Symphony of Renewal [A SKZ FF]

Chapter 22: Lines Crossed

Third Person POV: (Flashback)
Felix checked Miya's room first, obviously. He couldn't even count the number of times he had knocked on her door, only to get no response. He then hesitantly entered the room, finding it empty, which was to be expected. In fact, her bed was neatly made. She clearly hadn't come back to the dorm at any point after she had left.

This was when he started getting frantic. He checked the bathrooms, the kitchen and outside. He even checked places where he knew she couldn't be, such as the others' rooms. He even checked the living room, even though he had just been there. The other members gave him confused looks, wondering why he was moving so quickly and erraticlly. Felix just brushed them off, however.

Felix then went to his room, deciding to tke a short break. He called Miya's line. It was late. She had to pick up, right?

The line was unresponsive.

His eyes widened as he almost threw his phone. He let out a frustrated sigh, running his fingers through his hair and messing up his perfectly styled hair. His thoughts started to go astray, his heart heavy with anxiety. He decided to head back to the living room. He knew that the others probably wouldn't care, but he just had to tell someone.

Miya Centric: (Flash back)
Miya's feet finally came to a stop, her chest heaving with the effort and anxiety she had exerted while running. She put her hands on her knees, panting as she tried to catch her breath.

She looked at her surroundings, trying to discern where she was. She seemed to be in some sort of secluded park. There were also barely any other peope around right now, which was goof for her. She just wanted to be alone right now.

She headed to a bench near the back of the park. It wasn't able to be seen easily unless you were specifically looking for it.

She took a deep breath as she sat down, the tears that she had been holding in finally pouring out. She pulled out her Airpods that she happened to have on her, her tears were coming out like it was raining cats and dogs. She put on the saddest playlist she could find. It was a rare moment that was occuring right now; Miya letting it all out.

She thought about everything that had happened since she was announced as the ninth member of Stray Kids, especially what had just occurred. The pain when she hit the table, Minho and the other's faces as they took in the sight of her pain, and Felix's pissed and then hurt face. She had landed on her arms and back, those parts of her now bruised and aching in pain. So much has happened, and she hasn't even officially debuted yet!

She didn't realise how much time began to pass as she moped...

Third Person POV: (Present Time)
The others didnt respond, avoiding eye contact with Felix. They had been waiting for Felix as they reflected on the day's events. They had noticed that Miya was nowhere to be seen or heard of. They had also noticed Felix's frantic searching.

Felix let out a sigh, pacing around the living room.

"You don't get it, do you?" He said suddenly, as the others just look at him. "It's not about your pettiness, or how much you don't want Miya to be in the group. She's actually in a risky situation where she can get seriously hurt! And thanks to one of you, she probably can't defend herself well right now." He glares pointedly at Minho when he finishes speaking.

Chan stands up, feeling like he need to do something and calm Felix down.

"Felix. Listen-" He starts but is cut off.

"No. You listen and sit down." Felix says, his tone so stern that the older had no choice but to comply and sit down.

The rest didn't dare say anything, sensing that Felix wasn't going to listen until he spoke his mind.

Felix takes a deep breath, preparing himself for the amount of talking he was about to do.

"In fact... you're the leader, Chan. Aren't you? You're supposed to set a good example for the other members, but you've done anything but that. One of the best leaders in Kpop, my foot."

Chan winces at Felix's brutal but true words but listens silently, knowing that the latter is not wrong.

Felix turns to Seungmin next. "And you, Seungmin. You've been the worst when it comes to saying things about Miya. Not to mention, you were behind those 'pranks' of those to 'mess with her'. And to think you're the leader of VocalRacha."

Felix shakes his head in disappointment, making Seungmin feel like a little child being scolded by his parent as he averts his gaze to the floor.

He then turns to Minho. "And last but not least, Minho. You've been the worst of them all, however that's possible. You're the second oldest after Chan, and yet you're hurting and have even gotten physical with the maknae on more than one occasion, who you're supposed to protect."

For the first time ever, Minho looked kind of... guilty? It was hard to tell, though.

Felix looked at the remaining four that he didn't talk about. "And you four. Don't think I forgot about you. I didn't want to spend too much time by scolding all of you, so I picked three examples. Regardless, all of you have failed. It's like I don't even know who you people are anymore."

Felix finally finishes talking, rubbing his temples as he tries to catch his breath.

No one said anything for a bit. The tension in the room was so palpable that it could probably be sliced with a kinfe.

As Felix begins walking away in the direction of the bedrooms, he stops before saying.

"By the way, if anything's happened to Miya... I'm telling JYP."

Whoops! Looks like Felix is mad

I was supposed to update yesterday and the day before that but I wasn't feeling up to it😞

I've also been thinking about whether I should make this other story or not. It's not related to Stray Kids or Kpop, though. I'm still undecided😖
