"Jooheon, are you hungry?" Changkyun asked the elder through the door, then trying to open it, but failing.
"Jooheon..baby please, Hoseok was lying I won't hurt you..please come out.." Changkyun pleaded, with fake sadness laced in his voice.
A few minutes later, he heard shuffling and a very puffy and wet face meeting his.
"Oh..Jooheon, baby come here" Changkyun opened his arms for the elder and embraced him in a tight hug.
"Are you hungry? Do you wanna go eat?" Changkyun received a nod and brought the elder downstairs.
He sat Jooheon on the couch while he went to go order a pizza, since he can't cook to save his own life.
After the order was placed, he walked up to Jooheon and cuddled him, pecking the elders lips, cheeks, and neck.
They snuggled on the couch until the doorbell rang, signaling that the pizza arrived.
Changkyun got up to answer the door and pay, then plated the pizza for him and Jooheon.
They ate together in the living room, watching t.v. and Changkyun cracking jokes, trying to cheer Jooheon up.
It never worked.
But why should he care?

Hoseok had managed to keep his relationship with Hyungwon, and made sure that Kihyun wasn't gonna murder him in his sleep tonight if his plan fails.
They were currently finishing the food Hyunwoo had prepared and discussing how they were going to get into the house.
"I could knock on his door. As far as he knows I don't pose a threat to him or his plans." Hoseok suggested.
"Wait, what the fuck do you mean 'his plans'?" Kihyun asked, obviously confused by the whole situation.
"Well...he wants to mentally manipulate Jooheon to the point where he solely believes that Changkyun is the only one who would ever love him...as a way to keep him from leaving.." Hoseok explained, rubbing his hands together.
Minhyuk let out a loud 'Oh MY God!' And threw his upper body into the back of the couch.
"This is turning out like a cringy ass episode of Riverdale!" He whined, kicking his feet like an angered toddler who couldn't get a new toy at a supermarket.
"Weird analogy but okay, Hoseok..what happened exactly when you left?" Hyunwoo leaned forward and clasped his hands together, giving Hoseok his full attention.
"I couldn't coax Jooheon out of his room..all I know is Changkyun tried and kept scaring him..I don't know after that." Hoseok rubbed his temple, the stress giving him a headache.
"Alright well, might as well make a plan." Kihyun stood up and stretched his limbs, moving to sit on Hyunwoo's lap instead.
You know, sub things.
"Well.. we could have Minhyuk drive us there, Kihyun and Hyunwoo can be on standby with the cops while Hyungwon and I go in to his apartment."
"Why me!?" Hyungwon shouted, kicking Hoseoks thigh.
"Out of all of us, you and I are the best actors. You can pretend to be playing a game on your phone when in fact you're actually texting Minhyuk everything that's happening. If he goes to the bathroom or leaves whatever room we decide to hang out in, text Minhyuk to send up the cops while we stall. Simple." Hoseok explained.
"How long have you been planning this for?" Kihyun asked, squinting his eyes.
"Too long, Kihyun...too long..."

Changkyun heard a knock and excused himself from the movie he and Jooheon were watching.
When Changkyun opened the door, he didn't expect to see a smiley Hoseok and-what looks like-an edgy teen version of Hyungwon.
"Hi kyun! Can we come in?" Hoseok asked, interlacing his and Hyungwons fingers and entering the home at Changkyuns nod of approval.
The three made their way to the living room, causing Jooheon to look over the couch.
"Won?"
"Joo?"
The two boys ran towards eachother and enveloped one another in a tight hug.
"We though we lost you" Hyungwon started tearing up at the sight of his younger friend, extremely happy to have him back.
Well, almost.
Just 15 more minutes...

"God damn it why isn't Hyungwon responding" Minhyuk's leg was bouncing up and down in its spot, he kept glancing at his phone and up at Hyunwoo, Kihyun, and the SKPD.
Roughly five minutes later, his phone buzzed.
He jumped and turned on his phone to see a notification from...Hyungwon!
------
Hyungwon 🐸🐢:
Changkyun is putting dishes in the sink, give us five minutes and I'll text you.
Me:
Will do, good luck.

"GUYS!" Minhyuk shouted out the car window, gaining attention of HyunKi and the Chief Police Officer.
"FIVE MINUTES!" He shouted and sunk back into his seat as the Chief cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted out orders.
He sent an officer into the building to warn the owner of the building about what was going to happen.
When the officer came back out Minhyuk got a text.
------
Hyungwon🐸🐢:
NOW!
Read, 11:55 p.m.

Minhyuk lifetime himself out of the car, cupped his hands over this mouth and shouted, "NOW!"
The Chief officer grabbed his gun and shouted "EVERYBODY GET MOVING, TOP FLOOR PENTHOUSE!"
Dozens of police officers flooded the building, probably a bit excessive but they needed all the help they could get.

Hyungwon grabbed ahold of Jooheon as Police officers kicked down the door and started flooding in, guns out in front of them in case anything happened or they needed to use a threat.
Changkyun came running downstairs, concerned as to what happen, only to be shouted at.
"FREEZE AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!" The chief officer shouted, signaling two officers to go restrain Changkyun.
The officers sped walked to the teenager, pulling his arms behind his back and cuffing him.
Changkyun smirked and looked over to Jooheon, maintaining eye contact.
"Wait for me baby.. I'll see you when I get out~" Changkyun winked and was forced out of the apartment, Minhyuk, Kihyun, and Hyunwoo rushing in afterwards.
"Jooheon!" Kihyun gasped out and ran over to the male that was currently snuggled into Hyungwons side, attempting to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Jooheon, honey what's wrong?" Kihyun placed his hands onto Jooheons sunken in cheeks, wiping away the tears that did fall from his small eyes.
"Ch-Changkyunnie said something to me before all of you got here."
"What was it?" Kihyun asked, moving from a crouching position to a kneeling position.
"H-he said hes the only one to love me...you guys never cared about me.." Jooheon stuttered, attempting to move away from Hyungwon, causing everyone to silently panic.
He never rejects cuddles.
"Baby that was obviously a lie.. we love and cherish you! You're the baby..." Kihyun grabbed both of Jooheons hands in his own.
Jooheon stared at the hands wrapped around his own and started sobbing, causing all the males around him to gather him into a hug.
"We promise Joo, you can finish highschool and we'll get you the help you need to get whatever he put in your head out." Hyunwoo spoke for the first time since they reunited.
"O-okay..." Jooheon sniffed.
"Uhm guys?" He looked up at everyone, receiving hums.
"Can we go get some food? I'm starving.."
"RAMYEON!" Hoseok shouted at the mention of food, causing everyone to chuckle.
As they went to leave the penthouse, Jooheon took one last look around the place.
No matter what memories it brings back...he's gonna miss it..
His fingers brushed over the desk of photos that sat in next to the staircase, grazing over photos of Nayeon and her family, Changkyuns parents, and a Polaroid of him and Changkyun after their first morning after...
Yeah...
He'll miss the place....
