Hyukjae has been shy ever since they kissed and would blush furiously even when they were holding hands. "Did you guys made up?" Heechul asked as he eyed them up and down. The younger nodded shyly and went to sit next to his hyung , head still down. His friend eyed Donghae. "What did you do to him?"

Donghae scratched his nape. "N-Nothing!" The flustered Hyukjae answered and Heechul eyed them with suspicious eyes. "Hyukjae might cry if I dig into his secret so I'll stop right now but I have a good idea what happened." And the younger buried his face into the table , embarrassed , so was the older.

Hyukjae sighed. "Heechul would've killed Hae hyung if he found out you kissed me again." Donghae looked at their intertwined hands. "Really? I don't think so though. I've confessed to you and now we're officially dating now. What could go wrong?" The younger pouted as they swing their hands back and forth.

"Well.. I just have a bad feeling so I'm trying my best to avoid something bad. But if something happened to me , you would be there right Hae hyung?" He asked with a smile and the other nodded. "Of course!" "Then I'm glad." The older stopped walking and so did the younger. "Oh and one thing Hyukjae." "Yeah?"

"From today onwards , I'll call you Hyukkie and you'll call me Hae." "Deal!" And they linked their pinkies together. "Hae Hae , where is Mimi hyung?" The younger asked as they wash the dishes together. "I don't know either." "I'm worried." The younger said and pouted but the older couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. 

He also didn't know where Zhoumi went. Probably work but it usually wouldn't take this long. He thought about waiting for a week because it was the longest time he didn't return home. Even though Donghae's room was empty , they still slept in Hyukjae's room together because they felt most secure and comforting that way.

Donghae couldn't help but to notice the slight change in Hyukjae. He became more alerted and a light sleeper that even when he heard a creak , it will make his eyes shot open in drowsiness and the older had to be extra careful with his movements in order not to wake the younger up.      

His classes had shorten up to 8 am - 2 pm and the younger couldn't be more happier. "This is not fair!" Heechul protested. "How come you get to go home early while I'm trapped in this hell of a school?! ARRGHHH!" He said in rage and Minho had to spend 30 minutes in order to calm the other up. "Well , at least Hyukjae health is not in risk."

Heechul nodded sadly. "I guess so." He got up and patted his friend's head. "Take care and don't talk to strangers while waiting for Donghae to pick you up arasso?" The younger nodded obediently before getting a peck on the forehead. Heechul had to leave because his class was already starting.

Hyukjae was sipping on his strawberry milk when he saw Taemin from the corner of his eyes. The other gestured him to come closer and he stood up before walking to him. "What is it Tae?" Instead of answering , the other held his wrist and pulled him somewhere. "Hey , Tae , slow down. My milk is going to spill."

Taemin was being awfully quiet that it scared Hyukjae and he held a pole in order to stop the other from dragging him. "Where are we going Taemin? Please stop being quiet. You're scaring me." He said as he tried to pull his hand away from the other but the grip tightened and tears well up in his eyes because of the pain.

"Taemin , this is not you. What happened? Please tell me." He begged as tears flew down his cheeks from the pain and he saw a glint of guilt in the other's eyes. "I'm sorry." "Taemin-?" Before he could register anything , a handkerchief was shoved to his face and his sight blackened.

Donghae has been searching all over the university but still no Hyukjae but then he saw Heechul passing by and quickly ran to him. "Yah , do you know where Hyukjae is? I told him to wait at the cafeteria but didn't see him there." The other furrowed his eyebrows. "That's weird. He was sipping his strawberry milk at the cafeteria when I left him for my class." 

They exchanged confused eyes before realizing what kind of situation Hyukjae can be in and quickly went anywhere. "Donghae! I found his strawberry milk!" He yelled out before picking the carton up. "I'll check my apartment first. Who knows he walked there." Heechul nodded and followed. "I'll join too." 

