27 Beautiful

Desperate
"Hello?....
Oh! Appa!"
Yongguk answered
"Yongguk! Oh Thank Goodness! How are you and Himchan doing?"
His father asked.. Yongguk was in joy, finally being able to talk to his father again.. he hasn't for awhile since his dad was always busy working... but today, he must be free then.. Yes, Yongguk was so preoccupied that he didn't notice how Daehyun and Youngjae looked so uneasy.. Himchan may have taken note though..
"We're doing very good! Himchan made his best of the best pancakes again!"
"Oh really? Oh my boy, your husband really makes the best pancakes in the world, you are so lucky to have married him!"
Himchan blushed at the comment
as Yongguk laughed it off
"Anyway.. what seems to be the reason you're calling, Appa?"
Youngjae and Daehyun suddenly wanted to leave.. Himchan eyed the couple suspiciously, but deep inside, he knew he was worried about why they reacted that way
"Oh.. ugh.. Yongguk-ah.. you wouldn't happen to have seen two young teenagers walking around the forest by the name of Yoo Youngjae and ughh.. Jung Daehyun, now have you?"
and suddenly Yongguk's expression dropped as he looked at the nervous couple infront of him.. eyeing them, and quizzically thinking
"Ughh... why?"
He thought about asking for the reason before answering first instead
"Well.. we kinda want them here at the company.. you see Yoo Youngjae has stolen a very important part of the company from us.. and we would like to have it back now ASAP... apparently they have escaped into the forest..so.. have you seen them, son?"
Yongguk and Himchan were very shocked to hear this, and some part of them felt betrayed.. but another part was curious... They eyed the young couple again.. coming to a shock when seeing their faces.. they looked terrified utterly terrified... they looked so scared they could pass out
Youngjae felt hurt.. from the way Yongguk's father had said it, it sounded like he was a criminal.. he doesn't want to be looked at as one though.. if only they knew the reason why he 'stole' that very important 'part of the company'
"Yongguk? are you still there? I asked you a question..Have you seen them or not?" he sounded stern
"Ughhh... n-no.. Dad... I haven't seen them.." Hearing this, Youngjae and Daehyun calmed down a bit.. but still.. they were as troubled as ever..
"Alright, now-"
"call you later dad! I have to go"
"Wai-" Yongguk hanged up and put his phone away before diverting his attention to the terrified teens
"Explanation. Now.  And this  better be the truth.."he stated in a stern and serious voice that the couple could only gulp at
"H-Hyung.. we're sorry-"
"I didn't ask for an apology. I asked for an explanation" He once again stated in a stern voice..
Himchan could only watch in pity and shock
"Alright.. I'll tell you the truth.." Youngjae sighed
"I-I sort of kidnapped Daehyun.."
Hearing this, both Himchan and Yongguk widened their eyes in absolute shock
"You what?!"
Youngjae held his hands out in the air in reflex
"It's not what you think!.. they-they were hurting him.. I couldn't just sit down, watch and do nothing when he's crying in pain! I had to do something..."
Youngjae sadly looked down
"What did they do to him?" Himchan asked quietly
"You see... Daehyun has really powerful blood that can be use as fuel for their weapons back at the company... so the workers there take it from Daehyun daily, and while they're at it, they also push in some artificial blood into his body... It is extremely painful.. and they did it for 18 years straight.. I couldn't just watch him suffer.. so I snuck in his room late at night and got him out of there.. after that, I taught him a lot of things, heck, he didn't even know how to walk when I got to him.. I hope you understand... put yourselves in our shoes.. and I think you'd do the same thing.."
Yongguk and Himchan listened attentively, trying to cope what the younger was saying.. not exactly believing what they were hearing..
"Daehyun, is this true?" Yongguk asked as Daehyun nodded without a second more to hesitate..
Himchan and Yongguk watched confused as Youngjae stood up, along with Daehyun
"Anyway... thanks for everything hyungs.. I think we'll have to go now... I hope we weren't a burden.. and even if we weren't.. I still think it's best if we leave.. we don't want you to get dragged along with our mess..thanks for covering us up, Yongguk hyung..."
in panic, Himchan stood up as well
"W-Wait! You don't have to leave! we totally understand why you did it, Youngjae.. and if you're thinking I'd change how I look at you just because I now know the truth..then you're wrong.. the fact that you two are my favorite bestest dongsaengs isn't going to change... so.. please.. don't go.." Himchan pleaded..  he really didn't want them to go.. he hasn't been this kind of happy for awhile and he's not gonna let some sappy company ruin their beautiful hyung-dongsaeng relationship.. not now, not ever..
Youngjae eyed his hyungs with an apologetic face
"Sorry hyungs.. but with us here... your lives would be risked too.. and I don't want that..  I want you to live the peaceful life you deserve.. so.. we have to go.."
