Chapter 1

Han met Sara at a club a year ago, after he managed to sneak out of his home the day after his 18th birthday. They have been best friends ever since, but it was no ordinary club they met at. It was a BDSM club and Sara had saved Han when he had ended up in a situation he did not want to be in. They had talked that night and Han had told Sara about his feelings and how worried he was. He had also told her about his mother and father. His father was very strict and did not hesitate to use physical punishment if necessary. He had left Han and his mother a few years ago, but it was considered that he still had the right to decide how they would live their lives. Han also mentioned his attempted suicide, which he had not talked to anyone else about before. Sara was a member of one of the city's safer BDSM clubs, SKZ, and introduced Han to the owner, Bang Chan, who immediately took Han under his wing and made sure that Han was safe at the club.

Sara tried to help Han as much as possible, but knew she wasn't the right person for this. She came up with a plan.

- Han\, do you want to come with me to my uncle Minho's house this summer and stay at his house for a few weeks this summer?

- I would love to\, but my mom and dad would never approve.

- Tell them you're going to a church camp.

- Do you think they would go for it?

- You can always try.

That same evening, Han talks to his mom and she's happy that Han wants to go and do something other than just stay at home, so she says yes.

Sara picks Han up when it's finally time to leave, they had said that Sara and Han had met during a church meeting so Han's mother didn't mind Han going with Sara. It would take about two hours to get to Sara's uncle. After a while they arrived and they drove up to a huge iron gate. Sara pressed a button on a post next to the gate and she heard Minho's voice.

- Finally you're here\, he said. I'll open the gate and you can drive up to the house.

The gates went up with a creaking sound and Sara continued up to the house, up close the house was very impressive. He thought it looked like a real fairytale castle. Sara turned to Han.

- I know you're interested in old houses.

Han nodded and became more grateful that Sara had invited him along. They arrived at the house and Sara parked and got out of the car while Han sat there, staring wide-eyed at the house. The front door opens and there stands a guy. Han looks out the window and straight at the guy, the most handsome guy he has ever seen. Sara turned to him and says:

- That's my uncle Minho.

- What? Han exclaims. Is that your uncle?

- Yes\, Sara answered. What did you expect\, an old bald guy? He's only five years older than us.

- Hi Sara\, Minho says as Sara walks up to him.

- Hi uncle.

- Oh please\, Minho said. You make me feel like I'm 80. Is that your friend you were talking about? Minho looks towards the car and Han.

- Mmm\, but like I said\, he's a bit quiet.

Minho nods and remembers the conversation that Sara and he had a week ago when they had talked on the phone. Han was quiet and had a tough time at home, but they had similar interests. Sara had also mentioned that the clubs they used to visit because Han was curious, but didn't know how to handle everything and that Han was now a member of their club. That was partly why Sara had chosen to stay with Minho, because she knew he was also a member of SKZ and might be able to guide Han.

- Han came now\, Sara said\, and Han nervously got out of the car.

- Hello\, he said quietly.

- Hello\, Minho replied. Come in and I'll show you your rooms.

Minho showed Han the room where he would sleep, Sara laughed when she saw the room.

- Haha\, you gave Han the room I had when I was little and slept in.

- What? Han sighed. Am I going to sleep in a children's room?

Sure, it was redone but it still feels strange. After Minho showed him the room, he and Sara went on to show Sara's room. He stood alone in the middle of the room and decided that it wasn't actually that bad after all, it seemed more like a suite than a room and quite impressive with a large double bed. There was a large bay window that looked out onto a huge pool. He fantasized about draining the pool of water and being able to skateboard in it.

- She's just messing with you.

Han turned around and saw Sara's uncle standing in the doorway. Never before had he met someone like Minho, someone so tall, handsome and muscular. His hair was quite long, but still styled in a way you only saw on male models with their own hair stylists.

- Sara\, clarify Mino when Han hasn't said anything. By mentioning that this was a children's room.

Han nodded and shoved his hands into his jeans pockets.

- She said you're not talkative and that wasn't an exaggeration.

Minho came in with Hans's bag over his shoulder, he himself can barely lift it but Minho barely seems to even notice the weight.

- Sorry.

Previously he had only managed a squeaky hello when they had arrived and got out of the car.

- It's okay\, Minho nodded\, liking it. One word is better than nothing.

Han tried to think of something to say that would interest a rich and handsome guy like Minho, but his head was empty.

- Should I put the bag on the bed?

- Sure.

Minho gave him a small stern look.

- Say something else or you won't get it.

- Sure the bed will be good\, Han managed to get out.

- Oh\, five words! Minho exclaimed while holding up five fingers.

Han laughs and blushes a little, Han holds up his own hand and shows four fingers.

- Thank you very much.

- You are welcome.

Then Han began to count his fingers and held up both hands.

- 10 words? Minho guessed and Han nodded.

- Thanks for letting me live here. The house is amazing.

- It's no problem\, Sara and her friends are always welcome here.

Han smiled.

- Do you like the room?

- It's really nice for a nursery.

- It's an old-fashioned English nursery\, that is\, one of a number of rooms where you hid the children\, but if it's wallpapered of course.

Han couldn't take his eyes off Minho even though he usually got a little scared by big muscles. His dad uses his size to scare and belittle other people, but Minho seems really nice and confident.

- When I had this room\, there was Noah's Ark on the wallpaper. I'm not religious\, but the Ark is about the end of the world\, isn't it?

- Yep\, Han nodded.

- In that case\, you can decorate with the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Han shrugged, looking at the elegant blue walls.

- Well\, kids usually like horses.

Minho stares at him before he starts laughing out loud.

- Sara didn’t tell me you were funny\, Minho said with a smile that was so happy and bright that it almost burned his eyes.

- I didn’t know I was funny.

- You are.

Minho was still staring and Han blushed a little. Han thought about the warning Sara had told him that Minho was dominant and decided that it had to be a dominant thing. Why would a guy like Minho and others look at him like that?

- Hope you’ll enjoy yourself here\, Minho said before leaving the room.

Han could finally let out the breath he had been holding. Was it a stupid thing to come here with Sara? She had said that she could help him sort out his thoughts and figure out what he really wanted and preferred within the sexual spectrum. Now Han wondered how it would work when they were in a big house with only three people.
