8♡Bruises

Very random and messy blub

---

"Little one? Can you come to mommy please?" Jisung smiled, opening his arms towards Felix. The little looked up from whatever lego pieces he was putting together and smiled, shuffling closer. He got in between Jisung's legs and draped them over the older's, showing him the two pieces he just put together.

"Hi there. Are you okay, baby?" Jisung smiled, rubbing Felix's back. The boy looked up and nodded, his smile shown on his face.

Though it didn't reach his eyes.

Like it hadn't the past few weeks.

At first it were small changes, like Felix coming back from practice already in his headspace, talking a bit less than usual, or babbling incoherent words for his bandmates to try and understand.

After it were the changes of eating less, being more alone locked up in his room and not wanting to be alone, especially near the company. Of course everyone had taken action to make the boy as comfortable as possible, though they couldn't understand why he was having the slight changes.

Now though, they noticed things they couldn't just not look at. Bruises on Felix's body, flinching at simple hugs which he used to love, and almost being non verbal other than a few words the members forced him to speak. They didn't mean it in a bad way and knew they would respect the boy if he didn't feel comfortable talking, but they did have to get verbal answers here and there to understand him better.

In order to get him more comfortable and hopefully open up, they send his ultimate sunshine twin in action.

"Hmm, we noticed Lixie has been a bit sad lately. Is that true? Or do you feel another emotion?" Jisung asked, his voice soft and caring through the laughs and chatter around in the dance room. Felix shrugged his shoulders and leaned his head down, pulling the hood of his sweater over his head as he laid himself on Jisung's shoulder.

"You don't know?" The older asked, pressing a light kiss on top of Felix's head. The boy nodded and folded his arms in between the two, resting against Jisung's warm body. "Hmm... Sungie saw a boo on Lixie earlier. Can you show me where the boo is?"

Felix whimpered softly, though he sat up anyway. He looked down at his lap and pushed the waistband of his sweatpants down a bit, looking back up at Jisung. The older frowned at the bruise on his hip and leaned down a bit to inspect it, helping Felix push his waistband down to see if there was more bruising.

"Is there any other boo?" Jisung asked, gently pulling Felix's hoodie back down. The little let out a little noise and showed him his wrists, looking back up at the male. "Oh baby... You have a boo here, a boo there, a boo on your hip... How come Lixie has so many of them?" Jisung asked, careful not to cross a line the little wouldn't like.

Felix once again shrugged his shoulders, leaning his head down on the older's shoulder again. Jisung sighed and pressed a kiss against the little's head, deciding to leave it for now.

Later, when practice was almost over, Chan went to Jisung. Felix had fallen asleep against the older so they had  time to talk without the boy having to hear whatever they'd say.

"Did he say anything?" The leader asked, gently running his hand through Felix's soft hair. Jisung sighed and shook his head softly, rubbing over the little's back.

"He didn't speak a single word... About the bruises, he has a bruise on his hip and at his wrists. So more than we saw already. Maybe we just have to talk to him when he's big?" Jisung suggested, looking up at Chan. The older sighed and nodded, patting both their heads before going to his bag.

"Break for half an hour and then everyone in the recording studio!" He announced, walking out of the practice room. Jisung woke Felix up and got the little to follow, heading to the company's hallways to get some snacks.

Only when it was nighttime Felix was able to return to the dorms. He, Minho and Hyunjin had worked on some choreography, but the males both left at a certain point without Felix knowing.

First Hyunjin left after getting a phone call, leaving Felix and Minho confused. After, when Felix quickly went to the bathroom, he returned to an empty practice room.

So when Felix finally reached the dorms—he wasn't in the best shape. He had forced himself into his headspace after a certain encounter with a few of the people from another group, and was now nowhere near happy.

He stumbled in the dorm and immediately leaned against the wall, his sobs loud and broken. He didn't have the energy to try and be quiet—go to the bathroom to turn on the shower and mute his cries, forcing himself to stop, or even getting to his bedroom—he had to let the emotions out some way.

Seungmin was first to notice the boy, quickly getting by his side to ask what had happened. Felix flinched away and shook his head, only crying out louder when he couldn't formulate proper words.

Only when Jisung came to the rescue with his well known mommy skills, Felix managed to sink in his embrace without a worry.

"Love, can you tell mommy what happened? Please?"

"M-mno... Can't. T-they'll hurt Lixie if Lixie say." The little sobbed, shaking his head. Jisung sighed and kissed his cheek, gently cupping his face to make him look up. "No one will hurt you. Who said they would, baby? Mommy will go and make sure they won't ever touch you again, okay? Can you please tell me?" The man calmly said, getting a soft nod in response.

"T-the—the hyungies from mama." Felix sniffled, glancing at Minho. He hid his face back in Jisung's neck and whined, before another cry left his trembling lips. "Wait—you... That can't be, they called me from practice because they said it was important. They knew Felix was alone and..."

"Did they actually need you for something important?" Jisung frowned, looking up. Minho ran a hand through his hair and cursed, shaking his head. "No—no I mean... They called me back when I was too far from the company to even go back. Do you really think they...?"

"What did those hyungies do, sweet baby? Can you tell mommy that?" Jisung asked, turning back to Felix. The boy sniffled against his chest and looked up, pouting softly. "They hurt Lixie... 'n don't like it. They wanna touch Lixie on bad parts." The little said, looking down at his lap.

"Okay... You're such a good boy for telling me, baby. Is that why Lixie has been feeling a bit sad the last few weeks?" Jisung asked, gently brushing the little's hair back. Felix nodded with a broken hum and sniffled again, wiping his eyes.

"The hyungies won't hurt Lixie no more?"

"No baby, they won't. Mama is going to make sure they don't come near you again. Let's take a bath and go to bed, okay? It's late." Jisung smiled, picking Felix up from the ground. He carried the male upstairs and got into the bathroom, reaching to undress the boy before Felix stopped him.

"Lixie don't really look pretty 'cuz they hurt Lixie lots..."

"Lixie is beautiful, baby. We shouldn't let the things bad people did change our minds, okay? Mommy will treat all the bad things they did to Lixie, and make sure my sweet baby doesn't feel pain. Okidoki?"

"Okidoki. Thank you, mommy."

"You're very, very welcome, sweet baby."
