"I'll be heading back then," Chan said, standing on both feet, he turned to the others with a look of expectation, "you all better be going to sleep before I get back, Changbin, buy dinner when Bambam, Yugyeom, Jisung and Minho comes back, I'll be back within an hour or so."

"Yes, Mom," Changbin humored, in which some of the other members laughed at a bit, Chan shook his head with a chuckle, his hands situated on his hips, "take care."

"Aren't you forgetting something, Chan?" Seungmin asked, tearing his eyes away from the book, "The pain killer I made, I want you to let the new member have it after the punishment."

"That's nice of you, Seungmin," Chan commented, "never have I ever seen you have a moment like this, it's quite rare."

Seungmin shrugged his shoulders, "Take the opportunity then," he replied before returning to his book, minding his own business again.

"Tell Yugyeom to carry Jeongin back to his room," everyone, excluding Seungmin and sleeping Jeongin, nodded as they listened attentively, "I'll go tell his brother that he'll be fine with us for tonight," Chan said as he brushed away some strands of Jeongin's bangs away from his eyes, "He did well tonight."

Hyunjin sighed, "Too bad the new guy didn't make it," he stated, the others nodding in agreement.

"We'll be training him the day after tomorrow," Chan said, "I suggest that you all maintain your routines and find new techniques, also, figure out shortcuts as much as you can."

"Yes, leader." The others said in unison.

Felix was near to slumber until the metal door's locks clicked open one by one, waking him up from his sleepy state, replacing the calmness within him with fear, Felix swallowed hard when the final lock clicked open, the person on the other side pushed the door open, the material making a squeaky creak, revealing Chan's silhouette.

"I'm back," he said coldly, "I did as you told me," he stepped into the room, and as he shut the door, all the locks automatically locked, Felix slowly lift his head up, his vision blurring by exhaustion, and maybe, pain, "now let's resume to where we left off to."

Chan approached Felix, unlocking the cuffs on his wrists, the freckled lad falling forwards to lead him to kneel on all fours.

"Get up, Felix." Chan said to which Felix tried to get up on his own, yet he didn't have the strength anymore, every time he attempted to rise from the ground, he would fall down again, but irritation got to Chan first, making him pick Felix up by the collar of his shirt.

It was another round of punches and kicks, Felix didn't resist and let Chan beat him, Felix had spat blood already at the final blow, all the yells of agony and pain were converted into tired pants and sounds of Felix gagging and spitting out the blood that remained in his mouth, the metallic taste made him grimace and lie flat on the floor like a starfish, his eyes screwed shut, his stomach churned in pain, making him curl up on the floor like a fetus as it got worse.

There were three knocks heard on the door before all the locks were clicked open, the tall and skinny figure entered the room with a tray in his hand.

"The loser's dinner," he said, "you've done quite a good job, Bang Chan." Yukhei looked at Felix with an impressed expression etched along his facial features, and at Chan, who was actually glaring at him that moment.

"Shut up, Yukhei," Chan scoffed, "it's not like I am enthralled to do this fucked up shit thing," he growled, the last thing that he ever needed to be was in that place, the stench of metal and blood weren't so welcoming at all, the darkness in the room felt like it can swallow you whole, and you wouldn't know what the time is if you stayed in there, it's horrible.
