I got you kid - ateez/woosan

55

Wooyoung sat alone on the couch, watching some boring documentary channel. Everyone was doing their own things, leaving Wooyoung to his own devices. He wanted to cuddle with San, but Hongjoong had San going over a tiny mission with Yeosang in Hongjoong and Seonghwa's room. So all four men were in there discussing and such. Wooyoung was sort of sad that he couldn't be a part of it, but at the same time, he still wasn't in the right mindset yet.

Yunho, Mingi, and Jongho were all out getting groceries. So Wooyoung was all alone. Though, he had his stuffed bear to keep him company.

Wooyoung was so bored. He hated the documentary channel, and no other shows caught his eye. Everything was boring and far from entertaining for the sixteen-year-old.

So as he flipped through the channels, he decided on the news for a bit. At least the Japanese news channel was more interesting. It discussed a few murder cases here and there, then a fraud case, and a couple of thefts.

But then the channel he was watching, switched segments, which led to him watching the global news.

Wooyoung rarely watched the global news because he didn't speak great English, and that was the language predominantly spoken during those segments. However, when it would bring up some high-profile cases happening in Korea, he was very fascinated.

On the global news station, it would only talk about the biggest crimes around the world. Whether that be mass murders, situations related to the rich and famous, high-profile robberies, or other related cases.

"Currently in South Korea." Wooyoung's attention was back on the tv when hearing about his home. "The murder of Mr. Jung and the disappearance of his son Jung Wooyoung has rocked the nation."

Wooyoung let out a sigh but leaned forward to listen. Although he wanted to try to leave all of that in the past, he still wanted to stay in the loop about all the details happening.

"Details have been released that none of the kidnapper's DNA was found at the crime scene, only that of Jung Wooyoung. As of now the top suspect in Mr. Jung's murder is his own son, but there is no incriminating evidence to prove that speculation true."

Wooyoung sat there in shock. Even while dead, his father was still torturing his life. He was now the lead suspect in his father's murder, which also meant that he was now a criminal in the eyes of law.

He felt a wave of panic wash over him. What if they knew he was now in Tokyo? What if they took pictures at the airport again like they did when they were heading to New York? Wooyoung couldn't bare to face all the scrutiny. All the pain and suffering his father put him through was enough, and now his name was being thrown around like slander. It was all too much.

He froze in his spot on the couch when the realization hit him. Was that the reason why they went to Tokyo in the first place? Because the gang already knew about his name being thrown about as the lead suspect and they wanted to get him away from Seoul.

Wooyoung felt a pang in his heart. He felt betrayed. How could they lie to him, especially San? Wooyoung made it clear that he always wanted to be open about things like that. He needed a sense of trust in those in his life, and now he was left feeling so conflicted.

He heard a door close and then footsteps and voices, coming towards him. Wooyoung let out a deep breath, trying his hardest not to spiral into a panic attack. But he had no idea how to relax when everyone suspected him to be his father's murderer. It was bad enough that he had to keep remembering and seeing his father's dead body, but knowing that so many people looked at him as a murderer now too, it gave him an insane amount of anxiety.

"Hey, Woo do you want—" San stopped talking when he noticed the stressed look on Wooyoung's face. "What's wrong?" He walked towards the boy, with Seonghwa, Hongjoong, and Yeosang trailing behind.
