@♔ Jung Yunho The slender slave sighed as they approached the house for once dreading the return more than usual as he had somewhat reverted to his more comfortable nature. He knew it was dangerous for him to be so calm when around so many aggressive masters as they would pick up on any sign of weakness. Closing his eyes he took a few seconds to collect himself his usual mask falling into place as he offered the master a rather saddened smile. He also wished he could spent more time with him as the short time they had been together was definitely a highlight. In fact he might go as far as to say it was the happiest he had been since the accident. With his eyes on the handsome man he moved indoors not needing to look to realize that a few loitering masters were glaring and grumbling in their direction, obviously displeased that he had been escorted and therefore had a valid excuse for being late. Nibbling his lip he hesitantly leant up and allowed his lips to brush the masters cheek figuring it wouldn't hurt. "I'll see you tomorrow I promise". Turning back a little he gave a small wave of his fingers before descending the steps to the slave wing not wanting to waste any more of his time.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho could still see the sweet little kid in Myungsoo, especially when he was making cute face like he just did, but of course something was different, after all he was a young man right now, and his body looked so..tempting, the heart of the master was beating fast as he told himself he should not think such things about the younger, but he just couldn't stop thinking about how y and tempting the younger looked, it was pretty clear to him why masters wanted to their own, another fact that made him quite unhappy. "Okay then, hope you will." Yunho answered with a rare smile, he didn't mind to be his 'bodyguard', as he really didn't want anyone else to attack him, at least not when he can stop it. "S-Sure.." The master whispered embarrassingly, he really didn't mean to say such things out loud to him as the younger was precious to him, hies heart still remembered that sweet boy, even when he turned so cold like ice. "See you tomorrow...right?" The tall whispered to him quite gently, it was so hard to let him go, he didn't want to let him go, it's even scared him.

@♔ Jung Yunho Myungsoo himself didn't realize the effect he often had on people his somewhat sweet expressions an instinct that he fell into when comfortable. Though of course it wasn't a usual occurrence as more likely than not he could be found around a master where he would have preferred to be anywhere else. It had been that way since he had arrived and honestly he wasn't sure what it was about him that called to the more aggressive and brutal masters, sure he didn't have a sign somewhere that asked for them to mistreat him. Shaking his head he gave a tiny huff and carefully tucked his hair behind his ears not wanting to offend the master. "I'll take whatever you give me". Pleased with his own response he continued walking towards the familiar building, silently wishing he could stay outside and away from the other inhabitants. With his cheeks as flushed as ever he tentatively smiled and bowed his head in his direction. "Thank you". It wasn't often he was praised for his looks... not in a seemingly innocent manner anyhow. Usually such praises held darker meanings and were usually said to degrade him even further.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho couldn't help but to chuckle when it seemed like Myungsoo was pouting so cutely when he was teasing him like that, it just made him want to teas him more. The younger looked like a cute little puppy with his big doe eyes and that little pout. "Oh, please, do take it." Yunho took another step closer to Myungsoo when it seemed to him like the other was a little too far from him. It felt like it could become his hobbit to hold his cheeks like that, not only because he liked the way it made him feel but also because it seemed like the stunning boy was enjoying it as well. Yunho was now by his side, hearing his shy voice the tall coughed a bit, he himself didn't mean to say such thing out aloud. "Well..yeah.." The tall mumbled, he wasn't the type to say such things, especially not to someone who was the little brother of his best friend.

