-----------------------------

Hwang Hyunjin, a twenty-two year old young man, whose life was completely normal until three years ago. Until his parents found out something about him that they shouldn't have. You have to know that Hyunjin is currently still living with his parents, because he should have moved out long ago, because he found a free room in a shared apartment on the Internet... more or less with a poly couple who agreed to take him in, but they still had to take care of a few little things before Hyunjin could move in there and so he had to stay with his parents in Daejeon until he could go to Seoul and move in with the poly couple.

He was happy about it, his parents were happy for their son too, but that all changed on that one day. At the age of nineteen, Hyunjin experienced something he never thought he would have to experience. Hyunjin is an age regressor, he was always between the ages of 2 and 4, but after his parents found out this little secret and locked him in the basement for years, this changed and from then on he was always in baby space or between the ages of a baby and 1 or 1 ½. His parents were unrecognizable, they gave him just enough food to survive and otherwise he was trapped down in the basement.

Hyunjin did nothing but cry, cry until the tears stopped.

So many things went through his head, mainly why people he valued until recently were suddenly so cruel. The poly couple who have probably been waiting for him since the last time he was able to get in touch. Everything was going so well, so why is it suddenly going downhill now? He didn't understand it. He no longer had a sense of time for anything, but what he did know was that his parents probably made a mistake countless years later. They were just about to get Hyunjin something to eat and drink when their phones rang.

They put it down right in front of him and ran up the basement stairs and left everything unlocked. Minutes later, Hyunjin heard the front door and an engine start and that was the moment when Hyunjin got up, ran up the stairs to his room, grabbed his packed things and got into the next best taxi and off to the train station. There he got on the train to Seoul and was finally able to breathe again. Two hours later he arrived at the train station in Seoul. Of course he hadn't thought the whole thing through well enough, because now that he's here, where should he go? He sighed. He grabbed his things and just walked off so he could get away from all the staring eyes.

When he arrived in a park, he sat down on the bench and stared at his luggage for a while. He fumbled his phone out of one of the travel bags and turned it on. After he had entered his PIN and password to unlock the phone, he looked at the time and saw the date. It was 12:30 a.m. and March 20th. His birthday. Which meant that after three years of being imprisoned in his parents' basement, he managed to escape on his 22nd birthday. He started to cry. That wasn't how he had imagined it, but he never would have thought that his parents could be like that too, so anything was possible for him now.

He sat in the cold of the spring weather for a few hours before he pulled out his phone again and looked through his messages. He found the countless messages from Bangchan, the boy he was writing to, about the room being free. From the second point he disappeared, they were just worried messages, but one message caught his eye. 'Whatever it is that you're not answering anymore, we'll keep the room free for you. You just have to get in touch with me again.' Tears gathered in his eyes again until, with shaking hands, he sent a simple 'Hey'.

He didn't know what to do for the remaining hours until its morning again, so he just sat on the bench and waited for what would happen or not happen. At some point, when it was already getting day again, Hyunjin's phone rang. Without even looking at the caller, he answered the call and heard the at least somewhat familiar voice of none other than Bangchan.

"Hyunjin?"

"..."

"Come on, talk to me."

"..."

"Okay.. it's okay.. we'll find you and then take you home okay.."

"..."

And then the call ended. The reason for that? While Hyunjin was listening to Chan, he saw a familiar car, and when the people got out, panic shot through his whole body, he dropped his phone, which broke immediately, grabbed all his things and ran. He didn't even know where to go, but he ran. He didn't want to go back to the basement, ever again. On the way across Seoul, he found a side alley that looked exceptionally clean. Before he even knew what he was doing, his legs brought him to what turned out to be a dead end, but there was enough space to hide himself and his luggage. So when he was hidden, he tried to calm his breathing again and then looked for his phone.

When he tried to turn it on and it didn't work, he lost control of everything. Out of frustration, he threw his already broken phone out of the side alley and curled up into a little ball, where his thump found his way into his mouth. He sniffled to himself, not knowing what was actually going on. While Jinnie was busy with his big and far too many emotions, a group of young mens noticed the thrown and completely broken phone. "That came from here, didn't it?" one of the boys whispered and the others nodded in response.

"I'll look... you stay here and only come when I call you, okay?" With a quiet murmur from them, the said man made his way into the side alley, and the closer he got to the garbage can and container, the more clearly he heard the quiet sniffling and whimpering. With slow and steady steps he approached the creature, whatever it was, because he didn't want to scare it. What he didn't expect, however, was that he would see a young man sitting there, probably at the same age as three of his boyfriends.

When Jinnie felt the presence next to him, however, he looked up immediately and let out a scream. This of course alarmed the others, who came running even though they should have waited. Jinnie, who assumed that it was the evil people who locked him in the basement, hid behind his luggage while desperately trying to calm down. "Hey... Hey... it's okay... it's okay... we won't hurt you... I promise..." A unknown but gentle voice told him, so he fell silent and peeked out from behind his suitcase. Jinnie looked directly into seven unknown, yet worried faces of handsome young mens.

"Shhh... we won't hurt you, okay... you can stay hidden behind your luggage if you feel safe, but I promise you that we won't hurt you... we want to help you..." The voice said again. Jinnie, who didn't understand anything of what the man in front of him was saying, still stared at him with big, curious eyes.
