Loyalty
The couple
It was a normal day for Harin.
Her shift ended at 6 and now she is cleaning her apartment while jamming to her playlist in her comfort night suit.
Headphone in its full volume, she cleaned the room while humming.
After cleaning, she headed to do the dishes.
The headphones still on, keeping her away from the silhouette who entered the house.
The silhouette watched her humming and washing dishes in amusement.
Soon she felt herself engulfed in a back hug, quickly realizing the male.
Lee Harin
You're back ** she giggles out as she felt the male nuzzling on her nape**
Seung
Missed you a lot today.... ** he said in a exhausted tone before pecking her nape **
Lee Harin
Was the work tough today...
Seung
** her soft caring voice always lit up his mood **
Seung
We had to attack a drúg dealer....
Seung
Boss wanted to send a warning..
And the part of her boyfriend being in a gang comes now…..
Seung had involved himself in a gang making his way through street fighting.
They had been together for two years, knowing each other's all secret. As if she has one like Seung.
Lee Harin
Did..... Anyone ......
Seung
** he understood her hesitation**
Seung
There was one 'accident'
Lee Harin
You should go and take a shower, I'll make something for dinner.
Seung
** he understood the intention**
HARIN had accepted him with his duties.
But after kill, she would always tell him for a shower first.
Him covered in bloód made her uncomfortable with the thought of Seung killing someone else.
So a shower is a must after killing for him.
Lee Harin
Dinner is also served.
Lee Harin
** setting the dining table**
Seung
I thank my lucky stars every day to bless me with you ** holds her by her waist as he leans in to kíss her **
Lee Harin
** she smiled as she reciprocated the action, feeling love rushing in her veins **
Lee Harin
** it didn't matter to her at the end, because she was so much in love with him that she was welcoming his every piece **
The kíss deepened more, as the male traced her inside her upper feeling her soft skin.
Lee Harin
Mmhhh~ ** she moaned at the intimate touch. Knowing where things are going, she walked a little backward to be met with the couch **
Seung
** he broke the kíss to remove his shirt, hovering over her on the couch **
Lee Harin
** she felt his body and the arousal hitting her more**
Things escalated with the lack of clothing, only for the room to be filled with heavy móans and skin slapping sounds.
Lee Harin
** lying nàked in his arms, looking at him with love filled eyes **
Seung
** smiled as he saw her and again captured her líps for another kíss**
Seung
Should I get your dinner here.....
Lee Harin
That would be nice....
Seung
** he wore his lower and went to get them dinner**
Lee Harin
** she peeked at him and smiled seeing him **
Lee Harin
** she wore her clothes and turned the TV on **
Soon Seung joined and both had their dinner.
Now the both bodies were entangled under the sheet, relaxed with each other
Lee Harin
** she whispered as she looked at him for the nth time **
Seung
I know ** smile and pecks her ** I love you too
Lee Harin
You're the best thing in my life........
Seung
I don't think so, because for me, it's opposite.
Lee Harin
You've given me a home and so much love that I can't ask for more.
Seung
Stop belittling yourself, you're my light.
Seung
Someone who's always there for me.
Lee Harin
And you're my home.
Lee Harin
A place where I can always come and be happy.
A kíss was shared and the lovely couple slept.
The betrayal
Another day went on just fine for Harin.
Waking up in her boyfriend's arms resulting in another best morning.
Working her shift, with smile and laughs with her coworkers.
June
You're going back… Now
June ..... Her friend who works part-time there asks her.
Lee Harin
Shift has ended.
Lee Harin
Today I'm planning to cook his favorite.
June
I'm jealous of your boyfriend. ** makes a crying face**
June
I wish I had someone to do this for me.
Lee Harin
Your mother cooks for you every day June.
June
Mother and lover are different 😗
Lee Harin
Sometimes it's good to have at least one. ** smiles sadly **
June
Don't go sad now, you've to prepare a gift and maybe I'll see you limping tomorrow 😉
Lee Harin
** she laughs at her friend's dirty mind**
Lee Harin
Start getting laid hórney aßs
Lee Harin
** she walks back to her home smiling with a fresh mood**
June had always cheered her whenever she felt bad for being orphan.
Sometimes she was too much grateful for a good friend and a good boyfriend.
