THIRD PERSON POV

Sunghoon was still watching and admiring the features of Sunoo. He admitted that Sunoo was beyond a normal beauty. When Sunoo's head
fell on Sunghoon's shoulder, he didn't bother to move him, instead, he settled him a bit for a more comfortable posture. The driver was also boring his eyes on his boss's weird behavior.

Sunghoon never let anyone be close, no one ever tried to say anything in front of him and the boy was an exception.. at least for some reason.

After a little more time, they reached Sunghoon's mansion and he lifted Sunoo's weak body and led him to a special room, or can say medical room. The room was filled with every piece of equipment required for emergency treatments. He laid Sunoo on the bed and in no time Jake entered the room while huffing,

"What the hell Sunghoon... I am gonna treat the same boy within a day? Why Him????" Jake was clearly angry as he had a soft corner for Sunoo and who can't have one? Sunoo was a bubbly boy to those who know him. Jake was sad and angry at the same time especially when he looked at the new set of injuries and wounded shoulder with a huge patch of blood.

"I helped him this time. That was his so-called father, that cruel bastard." Sunghoon made a disgusted face while mentioning Hwan but Jake didn't pay much attention to him as he rushed
towards Sunoo and said Sunghoon to leave the room.

Jake treated all of his wounds and stitched his injured shoulder but Sunoo's body was again heating up.

Jake quickly grabbed a towel and a bowl of cold water. Heeseung also watched him doing everything and also helped a bit, feeling all sorts of emotions by the day's events

"Heeseung hyung , he lost so much blood, I am afraid he will be weak when he is gonna wake up," Jake said in a very concerned tone as he placed a wet towel on Sunoo's forehead.

"Don't worry Jaeyun, he will be fine. I will try my best to take care of him."
Heeseung placed his hand on Jake's
shoulder in assuring way while giving him his signature dimple smile.

"Wait! He is gonna stay here?" Curiosity, anger, sadness, and frustration were clear on his face when Heeseung simply nodded in reply.

"But why?" Jake again questioned, too bothered by the new revelation.

"Than own him now. His father sold him to Than for 40 million." Heeseung chuckled bitterly at the end, people are really greedy sometimes.

"That bastard... Heeseung please.. do
something.. this kid doesn't deserve this much. He needs love and care." Jake's eyes were getting filled with tears as he was feeling Sunoo's pain and suffering.

"Don't worry, Jaeyun I will make sure to
take care of him...for you." Heeseung assured with a warm smile as he wiped Jake's tears and the older also smiled at the gentle gesture.

"You can rest here and if you didn't eat then tell me, andI will bring dinner for you. If you wanna eat here or..." Heeseung stopped when Jake shook his head and told him that he wasn't hungry and wanted to stay with Sunoo. After that Heeseung left the room and went to Sunghoon's room.

"Come in." Sunghoon's muffled voice was heard from inside and Heeseung entered the room. Sunghoon was wearing a black bathrobe, his hair was wet, aw clenched with a slight frown on his face. He looked up at Heeseung with a cocked eyebrow.

"Ahm... I-I just wanted to ask if you need something or." Heeseung stopped

"What do you want? Is it about that boy?" Sunghoon had known Heeseung since he joined the mafia after his father and he knew everything about him.

Heeseung wasn't the person who trailed off while speaking and whenever he do so, there must be something.

"Than. I was just curious, why you bought him? For such a big amount?" Sunghoon heard the question and then he shrugged his shoulders while sitting on his bed casually.

"I don't know, he is pretty handsome. Maybe, I can send him to auction or send him to our club as a stripper. I am sure the rich bastards can pay more than you can't even imagine." An evil smirk was playing on his lips and after hearing Sunghoon's answer,

Heeseung became tensed but he didn't
say a word and left the room with a heavy heart.

-

It was already morning but Sunoo was still out. His fever was better than before as Jake spent his whole night taking care of him but he fell asleep in the morning on the chair in a very uncomfortable posture. Heeseung was the first one to wake up in the morning and he visited Sunoo. When he saw Jake in a very uncomfortable position, he thought for a second and then carefully picked him up and settled him on the couch. Luckily Jake didn't wake up as he was so much tired after the whole night.

Sunoo groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. It took a little time to register the present. His mind started giving him flashbacks of hurtful moments from the previous night, hurting his soul. He tried to get up but a loud whimper left his lips as he unconsciously put his weight on the injured shoulder. Heeseung was still in the room, on hearing the whimper, he
rushed to help Sunoo.

"Easy boy," Heeseung said while helping Sunoo to sit. The red-haired looked at him as fear was clear in his eyes. Heeseung noticed that too and knew the reason as well. It wasn't the boy's fault, he definitely was traumatized.

"Don't be afraid. I am not going to hurt you. Just relax." Heeseung said in a soft tone but Sunoo scooted farther from hin, his gaze filled with just horror. Then his eyes fell on Jake who was sleeping and in sleep he took a sharp turn and was about to fall but Heeseung being quick, rushed to grab him making Sunoo surprised. He
was surprised because he thought that every person in the mafia must be heartless just like that Than.

Jake woke up after that jolt but he got
a call from the hospital and after checking Sunoo he left. Sunoo wanted him to stay but he didn't say so as he knew that he can't disturb him

_

The three days passed as he spent most part of the day crying silently.

Heeseung visited him a few times Only Heeseung visited him a few times
as he brought breakfast, lunch, and

dinner for him and made him take
medicines. Heeseung told him that
Sunghoon was abroad for busines and Sunoo was mentally thankful for that. He didn't want to face him.

His wounds were healing, all thanks to Jake who was visiting him every day and that was the best part of the day for Sunoo when he feel that he can finally breathe. Jake just talk about some random stuff, his day in the hospital, and some dad jokes.. of course. Sunoo smile a bit with Jake but whenever he left, his smile dropped from his face.

