DIRTY SECRETS OF MARRIAGE

Chapter : 2

Tine held the doorknob with shaky hands and twisted it to welcome the monster, unintentionally. He didn't even have to pull the door when an aggressive Sarawat pushed it a little harshly that hit Tine's forehead and he instantly staggered backwards, losing balance.

"Argh...ahh-"

His slim body started to fall downwards as a loud shriek left his earlier sealed lips.

His mind was alert to feel the upcoming pain that never came as Sarawat saw him and with a quick swift motion, grabbed his wrist and then his slim waist while pulling him closer to himself with such force that their bodies collided with each other making Tine shocked, embarrassed and scared.

"Clumsy, who told you to stay behind the door? Can't you step aside?!" Sarawat snapped while exhaling deep breaths at the end, observing the almost teary face of the latter. He had managed to steady both of them but still the other person seemed to be trembling.

Tine ducked his head down more and more as he could feel a pair of icy cold eyes scanning him which made him more uncomfortable than he already was. A deep shade of red washed over his doll-like porcelain skin as he saw himself in his bully's embrace.

Sarawat's right hand, which was full of black-inked tattoos, was wrapped around Tine's waist like a tight belt, giving him goosebumps internally while the other hand was clutching his wrist in the mid air.

Their bodies were pressed to each other in a way that they can feel both of their abnormally raised heartbeats as well as each other's warm heavy breathings, brushing on their skin.

Tine wanted to voice out but he didn't want to get on Wat's nerves. No matter what, he's still his bully. The very same male who had dictated ownership over him everywhere.

Recalling those horrible times always brings back nightmares to Tine. His punishment.... Tine could feel his insides churned up already. He was wishing inwardly that Sarawat would leave him.

But how could Sarawat let him go likewise?

So when he saw the little being trying to get free from his hold, he pulled him closer more from his waist as if that was even possible, making the latter yelp in fear.

"W-Wat-ahhh!"

Tine, having no senses of what's happening, wrapped his arms around the elder's neck to prevent himself from falling as Sarawat held his thighs, pulling him upwards so that his legs wrapped around Sarawat's waist.

This sudden action of his bully baffled Tine and made him rethink his friend's words. He was petrified when Sarawat's cold voice snapped him out of his world,

"(Sitting on the bed in the same position while hanging his legs down) This isn't bad at all...by the way, why were you not opening the door earlier?"

"(Gazing downwards) I-I thought it's M-Mom.."

"Hmm...and why you don't want to talk with Mom (*they used to call each other's mother likewise*). Did she do something wrong to be avoided?"

"N-noo! S-she is t-telling me to g-get married..(gasping as his eyes became wide) I-I d-did not a-agree! I'm not d-disobeying you, I-I'm n-not t-trying to r-run a-away...t-trust m-me.. "

Tine was chanting like a mantra, wanting Wat to believe that he's not running away. He was now panicking badly. His chest heaving up and down rapidly as he was on the verge of collapsing, recalling that unfateful event when he had tried to leave Bangkok secretly without even informing his parents, to settle at Busan, South Korea but somehow Wat caught him on the airport and dragged him to an abandoned place behind University and there he hit his legs until they started bleeding and the skin teared up on various places.
