Chapter12

They somehow ended up at Lucas' house. Both of them sat down on the couch while Renjun straddled Lucas' laps. Now, they were panting and staring into each other's eyes. The smaller boy's lips were red from all the kissing and his neck bruised with hickey. Lucas thought he looked absolutely stunning.

A tune broke them out of their daze. It was Lucas' phone and he fished it out of his pocket.

"Shit, i have to take this. Please wait here"

Renjun moved from Lucas' lap after receiving a kiss on the forehead. He swiped the 'answer' button and disappeared into the back. Renjun looked around the large living room. He would be living here soon and it was weird because this was so much different from his home.

He stood up and looked around, inspecting each painting closely. The colour consist mostly of red. He continued to look around more. The furniture were sleek and modern. He felt like a creep sneaking around the house.

Just because they were kissing now doesn't mean he wasn't cautious of Lucas anymore. The almost empty and quiet house was creepier than Lucas and it suited him. He walked upstairs into a room. It was full of bookshelves. Heaven.

But what caught Renjun's attention was the record player in the middle of the room and there was a vinyl by it. Both of them looked pretty old and the Vinyl was of Elvis Presley. He brushed it softly with his fingers and hummed the familiar tunes of 'can't help falling in love' under his breath.

He left the room and the room across the hall was the bedroom. More paintings in red, covered the walls and Renjun made it downstairs again. Still humming the tune as he lightly stepped around the house.

Renjun entered what he assumed was the dining room. A big chandelier and more paintings. He could hear harsh whispering from the kitchen through the crack of the door. It was Lucas and he sounded mad?

Curiosity got ahead of him and he leaned his ear near the crack of the door.

"You couldn't even handle a simple task and you even almost exposed yourself-"

Renjun frowned and listened closely.

"How useless can you be? I had to take care of that Jaemin kid myself too-"

Renjun audibly gasped at the familiar name. Take care? What does he mean by 'take care'?

He noticed that Lucas stopped talking then he heard the quiet "I'll call you back later"

Renjun quickly made his way back to the couch and sat down. His hands were shaking. Wait, what the fuck am i doing? I should go-

Before he could even get a step away from the couch, a strong hand encased around his wrist. Renjun nearly jumped out of skin at the sudden contact. His face paled as he looked back to see an amused Lucas.

"Why are you looking at me like you'd seen a psycopath?"

Lucas said it so nonchalantly. A smirk was apparent on his lips but Renjun remained pale and stunned. The taller burst out laughing. His laugh booming through the whole house. The laugh didn't feel warm like it usually did but instead it felt chilling and the hand around his wrist tightened.

"I was just kidding. You should've seen your face"

Lucas just couldn't stop laughing. It started to annoy Renjun.

"I have to go now. Its late"

The taller suddenly stopped laughing and stood up to his full height.

"Wanna drink something? I have cocoa"

He dragged renjun towards the dining room rather harshly, completely ignoring his previous statement.

"No, i have to go home. Let me go-"

Renjun was suddenly slammed against the wall. A hand gripped his shoulder and pinned him onto the wall. Lucas visibly twitched as he tried to contain his anger. His face was red and veins were popping on his neck. But Renjun didn't back down as he glared straight into Lucas' eyes, who towered over him.

"I know what you're up to, you piece of shit"

Renjun spat as venomously as he could but Lucas only snorted and muttered 'cute'.

"Go sit down. I'll make you a cup of cocoa to calm your nerves, you angry baby"

"No! what the fuck is wrong with-"

Renjun gasped and squeezed his eyes shut at the sight of Lucas pulling a knife out. He finally opened his eyes to see the knife stabbed into the wooden table. His vision began to blur with unshed tears and his breathing was erratic.

"Baby, stop being a smart mouth and sit the down, okay?"

There was a strain in Lucas' voice and he was so close to snapping. Renjun couldn't do anything but nod slightly. Lucas began on the cocoa while Renjun sat down at the table. His body fidgeting as his knee bopped up and down.

Renjun quickly tried to think of an escape plan. Running right now wouldn't help either, Lucas was twice his size and his long legs can easily reach him. His eyes landed on the knife stabbed into the table. It was a shiny kitchen knife and his eyes landed again on Lucas' broad back.

His breath caught in his throat when Lucas turned around with two steaming porcelain mugs. He placed one in front of Renjun. He looked into the mug to see the brown liquid that was probably spiked. Renjun really considered drinking it and dying but he was sure the poison wasn't strong enough to kill. Lucas wouldn't kill him.

The taller stood and watched Renjun with a stupid grin on his stupid face. The boy didn't break eye contact as he knocked the mug off the table. The mug collided with the marble floor and shattered into pieces, brown liquid staining the floor.

"Oops"
