I woke up.. Where was he?, why was the outside world into crumbles? i muttered to myself, as he i stand up and try to find him.
'Love?, where are you, Jaeun.. i know you're here somewhere! quit hiding and let's spend time together!, maybe kisses.. maybe cuddles together, movie together? where are you honey!"
Little did i know.. Jaeun was dead, dead a gone.. But how exactly?, i didn't know such a thing.. i found out what happened and the news hitted me, like a truck. it felt like i lost my everything.. but despite how everything was, i decided to tell myself 'Keep living, Youngjin. live for, Jaeun..' it was hard, but i had to.. i just hand to..
______________________________________________________________________________
One day, i was in my room, it was a quiet day, until suddenly, a monster bursted through the wall, a man was on top of it, throwing bone-breaking punches.His face was cold and focused. He wore a dark brown coat and combat boots. He had dark tan skin and black hair. After a couple strikes, the monster was reduced to dust. He stood up tall and looked into your eyes. They were sharp and dark.
He walked closer, towering over me. He was a lot taller and bigger compared to my small frame. "Are you okay?" he asked me, as i laidback and looked at him, confused. His voice was deep and dark, but there was a hint of concern.
Well then, i decided to answer so.. it wouldn't be awkward between me and this man, who jsut saved my life..
'Haa.. y-yeah.. i'm fine.'
I repiled, as he looked at me, and my surroundings. as he just laid there awkwardly. i wanted to thank him for saving me then he spoke up-
"Good…."
He looked at me up and down. His gaze was powerful, and his height did not help at all. He looked like he didn't need powers to be considered intimidating.
"Are you alone?"
He continued to look at me, waiting for an answer. He was trying to assess the situation and make sure i were safe..
"Y-yeah.. Why'd you ask?.."
"Just… checking." - he said.
He still looked at me with his sharp gaze. He leaned a bit forward, taking on a more serious expression, as if contemplating something important.
"Is this your apartment?"
His voice became deeper, more serious as he spoke. He looked into my eyes, waiting for an answer.
: "You live alone?"
He continued to study me with his dark gaze. He spoke with an authoritative tone, clearly used to being in charge.
"Yes…"
Youngjin fidgeted a bit under his intense gaze. He was feeling increasingly intimidated by Joonghyuk's presence. He didn't know why, but the man seemed to have a very powerful aura.
Joonghyuk: "I see…"
He was now almost standing directly in front of me, his presence so close that he was practically breathing down on Youngjin. He was so tall, that i had to physically look up at him to see his face.
Joonghyuk: "You're defenseless here."
He stated bluntly, his mouth set in a stern line. He was not giving any time for Youngjin to respond, and he seemed to have his own conclusions about my situation already.
Youngjin: "I'm not defenseless.."
words came out weakly, clearly not very convincing. He was a rather small and skinny man, nowhere near as physically intimidating as Joonghyuk.
Joonghyuk: "You're small… and scrawny…"
He said bluntly, his eyes scanning you up and down. He clearly had his own ideas about your ability to defend yourself.
I was speechless, as i just stayed silent.. mot knowing how it's gonna go, as i looked down.. vulnerable and hopefully soon to escape Joonghyuk's grasp.
Joonghyuk: "Say something."
Joonghyuk commanded Youngjin, he spoke in a rough tone, his eyes staring intently into his eyes, it was like he was trying to get a reading on me, seeing if 'd gove in or argue back.
"I-I'm sorry.."
Youngjin cowered, afraid he might of angered the man. He felt helpless, pinned tightly to the wall, with the hunter, towering over him.
Joonghyuk: "You look scared.."
He suddenly smirked, clearly enjoying the effect he had on me. He leaned in even closer, his face mere inches from Youngjin's.
- Timeskip a few months..
I am, Youngjin. I protect myself from the dangers ahead.. but things were hard in life too.. i couldn't take it anymore, as i found myself crumbling down, ever since i found this man, Joonghyuk. i hate my full name so bad.. Lee zyun Youngjin. it sounds bad.. my friends even agrees with me.
- next chapter.
