Kyuhyun POV
I could feel my whole body trembling as I read the letter, I read the letter again and again, it’s a lie, right? They wouldn’t get Sungmin, right? My brain keep popping up some question to deny this but some part of them was telling me that it’s true. Unconsciously, my feet start to run, run out from the house to the yard, my eyes keep searching in the middle of night, hoping that I could find him… but I couldn’t…
“What happened, Kyu?” I can hear someone asking behind me but I don’t know who… my ear couldn’t recognize other voice except Sungmin voice who was ringing on my head again and again, telling me that he’ll be okay alone. Is it, Min? Are you really okay… of course not, stupid Kyu… Where are you, Min? Are you alright? You must be really scared… I’m sorry, Minnie-ah…
My legs couldn’t bear my weight anymore as I kneel down on the road, my hands clutching that piece of paper and before I know it, tears ran down on my face. Stupid Kyuhyun! How could you leave him alone! How could you give them a chance to get him! How couldn’t you protect him for once! How could you fail him once again!
“Kyu?” someone touching my shoulder, stopping me from blaming myself, that someone sit beside me and lift up my body, forcing me to look at that person, it was Eunhyuk-hyung, “What happened? What are you doing in here?” seeing the concerned look on his face make me look away, I couldn’t see him now… I fail to protect his beloved brother… I couldn’t protect him even for once… I always fail him again and again… what a promise Cho Kyuhyun… you couldn’t keep your promise again… you stupid bastard… loser…
I don’t know how he take the paper away from my hand, the next thing I know was he was sobbing hard in front of me… blaming himself…
I don’t want to see him right now… I’m ashamed… I run quickly on my room and bagging the door loudly. I slid down to the floor, hugging my knees to my chest, crying helplessly… it’s not your fault, hyung… it’s mine… I couldn’t protect him… I couldn’t…

Normal POV
Eunhyuk was sobbing hard on Donghae’s chest, hugging him tightly and keep muttering how everything was his fault. Donghae hold his boyfriend tightly, muttering comforting words… telling him that’s it’s not his fault and sometime, kissing his temple to calm him down.
Ryeowook was not better, he was crying too while hugging Yesung tightly and Yesung look troubled too. “What should we do, hyung?” Donghae speak up, looking directly at Yesung. “We couldn’t just let Hyukkie to go there alone… it’ll be dangerous… we don’t know what’s their plan”
“But we couldn’t just let them have Sungmin-hyung like that!” Eunhyuk said emotionally, “If it wasn’t because of me… Sungmin-hyung wouldn’t get involved in this… it was because of me, they caught him like that… it wa--“
“Shhh… Hyukkie… it’s not your fault… everything gonna be alright… we will find a way to save him” Donghae hug him once again, cutting his words.
“Donghae is right, Hyuk… everything will be alright...”
“But Sungmin-hyung! We finally could gain his trust again! I don’t want to see him like that again, hyung… I don’t want to…”
“We all are the same… we will find a way to save him… all we have to do now is to calm our self so we could plan something to save him…”
“Just let me go there…” Eunhyuk said, looking at them seriously, “Let me go to the City Park alone just like what they ask…”
“But it was dangerous, Hyukkie! They would do something bad to you!”
“And you think they won’t do something bad to Sungmin-hyung?” he answer Donghae’s word quickly, “You didn’t forget that he was just like me, right? That we were kidnapped years ago! And now… that person was targeting me again because I survive in that fire!” Donghae just sit there, shocked. Everything that Eunhyuk just said was true… he and the other was just focused on how to protect Eunhyuk from that people until they forget that Sungmin was also on the same boat as Eunhyuk. “We didn’t know if he will be alright… what if they already know about Sungmin-hyung… what if they do something bad to him… what if they--“ Eunhyuk couldn’t continue his word as he burst in tears once again, he lean his body to Donghae’s and hugging him tightly, “I just don’t want something bad happen to him, Hae…”
Ryeowook suddenly rise from his seat, he wipe the tears away from his face, “I’ll go to Kyuhyun… I’ll try to calm him down… we need him right now… to save Minnie-hyung…”
Yesung look at his lover face with a small smile on his face, “Thank you” he muttered, which the latter just smile back at him before leaving the room.
“Use me…” Eunhyuk said once again, “Use me as bait… and you all go to save Sungmin-hyung. They want me, right?”
“But Hyukkie--“
“I’m agree with Donghae” Yesung said, cut off Donghae’s words, “It will be so dangerous for you to go there, we all know that they are targeting you and I’m sure that they kidnapping Sungmin was just to get you and I don’t want them to get what they wanted” Eunhyuk open up his mouth but Yesung cut him off, “I know how you feel, we all worried about him too but we just couldn’t let you go like that. we will find a way… to save Sungmin from them”

