When Hakyeon opened his eyes, he was greeted with great pain in his head. What was happened ? He tried to remember. He remembered having met Minhyuk to the police station. He still could not believe that his friend wanted to kill him. Minhyuk had wept and said he was innocent. He could only trust him. He was his only friend and his only comfort during all the years that he had suffered. He trusted his friend. Besides Hakyeon had to admit, Minhyuk was currently in the police station, while he was in a cold room with lot of light . Hakyeon felt the burn of cold on his bare skin. Where was he ? Hakyeon tried to get up but his head made him suffer horribly. He also felt that his hands and feet were tied to this flat and cold surface. What was happening to him? He heard a laugh at the time. Someone was near him. Hakyeon began to panic. What want this person? Why had he tied his hands and his feet? His fear increased even more when Hakyeon knew where he was. It was cold because they were in a refrigerated room. He could see in the distance the body of dead animals hanging on hooks. Would he end up like them? He felt his heart beating very fast in his chest. Leo? Where was Leo? He had asked him to leave him alone for a few minutes. Did he know that he had been kidnapped? Was there anyone to help him? Hakyeon felt his tears on his face. No, he didn't want to die. He would not die. Hakyeon began to move more and more. He need absolutely to taking off his ties if he want to have the chance to survive. "In your place, I would not do that Yéonie. You would venture to leave scars on your lovely skin, "said the voice of a man. Hakyeon stopped in shock. That voice, he knew it. She had always had the gift of giving him chills. He believed in his life, he would never have to hear again that voice. Yet it was that voice who had addressed to him. Hakyeon plunged into his memories.

" Again. Do it again. Do you think one day being the best with such a low endurance? Get up. I want you to do it again, and I want it now, "cried the voice of his father. "Appa, it's hurt. I danced all day. My feet hurt me, "said a young Hakyeon crying. "You dare to cry in front of me. How many times do I have to say to you that a man does not cry. Dry those tears quickly if you do not want to be punished "his father said. Hakyeon tried to stand up but the pain made him fall to the ground. "Aih ..." said Hakyeon falling. He saw his father to head toward him and he received a big slap. Hakyeon could no longer hold back his tears. It was too bad. It had been years that this situation repeated itself, from its 7 years. Yet he could not get used to the beatings his father gave him. He too wanted to become stronger. He wanted to be the best for his father to be proud of him. He wanted to hear him one day tell him he was proud of him. But he might try, he received only blows. He had learned long ago that the best technique was to lie on the ground and to accept blows without reacting. More you moved and more the blows were strong. Hakyeon closed his eyes and let his father hit him in the stomach. In a few minutes, he will calm down and leave him to rest for an hour before asking him to do it again. He heard the door of the ballroom open and his mother lay on him begging his father to stop. "Stop, you'll kill him. There is a competition in a week. If you brokes something in him, he will not participate to the competition, "said her mother. These words brought back his father to reality. He turned to the door and shouted a "I leave him to you" before leaving the room. His mother made him sit on the floor and began to look at the wounds on his body. "You know, you should not stand up to your father. He wants only your good. Soon you will be the best and everyone will want to recruit you, "said her mother. The best ? According to whom? Hakyeon just wanted to be a normal child. Play with friends, doing stupid things and have parents who loved him because he was their son, but not a source of money. He let his mother take him in her arms. He was going to tell her anything. He would just endure the pain. Because he knew it. Yes, he knew that this would happen again and again. It should be used to this situation, but he could not.