Himchan didn't retort, nor did he nod.. he just stared at Youngjae with disappointment
"You know.. we meant it when we said you guys were welcome to stay here as long as you want.. and our decision is not changing...you should stay here kiddohs.. where it's safe.. " Yongguk said in a tone of worry.. truthfully.. he felt a little disappointed- scratch that, he felt REALLY disappointed with the fact that his own father worked in a sadist company where a little boy was being ganged up upon and tortured.. but for the mean time, he just had to convince his dongsaengs to stay... he doesn't want them to go to the hands of just about anyone.. it's dangerous and they might get hurt.. however if they really really want to leave.. then who was Yongguk to go against their will?
Youngjae sighed as he diverted his vision to Daehyun
"Daehyun... go get our stuff from the room.. make sure you don't leave anything please.."
and so Daehyun left without saying a word as he dashed off to the said location.. this was practically a perfect request to let him escape the uncomfortable atmosphere
"Wait, Youngjae.. We're telling you.. you should stay here.. where it's safe! I don't want you to get caught and hurt when we're not there.."
Himchan again, pleaded in panic.. 
he panicked even more when seeing Youngjae preparing to take off the rings
"Yes, this place is safe.. but it wont be so long as we're here.. Himchan hyung.. I believe these are yours.." Youngjae brought the rings to Himchan's hands as his head was still facing down.. he did not want to face them in this kind of situation.. he was ashamed, really..
Himchan on the other hand, was quite quick to push the rings back to Youngjae's hands before quickly hiding his own hands behind his back.. just in case Youngjae had any thoughts on giving them back again
"Nuh.uh... Keep them.. They are yours. They are your engagement rings.. Those are not mine.. I gave it to Daehyun and Daehyun proposed with them to you.. so they are yours..keep them.."
Youngjae's lips curled upward a bit before he slowly slipped the rings back in his own fingers, shaking his head playfully at his hyung's stubbornness.. guess some things never change..
Daehyun came back with Youngjae's jacket, already having the cube and chip inside it's pockets
"It look's like this is it, hyungs.. Thanks for everything.."
Youngjae splutters meaningfully as he tried to bow a ninety degree
Youngjae and Daehyun made a move to get out before practically getting the air knocked out of their systems the moment Himchan jumped to give them a life taking hug
"My Babies! Make sure to come back here when you change your minds, okay?! No scratch that, come back anytime! Don't ever forget about your old hyungs that practically saved your cold butts, okay?! Ump. I'll miss you so much!!"
Youngjae grinned as Daehyun laughed from his hyung's affection disguised as a life threatening act of play
"Seriously, guys.. we wont hold you back.. but always make sure to remember that even if the world wont want you, you'll still have us old hyungs to welcome you into their house any second of day.." Yongguk insisted with a jolly town.. but of course.. don't let his tone fool you.. deep inside, he was upset that they had to go so early
"We know, hyungs.. and we wont ever forget" Daehyun assured
"You guys are life savers, how COULD we forget?" Youngjae added
and so after one tear jerking goodbye, they continued where they had left into the Pandora forest
a little to 30 minutes since they started walking, Daehyun faced Youngjae hesitantly
"Jae-ah.. are you sure we should leave.. I mean.. it would have nice if we permanently stayed with the hyungs.."
Youngjae looked back at Daehyun with puzzled eyes
"You already know we can't get anyone else involved.. it's too much of a risk.. and besides.. we've walked this far.."
Daehyun looked down in understanding.. of course he had known.. he was the one that insisted they should not get anyone else get tangled up in their mess in the first place...
Noticing his saddened expression, Youngjae s an arm comfortingly on Daehyun's shoulder
"Hey.. lighten up.. I'm sure we'll see them again.. of course, hyung did tell us to visit anytime.. so we'll come around, alright?"
Daehyun's eyes lit up almost instantly
"Really? we can visit them?"
Youngjae couldn't help but smile at the return of the latter's enthusiasm
"Sure.. why not?.."
After saying that, their eyes narrowed at an approaching black figure
from a distance they could see whatever it was, running towards their way
curiosity got the best of them as they stood still, waiting for the figure to approach them
it turns out to be a man.. with unusual styled up silver hair.. he wasn't old though.. conclusion states he probably dyed his hair silver.. they couldn't exactly make up a face since he was wearing sunglasses..
now who in the right mind would wear sunglasses in winter? well technically.. winter was starting to clear up now.. but that didn't necessarily mean that the sun was brightly showing.. still.. it's not something 'illegal'.. so why should they worry about it?
another observation was the mysterious man was wearing a large trench coat.. now there wasn't anything wrong with that.. it's just an observation..
the man stopped running when he reached at the spot in front of them
"Sup y'all?!"
Youngjae and Daehyun raised a brow.. had he ran all the way here to say that?
"Ughh-" Youngjae unconsciously let out.. he seriously didn't know what to say, nor how to react
"Sshhhh!!!" The man shunned Youngjae
The man then proceeded to grasp the air as he raised his hand dramatically before taking a ninety degrees bow
"The name's Namjoon! What are you two gentlemen wandering out in such a lovely day?.."
"We-"
"Shhh!! I didn't say you could answer that!" The man looked at them as he slightly moved his sunglasses to stare at them raw with his bare eyes
He was giving them the creeps
"O-Okay..ugh.. Namjoon?.. we should better go no-"
"SHHHHHHHHH!!!! ain't you have no manners, child?!" 
