BOYFRIENEMIES

CRY

Amazing might be the right word to describe the situation Chaerin is currently experiencing.

Chaerin had always thought Ethan was a gentle and kind man, before his thinking was broken by Ethan's cruel attitude beating the contractor who took his money mercilessly. Chaerin even goosebumps if he recalls it.

Since then, Ethan's meek image has been thrown away, changing with Ethan's cruel and violent figure.

But now, Chaerin is again fascinated by Ethan's attitude away from his shadow.

"Reserve yourself mad woman, she is not a gentle and patient gentle master, she also has a monster figure in her"

Chaerin muttered, looking at the man before him stunned.

Ethan sits in front of a shiny black piano.

Wily he moved his fingers, pressing the piano keys one by one quickly, a soft melody rang out as his long fingers touched the piano keys feeling.

The charm of Ethan this time is enough to hypnotize Chaerin who had enjoyed the song that Ethan brought, his eyes even forgot to blink for a full minute, his eyes sparkling as if he was looking at Yiruma, his eyes even blinking, a pianist who greatly admired him.

Chaerin claps his hands when Ethan is done with his piano.

Ethan can't help but smile proudly when he realizes Chaerin is enjoying his piano playing without any insults afterwards. Ethan got up and sat down again before Chaerin to continue the dinner.

"I didn't know it turns out women like you like soft music"

"I also didn't know that a braggart like you could play the piano well"

Ethan laughed softly at Chaerin who returned his words in the same tone.

"Do I have any value in your eyes?" Ethan looked at Chaerin fixedly and Chaerin instantly shifted his gaze, pretending to pay attention to the champagne glass he was holding.

Ethan slammed his finger into the air, and a servant approached him with a small box of glass, handing it to Ethan very carefully.

"At first I didn't really understand how I felt about you, I thought it was just curiosity because you're so different from most women I've ever met. And now I'm absolutely sure"

Ethan knelt holding a small open box, featuring a shiny white ring in red Rubies that created a red bias when exposed to light.

"Let's get married"

Chaerin almost chokes, not expecting Ethan to propose to her, accompanied by a beautiful ring.

As a woman, of course Chaerin wanted such a beautiful ring, let alone that the ring looked very expensive. The other is to marry Ethan.

Never mind Ethan, with other men Chaerin has no intention of getting married. Chaerin had even thought of shaving his hair and becoming a saint in the middle of the forest.

It sounds crazy indeed, but that's Chaerin, he's never had any interest in a man before. Although his closeness to Ethan all this time made him falter.

"You must be crazy!"

"Come on Miss Chae, my legs are starting to hurt from kneeling for too long"

Ethan is still patiently on his knees waiting for Chaerin to answer, although he is not sure Chaerin will answer him with the answer he wants.

"Is this serious?"

Chaerin continued to convince himself that this man who was now kneeling before him was just playing around. Ethan can get any woman he wants, it makes no sense that Ethan is proposing to him right now, except this is all a dream.

Chaerin thought hard, he punched his arm to make him wake up from a crazy dream that was in his nature, but he never woke up.

"I'm Ethan zie, kneeling before you, can't that be proof that I'm serious, you think I'm gonna do this to joke?" Ethan begins to raise his voice, although he cannot say angry, but he really does not like when someone doubts his words.

"If this was just because I refused to sleep with you the other day when you first came to Lady Castle, you wouldn't have had to go this far, there's a lot of other women out there, Mr. Ethan"

Ethan wakes up when he hears Chaerin's sarcastic remarks, insulted.

Not only doubt it, Chaerin also underestimated himself as if he only liked**** on any appeal. Even his good attitude was not well repaid.

"If I just want to sleep with you, I can do it easily"

Ethan gripped Chaerin's neck firmly, Chaerin's body lifted and hanging in the air, he even had trouble breathing. Chaerin attempts to release Ethan's hand on his neck, but fails, Ethan is much stronger than him.

Out of his eyes Ethan looked extremely angry, he might kill Chaerin if not immediately release his grip on the poor woman's neck.

Chaerin thrashed around trying to break away, but Ethan's grip became stronger and stronger pressing on his respiratory tract.

Upon realizing Chaerin was starting to weaken and not move anymore, Ethan released his grip, dropping chaerin onto the floor violently.

Chaerin fell down with a gasp of breath, he took a deep breath, filling up every cavity of his lungs that had almost deflated due to running out of air, then exhale quickly and breathe more air.

Chaerin is well aware that when his life is threatened, Ethan looks unfriendly, as opposed to Ethan who played the piano for him a few minutes ago.

