4 Years later. . .

"FELIX!"

"FELIX WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

The small boy giggled as he hid behind the door.

A tall man stepped in the room, looking around in obvious distress.

"Felix i swear to god, Bins gonna kill me if i lost you again."

He ran his hands through his shaggy black hair.

"BOO!" Felix yelled, popping out from behind the door.

"JESUS." The man exclaimed, placing a hand over his heart, "I COULD'VE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK BABE!"

The magical tinkle of Felix's laugh calmed the older as he smiled, hugging his boyfriend.

"Hi!"

"Hi yourself." Hyunjin replied, kissing the younger's forehead.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too sunshine."

"CAN YALL CUT THE SAPPY SHIT." A frazzled Changbin yelled, tightening his tie.

"We gotta leave to the wedding in 10 minutes and your busy playing peek a boo."

"Sorry Binnie, But i'm ready, Jimmie's not. So it's not my fault!" The youngest laughed sticking out his tongue.

Hyunjin watched his boyfriend smile with warmth. Oh how he'd longed to see the day the younger wouldn't fake his emotions.

Felixs smiles were always a little too warm. His hugs, a little too tight, his kisses, a little too rough. Almost as if he was trying to rush through life.

Hyunjin knew the ordeal Felix had been through, but he didn't know the details in which traumatized the younger.

Changbin grew to be more than a bodyguard for the younger, he took the role of a brother, father and friend as he protected the boy with all his life.

Felix... Felix was fine.
Or so he said.

Even though the kidnapping was 4 years ago, the boy still harbored immense feelings of guilt for what he had done.

Stockholm Syndrome, they said.

But he wasn't upset that he escaped. He wasn't sad that Chan died.

He was scared.

Scared of himself.

The days, though few, he spent at Dong-Hyuns estate, made him realize that in bad was good, even if that good didn't look like good.

He'd spend hours of sleepless nights staring at the ceiling, remembering the small things Chan would do to help him, even if it seemed bad. It was technically 'less bad' in his mind, which in turn made Chan good.

So he felt upset that he had it in him to kill what he thought as, 'the last good' in that place. Without Chan, Dong-Hyuns power must've been ruthless.

Regardless of his fears, one thought kept orbiting the minds of both Felix and Changbin. One upsetting thought that was almost definite: Why hadn't Dong-Hyun found Felix again. Or made and attempt to get Felix back?

With the effort he put into kidnapping Felix, would he really let him go, just like that?

3 years earlier...

The smell of his rotting corpse spread throughout the small corridors.

It grew stronger as you walked to the elevator.
