Lost Star~Ateez OT8

Wooyoung POV
How could I be such a dumbass. She’s not answering my calls and I can understand that. But she’s gone and it’s still dangerous for her to be alone. I called Seonghwa and asked if he heard from her, which he hadn’t. He tried asking me whats going on but I just hung up on him. Too ashamed to tell him what I did. I need to call him back though, we need to find her
~call ringing through bluetooth~
*Hello?* - Seonghwa
*Hey, um has anyone heard from Rhea yet?*
*No, we’ve all tried calling her and texting her but she hasn’t answered. What happened Wooyoung. You need to tell us. And I’m putting you on speakerphone right now so the others can here* - Seonghwa
*Wooyoung what’s going on! How could you lose Rhea!* - San
*Guys I’m sorry. I fucked up big time and I don’t think she’s ever going to forgive me…*
*Spit it out already. We need to find her now!* - Yunho
*We were on our date and she had to go to the bathroom and I was waiting for her just outside the doors and, I ran into my ex*
*Oh hell the fuck no. You kissed her didn’t you?!* - Yeosang
And I couldn’t say anything because I feel too ashamed. I just want to find her and make things right but. I'm getting the gut feeling she will never want anything to do with me again
*Get your ass back here now! I’m calling Chan to see if he can help us find her. Fucking idiot. You knew she was hesitant to give us a second chance to begin with and you go and do something like this now* - Hongjoong
Click. Call ended. I was speeding back to the house crying the whole ride back and hating myself more then anything. I hope we can find her fast.

Rhea POV
I opened my eyes to see a white ceiling, I moved around a little and noticed I’m covered up with a big fuzzy blanket and one of Callie’s teddy bears in my arms and I started to silently sob again
*I’m going to kick his ass when I see him. I swear to god* - Callie
I jumped a little. I thought I was alone. I sat up and looked around to see that I’m back at Stray Kids house in their living room. She got up and came over to sit next to me on the couch covering herself up too and wrapped her arm around my shoulder and held me as I violently cried. I heard some footsteps come into the room and looked over. I don’t care how much of a mess I look like right now
It was Felix. His eyes filled with sadness and anger, coming to sit over on the other side of me and holding my hand
*Chan just got a call from Hongjoong, he asked him if we could help find you after you ran from Wooyoung. He let him know that you’re here and they’re on their way right now* - Felix
*He’s not coming though right* I blubbered out to.the best of my ability
*I don’t think so, unless he wants to be punched by nine different people here. We think of you as our sister Rhea, because you and Callie are. And we’ll do anything we can to help you and protect you too* - Felix
I gave him a small hug and a half hearted smile. Wiping my face with my hands and trying to calm down again.

-30 minutes later-

Still sitting in the living room with Callie and Felix, they were doing their best to make me laugh, letting me play music through the sound system and showing me things they thought I would find funny. Multiple footsteps getting closer. The rest of Stray Kids and my boys came walking through. I couldn’t look at any of them and hid my face in Callie’s shoulder again. Trying hard not to cry, I’m not sure if I even had anything left in me from how hard I’ve been crying already, my throat aches and it still feels like a knife was dragged through my chest
I felt hands softly touching my lap and turned my face to see who it was, Mingi, his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes a mixture of sadness and pure rage, but his touch is still so soft against me. And I started crying again and jumped forward throwing my arms around his neck pulling him into me as tight as I could. He didn’t hesitate to return my embrace
*I’m so sorry sweetheart, were all here for you okay. Is there anything that would make you feel better right now?* - Mingi
I shook my head. No wait.
*I want some ice cream and brownies* but it came from my throat so raspy, and I closed my eyes
I heard some footsteps wandering around and a couple minutes later Mingi was gently pulling away from me, Jongho and Seungmin standing there with a big ass bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and maraschino cherries, and a plate of brownies. I think Felix baked them. I remember seeing some videos of skz and he was baking brownies
Mingi grabbed it from them and placed it in my lap. And I started eating bits and pieces of it. Picking up my phone and opening my Spotify, playing my sad playlist. Up next Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue. The music and the junk food eventually started to make me feel a little better. I’m so exhausted emotionally and mentally. I just want to go home to my studio apartment in America, curl up in my single bed and cry until I pass out.
Such a thing is no longer possible. I’m still being hidden against a murderous mafia group because of my brother, I’m in Korea now and just to make things worse. I got cheated on. I felt like crying again but instead there was a tightness in my chest.
The atmosphere right now is quiet but tense. I can feel the anger coming from them. I just wanted to forget this whole thing. I wish I could get amnesia to forget everything. Forget about mafias, forget about kidnappings, forget about being shot and feeling a knife being driven through me, forget that I saw him kissing her.
I get it. I’m not the most attractive girl in the world. I’m the opposite. I’m short, with long black hair, tan skin because of my race, gross shit colored eyes, with no ass and no tits. What was I expecting. They said they would do anything to fix it after they tried to leave me behind and make me stay with Stray Kids. They said they would earn back my forgiveness and trust. But here I am left with a broken heart, wishing desperately to just lose my memory
But I should’ve been careful for what I wished for
I stood up holding my dishes ignoring the hands that tried to help me and walked into the kitchen. There’s a huge window over the kitchen sink, I opened it up as quiet as I could, leaving them all behind. I landed with a soft thud against the grass and booked shit around the house until I made it to the long gravel driveway and ran as fast I could, trying to figure out how I was going to jump the fence. I climbed up easy enough but it was getting down that was tricky, my foot slipped from my sock and I panicked, flailing as I landed on the concrete with a hard thud, hitting my head first, searing pain splitting through my skull and I blacked out

Callie POV
*I’m gonna go check on her and ask her what she wants to do now. You guys just wait here for now okay*
Head nods of approval and I went to the kitchen. It’s eerily quiet. What the hell is she doing. I rounded the corner looking to see an empty kitchen and the window open. She ran away. Tightness in my chest and my eyes watered
*SHES GONE* my voice trembled. And I ran back into the living room to see them all standing and turning towards the door to exit the living room and racing to the front. Jeongin throwing the door open, neither one of us wearing shoes and we all ran outside to try and find her. Half searching around the property and the rest of us went towards the front gate, there was no way she would be able to hop over that fence. I was in the lead running as fast as my legs can carry me, and as I got closer I saw her limp body on the ground, the gate swinging open and I knelt down, she’s still breathing but shes passed out. She couldve had another panic attack or she hurt herself. Either way, Hyunjin said we she should get her to the hospital

Rhea POV
My nose wrinkled in disgust, it smells like gross cleaner. My eyes fluttering open, looking at the ceiling. Looking around to see that I’m in a hospital bed, in a private room. I looked over and saw Callie leaning forward towards me, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Waiting for me to say something
*Callie. If I don’t get released out of here tonight we’re going to miss the concert* my eyebrows furrowed and I frowned
*Rhea. What concert* her voice barely above a whisper
*The Stray Kids and Ateez concert silly. We’ve been counting down to this for months. How could you forget?*
*Oh my good god. DOCTOR PLEASE COME IN HERE* - Callie
