I'm In Trouble

Clip 14

Minhyun sat there blankly, feeling nothing but pain and his heart racing even after he was finally given permission to ejaculate after being bitten in the area between his member and thigh. He never expected Baekho to bite there. It hurt a lot, almost like taking a hit to his dick straight on but he guessed he had to count his blessings since Baekho didn't bite his member instead. Baekho came out from the shower with clothes on and a towel still being ruffled through his hair.

"You don't look well," Baekho said with a chuckle.

"Mmm...," Minhyun muttered his response as Baekho sat down on his chair and rolled himself towards the desk where his water was. He took a sip and watched Minhyun who really had become almost a completely different person. He sighed and pushed his hair away from his face again.

"Minhyun."

"Yes?" Minhyun looked up slightly, eyes distant and hollow.

"You alright? Need ice?"

"No, I'm fine. I hope... This makes you less angry at me," Minhyun said and Baekho raised his brows. He chuckled and sighed.

"What are you saying? I wasn't....angry. I was...worried and disappointed for the most part. I'll call us even for now. And... To make sure you stop charging into things blindly, I'll tell you what I'm investigating and the reason I approached you."

Minhyun was all ears immediately. Baekho rolled the bottle in his hands.

"You almost got it right the first time. I was hoping to get close to you so I could approach your acquaintances better. Sex wasn't exactly on my agenda but as you guessed, I had in fact fallen for your charismatic on stage persona by then. I've never slept with anyone else before that to get information."

"Are you serious?" Minhyun blurted out in disbelief since he thought Baekho must have had done it before. He was great in bed after all.

"Yeah. It just...felt too natural with you. It was almost intoxicating. Dangerous. Definitely dangerous. Even though I knew that you didn't care for one night stands, I found myself wishing you did and when I woke up the next morning, as if my prayer had been heard, you... Well, we know what happened but it definitely didn't go as planned. I got scared that you would leave but I was also afraid that you would get hurt. This...case I'm chasing... To answer your previous question, my parents were involved in an accident."

Minhyun gasped softly. So he had guessed right. Combining what Jonghyun had said about an accident and how Baekho had been fixated about the loss of his parents and everything, he had just clicked the two together.

"Sure, we can call it an accident but I believe it was planned," Baekho continued. "I was going after you so I could get to Jonghyun who is actually friends with the tattoo shop owner, Aron who is also the only witness to the accident as stated in the papers."

"What? Aron witnessed the accident?"

"That's what I would like it to be but I can't help to feel that his involvement was deeper. How exactly did my parents die? Was it really a car accident? I didn't trust the news. My parents were both excellent drivers and the car they were in wasn't even theirs but people kept telling me things like this happens but my gut told me it was all wrong. What were doing in front of Aron's tattoo shop at that hour? It was 3am! The hour, the car crash, it was just all too weird to me."

Minhyun rubbed his thumbs together as he silently thought things through himself. "And what of Choi corporate? How does that company come into play? And Jonghyun too."

"My parents both worked there. They always told me to be careful of anyone from there but they didn't tell me why. I just have this gut feeling that my parents found out something and were killed to keep their mouths shut," Baekho said and breathed out in relief that he finally told someone about how he felt after bubbling it all up ever since he heard of his parents' death. No one believed him after all. He was just a 'kid' in all the adults' eyes and nobody wanted to pay him any attention. That's why he didn't have a choice but to move out on his own and run his own private investigations. "I've seen Jonghyun come in and out from the tattoo shop several times. They're either friends or Jonghyun knows something."

"And I'm ruining your chances at talking to them.... I'm sorry," Minhyun apologised and bowed his head low. He didn't know how to make up for it even more now. He really was selfish and a complete idiot.

"It's fine. I probably wouldn't have fared better myself," Baekho said honestly. "You said you went to Aron's, right? Did anything happen?"

"I don't know if its of any help but he became defensive when I asked him about an accident. He said it wasn't his fault and that people die. I...got chased out after that," Minhyun explained and Baekho laughed to his surprise.

"Chasing a pop star out. I would've never imagined that."

"Hey. You chased me out before too."

"Oh shit, you're right."

"Also Jonghyun kept warning me not to keep pursuing this. He said I would regret it."

"It's also why I wanted you to stop. Maybe I'm just chasing nothing but what if these people are really capable of pulling such a stunt? You would be in danger just because... You wanted to.... Its awkward to say it myself but to be by my side. I couldn't help thinking about that so I... Just kept trying to push you away but you just kept going and it frightened me. That's why I texted you to come over. It was the only way I knew you were still alive."

Minhyun felt his heart melt and tears unintentionally rolled down his cheeks. "I'm really sorry. I can't apologise enough. You were just looking out for me but I ignored all of that and only thought about myself. You were right about me being selfish and stubborn. I'm so sorry. I'll be better, I promise. I'll try to change."

Baekho got up and went over to Minhyun, embracing him tightly. Minhyun held onto him and sobbed into his shoulders. Baekho patted his head and pursed his lips.

"Another thing I should mention to you."
