A House Made of Cards {Ateez au}

♧Prologue 8 - Wooyoung♧

Wooyoung was perfectly sane.

He grew up in a small house with his mentor, Taehyung, and Taehyung's son, Soobin. Taehyung found Wooyoung alone on the street and decided to train him to become the purple witch. Wooyoung had asked why he was chosen instead of Soobin, and the man just said that Soobin did not want to take the powers.

When Wooyoung was ten, he developed a crush on a boy named Yeosang.

Also when Wooyoung was ten, he and Yeosang became close friends.

When Wooyoung was thirteen, he received his powers. It was earlier than most witches got their powers but Taehyung was so excited he couldn't wait.

After receiving the powers, Wooyoung's crush on Yeosang grew. He became obsessed with the very idea of him. He wanted so badly to tell him how he felt. But he could never bring himself to do it. Too many questions filled his head.

What if he doesn't like me?

What if he likes someone else?

What if he's into girls?

He cringed at the last one. The other two were something Wooyoung could control. He was the witch of love and compassion. He could probably find a way to sway Yeosang's emotions just a little if he had to. Right?

When Wooyoung was fourteen, he planned to confess to Yeosang.

He had planned everything out. Everything would be perfect. Yeosang would feel the same way and they'd be happy together. Maybe even own a cat. He was so excited.

Wooyoung was fourteen when he found out Yeosang had a boyfriend.

Choi Yeonjun. That was the boy's name. How Yeosang could be attracted to that would always be a mystery to Wooyoung. But it doesn't matter. Yeonjun was only a minor annoyance. He'd confess and Yeosang would realize how stupid he's being and come to Wooyoung.

If only that's how it went.

"Woo, I'm sorry I already have a boyfriend," Yeosang had said with a sad look on his face.

"You don't have to stay with him, Yeo, it's okay," Wooyoung had responded with hope in his eyes.

"Wooyoung, I'm dating Yeonjun, I like Yeonjun."

Wooyoung responded with an indifferent "Oh". The conversation was over and done with. He'd been rejected. But that's alright. Yeosang was confused. He didn't know any better. He's not capable of making his own decisions. He needs to be protected. 

 Like a baby.

Wooyoung was fifteen when he committed his first murder.

' He had to play the role of Yeosang's best friend, comforting him after he lost his boyfriend.

How sad.

Wooyoung was sixteen when Yeosang found out what he did.

The older boy was horrified. He wouldn't stop crying, he blocked Wooyoung and wouldn't let him come near. Of course, Wooyoung had to do something before Yeosang did something he'd regret later, like call the cops.

He had to understand that what Wooyoung did was from a place of love. Yeosang didn't understand that, clearly.

Yeosang had vanished off the face of the Earth after calling the police on Wooyoung. Wooyoung was arrested.

It wasn't until he was seventeen that Seonghwa and his two other team members broke him out of prison.

They had taken him back to their base, where they explained their mission. Kill the other four witches. They showed him files and shared stories. They wanted revenge.

He wasn't fully in until he saw the photo of the golden witch. He admired the familiar, smiling face.

He knew what he needed to do.

And Wooyoung loved a good revenge story.
