A/U: This takes place a few years after the first shot. Incidents happened in between but aren't mentioned {It's a oneshot book, remember y'all}

The night was wild and windy and darkness had already spread her black cloak all over the area.

The car rumbled on, it's engine bringing the only source of sound in the otherwise silent environment. The car was being driven at top speed, as if the occupants were trying their best to flee from someone or somewhere. It didn't dare stop or even slow down, as it went on in it's journey down the path, towards a deeper, darker area surrounded by too many trees and an eerie creepy ambience. Soon, it was lost amidst the trees and leaves and the pitch black darkness.

The vehicle finally came to a hault in front of a house. It was all dark and not a gleam of light was visible from the insides of the house. The driver swerved the car through the open gates and took it inside, stopping it at one corner of the lawn. Soon, a man emerged out of the driver's seat. He hastily went around the car and opened the passenger's seat, bringing another man out of it and quickly, the two figures ran towards the house, opening the front door, getting in and locking the door from inside.

The two men didn't stop, as they scrambled upstairs in the dark, not daring to switch on a single light. They opened the door of a bedroom and upon entering, locked the door from inside and collapsed on the floor. They were panting nonstop, sweating profusely, breathing heavily, their chests heaving up and down groping for more air and hearts throbbing hard against their ribs.

"J-Joong..a-are you o-okay? A-Are you h-hurt-" One of them asked, scooting closer to the other one and scurrying his hands over his entire body, looking for any kind of injuries

"Hwa...c-calm down...I-I'm fine..." came the reply, as the speaker placed his hand over the former's restless ones and placed them on his lap.

"B-But y-you-"

"Sweetheart I promise I'm fine," Hongjoong replied, as he edged closer to Seonghwa, and with his right hand, gently swiped away his hairs sticking to his sweaty forehead, and placed a light kiss on his forehead.

"I-It's all my f-fault," Seonghwa said, his voice choking slightly, tears blurring his vision.

"Hwa baby n-no..."

"Y-You are i-in trouble b-because of me," Seonghwa whispered, the tears finally rolling down his cheeks, "H-He wanted you to k-kill me...b-but you didn't a-and tried to pr-protect me and n-now you're in trouble....I-I am t-the c-cause of all th-this-"

"Hwa. Hwa. Calm down baby...stop crying," Hongjoong spoke as he pulled the crying boy into his arms, placing his head against his chest, "My life was worse than this before I met you...and no baby! You're not the reason of any of my troubles...you're the reason why I am even alive..."

"B-But..."

"Sshhh..."

Hongjoong got up from the floor and picked up Seonghwa in a bridal style, taking him to their bed and placing him on it with care. He then quickly crawled up and took the place beside him, pulling him into his arms and whispering sweet words into his ears. Seonghwa wrapped his hands around his waist, hiding his face into his chest, his eyes still swollen and teary, as Hongjoong embraced him tightly and placed consecutive kisses on his head. The wind outside rumbled on, the anticipation of a storm was valid and the night was definitely getting darker.

"J-Joong?"

"Yes darling?"

"W-What if they f-find us here?" The fear in the boy's eyes made Hongjoong's stomach churn and heart thump faster in anxiety. Not for himself. But for his love.

"They-They won't find us here," Hongjoong assured him, slowly running his fingers through Seonghwa's soft hair, "That guy doesn't know about this penthouse yet. So...we're safe."

Seonghwa hummed in response, closing his eyes and nuzzling into Hongjoong's chest, taking in the intoxicating scent of his shirt. Even after all the reassurance from his beloved, he couldn't get this thought out of his mind.

What will happen to us? Will we even see the daylights together...or spend another night like this? Will we ever be allowed to be together? What if this is our last?

Hongjoong was lost in thoughts about himself and everything else, not sure of anything else, when suddenly he felt some movements on his chest. Before he could comprehend anything, a pair of lips were gently placed against his own. Hongjoong was a little surprised but didn't want to stop, so he just closed his eyes and let himself go with the flow.

