bad alive {dong sicheng}

38

by the time lucas got his shit together to tell kun, it had been hours. 

he had clutched the phone in his hand and sat in the dark during those hours, crying to himself. 

it was really the first time he had ever allowed himself to be selfish in his love for keni and although he had every right to do so, he picked the wrong time and the wrong situation.

he was usually the sweetest boy, always putting everyone else's needs before his and when he fell for keni, he felt himself slowly changing. he didn't want to share her with anyone else, let alone winwin, who had a knack for breaking keni's heart.

he had no idea when or how he fell for the girl but he remembered the moment he finally figured out his feelings.

it was the day that they had gone to the park together. the same day that he had gotten kidnapped. it was in a fleeting moment where he looked at her that he knew. 

she seemed to constantly shine brightly in his eyes and even though she was a badass and fully capable of protecting herself, he wanted to stay by her side and protect her himself. 

but she always went running back to winwin no matter what the situation was. like how lucas was addicted to her, she was just as addicted to winwin. 

an unrequited love.

but the least he could do was alert kun and go and save her and winwin. after all, he only wanted her to be happy. 

he erased his previous thought that he might have a chance with winwin out of the picture. he knew it wasn't true. he would never have a chance with the girl and that's because she only saw him as her best friend.

he had no idea that keni had even once thought of maybe liking him, but maybe that was for the better.

as the van filled with wayv members rolled to a stop in front of an eerie looking warehouse: where winwin was supposedly being kept, lucas stepped out with the rest of the boys and sighed.

"anyone see keni?" kun asked and the boy shook their heads.

"if only lucas found her phone earlier, she should've arrived her ages ago. she's probably inside," kun said and lucas hung his head down low.

the members stormed through the building, weapons at the ready but the entire place was silent. 

not a single person appeared to confront them and they were unnerved. surely the security would already be aware of their presence by now. 

so where was everyone?

a singular cough sounded and the boys pushed through a few doors to find the source.

lucas froze when he opened a metal door.

"winwin," he breathed out.

there he was. laying on the ground in a pitiful position, bruises and blood displayed in all glory on his entire body. keni was still nowhere to be seen.

winwin had barely any life left in him but he mustered all his strength to speak, "you're too late. they took her back to china."

lucas clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face.

all because of his stupid actions, she was now gone.

~

china.

"i'm so glad you made the right decision to come with me darling?" chen liu, keni's mother spoke.

keni rolled her eyes from her defensive position in the cramped, furniture-less room, "i had no choice. you would've killed him."

chen liu crouched down to her daughter and looked her in the eyes, "let me tell you something darling, love makes you weak. look! you sacrificed your own life to save his."

keni cracked a smile, "you could say i'm a fool for falling for him."

chen liu gave her daughter a weird look, "you're my bait. your father will pay a hefty sum for you. we won't harm you till then."

keni put the pieces together, "you love him."

chen liu looked at her sharply, "what did you say?"

"you love him," keni said softly, almost feeling pity for the woman, "there's no other explanation for why you would still be acting this way. love may have made me weak, but at least it didn't make me a psycho like you."

one hand slapped across keni's face in rage.

i'm back.