@♔ Jung Yunho With his blush only creeping further along his cheeks Myungsoo gave a small whine at the teasing comment not all that used to people playing around any more. Of course there were times when his fellow slaves would attempt making him comfortable with a joke or a teasing remark about his appearance, but he certainly hadn't been expecting it from Yunho. "I-I wouldn't want to take all your time". Glancing to the side a small pout unknowingly formed on his lips finding that he was becoming comfortable around the older master and as such was letting his guard down. The mere fact that the larger male hadn't attempted hitting or slapping him yet made him far nicer than any master he'd been around lately. Leaning against the warm and gentle palm he allowed his skin to be caressed and d rather enjoying the subtle touches as they reminded him of a time where he hadn't been so scared. "Perfect?". Shyness radiating in his eyes he merely turned and walked beside the master not realizing he had spoken aloud as he had been shocked by the description.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho really wasn't the type to afraid of anything, as he was pretty strong and could teach just anyone a lesson, even if someone will be stronger he could take him by figuring his weakness. When Myungsoo stopped resisting it made the tall smile, looking into his eyes all the time, hie brown deep eyes looked so deeply into the big beautiful eyes of the other, it made his heart skip a beat. "Please, take all of my time, it's all yours.." The master said with a little smirk, he was teasing him just a bit cause the other was trying so hard not to bother him when clearly he wasn't. Yunho thought that he really liked to see him blushing like that, it just made him smile as he caressed his red cheeks slowly with his long fingers. "I hope not, it's a shame someone tried to ruin such perfect lips." The tall said with calm voice , trying to hide his anger.

@♔ Jung Yunho The slender slave was wrecked with nerves honestly fearing what others may say about the master especially as he still thought of him as his brothers best friend. He knew how dangerous the other masters could be and had been the victim to their ploys and games one too many times to subject the older man to their mockery. But alas he knew it wasn't his decision to make and he couldn't deny the want to stay with him a little longer. He hadn't felt as warm as he did right now for a long time- in fact he couldn't think of such a moment. With a soft sigh of upset he gave a nod and hesitantly pulled his jumper down the nervous actions a habit he couldn't break. "Perhaps we could walk back together? As long as it doesn't take too much of your time". His own eyes locked on the masters face he was unable to refrain from seeing how handsome he was the older man always having been good looking but it seemed age had only helped him. Feeling the finger caressing his lips he blushed and closed his eyes for a second naturally leaning into the touch before pulling back. "It's all right... it doesn't hurt any more".

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho couldn't stop worrying about the younger, for some reason he wanted to keep him safe, and when Myungsoo said those words he juts chuckle a bit. "Believe me, I do not care what anyone think about me..I can come with you, as long as you want me to." The tall said quite seriously, watching the big doe eyes of the other, he was just too pretty to be true. The master put both of his hands in his pockets when waiting for the other to say whenever he is available, and he nodded to him, his eyes scanned his body uncontrollably, he was just..so ..y, how could he think about him like that? It was pretty wrong of him, but he couldn't help himself. The tall whispered. "Yeah, we can meet in here again.." He added after a minute, brushing his finger against his soft lips slowly, not happy about the little bruise.

@♔ Jung Yunho Myungsoo merely offered a soothing smile not having wanted to worry the older male when he had spoke of the other masters, having been lost in thought and vocalized what he had been worrying about. Giving his hand a tiny nuzzle he pulled back and kept a little distance between them knowing he wouldn't want to leave the warmth if he stayed longer. "It's all right I don't want anyone to think badly of you". His brow furrowed in worry the last thing he'd want is for other masters to think of Yunho as weak especially if he was seen escorting or even helping a slave. He had only ever seen one master determined to protect someone and the other's had soon him for his supposed weakness. Playing with the long sleeves of his jumper he tentatively nibbled his lip thinking about his schedule for the next few days and soon humming curiously. "We could meet again tomorrow if you'd like? I should be free in the morning I could come meet you somewhere if it's convenient for you".

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho couldn't help but to smile when myungsoo seemed to like his touch pretty much, and it just make him feel..happy, an emotion which was pretty rare to him. The flushing face of the younger made him look even more like a beautiful little angel, and it was pretty hard to let him go to his way after meeting him up right there, the tall never expect to behave that way with anyone but the moment he saw the boy he just couldn't be his cold self. "Do you need me to..come with you?" The tall said with some worry in his voice, he was worried that Myungsoo spoke about other masters and he himself could break anyone of those masters. "When will I see you again?" The master added after a second of thinking, he wanted to know that it wasn't a one time meeting, the young boy made his heart beat so fast in a way it didn't happen for years, he had to see him again, and soon.