That's strange... they never even mentioned their age.. how can he be so sure he was older than them? for all he knew he could even be a couple of years younger... before they could react, the man opened his trench coat..
there eyes practically widened at all the things being kept there
there was a variety!
from guns to fuels, to potions and serums.. even cool accessories!
there were pocket knives and dangerous weapons, but aside from all that, there were also pretty toys like small teddies and animal dolls that are oddly all white and all had small bulletproof vests to go with them
"I introduce you to Rapmon's monster coat! now do you gentlemen have anything that might have gotten your eyes? these are all for sale.. "
Honestly everything seemed interesting...but... It was quite a hassle to open the cube and get money.. but then again.. Youngjae did happen to have the money Himchan gave him in his jacket's pocket.. his hyung insisted, even though he already told him he had a sufficient financial status.. more than sufficient even.. but that obnoxious silly rabbit didn't listen and shoved a wad of cash in Youngjae's pocket, saying
' You never know when it might come in handy, so shut up and take it!' 
He even said it was meant to be some sort of goodbye-good luck present.. well Youngjae honestly had no idea how to fight back his hyung's persistency anyway.. and besides.. it really did come in handy...
He grabbed a simple small lazer gun.. sure he already has one.. but it's nice to have a pocket sized one to use anytime.. this way, he can access a weapon without getting through the hassle of opening the cube..
He looked over to Daehyun, who currently had his eyes glued to the small white animal plushie with a bullet proof vest... this one oddly looked like a monkey despite it's weird features..
scooping the plushie in his hands, Youngjae held it out to Daehyun
"Do you want it?" he asked curiously
and almost instantly, Daehyun nodded.. he had never obtained a toy before so this was quiet.. a new experience? for him..
but a thought soon came and he vigorously shook his head, indicating, he did not want to get it.. or rather.. he did not need Youngjae to buy it
"huh? why? just now you were so eager that you nodded almost immediately.. why the sudden change of mind?"
Daehyun chewed his inner cheek for awhile before his lips
"You don't need to spend money on a toy for me... it's too troublesome.."
Youngjae was confused.. how is buying a toy for his potential huband result to being troublesome?
was buying a toy for his fiance a wrong thing? oddly enough, it sounded weird but, that doesn't matter.. as long as Daehyun's happiness was in tact, then it shouldn't matter..
grabbing the plushie, Youngjae held out the gun and the white monkey to Namjoon's view
"How much for these items?"
Daehyun stared in awe.. Youngjae just ignored what he said, didn't he? well.. maybe Youngjae wanted the plushie for himself.. yes.. that must be it..
The plushie was fairly cute though.. so that must be the case!
Youngjae grinned after giving Namjoon the correct amount for the items.. well it was a reasonable price..
"Thank you for buying at Rapmon's monster coat! It's been a pleasure to be at your service! Farewell, gentlemen.." And just like that, he ran off again..
well.. that was weird..
Youngjae pushed the plushie into Daehyun's hands
"Here.. it's yours.."
Hearing this, Daehyun widened his eyes.. so Youngjae had not bought it for himself?!
"B-But-"
"Just take it.. it can serve as my wedding gift for you.."
Daehyun stared at the plushie for awhile before smiling softly..
but wait?! did that mean he was suppose to have a wedding gift for Youngjae too?! he has not the slightest of idea what he can possibly get for Youngjae! I mean, he needed to give something in return too, right?
well there is one thing that was not above his capability..
slowly, he leaned closer to Youngjae, before cupping Youngjae's face and connecting their lips
after a long while, he gently pulled away, and watched as Youngjae's  cheeks turned red..
He couldn't help but give another kiss on the tip of the younger's nose.. he was just too adorable for his own sake..
"W-What was that for?" Youngjae's breath hitched... his own heartbeat was the only thing filling out his ears..
"I guess.. that was my wedding gift for you.. was it good?"
why would Daehyun ask if it was good?! now Youngjae's head was spinning! how can he be okay after that? more importantly.. it was not good.. heck it was a thousand times better than good!
at the loss of words, Youngjae gave a weak nod without uttering a single word, for he knew.. his voice would crack ..
Daehyun wrapped his arms on Youngjae's slim waist, pulling him closer and keeping him warm
then he held out the plushie..
"What should you name him, Daehyun?"
Daehyun thought for a moment
"Well... I always liked the name 'Taehyung'..."
"So you're gunna name him Taehyung?"
"No, I'm gunna name him Tae-Tae.. it sounds good, right?"
Youngjae hummed in approvement
"But... why not just name him Taehyung?"
"Well.. if we ever have kids, that's where the name 'Taehyung' will go to.."
"Hey.. don't make it an 'if we ever have kids' make it into a
' When we have kids '... it's much better..
and yeah.. Taehyung's a good name.."
They held hands as they started walking deeper into the forest again..