But TOO MUCH of something always costs you.
Lee Harin
** she reached her apartment only to find it already open**
Lee Harin
Seung are you back early tod--
Lee Harin
** she went silent seeing some guests in her house **
HyunJae
No wonder you're with her, I would like a chance too. ** he said as his eyes trailed over her **
Lee Harin
What is happening here ** the uncertainty screamed through her tone **
Lee Harin
** she felt a little relieved when she saw Seung walking to her **
If he is there then everything is fine...... Right?
Seung
I'm sorry** he whispered out with teary eyes **
Lee Harin
What are you----- mmmmhhhhh ** she struggled when Seung covered her nose with a cloth **
Lee Harin
** she could feel her consciousness fading away**
Lee Harin
Why ** she managed to whisper out before she dropped down **
Lee Harin
** that's what she felt when she regained her consciousness**
Lee Harin
** lights irritating her vision as she rubbed them to get a clear view **
Lee Harin
** she saw a large room with a table beside her to which her ankle was chained **
Lee Harin
** she looked in front to see the same middle age man with someone by his side **
Lee Harin
** remembering the situation, she searched for Seung, only to find him standing at the end of the room with his head down **
Lee Harin
What is going on here ** trying to remove the chain **
HyunJae
Looks like the host is awake now.
Lee Harin
What is happening here.
Lee Harin
What did you do to him
Lee Harin
** she thought maybe they did something bad to Seung as he is standing in the corner **
Lee Harin
Seung!! Are you fine
Lee Harin
** she asked him trying to get him talk **
HyunJae
** a heavy chuckle left his lips **
HyunJae
So sweet...... He sold you off and you're caring for him.
Lee Harin
Excuse me! Stop with your lies, he'll never do it.
HyunJae
Why don't you ask him then.
HyunJae
Seung tell her what is happening here * saying this he turned his head towards Seung, with a mocking smirk on his face*
Lee Harin
** she looked at her love, begging through her eyes that he claimed everything as lie **
Seung
** he looked up with his broken heart, tear escaping his eyes **
Lee Harin
No… You're lying. He is lying
Lee Harin
We love each other and this is something you're forced ..
Lee Harin
Please tell me what is going on here.
HyunJae
You're the price of his loyalty to me.
HyunJae
** he interrupted the talk **
Lee Harin
it's not true please tell me ** she begged Seung who just turned his head away **
HyunJae
I asked if he's loyal to me.....
HyunJae
And he told me he was and he would never betray me...
HyunJae
But you know in this work anytime we can get a betrayal...
HyunJae
So I told him, a night with you will help him step into the inner circle.
HyunJae
** he laughed heartily **
HyunJae
I mean a beauty would be sacrificed, so easily I didn't know.
Lee Harin
** she wasn't able to listen fully. Her mind had gone numb when she heard he agreed **
Lee Harin
** she felt her insides churning at the betrayal as she stared at her 'lover', who just avoided her eye contact**
Lee Harin
Seung** she started out with a broken voice **
Lee Harin
look at me ** her cheeks got covered in tears **
Lee Harin
Please tell me this is not the truth
Lee Harin
** her tears weren't stopping**
Lee Harin
Did I loved you less, I'm sorry please don't abandon me like this
Seung
I'm sorry** he finally let his tears out as he made eye contact and approached her**
Lee Harin
Please tell me you didn't do it for some circle......... Please.............
Seung
It's a big thing for me ** he sat down on his knees to meet her level **
Lee Harin
Is it important than me, you told me I was your light and this.....
Seung
I'm sorry, I really am..... I love you
Seung
But this is important to me ....... And--
Lee Harin
** she shouted as more tears come in the view **
Lee Harin
AM I NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE
Lee Harin
** she latched onto him, grabbing his collar**
Lee Harin
Was I not enough for you......... Tell me....
Lee Harin
** she cried more as she felt her hands being removed **
Seung
It's just a one time thing, nothing will change between us..
Lee Harin
What…... ** she stared at him with questioned eyes **
Lee Harin
** was this the man who cuddled her every night and whispered sweet things to her to make her laugh **
Lee Harin
** was this the man who claimed to love her the most **
Lee Harin
Are you hearing yourself.....
Lee Harin
How could you say this...
