Seoul's Prison

"Today's your release?" The officer stared at the inmate disgustingly, he never took a liking for the man. "Here, take your belongings, and don't let us see your face again." The man grabbed the bag before walking to the main gate. The first step outside felt different, the sun seemed brighter and sky clearer outside the barbed wire fence. The speckles of blood were stained onto his plain white shirt, as were his black pants. Somehow, the smell of alcohol and cigarettes still lingered on his clothing. The only difference now is that they're smaller on him from gaining muscle mass since his time in prison.

A few whistles cut his thoughts off by a tall guy leaning against his car waiting for him. "You're finally out." He muted a bit. "Son Chaeyoung is finally out of prison!" He cheered as he hugged the smaller man.

"You're talking as if you're my friend, Mr. Yoo." Chaeyoung chuckled, slipping under his arms. "Remember, you're the investigator who arrested me that night, sir." Their friendship blossomed while Chaeyoung was in prison. Jeongyeon always took time out of his day to visit and fill the emptiness. "But you know that I prefer you over everyone. Plus, I know you're a good person." He pointed his finger at his chest. "And, you are my friend."

Chaeyoung laughed. "Yea, a good person that beat his father. Are you sure I'm a good person?"

Jeongyeon frowned and held his shoulders tightly. "I believe in you. You're free now! You can find a part-time job and enroll in a university. But, you need to promise me you won't get involved in fights, please? You had four years to practice how to control your anger." Chaeyoung bit the inside of his lower lip, "I can't do that. They used to bully and beat me up there. I had to defend myself so they became like puppies in front of me. I'm sick of people looking down on me." He spat out. "But, I'll try to do my best."

Despite Chaeyoung's past, Jeongyeon always saw the good in his heart. He understood why he did what he did. So, he never judged his intentions. "Here let me drive you-" "-No, I want to walk around. I missed having freedom."

"Take care of yourself then." Jeongyeon smiled. "Remember, if you need anything just call me."

Chaeyoung hummed in response, walking away from four years of hell. The sight of the busy street and the noise that came from it brought him comfort. The slop the prison served had made him forget how good food can smell. He pushed his black hair back and straightened his clothes before pressing the doorbell. The door opened, a girl jumped into his arms hugging him tightly. Her outstanding beauty could sweep anyone off their feet. Her clear skin, big round black eyes, and soft plump lips. "You have no idea how much I missed you, Sohyun." Chaeyoung whispered, carrying her bridal style into the bedroom.

Chaeyoung admired Sohyun's body, he forgot how soft her skin was. Nothing changed, the way her lips moved in sync with his, her smile she reserved only for him. "I missed this." Sohyun caressed his arm. "You became muscular." He smiled shyly. "Being in solitary confinement made me work out all day. Now I'm strong, huh?" He topped her, boring into her eyes. "I love you, Kim Sohyun." Their moment stopped as the doorbell rang. Chaeyoung swung the door open seeing it was his best friend. "Bobby!~ Did Sohyun tell you that I'm here?"

It surprised Bobby to see his face, almost not recognizing it was his old friend. "Yea, she sent me a text. So, I came immediately." He smiles awkwardly, lying straight through his teeth. "When did you get released?"

"A few hours ago." Chaeyoung invited him, excitement shooting through the roof. He was happy to reunite with his pals.

"I see." Bobby covered his eyes. "Can you wear a shirt? Looking at you shirtless disgusts me." He joked, earning a punch on his shoulder. "I'm going to take a shower and leave. I need to face my parents." Chaeyoung patted Bobby's head and headed to the bathroom. Sohyun and Bobby smirked, staring at each other. The intensity grew as the two kept their hands off each other.
