CHAINS OF PAIN (Hyunho/Minchan/Hyunlix/Seungjin/ChanIn/Minsung/Chanlix/Jongho/2min/Changlix/Changho)
FRIEND'S BROTHER
He screamed, but before he can call properly Seungmin placed a hand on his mouth. The doors ding closing again
Minho red teary eyes were fixed on Hyunjin's figure that disappeared behind the closed door. His eyes shifted back to the devil
Kim Seungmin
I swear I love your audacity
Seungmin whispered leaning close to him. Minho placed both his hands on Seungmin's chest and pushed him away. He wasn't drugged now, he has enough force to protest
As Seungmin took a step back, elevator ding the next floor. Minho tried to run past him but Seungmin grabbed his arm and pushed him back in
Minho struck with the elevator wall and fell down. Seungmin raised a hand between the elevator door to stop it from closing
Kim Seungmin
Where do you think you're going baby
Seungmin said tilting his hand and took a step towards him. Minho crawled back in terror, tears falling down his face
Suddenly a voice raising from behind made both Seungmin and Minho pause. Minho saw Hyunjin running towards the elevator
Minho screamed getting up and running past Seungmin. Seungmin couldn't catch him again. Minho ran to Hyunjin and hugged him tightly
Hwang Hyunjin
Are you Okay?
Hyunjin patted his back. Manager and staff were behind him. Seungmin rolled his eyes tucking his hands in his pockets and walked out of elevator
Hwang Hyunjin
What did you do to him?
Hyunjin glared at Seungmin
Seungmin casually shrugged his shoulders
Seungmin gestured to Minho. Minho looked at Seungmin who raised his eyebrows
Kim Seungmin
Did I do SOMETHING to you?
His expressions were neutral, but his words were sharp, making Minho feel a stinging sensation within
Hwang Hyunjin
Min, tell me what happened? Did he do something to you?
Lee Min Ho
N-No. I ... I just ... wasn't feeling ... well. Elevator was ... Suffocating
Minho said holding his temples. He can feel Seungmin burning stare fixed on him
Hwang Hyunjin
Come with me
Hyunjin held his arm walking past the staff to Minho's room. Seungmin gestured the staff with a hand and walked behind Hyunjin and Minho. Walking down the stairs, Hyunjin led him to his car
Lee Min Ho
I ... I want to go back to ... My room
Minho said pulling his arm a little
Hwang Hyunjin
Why are you doing this Min. You disappeared suddenly, and now you're protesting to stay with me
Hyunjin said a little hurt
Hwang Hyunjin
Are you angry because Chan suggested staying apart
Lee Min Ho
It's ... N-nothing like that
Minho pulled his arm again but Hyunjin didn't let go
Hwang Hyunjin
Then tell me what it was? Where were you for past three days? Why didn't you pick my call?
Hyunjin asked pulling him a little close. Minho wanted to tell him. Every single thing that happened to him
Lee Min Ho
I ... I was in the ... ho-hospital
He stammered when his eyes drifted behind Hyunjin's shoulder. Terror in his eyes started to rose up again
Hwang Hyunjin
W-Why were you in the hospital. Are you ... Are you Okay?
Hyunjin grabbed his wrist who immediately pulled his hand
Lee Min Ho
I ... I'm ... I'm Okay
He said taking a step back. Hyunjin was standing shocked. What changed Minho so suddenly that he wasn't even letting Hyunjin touch him
Kim Seungmin
What's going on. Is yours friend's brother Okay?
Seungmin asked specifically standing close to Minho
Kim Seungmin
Need any help?