"How about we name the eldest, Taehyung... and the youngest, 'Jaehyun'... it sounds nice.. and it has 'Youngjae and Daehyun' in it.." Youngjae suggested with a chuckle
Daehyun nodded in agreement.. "Jaehyun" was a rather very smart and cute name.. not only does it have their name's combination, but it sounded very good too! so it was a very well thought combo!
it was nice to think of their children ahead of time..
but for the mean time, he should pay close attention to Youngjae and Tae-Tae.. he should learn to take care of them first before moving on to a real family.. after their official marriage of course..
walking further into the forest, Youngjae couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.. the hair behind his neck started standing up and he was nervously sweating.. what was happening?.. it was definitely wrong..
Suddenly the ground began to shook a little.. it wasn't much but it was noticable...
"Youngjae, did you feel that?"
Daehyun asked as Youngjae's grip on his arm tightened
"Yeh.. it was hard to miss.."
the moment they look forth to what was ahead of them, their throats immediately went dry.. their eyes suddenly couldn't blink anymore.. and they didn't even realise they were holding their breaths
Daehyun shakily looked over to Youngjae who was just trembling as fast as he was
"Y-Youngjae?.. I-I'm scared again.. "
Youngjae swallowed as a droplet of sweat made it's way to the side of his forehead.. he just couldn't believe this was happening..nor did he ever want it too..
he gripped Daehyun's arm tighter and tighter..
"I-I am too.."
The fact that Daehyun had never seen one up close in person only made him even more scared
Slowly the, fierce looking tokiverox made it's way closer to them.. it was bigger than usual.. more viscous than any other beast.. it's dirty fangs were very visible despite the closed mouth..it's ears sharp.. one eye was gone, the other was glowing bright red.. the gear it was wearing was beyond human capability.. it was practically anyone's worst nightmare
what was happening?! why weren't they moving?!
they should be running!!
But.. they weren't.. they were frozen in place
a millisecond ticked, and Daehyun found himself in front of Youngjae in a protective stance
"Y-Youngjae get back.. "
This was ridiculous! Youngjae should be the one protecting them! he should be the one to protect Daehyun! Daehyun was his main priority!
and yet? what was he doing?! was he cowering?!..
Yes, he might just be! just like how he had been when a tokiverox killed his parents... useless
not for long! not this time!
in a hurry, Youngjae went in front of Daehyun before preparing the lazer gun he had bought earlier
he grabbed Daehyun's hand and started running the other direction as much as he could
Daehyun still had the right mind to securely hide Tae-Tae in his pocket so he wouldn't fall off
Youngjae's blood went up at the sight of the beast chasing them
"c'mon Daehyun! Don't hold back! " he practically yelled as they jumped over a log before they scurried all over the place, desperately trying to lose track of the beast
they panted and pushed forward, but hell.. that tokiverox was just so stubborn.. it's loud roar was enough to destroy their eardrums...nonetheless, they continued running and running no matter what
unfortunately, they had reached  a dead end.. more like a cliff end really.. one step more and they'd fall a possible hundred meters to the ground
Youngjae pulled out the lazer gun from before.. he knew it was impossible, but it was worth a try..
he shakily held it out and aimed at the approaching beast and pulled the trigger, hoping with all his heart that it might at least make the monster faint
all his expectations were turned into dust the moment the beam had touched the monster
THIS WAS NO DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON!! THIS WAS A KID'S TOY!!
HE HAD BEEN ROBBED!!!,
throwing the toy gun away
Youngjae then prepared for the worst..he held Daehyun's arm the tightest he could
he had failed..
he had failed Daehyun.. he had failed his parents.. he had failed his hyungs.. and most of all.. he had failed himself..
no one could have practically predicted this to happen.. but still...this could have been prevented, right? surely there was a way..
well.. whatever.. it was too late anyway..
"I-I Love you Daehyun..."
He stuttered as a tear crawled on his cheek
Daehyun slowly removed his arm from Youngjae's hand as he moved his own hand and gently pulled Youngjae's head to his lips
as he kissed it ever so tenderly
"I Love you too, Youngjae.."
and at that moment, they both closed their eyes, preparing for the pain
that never came
as soon as they heard a lazer shot, they immediately opened their eyes.. surprised written all over their faces as the tokiverox from before practically disintegrated into a pile of dust
looking over to the shooter, their eyes stopped at a duo just about in front them
"Hello, babies.. you havin trouble?" a tanned man smirked and asked in a teasing tone
WHAT KIND OF MAN MAKES FUN OF THEM WHEN THEY WERE JUST ABOUT TO DIE SECONDS AGO?!!
Daehyun and Youngjae immediately went away from the cliff's edge as they tried with every will power they had, not to break down
THEY HAD ALMOST LOST THEIR LIVES FOR PETE'S SAKE!
"Alright! So I assume, you're Jung Daehyun?" The tanned man pointed at Daehyun
"Kid, the company wants you back, you're gonna have to come with us" as soon as the tanned man layed a finger on Daehyun, Youngjae immediately snapped and punched the man's hand away
"Look, you saved us and all, but there is no way, I'm letting you take Daehyun back at that one hell of a company again! "
The tanned man sighed and looked over who Youngjae assumed was  his partner
"Soo, make sure fluffy here learns his lesson for treating me like bull crap" he effortlessly said
Youngjae didn't expect a sharp stinging pain on his cheek .. he looked over to the pale short doe eyed man that had hit him before touching a side of his face
blood..
his lip was bleeding..
at the sight of this, Daehyun's vission suddenly turned into nothing but flames, how dare they hurt his Youngjae?!