@♔ Jung Yunho The slender boy could only rest against the males chest occasionally nuzzling his cheek against his warmth. He wasn't afraid of Yunho but he was afraid of forgetting his place and becoming too comfortable with the man he should view as a superior. His fear only growing as he realised how late he was going to be Myungsoo stilled as the gentle hands cupped his cheeks. Unable to refrain himself heleant into the warm palms soaking up the last bit of affection he presumed he'd get. The soft words brought a rosy blush to his cheeks the slave soon giving a hesitant nod and gazing into the handsome males eyes. "I'd like to see you again... It would be nice to see a familiar face once more". Still nibbling his lower lip he winced when grazing the small bruise, the slight pain only reminding him to get a move on. " I should go now.. They will only get angrier if I'm late". By them he was referring to the masters who purposefully made his life miserable, usually waiting outside the slave wing hoping to catch him unprepared or late.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo The tall couldn't stop looking at the other's cherry lips when he was biting them, and he could swear he felt some fear from the other's, not sure if the younger boy was truly afraid of him, but the truth was he should be afraid from him as he wasn't the guy the little boy meet at all. Yunho was glad Myungsoo didn't push him away even once, but instead only tried to feel more from him, but hearing the stunning boy saying he and his brother loved each other almost made him blush, cause the love he had for the boy was more than a kid could imagine. The words the other said next get his full attention, he looked quite sad, looking deeply into his eyes he now cupped his cheeks again, looking at his stunning face. "Will I..see you again? Please..let's meet again.." the master whispered with calm but sad voice.

@♔ Jung Yunho Myungsoo was unknowingly nibbling his bottom lip a habit he had picked up whenever he was deep in thought of contemplating something. His eyes locked on the masters chest he simply eyed the faint tear marks that had been left there wondering if he would be angry when he realized it. It wouldn't have been the first time a master had treated him kindly only to turn around and punish him for something menial or fabricated. With a soft gasp he hadn't been expecting the hug but naturally curled his arms back around his strong torso, allowing himself to be cradled delicately. "It's all right... you loved each other it must have been difficult for you. I don't blame you I was just a kid who used to cling to you both". With a sad smile he nuzzled against his shoulder forgetting for a second who he was and how their positions had changed. But it was true he knew his brother and Yunho had been like siblings and given how close they were it was only natural they had loved one another- though he was oblivious to what kind of love Yunho had truly had for his elder brother. As he eyed the master he took a glance at the watch on his wrist soon gasping as he realized he would be late for curfew if he didn't get some sort of move on. "I should go... they'll get angry if I'm late back".

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho noticed how quiet the younger was, wondering what was in his mind, not sure himself what to say as he didn't speak about what happened to anyone since it happened, when he was only 14. The tall didn't mind what other would say when he again took the boy between his strong arms for a hug, of course he didn't miss the blushing cheeks of the other and somehow it made him heart shape lips smile once again. "When..it happened..When I lost your brother..I lost myself too..I should have been there for you..Myungie." The tall whispered under his breath, his lips now brushed against the cheek of the boy, closing his eyes, he never told anyone what he was feeling to his best friend, he was deeply in love with him, no one knew that fact. Not even his best friend himself, it was his secret, the day he was gone his heart tore apart and he turned into the monster he is today. An abusive master, but still all he wanted to do right now was hugging Myungsoo, like he could fix anything from the past, but he knew he couldn't, and the boy was only 8 so he probably had harder time than he had.

