Kaen

Glen wakes up in the middle of the night. He lays in a big bed in an unknown room. He tries to move and then he notices that he is chained. Glen slowly sits on the bed.

In the corner of the room, he sees a silhouette of a man. The man comes closer to him. Glen recognizes him. His name is Kaen. Kaen Liang. Tall and handsome, with dark hair and dangerous look, always dressed in an elegant way.

"Long time no see, Glen."

Kaen smirks. Glen is trembling. Kean was always scary, but this time, he looks like he could kill him.

"Are you scared now?"

Silence.

"Answer me!"

Kaen is standing very close to him. Too close. He lifts Glen's chin and kisses him. Kiss is passionate. Glen loses his breath. Then Kaen stops.

"You are still bad at it," he says. Kaen looks a little calmer than before but still furious. "Tell me, Glen, why did you leave that day?"

Glen doesn't respond. He looks frightened.

"You don't want to talk with me. Good. Will punishing you takes better effect?"

He turns around and leaves the room. Glen is relieved, but only for a moment. Kaen comes back... With whip in his hand.

Glen knows what is going to happen next.

"I... I'm sorry... Please forgive me... I won't leave you the second time," Glen begs while crying.

Kaen throws whip on the floor. He pushes Glen on the bed.

"If you do something like this next time, I will have to use the whip. You understand?"

Glen nods hesitantly. Kean says something more, but he doesn't hear it. He faints.

Next day.

Glen is laying in the same bed, in the same room, with the same chains. Only one thing changed. Kaen is laying beside him. He cuddles him. Just like nothing happened at night. Glen moves.

"Don't move," says Kaen with his frightening voice.

"Yes... I won't."

"Why did you become so shy? Am I that scary?"

Kaen sits on the bed. Now Glen sees his expression. He is angry like yesterday night.

"Say, do you love me?"

Glen is in silence. He doesn't want to respond to him. Kaen always knows when he is lying.

"Do you hate me?"

Still nothing. Kean looks a bit happier, but only for a while. He grabs Glen's chin and kisses him. This time Glen doesn't hesitate.

"I'm asking you second time. Do you love me?"

Kaen looks at his eyes. Glen doesn't know what to do. He doesn't want to cry. He will get punished, because of that.

"I... love you."

Kaen smiles. Only a little, but Glen realize that.

"Can you release me? Please... This chin hurts me."

"I won't. If you don't like it that much I can give you a collar. Everybody will know that you are mine."

Glen starts to cry. He hates this side of Kaen. Sometimes when he gets angry, he treats Glen like his slave. What's the worst, after some time he acts caring and loving like nothing happened.

This time is different. He can't calm down. Glen thinks that he won't go back to how he used to be, because if what took place half of the year ago.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"Why? Don't you remember what happened six months ago?"

"I..."

"Don't think you can run away from me again. If you even try, I will break your legs."

Glen wants to run away. To leave. However, he knows that if he only tries to do it, he won't be loved ever again.

"I will be obedient. I will listen to you. Just, please... Don't stop loving me..."

"I promise."

Kaen hugs him and kisses his forehead in a gentle way. Glen smiles but keeps sobbing.

"Stop it. You look ugly when you cry."

"I can't."

"Why?"