He charged his fist into the tanned man's face
"Touch him again, and I don't know what you'll get from me!!" He angrily roared as he vigurously pulled Youngjae's wrist and dashed the hell out of there
The tanned man hissed in pain before grabbing his partner and going after the distressed couple
of course they caught up.. they wore their levitating boots
grabbing Youngjae by his shirt, the doe eyed man put an arm around Youngjae's neck, nearly suffocating him
Daehyun was about to burst again, when he abruptly halted his actions as soon as he saw the short pale man holding out a lazer gun and aiming it on Youngjae's head
"You should have done what kai told you to do.. I wouldn't question him if I were you"
The pale man said in a monotoned high-ish voice, looking at Daehyun.. he didn't even blinked.. his wide eyes were practically just glued on his face
"Oh, Soo, Don't flatter me.. "
The Kai guy smirked again
Daehyun gritted his teeth
"Let my fiance go!!"
He marched
The tanned man, now known as Kai, held his hand out in the air
before chuckling
"Fiance? That's cute. So cute, it's gross.. now come with us or else fluffy get's it"
Kai warned
"What 'it'?" Daehyun tried to compose himself
"Oh Soo~ are you ready to fire and blow his head off?"
hearing this, Daehyun's eyes widened
"N-No!! Don't do it! I'll give up my heart if I have to!! Just Don't shoot!!"
Daehyun pleaded
Youngjae trembled.. he was scared of dying, yes.. but he was even more terrified if Daehyun decided to comply with their request 
"D-Daehyun! What are you saying! Run! Don't worry about me!! Just run!" Youngjae started, but he soon stopped when feeling another sharp sting at the same spot as before..
he sent a glare to the doe eyed man before focusing his attention back to Daehyun
"What are you waiting for?!"
Daehyun stared at Youngjae in disbelief
was he serious? did he actually think he'd just let them kill him?!
"Tick Tock Tick Tock, Daehyun~ Time's running out~"
"I-I... I'll go with you.." Daehyun answered in defeat
Youngjae couldn't believe his ears.. was he crazy?!
"Daehyun! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?! GET OUT OF HERE! YOU HAVE TO RU-"
"AND WHAT?!
I HAVE TO RUN AND WHAT?!
LET YOU DIE?!"
Youngjae swallowed his words.. Daehyun had never once raised his voice to that level.. no.. not even near to that level
"Don't be stupid, Youngjae.. if you think that I'll be happy just because I'm free, then you are wrong..For once, You are dead wrong.. Being free means nothing to me if you're dead....Freedom is not my happiness,Youngjae.... You are..." at the end of words, fat tears had already claimed most of the area of his cheeks
same goes for Youngjae..
"Gee guys, this is touching and all, but you're wasting time.. Daehyun give me just one answer.. just one tincy wincy answer, not a whole speech.. ARE YOU COMING WITH US OR NOT?" Kai questioned impatiently.. his patience was nearing to it's limit
"Yes." Daehyun looked at Youngjae with tearful eyes
It's unbelievable how that one single word could burn Youngjae's ears...
Kai smirked before pulling out a small ball from his metal belt bag and squized it, before throwing it on the ground
soon enough, it turned into a mini ship, just like how the cube would turn into a large room
Kai handcuffed Daehyun before leading him on into the ship and getting on himself
"Kyungsoo, let fluffy go and hop in.. Da- I mean, boss will be so proud to see
we found the little devil.."
Kyungsoo nodded and kicked Youngjae to the ground, just to make sure he didn't have time to move when kyungsoo was getting on the ship
Daehyun gritted his teeth
"You said you wouldn't hurt him if I agreed to go!" Daehyun glared at kyungsoo
"We said nothing about not hurting him, we only said we wouldn't shoot him.." kyungsoo shrugged his shoulders as Daehyun sent him flying daggers
the ship started to lift up high, Daehyun took one last look at the currently crying Youngjae.. oh how he wanted to go down there and hug and comfort him.. but a deal was a deal..
"I Love you Youngjae!! never forget that!!" He screamed to the top of his lungs
indeed that was the last thing Youngjae heard before the ship practically vanished
desperately wiping his tears that kept falling no matter what, he tried to get up.. but the more he tried the more his head spinned.. it's as if Daehyun took all his strength with him..
then again.. maybe Daehyun was his strength afterall..
if that's the case, then he's determined to get his strength back no matter what.
Standing up, he started running
but where to exactly? he was in the middle of the forest.. with no goal whatsoever anymore.. so where should he go now?
a thought came up..
of course.. what other choice does he have?..
he was going to knock on Himchan's door no matter what.
He gathered all his energy left in him before finally running back to where he and Daehyun previously traveled..
it was weird considering they never went back to where they had already passed.. they only headed forward.. this was new to him..
