“…You say you love me. Then you should cherish me, listen to what I want, and care about my wishes.”
“Why should we?”
Ihyun asked back, as if he genuinely didn’t understand.
“If you love me, it’s only natural…”
Jaemin couldn’t clearly define or explain it.
But, in every drama or movie he had seen, even in textbooks, love was portrayed that way.
He just assumed that must be right.
“Our love is special. We don’t want something that ordinary.”
Ichan shook his head, dismissing Jaemin’s argument.
Jaemin clenched his hands tightly.
“I’m saying that’s what I want!”
“We don’t need to accommodate that.”
“Hah…”
Jaemin finally realized that talking with them was impossible.
Usually, if a conversation dragged on this long, the other person would get frustrated, not him.
He never thought there would be a day when he’d be the frustrated one.
Fine. It was his fault for trying to reason with these lunatics.
He just had to find a way to escape quickly…
As Jaemin’s eyes darted around the room, Ichan pinched his nose.
“Don’t even think about escaping. We’ll find you no matter what.
And next time, you won’t be able to run away because we’ll cut off this.”
A large hand gripped Jaemin’s ankle.
His fingers completely enveloped Jaemin’s slender ankle.
That hand didn’t stop there, gripping his calf and moving up to his knee.
“Next, this. And here.”
“…”
Jaemin took in a sharp breath.
To anyone else, those words might sound like an empty threat, but coming from Ichan, it felt like the truth.
And it probably was the truth.
“No matter what state you’re in, we’ll love you. So don’t worry.”
Jaemin’s face turned pale.
“Relax,” they said.
How could anyone relax after hearing something like that?
He imagined himself with his legs cut off, receiving them from behind.
He felt like the food he had just eaten was about to come back up.
Ihyun kissed Jaemin on the cheek.
Then, moving down, he buried his nose in the nape of Jaemin’s neck and took a deep breath, *heuuup*.
“That’s right.
Our love is like an undeniable truth.
Even if you fall apart, it’s okay.
That means I can break you apart as much as I want, too.”
There was no one else but Ihyun who could make such a gentle threat about cutting off all his limbs.
