A PROMISE MADE

He closed his eyes firmly his figure shaky. Just the moment he was about to take his second foot off the ridge, two strong arms hugged his waist tightly pulling him back. His small figure swirled like he weights nothing
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Leave Me
He screamed loud trying to get off the grip
???
???
Are you sick?
Latter shouted too. Taking him to ground, opponent laid him on his stomach holding both his wrists tightly pinning on his back
???
???
What the fúck do you think you were doing
Latter said holding the refractory kid
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Let go of me
Minho screamed his lungs out
???
???
Fine, Only if you don't try to do this shit again
Minho didn't respond, tears shedding from his welled up swollen eyes. Latter slowly let go of his hands taking a step back conscious of his moves
Minho laid there like a dead for a few seconds and finally turned to see. It was a familiar face? The boy he bumped into when he visited the stríp club first time? A ... Stríppér?
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Are you Okay?
Han asked softly
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Will you try to commit suicíde if you were fine?
Minho screamed his lungs out his hands shaky in his lap. A Thunderbolt ran across the sky, and it suddenly started to pour, but both men were silently sitting there. Minho was sitting on his back almost laying while Han was on his knees

Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
You've no idea what they did to me
He screamed hysterically again
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Yes I don't know what they did
Han answered in same loud manner
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
But I'm still I'm saying stop
He looked in Minho's eyes
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
If they've hurt you, you think killing yourself will affect them? Taking your life will affect a person who didn't hesitate to break you, make you end your life
His voice became soft
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
It will do nothing to them, but your loved ones. You have a family? Remember how will they feel when they'll hear what you did? Parents? How will they survive hearing their son committed súicíde. You're going to make them think their love wasn't enough for their son
His words were making Minho cry even more. He lowered his head crying hard
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Why would they do this
He screamed his lungs out
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Why?
Han didn't say anything, just patiently waited for him to gather himself. Time passed and passed, rain soaking them all but who cared
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Come with me
Han slowly got up to his feet
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
No
Minho shook his head aggressively
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
I don't believe anyone. Not you no one else. Leave me Here
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I don't believe you either
Han said gruffly
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I don't believe if you'll not try to end your life after I leave
He didn't move an inch
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Why'd you care?
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I do fúckíng care, don't you understand
His voice raised louder than Minho this time. Minho looked up at his with no expression, no expectations. Purely nothing. Han took a loud deep breath
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Try to understand. I swear I won't even touch you kid. Just come with me
Han said taking a step back assuring him that he was not a bad person. Minho didn't believe him, he just cannot,
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I swear to my late parents kid, I swear I won't do anything to you
Han sat on his paws looking deep in Minho's eyes and said something in his voice held that strong essence of truth. He can't swear lie on his parents. Can he? Can anyone?
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Pro-Promise
Minho's lips moved in a shiver. The fear inside his voice broke something inside Han. He nodded in tiny
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I promise
He raised his tiny finger in air and rose up again. From the moment he pulled the kid till now, he truly was never unaware of him. He was ready to grab the kid if he tries to run or jump off again. He just ... Can't leave him
Minho slowly got up of the ground, his arms wrapping his body strongly. He was shivering with cold, but he can't care about it much. Han walked behind him keeping a respectful distance. Walking down the building, Han walked past him to grab the umbrella he dropped in panic, when he saw the kid running inside the building
Han hovered the umbrella over younger's head silently walking beside him, he himself soaking wet. Minho didn't look at him. He didn't want to see anything. Only if he can be blind, and deaf, and numb and ... DEAD
A few minutes later, they reached a cab stand. Han stopped a cab. The driver was generous enough to let them in with soaking clothes. Han chose to sit on the second seat opening the back seat door for Minho. Minho silently sat in
City lights started to pass through his eyes as the cab drove above
Random Worker
Random Worker
You shouldn't be walking in rain kids, your parents must be worried
The driver said softly
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I don't have any
Han's voice was slow and steady. For the very first time, Minho looked at him. He was watching out of the windshield, his side profile visible. The steady rhythm of his eyes blinking and his Adams Apple bobbing with each swallow, he was lost in thoughts
Random Worker
Random Worker
I'm so sorry
Driver immediately apologized. Han turned to driver and immediately shook his head stretching a polite smile
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
No, No ... It's okay
He said with a tiny bow of head. Minho looked away out of the window. Why would a strange save him? And most probably ... A Stríppér?
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
We're here
He snapped out of his thoughts realizing, cab have stopped and Han was opening the door for him. Stepping out silently, he felt chilly air freezing his existence. He rubbed his hands slightly as Han paid the fair
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Come
With his polite voice, he gestured Minho to walk behind him. Walking up the slim staircase was a door to a tiny apartment. Old but livable. Minho stopped at the main door for a second before getting inside
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I'll ... Prepare warm water and some clothes for you
Han said a little nervous about how to start a stable conversation. Giving Minho a towel, he walked to the bathroom which Minho looked around
Apartment was small but well managed. A small hall, a room next to it, an open kitchen aside and a small way to probably a terris or something
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
The water's warm, you can take a bath
Han said handing him a pair of his clothes
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I'll prepare something to eat until then
He softly stated
Minho silently grabbed the dress walking to the bathroom. Warm water was running down his body, his eyes started to well up again. He let his tears wash over his eyes