@♔ Jung Yunho It was something that upset Myungsoo whenever he thought about his past, how everyone had abandoned him as soon as his hyung had gone missing. It was as though he were the consolation prize that nobody truly wanted to collect and as such he was left to collect dust on a shelf. He recalled the nights he had spent sobbing when nobody had been able to explain when his brother was coming back and why his parents suddenly ignored his existence. How he was suddenly locked in his room unable to play as they deemed it too loud and childish his parents near trying to pretend he wasn't living with them. But with Yunho he had realized at a young age that he had only truly been his brothers friend and as such probably felt no need to play with him once the latter had disappeared. Brushing his tears away a soft blush rose to his cheeks hearing the mumbled words of praise. It wasn't new of course as other masters often mocked him for his doll like looks his pale skin and deep eyes seemingly calling for degrading remarks about his looks. But it didn't feel as bad when Yunho spoke of him being stunning... it didn't hold the same mocking tone as the other masters whenever they would grab at him and forcefully push him around.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho didn't see the other as weak cause he was crying, but instead that fact only made him want to protect him from everything, he didn't felt that feeling in years, as he was eating guys like the other for breakfasts. The tall remember the 8 years kid running around and making him and his brother smile all the time, he was the cutest then, but right now he looked somehow different, like something really bad happened to him. After the accident with Myungsoo's brother they lost contact, he left the younger boy like that, how could he? When Myungsoo took a step back from him he remembered again where they were, and it was so not like him to be so gentle and in such public place from all places. Even when they were alone right now, the garden was empty and the master looked at the other quietly, he was stunning, so stunning and he was sure many masters wanted to have him. "You..look just like him...you are so stunning.." The tall mumbled, trying again to control his emotions.

@♔ Jung Yunho The slender slave was doing his best to control his tears not wanting to appear weak in Yunho's eyes and anybody who may have been walking past. He knew all too well the dangers of appearing meek in the house as he had seen many slaves tortured due to their cries or tears. Sniffling to himself he took the opportunity to blink his eyes in an attempt to still the rolling tears the masters soft fingers managing to brush the traitorous few that streaked his pale cheeks. He hadn't realized how much he had missed the man in front of him having thought of him as a second brother when growing up- though those feelings were far different at the present as he hadn't seen him in such a long time. "It's not your fault... I'm sorry for getting tears on your shirt". Remembering his place he his lips and tasted the faint hint of copper from the corner of his lips reminding himself of what happened when a master would see him act of of place. "It was my fault...". Not wanting to get either of them in trouble he took a step back to break their embrace simply basking in the feeling of soft hands wiping his fragile skin. He would take any affection he was offered for the next few minutes as he knew after this things would go back to normal and he would simply return to the house and forget all about the soft touches he had received.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho could feel his t-shirt getting a bit wet and it tore his heart into pieces, the other was clearly crying, and it only made him hold his fragile body closer to him, wanting to take all his sadness away, if he was in that place it didn't mean anything good. The tall knew cruel masters, he himself was one of the cruelest masters in that mansion, but to think about Myungsoo in one of their hands made him so angry, he couldn't imagine it cause he really could kill someone who hurt that pretty boy, even so he was a danger himself and he probably should stay away from him so he would't hurt him too. "Myunggie.. I'm so sorry..please don't cry.." The tall whispered with a shaky voice even when he still did his best to try calm, he put a soft kiss over his hair to show him some affection, he didn't want to let go of his fragile body, even when he knew the sweet boy was in trouble being so close to such a monster like him, he made a bit distance just to cup the other's cheeks and wiping his tears away.

