At Your SERVICE (EN- JakeHoon)

Jake

I was seated in the living room of Sunghoon's house as I stare into nothingness.

I fidget on the ring on my finger as my mind drifted to a conversation I heard from Sunghoon a while ago. I didnt hear everything but the name "Mr. Han" is enough for my heart to beat abnormally and my soul to leave my body.

How did Sunghoon know about him?

Is he perhaps investigating my past?

If so, I need to talk to him. I know for a fact that I cannot fight this on my own. I mean, I have been fighting alone but I just can't. Maybe it's time to ask for help.

When I was about to call Sunghoon, the door swung open immediately taking me off guard.

Good thing, it's Sunghoon.

"I'm sorry. . . uhm, we need to talk"

After the door closed, he sat down in front of me making me nervous.

"I have looked into your family and I found out that they are really waiting for you to exit the building"

"So, you know about . . what the past is?"

"I don't know everything but I know enough to conclude, you're not safe and I need you to help me so we can help you . . . can you do that Jaeyun?"

"I'm sorry . . . I don't know. But I will try"

"Heeseung hyung will come tomorrow with our lawyer, don't be scared around him"

What?

"You won't be there?"

He just ruffles my hair. Gosh, how can I be comfortable?

"Don't worry, It's Heeseung hyung. Just be honest and don't worry about anything. Just think that after this, you will finally be free and you will no longer hide"

I just took a deep breath hoping to calm my nerves.

"Now, can you tell me your background? don't worry, if you let it out now, you won't find it difficult to say it tomorrow"

I am still hesitant but with the goal to freedom, I gathered all courage and guts I could to speak about the past.

"Well . . you know I grew up in an abusive family who loves to torment me. If it is not a crime to kill, I've been dead a long time ago. Cut the story short, I was their breadwinner and after I got a job as your P.A, I cut off all contact with them, including the money of course. . . so now, I am glad they are trying to find jobs but I know they're still hunting for me"

"Can you talk about the abuse? I mean, how far have they gone?"

"Well from the basic slaps, punches, kicks to destroying my things to kicking me out of the house during winter"

"Anything else?"

I don't know if I can tell - -

"Jaeyun . . ."

I know he felt my discomfort because held my shaking hands.

"It's just me . . . I won't hurt you"

"It's a shameful situation"

"It's the past"

"Well . . . there's this one time I cannot give them money . . . my stepfather need it . . when I got home, I was soaked from the rain and he had this idea. . Night Life"