________________________________________
a few hours later, Youngjae arrived to the peak where a certain house came to view.. it saddened him somehow that they still didn't remove the decorations from Daehyun and his' wedding... even if it was only just a few hours.. he was already missing him like crazy.. he still hadn't even stopped crying.. he must've looked like a mess now..
he gently knocked on the door
"hyung.." he chocked quietly
"Himchan hyung.." He knocked louder
"Himchan hyung!!" he finally yelled
"Youngjae!! Daehyun!!" he heard Himchan yell from inside.. he felt a sting in his chest the moment Himchan mentioned Daehyun
the voice grew louder so he must have been approaching
"You're back already! I hadn't expected you to be back so quick but, why am I even complai-"
Himchan stopped instantly after he opened the door.. widening his eyes at Youngjae's state, Himchan never gave a second to hesitate as he gave Youngjae the warmest hug he could offer
"Sweety, why are you crying?! Where's Daehyun? why are you hurt?!?" Himchan blurted as he pulled Youngjae closer
Youngjae leaned deeper into Himchan's chest where he let it all out
"H-Hyung they t-took him hyung.. they took Daehyun! I-I couldn't do anythin-"
Himchan shushed Youngjae as he rubbed his back to try and calm him down
"Who took Daehyun, who are they?" he asked in a stern motherly tone
"People from the company.."
Himchan sighed and lulled Youngjae before bringing him inside the house
When Youngjae looked around, he was a bit shocked to see Yongguk putting in clothes and all the other valuable items into a rather large metal box.. he assumed that was a packing gadget too.. he greeted Yongguk  as Yongguk gladly hugged him before getting back to packing
"Hyung.. why are you packing?.. are you moving somewhere?"
Himchan lightly shooked his head
"Yongguk's father called again.. he said we had to evacuate to the next town ahead of us.. where ships will be there.."
"Huh? why? what's going on?"
"They said it's a Tokiverox invasion and we have to try and win earth back .. everybody, from towns to neighbourhoods, to cities will be heading to the ships.. they said that everybody from the city had already evacuated to the ships only the towns and forest people are left.. the city's pretty much abandoned now..."
Youngjae widened his eyes
"That means Daehyun wont be in the City! He'll be in one of the ships at the town where you're headed! Hyung we have to go there quickly!"
Himchan chuckled
"That's already in progress, dongsaeng.. speaking of which, Yongguk's done packing.. we should go now.."
true to his words, they got out of the house as they prepared for a long journey
"Youngjae.. I forgot to tell you.. you left your camera here.. I didn't bother to try going after you since I knew you'd come back anyway.."
Himchan pushed the camera into Youngjae's hands
how careless can he get?! he practically left his camera! if he hadn't came back then he wouldn't have gotten it back! It was most especially precious since it held a lot of memories
Youngjae turned to see Himchan sigh
"What's wrong hyung?"
"nothing.. It's just.. I'm gonna miss this place.. I have a lot of memories here.. like.. A WHOLE LOT"
Youngjae smiled sadly before bringing the camera up to his eyes and snapping a picture of the house. He took another one, this time, he included the wedding decorations.. albeit they already had a lot of pictures from the wedding itself, he insisted..
"It's okay hyung.. I'm sure you'll never foget this house.."
"Is it because it holds such large amount of sentimental value and various precious fragile memories?" Himchan lifted his head up hopefully
"..Yeah.. that, and because I took a picture of it.." This did earn Youngjae a smack on his forehead
"And I was thinking sentimental.." Himchan pouted before he crossed his arms..
"Alright guys, looks like we're good to go!" Yongguk exclaimed as he carried a big flashlight and a basket
'What are those for hyung?"
"The flashlight is for when night time arrives, as for the basket.. it's just in case we get hungry.."
Youngjae chuckled.. it was good to be together with his hyungs once more.. but he knew that a dark spot was marked on his heart the moment Daehyun wasn't by his side anymore..

The Jung company and all of it's things and staff were moved into Ship A, for the city was no longer available..
Junmyeon was very proud to see that his 'Best men' were able to get Daehyun back..
The moment Jung Daehyun stepped into the ship, everyone expected the event to be very jolly.. but it was the exact opposite... People were sad, Hoseok was especially crying, a part of him was crying in joy that his son had finally returned.. but a part of him cried and dwelled in sadness.. why?
because Daehyun was crying, himself..
they hadn't even started the damn process for the blood taking, and the boy was already in tears..
when they did start the process though, Daehyun had been at his same state... he didn't cry more, he didn't cry less.. it was unusual really.. usually his cries would reach up to a hundred times more painful to hear.. so what had change?
Junmyeon snapped up after realising something.. he had gotten to Hoseok before he called out to his 'Best men' With Hoseok beside him
"Kai, Kyungsoo.. where is Yoo Youngjae?"
The two only raised an eyebrow
"Who's Yoo Youngjae?"
Hoseok and Junmyeon furrowed their eyebrows
"He's the boy that is suppose to be with Jung Daehyun!" Junmyeon yelled
Kai tilted his head to the side in confusion before finally grinning like a fool
"Oh! You mean fluffy! "
Hoseok narrowed his eyes
"Fluffy?"
