The sexual tension in the car was almost unbearable. Jin was driving way too fast through the streets and Felix's hand was very obviously in his crotch doing something Jin was enjoying, more than he was focusing. Minho was draped across me lightly like a scarf, with his lips glued to my neck.

"Baby why do you look so good with your hair slicked back like that?" He whispered seductively into my ear. I smirked and ran my hand through it, revealing the undercut I had given myself that day.

"Do you like it?" I murmured quietly. He stared up at me and nodded, his lower lip was in his mouth as his lustful eyes explored my face as he pressed his body into mine.

"Shit!" Jin slammed on the brakes and I grabbed Minho tightly to stop him flying forwards into the back of the seat in front. His hand was firmly around my thigh and I held him close to me. The knife like edge of the seatbelt dug into my chest and I grabbed my chest.

"Yo, focus up Jin. Lix maybe stop wanking him off whilst he's driving?" I suggested with a smirk on my face. Felix's whole face turned a bright crimson red, and he glared at me as Minho began kissing the red mark on my neck.

"At least I don't have a fucking collar on my neck like an animal." Hyunjin jibed flatly as he caught his breath, and pushed his hand through his hair. Apparently the danger of revealing our secrets had made everyone a little over excited, and the car windows were thick with steam.

"I mean it can be arranged Jin. If you want one." Lix leaned across the car and planted his lips sweetly on Hyunjin's cheek.

"Fuck off Lix." He murmured. "Is everyone OK? Sorry about that. The lights changed." He pushed his hair back again and sat revving the engine as he stared up at the lights, anxiously waiting for them to change. The thrill of an escape was proving far more of a sexual turn on than I ever thought it could.

"Where are we going Jin?" Minho asked, his eyes still fixed on me, as he toyed with my hair, and ran his fingers over the short sides.

"To the old house. The only other place we can go is the building, but it's October we'll freeze." He murmured.

"He knows we'll go there though..." Felix said thoughtfully.

"What choice do we have?" Hyunjin asked gloomily. The lights changed and we began speeding down the empty streets once more. I loved early morning drives, especially in Jin's torquey sports model. He handled it well for his age and he knew how to give us all a thrill when we drove us anywhere.

"Jisung-ah," Min purred into my ear in the sexiest voice I had ever heard from him. His tone was soft and melodic, but low and needy.

"What is it kitten?" I asked quietly as I brought my hand to his cheek. My thumb gently traced the outline of his jaw and he stared into my eyes deeply with a passion, I had never seen before, burning just below the surface. His face pressed into the side of mine and his lips were on my ear.

"I want you." He whispered in a sultry tone. I smirked and pulled his face to mine. His lips were trembling slightly and I could tell he was ready to launch himself at me.

"Soon baby. Soon." I whispered against his mouth.

"What do you think is going on at the house?" Those words broke the tension and all of us sat in the weight of the question.

"I guess they're arguing." I stated sadly. As much as I hated Mr Lee, I felt bad for Mom. She didn't deserve this after everything she had been through. None of us deserved the horrors that Mr Lee had brought into our lives.

I stared down at my hands and frowned deeply. I wished now more than ever Dad was here. He would know what to do in this situation. I felt so helpless and small it was as though someone had taken all the wind out of my sails.

Then I did something I hadn't done in the longest time. I sunk my fingernail deep into my thumb and began tugging at the skin. It was a sweet relief I hadn't realised I needed.

"Stop." Leeknow's hands grabbed mine and he intertwined his fingers with mine to stop me. I tried to free my hands but he wouldn't let me.

"Min!" I whined loudly as I desperately tried to free myself from his tight grip.

"Fine." He dropped my hands and turned to face the window. Pressing his forehead to the smooth glass. I stared down again and frowned. Why did I still even need to do this? I reached my hand out and placed it on his thigh, rubbing my thumb up and down. I couldn't bear him being angry at me. He didn't move an inch and I knew he was pissed off.

"We're here." Jin stopped the car and turned loud engine off. A heavy emotional silence fell. This situation was finally unfolding and I was certain nothing good was coming our way. We scouted out the area around us. It wouldn't be a shock if there were people here waiting and we had to get to safety.

"Come on." I murmured as I clicked mine and Leeknow's seat belts. I climbed out of the car and stretched my arms above my head.

We all sat in the bedroom together unwinding. Lix sprawled out over Hyunjin like he was a comfortable pillow, and Leeknow had pressed himself into my side as his hand toyed with my fingers gently.

"Do you guys think things will ever be normal?" I asked thoughtfully as I ran my fingers through Min's soft silky hair and pressed my cheek to the top of his head.

"They can't get any worse." Felix murmured lifting his head slightly from Jin's chest as he stared blankly at me. He looked broken behind his lifeless eyes and I knew his emotions were almost at their breaking point. I sighed and rubbed my eyes with my fingertips. Why had our lives become so complicated?

"Yah, Jisung. Don't worry. Everything is out in the open now. People will know." Hyunjin said soothingly as he smiled softly at me. I looked at him and nodded with a small grimace on my face. I hoped he was right. I didn't want Mr Lee twisting things, or hurting Mom, but I was powerless in this situation.

"Let's talk about something else. Min's birthday is coming up. What are we gonna do to celebrate?" Lix asked quietly, trying to lighten the mood and bring a happier presence, that we sorely needed, into the room

"Fucking leave." Minho said with a chuckle. We all giggled and I shoved him lightly.

"With what money?" I asked jokily. Minho pouted and pulled away from me. He folded his arms tightly across his chest and stared at us all, with a determination in his eyes that let me know he wasn't joking.

"Guys think about it. I'm gonna be eighteen. We could all get part time jobs and save up. We could free ourselves from all of this." His tone was serious and severe and I licked my lips as I pondered his words.

"We could actually get our own place, and never have to see him again." Lix said, sounding suddenly excited. His smile slowly spread and I couldn't help my own smile forming. His was so contagious it was impossible not to smile around him.

"Exactly! Imagine how good it would feel to be able to sleep without that fear..." Minho trailed off and I held my arms out to him again. He was struggling to keep himself together and I knew for all of his bravery this was how afraid he truly was. He would rather escape and disappear than face the consequences of our actions today. I didn't blame him. As much as Mr Lee didn't scare me, the things he was capable of did scare me.

I hated that he had that power over him.

"Why don't we start asking around? Loads of places take on school kids our age!" Hyunjin clapped his large hands together and grinned around the room.

"Tomorrow after school we'll go job hunting!" I finally agreed and Min squeezed himself closer to me.

For all of the destruction and chaos in our lives, something positive had come out of this.

The four of us had a bond that would never be broken.

At least that's what I thought.

Ooooooo

What's gonna happen next?

What could possibly split up their bond?

I'm so ready for the next couple of chapters. You don't even know what's coming.
