Double Knot

Chapter Seven

  Minhyuk had been out all day shopping for Kihyun's birthday. Even though his birthday wasn't until next month, he wanted to be prepared.

  As he was leaving a store, he felt someone watching him. He always knew that people were looking at him because of his idol status but this felt different. He looked around cautiously, slipping his sunglasses on to disguise himself at least a little bit.

  As he started to walk towards home, he felt a hand on his shoulder soon followed by the barrel of a gun. His eyes went wide and his breathing quickened.

  "Listen to every word I say if you want to live." A man's voice said lowly.

  "Y-Yes sir." Minhyuk whimpered before the man pulled him back into an alleyway and pinned him against the wall. The man pulled his hood off to reveal his face. It was JYP.

  "M-Mr. Park!" Minhyuk gasped in shock.

  "Shut up! I know you know where Bang Chan is. Tell me! Tell me or you die right here!" He growled.

  "I-I swear, I don't know anything!" Minhyuk pleaded. He knew that the Stray Kids boys were staying at his dorm but he didn't want to jeopardize their position.

"Don't lie to me... Where are they?"

"I swear I have no idea! I barely talk to them! Please don't hurt me!" Minhyuk pleaded. JYP scowled before tossing him back into the sidewalk and running away down the alley. Minhyuk panted as he ran back to the dorms.

When he burst through the door, he saw some of the Stray Kids members and Kihyun, Jooheon and Hyungwon sitting in the living room. Kihyun noticed his panicked appearance and stood up worriedly.

"Minhyukkie hyung? What's wrong?"

  "J-JYP! He had me at gun point and he was... He was l-looking for them! He was looking for Chan!" Minhyuk stuttered as he shook in fear. Kihyun wrapped his arms around him and rubbed his back soothingly.

  "It's okay, hyung. You're safe." The younger male whispered softly as he guided Minhyuk to the couch.

  "Min, I'm so sorry... This is my fault..." Chan whimpered. The boy that had been strong for so long had tears spilling out of his eyes. When he got like this, the only person that could soothe him was Woojin. Since he was no longer here, Minho stood up and hugged him close.

  "It's okay, Channie. It's not your fault. It's okay." Minho whispered. Chan sobbed into shoulder, his shoulders shivering from the intensity of his cries.

  "Jooheon, lock the doors. We need to make sure he can't get in just in case he tried to follow Minhyuk. We need to keep them protected." Hyungwon said sternly as the younger boy hopped up and ran for the door. The rest of the Stray Kids members sat there not knowing what to do or how to feel. Jeongin cuddled closer to Seungmin and Felix held Changbin's hand tight. They were lost and they didn't know what to do.

After a few minutes had gone by, you opened the door to the bedroom and walked out. Hyunjin stood up and walked to meet you, wrapping an arm around your waist and kissing your temple.

"How do you feel?" He asked softly.

"Better. Baby was just tired and needed me to sleep. We're okay now." You smiled softly, kissing your boyfriend's cheek lightly. He smiled back at you, nodding his head before guiding you to the couch. You nuzzled into his chest while the rest of the group tried to finalize a plan.