The kiss was sweet and full, slow yet passionate, filled with desperation, want and cravings for more and more. Hongjoong slowly wrapped his hands around Seonghwa's waist, as Seonghwa rested his hands Hongjoong's firm chest, lying all over him. They kissed for a while, not getting enough of each other, even if they had kissed so many times. This kiss was different. It wasn't fiery or lustful. It was like the kiss of life, the kiss of desperation, the kiss filled with dread and fear...fear of being caught, fear of being separated and torn apart from each other, the dreadful fear of loosing each other.

"Make love to me."

Hongjoong stared into Seonghwa's eyes, as they separated themselves from the kiss, heavily breathing. Seonghwa's gentle proposal, his voice sounding a little desperate yet sad made Hongjoong's heart swell. Make love to me. Something Hongjoong had never heard of, yet thinking about it made him feel giddy, yet sad at the same time.

"Honey...are you sure?"

"Yes," Seonghwa replied with determination, and even in the darkness,  could see the glow in his eyes, "I want to forget about everything, Joong. Everything. I just want you...only you tonight. Nothing else. Make me forget it all, our pains, our fears, our problems...everything."

Hongjoong didn't know how to respond to this pleading, but he didn't want to back off. Yes. He too needed some time, a moment to think, a break. Why not now? Atleast he would temporarily forget all his worries for a few moments of bliss.

Hongjoong pulled Seonghwa closer to his chest and reconnected their lips once more. They moved in sync, as if their lips fitted perfectly like two lost pieces of puzzle, made for each other. Seonghwa kissed with desperation, Hongjoong with fear. A fear that he would never be able to kiss him like this once again. Seonghwa was now on top of his lap, his arms around his neck and kissing him with need. Hongjoong wrapped his hands around his waist and kissed him back, savouring the taste of his mouth and drinking in it like nectar.

Hongjoong pushed him on the bed beside him and hovered on top of him. He then placed his lips near his neck, leaving soft kisses all over, sometimes a small love bite here and there, making his lover giggle as it tickled. Hongjoong's heart beats quickened upon hearing those little laughter sounds and he couldn't help but smile against his skin. He was really forgetting all his worries temporarily

"May I?" Hongjoong asked softly as he placed his fingers on the first button of Seonghwa's shirt.

"You've been granted all the permission, Joongie," Seonghwa replied, as Hongjoong smiled and slowly unbuttoned his shirt, placing fluttery kisses all down his abdomen, while his fingers worked on unbuckling his belt. Once he had done his work, he pulled them down, stripping Seonghwa off all his clothes and soon took off his own attires and crawled back on top of him.

"Hwa...you really want it?" Hongjoong asked again.

"Y-Yes I do..." Seonghwa responded, as he wrapped his arms around Hongjoong's neck, and his legs around his waist, "I want you Joongie..."

"We don't have any condoms or lube," Hongjoong informed, "Will you be fine?"

"Don't act like I haven't taken you rough and raw before, okay?" Seonghwa immediately retorted.

Hongjoong smiled and placed a kiss on his lips. He then placed his fingers into his own mouth, making them slick with his saliva and then aligned them at Seonghwa's hole, slowly putting them one by one, scissoring him open.

Seonghwa moaned at the touch, his nails digging slightly at Hongjoong's back. Hongjoong kept fingering him, to stretch him out and soon, a sudden scream from Seonghwa made him realise that he had done his work. He then pulled them out and quickly filled up his emptiness with his cock.

Seonghwa moaned loudly and threw his head backwards as Hongjoong was fully inside him. He grabbed his thighs and made them have a firm grip around his waist, as he waited for Seonghwa to settle to his size.

"Y-You can m-move."

Hongjoong pulled himself halfway out and thrusted back in, not to fast, not too slow. Hongjoong wasn't used to vanilla sex, nor was Seonghwa. But this was different. It wasn't just sex for them. It was love and involved the desperation of feelings. And Hongjoong didn't want to destroy the moment with unwanted roughness. He didn't want Seonghwa to feel any pain that night, instead he wanted to invest himself in worshipping every nook and corner of his lover's beautiful body.

