Pretty Temptation [] SKZ x Felix

-×-

  The second they were gone, Hyunjin yawned, glancing over at Jeongin and Seungmin who were already scheming. The gray haired man yawned before grabbing Felix's arm and pulling him into a hug.

  "Can we tour later?" Hyunjin asked quietly, his arms around Felix's waist in a protective, yet clingy manner. The two other gave him a look.

  "Uhm, no. We have to show him my level, obviously," The blonde commented, before grabbing both of their arms and dragged them towards the portrait in the divide of the the grand staircase. Jeongin seemed eager as he walked straight up the stairs, dragging Felix and Hyunjin right behind him. As he reached the top of the platform, he continued to walk up on what seemed like invisible stairs til he walked straight into the portrait. Felix, being pull along went through as well.

  It felt like a moment of cold, lonely silence. He didn't feel like he was moving. He couldn't even feel Jeongin or Hyunjin anymore. It was vulnerable space, a sort of storage space for emotions, since it was overwhelming.

  The second he was back in reality, he felt the small pull of Jeongin on his arm as he fell through the portrait, landing on his knees. The blue haired boy glanced around the room, his head spinning slightly. All at once, the emotions of the room hit him. It was a sense of determination, agony, and anger, along with the underlying feelings of avarice. It made his head spin into a headache.

  "I feel sick," he commented shortly, as he began to stand. The ground trembled slightly.

  Jeongin laughed as he dropped Felix's arm, "Welcome to the eternal doom of hoarders and spenders."

  The room was dark for a moment when a gold arch formed with a dragon, snake mix slithered up, making light break into the room. Jeongin and Hyunjin walked up to the edge. Felix glanced back at the portrait, seeing Seungmin sitting on the floor.

  "Seungmin, are you okay?" The man asked, extending his hand to Lust. A look for embarrassment flooded over his face as he quickly grabbed the hand offered.

  "I'm fine," he said quickly, "Go ahead. I'm right behind you."

  Felix felt unease and motion sickness through Seungmin's hand. The blue haired man smiled gently, pulling his hand back. Lust was good at hiding it, despite for Felix's abilities.

  "Okay then." He said with a smile before walking through the archway to look for Jeongin and Hyunjin. Hyunjin was lounged on a chair, his head sitting on his hand. Jeongin however was on the edge of a pit, looking down at something. Felix glanced down at said pit.

  Thousands were shoving boulders at least six times the sized of them. People's were bleeding in many places. It's shocked Felix as he saw people sliding down the pit, slipping on the blood of the others around. The boulders rolled and messed other people up, causing people to start yelling and arguing. The sense of hate-filled air, pain, and desperation made his headache worse.

  "Jeongin... Why are they pushing boulders?" Felix asked quietly, his eyes staring in fear.

  "Whoever manages to get their boulder over the edge gets whatever they want. It's an eternal loophole because regardless of how far they get, it gets too steep and the boulder will just fall," he giggled, his fingers tapping the edge of the pit.

  Hyunjin yawned in disinterest as he slowly began nodding off. Felix glanced away from Hyunjin and back at the pit. It was cruel, it really was.

  Felix stared back at the people arguing and saw someone's boulder roll towards them. It was big enough to hit five people, and definitely big enough to hit them.

  "Jeongin, those people are going to get hit-"

  "Lixxie, it's fine," Jeongin eased, scooting beside the blue haired boy, "They deserve it, silly. Plus that happens so often. How else does the blood pool get so full?"

  "The what...?"

  The blonde sighed before standing up and pulling Felix with him. He pulled him towards a room, a fountain full of blood. There wasn't even a bad smell. His eyes widened.

  "That's horrible," Felix yelled, covering his mouth with his hand.

  "Sure, but it's hell, Lix," he simply replied, his smile growing bigger at Felix's discomfort, "This is one of the least cruel levels, well beside maybe Changbin's."

  Seungmin popped up from behind, "Changbin's floor is barely a punishment. It's just him being treated like a king and they all have to serve him. If they defy or something like that, they die."

  Felix blinked, "This... Isn't it cruel? Don't you see that?"

  The boys shrugged, "That isn't our issue. The person that decided is the big man upstairs. It isn't my call, I just do what I'm told," Seungmin clicked his tongue, running his hand in the blood fountain,

"I was just told to make life hell," Jeongin added.

  Felix stared. He felt sick to his stomach.

  Hyunjin looked at Felix, a small frown on his face, "...want to go to my level...?"

  The blue haired boy's eyes met the grey ones. A look of pure uncertainty met a look of pure indifference.

  "We better not. Hyunjin's isn't really... A pretty sight," Seungmin said gently, "His is just cruel."

  "Awe~ I like Hyunjinnie's floor. It's kind of funny," Jeongin said with a little smile.

  Hyunjin didn't look away from Felix, "...only if you want to."

  All three pairs of eyes waited for his response. He didn't really want to go, but he knew he needed to find out what was going on down here.

  "Fine..." He managed to say. Seungmin gave a look at the portrait on the side.

  "Lixxie~ Can we walk together instead of going through the portal again?" He asked sweetly, wrapping an arm around Felix's shoulders.

  Jeongin jumped ionto Seungmin's back, "Not happening!''

(A/N:
Uh... So it's been a while. And updates will probably be really slow because of school and I've kinda lost motivation for this book. I'll try my best but it's hard.

With all love 😚)
