When Seonghwa entered his room late that evening, the guilt that weighed on him almost made him turn around.

He had been gone far longer than he had intended... but he had to play his father's game.

Wooyoung was sound asleep in the bed, still lying in the same place he had been left in that morning.

Seonghwa closed the door behind him and rushed to the boy. The motions of untying him roused him from his sleep and he blinked slowly up at Seonghwa. "Hwa?" He mumbled.

"I'm so sorry baby." The older said as he cradled Wooyoung against his chest. He felt small arms wrap around him and smiled when Wooyoung rested against his shoulder and nuzzled his neck a little.

"I missed you." The younger mumbled again.

Seonghwa chuckled and kissed the top of his head while his fingers danced over the boys skin. "I missed you too. Do you want to try to get up and stretch your legs? I don't think anyone will disturb us tonight." At least he hoped no one would...

Wooyoung let out a small sound that could be interpreted any way, which made Seonghwa chuckle again. He set Wooyoung down on the bed, with a few protests, and stepped into the bathroom to run a hot bath.

It was obvious that the younger was too tired to actually focus on anything, so the least he could do was use the warm water to help with the circulation.

The steam slowly filled the bathroom as Seonghwa poured a few oils into he water to try and make it even more relaxing for Wooyoung before he stripped and went and collected Wooyoung from the bed.

"Where are we going?" The younger continued to mumble sleepily, unable to keep his eyes open for long.

"Don't worry about it, I'm going to take care of you." Seonghwa whispered.

He stepped carefully into the tub and eased himself into the hot water, shifting Wooyoung so he was situated between his legs.

Wooyoung whimpered for a moment as the hot water licked his skin, but he soon relaxed and wiggled his back against Seonghwa's chest a little. "This is nice." He said. A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"I know you're tired, but you've been in that bed all day, so I wanted to get you out of it." Seonghwa whispered into his ear before placing a few soft kisses on the boy's shoulder. "Just relax and enjoy."

He lifted his hands up and started to rub Wooyoung's shoulders. They were so tense and tight from how he had been laying all day, so he would dip his hands into the hot water to heat them up again and rub them across his bare skin.

Wooyoung would let out soft moans occasionally, and shift to where he needed Seonghwa to rub the most. At one point, he brought his legs up and leaned over them to support his head to Seonghwa could rub lower down on his back.

The older couldn't help but admire the perfect curve of Wooyoung's spine. The way his skin glistened when wet was tantalizing as well, and he could feel himself growing hard.

He had been a fool to try and push Wooyoung away. Now that he had found this connection with him, there was no way he'd ever be able to give it up.

"I love you, Woo." He said, leaning over to leave a few more kisses on the younger's back.

Wooyoung straightened up and spun around, sloshing water around the tub as he moved to straddle Seonghwa. He ran his wet hands through Seonghwa's hair, playing with it a little while biting his lip and looking down shyly. "You do?"

Seonghwa couldn't blame him for being a little hesitant. He had told Wooyoung he loved him while having to pretend to use him like the whore his father believed Wooyoung was...

God it was so messed up... But it was the only way Seonghwa had thought he could get his feeling out that he hadn't wanted to do that to Wooyoung. And really, saying 'I love you' wasn't planned. It just happened.

"I do. Like I said yesterday, I always will." Seonghwa caressed the younger's cheek, not missing the blush that started to take over. "You're precious to me. And I'm sorry I have to put you through this. I promise I will do everything I can to make it up to you."

Wooyoung leaned forward and kissed him. It was slow, almost cautious, but full of passion.

Seonghwa ran his hands up and down Wooyoung's back before he pulled back and gave him a questioning look.

He got a nod in response before Wooyoung was kissing him again. Their tongues danced as Wooyoung started to gently rock his hips.

Seonghwa groaned as their lengths started rubbing together. He lowered his hand down and started teasing the younger's entrance. Slowly, he pushed his finger inside and groaned when he felt Wooyoung clench around it.

Then he moved and started kissing along Wooyoung's jaw, loving how pronounced it was, and down his neck. He picked a spot to nip and suck on until he was satisfied with the mark he left there. He looked up to see Wooyoung biting his lip with this eyes scrunched tight in pleasure.

It was kind of ironic, after everything that the boy had been through, he still liked it when Seonghwa was a little rough with him.

So he continued to place a few new marks along his neck, shoulders, and chest, taking his time with each one.

Wooyoung let out a content sigh as he played with the short hairs on the back of Seonghwa's neck. He was still grinding his hips slowly, drawing out the feeling for both of them, but neither one were in a hurry to finish this.

There was something about the small touches, their fingers grazing their skin, exploring every dip, bump, and curve, that made this moment simply perfect.

Seonghwa slipped in a second finger and started making a slow scissoring motion, making Wooyoung whimper a little as he nuzzled Seonghwa's head out of the way so he could start leaving open mouth kisses along Seonghwa's neck and shoulders.

