"Who's ready for pizza?!" Kai's dad exclaimed as he stepped into the room

"Mee!" Me and Hyunjin shouted to match his energy

I sat up from Hyunjin's legs, and Kai's dad stuck his head, along with three pizzas into the fort. And I'm not gonna lie, they looked delicious. After all those half-shitty pizza slices I ate in camp, this was top quality.

I'm talking golden crust with bubbly, melted cheese and piping hot pepperonis on top.

"One for you" he handed one of the pizzas to Kai, "and one for each of you guys"

"Thank you" I smiled

He then slowly reverse-crawled out of the fort.

"Wait" he stopped, "which one is Felix, and which one is Hyunjin?"

He pointed at us while looking at Kai

"I'm Hyunjin" Hyunjin said

"I assume you're Felix then" he pointed towards me.

I nodded

"Alright, well enjoy your pizza guys!"

Kai wasted no time turning the movie back on. He didn't speak as much as he usually does. I assumed he was too invested in the Shrek-lore.

I picked up a slice of my pizza to test it out. Unfortunately I ended up burning the roof of my mouth as it touched the piping hot pizza sauce.

"Ah" I groaned

Apparently I wasn't alone with the whole burning thing as both Hyunjin and Kai made the exact same sound only seconds after me.

"It's hot" I mumbled trying to chew up my bite without causing a fire in my mouth.

I picked up my cup of sprite and chugged down a decent amount of it before picking up my pizza slice again. This time I blew on it first.

I could hear Hyunjin practically moaning in pleasure as he was eating.

"This is some Italian restaurant stuff" he said, complimenting the food

I took another bite, and man was he right. I might've just been really hungry, but when I tell you that slice went down in two seconds I mean it. Third degree burns were not stopping me from devouring that goodness.

"This is really good" i said

"I told you" Kai replied, "he uses this fancy stone pizza oven, or so he says"

___

We all got really full after eating.

After the first Shrek movie ended, Kai wanted to discuss the plot with us before moving on the second one. Both me and Hyunjin told him it was needless, but to Kai, that was completely necessary.

"I feel bad for the gingerbread man" he said

"Ok" Hyunjin replied

-"I mean, imagine someone doing that to you" Kai continued, "Lord farquaad is a monster"

And thats pretty much how the whole talking went on until I broke into the discussion.

"Where are we sleeping?" I asked

Kai seemed offended at my sudden interruption.

"Here" he replied, pointing down

"Here?" I said

"Uhm, yeah?" He responded

I looked down at the two mattresses laying on the floor full of random candies, and bread crumbs.

"Some people have to sleep outside" Kai said, "be grateful for what you have"

I shook my head and smiled

"I never said I was mad about it" I said

He rolled his eyes at me and turned the second Shrek movie on.

The first 30 minutes were actually very entertaining, but for some reason I started feeling really tired. I was already laying comfortably all cuddled up to Hyunjin, so nothing was stopping me from napping.

I knew Hyunjin would notice me being asleep early on, but I was sure he'd stay quiet about it. -And he did until the end of the movie.

He woke me up with a simple kiss on the crown of my head. I was confused as to what was happening at first, but it didn't take long until I heard Kai grunt beside us.

"You weren't watching?!" He belted

I rubbed my eyes, and lifted my head up a bit.

"No, no, I was watching" I lied

"He was watching" Hyunjin backed me up

Kai was not convinced in the slightest. He aggressively picked up a gummy bear and threw it in his mouth.

"You guys are so in love I might throw up" he said

Hyunjin laughed.

"What time is it?" I asked, still half-gone

"I don't know, but it's not sex-time if that's what you were thinking" Kai said in an aggressive tone.

Both me and Hyunjin were left speechless

"Pardon..?" I muttered

"Mhm, you heard me" he said

"You're so weird" I shook my head at him again

Seungmin's POV

"I know I've been pretty harsh with you" he apologized

I took another bite out of the pizza slice he gave me while thinking of something to say. I couldn't believe he was apologizing to me. Did he even mean it?

"I promise I'll let you out soon" he said

I sniffled

"I'm doing ok" I lied, "thanks"

I knew I couldn't hide my watery eyes and puffy red nose from him. It was pretty obvious that I wasn't doing ok. Anyone would have been able to see that.

"I can't risk my parents seeing you" Jeongin explained, "they wouldn't be happy"

I nodded, and kept eating. My eyes traveled behind him, and I managed to look out of the window. Complete darkness.

I felt happy that Jeongin finally apologized, and even gave me food, but that didn't change the fact that i was stuck in a closet. My legs were cramping bad, and I'd do anything to get some fresh air.

He put his hand on the door to the closet, hinting me that he was about to close it. I understood him, but it still hurt.

"Wait" I stopped him from closing it

I grabbed the arm he was holding the door with. He had this weird expression on his face. I couldn't decipher what kind of expression it was, but i hadn't seen it before. That's for sure.

"My legs hurt" I complained quietly

I felt my eyes watering up all over again just from saying that line.

His eyes widened as if he hadn't thought about that until now.

"Oh shit" he whispered, looking down at my shaky legs

Something in me told me he felt bad. It might've just been me being optimistic again, but this time I was pretty sure. His whole look softened.

"I'm so sorry" he apologized again

A tear rolled down my cheek.

He started looking around in his room, hopefully trying to find a better place for me to hide. Unfortunately, there weren't many options. His room was small, and had barely any furniture in it.

"I don't know what to do" he whispered

"It's okay, I can stay a little longer" I said after eating my last bite of pizza crust.

He looked at me and sighed

"I'll check on you every now and then okay? If you need anything just open the door to the closet slightly" he said, "Just make sure the coast is clear"

I nodded, and dried off the tear on my cheek.

-"you can let go off me now" he added

Oh

I let go off his arm before awkwardly laughing. He gave me a slight nod of compassion before closing the door.

I stared at him through the opening as he walked back to his bed. He looked frustrated.

Many hours had passed. I had no feelings in my legs, and my body was stiff. My battery percentage was running low.

Jeongin came to check on me about every 30 minutes. He'd given me water three times. He kept telling me that I'd get out soon. Apparently his whole family used to go to bed early.

I got another message, which I assumed was from mom. To my surprise, it was Jeongin. He came up with an even smarter way to communicate with me. It was risky of course, cause he wasn't supposed to use his phone that much, but it was less risky than talking to the closet.

Obviously I preferred the real-life version, but this one worked as well.

I peeked out the opening to look at him. He had a little smile on his face as he was texting me. I felt my heart flutter, but tried not to be too delusional.

He immediately lifted his head and looked over at the closet. I had no way of letting him see me, but he seemed to understand that I was peeking through the slit.

He covered his face in embarrassment before going back to writing.
