Courage in the Game (Completed)

Feelings

CAP POV

Last night was interesting; I had been put in a room with the other leaders. Suho, G-Dragon, and Aaron. Why did they put all of us leaders in one cabin? I was trying to figure that out when Niel ran up to me.

"Hide me," he pleaded, backing behind me.

"Why?"

"Rose and Lucy."

I was confused. "Who?"

"Two girls from Midnight I think. They saw me earlier and have been chasing and stalking me ever since," Neil explained.

Midnight? Oh yeah, the group Aaron was the leader of. A scream broke my thoughts.

"Neil oppa!" A girl had screamed.

"Oh no. Not again," Neil said, still behind me.

I saw then it wasn't one girl, but two. These must be the girls Niel had told me about. Rose and Lucy. They ran up to me. Oh no.

"Give up Niel oppa," they demanded.

I looked from one to the other. One caught my eye. Long wavy dark brown hair, cute face, clear blue eyes. It made my heart act weird. "Sorry, no can do ladies. I have to take him with me cuz we have group matters to talk about."

I know Niel would thank me later as I grabbed his arm and dragged him away with me. I glanced at him and saw relief in his eyes. And I thought we were going to get a break from the fangirls. This trip wasn't going to be very good.

"Thanks, hyung," Niel said before walking off.

We had walked far away enough from the girls so he could take off on his own. Would I have to help him the entire trip? I hoped not. I wanted to be able to enjoy this place myself and not have to worry about him. But I couldn't help worrying about him. Niel was the fragile one of the group, anything would break him. We had learned that the hard way a few months ago. Neil was with this girl and they had been together for almost two and a half years. I could tell Niel had loved her with everything he had, but that changed one day. We had gone to an arcade because we were bored, and soon we were wishing we hadn't. The girl Niel was with, was in a corner by one of the games making out with some guy. Niel had seen this and it crushed him; he loved her but she apparently didn't care for him. She had said she was with him because she was bored and needed something to do. I had watched as Niel's eyes misted over, it was for sure that he would cry.

Before I could get to him to pull him away, Niel ran out of the arcade. The rest of glared at her and walked away. Then I heard L.Joe curse her out a bit, he was the most protective of Niel. Niel was a little brother to him and good luck to anyone who messed with Niel and L.Joe found out. They would have more than hell to pay. I heard him say that if we ever saw her again or if she tried to contact Niel, she was going to wish she hadn't. I had to go back and pull L.Joe out of the arcade with us. If I hadn't, he may have gone to jail. As I said, L.Joe was very protective of Niel.

Once we were outside of the arcade, we looked both ways to see if Niel was just outside, but he was nowhere to be seen. L.Joe panicked and demanded we look for him. So we looked. I sent Changjo back to our dorm to wait there in case Niel showed up there and divided the rest of us into pairs. I went with L.Joe and sent Chunji and Ricky out. I still don't know how long we spent looking, but we couldn't find Niel. We looked in places we thought he would be and places we knew he wouldn't be, but he wasn't anywhere. 

I began to share in L.Joe's panic. We had to find Niel; he couldn't stay out on his own like this. Both L.Joe and I grew desperate to find him. The sun was setting and it was getting dark and cold out. We even searched for hours after that. I stopped when I got a text from Ricky calling off the search for the night. Reluctantly, we stopped and went back to the dorm. I had never seen L.Joe so torn up. None of us slept that night, we were all too worried about Niel to sleep. We knew we had practiced the next day, but we didn't care.
