the kids don't wanna come home | SVT BXB

"rescue"

the sixth time chan was concious for long enough to at least observe his surroundings, he was met with a different scene than the dimly lit room from the other times - wonho seemed to have brought him into his living room, since he was laying on a couch, with sight of the kitchen table. his ankles and wrists were tightly chained together, he couldnt exactly pinpoint what material it was, but it seemed to be pretty strong.

slowly, footsteps approached from somewhere behind the boy and before he was able to turn around enough to see who it was, the scent of wonho's cologne had already reached his nose and a pair of strong arms wrapped around his taille.

"looks like you're awake, huh?", wonho whispered deeply, "kihyun wants to meet me - i guess you'll have to wait here alone. do you think you can do that? be quiet and dont break anything, you heard me?"
chan nodded, his voice stuck in his throat. what was kihyun gonna talk about with wonho? he just prayed to god he wasnt going to die soon - he still wanted to start his life, maybe find a boyfriend...

wonho closed the door behind kihyun, seungcheol and jeonghan, before gesturing to the table. "sit down, ill get you all a glass of water." 
seungcheol nearly jumped up again and hit the man, but jeonghan sent him a glare. "thank you, that would be nice", kihyun nodded, mastering the best smile he could afford at the momet.

kihyun had known the old wonho, and seeing that shadow of the guy he once was hurt more than he had expected. hyungwon's death had obviously destroyed what had been a nice, humble man with the sweetest smile on earth.
and now, that psycho had a teenager in his hands, just because changkyun and he had thought it would be a good idea...oh, how foolish.

wonho sat down with them at the table, facing kihyun, with seungcheol and jeonghan left and right from the criminal. "so, what did you wanna talk about, yoo?"

kihyun nearly choked for a moment, remembering how he and wonho used to do that thing were they only called each other by their last names, it had started as a joke, but that was no more.

"chan, lee."

"oh, the boy. do you want me to get rid of him? wasnt that what you called me for?" wonho leaned back, grinning as he saw how seungcheol was fuming, his fists clenched tightly. but jeonghan's hand on his shoulder restrained the boy from doing something stupid.

"no", kihyun shook his head, "i want him back."

"why? i dont want to give him back to you." wonho mockingly mirrored the action.

"give him back. i dont want him to die. or suffer in your hands, you psycho!" kihyun raised his voice, but the older didnt seem to be fazed even a bit.

"you call me a psycho?"wonho giggled silently, "i just pay him back what damage he did to me, nothing more - then you can have him back. his dead body, to be precise."

"NO" seungcheol finally snapped, getting up so harshly that his chair fell back. "YOU WILL GIVE HIM BACK OR WE WILL TAKE HIM BACK!"

"oooohhh is that a threat?"

"no. it's a promise."

"then i would like to see you try."

suddenly, kihyun's phone dinged. he shot an apologetic look towards wonho and looked at the message. it was changkyun, telling him that they had gotten chan out of there safely, and would be at the nearest hospital since the youngest was seriously injured. kihyun sighed, winking at jeonghan who got the message immediately.

both stood up, jeonghan snaking a hand around seungcheol's waist and dragging him with him, in an - successfull - attempt to calm him down.

"im sorry, but we have to go. see you another time, and i hope you'll be cooperative next time." kihyun bowed slightly and the three were already out the door before wonho could even comprehend everything.

but before leaving the man he had once known and even had a crush on (but who could blame him, everyone would fall for wonhos charms), kihyun turned around one last time and smiled sadly at wonho.

"please think about where you're going - i know its hard without hyungwon, but he would want you to live on and make his dreams reality, not waste the time you have. 

lee."

that was the last time anyone on earth saw lee hoseok, better known as wonho, alive - he committed suicide at midnight, overdosing on sleeping pills.
