【Original】The Forgotten Lights

----Chapter 25

*Hansol's POV*

I woke. I could hear a truck running. I sat up, and looked around. There was no one else with me. I knew where I was I recognised it, considering how dark it was. I was on a bench, in the back of an enemy truck. "Mmff!" In attempt to yell, I made a muffled sound. My mouth still had tape over it. Then suddenly, I could feel myself beginning to cry. As the truck skidded to a halt, I flew off the bench, landing on my face. It was hard to reposition myself onto the bench. My hands were tied behind me. I looked to the back of the truck as the door opened. The man said something, and grabbed my leg. He dragged me out the truck. The bright sunlight hit me, and my eyes had a hard time adjusting to the sudden array of light. He shoved me into the enemy base, and down a corridor. They untied me, and ripped the tape off my mouth. I cried in pain as the tape peeled off some of the skin on my lips. There was now blood running down my face, a sudden pain in my ear as a blue clip was attached onto the lobe. They then shoved me into a room. I collapsed as I was forcefully thrown to the hard ground. The door slammed, and locked. How did this happen? I sat up, my arms were aching. My face had blood pouring from it. I was crying. Great. I then heard quick footsteps. I looked up. "Are you okay?" A boy asked, kneeling down and helping me up. I nodded. He helped me over to a bed, and we sat down. Another boy had a cloth

and put it over my mouth. "Here. Hold it on your mouth. The blood will eventually stop." He said. I put my hand over the cloth. I looked around. There was three other boys in the room with me. They all were quite skinny, with a blue clip attached to their ears, a lot like the one I had, but all different numbers. I stared at the boys for a little while. "What?" The third boy said. "You look like you've never seen people before." He was laying on the bed opposite where I sat, on the bottom bunk. I looked down to the ground. The ground was very dirty, and there was mould growing up the side of the walls. It was disgusting. I began to cry. I left the base. Kris will be worrying. The boy who gave me the cloth walked over, concerned. "Hey, hey!! It's okay!" He turned to the one sitting on the bed opposite. "Don't be rude to him, Jay. There has probably been some drama before he came here." The boy said, growling at him. Jay sat up. "Yo, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to upset ya." He apologised. I shook my head. He didn't need to apologise. I took the cloth off my face. "Don't take it off yet!! It probably hasn't stopped!" Jay exclaimed. The other two looked at me concerned as well. "It's okay." I replied. I coughed a little. "Please, for your own sake, put the cloth back on your face." The one who had given it to me said. "It might get infected if it is out in the open." He continued. I obeyed, and put it back over my face. I attempted to say sorry, but all that came out was "Sommry." The boy chuckled. "Doesn't matter." He replied. "You better rest." He said. The boy who was sitting next to me got off the bed. "This will be your bed." He said, pointing to where I sat. He climbed up to the bunk above me, and the others went back to their beds. "We'll talk later, Ok?" Jay said.

There was some chattering coming from our room. I opened my eyes as I sat up. The cloth fell onto my lap. "Hey, sleeping beauty decided to wake up!" Jay chuckled. I smiled, and dangled my legs over the edge of the bed. My stomach where the bullet hit a few weeks ago was starting to hurt again. It must've been from when I was thrown in here. The others looked to me. "You okay?" Jay asked. I nodded, then a large jolt of pain blasted through my body. The wound from the bullet was sending signals throughout my entire body. I clutched my stomach. "Argh!!" Jay quickly ran over. "Lie down!" Jay exclaimed to me. I obeyed, and placed my head on to the firm mattress. Jay lifted up my shirt slightly. The other two gasped as they saw the wound. They were lucky it was wrapped with bandages. "My god! What happened to you?!" One of them exclaimed. "I-I g-got shot." I replied. They all looked distraught. "I can't believe you survived it!" The other one exclaimed. Suddenly the pain was gone. I attempted to sit up again. Jay almost pushed me back down. "No. It's alright, I can sit up." I said. Jay stood quietly, and walked back to his bed and sat down. The others sat on the dirty floor, on cushions. "What is your name?" Jay asked. I looked at him quietly. "My name?" I questioned. He nodded. "My name is Hansol." I replied, looking at the others. Jay smiled. "I'm Jay." He said. I already knew, but it was nice to be introduced. The boy who gave me the cloth raised his hand quickly, with a big grin. "My name is Min-Min!!" He exclaimed. It was an interesting name, it wasn't often used in my part of our city. The other boy smiled slightly. "I'm Kwon." He greeted. I figured he didn't like to talk much. Well, Kris was like that. So I didn't mind. "So, want to tell us about why you're in the enemy's base?" Jay asked. I hesitated, but I figured they probably had just as bad stories as I did.

I told them the first half of my story. I almost teared up having to bring up Ma's death again. They both nodded, listening quietly. Min-Min looked at me. "That is horrible!! But how did you end up here??" He questioned. I looked to the ground. "I am not sure whether you'd like to hear it or not." I replied. Min-Min smiled. "Yes!!! I want to hear it!!!" He exclaimed. Jay gestured me to carry on. So, I began.

*Kris' POV*

I threw a punch at Jungkook's face. "It's all your fault!!!" I shouted, painfully. My heart was aching. Hansol was gone, and he was gone because our stupid father yelled at him. "You should never had yelled at him!!!" I threw another punch at the man's face. He coughed slightly. Siha pulled me away from Jungkook, and Taeil helped him up. "What the hell was that for, Kris?" Taeil shouted. I looked at him. "Did you not hear me? It's his fault Hansol is missing. He yelled at Hansol. He made Hansol leave. Now Hansol is gone! It's all his fault!!" My voice was louder than usual, and I disliked the fact that Taeil was questioning me. Siha looked at me slightly. "Look, Kris, we are all upset that Hansol is missing. Don't take it out on Jungkook." He said calmly. Siha was taking his side. I pushed Siha away from me, and stormed off.
