Title: 24/7
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: WonKyu Siwon/Kyuhyun
Summary: Kyuhyun would love to say that his romance began in a coffee shop with shy smiles but it didn’t. It started with a kidnapping and his stalker.
Notes: AU.
Kyuhyun sits there panting slightly from the roughness. He watches as Siwon smiles at him, the dopey look back on his face. He can feel himself flinch when a hand reaches out to stroke his cheek.
Siwon doesn’t even seem to notice his tense stance.
“Sungmin used to be my Doctor.” Somehow that doesn’t surprise Kyuhyun as much as it should have. He keeps quiet and lets Siwon continue stroking his face. (It scares him that it’s actually comforting, especially after that kiss.) What makes him more uncomfortable is how the man’s still hovering right above him on the bed.
“He wanted me to save him.” As if that explained everything Siwon suddenly lays down, his arms coming around to hug Kyuhyun. “I wish you’d relax more around me.”
Kyuhyun can feel himself freeze at the whispered words. His heart is pounding. What scares him is the fact that he can’t tell if it’s in fear of those words or at the anguished way they’re said. It’s almost pitiful how sad Siwon sounds.
It’s hard to explain the fear and comfort that this man makes him feel, there is an edge to the dopey idiot act. Yet there’s also something very genuine to the words that the man says, the fondness in his looks and touches that make it difficult to remember that Siwon is dangerous.
Isn’t sane.
Kyuhyun feels the man sigh at this lack of response, but Siwon doesn’t let go of him. The arms around him are more constraining then comforting now and Kyuhyun tries not to instinctively struggle.
“I want to help people. The ones who have nowhere to go, we help those who need help. It’s their decision if they want to stay.”
Kyuhyun wants to ask. He wants to ask, why did you kidnap me then? or better yet, why can’t I leave? But his mouth won’t move and he knows he isn’t ready for the answer, that it’s probably better that he doesn’t know.
So he doesn’t ask, just stays still in those arms.
That’s the end of their conversation. Siwon makes no move to leave and Kyuhyun doesn’t know what he should be doing. He doesn’t know what to do so he tries to pretend. Pretend that he’s back at the university dormitories. Pretend that everything is normal.
Slowly he falls into a restless sleep.
--
He wakes up sometime later, the bed is cold and there’s no sign of Siwon. Kyuhyun is listless. Not entirely sure what just happened.
Seconds. Minutes. Hours. They all tick by. There’s no telling how much time pass. There are no windows in this room and the only thing to keep him company is his thoughts.
The claustrophobia of the room is killing him. All these questions that are swimming in his mind. It was the second time they’d brought up the whole saving thing; Eunhyuk’s happy expression and Siwon’s gentle tone as they spoke of it.
Maybe they kill people to save them? Or maybe they just lock people in a room until they go crazy?
He can feel himself grasp at desperate thoughts, each idea growing crazier and more gruesome. Kyuhyun knows he’s overreacting but what else can he do? He could just kill himself in this room. Kill himself and never have to wonder about the dark secrets that surround these people. Break the chair and use it to hurt himself, it’d be simple-
Luckily, or maybe not, there’s a knock at the door. Kyuhyun can feel himself tense as he watches the door open.
“I’ve brought the cream.” It’s Sungmin. The man is out of his Doctor’s get up; he’s wearing a too big for him pink jumper that makes him look girly. Kyuhyun can only nod at the man.
There’s something wary about the man’s aura this time. His movements are tense and he doesn’t seem to even want to be near Kyuhyun. So Kyuhyun just keeps quiet and watches the man sit hesitantly on the chair still next to his bed.
They’re silent as Sungmin applies the cream. It smells like strawberries and Kyuhyun feels a touch of hysteria as he wonders if he’ll ever get to go outside again. Will the rest of his life be drugged soups and creepy men? It’s clawing at him. The fact that escape didn’t even seem like a remote possibility anymore.
That’s when he sees the bruises on the man’s wrist. It looks painful and it’s a vivid purple that somehow matches the long pink sleeve. The finger marks stand out and he’s hit with nausea. Was it Siwon? The marks disappear as Sungmin deliberately pulls the sleeve further down.
“It should feel better soon.” He’s startled out of his disturbing thoughts by the smaller man. He expects Sungmin to let go of his wrist but the doctor just sits in the chair holding it. The smell of strawberries is becoming overwhelming and Kyuhyun feels dizzy with thoughts of purple and pink.
They sit like that when Sungmin finally speaks, his gaze fixed firmly on the door.
“You need to escape.”
It’s spoken in such a monotone voice that makes Kyuhyun feel uneasy.
“What do you mean?” The grip around his wrist tightens just that tiniest bit. “You need to get out of here.” Kyuhyun doesn’t say anything, can only keep his gaze on the pink jumper that could be hiding other bruises. He feels Sungmin let go of his wrist.
There’s a pause. Then Kyuhyun asks a question that’s been nagging at him. A relatively harmless one in his opinion.
“He said you used to be his Doctor. What was wrong with him?”
It’s a touchy subject if the way Sungmin’s jaw clenches and his hands balls into fists are any indication. The silence that follows is deafening in its own way.
Sungmin doesn’t answer his question, just repeats what he said before.
“You should go as soon as possible, escape before it’s too late.”
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t need saving. Not like the others. You’re normal.”
Sungmin gives him no chance to ask any more questions, the man gets up gracefully and moves to the door. He turns to look at Kyuhyun.
“Leave before it’s too late.”
Too late for what?
There are no more words as Sungmin exits without another look back. The door is left open slightly. Kyuhyun stares at the unlocked door. The meaningful look Sungmin had given him before he’d left. He can feel his mind whir with the possibilities.
Leave before it’s too late.
It’s a chance he shouldn’t have taken.
He gets up. His wrist isn’t throbbing as badly, almost numb after the topical cream had been applied. There’s a desperation within him that’s propelling him towards the door. Towards what he believes is freedom.
So he goes to the door and steps outside. It’s completely silent. He doesn’t run this time; it’s almost as if he’s in a bubble. He wanders down the same hallway and finds himself standing at the very same door as the last time he’d tried to escape.
Why hadn’t he just tried to leave?
But despite everything there’s a part of him that’s never felt so wanted before. Even by a madman like Siwon.
So he’s curious. Curious about what these people are about. (And there’s this tiny part of him that’s whispering, whispering about how he can’t escape, how this is all a set up so Kangin will come hurt him again, so he might as well investigate.)
He turns the handle.
He watches as the door opens slowly and his eyes begin to adjust to the darkness of the room. The overwhelming smell of roses almost makes him sick.
He steps inside and reaches for the light.
Kyuhyun feels almost light-headed at the sight that greets him. Because…because it’s what’s inside the room that makes him truly ill. There are hundreds of photos stuck around the room, dotted on the walls, sticking to the window and he’s in every single one of them.
“What…” His mind is reeling with shock. He takes an involuntary step back only to hit a firm chest.
“Kyuhyun.” He whirls around at the quiet murmur of his name. The feeling of dread growing with every second that ticks past.
Siwon is smiling at him and that’s when Kyuhyun hears the tell-tale click of a lock.
“You found my room.”
--tbc.
Hehehe, I updated early~ I also can’t stop listening to U-Kiss 0-0;; Anyways think carefully about what Sungmin said…
I hope you liked this chapter! Siwon wasn’t too creepy this time was he? >_<
Thank you for reading ^.^
