Dares and Heartbreaks: TaeJoo & KangGook

Chapter 11

"oh this the venue for my next class. I just wanted to come here and wait since I have nowhere else to go. I didn't know you guys are.. does Kang Gook know you are here hugging each other during lunch time in an empty class?" He asked as he sat on the desk near the door. Enjoying the panicked looks on their faces.

"it's not what it looks like Hyun" Lee Jun tried to appease the situation

"Hugging each other during lunch time in an empty classroom surely looks normal to me"

"Don't be sarcastic Pil Hyun I was thanking him for something"

"I think a simple handshake is the correct gesture" Pil Hyun kept on pushing

"I don't have time for this" Lee Jun said as he headed for the exit.

"Yeah, you only have time for hugging Tae Joo in an empty classroom during lunch." Lee Jun glared at Pil Hyun as he left the room.

Pil Hyun turned and faced Tae Joo.

"What if I want to be hugged too?" Pil Hyun asked approaching Tae Joo after making sure Lee Jun was gone.

"Look the only person I love and ever will is Gookkah. What you saw was a pure sign of appreciation." Tae Jo explained

"Well if you insist but just you know that Gookkah was going crazy looking for you. He couldn't eat properly because you were not there." Pil Hyun was enjoying this.

"I'm going to him now" Tae Joo said as he turned and faced the door.

"Does he love you back the way you love him, you don't have to put your life on the line for him you know?" Pil Hyun questioned. It was true that the love between the two was one he never saw before. 

"I'm sure he does"

Pil Hyun smirked and said "we will find out sooner or later"

He winked and sat down in his chair. Tae Joo just rolled his eyes and left the room annoyed.

When he got to the dining hall, he saw Kang Gook and went to him.

"Where have you been, I missed you, I didn't get to see you the whole of today" Kang Gook complained

"I missed you too" Tae Joo said nuzzling Kang Gook's neck and he chuckled pulling him close.

He was somehow still bothered by Pil Hyun's remarks, so he asked

"You love me, right?"

Tae Joo asked as he raised his head to face Kang Gook's face, "you can also put your life on the line for me right"

Kang Gook smiled and nodded his head, "I love you more than life itself."

Tae Joo smiled. Pil Hyun was wrong. He felt reassured.

Tae Joo is pulled from his thoughts when he heard his phone vibrating. Pulling it out of his pocket, he saw a text message from D. Opening it he read it forgetting that Kang Gook's head was next to his.

The message read

'whenever I text you I will expect a reply within 3 minutes, I will not call unless its urgent so make sure you make yourself available when I call or I will nullify the agreement and proceed to take action with the evidence I have against you'

Tae Joo's heart shattered into pieces thinking about this new setup. There was an unnerving feeling deep inside telling him the future was not bright.

"Who is D, what is this about JooJoo?"

"It's a spam message" Tae Joo said trying not to look suspicious,

"Lunch is almost over, I'm going to the bathroom then head to the class after. See you after school" Tae Joo said rushing to get away before three minutes were up to reply the message.

He pecked Kang Gook on the cheeks ran outside of the door. When he was clear from Gook's view, he took his phone and replied OK.

Before he had the chance to put his phone back in his pocket, he heard it vibrating again. He took it out and saw something disturbing.

The message read:

meet me in my office after school alone. make sure no one sees you on your way here.

After school Tae Joo, although he was dreading it, sneaked his way to the Dean's office making sure no one sees him on the way there.

He knocked on the door and heard a come in. He went in. The man was sitting in his office and when he saw Tae Joo coming in, he got up and started walking around his desk eying him like a predator eying its prey. Tae Joo stood still at the door and the man sat on the other side of the desk facing Tae Joo.

"come here" he instructed.

Tae Joo wasn't sure, but he approached the man anyway, he left a good amount of space between them and he stopped.

"too far away come closer" He instructed again

Tae Joo came closer until he was in front of the man.

"Don't make me repeat what I just said," The man was getting mad and Tae Joo was not sure why. There was no space left for him to go. He took two steps and their shoes were touching.

"I heard you're gay" The man asked as he folded his hands on his stomach.

Tae Joo froze. The Dean smiled wickedly.

"You don't have to say anything. What I want from is to come prepared next time. Bring lube and a condom. I hope you get what I'm talking about"

Tae Joo felt disgusted. He felt sick to his stomach. He looked at the man who had a sinister smile on his face daring him to say otherwise. He had to choose between his degree and having sex with the monster in front of him. Two of them were not options for him.

He started sweating. All his energy left his body.

"Please, anything but that. I've never done that, please" He pleaded but the man was not relenting

"take it or leave it"

Tae Joo could feel he was about to fall. He didn't have the strength anymore but fainting here could end up being raped by the horny bastard, so he left the room and struggled until he was in his hallway.

Someone bumped into him and he almost fell but held on the wall for support. His breathing was coming short, he was struggling to breathe. He was feeling hot, and he was feeling cold too. The path before him had many people and many halls.

He was seeing doubles.

He saw the door to his room, If only he could get to the door. He wobbled like a drunk man. He could feel sweat running down his face. He was almost there.

With the last bit of strength he had, he opened the door and his energy depleted. At least he was safe. He saw Kang Gook running to him and he closed his eyes.

When he woke up Kang Gook was with him and he was worried.

"if you didn't wake up for another 10 mins, I was going to call an ambulance."

HE embraced Kang Gook tightly. Scared.

He was comforted by Kang Gook. He took a good care for him. He was always there for him. The following days, he forgot about the Dean.

It was Friday in the afternoon that his phone chirmed, and he carelessly opened it. He was laughing at a joke Kang Gook just told him. His smile faded when he saw a text message from D.

He opened the text and read it.

He paled.

Sunday 8pm my house.
