Chapter 2

Later that evening, Han sat on the couch when Sara came in. She threw herself down on the couch next to him and Han stiffened.

- Why are you so tense Han? Sara wonders.

T- here are many reasons. I'm going to live all summer, at someone's house I don't know. Both my parents would get a beating if they knew I was here.

Sara puts a hand on his shoulder and looks at him.

- Honestly now. Why are you so stressed?

Han turned his head and looked out the window, there's a huge swimming pool outside.

- I know\, she smiled. All you want to do is empty it and skate on the bottom\, right?

- How did you know?

- Because I know you\, but now I want you to answer the question.

- I don't belong here\, with you and Minho in this house. It feels completely crazy.

- I know\, but give it time and it will feel better\, I promise. Now it's time to go to bed and then we'll start again tomorrow.

Han nods and they head towards their own bedrooms.

The next day, Han is sitting on one of the loungers by the pool with a sketchpad in his lap, he's sketching a pair of wings. Suddenly someone comes and sits next to him.

- Hey\, what are you doing? Minho asks.

- Ahh\, nothing special\, Han answers and closes his pad.

Minho doesn't push, but understands that Han isn't comfortable showing what he's created.

- Sara asked me to go through the checklist with you. She thought it might be better if you did it with another guy. Go through the list\, Minho winked.

- A checklist?

- A good dominant goes through a checklist with their partner before they do anything kinky. That way\, the dominant already knows in advance what the submissive likes and doesn't like\, and you don't have to have anxiety attacks in the middle of a game. For example\, you don't want to put an old prisoner of war in a cramped little cage.

- Maybe not\, Han nods.

- Should we go into the pool house instead? There are many sides and the sun is very warm now\, it's cooler inside.

Han nods and they both get up and go into the pool house, where there isn't much furniture inside. A two-seater sofa and a TV stand.

- I've just renovated so there isn't much furniture yet\, Minho says and sits on the sofa. Sit down.

Han looks at the sofa but decides to sit on the floor in front of Minho, befitting a submissive. Once again Minho stopped himself and stared so intensely that Han pulled his knees up to his chin and tucked his long hair behind his ears. It felt a little strange to be stared at like this, but still good.

- Yeah\, okay Minho muttered and took pen and paper out of his back pocket. It's not complicated\, just answer on a scale of one to five\, where one means it's as arousing as kissing grandma on the cheek and five means you're getting your pants on just thinking about it. Never mind if you've done it or not\, it ended up here if you want. The first category is six.

- Five\, Han answered immediately.

Minho grinned broadly.

- It was just the category but it's nice that you're so enthusiastic. By the way\, can I call you Hannie?

- Hannie?

- Yes\, Han feels so formal and I'm not very formal.

Han thought after, no one had called him anything other than Han except his dad who called him a nickname for a while when he was little, but that nickname was horrible and not something Han wants to think about.

- It'll be fine\, Han decided and smiled.

While Minho leafed through the pages, he muttered a few to himself

- Okay\, he finally continued on a scale of one to five\, how do you like vaginal sex?

- Five\, Han answered hesitantly. He didn't know if Minho would say anything if he knew Han was gay. He remembered when his parents found out he was gay and since then it's been hell. From his dad he had heard insults and harsh words like sick in the head and his mother turned her back on him. He didn't want Minho to do the same\, so he lied.

- I agree\, Minho replied after a while.

Han felt his stomach clench and at the same time felt that it was a good thing he lied.

- Oral sex?

- Five.

Minho looked at him for a while before continuing.

- Even better. Anal sex?

- Five\, Han answered honestly\, thinking he could tell he was bisexual if the subject came up again. He looked down at one of his wrists to double-check that his watch covered the scar.

- More than one partner?

- No\, just want to be with one.

- Then I guess threesomes are a no too.

Han nodded.

- Male partner?

Han turned around and looked at the floor for a long time before answering.

- He’s absolutely perfect\, Minho said as soon as he entered Sara’s room a little later.

- Did you go through the checklist?

- Yep\, your friend is unique and I’m in love.

- You’re not at all\, Minho\, you can’t last a relationship\, the longest was three weeks. You’ve also just met Han.

- So?

- And Bang Chan said Han is off limits.

- Why?

- How did the list go? interrupted Sara instead. Did anything come up that we can help him with?

Minho took out the list and sat down next to Sara on the bed.

- When it came to sex\, it was mostly five\, except for those with multiple partners.

- Mmm\, he's very shy.

- No direct fetishes\, like pissing.

- How lucky\, I don't know how I could help him with that.

- He likes the usual stuff. All forms of bondage and pain get fives. But this is a bit fishy\, Minho said and looked at the last page.

- What?

- He likes pain and submission\, but a big one for blood games with cutting and such.

Sara thought about the scars on Han's wrist and thought it wasn't so strange.

- I don't like bastinado myself\, I hate when someone does something to my feet\, Sara said to distract Minho. Han can tell Minho himself if he wants\, she thought.

- Okay\, then I know\, Minho said with a raised eyebrow. He doesn't like people raising their voices either.

Sara sighs and thinks it's probably because of the asshole of a father he has.

- And then one last thing about Hannie.

- Hannie?

- I call him that\, Han sounds so formal.

- Okay\, what's that?

- He said he likes vaginal sex\, but also that he can imagine a male partner. Is he bisexual?

- I know he's not straight\, Sara answered.

- Mmm\, Minho muttered and realized that Han hadn't been completely honest with all the questions.
