Jaemin drops to his knees beside Jeno's body and frantically grabs his face in his hands and begins vigorously tapping his hand against his cheek.
"Jeno! Jeno wake up!" he cries out, "What happened? Why won't you do something?"
"H-he...he uh...he caught me using one of his books and when he confronted me, I accidentally knocked him out," Jisung lies lamely.
Jeno, you son of a bitch! Don't tell him that!
"How? How do you manage to accidentally knock him out? What were you doing?" Jaemin exclaims as his head snaps towards Jisung, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
"What do you mean? What's wrong with them?" Jisung asks with genuine confusion.
"They're red," Jaemin answers, "You know what, fucking never mind. This conversation can wait. Just help me wake him up." Jaemin places the palms of his hands over Jeno's temples and closes his eyes. A faint, warm glow radiates from his hands, and suddenly Jaemin's brow furrows deeply.
"What the..."
"Let's carry him to his bed," Jisung quickly interrupts him.
"Something's wrong. Jisung, something's very wrong with him," Jaemin announces before hastily placing one of his hands on Jeno's chest. Once again, light emits from him, and Jisung's stomach drops. Jaemin suddenly shrieks and withdraws his hand just as quickly as he placed it there.
"There's nothing! Jisung, there's-"
Jisung snaps his fingers and Jaemin suddenly collapses on his side beside Jeno's body.
"I'm so sorry, baby. I can't afford for you to stop us," Jisung sighs. He leans down and presses a soft kiss against Jaemin's lips.
Jeno quit kissing your fucking boyfriend with my lips, you disgusting son of a bitch!
"Oh shut up you oversized giant and let's go get Chenle back," Jisung grunts to himself with a roll of his eyes.
****
Jisung wanders into the middle of a clearing at the far end of the park. No one in sight, anywhere.
"Show yourself, coward," Jisung hisses.
Suddenly, someone taps his shoulder firmly. He spins around and spots Xiao standing behind him with a wide smirk that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame.
"Where's Chenle?" he instantly asks with much irritation.
"Ask and you shall receive," Xiao hums.
With a flick of his wrist, the ground nearby starts crumbling away. It forms a large, wide hole where flames burn high and bright. Through the fire, Jisung can spot something. The flames lower until a large black cage is revealed. Inside is a boy with blond hair on his knees. His ankles and wrists are bound together, and his mouth is sewn up in a cross-stitch.
Chenle!
"Chenle," Jisung gasps.
Suddenly, Xiao grabs ahold of the collar of Jisung's shirt and yanks the taller towards him. His free hand is clenched into a fist in front of his face. He opens his palm to reveal what looks like blackened ashes inside. Xiao then blows out a powerful puff of air, and the black substance flies into Jisung's face, causing all of the particles to get into his system. Jisung starts coughing and sputtering.
Suddenly, Jeno gasps awake. He flies up, realizing he's back in his study with a sleeping Jaemin beside him.
"Fuck!" he screams.
Xiao knew.