Lee Harin
Do I really mean so less to you...
Seung
No .... I love you and I'll accept y--
Lee Harin
You don't** she shouts cutting him **
Lee Harin
You don't... ** her tone gets down as she again starts crying**
HyunJae
Are you two done? ** he asks in a bored tone **
Seung
Yes boss... ** he looks at her for the last time and goes back standing to his previous positions**
Lee Harin
** she wiped her tears, with eyes dull and blank as she sat there accepting her misery **
Lee Harin
** her heart had been broken so badly and for what a position**
Lee Harin
We're over. ** she whispered as more years clouded her vision**
Lee Harin
** she questioned her love, care and everything she had done for him **
Lee Harin
We're over and it's final, I can't- I can't even look at you without disgust
Lee Harin
** how foolish of her to think that he'll leave the job after they both get stable enough for future**
HyunJae
If you're done crying then stand up and remove your clothes.
HyunJae
** his tone held excitement**
HyunJae
** his eyes mirrored his desires, he didn't give a damn about the heartbreak, he played a little and his dog played along him**
Lee Harin
** she just looked at the man blankly, **
Lee Harin
** didn't he had a daughter**
Lee Harin
** if he had she wouldn't be here, she reminded herself**
Lee Harin
** she looked at Seung for the last time, hoping something would change. "*
HyunJae
He'll be here the whole time we enjoy, if you're wondering
Seung
** but he stood there staring straight like a puppet**
Seung
Yes boss ** he replied in a monotonous tone **
Lee Harin
** now she had nothing left to keep after the betrayal, her dignity was just a price **
Lee Harin
** she stood up looking at Seung the whole time **
Lee Harin
** what could she even do, tied up like a prisoner with her only sorry being the main reason she's in the situation**
HyunJae
Will you stríp fast, I don't want to use force on such a beauty?
Lee Harin
** the words of the betrayal ringed in her ears making her realize how her dignity was a cheap, a price **
Lee Harin
** she removed her hood, wearing nothing inside, in the process her hair tie getting removed too**
Lee Harin
** but she felt numb, her hearing had gone numb.**
Lee Harin
** the coldness irked her body, but she felt nothing**
Lee Harin
** soon a hand traced on her back and her head was tilted to meet a pair of foreign lips **
Lee Harin
** the grip on her hair was harsh, hurting her, but she felt nothing, she had zoned out while her eyes stayed at Seung **
Lee Harin
** tears weren't stopping but for her the only shore of her life was someone unworthy**
Lee Harin
** even wishing for a saviour was something she wouldn't do because there was no one for her**
Lee Harin
** but it felt nothing**
Lee Harin
** she was supposed to feel hurt when the foreign touch grabbed her jaw, biting he lips **
Lee Harin
** but she felt nothing, she just kept staring at Seung, his words ringing in her ears as she lost her senses **
Lee Harin
** she felt a hand tugging her zipper of her jeans, another one unhooking her brà**
Lee Harin
** but she kept looking at Seung, letting the betrayal seep into her skin **
Lee Harin
** and then she felt the body going away **
Lee Harin
** but she had already lost herself too much**
Lee Harin
** she just sat down with a 'thud' **
Some minutes before .......
A man, too cheerful walked in the hallway of HyunJae's office.
Guards outside greeted him with a small bow of respect.
And the man directly entered the room
V
** he had finished a big mission of his boss, too important to not delay the report even for a second**
V
** of course his face was recognized everywhere thanks to the position he held in the inner circle**
V
** but he had achieved with his skills. His boss would be really stupid to lose a gem like him. And like his name, he gained victory on every task he got **
V
** he played with the pouch in his hands, which contained diamonds maybe worth of trillions, as he walked into the room **
V
** he noticed his boss kíssing someone with a guard beside the door **
V
** weird - he thought, why would he only have one guard if he wanted to give a exhibition**
V
** ignoring that he just cleared his throat to gain attention**
HyunJae
** he was about to curse at the disturbance when he saw his ace standing there with a proud glint **
HyunJae
V ** he cheered happily as he sat back on his seat **
HyunJae
Tell me does that bag contain what I'm expecting** he was excited and that was visible in his eyes **
** People who knew HyunJae were aware that the sin emotions were displayed in his eyes transparently**
V
If you're talking about those diamond which worth I don't know how many trillions then I guess you're right ** he playfully threw the pouch at him when he heard a thud**
V
** he then noticed the girl. She was almost top nàked, if a loose brà barely covering anything is counted.
But her face....