He didn't leave the room for once, too
much afraid to face mafia men. He
didn't talk to anyone too, not having
the courage to do so.
It was evening when Heeseung almost
rushed into the room.

"THAN is calling for you. Come with me.
Quickly!" Heeseung said in hurry and Sunoo visibly gulped at the thought of facing that Sunghoon.

Somehow he gathered his mental strength and finally left the room. He passed through many corridors and then Heeseung stopped in front of a room.

Sunoo was too much afraid to even look up when they entered the room after a knock.

The room was black-themed, all the
furniture and even the wallpapers were black. Everything was black, just
like his aura... Sunoo thought to himself.

"You can go Heeseung," Sunghoon said
as he was going through some papers
and Heeseung quickly left leaving a
panicked Sunoo behind. He didn't
look up until Sunghoon finally broke

the silence.

"Kim Sunoo. Previously worked at cafes and nightclubs. Mother deceased
Father... Well. Fathers.."

Sunghoon chuckled at the end but his smile turned into a very dark expression when Sunoo showed no interest in his Words.

"Look at me when I am talking," Sunghoon growled in a low tone, sending shivers to Sunoo but Sunoo being stubborn didn't look up and finally Sunghoon lost his temper as he moved towards him, harshly holding Sunoo's chin to make him look up.

"Can't you hear?" Sunghoon leaned forward while boring his eyes to Sunoo's face but soon he backed up, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

"Well, you should be thankful that I saved you from your father. I spend a huge amount of money on you so, in turn, I want something from you. Till then you can stay in another room. No talking with others and if you ever try to run... believe me I won't miss my money, not for a single second" Sunghoon explained his terms in a low, threatening tone. Sunoo was looking at him with confusion, he wasn't sure if he should speak or not but he decided to remain silent.

"What else you can do?" Sunghoon asked as he was again moving to his table but looked back at Sunoo who was standing like a statue. Sunghoon was getting angry about his behavior and silent treatment so, he broke a vase on the floor with full force making Sunoo jump in surprise.

"I asked something from you! Damn it! "
Sunghoon yelled harshly and Sunoo started shaking as his tears were falling on his cheeks in an instant making Sunghoon smirk while seeing him so terrified of him.

"I-I can make -- dr- drinks and cof- coffee an-d can do the cleaning with some- some cooking." Sunoo was sobbing but managed to speak after taking choked breaths.

"Good. Then go and make a drink for me, I need a strong one. I hope you know what I mean." Sunghoon said with a cold tone and with that Sunoo left only to meet with Heeseung who guided him to a room full of drinks well we can say wines and lots of expensive alcoholic beverages. Sunoo chose the strong one and knocked on Sunghoon's room.

After permission, he entered with a drink and settled it on the table, and was about to leave when his eyes fell on Sunghoon who was rolling his gun like a toy. Sunghoon yanked him by his arm causing Sunoo to whimper lowly as the force was too strong for his injured shoulder.

Sunghoon loosened his grip on realization, still keeping a cold gaze at the other with a relatively soft grip,

Sunoo was still shaking, feeling intense fear just by the grip on his arm but he thought to try a bit.

"Mr. Park Pl- please let me go. I- I will
pay you. I-" Sunoo was cut off when Sunghoon threw the wine on his face after jerking his hand away. Sunoo gasped at the sudden action.

"Did you forget... your father sold you to me for 40 million. 40 MILLION ! arrange this much money but the whole dark environment and the mansion were suffocating him. He can't see blood and guns... things that changed his life to this more pathetic version.

"Now, get out," Sunghoon muttered as he waved his hand to dismiss Sunoo, and finally the younger left the room with a heavy heart. He was rubbing his eyes when he bumped into Someone.

"Oh my! Who are you?" The boy asked but the latter didn't reply reminding himself of Sunghoon's words.

"I got it. You must be that boy. Well, I am Nishimura Ri-ki and I am more like a butler." The boy named Ni-ki chuckled while stretching his hand which Sunoo finally accepted with a shaking hand.

"Sun- Sunoo." That's all he said when Ni-ki leaned a bit to see Sunoo's swollen eyes.

"Oh. Your eyes! Let me give you some ice." Ni-ki left for the kitchen and quickly came back with an ice pack. At the same time, Heeseung came and lead Sunoo to his new room.

"Sunoo. This is your room for.. Ahm. There are some clothes for you." Sunoo just nodded, not minding the look in the older's eyes.

"Sunoo, just follow whatever THAN demands, and please, don't make him angry. Because when he gets angry, no one can control him." With that Heeseung left and Sunoo plopped
on his new bed, thinking about the past days.

"Jungwon, I miss you." Sunoo again broke down into tears, soaking his pillow in the silence of the night.

His cell phone was missing and he didn't dare to ask about that, how can he when every single person was carrying a gun?
He was thinking about how he run to
that street, how his stupid mind didn't let him run more, how he met with that bastard to turn everything into undesirable life..

"Why? Why my life is so much pathetic?" An ugly sob left his chapped lips that he didn't even notice, streaks of tears made his pale cheeks wet but no one was there to wipe them off. All of his life, he wished for some change, a change to make him free of the burdens he has been living with the burdens he has been living with for so many years, but he never ever imagined that to happen like this.

"It's a change... but I don't like this
change... not at all," Sunoo mumbled in between his silent cries, oblivious to the fact that someone was watching his every moment with an evil smile and blank eyes.

"Wait for a week then I will send you to auction and in turn of 40 Million I will earn double the amount." Sunghoon was smiling like a maniac while looking at Sunoo on his monitor.
