Juyeon Pov

I found myself curled up in bed shaking and it seemed to have increased as Youngjae neared me. "Are you okay?" I flinched at Youngjae's touch and felt a tear run down my face. "You'll be fine, though it's good that you don't have to work tomorrow. You're in no state to do that." Of course I wasn't. He was the reason why I was hurting, why I was shaking. "Are you hungry?" I couldn't bring myself to answer him in fear of another beating for anything taken out of context.

"You learn quick. Just for being so obedient, I'll make you your favorite dishes." I continued to remain silent and watched him leave the room. As much as I wanted to call someone, I felt that Youngjae was watching my every move. I've never felt so scared for my life. I wanted it to end. I wanted us to end.

I woke up in the dead of night feeling nothing but pain. I noticed that Youngjae was sleeping next to me as always. I wanted to leave, to go somewhere far, somewhere where Youngjae couldn't find me. I thought back to when I woke up alone in the hospital and how he came in claiming to be my boyfriend. I felt so happy then to know that someone was out there that wanted to help me get better. Now the one person I trusted, I felt I couldn't anymore.

I got out of bed as normally as I could and grabbed my phone before heading out the bedroom door. I pretended to be using the bathroom as I grabbed a jacket, my wallet and keys and headed out the door. I figured I could find my way to Jaehyun's if I back tracked from the flower shop. I knew I had to have lost my mind, roaming around outside late at night.

ㅏㅓㅏㅓㅏㅓㅏㅓㅏㅓ

I somehow made it to the flower shop unscathed then proceeded to remember what we did to get here. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice I was crossing against the light. I quickly stepped back in enough time to keep the incoming car from hitting me.

I slowed to a stop as I recognized the building being the same one we left from yesterday. I entered and decided to walk up the stairs. I reached the third floor and proceeded to ring his door bell, knowing full well they were probably asleep.

Jaehyun Pov

"Jae, I think you might want to come see this." I walked over to the front door and was surprised to see Juyeon asleep by the door. "Why are you just standing there? Bring him in!" We brought him in and laid him down on one of the beds. "Do you think he was there all night?" "He might've been..." I wanted to know why he was sleeping by our door, but I didn't want to wake him just yet. Juyeon's eyes fluttered open and he seemed to be looking around for something. "Juyeon, are you awake enough to answer questions?" I was surprised by the sudden hug from him then heard him groan in pain. I pulled away and noticed he was crying.

"Juyeon, what's wrong..." "I can't be with Youngjae anymore...He did this..." He lifted up his shirt and revealed a couple of dark marks and many scars, some looking newer than others. He slid up his sleeves and revealed numerous marks. "What the-" "Who the fuck does he think he is, abusing someone!?" I couldn't contain my rage as Juyeon didn't deserve such disgusting scars. "Jaehyun, calm down before you end up committing murder." "I swear if I ever see him again, he's going to be six feet under come the next day." I heard Younghoon sigh then whisper in my ear. "You're scaring Juyeon."

I looked over at Juyeon who seemed slightly fearful. "I'm sorry. Your body hurts doesn't it? Come, a warm bath should help." I guided Juyeon to the bathroom then started to head out to get him a towel. "Jaehyun." I turned around and noticed he looked a bit shy. "When you come back, could you undress me...?" "Are you comfortable with that?" "Yeah." "If that's what you want..." I left the bathroom and felt my face start to heat up. It wasn't that I haven't seen his body before, it was more of how he asked me.

I walked back in and set the towel and some clothes to the side. "Are you sure you're comfortable with me doing this?" "Yes." I helped him get undressed in the least painful way possible. "I'll put these with the laundry, so go ahead and get in." It took a lot of strength to keep myself from looking back at Juyeon. I started wondering if he had gotten in, so I glanced back and saw that he had. "Can you stay with me?" "Sure." I wasn't going to lie, needy Juyeon is cute.