Hakyeon knew the pain this man could inflict him. He could hear the sound of a knife slide on a metal. Was he going to kill him because he had abandoned him ? Hakyeon began to beg. He absolutely had to receive help otherwise it would be the end for him. His father was not one to forgive. "Your mother left me. She said that without you, she was not interested in me anymore. She wanted to replace me with a younger man. I left her a gift that she will remember all her life. You too have wanted to leave me. I left you time. You spent your time with these people you call your family. This Ravi has taken advantage of the results of my work. It's me who made you what you are now. It's me who makes you the best. So I expect you back. You will stay beside me. Do not worry, I'll take good care of your body. I could admire you every morning, "said his father. Hakyeon panicked even more. "Appa, it's my fault. Please forgive me, I promise that I would be wise. I would stay beside you, and I'll do whatever you tell me. Appa please, do not kill me, "wept Hakyeon. He saw his father frown. "Um ... Again tears. How many times do I have to say that a man does not cry. You already start to disobey me. I no longer believe in your words Yéonie. I'll take you all. All I gave you: your life, your glory and your money. You belong only to me. Your body is mine, "said his father directing the knife to the heart of Hakyeon. Hakyeon screamed. No he would not die. He heard at that time a shot followed by another. His father staggered but still tried to hurt him with the knife. Other shots were heard and the father of Hakyeon fell to the ground. Police invaded the room. Hakyeon could barely hear them, his heart was broken. He felt a hand settle on him and free his hands and feet. A hot body stuck to him and arms squeezed him against a chest. "Hakyeon, it's me, it's Leo." Hakyeon heard these words but could not understand. He didn't want to understand anything.

The days that followed, Leo did his best to help Hakyeon. With the help of the police, they could follow and help Hakyeon in time. But the damage was done. Leo was shocked when he learned the identity of the culprit. Hakyeon was threatened by his own father. He could not accept that truth. Yet he remembered the picture of the child who was not smiling in the training room of Hakyeon. He had taken formalities to release Minhyuk. Hakyeon was right. This man was not guilty, but Leo still could not trust him. Why ? Because this man knew the true Hakyeon, the child who had suffered before becoming an arrogant and loving star. He also wanted to know Hakyeon. He want to hear his innermost thoughts. But for days, Hakyeon not left his room. He ate little and would see no one. Leo had been afraid that the pain does make him to try a suicide. Then he asked Ken, Hongbin and Ravi to be near him all the time. He wanted to stay with Hakyeon and soothe his pain. He wanted to take him in his arms and make love to him all night. But he could not. Leo felt frustrated. His frustration was even greater when he one day received a letter for his new assignment. He would have to leave Hakyeon. Leo did not feel able to support this separation. Yet he had to. His work in this house was finished. The culprit was caught and Hakyeon did not need a bodyguard. He bang his fist against the wall. He did not need that. Not now. He knew he had to leave the day after the arrestation but he could not. So he stayed for several days hoping Hakyeon come to him. But nothing. He had no choice. He had to leave. "You have to tell him," said a voice behind him. Leo jumped. He had not heard Ken approach him. " You need to tell him Leo. "Ken said. "Tell him what? "Asked Leo. "Tell him that you love him. Hakyeon love you too. He's just upset because of the incident. I'm sure if you let him time, he will come to you, "said Ken. "I'm going tomorrow Ken. I was just doing my job, now it's over. I'm sure Hakyeon will find one day the right person for him, "said Leo going away. He knew he was lying to himself, but what he could do? Hakyeon and him lived in two different worlds. He was only his bodyguard and now it was over.

Ken looked at Leo leaving the house. He had seen him look a million times towards the Hakyeon chamber. But Hakyeon was not going out of his room. Ken felt the anger rising in him. He turned and went straight to the room of his boss. He did not take the time to knock on the door. As always since the incident, Hakyeon was sitting at the window crying. "Are you going to cry much longer? Leo is leaving and you stay there to bemoan. If this is truly the man of your life as you say then you should be in the process of running behind him, "Ken shouted. Hakyeon looked at him and shook his head. "He has his own life Ken, I can not condemn him to share mine," said Hakyeon. "And what have your life? I remind you that Ravi, Hongbin and me, we share it with you this life, and we are fully satisfied. Leo also wants to share this life with you, why you reject him. I know you love him, "Ken said. "Yes I love him Ken. I love him to death. I do not want him to go but he has his own life. I would not be a burden for him, "said Hakyeon. "Who told you that ? I saw Leo looking after you and asking question about you a million of times. He did not sleep at night because he was afraid that you make a stupid attempt of suicide. He would sit for hours under your window, hoping to see you. I saw him crying in pain because he could not talk to you before he left. He loves you Hakyeon and if you like him a bit then you should know how he feels right now. He suffer like you, "said Ken. " He loves me ? How do you know ? "Asked Hakyeon. "He told me," Ken replied. Ken then saw the first smile of his friend and boss for several days. Hakyeon got up and ran to the door. "Wait," said Ken by putting a hat on him and picking up the keys to the car in its path. Down the steps, Ravi handed to Hakyeon a paper with an address on it. "If you do fast, I think you could catch him up," said Ravi. Hakyeon threw himself into his arms and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "I love you Ravi" said Hakyeon running towards the exit. "Um ... I already knew it but it's always good to hear. You say it so rarely "Ravi responded by making him a wave.

