"There you finally are"

Jongdae.
baekhyun's pov

I stumbled over as Jongdae stepped through the bushes and next to where I sat. His cold stare kept me in place from being able to run away.

Small cuts were located on his upper cheek and chin whilst around his eye a small bruise was forming. Did Chanyeol do that to him?

"Why did you take him? I can't just let you leave," Jongdae said while stepping forward even closer to me.

Inching back, I felt my hand brush against a rock. Maybe I can use this? While Jongdae kept cornering me back, I picked up the rock and decided to use it as my only chance. I whipped it towards his head and pushed myself off the ground.

I started to run off into the bush and then I remembered, Minseok. Dashing back to where I noticed Minseok was still peacefully sleeping and Jongdae was slowly recovering. Not taking much time, I grabbed Minseok's hand and pulled him up causing him to awaken.

He looked at me sleepily and was barely starting to move. I continued to pull at his hand in urge for him to start running. Realizing that he might see Jongdae, I moved to his side where Jongdae was so he wouldn't be noticed.

Not much longer, I felt my grip from Minseok loosen and my back hitting against one of the trees. Jongdae recovered.

Jongdae located himself safely by Minseok in a protecting matter while glaring at me. His whole demeanor showed hate towards me. The area where I hit his head had a small smudge of blood on it and a bad looking cut.

Jongdae's pov

Baekhyun laid down in pain against the tree whilst I glared at him. My head was throbbing but I knew that soon it would go away. The fight I had with Chanyeol wasn't helping my thoughts either.

*flashback*
I kept trying to run after Minseok and Baekhyun but every time Chanyeol would push me back.

I knew that Chanyeol had always been stronger than me, that's why he was able to leave the house. But I was stuck there because I was considered weak. Constantly, I would try the same things I knew Chanyeol had done to leave but each time I would fail. He made everything seem so easy and got everything he wanted. It wasn't fair. I spent my whole life growing up working hard and trying to impress everyone and get love but as soon as Chanyeol showed up, I was unwanted. And I hated him for that.

Minseok was my second chance at any type of life. He's been the only one who's chosen me over Chanyeol. Even after all the things I did to him and made him do, he stuck with me. Part of me now felt guilty for making him do those things, after all, if something fatal ever happened, he most likely could die.

Whilst thinking, I felt a blow on my chin which sent me flying back. I looked up to Chanyeol who looked pissed.

"Jongdae! I know you love Minseok but you can't go ruining everyone else's lives just for your own happiness!"

"Like you're one to talk!"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You left me there! I was alone growing up and wanted my brother back! And even when we were together, I always tried to be like you! I kept on working hard and putting in so much effort to everything I did so I could have a small chance of leaving, but instead you would always show up and do better than me without even trying. Every time, I would get punished for not trying hard enough and not being as good as you. Did you ever feel any sympathy for me? Or was I just another one of those people who had a chance to be involved with you?"

"Jongdae! That's never how it went. Every time when you were getting punished, I would be upstairs begging for them to stop it."

"You could've stopped it if you had just let me do better for once!"

Releasing my anger, I threw a punch towards Chanyeol making him look to me and hold his face where I hit him. Chanyeol's face scrunched up before he launched himself forwards, allowing his fist to hit me on my upper cheek.

By now, my face was burning and it hurt. Looking around me for any help, I noticed that by the carousel a small pile of wires were beside the operating machine. Kicking Chanyeol quickly in the gut, I sprinted over extra wires and ran back to where Chanyeol was.

I wrapped the wires around him and started tying at them while he was struggling to escape. Moving him over to one of the horses at the carousel, he managed to get his arm loose to only hit me in the eye.

Ignoring the pain on my face, I wrapped more wire around his arm before tying him up to the horse. Quickly punching him one more time, I started to walk away to where Minseok and Baekhyun ran off.

Turning around, I quickly said, "Chanyeol this time I'm getting Minseok. I don't give a fuck if I have to kill Baekhyun in the process either."

"Jongdae! You asshole let me out of here. You better not do anything to Baekhyun or else I will kill both you and Minseok"

"How could you kill us if you're stuck there?" Feeling proud of myself, I turned back around and walked off into the bush while I could still hear Chanyeol yell some things to me.

I kept on walking for a while and soon it became dark. How far could they have gone? I kept walking for about another hour until I finally heard a small noise. I looked to see what it was, and there I finally saw them.

*end of flashback*

Baekhyun's pov

I held my stomach because it felt as though Jongdae had kicked me there to separate me from Minseok. Nothing around me could help me out of my situation but all I wanted was to get to Minseok. Baring with the pain, I stood up and limped over to Jongdae and Minseok.

Before I could even reach them, Jongdae already moved up and kicked me back down to where I was before, causing more pain to surge throughout my body.

Instead of Jongdae returning over to Minseok, he moved towards me before kicking me continuously. I heard a small 'stop' before I felt myself passing out.

I easily could recognize that voice. It was Minseok. He still cared about me even if he had to stand up to Jongdae.