Chaerin realizes that he must not provoke Ethan's anger.

Maybe he's gone too far, his fucking mouth should be schooled in the right place and hard-learned, not even a dog cage that every time he opened his mouth that came out was not human language but rough barking.

Chaerin forced himself to look at Ethan, even with watery eyes.

He was scared, very scared, but his pride did not let him show it, his pride said that he had to show a strong side of himself, not his weak and timid self.

"I assume you accepted my proposal, we'll get married as soon as possible, so prepare yourself dear"

Ethan crouches down, wears a ring on Chaerin's vibrating ring finger, and kisses the woman's forehead gently as if nothing had happened before.

Chaerin was already preparing to remove the ring from his finger but Ethan's threat restrained him.

"If you dare to take it off, I'll break your fingers one by one"

Ethan's sharp gaze managed to make Chaerin freeze instantly, his words were not just an empty threat, he would definitely actually break his fingers one by one, and it must have been very painful.

Chaerin looked at Ethan with a pushy look. From the beginning he dealt with the wrong people. If only time could be turned around, Chaerin would love to return.

"Don't look at me like that, I could've poked your pretty eyes out"

Chaerin quickly lowered his head, not feeling that he was shedding tears. Chaerin had always braced herself all along, but this situation made her weak.

He is overconfident by coming here and meeting Ethan, without thinking Ethan might be able to do something cruel to him, he is too confident by assuming he can overcome everything alone.

But in reality, his life is now taken captive by the demon man before him, a strong woman like himself who can do nothing if faced with Ethan who is even more terrifying than George.

"I don't care if you want to gouge out my eyes, break my fingers or kill me, I'm not afraid at all. But I can't die now, I have a goal I have to achieve before I die. So just do as you please, you can force me to get married, but you can't force me to love you" Chaerin quivered, forcing himself to talk even though his throat was sore.

"What!"

"You should look in the mirror and look at yourself now, you're like a beggar expecting love from me, you're so pathetic" Chaerin raised his head again, looking confidently at Ethan with a contemptuous smile.

Ethan laughed out loud as he finally looked at Chaerin with his sharp eyes.

"We see who becomes the beggar"

Christopher runs to the door after several servants report to him that his master is now home.

Chris is too preoccupied with the clamor of bickering waitresses, and it makes him forget about Ethan's schedule. As usual, Christopher was supposed to be at the door welcoming Ethan when his master arrived home.

Chris finally arrived at the door, his heart felt uncomfortable when he saw the look on Ethan's face that looked unfriendly. Next to Ethan a long-haired woman also showed a face that was no less terrible than Ethan.

"Urus him! Find a private waiter for her!" Ethan does not dispute Christopher's late arrival, and immediately gives orders.

"I don't need a personal servant, I have two hands that I can use to serve myself" Chaerin glared, but his glare had no effect on Ethan.

"Find immediately!" As if not hearing Chaerin's words, Ethan still insists on finding Chaerin a servant.

"I said I don't need it, are you deaf! I'm not a handicapped person that should be served at all times!"

Ethan looked at Chaerin sharply. This woman before him was completely fearless. Just an hour ago, he strangled her to death.

Ethan was breathing rough. He did not want his emotions to explode and again hurt Chaerin, so he decided to give up.

Especially now that he has something more important to do. An hour ago Sean contacted him and said that George was following his orders and now there is a great mess in Lady Caste.

He had to clean up the mess before it got bigger and dragged the name of the Gold Dragon and himself.

"All right, do whatever you want. As long as you stay in this house and act sweet, I won't mind anything"

Ethan walks up the stairs and leaves Chaerin with Christopher and the other servants.

"You okay?" Chaerin looked at Christopher who was still trying to catch his breath from running.

"Agh here was the rich master who had no manners, how could he make this poor old man run just to greet him" Chaerin insinuates Ethan with sarcastic sentences as if he were talking to himself.

Christopher with a worried face, tugged Chaerin a few times, trying to get the woman to shut up before his rude remark enraged his master.

"What!" Ethan who was in the middle of the stairs immediately turned around, looking at Chaerin furiously.

"What is what? I'm not talking to you, I'm talking about someone, but if you're offended, that's good" Chairin smiled sweetly at Ethan as if he didn't make any mistakes.

"If you don't want me to sleep tonight, shut your rotten mouth and go to bed!"

Ethan's words successfully made Chaerin stop smiling.