Ken was happy. He had managed to move Hakyeon. With luck, this story would end well he said. He could now enjoy a good glass of cold water. He opened the kitchen door and what he saw made him stop short. Hongbin and Hyuk? No it was not possible. Yet he had to face the facts, these two were really spirited kissing. Hyuk's hand was placed far too an intimate place of Hongbin and the latter seemed to enjoy it. Ken was in shock. He felt an arm slip to his waist and a hand close the kitchen door. Ken found himself in front of Ravi. He tried to inform him of what he had seen but no sound could come out of his mouth. "Shh, I already know it . It's been several days they are together, "said Ravi. Ken did not understand. How could he miss such an important information. Yet he was good at finding gossip. But he was too absorbed in the situation of Hakyeon. Ken felt Ravi hold him in his arms. "You were too busy with Hakyeon then I left you some time, but now you're mine. You can not know how you drive me crazy. I dream of our kiss every night and wonder what will taste your lips every day, "said Ravi. Ken gave him a big smile. "What prevents you to taste? They are very sweet today, "said Ken offering him his lips.

"It is a great loss Mr. Jung. Are you really sure you want to quit your job? "Asked his boss. "Yes," replied Leo. He was sure. He never wanted to have to protect another person than Hakyeon. He would feel to betray him. A loud noise was heard at that time. A man entered the office of his boss. "Sorry sir but there is a man here who wants to talk to Leo. He is spirit to make everyone crazy. Please Leo must go and tell him to calm down, "said the man. Leo quickly bowed his head and walked to the door. He was greeted by cries. "How dare you prevent me from passing. Do you know who I am? I count to three, if you do not let me go, I swear to hang your business in the mud. You will have nothing to pay your wages. 1 .... 2 "shouted Hakyeon. "It's good Hakyeon, I'm here," Leo said. He saw him turn to him. Leo then realized how Hakyeon had lost weight. He must have suffered a lot. He also realized how he missed this man, he wanted to throw himself into his arms and kissing him breathlessly. "Do you need something Hakyeon? "Asked Leo. He lives Hakyeon hesitate. But that did not last long. Hakyeon challenged him by his look. Oh my god how he like to see this look. He had missed him. "What right do you allows yourself to leave me without asking my permission? "Said Hakyeon defying him. "Do you see there a problem Hakyeon ? "Leo replied, approaching him. "Yes, I'm your boss and you have to do what I say. Your work does not end when you like it but when I decides to end it "said Hakyeon. "I thought it was me who gave the orders," replied Leo. "It's me who pays your wages," said Hakyeon. "I do not need your money Hakyeon" Leo replied, stopping beside him. He knew he was too close but he could not help himself. He needed to touch him. "But I have need of you," replied Hakyeon. Leo remained in shock. "What did you just say? "He asked his former boss. He had to be sure. Hakyeon hesitated. "I ... I need you Leo" murmured Hakyeon. "I can find you another bodyguard," Leo said. "I did not need a bodyguard. I need you Leo "said Hakyeon. Leo raised his hand and stroked his cheek. " Why ? "Asked Leo. "Because .... because" began Hakyeon. " Say it. Hakyeon. I want to hear you say it aloud "Leo encouraged him. He let his eyes dive into those of Hakyeon. Then he heard the words out of his mouth. "Because I love you Leo" said Hakyeon. Leo threw himself without waiting on his mouth. He had to touch him, fto eel him vibrate in his arms. He must have proof that it was not a dream. Hakyeon loved him. At this point, Leo not give a damn to the presence of his boss and colleagues in the room. They could think what they wanted from him. He was happy. Hakyeon also loved him and he loved him madly. He took a second for a break, time to blow to his lover how much he loved him too before resuming his lips. He did not intend to give up so soon.
