"What do you mean he left?" Seungmin questioned, his eyes widening at the news of Changbin's departure.

"Last night he came into my room and said that he thought it would be best for him to leave Supernova," Red replied gravely.

"But...But why? This is going to crush Felix," Woojin said, glancing towards the room that the Australian was still asleep in.

"He left to protect Felix," Red answered.
Though Changbin hadn't come out and said those exact words, she knew that was the reason for the raven haired boy's withdrawal from the team.

"Protect him from what?" Chan questioned.

"From Osiris and the rest of Crimson Vector," Red explained.

"I won't go into detail, but Changbin's upbringing wasn't the easiest. The day he was born, Osiris took him away and killed his parents. He took over Crimson Vector in their place, and he used Changbin as a test subject. Ever since I helped him escape, Osiris has been searching for him."

"So what, he's sacrificing himself to the enemy?" Jisung questioned in horror.

"...not exactly," the leader replied.

"Then what's he plan on doing? And why did he leave?" Jeongin questioned.

Felix's eyes opened. He reached to the side, half expecting the older boy to be beside of him. Since he was in Changbin's bed, the raven haired boy's scent was all around him, and he felt at peace. But, when he didn't feel the older boy's presence, he sat up slowly. It was still pretty early in the morning, but since he'd gone to bed a lot earlier than he normally would have due to yesterday's incidents, he felt refreshed. As he straight his back, he found that Changbin's jacket had been draped over his upper half. Lightly smiling at that, he clutched the jacket tightly to his chest, reveling in the fact that it smelled of Changbin; like pine and all things lovely.

He looked around the room, but there was seemingly no sign of the older boy. But, Felix didn't think that he'd left. That thought didn't even cross his mind. He figured that the raven haired boy was out training in the backyard; because God knows Changbin couldn't go even a day without getting at least an hours worth of training in. The Australian removed himself from the older boy's bed and slipped on his jacket. He wasn't cold or anything, but the jacket made him feel comfortable and safe. Since all the clothes he was wearing belonged to the older boy, Felix was surrounded in his scent, and that made him the happiest person on the planet. The only thing that could have made him happier was to have the scent coming straight from on the source.

With that in mind, he made his way out into the living room where everyone (except for Changbin) was gathered. He immediately had the feeling that he was missing out on something, but his desire to see Changbin and make sure that the older boy had eaten breakfast was more prominent than the desire to figure out what the others were talking about without him. They all stopped talking when they saw him, and that gave him a really bad feeling. All eyes were seemingly on him, and he didn't like that very much.

"Do you guys...Know where Changbin is?" He asked, though he was hesitant to speak because of their intense stares.

Nobody answered at first, but he could feel that something was very, very wrong, just from the way that all of them were looking at him. It's like they had bad news to give him, and he started to feel uneasy.

"Come sit," Seungmin spoke up, and there was an edge to his voice that made Felix's heart sink lower.

Unconsciously, he pulled Changbin's jacket tighter around his body as he made his way over to the couch. Seungmin gave up his seat for Felix, but because of his racing and thoughts and his uneasy feelings, he forgot to say thank you. But, the redhead didn't mind. Not at all, because he knew that Felix was about to get a truth bomb dropped on him that would destroy him in more ways than one.
