Cellmates

The new guy arrives

It was just a normal day for Cho Kyuhyun. There he was. Standing in the prison yard, feeling the heat of the sun. He was all alone. He didn't even have a cellmate anymore, which he was really happy about. The guy he had been sharing his prison cell with had been a real jerk. Kyuhyun was getting tired of his bad luck. The years he had spent in prison were the worst years of his life. He had had three different cellmates during the six years he had been in there. He looked behind himself and saw the guard staring at him. No wonder. Kyuhyun had tried to escape many times. He was sick of the place. Sick of all the abusing and violence.

"Cho Kyuhyun your cell is now ready," a big muscular guard said and grabbed Kyuhyun by his shoulders. Kyuhyun did as he was told. He knew that he shouldn't fight against the big guard if he wanted to get to his cell without any broken bones. Siwon really hated him. He hated every single prisoner inside the hell hole, but for some reason he just couldn't stand Kyuhyun. It might have been that he knew Kyuhyun was smarter than him. Kyuhyun took a deep breath and waited for the prison guard to open the heavy door so he could get inside. He heard a loud noise signalling that the door was about to open. Siwon followed him inside and pushed the switch, which closed the door.

"Walk!" Siwon roared and pushed Kyuhyun's back. Kyuhyun didn't have any options besides doing what he was told. His hands were cuffed so there was nothing he could do. After all he was just a skinny guy with brains. He didn't like the way the other prisoners stared at him when walking past them. Like he was some cheap whore they could look down to. The guard pushed him again. Kyuhyun sighed. Nothing was ever good enough for Siwon. If he walked too fast he would get beaten up. If too slow Siwon would continue to push him around. After they reached Kyuhyun's cell Siwon opened a metal box in the wall with his keys. There was another switch. He pushed it down and door began to slide open. Kyuhyun stepped inside and turned around. He stretched out his hands so that Siwon could unlock his handcuffs. The big guard opened the cuffs, lifted the switch and locked the metal box after making sure that the cell door was closed. After that he left.

Kyuhyun's cell was just a regular prison cell. Nothing special. There was a normal bunk bed, a toilet seat and a sink. He sat down on the bottom bunk and stared at the wall in front of him. He wouldn't be able to enjoy his own space for long. The new guy would be arriving in a few hours.

"This time I'll take the top bunk," he mumbled to himself and leaned against his own hands. He heard a sound coming from the other side of the wall.

"You awake?" Kyuhyun asked and scratched his own head.

"I have been awake for a while," a tired voice said. Kyuhyun's cell was the last one in the hall so he only had one neighbour cell. He had been talking to the two men in the cell for years and they knew everything about each other.

"So do you know when the new guy is coming?" another man's voice asked.

"Shut up!" the first voice yelled. Kyuhyun heard a slap."He was talking to me."

"Come on Heechul don't be so mean," Kyuhyun said and stood up. He walked to the cell door and leaned against the bars. He tried to look into the cell next to his but couldn't see anything.

"That bastard has to respect his elders," the cranky man said and took the same position as Kyuhyun.

Just like Kyuhyun this man was very skinny. He moved with grace and turned his head so that he could see Kyuhyun.

"You are smart enough to know that you don't fuck with Heenim," he said and swiped his bangs to the side of his head. Kim Heechul, or Heenim as everyone called him, has been in his cell longer than Kyuhyun in his. He has never told anyone the real reason why he was there. There were only rumours. Some people had said that he was a drug lord whose own goons turned him in after getting caught. Others have said that he was well known murderer. Only Heechul himself knew the truth.

"Yes hyung I know," Kyuhyun said and noticed another pair of hands grabbing the bars of Heechul's cell door.

"Why are you nicer to that brat?" the man asked Heechul. He was about the same height as Heechul but a lot manlier.

"Because I know you too well," Heechul answered the man. These two were almost always fighting. They were like brothers even though they were not related in any way. The man sneered and put his arm around Heechul's shoulders.

"I know you like me too so don't act like you hate me," he said. Heechul just shook the man's hand away from him.

"Seriously this Lee Donghae brat doesn't have any manners," Heechul spat. Kyuhyun let out a silent laugh as he stared at his "neighbours". He caught a quick glance of guard Siwon and immediately retreated back into his cell. Siwon didn't like it when he leaned against the bars and talked with Heechul and Donghae.

"I don't understand what his problem is," Donghae said after he saw Siwon coming closer.

"That guy seriously hates you Kyu," Heechul laughed and stayed in his position even after Donghae went back to sit on their bunk bed. The guard came closer but stopped next to Heechul who just smirked.

"Wipe that smirk off your face and get away from the door," Siwon said calmly at first. Heechul was the only one who had the guts to rebel against Siwon even though he was so weak that he could never win against him. Siwon took out his baton and hit the bars after Heechul disobeyed.

"I SAID GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!" he yelled. This time Heechul obeyed but not because he was afraid of the guard.

"Relax Wonnie. You know I'm not a threat," Heechul laughed and sat down next to Donghae.

"You are not the reason why I'm here so just shut up Heechul," Siwon said before taking a couple of steps towards Kyuhyun's cell. Kyuhyun was standing a few feet from the cell door so that Siwon wouldn't be able to touch him.

"You better behave yourself Cho Kyuhyun. Your new cellmate arrived a few minutes ago and we will bring him here in a moment," Siwon informed him. Kyuhyun didn't say a word. He nodded and watched Siwon walk away again.

"You know Heechul, I really hate getting a new cellmate again," Kyuhyun said after making sure that Siwon wasn't able to hear him anymore.

"You're an evil mastermind just like me. No one likes us and therefore we don't like them back," Heechul said. Kyuhyun heard Heechul light up his cigarette.

"The only reason I like this bastard is because he doesn't see me as a sex toy like the other men," he continued and blew the smoke out through his nose.

"Well good for you," Kyuhyun said in a sarcastic tone.

"You need to learn how to use your charm," Heechul said and lied down on the bottom bunk. He inhaled the smoke again and blew it out causing Donghae to cough.

"I guess I have to try," Kyuhyun said and climbed onto the top bunk. He heard the door buzzer. The new guy was coming.