The older brought his other hand around and started gently running his fingers over Wooyoung's nipple, twisting it gently every once in awhile too.

Their motions were slow enough that they didn't upset the water too much, but as things got a little more heated, their moans were joined by the sound of water moving around them.

Seonghwa slipped in a third finger and started thrusting in and out a little quicker. He pushed Wooyoung away from him so he could suck on his other nipple, bringing for a higher pitched whine as Wooyoung dug his nails into Seonghwa's shoulders.

Then the boy lifted himself off Seonghwa's fingers. Seonghwa got the message and lined his length up for Wooyoung to sink down on to.

They both let out low moans at the feeling.

Seonghwa didn't think he'd ever get over how tight Wooyoung felt around him.

When he was all the way down, Wooyoung started to rotate his hips. Seonghwa grabbed the back of his head and pulled him in for a heated kiss while using his foot to release the drain in the tub so they didn't knock too much water out.

Wooyoung took this as a sign to go faster, and Seonghwa joined him by thrusting his hips in time so he could drive himself in even deeper.

Their lips never parted as the water level dropped but their need increased.

All too soon, Seonghwa moaned into their kiss, holding Wooyoung's head in place, as he emptied himself inside the younger. Wooyoung let out several high pitched whimpers as he sprayed their chests.

And still their kiss continued as they slowly came down from their highs.

If Seonghwa could stay like this forever, he would. The feeling of Wooyoung pressed against him, with his length still buried deep inside, and their hearts pounding in sync... It was all he could ever ask for.

He knew he would cherish this boy forever, and would do everything he could to get him out of this awful place.

After several minutes of just sitting there, and when they started to feel cold from their damp skin being exposed to the air, Wooyoung lifted himself off Seonghwa and they both stepped out of the tub to clean up and dry off.

They walked to the bed, hand in hand, and curled up under the covers together.

Wooyoung tucked in under Seonghwa's chin and started tracing shapes onto his chest with his finger.

The older closed his eyes and hummed as he started to drift off to sleep.

But Wooyoung started shifting a little.

Seonghwa chuckled and pulled him closer. "Go to sleep."

"I can't now..." Wooyoung whispered. "I slept all day. And... Hwa?" Seonghwa hummed. "I need to tell you something." His voice got even softer.

"What is it?" He loosened his grip and Wooyoung backed up a little, but he still kept his eyes locked on Seonghwa's chest.

"You were right, they came to check on me today... I don't think they suspected anything because they didn't stay long... But they said something as they were leaving that scares me."

Seonghwa immediately cupped his face and looked at him. "What did they say? What are they planning?" His heart was racing as he saw the pain in Wooyoung's eyes. It was almost like he didn't want to say anything.

"It's... It's not that. I honestly didn't mean to be sleeping when you got back because now that we just... It feel wrong to say this. But I just remembered and now I can't forget..."

"Wooyoung, honey, what is it? You're scaring me now." Seonghwa brushed his thumb back and forth across Wooyoung's cheek, wiping away the tears that had started to fall.

"Why did you turn yourself into the police? The whole story?" Wooyoung asked slowly.

Seonghwa gave him a confused look and shook his head. "I... I didn't want to be here anymore. I had just been through extensive training to be a lethal weapon, but my father couldn't change my morals. His final test for me pushed me to the limit."

"What was it?"

"Why does this matter?" Seonghwa asked, starting to get a little upset now.

"Please..." Wooyoung closed his eyes and took Seonghwa's hands in his.

Seonghwa let out a long sigh as the memory of the woman's face came back to him. The pain and the fear... "He made me kill an innocent. A bullet to the head. Quick and easy, but she was still innocent."

Wooyoung suddenly started to cry, chasing all of Seonghwa's fear away. Instead, he started to panic, worried that Wooyoung would think less of him now that he knew. "Please... Please Wooyoung I'm so sorry. I never wanted anyone to know. It's why I turned myself in. I didn't feel right after doing it." He started to brush his love's tears away again. "Oh please... Please forgive me. I'm so sorry... I'm not that person, I promise. I love you."

The sobs continued as Wooyoung tried to compose himself. He took deep shuddering breaths and pressed his face to Seonghwa's chest.

The older held him tight and tried to shush him gently, even rocking him back and forth a little.

"I-I'm sorry..." Wooyoung whimpered. "I p-promise I'm not upset with y-you. If-f anything, I have the worse rap-p-p sheet."

"Then why are you bringing this up? Why do you want to know all the sudden?"

Wooyoung was silent for a long moment, but he wrapped his arms around Seonghwa and squeezed. "The people who visited me today... It was a man and a woman... He said..." His voice started to shake again and Seonghwa could feel hot tears on his chest. "Hwa... They said that woman... Was your mother."
