WonKyu Part 2
Winning Hearts
Two Years Later…
“Where are you headed?” the boy asked, sitting up with a bed sheet modestly covering his body.
Kyuhyun buttoned his white shirt sleeve. He looked down at the person he had spent the past three days with and smirked. “Going to collect my prize. See ya.” Grabbing his blazer, Kyuhyun passed through the open doorway.
Once down the stairs, he dialed a familiar number, waiting only a brief moment before getting an answer.
“Three days? That’s better than I expected,” Siwon mused on the other end of the phone.
“I matched your record, don’t even,” Kyuhyun snorted.
“You got them to confess?”
“Yup,”
“They paid for everything?”
“No doubt.
“Got ?”
“Of course.”
“Break their heart?”
“Probably.”
“Did you see them crying?” Siwon persisted.
Kyuhyun frowned. “I guess not.”
“Oh…so close,” he teased.
“Shut up, I did great,” Kyuhyun snapped. He opened the door to a waiting black car. Inside, he saw Siwon grinning at him. Ending the call, he climbed in and passed his phone over to the other male. “Besides, I think those pictures make up for a lack of tears.”
Siwon’s eyebrows rose up as he scrolled through the phone’s picture gallery. “He really let you take pictures?”
“I’m just that good.” He smirked.
“Or he’s a .”
Kyuhyun took the phone back, deleting the album of the boy’s photos. “You chose him. I’m sure he’s not a then. You always pick the biggest prudes.”
“It’s to train you,” Siwon assured, “The harder a person is the crack, the greater the reward will be when you finally get them. It’s all about that power and control. You’ve always wanted that, haven’t you?”
“Obviously,” Kyuhyun rolled his eyes, “I’m so sick of dealing with idiotic rich people who want to tell me how to live.”
“You’re such an ungrateful son,” he remarked, amused.
“I’ve become more ungrateful since meeting you,” Kyuhyun shot back.
“Cute, Kyubaby,” Siwon sneered, “I don’t think I’m scared to send you out into the real world anymore.”
Kyuhyun sighed, getting comfortable in the seat. “So, what’s the next big game? I want something more difficult.”
“Already figured it out,” he tossed a thick manila envelope to the young man. “You know how you’re always struggling with finding a good secretary?” Siwon prompted, seeing Kyuhyun nod along, “Well, I found you one.”
“What does that mean?” Kyuhyun opened the folder, seeing a profile and several formal documents attached.
“I read up about him,” Siwon explained, “he graduated college near the top of his class, lives alone, and never breaks routine. It looks like he’s also attached to someone who’s gone. I don’t know what exactly happened, but he’s ice cold.”
“Sounds like fun,” Kyuhyun smirked, studying the picture attached, “He’s cute.”
“Very,” the other male drawled, “and I’m giving you six months to get three things from him.” Siwon smiled, “One, his trust.”
“Easy.”
“Two, .”
“Are you even challenging me?” Kyuhyun cocked an eyebrow.
“Ah, ah, last one,” Siwon scolded, “Three, his hand in marriage.”
Kyuhyun stared uncomprehendingly. “…What?”
“Get him to say yes and then break his heart. That’s all it takes,” Siwon shrugged, “or are you nervous that six months isn’t enough?”
He bared his teeth in annoyance. “Six months is plenty.” And then he shut the envelope, heart racing in anticipation.
“The game isn’t over yet, Kyuhyun.”
Hs ears perked up and he turned to look at the devilishly excited male. “What?”
Siwon’s smile widened. “If you fail, I’m taking everything,” his voice dropped, “it’s the ultimate victory or loss. Got it?”
Kyuhyun nodded without thinking it over for even a second.
Everything meant everything in Kyuhyun’s life – his assets, his home, his decisions, his body, his very attitude would be back under Siwon’s control. It was a risk, but he hardly cared. Siwon couldn’t win this game. It was completely turned in his favor. Six months to make one person fall in love? That was child’s play.
As much as he had enjoyed learning from the man, the last thing he wanted was to fall backwards into that mess again. He had clawed his way up and now he was being set free…so long as he won the game.
Siwon just laughed. The kid was so great. He was a gambler, a daredevil – anything like that. His constantly changing emotions were always a plus as well. If it was anyone else, Siwon was positive they wouldn’t be able to control the erratic behavior, but Kyuhyun did a fine job of tuning it all into the right place.
“What’s his name again?” Siwon questioned.
“Kim Ryeowook,” he replied without hesitation, “the last obstacle.” Kyuhyun smirked, body humming with energy as he imagined finally escaping.