"Yeah! Fluffy! He's the boy with black mushroom hair, Doe eyes, a cute button nose, pouty lips and puffy cheeks, right?"
recalling the illustration, Hoseok tried to connect it with Kai's description
it seemed pretty accurate
"Yeah, he's the guy.." Hoseok nodded
"Well we slapped his cheeks twice, kicked him and almost shot him!"
Hoseok and Junmyeon widened their eyes
"YOU WHAT?!" They said at the exact same time
"You mean he isn't in the ship??!!"
"Well did you want him to be?" Kyungsoo asked
"Of course! I wanted to thank him!! Where is he now?!" Hoseok practically yelled as Junmyeon rubbed his temple
Kai and Kyungsoo swallowed their own spits
"We... kinda left him injured and crying in the forest.."
Hoseok nearly fainted
Junmyeon had to help compose his friend
"It doesn't matter.. I'm sure he'll get on a ship.. we sent a lot in the forest and towns.. But..for the meanwhile.. "
Junmyeon grabbed Kai and Kyungsoo by their ears
"YOU ABSOLUTE NINCOMPOOPS! YOU JUST LEFT BEHIND AN INNOCENT BOY INJURED AND CRYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN PANDORA FOREST! I SWEAR I PAY YOU MORE THAN THE AMOUNTS YOU DESERVE!"
Kai and Kyungsoo winced in pain
Junmyeon averted his eyes to the crying boy inside the glass cage.. he truly did feel sad for that boy..
letting go of the now red ears of the pair, Junmyeon put his hands on his sides as he sighed
"No wonder Daehyun was crying even before they started the process.. You two idiots practically separated him from his potential lover.."
Junmyeon sighed again as Hoseok's eyes fell to the ground
"Well Daehyun did say Fluffy was his fiance.."
This of course earned Kai another twist on the ear
"Fiance?!!"
suddenly Hoseok really felt like fainting
"So you did not just separate him from his potential lover! You separated him with his ing fiance!! UNBELIEVABLE. Kim Jongin! Do Kyungsoo! go to your room this instant! You are both grounded for the rest of the day!"
"But Dad!!!" The two said in unison
"No buts!"
"Bu-"
"NO. BUTS."
Jongin gritted his teeth
"You never told us to also capture Yoo Youngjae! All you ever asked was to go get Jung Daehyun! You never learn to appreciate our efforts in trying so hard to make you proud of your own damn sons!! " Kai yelled as he grabbed Kyungsoo's arm and stomped his way to their room
Junmyeon sighed again as he pinched his nose bridge
"You didn't tell them?" Hoseok asked, a bit taken aback from what he's heard
"I was assuming they were smart enough to know it by now... after all the news about Yoo Youngjae being a really nice guy spreaded like wild fire.. I was assuming they already knew what to do on their own.. that I could trust that they'd do this task correctly without me trying to boss them around..." Junmyeon looked down
"I hadn't mean to be a bad father..." he sighed for what felt like the umpteenth time
Hoseok looked over to Daehyun, still crying in pain and longing...
Looks like Junmyeon wasn't the only bad father around here..
"By the way.. Soo is your son? I always thought he was just Jonging's bestfriend or something.. "
"Yeah... I adopted Soo when he was six... poor boy got left alone in the streets, begging for food in a cold winter day... "
Hoseok suddenly felt bad for Junmyeon.. he even felt bad for bad mouthing him with Yoongi a few weeks or months ago.. but.. people really do change..
"Hey Junmyeon..we should form a club.. worst fathers club.." They both chuckled.. but deep inside.. they knew it bugged them
all too much..
_________________________________________
Night time shortly came, and Yongguk began to turn on the flash light so he could guide his Husband and their dongsaeng..
"Youngjae?.."
"Neh hyung?"
"You're tired from walking right?"
"Yeah.. but it's alright.."
"C'mon.. get on hyung's back.." Himchan chuckled at Youngjae's shocked yet surprisingly cute reaction
"What?.. I can't do that to you.. you're tired as well..."
"Yeah.. but you are even more tired, since you had to run from wherever you came from, back to the house.."
Youngjae thought a bit before gently nodding and hesitantly getting on Himchan's back
a few moments passed with absolute silence..
Himchan pratically thought Youngjae was asleep before he heard him utter somthing..
"Hyung... Why don't you continue that story of how a beautiful man and a scary man fell in love?.."
"Didn't you not like that story?"
"Nah.. I was just being a jerk that time.. Daehyun however, really wanted to hear the rest of it.. can you tell it to me, so I may be able to tell him when I see him again?.. he really wanted to hear it.. but , like the sassy little b*tch I am, ruined it.."
Himchan frowned
"Youngjae.. don't say things that are not true about yourself... you know Daehyun wouldn't like that.."
Youngjae sighed..
"Okay I'll stop.. but continue the story please.."
