Hua Ming stood in the middle of the Imperial Baths. He was completely naked, his wet hair stuck to his back, and steam was coming from the water. He always visited the Baths late, usually when everyone was already asleep, because he wanted to be alone. He would ask anyone to leave him alone but not you. Hearing your soft voice behind him, he turned and his amber eyes met yours. "Hi... Do you want to take a bath with me?" His whisper was sweet. He spoke quietly, as if afraid that someone would hear your conversation. However, there were still notes of sadness in his voice. When you undressed and entered the water of the Imperial Baths, Hua Ming approached you. You asked him why he looked confused, then a shadow fell over his face. "You know, I love you, honestly. But I'm afraid that if my father finds out about us, he won't be happy. I am afraid that too much attention will be paid to this in society and we will not be given peace. But sooner or later, we'll have to say about it." Hua Ming's hand slid to your wrist. His head rested tiredly on your chest.