@♔ Jung Yunho Myungsoo was unable to control the tears that flooded his eyes memories of the happier times in his life flooding his mind and reminding him of what a contrast his life was now. He recalled how Yunho and his brother had often doted on him buying sweets when his mother and father had forbidden them- and how they had often taken him out on their adventures. As he was brought into the larger males arms he allowed himself a few minutes to rest against his broad chest unable to remember the last time he had been held so delicately. The past few months had been filled with aggression and abuse and in many ways he had come to expect such things. Gently nuzzling the man's chest he hoped he wasn't taking any liberties well aware that in his current position he should be bowing to the man not accepting a warm hug. "I didn't have anywhere else to go..". Unsure how to explain himself he figured he shouldn't ruin any memories of the loving family they had once been for the older male. Not wanting to disclose how his once loving parents had abandoned him for alcohol and parties. How from the moment his brother had disappeared he had been used as a second class trophy and had eventually been forgotten all together.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo The tall also couldn't believe it wasn't a dream or some of a trick, the sweet smiling kid which was his best friend's brother stood there in front of him. But he was there, in a place a sweet guy like him should never be. When Myungsoo leaned to his touch and didn't try to get away he was trying very hard to stop the argue to cry just there, as he really wasn't the type to cry in front of others, or even cry by his own. Before Yunho could stop himself he took the younger boy between his arms, holding his fragile body between his strong arms, and his heart again was beating like crazy, even so that boy wasn't his brother it sure felt like hugging his brother, but again it was somehow different, of course he noticed his small bruise and he just held him closer to him, hoping the younger wouldn't push him away. "Me neither..but why, why are you in such place..Myunggie.." The tall whispered into his ear with a very rare soft voice.

@♔ Jung Yunho The slender boy was still in awe and disbelief at whom was standing in front of him- having genuinely believed that he would never see Yunho again especially not after the accident. It had been the beginning of his family splitting and abandoning him to the shadows and while he didn't blame the older man he couldn't help but remember how things had been before, when he head listened to his brother and Yunho's laughter with a bright smile. Feeling the soft hand cupping his cheek Myungsoo flushed all ready knowing how he must have looked the small bruise on the corner of his lips a reminder of his current position, a master having found it fun to terrorize him in the hallways. "Thank you..". The childhood nickname caused him to lower his lashes refraining from calling the older male with his own as he wasn't sure how he'd react to it. Especially as they had been on equal footing when he was younger but now... he was somewhat unsure as to where he stood. Nibbling his plush bottom lip he lightly leant into the fingers caressing his cheek simply eyeing the man and familiarizing himself with his looks. "I never expected to see you again".

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho really couldn't believe his eyes, it was his little brother, the boy which was only 8 when the accident happened, he was now a young man. The tall took a step closer to the other when he seemed not to notice who he was, but after hearing his name being said so softly from the other's soft looking lips it seemed like his heart was beating even faster. Yunho thought even now that his mind was playing tricks on him, how could it be..? So he took another step to the younger boy, closing the distance between them he leaned down a bit just to touch his cheek to check if it was real. His cheek felt so soft under his long fingers and he couldn't help but to smile sincerely to the boy. "You grow up so well..Myunggie.." The tall whispered, trying very hard to control all his emotion inside him.

@♔ Jung Yunho Myungsoo was flustered as he continued scanning the man stood in front of him unable to place a name to the face he was sure he recognized. It was the eyes more than anything the deep brown color something he was sure he should recognize but alas it had been a long time since he had thought about his childhood and the people he had met in the past. Nervously playing with his own sleeves he tugged the worn baggy jumper a little further over his slim hands the clothes an obvious indicator of his position as the masters seemingly wore nothing but the best. "If you're sure...". Still worried that he might need to sit down he stilled at the name coming from the males lips his head shooting up in surprise. "How did-". Taking a small step closer he took the time to carefully scan the males features a soft gasp escaping his lips as he drew a name of a childhood acquaintance, remembering the boy who had been his older brothers best friend. "Y-Yunho?".

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho didn't mean to scare the boy at all, but those big eyes, his perfect skin and those cherry lips made him feel so very confused that he didn't respond to the boy even when he heard his so soft voice speaking with some concern to him, his brown deep eyes scanned the boy, and of course he was stunning from head to toe, after all he looked like a twin of the guy he loved so much, or maybe even love until those days, deeply inside his heart. "I'm..fine." The tall said with what was supposed to be his usually calm voice, but it wasn't, his voice even was a little shaking, but watching his face now when he didn't look at the book he knew why that guy looked so much like his lost best friend. "M-Myungsoo? Is that..you?" The tall mumbled under his breath, his heart was still going crazy inside his chest.

