DAY 88 {a kaisoo fanfic}

Chapter 2

The words echoed through his mind. "Hello Soosoo, I'm Kai."

That voice, that horrible voice. If you didn't know him, know what he's capable of, it could almost be sweet. Sickly sweet like poison. Kai. Kai. "Kai," he muttered, "why me?"

His head shot up. Did he hear someone snickering? Or was it his imagination running wild. Was he slowly going crazy, was he finally losing his mind after being in isolation for years. Wait, it hadn't even been years. It hadn't even been twelve days. Kai had told him.

"Sorry I'm doing this darling, but I've got to keep you here a while. Otherwise you'll do things I don't want you to, and I'm not going to let that happen, now am I?" He laughed. A laugh that, would you be unlucky enough to hear it, would chill you to your bones. "I know you're hungry Soosoo, don't worry you'll get a treat soon. When it's been twelve days."

One of the worst things was not knowing why? He didn't know what on earth he had done to deserve this. Why had Kai chosen him? What was so special about him? With these thoughts he drifted into a restless slumber.

Kyungsoo sat straight up immediately. A loud clang that sounded like a steel pipe being thrown at the wall had woken him. "Hello? Is someone there?" He asked to the dark room. Then he hesitantly added, "Kai?" No answer.

There was a new water bottle, just like before, but something was off. Kyungsoo felt it as soon as he had grabbed the bottle. None of the bottles had ever had labels on them, and this one did. "What the fuck..." It was too dark to see it, so the search for something that gave any form of light went on. He did the same as before, he fumbled around the entire floor within reach of his arms and legs, which wasn't very far, as he was still cuffed to the wall. Then he scoured the walls. He twisted left and right hoping there would be something. His left arm was stuck between the wall and the pipe that the handcuffs where fastened to, when he came across something that felt like a loose stone. He grappled and scratched at it until something fell on the ground and he quickly picked it up.

As soon as he held the object in his hands he knew what it was. A lighter! His hands were stiff and cold so it took a while before he was able to light it. The light was so extremely bright that Kyungsoo shouted out and dropped the lighter to shield his eyes.

After a few careful tries, he had gotten a little more used to the light and was able to read what was very cursively written on the label.

There's a soft spot on the wall
Write pretty please
Then I will give you a treat

"What the fuck does that even mean?" Kyungsoo muttered to himself. A soft spot? It's a freaking stone wall, how could there be a soft spot. Then he thought of something. While he was searching for the lighter there had been a small patch on the wall that had felt differently. He maneuvered his right arm behind the pipe to which his hands were still fastened to and reached out at about knee height. It wasn't long before he found the spot. He turned on the lighter and saw that the spot was white instead of the gritty grey of the rest of the wall.

His right arm wasn't getting much circulation because the pipe was too close to the wall for his arm to fit behind properly, so he had a bit of trouble trying to scratch the words into the wall with the lighter.

"Dammit!" Kyungsoo shouted as the little plastic object slipped out of his hands. He could hear how it bounced on the floor and scattered to the other side of the room, "Shit shit shit." He muttered furiously. He couldn't reach it anymore, it was gone. The only source of light he had had in the twelve days he had spent in this dark hellhole was gone. He laughed. It was one of those empty laughs. The one you use when your boss tells you to do something you just can't physically do on time. "I'm gonna go insane... I'm gonna go insane and die here." Kyungsoo desperately wailed. "You know what? Kill me! Just kill me right here, I don't care." He shouted into the darkness. "Just stab me or poison me or something, and please have a fucking blast doing it you son of a bitch!"

After this sudden burst of anger, he fell to the ground and cried. He didn't know for how long. He just cried. In all the time he had spent in this place he hadn't cried once. But now he couldn't stop it anymore.

***

A little while later he decided he would try again. He needed to eat something and he knew that if he managed to scratch the words 'pretty please' on the wall he would get something to eat. So he tried again. However, this time he had nothing to scratch with except his fingernails.

Scratching the first letter, the P, went fine. However, the second letter, the R, hurt, so he used a different finger. After the first word was finished his frail fingernails started to break off, but he went on. After he had finished both of the words, three of his fingers were bleeding from under the nails and the rest were hurting like hell.

But thinking of the fact that he would get something to eat, made it okay. He didn't care that he was bleeding. Then suddenly, from the corner, a clapping sounded.

Letting out an utterly and completely psychopathic laugh, Kai sniggered as he turned on the little electric lantern he was holding and slowly moved forward, "You did very well my love, very well indeed." He crouched down before the boy and went on, "I'm very proud of you, now I'll give you a treat just like I promised." He took Kyungsoo's bleeding hand in his. He was extremely focused as he inspected the hand very closely. Then he suddenly looked Kyungsoo straight in the eyes. Kyungsoo couldn't move an inch, but well who could if they had a full-blown psychopath standing in front of them.

Slowly and very carefully Kai started to lick the blood off Kyungsoo's fingers. Kyungsoo tried to pull his hands away, but he was quite a bit stronger than him and had no trouble keeping him in his grasp. Kyungsoo tried to make a sound, tried to say something to stop this repulsive act but only a whimper came out.

Kai moved very close to Kyungsoo's ear and, in his sickeningly sly and sweet voice, said, "Do you know how incredibly adorable you are when you're scared." Then he got up, took a little plastic packet out of his pocket and dropped it in front of Kyungsoo. He left through a door in the wall that was impossible to spot if you didn't know it was there, leaving Kyungsoo alone with the electric lantern and plastic packet on which he could read the letters 'COOKIES'.
