Chanyeol's POV

I started running, as fast as I could, coffee still in hand. Occasionally, I would bump into someone mumbling a small sorry and taking sips of my coffee. After all, the park was a long ways away and I needed some energy. Once my cup was empty, I threw it into a local garbage can and darted my way over to Baekhyun's location.

Arriving at the park, I noticed Jongin, Kyungsoo, Yixing, and Junmyeon standing there. "Is this all that could make it or agreed to coming?" I asked.

"Yep," Junmyeon responded.

"Okay, well let's split up and look around for anything, if you see something just holler," I exclaimed.

"Sure," Jongin said.

After our short meeting, everyone ran off in different directions, but with me making Kyungsoo go with Jongin. I walked around slowly, taking in any sort of sign showing a direction where Baekhyun and Minseok might have went. Nothing was turning up but a distant voice was heard.

"I think I found something!" Junmyeon shouted from farther off in the distance. Hope filled up inside me so I started dashing to be able to see if there was something that could lead to where I could find Baekhyun. Once I found Junmyeon I asked, "What is it?"

"There's drag marks here," he exclaimed. Looking down on the ground, there was indeed drag marks which led in the direction towards the back of the theme park. By now, everyone else was here and gathering around the area that led to where Baekhyun might be.

Following the tracks, we reached a small gift shop. Stepping inside, the air turned cold and gloomy. The shelbes were all empty and dust was gathering on them. A small whimper came from behind the counter and I looked around to see what it was.

Baekhyun...

He was out and his body was shivering. Scooping him up, I brought him closer to me to give him some warmth. I kept asking why is he out here unguarded? My brain got confused as to why we didn't encounter Jongdae but oart of me was grateful.

Standing up properly, I kept Baekhyun in my arms bridal style. Slowly I walked out, completely forgetting about everyone else. 

All I did was focus on the now pale and bruised Baekhyun. Eye bags were evident under his eyes and small cuts and scrapes were surrounding his face. His arms had small bruises and his hands were covered in dirt. How did he become so horrible looking? Anger grew inside my stomach because Jongdae was the one who caused this.

Was hurting the life of a poor, innocent person really worth getting back at me for trying to be normal? If so, then I would somehow, someday get back at him.

Baekhyun's eyes slowly started to open and he seemed to smile at the sight of me.

"Chanyeol," he said, "Y-you came."

"Yes, and I'm getting you out of here."

"Oh, okay."

As I continued to walk holding Baekhyun close to me, I felt the air becoming dense. He's close....

With the corner of my eye, I saw Jongdae flying in my direction. Taking a small side step, he flew past me, tripping in the process.

A small, "ow," was heard before he stood up, rubbing the top of his head.

I clenched harder onto Baekhyun making him look up at me. "Sorry," I muttered. He just looked down and gave a small nod.

Taking a small look around, I noticed that Minseok was no where to be seen.

"Where's Minseok?" I heard Baekhyun say before I did.

"Just over there!" Jongdae pointed to behind us, at the small run-down carousel.

"Can you just let us all go freely?" I requested.

"Why would I do that Chanyeol? That's no fun, plus you left me in the first place," he argued. Knowing he was right, I gave out a small sigh.

But was harming an innocent person really worth getting back at me for wanting to be normal?

"One sec, I'm getting Minseok!" Jongdae cheered. He disappeared for a few seconds, into the mix of horses, before returning with a blood covered Minseok.

His face was pale and he was clearly trembling. Splattered across his face was the dreaded red-colored liquid, drooling down onto some off his shirt and hands. His hands were tied together, allowing him little access to escape or fight back with his hands.

Minseok was a total mess compared to Baekhyun.

A small tug was at my shoulder and Baekhyun's small hand was curled against my shirt, pulling on it. "What is it?" I asked.

"Down," he said, gesturing to the ground beneath us. Understanding what he meant, I slowly helped him to stand on the ground before looking back up to Jongdae.

I turned quickly to Baekhyun and put my hands on either side of his shoulders. "Stay behind me, and no matter what happens, don't go anywhere near Jongdae." I lectured. He nodded his head in agreement briefly before I let go and turned back around.

Just trust me Baek, I'm going to get Minseok back safely, with you with me.