Minho said and they both just nodded before going to Donghae's apartment. "Hyukjae? Hyukjae?" He called out as he open the said name's room. The door then busted open to reveal a panting Zhoumi. "Where's Hyukjae?!" Heechul shook his head sadly. "We lost him." "!" He cursed and punched the wall. 

"I was too late. Kwon already made his move." He sighed out in frustration. "Don't worry , I attached a tracker on his phone." Minho suddenly said and the other three widen their eyes in surprise. "Who are you actually , Minho?" Zhoumi asked as he narrowed his eyes towards the other and so was his gun. 

"Friend or foe?" "Comrades. I was sent by Siwon hyungnim to be his friend secretly since he was 15." Minho explained with a poker face and took out his phone to track Hyukjae. Seeing that Hyukjae's tracker hasn't been moving , they head out to where he was. "Does everyone have a gun?" Donghae asked in order they can protect themselves.

The two of them showed him their guns while Zhoumi had already settled it at his side. "Let's go." He ordered once they arrived there. "Everyone is wearing a bullet proof vest right?" They nodded their heads and followed where Minho was walking towards. " , bodyguards." Zhoumi cursed and they hid behind a wall.

"Okay so , Zhoumi and I will distract those guys while Minho and Donghae enter from the back okay?" Heechul voiced out his strategy and the other three nodded. "We'll be counting on you then." He nodded. "1 2 3 go!" The bodyguards were about to stop Minho and Donghae when Heechul tackled one of them down.

"Do you want to die or run away from here?" He asked as he lowered his head with a scary face , the gun pointing at the other guy's heart. The other shook his head in horrified. Heechul smirked. "I guess you were forced to do this job eh? Run away while you can." He said before letting go and seeing how the other ran as if a dog was released from a cage.

For the other bodyguards , Zhoumi had knocked them out and when everyone was unconscious , they entered the warehouse quietly. Hiding from corner to corner. "You're prettier up close blondie." They head Kwon's voice and Heechul gritted his teeth in anger. The blond was pushed roughly on his knees. 

His face was already soaked with tears but Kwon didn't show any mercy as he yanked the blond from his hair. "Should we head out now?" Zhoumi whispered and Heechul just nodded. They were about to attack when Donghae attacked one of the bodyguards and everyone went to tackle him but Minho had shoot them.

Kwon was scared and surprised. How did his men fall down that easily with just two person? But then he remembered Hyukjae and smirked before pulling the blond to him. "Move and he'll die!" He threatened as he shoved the gun at the side of Hyukjae's head. He saw Donghae's face remain emotionless.

"Don't you love this pretty blondie over here Aiden? You don't mind me touching him hmm?" He asked with a smirk as he Hyukjae's creamy neck. That was the last straw for Donghae. "You bastard!" He yelled out and Kwon had clicked his gun but was too late as Donghae had kicked him and in the next second he hit the hard wall and knocked out. 

"You think you won? Think again.." They heard a voice and Hyukjae screamed as this time a dagger was placed on his neck. "T-Taemin.." Heechul said in disbelieve. "You were working under him all this time? Since we were middle school..? How can you-" He took a step forward but Donghae pushed him to back down.

"Zhoumi , take care of Heechul. He's not in a right mind." Zhoumi nodded and brought the said man's away from there. "Don't you dare move." Taemin said dangerously as he pressed the dagger onto Hyukjae's creamy neck , making it red. "I'll really slaughter him if you do." Donghae gritted his teeth. He didn't know what to do now that Hyukjae was being a hostage again. 

"Taeminnie , please stop this." The blond said weakly. "This is not you. Remember , we used to play together in summer and sleep together in the cold winter? How you would complain about the heater not being warm enough because I always get sick and how we would enjoy the nature quietly in spring?  And how sad you were at autumn because of the leaves wilting?" 

Taemin eyes got teary though he pressed the dagger harder. "Taemin , I even considered you my brother." Family...? His heart ached at the word. He has none of it as they died in a brutal death because of their debts and he was took in by the Kwon because they see a rebel spirit in him. 

"I'm sorry Hyukjae."