Hongjoong kept his pace steady, sometimes accelerating it. He slowly leaned down to touch his mouth with Seonghwa's, the latter emitting low moans into the kiss. Hongjoong kissed down his neck, his chest and placed his fingers on his hard nipples, slightly teasing the perked up pink buds, rubbing circles on them, making Seonghwa moan and giggle at the same time.

"You like this, baby?" Hongjoong asked gently, as he placed his lips against his ears, smiling against the pinna.

"I-I do..." Seonghwa responded, bucking his hip upwards to make him go deeper, feeling so full by him. He raced his hands up and down Hongjoong's back, feeling all his scars and marks. Oh! How he wished to kiss all of them one by one...how he wished to wipe away all his sorrows and problems...how he wished to give him all that he deserved.

"J-Joong?" Seonghwa had tears in his eyes.

"Yes love?"

"I-I...I-I love y-you."

Hongjoong went speechless. He had heard Seonghwa saying this to him countless of times, but this time it felt different...so so different. Hongjoong quickly leaned forward to capture his lips and kissed them again and again, tears forming in his eyes too.

"I love you too Hwa baby...I love you so much," Hongjoong replied.

"P-Promise me that w-we'll be t-together no m-matter wh-what...." Seonghwa asked, tears streaming down his eyes.

"I-I promise..." Hongjoong replied, even though his heart knew the truth, "W-We'll always be together...no matter what."

Hongjoong pushed in deeper, making Seonghwa moan and slip his hands from his back to the sheets, clutching them hard. Hongjoong accelerated his pace a little more, while his lips strayed around every single part of Seonghwa's delicate body. The storm was tumbling down on the town, yet these two didn't pay any heed to it, and continued to be intertwined with each other.

Soon, Seonghwa came all over him, as Hongjoong pooled inside him. He quickly pulled out, and after giving him a small kiss grabbed some tissues to clean himself and his love. He them pulled up the blankets over themselves and wrapped his lover under the warmth, as Seonghwa slowly drifted to sleep.

One hour had past and Seonghwa was already lost in deep slumber. Hongjoong couldn't sleep. He propped himself up against the pillows while listening to the rumbling outside, as he looked at his lover's peaceful sleeping face and ran his fingers through his hair, his heart beating faster at what ye would be doing next.

"I love you Hwa..." Hongjoong whispered, looking deeply at Seonghwa's face, as if he might not get the chance to see him again, "I love you so so much. My life was worse before you came, all stuck in black and white. You came and added color to it. All the things we're going through right now...none of this...none of this is your fault baby. I swear. I fucking swear. But, I don't want you to get involved in this all. I don't want you to get hurt because of me. So...I-I'll have to leave...."

Hongjoong could stop the tears falling unconsciously from his eyes. The man who was known to be cold hearted, tough and strong, devoid of any emotions, was helplessly crumbling down in front of his lover, bidding him a farewell he wished he hadn't to.

"L-Let's run away from this city once I finish this all," he whispered again, "I-If I survive this, let's go by the meadows and buy the cottage of your dreams. Let's work at the cafe together you always wanted to work in and spend our days travelling around everywhere without a care. Y-You remember th-that puppy at the store right? W-We'll adopt i-it t-too...just l-like our own b-baby....Once this is all over, I'll be back into your arms love. I'll come back once again, and when I come back, I'll marry you. But for now, I'll have to leave. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry."

Hongjoong quietly slipped out of the bed and picked up his clothes. Even while putting his attires on, he couldn't stop crying. He quickly fished out a paper and a pen from his room, and scribbled down every single thing that he wanted his Seonghwa to know. Once he was done with it, he folded the paper and placed it at the bedside table, along with his locket on top of it. He gently kissed his sleeping lover and stared at his face, never wanting to leave. Finally, he turned towards the door and after a last look at his sleeping boy, he left.

I will come back to you, love, no matter what.