"Oh Okay.. now.. where were we.." Himchan hazily tried to remember where he had left off.. before taking a deep breath
"As I was saying,
The scary man dragged the beautiful man into the house.. but it's not what you think..
The scary man actually gently scooped him up and placed him on the couch to rest.. The beautiful man hadn't expected it at all, but the scary man even wrapped a warm towel around his ankle along with some healing herbs..
'I Hope it doesn't hurt too much.. I'm sorry I scared you..' apologized the scary man.. The beautiful man couldn't hold back a smile, saying that he was alright and that he didn't needed to apologize...
They shared a bit of their stories to each other while the scary man made warm cups of coffees for both of them.. They eventually became good friends.. and The Beautiful man was welcome to stay in the house as long as he wanted..after a week's time, The Beautiful man felt as if he was mooching off of the scary man's kindness and thought about leaving.. but the scary man insisted he'd stay.. just at least until his ankle will be fully healed.. One faithful night, the scary man asked if he could ask the Beautiful man a question. The Beautiful man thought it was stupid since he was already asking a question, but of course he never said that.. instead he happily nodded  as he eagerly waited for the question to be asked
' Can you tell me how to be beautiful like you?'
asked the scary man
'Why?'
asked the Beautiful man in return as he tilted his head to the side in confusion
'So people can come near me without being scared...'
The Beautiful man only softened his gaze
'You don't need to know how..'
'Why so?'
'Because you already are beautiful..' 
Shocked, The scary man raised a brow and laughed it off
'You are giving me false hope..'
'No.. it's true.. beauty doesn't lay upon  one's physical appearance.. beauty is portrayed only when that person's heart is as good as gold.. you my friend, are one very beautiful man..'
Touched by his words, The scary man instantly felt a pound in his chest and no moment later... he knew he had found the one.. it was a very mutual feeling, the two had.. Eventually, they got married.. and now they're named the most beautiful couple ever...
You see... it takes little to no time to realize that the Beautiful man wasn't called beautiful because of his face.. He was called beautiful because he had a golden heart, that made others realise that one cannot posses beauty if you're heart is as rotten as mold.. He made others realise.. what the true meaning of beauty really was.. and the answer was only one thought away..."
Youngjae snuggled his head on Himchan's shoulder
"That was.... beautiful, hyung... I wish Daehyun was here to hear it now.. if only I hadn't been an ugly jerk and didn't cut you off..." Youngjae felt tears threatening to fall again
"I'm just.. I'm so sorry hyung.. I was such an idiot.. I'm so sorr-"
"Youngjae quit it.. what's done is done.. you don't need to apologize at all.." Himchan stared at the bright night sky as the wind blew a lullaby
and swung the tree's leaves softly.. he was quietly thinking of a way to cheer Youngjae up
"Youngjae? are you still awake little buddy?"
"Yes.. I am hyung.. why?"
"Do you wanna know a secret?"
"Yeah sure..."
"The story of how the Beautiful man and the Scary man fell in love.. is actually based on a true story.."
"Really hyung? and how's that?"
Youngjae asked weakly.. he was tired and sleepy but he at least needed to try and cope with what Himchan was trying to tell him
"It is actually the story of how Yongguk and I met.."
Himchan shyly implied as his gaze landed on Yongguk's figure, guiding them on a distance
"Woah.. really?" Youngjae had hid mouth agaped as he listened to what Himchan was implying
"Yes... I just changed a few things up to make it seem more like a real fairy tale-ish kind of story.."
"I see... so what was not true? "
"The part where it stated my name's 'The Beautiful man' and Yongguk's 'The Scary man'...
Of course Yongguk never asked how to be beautiful like me.. I'm not even sure if I'm even beautiful myself.. sure I'm good looking.. but I don't know about Beautiful at all.."
Youngjae sighed
"Hyung.. You are beautiful.. inside and out.."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes.. now what were the parts that were true?"
"Oh.. The part where I stated I liked to travel and that I found a house in the forest... it was actually the house we were staying in.. also, the part where I entered without knocking, and got scared by Yongguk then sprained my ankle was also true.. Yongguk really had took me in and wrapped a warm towel with herbs around my ankle.. and he really did insisted I stay as long as I wanted..he's a really nice guy, now, isn't he?"
Youngjae nodded in agreement.. Yongguk was no doubt a nice guy...
"I see... Thanks for sharing, hyung.."
"It's nothing.. now you should rest.. I bet you're tired.."
"Are you sure? You'd let me sleep while carrying me like this? wont you get tired?"
"I'll have to make up to all the wrong things I did to you, somehow, right? I'm really sorry for the many times I've hurt you emotionally and physically, Youngjae-ah.."
Youngjae furrowed his eyebrows..
"Hyung... stop apologizing already.. I've already told you so many times.. You are forgiven.."
"Alright, Alright.. I'll stop.. okay.. now.. you should rest.."
"Thanks, Himchan hyung.."
"You're welcome.."
"No, really... Thank you.. Thank you for everything.."
Himchan smiled meaningfully
"Anything for my dongsaeng.."
And with that, Youngjae finally had the assurance to sleep.. It was nice to have someone with him at a time like this.. It really was..
