"Renjunnie, don't lurk in the doorway. Just come in."
"Well, um, I'm waiting for someone," Renjun replies with a shaky breath.
"You're waiting for someone?" Taeyong asks slowly. "Outside my room?"
"Yeah, is that ok?"
Renjun avoids Taeyong's eyes, causing the older to smile softly at him.
"Of course it's ok, darling, take as much time as you need."
"Thank you."
Renjun shuffles to behind the wall and lets out a sigh of relief.
Taeyong's not quite sure what to do, so he does the logical thing and goes back to his own business.
Almost twenty minutes later, Renjun finally enters the room with Kun holding his hand.
"Oh hey, what's up?" Taeyong asks and puts down his book.
"Renjun has something to tell you, and it's not good," Kun replies.
"Ok, do you want to come sit down?"
Kun looks at Renjun, who nods slightly, before replying.
"Sure."
Kun leads Renjun to Taeyong's bed and sits him next to Taeyong before sliding in next to him.
"Are you ok?" Taeyong asks.
He reaches over to take Renjun's hand, but pulls back when the younger flinches.
"So I'm guessing that's a no, then."
"I- I need to tell you how Kun and I met."
"Are you sure?" Taeyong asks.
"Yeah, you need to know." Renjun takes a deep breth before continuing. "Kun and I met when I was 15. My parents are, well, they're abusive, to be honest, and I was forced to do some bad things."
*Flashback* Two Years Ago
"The music's a little too loud, so I'm gonna go to the bathroom!" Kun shouts.
Kun is at Yixing's club and his ears have just started ringing. He's been there for a couple hours now, but he kind of wants to go home.
Kun enters the bathroom, and he's trying to ignore all the smells and sounds, but he can't ignore the sound of crying.
"No, please."
Kun takes less than a second to react. He kicks open the door of the largest stall, easily busting the lock.
The sight is not pretty, Kun finds a boy no older than 15 pinned to the wall by a man definitely older than him.
