After the rain

Sociopath

Changbin felt fuzzy, confused and dehydrated as he awoke again. He licked over his lips, trying to swallow, but feeling his throat aching. "Lix...?" his throat was killing him. "Jin?" he slowly started to understand. Water... he needed to drink. Inhaling deeply, he grabbed the glass of water beside him, bringing it to his lips and taking a sip, then, another one, until the glass was empty. Actually, he felt terrible. And the headache didn't stop as a sudden voice appeared from behind him. "Hyung!" Hyunjin... The next second, two arms slung around him and he felt groggy and dizzy as the taller one rested his chin in the older one's shoulder. "How was your sleep?" Exhausting. Changbin felt like he had been sleeping for two days straight, so tired... he could barely hold his eyes open as he let himself fall back and lean against Hyunjin comfortably. "Where are the other two?" He heard the younger one gulping audibly.

Instantly, he got suspicious.

"Hyunjin, where's Felix?" he opened his eyes, despite feeling as if someone had stepped onto him. The taller one didn't answer. "Hyunjin. Where is Felix?" He wanted to get up, but Hyunjin held him down without much effort. "I'm sorry. Seungmin took him."

Stay awake.

Changbin shot up, just to be held down by Hyunjin once more.

Don't fall asleep.

He didn't even know when Hyunjin had pinned him down on the floor, pressing him down easily by his shoulders.

For Felix.

For Felix. He needed to stay awake. Hyunjin was smiling at him and for a second, he felt his world going black. "Hyung." He wanted to sleep. "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry..."

When Felix opened his eyes, he felt weird. He was cold and couldn't really move. However, he understood the situation he was in rather quickly, blinking against the sunlight that shone through the pine trees. He was outside, being carried by something strangely comfortable, yet hard. And he was cold, so, so cold. "Hyung..." he gasped, his voice hoarse as he moved a little, noticing his hands were tied in front of his chest and so were his legs. He sat on a wheelbarrow, going forward anywhere in the forest. "Wakey, wakey!" shouted Seungmin from behind him, making him jump in shock. "Seungmin?" his voice faded, eyes wide as he spun around in his seat, coming face to face with this scary grin. His heart fell as he registered that his hands and feet were tied together. "What are you doing?!" he shouted at the red-haired one, making him huff in response. "Taking you back, idiot."

Felix felt helpless as he struggled to get into a comfortable position to somehow get off the thing carrying him, just when Seungmin stopped. The ginger was about to roll over the edge and land on the ground as he heard a sigh coming from behind, then, two bony fingers clawing at him, one hand tangling in his hair, the other grabbing him harshly by his pullover and he was yanked back ungently. "I can carry you, if you'd prefer that." Seungmin took the wheelbarrow again and lifted it, walking on without giving a care anymore to Felix speeding-up breath. "Why?" the younger one was close to loosing it. His eyes were still swollen and his cheeks were puffy from before, from his breakdown, and Seungmin just didn't seem to notice it a little bit. "Why?" he asked again, turning his torso, so he could face the older one again and made him look down. "Because I want to." Came the answer and Felix swallowed. "Don't bite your lip!" the ginger jumped in scare as Seungmin suddenly shouted at him. He didn't even realize he had been chewing on them. "I tell you every day, but you just can't listen." The older one scolded and Felix shrank back, turning away again and pulling his shoulders close to his body.

"You're so annoying."

"It's all your fault."

"Why can't you listen?!"
