KEY'S POV
I'm sorry, Onew-hyung. I'm sorry...I know it was mean. But, I've to do that... In last two weeks, he trapped me in his house. He didn't do anything for me. Just gave me food and let me stay in my room. My room? My new room? Tch, it's not a room. It's a jail. I couldn't get out from my own room. Funny, huh?
I hear the bell is ringing. Time to go...home? Yeah, my home. Suddenly, I feel a hand wraps my waist, I know whose it.
"Let's go home, Babe." He hissed on my ear. Sending some hot airs that make me shiver. I nods, I glance to Onew-hyung from my eyes tip. He's...wait...he's grinning...? I can't see him anymore as I walk out from the class. I let Jjong drags me along the corridor and leads me into his car.
"Go, Leeteuk-ssi." He commanded Leeteuk-hyung.
The Butler just nods and starts driving.
"Why are you so quite, Babe?" Jonghyun asked me.
"Nothing." I answered him coldly.
"Aw~, you were so naughty in the school, and you come back to your true personality now."
"That's not your own business, Jonghyun!"
Suddenly, he turns my face to face him, harshly, "I've told you, Baby, call me, Jjong!"
"J...Jjong..." I said, weakly.
"Good boy!" He pats my cheek softly and turns his face away.
We ride in silence and finally we’ve arrived. A white huge house, Jonghyun's house. I get out and follow Jonghyun, walking in.
"Key." I hear Jonghyun called me.
I turn my head, "What?"
He doesn't say anything, just looks at my eyes. His expression...I've never seen that expression...it's blur...but I still can see...a...lonely expression...? His mouth opens, looked like he wants to tell something, but he closes it again.
"Just go into your room." He stated, and walks away.
I turn around and walk slowly toward my room, in confusion. I've never seen his expression like that. I always he's devilish expression, an arrogant smirk on his face, or cold expression. But, that blurry lonely expression...
I see my face on the mirror, but I don't really see it, I keep thinking.
Suddenly, I hear someone's knocking my door, "Come in!"
And I see Leeteuk-hyung appears, "Time to dinner."
"I'll be right there." I answered him and he's gone.
I let out sigh and walk outside. I look around as I reached the dining table. I'm looking for a figure that familiar, but I can't find him.
"Leeteuk-hyung," I said, "Where's Jonghyun, eh I mean…Jjong?"
"He...didn't want to eat..." He answered, hesitated.
"I'll go for him."
And I walk slowly. Well, I hate him, I hate him SO MUCH! But, his expression in this evening...I don't know...I feel...pity?
I knock his room's door and open it slowly. I see him. Standing in front of a huge window, with his back's facing me. Topless.
I cover my mouth and my eyes widen as I saw his back. It's full with...scars...? Like whip scars. They're looked clearly on his tan skin. And I can see a burn scar on it too. It's written some letters. But, I can't read it.
"Leeteuk-ssi, I've told you that I don't have any appetite. So just go." I heard he said, in sudden. With a soft tired voice that I've never heard before. I don't say anything. Still admire what I see on his back.
He realize that I'm not Leeteuk-hyung and he turns his body. His eyes widen in shock. He takes a piece of cloth and wraps his own body with it. Trying to hide those scars.
"What are you doing here?!" He yelled at me.
"I...I just want to...call you for the dinner...I...I...j-just forget it...!" And I slam the door until it's closed.
What was those scars?! How could he get those scars?!
I drag my own feet toward the dining table. But, I don't have any appetite anymore. I look up and stare at Leeteuk-hyung who is pouring tea into my cup.
"Stop it, Leeteuk-hyung. There's something I want to ask."
He looks at me, "What's that?"
I stand up and say, "Follow me into my room."
He puts the pitcher and follows me.
In my room...
"Tell me everything, Hyung." I said to him.
He's silent for a while before asks me back, "Tell you what?"
"You knew, Hyung."
He sighs, "Do you want to know about Jonghyun, right?"
I give him a nod and sit on my bed. Waiting for his information.
"Okay, I'll tell you...everything..."
THIRD PERSON'S POV
-FLASHBACK-
Little Jonghyun was an orphan. His parents and his brother were died in a traffic accident which happened when he was thirteen. He was lucky. But, since that accident he closed his life from anybody. He didn't want to be friend. He didn't want to talk.
Leeteuk was an orphan too. Everyday he tried to talk to Jonghyun. But, everyday Jonghyun avoided him.
One day, Leeteuk would be adopted. The man who would adopt him gave him a chance to pick one of the others orphan to be adopted too. Unexpected, he chose Jonghyun. So, they went to their new home together.
They had to be siblings, Jonghyun began to talk, joked, laughed, together with Leeteuk. Although, he kept calling his brother with 'Leeteuk-ssi' not 'Leeteuk-hyung'. Perhaps, he though that nobody could replacee his brother.