"And you're Chris, you don't have to welcome me when I come. And also tripled the number of guards, to prevent that annoying miss from escaping"

Ethan looked at Chaerin for a moment, then returned to his good health and continued his journey to his room upstairs.

Christopher is amazed by Ethan's attitude, this is the first time Ethan wants to be ordered by someone, not directly, but in the form of small innuendo, especially by a woman, especially by a woman, but he followed her even though he seemed forced.

Christopher looked at Chaerin from top to bottom. He could already guess who this woman in front of him was.

"You're Miss Chaerin getting married to Mr Ethan? It's unbelievable" Christopher innocently asked.

"I can't believe this either, your master must have gone mad. By the way is there a back door here, or a hidden exit I can use?" Chaerin looked at Christopher with sparkling eyes, hoping that the old man would help him.

"Jun, as Mr. Ethan ordered, tighten the guard and add the guard three times!"

A man in a black suit behind Christopher nodded and immediately went to execute his orders. While Chaerin was made agape by him.

"I didn't say I was going to run away, I just asked!"

Chaerin was relaxing on his soft bed while watching television. He had just finished bathing and was very lazy to wear clothes, so he just fell asleep using a large bathrobe that was slightly open on the chest because it was not tied properly.

And again, the clothes that were previously brought by the waiter for him none of which fit his taste.

"You want to make me catch a cold while sleeping!"

Chaerin shouted at the waiter who brought him a nightgown of lingerie made of thin and super short.

"I'll be fine sleeping with bathrobe"

Chaerin muttered to himself while moving Chanel tv using the remote, and finally he stopped at Chanel who was broadcasting the midnight news.

Chaerin initially enjoyed the spectacle but was later shocked by the news of the attack that occurred in one of the downtown buildings, and Chaerin memorized the building. There was no way he could forget that humiliating place that had locked him away for months so easily, the Castle Hotel, where Lady Castle was.

And more surprisingly, a photo of George appeared there as a victim. Chaerin smiled happily when he found out George was finally dead. But the next photo made him in great shock.

The perpetrator of the attack was pronounced dead on the spot. The perpetrator's face was censored by the television but Chaerin could tell right away that it was Bear.

Chaerin came out of his room hurriedly and ran towards the exit. Some of the guards who saw him immediately tried to restrain Chaerin, but to no avail.

Chaerin tried to break down the door with all the power he had, but it didn't budge in the least.

"Let me out of here, please, just tonight"

Chaerin rubbed his hands begging as Christopher approached him.

"You have to talk to Ethan" Christopher's flat face left Chaerin speechless, convinced that persuading Christopher was not easy, the old man was very obedient to Ethan.

Chaerin runs up the stairs to go to Ethan's room, when he gets there Chaerin breaks Ethan's room and slams the door. But there's no Ethan there, Chaerin even checks the bathroom but Ethan can't find it either.

"Maybe in the study" Christopher suddenly spoke from the front door of the room.

Without looking at Christopher, Chaerin headed straight for Ethan's study at the end of the hall.

Once again in the door's doom until it slams, and sure enough, Ethan is there sitting in his work chair with a laptop lit up in front of him.

"Let me out of here" Chaerin approached Ethan and immediately expressed his wish.

But Ethan doesn't respond at all and is still busy with his laptop.

"I beg you, let me out for the night"

Chaerin holds Ethan's arm trying to get the man's attention, but Ethan still doesn't respond.

"I'll do anything, marriage, sleep with you, or whatever you want I'll do everything, please let me out"

The desperate Chaerin couldn't hold back her tears from falling for longer. The woman sobbed as she continued to beg.

Ethan finally looked towards Chaerin as the sobs of the woman sounded by him.

Ethan immediately stood up and hugged Chaerin and stroked his head gently. Just this time Ethan saw chaerin crying so pitifully.

"Don't cry, you make me look like a bad guy" Ethan feels guilty for ignoring Chaerin, he picks up the tissue on the table and wipes the woman's tears slowly.

"Bear, take me to meet him, I see the news, I hope I'm wrong, I think Bear, the woman could no longer continue her words.

Without Chaerin explaining, Ethan already knew what was happening, so he was not surprised at all.

"Let's go, but stop your crying, and you have to get dressed" Ethan grabbed Chaerin's bathrobe collar and tidied it up, covering Chaerin's smooth shoulders which was so seductive according to Ethan.

Ethan gulps his saliva roughly, trying to hold himself close enough to touch Chaerin's body.

"Chris get the car ready!"

Christopher nodded in understanding and went to carry out his master's orders.