“Kyu…” Ryeowook knocking on Kyuhyun’s room door for the fifth time since he got there, “Kyu… open the door, please…” but once again, no answer from the said boy. “Kyu… I know how you feel about this but Kyuhyun… we need to stay calm, to find a way to save Sungmin-hyung from that person” he said, loud enough for the other to hear him. “Kyu…”
“Please Wookie-hyung… I need sometime alone…” come a faint whisper from the other side of the door.
Ryeowook rub his temple and sigh hard, “Alright… I’ll give you some time alone… but Kyu… don’t blame yourself…” he plead, “I’ll come back again”
After make sure that Ryeowook was leaving him, Kyuhyun break out in tears, “Don’t blame myself? He didn’t know what I feel right now… Sungmin… Sungmin… he… we finally could bring the old him out again… finally I could see him smile happily again… finally I could see his sparkling eyes again… but now… I don’t know what they will do to him… I don’t know if he would freak out again or not… I couldn’t protect him… I fail him once again. I couldn’t be a good boyfriend for him!” Kyuhyun screamed as loud as he could, punching the door hard, tears falling from his eyes freely, regretting why this could happening to his fragile boyfriend, “If only I was strong enough… if only I was more aware… they wouldn’t get Sungmin this easily. This is my fault in the first place”
Little did he know, outside of the room, Ryeowook was sitting in front of his door, leaning his body into it, listening to his every word. Both of his hand covering his mouth, trying to muffled his own tears.

Next day
Early in the morning, Eunhyuk was walking alone outside of the house. He slid his hand into his jacket pocket; sometime he stiffed his body slightly because of the chilly air. He look around, trying to find if there was someone who follow him, he let out a huge sigh when he didn’t find any of them. He continue to walk until he find the City Park, he stop for a while and set his breath, after he feel that he was less afraid, he walk further into the City Park. He was about to search to the people who ask him to come here, someone grab his hand and tied it behind his back. He struggled hard but the person just tied him tighter, he look up when he hear someone clapping their hand, his eyes widen when he recognize the man, “You…” it was his fans when they was still on high school, Jaehee, “So you are…”
“Ah… annyeong Hyukjae-ssi…” the man bow his head slightly, smiling brightly at him, “It’s a shame that we have to meet like this” he walk closer to Eunhyuk, make the latter to flinch slightly, “Ouch… I didn’t mean to hurt you, Hyukjae-ssi… I’m you fan, right? Why would a fan make their idol feel threatened?” he walk closer and hold onto Eunhyuk chin, make him to look at his eyes, “But you know… I’m not that kind of fans… well… I’m not your fans on the first place” he let go of him harshly before walking away from him.
“Where is Sungmin-hyung? What did you do to him?”
“Hmm… he’s alright… I think. Well, as long as you didn’t try to escape I can make sure that he’ll be alright” he said with a playful voice, “But! If you try to escape, then I couldn’t make sure of his safety”
“You want me, right? Now let him go! He has nothing to do with this problem!”
“Oh… or so you thought. We couldn’t let him go like that… because if we do… our boss couldn’t get his revenge to your grandfather”
“You can use me! But not him, please…”
“No… we need both of you” Eunhyuk eyes widen after he said that, “We already know about that boy identity and you think our boss will be happy if we let him go after we get you? My answer is no… he wouldn’t happy with that, because you know… he really want to make your family suffered, he want your family to feel how to lose the company that he build with his own hand, to lose everything that he love so much and you know what… he was good enough to teach them to your and that boy family”
“You… know?”
“Of course… you are stupid enough to think that we didn’t know about him”
The man laughed evilly; make Eunhyuk struggle harder, “You bastard! You said that you would let him go if I come to you!” he curse.
“Really? I don’t remember that I write that things on the letter” he flick his finger making the man who hold Eunhyuk hit the back of Eunhyuk’s neck and make him go limp on his hand, “Take him” he ordered, they headed to the car that park not too far away from their position right now before drive away from the City Park.

