"I'm home!" Hyunjin called into his small dimly lit apartment.

After his night at Minho's Hyunjin was wrecked. The walk home had been one full of pain and discomfort. He pulled the wad of cash out of his back pocket and sat in the living room to count it. $825 was what he concluded and he sat back, satisfied. Minho had always been generous in his pay and yesterday he seemed to be feeling especially nice.

"Hyung where did you get all that money from? You never told me you got a job." The sleepy morning voice of his little brother forced Hyunjin to look away from the money in his hand.

He shoved the cash into it back pocket and moved over on the couch to make room for Jeongin. The younger curled up in a ball, wresting his head on Hyunjin's lap. Hyunjin ran his fingers through the boys newly died red hair. Jeongin looked up at Hyunjin with sleepy eyes.

"Where were you last night?" he questioned through a yawn.

Hyunjin sighed, leaning his head back against the back of the couch, hoping to relieve some of his sex sores. There was no way he would tell his younger brother about his little "business" type thing he had going on. The only friends of his that knew were Chan and Felix. Felix because he as well engaged in the practice on some of his worse days and Chan because. well. It's Chan, if Hyunjin didn't tell him by himself, he would find out anyways. And now, that random kid he met on the street. What was his name? Jisung?

"Hyung!" Jeongin called, once again getting Hyunjins attention. "You never answered my question."

"Oh right." Hyunjin said, thinking of a response. "I was... working."

"All night?" Jeongin asked, sounding suspicious.

"Well no but I stayed the night at a friends." Hyunjin said.

"You always stay the night at a friends." Jeongin pouted.

"I know but that's because his house is closer to my work than ours." Hyunjin lied, closing his eyes.

Hyunjin was yearning for some type of relaxation. He hadn't slept in almost three days and his eyes were starting to accumulate bags beneath them. He used concealer during the day to hide them the best he could and he always tried his best to not seem tired around Jeongin but his body was starting to fail him now. He had an appointment at 1 that day, maybe he could squeeze in a nap while Jeongin was at school.

"When are we going to visit mom and dad again?" Jeongin asked.

"Soon." Hyunjin lied again. He didn't have the heart to tell Jeongin that the real reason why his parents had bought them an apartment and shipped them off to seoul was because they didn't want them.

His parents had never wanted kids and so when Hyunjin became old enough to take care of the two of them, they sent them off, not having the heart to actually get rid of them at least. Their parents payed their rent for the apartment every month and payed Jeongin's school fees so they wouldn't have a reason to come back. They got Hyunjin through High School but once he requested for them to pay his college tuition, they refused, forcing Hyunjin to find some type of work to provide him and Jeongin with food and other expenses.

Hyunjin had a part-time job working at a convenience store down the rode. He never told Jeongin about it because he was afraid he would worry. Plus he made much more money selling himself than he did at the convenience store on a daily basis so Jeongin would still be suspicious regardless.

Jeongin quieted after Hyunjins short response and stood, leaving the living room to get ready for school. Hyunjin groaned as he rose from the couch. He made his way into the kitchen and made a quick breakfast for him and Jeongin. The younger came into the kitchen a few minutes later wearing his school uniform, with slightly damp hair. He slid onto one of the bar stools and began to eat the food prepared.

"Hyung, Seungmin wants me to come out to eat with him after school. We're gonna study at that new cafe downtown." Jeongin began, swallowing a large mouthful of food.

"Let me guess, you want some money?" Hyunjin asked, smiling fondly at the younger boy while drying some leftover dishes.

Jeongin nodded quickly, his hair bouncing. "If you don't mind."

Hyunjin reaches into his back pocket and pulled out a 20 dollar bill. He handed it to Jeongin from across the counter. "For lunch and your little study date. Next time you want money you should get a job though, you know it's tight, I can't keep giving it to you left and right."

"Yes Hyung. I'll go out looking this weekend." Jeongin said, standing from his seat and placing his dish in the sink, adding to the already looming pile. "I have to go now, Seungmin's waiting at the bus stop."

With that Jeongin grabbed his backpack, waving goodbye before slamming the door or their apartment behind him. Hyunjin watched him leaving before sighing and turning to the sink behind him full of dishes waiting to be washed. might as well finish this, then i'll squeeze in a nap. he thought to himself, grabbing the dish on the top.

Hyunjin woke to the sound of his phone going off. He checked the time, realizing that if he didn't hurry he would be late for his appointment. He worked the night shift at the convenience store as well and so there wouldn't be much time for sleep tonight either. He quickly showered, though he would just get dirty and have to shower again after the appointment, he liked to be fresh and clean for his clients though they didn't often reciprocate that.

He changed into a pair of blue ripped jeans that hugged his figure nicely and a white long sleeved t-shirt. Once he looked alright enough, he locked the apartment before setting out on his walk to meet his client.

This particular client was rather mysterious, not giving a name, only a location. Hyunjin wasn't too scared, at worst he would be kidnapped but he didn't like to worry about that. Just go in, do what they wanted, and leave as quick as he could.

The walk was rather short and Hyunjin found himself in a very nice house. It was a beige color with white accents and beautiful plants on the lawn and porch. Also on the porch was a swing and a few chairs and throw pillows. After admiring the exterior of the house Hyunjin questioned why anyone who lived this civilly would want to buy a person for sex. But nonetheless, he rang the doorbell, checking his phone to see that he was right on time.

There was a pause before the door swamp open revealing a woman that seemed to be a maid of some sort. She bowed, standing aside so Hyunjin could enter. Hyunjin stepped into the house, returning the maids bow. The maid closed the door behind him.

"Master Han's room is just up those stairs. The second door on the left." the maid instructed before going back to whatever it was she was doing.

Hyunjin nodded and followed the maids instructions. Once he reached the top of the stairs he knocked on the second door to the left just as the maid had said. A moment passed and Hyunjin was about to knock again, when the door flew open and Hyunjin was pulled inside and slammed against the same hard wood he had just been knocking on. His eyes closed upon impact with the door and he felt breath on his lips.

After a moment of staying in that position, Hyunjin began to open his eyes. He was shocked at what he saw before him. A boy was smiling up at him despite having puffy red eyes, holding him pinned against his door. Not just any boy though. The boy.

"Jisung!" Hyunjin exclaimed, confusion evident in his voice.

"Hi hyung!" Jisung said, sounding as cheery as he did the previous night.
