10 Discovering something new

He almost wanted to tell him to leave and release but remembering the promise they made, he only tightened his hand around him and rubbed his back soothingly.

"I . . ." YanJun choked again as he wanted to tell him what happened. He was losing his mind being left alone like this with no one to talk to. "I am lonely."

Mingyu pulled away and looked at YanJun's tear-stained face as more tears rolled down his cheeks. He mopped the tears again and smiled.

"I have never spent so many days alone." YanJun has been surrounded by his group members for more than seven years now. He had so many people to talk to that loneliness was far from him. He would call home and also talk to his friends.

Then, what he desired was more time to rest but now, the time seemed endless. He felt depressed. Music used to be the cure for his depression but after retiring, he decided to use the fashion design he loved but he had nothing to vent on or ease his pain with.

Mingyu frowned and stood up before pulling him up. "Change your clothes and go out with me," he ordered.

"Uh?" YanJun asked as the shock stopped his tears from flowing.

"Yes, if you come with me, you won't feel lonely anymore," Mingyu replied with a nod.

YanJun shook his head. This was not what he wanted. "No, I would rather stay indoors. I want to apply to the school."

Mingyu nodded in agreement. "You will get to do them all when we get back. I will help you." The man sounded excited. "I will take you through the processes and I will have my secretary do the rest for you."

YanJun bit his lower lips. He could refuse and remain indoors probably until he loses his mind because he was not going to survive the next coming weeks indoors or he could go with the man without any chance of escaping.

"I will go with you then," he agreed with a nod.

Mingyu smiled and hugged him again. When he pulled away, the smile was gone in the coldness in those brown eyes gave a dangerous killing intent that had YanJun wondering when the temperature became so low.

He placed his hand under YanJun's chin and with a cold warning tone, he told him, "Don't think of running. I am very nice when you behave well. You will get hurt if I have to send my men to find you, they will not be as nice as I was when bringing you here."

YanJun swallowed. He tried to move his gaze from this man's eyes but his eyes seemed to give a warning message telling him to be as obedient as he could.

"Do you understand?" Lu Mingyu asked. The last thing he wanted to do was forcefully bring YanJun back after he escapes. He had no intention of adding to the guy's traumas.

"Yes, I do," YanJun answered. He swallowed as he waited patiently for the man to move away from him so he could get ready to leave with him.

When Mingyu finally released him, he walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind him. He rested his back against the door of the bathroom and sighed with his hand on his chest.

If anyone ever told him that he will one day, find himself in such a situation where he was under such a controlling relationship with a man, he would have not hesitated to hit the person as hard as his hand can.

He had been shipped with all the members of his group in the past but he has never paid heed to them because he strongly believed he was not a cut sleeve and even at this point, he was unwilling to disbelief it.

He was as straight as a pole and the thought that he has to appease this man enough to have the man trust him was unpleasant to think of.

The thought of getting sexually intimate with the man was far from what he was ready to think about. He could not see the man as the shou considering that build and his dominant demanding characteristics but he was not willing to the shou.

Thinking about it all was making him feel like he was slowly but surely losing his mind. He might never get his old life back if he does not act fast and since going out with the man was his only route, he was willing to try it.

He was going to try all he can to leave before the man takes him. He sighed again before walking into the glass shower cubicle. He turned on the shower and he could not help but rest his back against the wall.

He got a discovery about the man by simple coincidence and that might be his ticket to the man's heart. The man must hate to see him cry. He smiled at his blurry figure in the mirror.

If tears will work out well for him, he was willing to cry as much as he could to soften the man's heart to give him what he wants.

Could someone tell him that as much as his tears could melt the man's heart, they could also harden a part of that man's body? Oh, how I wish he knows.

Mingyu picked out his clothes saving him the stress of thinking of what would be appropriate for him to wear. When one of his friends told him that their fans knew them more than he thinks, he was ready to argue with him but seeing the choice of color and the clothes, he was forced to believe that.

The man seemed to know just what he wanted to wear but also felt conflicted because he did not know if it would be appropriate to go with the man dressed in an expensive tailored suit.

It was also from his favorite brand. It was comfortable as well as stylish. He chose white designer sneakers and an earring to go with the T-shirt, a denim jacket, and black pants.

Mingyu stood back and scanned his man with satisfaction. He smiled and called him over. He adjusted his hair with a smile lifting the corners of his lips. "You look hot and handsome," Mingyu was very blunt with his compliment.

YanJun has heard many constructive sincere comments about his appearance but this felt strangely different for reasons he was too busy ignoring the man's words to take note.