“Hyukkie this--“ Donghae’s word died down when he see that his lover was not on their room. He open the bathroom door only to find that it was empty. He put the tray on the night stand when he discovered a neatly written letter from his boyfriend.
Hae, I’m sorry… but I couldn’t leave Sungmin-hyung alone like that. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you or everyone about this because I know that you won’t let me go but please understand me, Hae… I don’t want them to hurt Sungmin-hyung because of me… I’m sorry, Hae… I really am.
Donghae grit his teeth when he read Eunhyuk’s letter, he crumble it before throw it away and dash out of the room. He go downstairs, where he know Yesung and Ryeowook was preparing their breakfast. “Hyung…” he panted but loud enough to make Yesung look at him, “Hyukkie… he’s gone”
“You mean?”
“He’s gone! Damn it! He go to save Sungmin by himself!”
The sound of something crashed could be hear in the dining room, their breakfast scattered on Ryeowook’s feet. Yesung look at his lover and was about to calm him but Ryeowook dashed out of the room, “Wookie!” Yesung shouted and follow him.
Ryeowook banging Kyuhyun’s door loudly, “Kyu open the door!” he keep banging the door when he hear no answer, “Answer it damn it!”
“Wookie-ah…” Yesung hold Ryeowook’s hand, keeping him from banging the door again and again, “Let him alone for a while”
“No!” he snapped, he struggle to get free from Yesung’s hold, “He can’t be like this, hyung… Eunhyuk-hyung was searching by himself and we don’t know what will happen to him and we couldn’t just sit down like last night when Sungmin-hyung and Eunhyuk-hyung safety was still unknown!”
“Wookie…”
“Shut up you two!” Donghae shouted, hearing the two of them arguing like that make his anger flare up, he look at the closed door in front of him, he break in the door and look around the room angrily, he walk further to the room when he see the object of his anger curling up near the opened window. His fist balled when he walk angrily and when he was near enough, he punch the man in front of him making the other to fall to the floor.
“Donghae-hyung!” Ryeowook was about to walk in but Yesung hold his hand, signaling him to stop. He look at the two man inside of the room before turning his heels, dragging Ryeowook downstairs with him, ‘I’ll leave him to you, Hae…’
“What the hell o you think you are doing!” Donghae shouted at the motionless man in front of him, “Do you think if you keep crying like that Sungmin will come back?!” he grab Kyuhyun’s collar, “Answer me damn it!”
“It’s all my fault!” Kyuhyun shouted, looking at Donghae with hurtful look, “If I didn’t leave him alone like that he would still be here! If I was aware of their presence, they couldn’t get him this easily! If I was strong enough I could protect him from them!”
“What’s done is done!” Donghae tighten his hold on Kyuhyun collar, “we couldn’t change the past with just a what if… You said it by yourself, right?!” Donghae shouted in front of Kyuhyun’s face, “The important thing right now is find a way how to save Sungmin and Eunhyuk from them! We couldn’t save them if you keep crying and lock yourself in your fucking room like this!”
Kyuhyun’s eyes widen. Donghae’s words stab him on his heart; he couldn’t look the anger on Donghae’s eyes anymore when he shift his gaze to the floor, “I’m sorry…”

Sungmin POV
I curled my body on the corner of the room, my hands were hugging my knees tightly. The room was so dark, I couldn’t see anything in here. Where am I? Why could I be here? I hug myself tighter when some memories keep flashing in front my eyes like a movie. Everytime it come out, I couldn’t stop my tears anymore. Please… someone… stop it… It hurts…
I hug myself tighter when I hear the door opened. Please… don’t hurt me anymore… I don’t want to… please… Kyunie… help me please… I don’t want it again… it hurts, please… help me…
“Shh…” I could feel a pair of arms holding my shoulder, “It’s okay… I’m not going to hurt you” the person said, “It’s okay… I mean no harm to you”
The sincere on his voice make me calm, I loosen my hug on my knees and look up to see his voice but I couldn’t see him, everything was so dark in here, all I could tell was that he was smiling gently at me, “W-Who are y-you?”
“It’s okay…” he whispered, he hold my hand and help me to stand up, “Let’s get out of here”
