The boy lead Jaebum out the hall doors and into the main hallway. They ran to the back entrance of the castle, which would lead them to the garden. The blue knights scrambled after the boys, and at the moment, Jaebum felt a surge of energy.

"They're still running after us. Yugyeom, send out the flyer." The boy said aloud, Jaebum furrowed his eyebrows, confused as to who Yugyeom was. "Wa-Wait..." he breathed, but the boy continued to run.

They ran down the back entrance stairs and into a rose-wall maze. Pink roses with dark bushes flooded into Jaebum's sight. Confetti from the celebration continued to fall from the sky, covering the once gray gravel ground to a walkway of color.

"Wait!" Jaebum cried out again, trying to pull his hand free. What am I doing?

"We can't wait, we have no time." The boy said calmly, making another turn into the maze. Jaebum stayed silent, but still tried to pull away. His armor clanged with his struggle, but after another slight pull, he was free.

The boy stopped running and quickly turned around to grab Jaebum's hand again, but Jaebum pulled his hand out of his grasp. "Can you just tell me what's going on? I don't even know you." Jaebum snapped, as he tried to catch his breath.

The boy breathed in once, and looked at Jaebum sympathetically. "Just trust me... please? I don't have time to explain right now, but I promise I will tell you everything when the time comes." The boy whined out, his eyes searching behind Jaebum, knowing they will be caught soon if they don't continue to run.

What do I do? I'll be leaving behind all this? For someone I don't even know... I don't know anything!

"Please, just run with me." The boy pleaded, holding his small hand out in front of Jaebum.

"He must be over here!"

Jaebum turned over to where the voices were, his fists clenched as conflicting thoughts made their way into his head. And after a few seconds of irrational thinking, Jaebum sighed.

"Fuck- let's go." He said, taking ahold of the boy's hand once again. And then they were off, down more twists and turns of the maze. And to Jaebum's surprise, it seemed that the boy knew exactly where he was going.

After a few more minutes of running, Jaebum could see an exit over the boy's head. At the exit was a small machine the size of a car, with wings on its sides. Inside the machine was a tall boy, in all black from head to toe.

"Yugyeom! Start it up!" The boy shouted to the taller. The said boy sat down in the machine and with a single button, the machine started to sputter and wheeze. It's wings shaking and flapping uncomfortably fast.

The boy holding Jaebum's hand leaped over the aircraft's wings, pulling him with him. They both landed in the back, armors clashing against each other.

As the machine started to lift off the ground, the boys could see a troupe of blue knights heading towards them. Anxiety filled Jaebum's heart, and with the rush of adrenaline he shouted, "Let's go!"

With that, the aircraft took off into the sky. It shook violently, but was stable enough for Jaebum's heart to calm down.

He let out a sigh of relief as he deflated against the aircraft's metal back. He watches as the boy stands up, taking off his armor and throwing it out into the sky.

Now he only wore a simple yellow hoodie, with light blue jeans. "Yugyeom- boots." The said boy nods, reaching into a compartment in the front, and pulling out a pair of warn out black leather boots.

Jaebum watched as the boy put them on, the sound of the aircraft's wings filling the silence. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what.
