"No... absolutely not"

Dean shook his head sternly. It had been almost thirty minutes since Win's father had sent them up to his room, the blond had been agitated ever since they were told that he was no longer allowed to see or even talk to Team. He knew that Team meant a lot to him, the Win he knew wouldn't bat an eye if this was anyone else but he also knew that it had been a long time since his best friend felt an attraction towards another person.

Ever since that night when everything changed for all of them, Win, who had once been the most outgoing person of their friend group had began to shut down completely. He never talked to strangers, didn't like it when people stood too close to him. They all knew what happened to him but the one thing they didn't know was who was the person behind it. It bothered Dean knowing that the person who hurt his bestfriend was still out there but Win had made them all swear on his own life that they wouldn't tread upon the man.

When it came to Team, as much as Dean wanted to help Win find happiness again, he saw what Team's single word crumbled down Win's heart. There was absolutely no way that he would help Win meet the younger man, especially since his father was back in town.

The older man was a second father figure to Dean and Pruk, their own parents being close friends with him. He knew the man was in a shady world of his own, but when it came to his children, especially the youngest, he was a force no one wanted to cross. He could only imagine the wrath he'd have to face if his father found out that he helped Win see Team,

"Dean please! You know I haven't felt this way towards anyone for a very long time! Please Dean you have to help me"

Win's voice was nothing short of begging, it broke his heart to see the tears in his friend's eyes but the price to pay if they were to get caught was higher than their ability to sneak around his mogul of a father,

"Win. I already said no. You heard what your dad said and you know that once he says something he never goes back on it"

He could see that Win was getting more and more hysterical by the minute and he was worried that if he got too loud he was sure to attract the attention of the adults conversing downstairs,

"Please Dean just one time, just make up an excuse so I can see him one last time. Let me do it just this only this one time, I'll do anything you say!"

The words that were being thrown at him was shocking to say the least, no matter what the situation was, Win was never the type of a person to beg, for anything,

"Dean!! Please just help me god damnit!!"

Dean's thought of telling Win to be quiet came up a bit too late as the door to the room suddenly flew open, revealing Yong and Win's father standing, both their expressions unreadable,

From the corner of his eye he could see Win hastily wipe away the stray tears as the two older men walked towards them, it was Yong who spoke first,

"And why are you exerting yourself when you were clearly told not to?"

Win only turned around in response, facing away from them, a mistake if someone asked Dean because soon enough, Win's father let out a sigh and nodded towards Yong, who in turn closed the room door shut, and as soon as the door closed, Win's father grabbed his soon by the elbow, turning him around almost violently, Dean noticed that even after Win was made to face them, the tight grip on his arm never loosened.. instead the older man moved his other hand to grip Win's face and move his head so that they were making eye contact, whether he wanted to or not,
