CHAPTER 17: Hoseok's Music Box

Once again you were left alone in the white painted room. You looked at your left wrist, the wound stopped bleeding but it still hurts when you moved it. Trying to lay down you decided to close your eyes. You imagined that you were in your favorite park as a kid. You mother and father were sat on a bench and you played with your childhood friend. You never heard from him again after he graduated elementary school, as the both of you played you looked at him with a smile and presented him the small sand castle you build in the sandbox. He was four years older so you always looked up to him as a wise boy. His family was very close to yours. His mother sadly left him in a carousel and never came back, so your mother took the role to be like a mother to him. She would visit the little boy often and bring food for him. You looked at the boy beside you and you noticed happiness in his eyes.

"Oppa~ what is that?" you asked while pointing at the little music box.

"It's a music box, Y/N. My eomma gave it to me on my birthday." Said the little boy while a smile formed on his lips.

"When is your birthday oppa?" you asked curiously while looking at the mysterious box.

"Today is my birthday... on the 18th February." Said the boy calmly.

You of course sang to him which made him really happy.

After looking back at this small memory you started to think more and more about the past and the present. You looked over to the calendar that hang in one of the room's corner and looked for the date today.

"Happy birthday... Oppa, I hope that your dreams came true as a little boy." You said quietly while looking out of the window.

"What was your name? How do you look like today?" were the questions that started to form in your head. After a while of thinking you heard a music box. The familiar sound came from a nearby room and you wanted to know if you were dreaming or not. The sound became louder until you found Hoseok standing by the doorframe with a music box.

"Do you really mean what you said?" asked the boy shyly with a shaky voice. Your eyes widen and you slowly re-positioned your body to sit down. Hoseok sat beside you and placed the music box on the night stand. He opened one of the night stand's drawers to reveal a small first aid kid and placed it on his lap. He took out the key and freed your left wrist.

"So that's what you did with your life today..." was all you muttered leaving the boy in his thoughts.

"I'm sorry about earlier. I really mean it, I don't know what came over me and-" he got cut off and felt a hand that laced with his.

"You know, I don't know how to react but you were my childhood friend, Hoseok. I want to know why you hold me hostage right now. Why are you so aggressive towards me? I thought we wouldn't see each other again and all I wanted to do is to see you all grown up." You explained while slowly looking into his eyes.

"I-I'm so... s-sorry Y/N. I missed you so much and I'm thankful that you and your family looked after me when no one cared. Now your parents are dead and no one is here for you. it's just you and me." replied the guy sitting next to you. after that it was really quiet except for the music box that still played in the background. Hoseok took the first aid kid and treated your wound with care. After that he stood up and was about to leave but he stopped in his tracks when you called him. He turned around to look at you.

"I uhm... T-Thank you Hoseok for being so nice to me..." you slowly stuttered while smiling at the boy.

"I'll leave the music box with you so you have some company." he said while leaving you there. He locked the door because he didn't handcuff your wrist. The window was locked too so you had no chance of escaping but you walked around the room. You opened the small dresser that was located in one corner of the room. You looked at the various clothes that were stored there and you decided to change into something more comfortable.
