✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵ Lock shoved a roll into Ethan's mouth, raising an eyebrow. "Keep the pop star thing on the down low, okay, babe?" Taking his hand back, Lock leaned back and sighed. "Yeah, I guess I've gotten drunk a few times. But it always ended badly."

๑۩۞۩๑ ๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ "Mmph urgh nngh mmf." Ethan responded then decided to actually try eating. He chewed his food, taking up a few minutes, and, after he swallowed, asked, "Ended badly? What, like the normal kind of 'above the influence' stuff? Woke up in an entirely different place? Said some things? Sex with strangers?"

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ Ethan leaned back in his chair, surprised. "North Korea.... Did you use your key?" He paused to think. "Couldn't you have used the key... Never mind. That must've been hard to deal with, huh?" he muttered sympathetically then leaned forward, his arms on the table. "That's where that Kim-Jong Il guy was, right?"

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵He nodded, sighing and looking down. "This was actually before the key. I was completely alone, and they wanted a ransom. I was lucky enough to get out with the help of American and South Korean diplomats. But before I could even get their help, I had to...I had to work to stay alive."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ "'Work'?" Ethan asked with furrowed eyebrows. He had a feeling he knew the answer, but he still had to hear this. Even if it was awful as what he thought it was, at least Lock would trust him enough to open up like that, and, girly as it may sound, it would further their relationship.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵"You weren't the first person I ever had sex with. North Korean men can be a bit needy from years of suppression, and they were more than willing to pay top dollar for what my body had to offer," murmured Lock, his shame not allowing him to look up at his Ethan. "In return, I got a bowl of soup and an apple a day, as well as three cups of water and a straw bed in a stone cell. As medieval as it sounds, that was pretty much my life for two weeks until the American embassy picked me up."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ Ethan's eyes widened when he heard the story. He always knew Lock wasn't a virgin when met him, but he didn't think he lost it that way. "Oh.... I...... I never...." Ethan wasn't sure how to finish the sentence. Never believed that would happen? Never would have thought that would happen? Never want to see an alcoholic beverage ever again?

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵"Don't feel bad for me," he said, looking back to Ethan and smiling softly. "I've gotten past it, really. I've somewhat forgiven all those men, and learned to live with what happened. Ethan, I don't drink because it reminds me of what can happen. You aren't strong enough to stop me if I do something bad. I don't like you drinking because you could become dependent on it. If you really want to, though, I certainly won't mind watching over you."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ This time it was Ethan's turn to look away. "I don't think I can touch a drink for a while..." he murmured before slamming his fists against the table, causing the diner-ware to shake. "But how can you forgive those men?! After what they did, how could you even consider giving them another chance?!" He shook his head, his eyes shut tight. "It doesn't make sense!"

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵Lock reached out and took Ethan's hands, holding them as gently as he could. "Because, how can I ever hope to move on with my life if I can't forgive those who have hurt me?" he replied quietly, leaning down and kissing Ethan's fists. "Life is about choices. I could choose to remain angry for what they did, or forgive and carry on with what I'm meant to be. I think I read in some religious book once that if a man slaps you, to turn the other cheek and offer him that one to slap as well. Forgiveness is all we have at the end of the day, other than love."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ Ethan, far less wise and caring, shook his head again. He couldn't possibly see the point in forgiving someone that could do something so cruel, but he wasn't as smart as Lock. "You've got a weird way of thinking." he grumbled then turned when he saw the waiter come by.

The waiter nodded, then turned to Ethan.
