Painful Secrets

Chapter 26

Felix put on his mulberry coloured coat over his thin layer of clothes along with matching shoes and went out of the house. It was evening and it was really cold outside. Once he got out of the house, he was met with a cold breeze hitting his face and all he could see was fog. He let out a shaky breath as he rubbed his tiny hands together for a bit of warmth.

He wondered if the fog was the reason why Seungmin and Jisung still weren't home but the store they were going to was far away too. That was the last thing to worry about since both Seungmin and Jisung were capable of taking care of themselves.

He quickly walked to the back of the house towards the garage.

This time of the day was when all 6 of the spies would practise their sparring and shooting and Felix wondered why Hyunjin would put all the guns in the garage when they had room for storing weapons. Now he had to go out in the cold and almost dark to get them. Thanks alot, Hyunjin. Great job, well done.

Felix opened the garage, stepping inside the dark space, looking for the switch. Turns out the lights didn't work. Felix groaned as he took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight. After looking around the corners for a few while with no success, he finally decided to call Hyunjin.

Surprisingly, Hyunjin was quick to pick up.

"What?"he heard Hyunjin say.

"Yeah, so, I'm in the garage and I can't find the guns anywhere. Where did you put them?"

"Guns? Oh, yeah, there in the dusty cupboard beside the empty bookshelf."

"Why in the world would you put them there?"

"Who cares? Just go get them."

"Alright-"

Before Felix could finish his sentence, he heard footsteps approaching him. He turned around and saw a black masked figure standing not so far away from him.

"Who are you?" Felix asked but the figure didn't answer and only stepped closer to Felix.

"What's wrong? What is it? Who is it? Felix?" Hyunjin asked over the phone.

"I don't know, I-" his sentence was cut off by himself, yelping in pain as he was gripped by his hair. His hand let go of his phone and it fell on the ground as he tried to free himself but failed.

"Felix, what's going on? Answer m-" but Felix didn't get to hear what Hyunjin was going to say next when the figure crushed his phone under his foot.

Felix was then pulled out of the garage and outside before he was pinned to the wall. He gasped when he felt a hand around his throat.

"Where is he?" The figure spoke, the voice was of a man's and sounded hoarse and impatient.

"Who?" Felix could only ask in confusion and terror.

"Haneul's son, where is he?" the man spoke again, applying pressure to his grip on Felix's throat.

"What are you talking about? I don't even know if Haneul had a son and he certainly is not here." Felix replied.

"You stupid bitch. Stop playing dumb and tell me where he is or else you'll die right here, right now." the figure spoke again.

"I don't know. I don't know whoever it is you're talking about and I don't know where he is." Felix shouted.

His answer did not seem to please the black figure and he could tell that he was mad when he started to tighten his grip around Felix's throat.

Felix coughed and was beginning to have trouble breathing as the man only tightened his grip. And soon enough, he felt his eyes slowly starting close and his vision going black.

The second he heard Felix's cry of pain, Hyunjin didn't even bother to explain things to the others in the practise room and ran out immediately like a possessed man.

Their practice room was on the top floor of their mansion and he had to quickly go down the stairs and pass the kitchen. Not to mention that the mansion was so big, but luckily, he had long legs.

He ran to the back of the house to find the most heartbreaking yet glaring image he had ever seen.

Felix being pinned to the wall, a man holding him by the throat and Felix didn't even seem to be conscious.

"You motherfucker!" Hyunjin yelled as he grabbed the figure's wrist, his nails digging into the man's wrist drawing out blood, enough to make the figure loosen his grip.

Hyunjin pushed the man away on the ground who was clutching his bleeding wrist.

"How dare you even think of laying a finger on him, you bastard!"

After that, there was no mercy for the figure as Hyunjin kicked and punched every inch of the man until he started bleeding from head to toe. His anger blinded him completely as he hit the figure to a slow death until the man was not moving, nor were his loud screams to be heard anymore.

Sensing that his threat was now dead, he turned to Felix who was laying on the ground not moving a limb. He dropped on his knees, picking up Felix's small body in his arms.

"Felix?" He called to get no reply. He brushed Felix's blonde hair out of his face. "What did he do to you?"
