Twilight//Woosan

33

Wooyoung heard the door creak open and cracked his eyes open, letting out a breath when Jen was the person to walk through. He lifted his head a bit, adjusting his wrists in the rope that still held them, he was finally beginning loose feeling in his arms. Jen gave him a small smile and walked into the room with a small tray, setting it on the side table before turning towards the bed.

"How do you feel today Youngie?" She asked gently undying the rope around hus wrists. He winced when his arms were lowered, stiff from being in the same position for so long.

"Better?" She asked again, turning to pick up the tray and lay it on the bed next to him. Wooyoung nodded and slowly sat up, body now in a constant state of soreness.

"Yes, thank you" he whispered, a raspy pained tone to his voice.

"Remember we have to be quiet, if we got caught then i would get in trouble, alright?" She spoke quietly and Wooyoung nodded again, reaching for the tray. She had brought him some more food. He only got fed once a day by the guards, usually it was just small peices of bread. Boss said that it was part of his punishment. He was used to eating with the crew, having enough food to maintain a healthy body weight. But now he was weak and underweight again, ribs showing slightly through the skin of his torso. He felt like he lost all muscle that he had. He was starving.

He carefully picked up a small piece of meat and brought it to his mouth, chewing slowly. Jen could never bring him much for fear of being noticed but she always brought him something, even if it was small. She smiled gently as Wooyoung ate. She reminded him alot of Seonghwa, they both had that mother-like presence or atleast what Wooyoung imagined a mother to be like.

He finished quickly and pushed the tray back to her, "Thank you"

She nodded at his soft thanks and took the tray back, setting it on the side table again.

"How was day?" He asked her quietly, looking up finally. This was their routine, she would come and bring him something and then they would sit and talk about her day so that Wooyoung wouldnt have to think about his.

"Pretty good but I think father is getting suspicious, I will have to be more careful" she spoke and Wooyoung nodded, a worried look crossing his face.

"You be okay?" He asked and Jen leaned forward to gently grab his hand. She held it and squeezed a bit, hoping to give some comfort to the younger.

She sent him a soft smile, rubbing small circles on the back of his hand, "you dont worry about me, I'll be fine. I dont believe that he will hurt me"

Wooyoung bit his lip and nodded at the reassurance. Even if he had only known Jen for a small amount of time, he had grown to care for her. She helped him when he thought that no one would and that meant more to him than he could ever say. To him, she was just another part of his little makeshift family.

"Okay, be careful" Jen nodded and made a silent promise that she would. They sat in silence for a moment before they heard voices coming down the hallway. The guards were making an early round.

"Shit. Okay Youngie, I have to leave a bit early today. I need your arms, I'm sorry" Jen spoke in a hushed voice, looking at Wooyoung with an apologetic expression. Wooyoung sighed and nodded, moving to lay on his back and give her his arms. Jen stood and reached for the ropes that were attached to the headboard, placing them around Wooyoung's small wrists. She finished retying them quickly, making sure that they were slightly looser than they were earlier.

"Dont worry Youngie, I will be fine and they will come to get you soon. We will get you out of here" she bent down to press a soft kiss against Wooyoung's forehead, running her fingers through his hair.

"Everything will be okay, I promise" with that she was gone and Wooyoung was alone once again.