Suddenly, the company of the man that adopted them got bankrupt. The man who had the debt of that company gave him a tolerate. As the replace, he wanted to take one of them. Unfortunately, he chose the little Jonghyun.
Everyday was hell for Jonghyun. He had to study, study, study and study. The man wanted Jonghyun to be his heir. Everytime Jonghyun wanted to rest, his teacher always whipped his back harshly. Made sure to make some scars on his back.
In other hand, the man who had got bankrupt always told Leeteuk, "Take care of our little Jjongie, Teukie...you must to take care him."
Until the end of his life, he kept said that to Leeteuk.
When Leeteuk's dad had died, he decided to work in Jonghyun's house so he could keep his eyes on his younger brother. And he was hired as Jonghyun's butler.
Jonghyun wasn't his cheerful brother anymore. Jonghyun never laughed except forced laughs. Never smiled beside devilish grin. Never talked furthermore with cold voices. Never looked at people moreover with his death glare. In fact, Leeteuk couldn't see his little brother became like that, but he couldn't do anything beside protecting him since Jonghyun always made enemies with his bad behaves.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
KEY'S POV
So...it was the story...? I...I've never expected it before...Jonghyun has many painful memories...he became like that isn't without any reason...
Suddenly, I hear someone slams the door, "It's enough, Leeteuk-ssi." I heard a cold voice. And I know whose voice is it.
"You can get out, I have to talk with my sexy boy." He said again. A devilish grin's plastered on his face.
Leeteuk-hyung gives him a bow and gets out of the room.
"Hey, my sexy boy, how are you doing?"
I don't answer his question. Suddenly he claps his hand. Two men come in and tie my hands, "What the hell?!" I yelled.
"I'll mark you as mine, Babe!" He hissed.
"What?! What do you mean?!"
He chuckles, "You'll see when you're awake later."
"Wha...?!"
An injection on my arm cuts off my words. Later, I feel weak and my eyelids becomes heavy, and everything's getting dark...
JONGHYUN'S POV
I walk out, let those men work with Key, I find Leeteuk in front of my room's door. He opens it, gives a way for me to walk in. And he shuts the door behind me. I rest my body on my bed.
"What were you doing in there, Leeteuk-ssi?" I asked him.
"You've already known, Jjongie."
My anger is boiled as he called me 'Jjongie'.
"You! I've told you! You can't call me that! You're my butler! And I AM your master! That's our relationship! You don't have any right to call me that!" I yelled at him.
He bows and says, "I'm sorry, Master. I couldn't hold my tongue to slip."
"Whatever! Get out of my face!" I commanded him.
He bows and opens the door.
"Wait!" I said to him and he stops.
"And remember, we just met in the orphanage but, it wasn’t meant that we are brothers! We’ve never been BROTHER" I hissed and he's gone.
A few minutes later, I hear a knock, "Come in!"
"Master, we're done."
I nod and get up. I bring my feet toward Key's room and walk in.
I see him still falls asleep, with his buttons undone. I see the mark that I've made and trace it with my finger.
"Mine." I whispered and leave him.
KEY'S POV
I wake up slowly. My head's still dizzy. I hold my head and get up. I see the clock, it's 9 on the Sunday morning. I walk toward the mirror. And my eyes widen.
"What the...?!"
There's a tattoo on my body! I trace it with my fingers. Yes, a tatto. Above my left hip bone on the same level with my belly button. It's a short one just a 'J's'.
"J's...?" What does it mean?
"It means Jonghyun's." I heard a familiar voice from the door.
I turn my head, "What the...?! Jo...Jonghyun's?!"
He nods, "Yeah, I've told you. I marked you as mine. You're my own property."
"Huh?! Your property?! My ass! I'm not a property of anyone!!" I yelled at him, but he just smirks.
"Of course you are, you ARE my property! My own toy!"
He throws me onto the bed and crawls on my body.
He whispers on my ear, "My toy!"
He roams his hands around my chest. He licks my neck, sucks it, makes some hickeys on it. But, I still close my mouth, remembering his painful memories.
"Moan my name, Key!" He hissed.
I look into his deep brown eyes, I cup his cheeks, tilt my head and kiss him in a passionate way. I don't close my eyes and I see his eyes widen. He might be never though that I'll kiss him first.
And I break the kiss, needing some airs. His face is still in surprise. I open my mouth.
"You were...hurt..."
He blinks, "What do you mean?"
"You were hurt, weren't you? You're lonely."
He pushes me away, "What the hell?!!"
I grabs his wrist until he falls down on my body again, "Yes, Jjong. Just admit it. You were ever hurt, right?"
He struggles and frees his self, "Don't. Say. Anything. Like. You. Knew. Everything! I'm happy! Lonely?! Hurt?! Huh?! Don't make me laugh!"
And he storms out, slams the door harshly.
