Knock-out

A/N: Not to be insufferable and annoying, but I encourage you to follow my twitter (Lies_labyrinth) Sometimes I talk about this story there and it's like me talking into the void because people don't know what I'm talking about. Plus, I'd really like to follow and interact with you guys in an insane and unhinged way and I cannot do that here properly on Wattpad. When I'm not posting about writing, it's chaotic thoughts that I've just gotta get out of my brain. My real personality shines so bright on Twitter.  Anyways, enjoy <3

When Kiera woke up the next morning, she was met with Felix bouncing on the balls of his feet. A lollipop was already in his mouth and a grin stretched across his face. "Good morning!" 

"Why are you in such a happy mood?" There was still a dull throbbing in the back of Kiera's head. She didn't feel nauseous anymore and she didn't feel dizzy, but she still didn't feel completely back to normal. "I don't know what time it is, but it feels way too early for this." 

"Yeah, it's six in the morning. I came to give you some Tylenol for your head. Plus, I have good news! You're going to be so excited to hear this." 

"What?" 

"We're going to the Bella-Nova!" 

"The huh?" 

"Oh, right. Why would you know what that was?" Felix frowned and pulled the lollipop from his mouth. His grin returned a few moments later. "It's Hyunjin's art gallery! There's a special part in the back that we're going to stay in." 

Kiera's eyes widened in shock. She knew Hyunjin owned an art gallery, but it wasn't anywhere near Washington DC. "We're near Chicago?" She couldn't hide the slight shriek in her voice. She didn't know she was so far away from home. 

"Actually, we're in Chicago. Anyway, you've gotta get up because Changbin is letting you use his shower." He paused and pursed his lips together. "Well, not really," he shrugged. "It's more like Channie is forcing him to let you use it, but you get to shower with Changbin's soap! You're gonna smell so good! Come on!" 

Felix watched Kiera intently as she swallowed the two Tylenol pills and washed them down with water. He led her out of the bedroom and into another room where she could shower. He gave her a stack of clean clothes and disappeared outside the door. While she locked the door and showered, Felix plopped himself down in the hall with Chan's phone. 

He played a few games on it while he waited. Eventually, Kiera stumbled out of the bathroom engulfed in a faint woodsy scent of pine. She struggled to keep her eyes open. For some reason, she was exhausted. 

When the door opened, Felix quickly stood up. "Are you alright?" 

"I don't know, I'm so tired." 

He shoved Chan's phone into his back pocket and pulled Kiera into a hug. He began to rub her back which only caused her sleepiness to increase. "Don't worry about it, Kiera. I've got you. Let me carry you back to your room." 

She could only weakly nod as Felix picked her up bridal style and took her back to her bedroom. She struggled to stay awake once he put her back in her bed. He smiled at her and sat down next to her. She had her eyes closed, but she was aware of the dip in the bed. 

"Just go to sleep and we can talk again when you wake up, okay? I'll be right here waiting for you. Don't worry about anything. Let all your worries drift away. You don't have to be scared anymore." Felix leaned over and gently brushed a stray piece of hair out of her face. "Sleep tight, Kiera." 

He felt bad for deceiving her. The medicine he gave her hadn't been for pain relief. They had been sleeping pills to knock her out. Chan didn't want her to cause any issues on the way to the Bella-Nova. Felix had insisted that everything would be fine, but Chan disagreed. Whatever Chan wanted done, he followed him. 

So when Chan came in and grabbed Kiera to take her to his car, Felix followed after him. He sat in the backseat behind Chan's seat and helped pull Kiera into the car. Felix gently placed her head in his lap and played with her hair the whole car ride there. 

When they arrived, Chan took Kiera through the empty gallery, into Hyunjin's office, and all the way through the hidden bookshelf. He placed Kiera on the couch and let Felix take off the sunglasses and beanie that they had placed on her to hide her identity while they drove. 

The next time Kiera woke up, it was because of a soft sizzling sound. She was faintly aware of the smell of meat cooking. She blinked a few times trying to clear away the stagnant haze that hung above her head. 

"You're alive!" Felix called out. 

She met his eyes and blinked in confusion. He took his eyes off his Nintendo Switch and looked at her. Kiera was sprawled out on a white leather L-shaped couch. Felix was across the way tucked into a large cloud gray bean bag with a baby blue blanket wrapped over his shoulders. A stuffed wolf was down between his legs. 

She pushed herself up and glanced around the room. The walls were a soft shade of sage green. Multiple white framed paintings hung along the walls. A large flat screen TV sat on a white stand in front of the room. She had no idea where she was. 

"Are you hungry?" Felix asked. 

"I guess so?" 

"Thoughts and opinions on hamburgers and french fries?" 

A yawn exited her mouth and she shook it off. "It's a classic American meal that never gets old. As long as I get to pick what goes on my hamburger and the fries are salted, I don't have an issue with it." 

"Good because Lee Know is in the kitchen making lunch and Channie wants to talk to you while we eat."
