Taekwoon hated this. Hated this more than anything. Half a week had passed, and it was the night of his wedding that would save his sorry from being drafted. Yeah, he knew his parents did it because they loved him, but couldn't they have picked someone....older maybe? It wasn't that he didn't find Hongbin attractive, no the male literally dripped beauty, it's just...he didn't want to prevent this boy from living out his dreams, doing what he wanted in life. This marraige just seemed unfair for someone who was so young.

   Standing in front of the full length mirror, Taekwoon felt a presence behind him, slender and pale arms reaching around to fix the bow tie he was struggling to attach.

   "Taekwoon dear, it's almost time." He inwardly groaned at the sweet voice his mother was using.

   "I know mom, I'm ready, but is he?" Taekwoon asked, referencing Hongbin. The older had thought it over for the past 4 days, and knew what he was doing was wrong, but he couldn't just disobey his mother. They only wanted to protect him. That day though, Taekwoon made a promise to himself to never touch Hongbin in any way he didn't want, or felt appropriate, and he would never interact unless he wanted to as well. He would be married to Hongbin only by name, and would let the younger do as he wished.

   "Sure he is, he has known all his life that this day would be coming, I'm sure he's ready" she cooed back, gently running her fingers though her son's hair.

   "My Taekwoon, you have grown to be so handsome" she said, choking a bit on her words. Feeling alarmed, Taekwoon spun around, eyes darting wildly to see if his mother was alright. To his surprise, and confusion, she had tears glistening in her eyes.

   "Mom?? What's wrong? Is everything okay? DAD!!" Taekwoon called out, panic taking over until he heard the soft laughter of his mother. Confused, he turned to her again.

   "Sweetie, I'm crying because I'm so proud of you." She explained. At that moment, Taekwoon felt his heart stop. His mother? Proud of him? Sudden memories zoomed through his mind.

  "Taekwoon, leave Hakyeon alone and stop bothering him!" Toddler Taekwoon's head moved up, his eyes focusing on his mother who stood bent angrily before him. Confused, he cocked his head to the side, an adorable grin crossing his features.

   "No Taekwoon, you can't get out of this one with smiles, I'm not your father. Go to your room, I'm dissapointed in your actions" she said, pointing up the stairs to where Taekwoon's room was. The toddler felt tears breaching his eyes, but kept them in before rushing up the stairs and slamming his door as he entered The room, launching himself onto his warm bed. His mother was ddissapointed.

   "Ya, Jung Taekwoon, come here this instant!" Scrambling to yank his headphones off, now teenager Taekwoon flew off his bed, sprinting down the stairs only to stop suddenly in front of his mother. Angrily, she held a slip of paper in front of the startled teen, who only stared at the quivering slip, his eyes trying to focus on it.

   "What is the meaning of this Taekwoon? How have you missed your math class so much? And look your grade is suffering from it" his mother said, angry tone present. Taekwoon let his head drop in shame at her words. Its not that he didnt understand, its just math was so not what he wanted to do in life that he felt he didnt need the class as much as say music.

   "I'm dissapointed in you Taekwoon, very dissapointed"

 Many more memories of Taekwoon's dissapointment floated around his head, and for the first time in many years, tears brimmed at the corner of his eyes. His mother though, took it as a sign of joy from being wedded this day, and hugged her son tightly.

  "Come on Taekwoon, wipe those tears away, your new husband wont want to see a crying man who he is marrying! Hurry, the ceremony will start soon!" And with that, she grabbed Taekwoon's arm, and pulled him from the room.

   Hongbin was playing with a certain unruly kitten, when suddenly his phone rang. Picking it up with slight curiosity, he found the call to be coming from an unknown number. Brushing it off, he ignore the call, turning his phone on silent before seeing what time it was. Smiling a bit, the teen removed his uniform before moving to the back lockers to grab his things and clock out. Grabbing his wallet and keys, Hongbin locked the rest of his things up for the next day and waved to his boss after clocking out.

   "Bye!! I'll see you tomorrow, thanks for the work!" He called, a bright smile on his face. Turning, he walked out the door and made a right, going back to his home to relax while plugging in earbuds and playing one of his favorite songs. It had just come out recently and was produced under one of the famous rappers named Ravi. He had recently banned together with an unknown party and released the ssong Beautiful Liar, and it had immediatly caught attention, everyone asking who the mysterious and amazing vocalist was. Ravi wouldn't disclose his partner's identity though, and even live he would just have the recording play, no live singer with him as he rapped.

   Humming and stepping in time with the beat, Hongbin turned down his street, which was empty as usual, his head bobbing a bit in time with the soft rap. Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands grab onto the top part of his arms, and yank him backwards. Letting out a surprised cry, Hongbin was momentarily motionless as he was thrown into a van, the doors slamming shut as he fell in. Before he could even move, the van sped away, taking him with it. Realizing what was going on, Hongbin opened his mouth to scream, only to be muffled when a sweet smelling rag was shoved over his mouth and nose, invading his senses. Inhaling, the teen began falling unconcious as the chemicals took over. What was going on?