She was blank, nothing on her face, arousal? Misery? Nothing**
V
** he admitted her being a beauty, unable to tear his gaze away. He just walked towards her **
V
** she showed no expression when he stood in front of her **
V
** so he bent down removing his jacket, as he covered her with it**
Lee Harin
** her eyes flickered due to the sudden warmth**
Lee Harin
** she stared at the figure in front of her, doing nothing**
Lee Harin
** she felt fingers on her back, hoóking up her brà, and then her hands were guided in the jacket in which she was zipped**
Lee Harin
** but her senses had gone too numb to process or hear what is happening around her **
Lee Harin
** she wanted to ask but the words weren't forming in her mind**
Lee Harin
** But she had a hope suddenly**
Lee Harin
** Her body disobeyed her wish to hold onto the figure, but her eyes prayed to him in the desperate way they can **
V
Who is she boss ** he asks when he finally covers her with jacket **
V
** he felt his heart constricting at the gaze but he just zipped her up and walked away**
Lee Harin
** seeing the figure going away, her eyes resumed the tears, she suddenly felt so tired that even turning her head seemed impossible to her. **
Lee Harin
** so she just zoned out staring at the floor**
HyunJae
Oh her… She's his girlfriend** he said pointing to Seung with his one hand while other held diamonds**
V
What is happening here ** he asked confused**
HyunJae
Oh! he let me have her for a night in exchange in the entry of the inner circle.
V
** he was shocked listening to the reason. Instead of working his way up that disgustiñg shít gave away her. Literally HER!! **
V
** his eyes trailed back to her lost figure. She sat in the same position he left her, staring into the empty space. He understood that she is probably traumatized**
V
Boss, can I have her to myself** he asks knowing that he would never get a no for his request seeing how much he had bought with him. The last time he was interested in a girl was back around 3 years ago which didn't work out at the end. But now he had a beauty to take**
HyunJae
Too bad I wanted to have her for at least one time, but since you gave me such a good gift today, she's yours.
HyunJae
** he was so happy with the diamonds that he just allowed him**
V
** he just sat down in front of her, catching her features**
V
** dark pupils and swollen eyes staring into nothingness, her dark brown locks messed up a little**
V
** his eyes trailed to her lips, a little lip balm was smudged around them, his possessiveness kicking in and for a second he wanted to punch his boss for touching her, he noticed her cheeks having tear stains, he understood that they were the aftermath of betrayal.
He just picked her up in bridal style as he carried her out of the room **
Alluring darkness
Lee Harin
** her whole surrounding were whirling to her, every time she became aware her surroundings were changed, but it seemed like her awareness was teasing her.
Coming and disappearing easily and leaving her numb again. **
Lee Harin
** after all her existence had become a joke for her, what can she expect from herself now**
Lee Harin
** her surroundings kept moving around her till she felt herself being placed**
Lee Harin
** the similar feeling of couch and the same coloured ceiling made her feel calm **
Lee Harin
** the thought of being back at her home overwhelmed her **
Lee Harin
** but she felt a whisper in her head**
V
** he brought her to his house, thinking what to do which can bring her out of her trauma
V
** but the whole way she was blank,
when he made her sit in the car, or when he carried her out of it. **
V
** Blank. She barely blinked, it felt as if her consciousness had left her leaving her as a perfect puppet without any emotions.
He just thought what can be done to make her snap out of it **
V
** he laid her on the couch.
And took a minute to see her. **
V
** he hovered over her wishing her to scream, but she didn't even looked at him, she stared at the ceiling with her face stoic**
V
** he pondered what to do, not knowing anything he just leaned in to whisper**
V
It's okay to cry, you're safe now....
Lee Harin
** she thought why would she cry, it's her home, her safe place **
V
** he cleared her face by pushing her locks away, as he whispered more clearly**
V
No one will touch you now.... Nothing will happen to you....
Lee Harin
** Touch...
The word brought her the events in the picture**
V
I'm here, by your side...