Tucking his hands in jacket, he leaned to Minho making him shiver
Hwang Hyunjin
I'll take him to Chan's palace Hyunjin. You can either stay with I.N or go back to our place
Hyunjin said decisively and gestured Minho to get in car
Lee Min Ho
I ... I don't want to I just –
Hwang Hyunjin
Enough with the protests Min. You're coming with me
Hyunjin grabbed his arm not so strong to hurt him but strong enough to keep control and took him towards the car. Minho's senses were too dull near Seungmin to make excuses any more
Way back to Chan's palace was one of a hell. Minho was sitting with his arms wrapped around his legs, his knees touched his chest. He looked like a damn ball. His eyes were fixed on the window and the cloudy weather outside
Hyunjin sneaked a peek to him every passing seconds. He couldn't stand the thought of Minho not talking to him. Was he angry because Chan suggested keeping them apart?
Hyunjin knew how worried he was when the management told him Minho didn't come back the past days. He made up a convincing story of Minho being his friend's brother including Chan because he was the one responsible for pushing Minho away
Hyunjin called him who was sitting like a doll, no moments at all. Hyunjin's voice snapped him to reality
Hyunjin saw his eyes blank from any emotion. Just pure emptiness
He patted Minho's shoulder getting out and held the door for him. Minho stepped out looking at the mansion
Hyunjin helped him in when Chan walked out to receive them, but he wasn't alone. Something stirred inside Minho's eyes as he immediately hid behind Hyunjin clenching his shirt, his eyes peeking from Hyunjin's shoulder to, Jeong-in
Hwang Hyunjin
What happened Min?
Hyunjin asked softly noticing his reluctance. Jeong-in smirked and tilted his head
Yang Jeong-in
Your friend's brother right
He asked boring his eyes on Minho
Yang Jeong-in
Where was he? Did he tell you?
Hyunjin said pulling Minho beside him wrapping an arm around him
Yang Jeong-in
I'll take my leave now. Tho I really want to stay. You know maybe he needs my company to. THE MORE, THE MERRIER. Right Minho?
Jeong-in walked to him who stepped back sticking to Hyunjin
Hyunjin was getting anxious for his strange behavior. Chan waved to Jeong-in who waved to Minho specifically walking away to his car
Lee Min Ho
I ... I don't want to eat anything. I want to go back to my place. I ... I don't want to. Just let ... Let me ... G-go
Hyunjin and Chan looked at each other
Hwang Hyunjin
Minho. Be honest what happened to you?
Hyunjin cupped his face asking softly
Hwang Hyunjin
How did you end up in hospital?
His words died the moment he remembered WHAT happened to him. He couldn't form a single word. He couldn't even cry
Lee Min Ho
I want to ... Sleep
He changed the whole subject
Hyunjin and Chan exchanged glances as Chan gestured Hyunjin to take him to the room. Hyunjin gestured Minho to walk with him and opened the door of a room
Hwang Hyunjin
I'll take your dinner here
Lee Min Ho
I'm ... I'm not hungry
Minho said sitting on the edge of the bed. Hyunjin sat next to him with a deep sigh
He gently ran a hand through Minho's hair
Hwang Hyunjin
Please tell me what happened to you? Why were you in the hospital?
Lee Min Ho
I just ran ... Into a small accident. M-My head hit something so ... I fell unconscious
He lied tho he never wanted to
Hwang Hyunjin
Why didn't you come to me when you woke up? Is your head Okay now
Hyunjin said anxiously. Minho simply nodded as an answer. Hyunjin cupped his face looking in his eyes. As he moved an inch above to place a kiss on younger's forehead. Minho pulled back immediately leaving him in shock
Lee Min Ho
I ... I want to ... S-Sleep
He said moving back making more distance between them. Hyunjin rose up solemnly and shocked
Hwang Hyunjin
Sleep for now
He said softly walking towards the door. Closing the door he heard Minho's footsteps to door and a slight click sound of locking the door
Boy has changed. To an extreme level

A bundle of apoligies at first specifically to 'Lyra amore' 🙇🏻♀️ . I know I promised you to update soon but I couldn't because I was having a hectic routine😖. Furthermore, I'm getting extremely confused about how to deal with characters as everything is spinning in my head 🤦🏻♀️
