Kindness Behind the Darkness

"Why didn't you fight back? Why did you just let that asshole slap you?" Matthew asked and it's obvious that he's mad, matthew just gently pat sung hoon's cheeks, and sung hoon smiled while matthew pat his cheeks, "why? Are you happy that you got slap?" Matthew said irritably and sung hoon just shake his head, "this don't even compare to the kick i received from you the first time we met" sung hoon said and laughed matthew then stopped caressing his face and stood up, "why? Are you mad at me?" Sung hoon asked matthew with a smirk on his face and matthew just rolled his eyes at sung hoon, "but, I'm worried for john, I've heard that he was disowned by his family" sung hoon said and matthew was kind of surprised but he didn't let sung hoon see his reaction so he remained blank,  "so?" Matthew just asked, "well, he's still in his room in here, and he refused to see anyone and he doesn't eat" sung hoon said matthew took a deep breath and walks towards the door, "wait, where are you going?" Sung hoon asked and he quickly fixes himself and followed matthew, matthew went straight to the front desk to ask the room number of john, "its 106, there" the nurse in the front desk and pointed where it was and matthew snatched the keys from the nurse and went straight to John's room and he went in, he saw john on sitting on the floor, facing the floor "i told you don't bother me!" John shouted and when he lifted his head to see who entered his room, he immediately smile when he realize it was matthew, and then matthew walked towards john and sung hoon entered the room. "Hey im so happy, i don't know why, even though i was disowned I feel so happy" john excitedly said and he hugged matthew, matthew just stood there, and sung hoon just removed john from hugging matthew, "you said you wanted to draw" matthew said and john excitedly nodded, sung hoon just stood behind matthew, admiring him. Although he hasn't noticed it yet, he's begun to admire matthew. "None of my books have a copy with images in it" matthew said and john just listened to matthew with all his heart and happiness is the only emotion you can feel and see from his eyes, "its either you create a copy of it with drawings or you turn it into a comic, its up to you, I'll call Kim to inform him about you. You can live in a hotel in Noir City, i left a room in there, i rented it for 2 years. You can stay at the company until you can sustain yourself and build your own company or whatever you wanna do" Matthew said and john was so happy that he cried and he tried to hug matthew but he stopped him and shake his head, "take this and go to a hotel, don't live here" matthew said and gave a card to  john. After that they continued with their lives, john immediately went to a hotel. Sung hoon and matthew is in the hospital's Park, the rain had stopped for an hour now, sung hoon is enjoying the cold breeze of air and matthew is just looking around without thinking anything, sung hoon suddenly looked at matthew, and matthew noticed sung hoon's gaze upon him, "why? Am i that stunning?" Matthew said while looking at the sky and sung hoon just smiled and matthew slowly turned his head towards sung hoon and he caught sung hoon smiling while looking at him, "why do you want me?" Sung hoon asked matthew and matthew thought about it for a second, "you're handsome and hot" matthew said and sung hoon just scratched the back of his head while having a disappointed look on his face, he wasn't expecting him to answer like that but its also not a surprise that that is his answer, "is that it?" Sung hoon asked and Matthew shake his head, "well, we're basically the same and opposite" matthew said and sung hoon just looked at him confused, "you're just like me, looking and wanting for the warmth of others" matthew said and sung hoon suddenly was reminded of his past.

Sung hoon grew up with his mother and brother. His brother has a mental illness and isn't allowed to go out or play with other people, and sung hoon was appointed by his mother to be the protector and guardian of his brother. Sung hoon grew up just taking care of his brother, as a normal kid he was being bullied by the other kids by having a mentally disabled brother, he often gets beaten up and laughed at whenever he goes. His mother always took care of his brother, and all of his mother's attention was always on his brother, he wasn't given the attention he needed, and he wasn't given the love that he needed, this results to sung hoon being jealous of his brother, but knowing that he can't do anything about he kept it inside of him, that is when sung hoon started to keep his emotions and thoughts inside of him.

"And how are we opposite?" Although the answers are obvious, sung hoon still asked Matthew this question, because he's curious about how Matthew's thoughts worked, "well, you take a beating really well, and you keep your anger inside, whereas I explode every time without a proper reason. In that sense we matched pretty well, you can stop me when I'm about to explode and i will let you explode without stopping you" matthew said and sung hoon laughed at him, "I'm surprised that you know that you always get mad at things without a reason" sung hoon said and laughed again matthew just looked at him, "I'm hungry, take me somewhere to eat" matthew said and sung hoon stood up and offered his hands on matthew, matthew took it and they went back inside the hospital.