Han only changed and prepared food for Minho. He waited for him with patience but deep inside he was still worried. What if he does something to himself across the closed door
Tiny click of door broke his tension as Minho walked out of bathroom, looking even tiny in his dress. He looked at Han and immediately away
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Food is ready
Han shortly said gesturing to a chair
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
I'm ... Not hungry
Minho answered reluctantly
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
I just ... Want to sleep
His voice shook a little feeling a limp in his throat
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Just eat a little please
Han didn't walk to him. He hardly took this boy. Never in this world will he break his slight believe over him
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Just a few bites. I prepared noodles too. It's warm and will help with cold
Something in his voice and eyes made Minho stay silent. After a moment of hesitation, he walked to the little dining taking a seat. Han sat across him serving him
Minho took the chopsticks taking a bite of noodles. Han holding his chopsticks was looking for a reaction but all he got was silence
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Is it okay?
Han asked politely. Minho nodded in tiny and took another bite. His body after a long time of was worshiping every bite of food getting inside. His eyes started to gather salt water again, his hands little shaky
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
It's Okay
Han whispered gently looking at his face
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Just eat, and I'll prepare bed for you Stop thinking about what's already happened
He was consoling him in a low voice and Minho was crying eating food
What if he has already killed himself? Han was right. Wasn't his parent's love enough for him to live. But still, the things happened to him were nothing less than hell already
He didn't eat a lot, neither a little amount. He ate until he felt his body has got enough of energy. Leaning back in chair he wiped his eyes with his sleeves
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
You can sleep now
Han said politely walking to the room passing the opened door. Minho walked behind him as Han gestured him to sleep on the bed. There was another mattress on the floor on the other corner of room, probably for Han himself. Minho sat on bed silently
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Good Night
Han said walking out of room with a smile. He has to do dishes and maybe other work. Minho laid down pulling the surrounding sheets
His visit to Tokyo was a dream, but reality was turned to nightmare. He wished he sleeps and when he wakes up, it's his parents looking at him and console him that 'it's Okay, it was just a bad dream'
His eyes were fixed on the glass window, seeing the pouring rain and the thunderstorm, lightning strikes lighting up the room every few seconds
NovelToon
When Han walked in, Minho was still awake, half laid crossing his arms around him strongly hugging the covers
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
You're still awake. Is it because of the thunder noise?
He asked concerned sitting on the other mattress. Minho shook his head
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Are you still hungry?
Han immediately stood up again
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
You want anything else to eat?
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
No
Minho spoke this time shaking his head. Han looked at him confused
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Sleep
Han sat back silently
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Is the duvet enough? Are you feeling cold?
He can't stop worrying
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Are you ... A ... A Stríppér?
Minho asked looking in his eyes. Han wasn't expecting this sudden question, but he didn't mind either
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Yes
He answered with a nod
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
You...
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
Yeah! I strip, sell my body, do nasty things to earn money
Han said leaning with the wall behind him
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
But I swear, my work life is apart from my personal life. I won't even touch you without your consent
He said politely
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
And ... What about people who ... Doesn't care about ... Consent?
Minho's question hung heavy in the air. Han couldn't answer. His head screeching what could happen to this boy to question like this. He started to stairs his hands
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
A person who doesn't care about your consent ... Is probably writing his own fate to Wreck. Because when you leave it to Karma, Karma tear 'em to pieces, a way nobody can collect himself again
Han spoke slowly, but as he finished and look up, he saw boy already drifted off to sleep
A small smile appeared on his fate as he slowly stood up and fixed the duvet on younger trying best not to wake him, up. Standing next to Minho's bed he bent down placing his hands on his knees looking at him
Han Jisung
Han Jisung
I'll prey to God little one. May you have mental peace
He said closing his eyes with an Amen and walked back to his bed. After making sure younger was Okay, he soon slept soundly
Dim rays of sunshine made him stir as he opened his eyes finding the bed empty. His eyes opened with, panic building up. he immediately got up running out of the room, but Minho was nowhere
He paused, there was a small paper on the dining table
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
I won't try to kill me again. Thank You for everything ~Minho
Han sat on a chair and sighed. So, he was gone silently. A small smile appeared on his face as he tossed the paper on the dining again. He has a routine, routine of work eat sleep and ... Live Alone

He looked up the building. He was terrified, of getting in, getting in the building, the elevator, the room. His eyes started to redden with fear and anxiety. Tucking his hands in hoodie, he lowered his head and walked in
He has to take his passport and just get out of this place, this building, this city and this country. Just get back to people who loved and protected him for 18 years. Walking to the elevator, his legs were getting numb. The memories of his last time getting in an elevator and ...
He sighed deeply, his eyes red face heating up with terror. Pressing the button of specific floor, he stood in the corner like a tiny dummy. The moment elevator ding and the doors parted, a figure walked in making Minho bump in him
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
S-Sorry
Minho took a step back but the moment he saw the face, his eyes went wide
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
S-Seungmin
His lips moved, his feet stepping back in terror. Seungmin looked surprised and then amused. Minho looked across Seungmin's face. Far very far, it was ...
Lee Min Ho
Lee Min Ho
Hyunj-
He screamed but before he can call properly Seungmin placed a hand on his mouth. The doors ding closing again. Minho red teary eyes were fixed on Hyunjin's figure that disappeared behind the closed door
