she could just let the incident slide while talking to him about her daily work. Did she not learn anything from their past arguments?

Really, he wanted to be calm and mature about what he just witnessed with Jonghyun and Jungshin. He wanted to understand what happened behind the scenes. Surely there had to be an explanation for it, at least that was what he kept telling himself when he was driving to her apartment at this hour despite having an early schedule tomorrow.

However that green monster in the depth of his stomach kept roaring like it was going insane at the mere sight of Shinhye, asking him how his very own girlfriend could open up to another guy like that – even if it was onscreen.

"What were you thinking, Shinhye-yah?" Yonghwa asked sternly, trying hard to keep his emotions in check. He just didn't get it. They had been arguing about skin ship these past few weeks, so how could she do this to him?

"What do you mean?" Shinhye replied confused. Just a couple of hours earlier everything seemed to be fine when they spoke on the phone. Now Yonghwa's dark aura was filling her living room. She didn't understand what changed after her filming break ended.

Yonghwa was minimising the space between them, causing her to subconsciously move backwards. Something was definitely off. He didn't look like himself at all. She had never heard this strange sound in his voice before.

"Yonghwa..." She started but stopped when her back slightly hit the wall.

He had closed the distance between them and was towering her now, caging her between his arms and the wall behind. His eyes where burning with conflicting emotions. She felt alerted, almost intimidated by his presence.

Just when she couldn't hold his gaze anymore he suddenly pulled her towards himself with one swift move, forcefully crashing his lips onto hers.

Shinhye gasped in shock, unable to even move a muscle. It wasn't a soft and tender or even passionate kiss that showed how much he loved her. It was a rather rough kiss, like someone was trying to mark his territory. She didn't like it. It reminded her of that terrible shooting day a while ago.
