through the broken compass

CHAPTER 1 HELLEVATOR

Han's Pov:

"I will never be a kid again, all the carefree times are over; Perhaps I have to make my own path, but how can I do that when I don't even know which foot to stand on? I feel so oddly lost, it's like I have forgotten everything I have learned through life." My phone started to ring; breaking my axions thoughts, it was Bangchan, I picked it up "Oi mate where are you? We are all waiting for you" oh shit, I had totally forgot that we were supposed to meet "Uhm I'm on my way don't worry" I lied, Bangchan laughed "Mate I know, you are lying; you are probably still in your room." he laughed even more "it doesn't matter, just hurry meet us by the basketball court." the Aussie hung up before I could say anything "stupide fucking anxiety, it trapeses me in this hypnotic state where I forget all about time and place." I hurried out the door and ran. Changbin was holding the basketball, he threw it at me "Time you showed up huh?" He laughed "yeah." I said with a slightly fake chuckle, he eyed me a little, before turning around and saying, "lets split into 2 teams, so we can start playing." I was teamed up with bangchan, Minho, and Jeongin The other team was Changbin, hyunjin, Felix and Seungmin. It should have been fun, I love basketball, but it was like I couldn't fully committee to the game, my mind was a completely different place "HAN WATCH OUT!" But it was too late, the ball hit me on the head, and I was knocked to the ground. Bangchan rushed over to me "Han, are you okay?" He held out his hand, and helped me up "Yeah I'm fine, I was just a bit distracted" I gave him an assuring smile, he returned it, and looked at the others "how about we take a little break, yeah?"

They all sat on the ground "Then what should we do?" Changbin asked "We could always go over to the old building, the one where we used to hang out a lot" Bangchan said "Oh good idea" Felix answered "we haven't been there in ages" everyone stood up and walked towards the old building. It used to be a school, but that construction has been empty for over 30 years. It is a little creepy, but I didn't really matter because that place held so many good memories, memories from when they were younger it was their safe place.

Bangchan's Pov:

I am walking with, Jeongin we don't talk, but we can both sense there is something wrong, I lean in closer "what is wrong with Han?" Minho glanced at him, Han was walking by himself staring down at the ground, he was in his own world. Minho looked back at me and whispered, "I don't know, but he has been a little of the hole evening." we looked at him again "Do you think he is okay?" I asked, Minho shrugged, "I'm going to talk to him." he was still looking at the ground, I put an arm around him "Hey man are you okay?" he looked at me "Oh yeah I'm fine don't worry" he gave me a weak smile, but we both knew it was fake. I kept pushing "Are you sure?" he pushed my arm off "Yeah!" he said with a little bit of aggression in his voice. He turned his head indicating me to drop it, but I didn't "why won't you tell me what is wrong?" he didn't acknowledge my question "hey answer me!" He turned his head and yelled "WHY CAN'T YOU FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE, DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE HINT? I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" He stormed off "HAN WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Minho yelled after him, but he didn't answer. Everybody stood completely shocked, I hadn't expected that strong of a reaction from him.

Han's Pov:

I actually really enjoy going to the old school, it's very cozy...... well sort of, we tried to make it nice, since the old building kind of looks like it's haunted, but to me it didn't matter. We would always come here after school, it was a place where no one would tell us what to do, so we ran around yelling, laughing, just having fun without worrying about what other people might think of us. One time when I came here alone, because I had a really stressful day, and I just needed to clear my head, I sat on the sofa, we once found, and had put it in there, I remember sitting silently crying for myself. Then all of the boys came running and jumping on the sofa. which as a result made the sofa tip backwards with all of us on it. All of my sobs were replaced with laughter. A slight smile creeped to my lips at the thought of the warm memory. An Arm was wrapped around my shoulder, with snapped me back to reality; it was bangchan "Hey man are you okay?" he looked at me with a worried expression "Oh yeah I'm fine don't worry." I tried to smile the best I could, but I knew that it didn't look believable, and I know he knew it too. "Are you sure?" I got a little annoyed and pushed his arm of me "yeah" my voice sounded a bit harsher than what I attended, but I just wanted him to leave me alone. I turned my head hoping he would get the hint and leave me alone, but he didn't he kept pushing, "Why won't you tell me what is wrong?" I felt the anger grow inside me "why can't he leave me alone?" I though "Hey answer me!" at that moment I snapped "WHY CAN'T YOU FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE, DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE HINT? I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" I walked away quickly "WHERE ARE YOU GOING" one of them yelled. As I was walking, I felt really bad for yelling. I didn't mean to explode like that, he just kept pushing the wrong buttons.