@♔ Jung Yunho The slender boy had been so enthralled in his book that he hadn't heard the master's approach and only glanced upwards as a shadow fell across him. With a startled gasp he brought a dainty hand to his chest attempting to regulate his breath as he had been shocked enough. Sheepishly bringing his book to his lap he d the cover and glanced upwards at the stranger stood before him, somewhat worried by the glazed and lost look in his eyes. "Are you all right?". His voice soft he spoke with concern wondering if anything had spooked or frightened the obviously older male especially as he hadn't seen anyone else around. However the more he looked at his face the more he recognized his features, sure he had seen those eyes before however foggy his memory was at that moment. "Do you need to sit down?". Wondering if he had wanted the bench he went to stand up his hands brushing down his baggy jumper.

@♡ Kim Myungsoo Yunho really needed some fresh air after the day he just had yesterday, thinking that he actually saved some slave only because he reminded him his best friend, the only guy he ever loved, but of course no one knew it. Also no one knew he did something so nice like saving someone's life, his head was full with thought about his lost friend when he walked by the beautiful colorful garden, he tried to empty his head but he didn't expect what happened next. The tall saw a stunning guy sitting closer to where he stood with a book, his heart skip a beat for a minute, if the other slave was like his lost friend..that boy looked..just like him, with those big eyes, pink soft looking lips and his fair skin. The master took a deep breath as he went closer to the boy that his all focus was in the book, but he just couldn't help but to stare straight at him, cause he was just so..young and, he was like twin of the boy he used to was secretly in love with.

@♔ Jung Yunho Myungsoo hummed as he held his book against his chest lightly running his slim fingers across the fragile spine and lettering. It was one of his favorites as it had been something he had only been able to buy after a long while of saving up - slaves it seemed unable to have their own funds at least any more than a little amount. Somehow he had gotten lucky and was able to spend the day by himself not contracted to the house for the night and neither was he supposed to help out in the nearby cafe. With a soft smile on his petal pink lips he took a seat on the nearest bench a sigh of content his response as he felt the wind brushing his cheeks. Looking around at those casually strolling he failed to spot the figure a little whiles away and instead turned his attention to his book starting to read the familiar words.

@♡ Takuya | ☆ [It's alright, I'm actually getting back home right now as well D:]

Chuckling, Dongwoo just shook his head in disagreement. Sure, he knew that he was a pretty good dancer, he was confident in his skills after all and there was no need to be overly modest about them. But still, he definitely wouldn't call himself amazing, at least not yet. There were still some things he needed to learn after all. ,,It's fine, don't worry". Curving up the corners of his lips slightly, he smiled back at the latter. ,,The most important thing is to simply enjoy yourself and having fun while dancing. That's all". It was obvious that experience and technique mattered, but Dongwoi himself appreciated much more people who had passion for dancing and Takuya in h8s eyes looked like a person who had passion in everything he did.

@♔ Jang Dongwoo Takuya smiled cheekily and blushed as Dongwoo patted his head. "Oh really? you're an instructor? Then you must be a really amazing dancer." he scratched the back of his head, "I'll probably mess up a whole lot, with me being clumsy at times and all." He felt extremely comfortable with the master beside him. He felt like he was himself again, like he was before he was a slave. He didn't change much when he became one, but he did get quieter.

(sorry for the short replies. I just got home and I am like brain dead DX)

@♡ Takuya | ☆ Another laugh slipped past his lips as the young master nodded his head as a reply. He usually laughed a lot but those days he rarely had an opportunity to. ,,Yes, really!" Dongwoo didn't expect that the latter was interested in dancing, not at all. There were barely any people in there who seemed to like it, at least that was what Dongwoo was thinking. ,,Sure, I'd love to. I'm a dance instructor after all". He grinned, reaching up to pat the slave's head affectionately. It made him happy, to see Takuya so carefree and comfortable around him.