Lee Harin
** but her consciousness had returned drowning her in the betrayal blocking the words which can actually help her **
Lee Harin
** she remembered the look Seung gave her, how much she had begged him and he stood there witnessing her misery**
Lee Harin
** tears choked her as they finally descended her cheek, again staining them **
V
** he felt relieved seeing the tears, bottling up her emotions would only lead her to depression and he wouldn't want that**
Lee Harin
** her teary vision showed her someone hovered over her, she pushed him with all her might, fearing the same events**
Lee Harin
STAY AWAY FROM ME ** she shouted in despair as she hugged and cornered herself in fear**
V
** he just groaned a little from the pain, the push has inflicted on his back.**
Lee Harin
Please leave me, I beg you please ** she just begged as she cried more, not wanting to face any of the past events again**
V
I won't do anything to you, I swear I saved you don't worry ** his voice came out soft surprising him too **
Lee Harin
Please just let me go I beg you** she rubbed her palms wanting to hide away in despair**
V
Where will you go if I let you go ** he sat on the floor in front of her not wanting to scare her by touching her**
Lee Harin
I... I.. ** no words came out of her mouth because she knew her safe place had just abandoned her**
Lee Harin
WHY! ** she wailed out in her misery, rubbing her lips with force as the disgusting touches lingered there **
Lee Harin
I don't want it ** she rubbed vigorously making her skin turn red due to the force **
V
** he immediately grabbed her hands pinning them on the couch **
V
Are you Stupid ** he held her face forcing her to face him **
What will you get by hurting yourself, Tell Me
Lee Harin
I don't want them please, let me just... Remove them, it's suffocating please
** her eyes twinkled with tears in them making his heart clench **
V
** he could feel his eyes tearing as she begged him more **
V
Do you want to take a shower or I can get a bath ready for you** he tried again with his soft voice **
Lee Harin
Please.... I can't live with these .... Just please.....
V
Promise me you won't do anything to yourself till I get it ready.
** he held her by her chin, staring at the her broken soul through her eyes **
Lee Harin
** she reciprocated the stare and answered with a nod **
V
** he went to get a bath ready for her. **
Lee Harin
** She just hugged herself as she cried more.
How she was excited to surprise her boyfriend who just gave her up for his greed.
Now she is in someone else's room in a vulnerable state **
Lee Harin
** She has nowhere to go now, the home which was her happiness would always remind her of the betrayal.
Of how Seung kept standing there when she begged him, how he had just solved it with a sorry thinking if it would be enough for compensation. **
Lee Harin
** she was stripped of her dignity by someone whom she loved **
V
** he filled the tub with warm water, checking it again and again to ensure that she relaxes **
V
** he wished that he had something to make it fancier to make her feel a little better at least, but he wasn't someone using bathbombs and things, how he would've knew that someday he would doing it for a girl to be precise...**
V
** he went to his closet, taking out a comfortable set for her to wear**
V
** seeing everything is ready he went back to her, finding her shivering in the same position with more tears **
Lee Harin
** the voice broke her chain of stupid thoughts **
Lee Harin
Easy for you to say when you don't know the feeling** she wiped her tears loathing her feelings more **
V
** he picked her up again in bridal style taking her to bathroom**
Lee Harin
** she had lost all her strength already in crying, now all she could wish is that this guy just doesn't repeat those actions**
V
** he placed her in the tub gently**
V
Don't stay in water for long, the clothes are behind you ** pointing to the slab ** call me if you need anything. ** saying that he left **
Lee Harin
** she didn't answer, she just felt water seeping in through her clothes, the comfort slipping in with those memories too **
Lee Harin
** all she could think of was her memories of yesterday. They made lové with passíon, he held her with so much love.
She believed he loved her truly, maybe she lacked somewhere that made her so cheàp to be thrown away this easily. **
Lee Harin
** she felt light in the water, feeling that she's floating**
Lee Harin
** her eyes closed at the pleasing sensation, immersing herself fully in water **
Lee Harin
** her hands slipped of from the edges of the tub, as her mind focuses on the silence of **
Lee Harin
** the calm sounds made her feel light **
Lee Harin
** the pleasing numbness covering her, as the water sounds calm her to slip away more **
Lee Harin
** and like this she drifts in the alluring darkness where her consciousness fades away **