Han still wanted to go to the old school, he also wanted to apologies to Chan and the others for yelling, he decided to take a different way to the school, so he could clear his head, and plan what he wanted to say. Han was almost at the school when something chough his attention, it looked like an olde entrance, he walked a little closer, it was an elevator.

Hans Pov:

"What the fuck, I have never noticed this elevator before, and I have walked here a hundred times" I walked all the way to the elevator "this is so weird" I thought to myself "should I go in? WHAT NO! What am I thinking about, this is too sketchy...... But I do also really want to go in there. Maybe it's not the smartest choice but I let the curiosity get the best of me. I opened the door to the elevator and took a big step in, it looked super old and there was rust on the floor. I turned around, I saw all of the buttons 3 floor 2 floor 1 floor. I froze the next Butten was red "Hell" this must be some sick joke, the boys are properly behind this "Haha guys very funny, but sadly I won't fall for it, you can get out from where you are hiding" But nothing happened "hello guys?" yet again nothing, I faced the buttons "what would happen if I pressed the hell button?" I let my finger slide over the button. I don't know what came over me but in that moment i pressed it. The elevator began to move, but for some reason I didn't feel scared, I actually felt relief, when you spend your whole life worrying you forget how nice it feels to just flow. But something that was a little strange was that the elevator didn't go down, it went up. I closed my eyes and when it reached the top it was nothing like I expected, there weren't dead bodies all over the place. It was a big field with purple flowers

Felix pov:

"Why would he run away like that?" We are all frantically running around looking for Han. Nobody had expected that reaction from him, because he usually never gets angry, actually before this I don't remember the last time, he yelled at someone. He is a really caring person, but Han has also been struggling with anxiety all his life, and lately the thought of growing up has really been scaring him. He doesn't like not knowing what is going to happen. Bangchan walked up to me "Did you find him?" I Shake my head "We will find him i promise" I smiled. Channie really cares for us all; he is a mix between a big brother and a dad. So, when Hannie stormed away, he felt so much worry and guilt. I decided to go behind the school to look for him "HANNIE" I yelled "HEY WE ARE SORRY, PLASE DONT BE MAD AT US, CHANNIE IS REALLY WORRIED" but then I noticed something strange "why is there an elevator in the middle of nowhere? I took a step closer "GUYS COME HERE I HAVE SOMTHING TO SHOW YOU" I look through the little window in the elevator door "This shits old" I mumbled." I heard a voice "Felix what did u find?" it was Minho, he walked beside me "An elevator, what is that doing here?" the rest of the boys stooped up behind us "Do you think Han took the elevator?" I.N asked, "Idk Innie" I answered, "what is that?" Changbin said as he pushed his way through us. He picked up something inside the elevator "Isn't this Hans bracelet?" My eyes widen "Yes, it is, he took the elevator!" I looked at the other we have to take it "we have to take it" "NO absolutely no-" Channie didn't get to finish his sentence before Seungmin interrupted him "shut up old man" Chan gave him a death stare "We have to find him Channie" I.N said. Bangchan looked puzzled before he gave up "Okay" we all hurried in the elevator

Bangchan looked at all of the buttons a noticed the red button "this must be it" he said and pressed it. And up they went, but it was weird, it was like all of their stress from looking for Han was gone. A burden was lifted off their chest, the elevator finally stopped, they walked out and looked around and at each other "Why does this feel better? And why don't I feel stressed at all?" Banchan said, "THERE HE IS!" Felix yelled. They all ran towards ham "Han I was worried sick" bangchan said while he hugged him "Chan I'm so sorry I didn't mean to yell, I just got so overwhelmed and then-" Han he got cut of "Shhhh its okay, what is most important is that you are not hurt" The elder put his arms around Han and he began to sniffle "it's okay" he comforted Han " It's all good now. Han looked up at Chan and the others "You know what guys?" the others looked a him a shook their heads, han continued to speak "something tells me this is only the beginning." Chan looked at him with a smile "then we'll have to find out by then, for know lets just enjoy" 

so the 8 boys took the hellevator to find their own better place, but what will happen in the future, will all go as planed or will there be bumps on thier way?
