Wooyoung groaned as he shivered. He was so cold... Why was he so cold? He went to reach for the blanket he and Jongho shared, but he couldn't move his hands.

His eyes flew open and he looked around.

He was in a stone cave. A single torch provided him with light, but there was no sign of the entrance.

As his senses came back to him, he was hit with everything that had happened to him...

Calypso had found him. And she had used San. And now he was her prisoner... How could this have happened?

Wooyoung tried to move again, but he realized his hands were tied above his head, attached to a hook in the wall. He was also gagged. But that didn't stop him from crying out for help.

He wanted Jongho so bad... His eyes stung as tears started to form.

Then he heard the sound of fabric rustling and he looked up to see Calypso walking toward him. She had a vial in her hands.

"Hello my pet." She purred, walking over to him. "You look thirsty." Crouching down, she ran her hand up his leg, over his thigh, then massaged his groin for several minutes while pulling the gag aside and kissing him.

Wooyoung whimpered and tried to pull away, but she was pinning him to the wall so there was no were to go. He shuddered beneath her.

"Don't cry." Calypso whispered, kissing the tears off his cheeks. "Soon it won't hurt. Soon you will be mine."

She uncorked the vial and grabbed his jaw, prying it open so he could swallow the deep purple liquid inside it. She forced his mouth and nose closed so he had no choice.

It actually tasted... Sweet. So it wasn't unpleasant to swallow. But he would have loved to spit it in her face.

"That's it." She said, kissing his lips again before she released him. "Such a mystery how you have captivated me... Never before have I been like this." Calypso smiled and replaced the gag. "But don't worry, you will worship me soon. As soon as I get enough of this potion in you, you'll be mine for an eternity."

Jongho buried his face deeper into his pillow. He didn't want to get. He didn't think he could face another day without Wooyoung at his side.

His hand slide across the bed to where Wooyoung slept... Empty and cold.

He whimpered as he tried to fight back a new wave of tears. How he still managed to produce some, he didn't know.

This pain... it was worse than when his parents left him.

It had been almost two months... Two months... And they weren't any closer to finding him.

Jongho was out every day, going over section by section, cutting down trees and other foliage that got in his way to mark a path.

Some people would come out to help him, but the fields still needed to be tended to, so more people focused on those than helping him.

The person who helped him the most was San. He came out for a few hours every day while Yeosang was napping to help him look.

But Yeosang was due to give birth any time now, so San never stayed for long. Jongho couldn't blame him. He needed to be there for his baby.

Slowly, he pushed himself out of bed and went to go get dressed. He was so sore. But he couldn't let that stop him. He would go to the forest every day if he had to. He wouldn't stop until he found Wooyoung. Never stop...

This wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to come home to Wooyoung and do something nice for him and the ask him to be united under Aurora. The old world called it marriage. That's what he wanted with Wooyoung. To show him that no matter what his past was, or what he was going through right now, he wanted to be with him forever. Wooyoung had showed him what it meant to love, and he wanted to give that feeling back to him.

As he made his way to the next section of forest, he thought about how Yeosang's mother had said she could kill Calypso. Supposedly she was swimming home to go and find some magical weapon that could kill her, but Jongho didn't understand why it was taking so long.

Who knows what was happening to Wooyoung now...

No.

He couldn't think about that. It just made it worse.

So he started to chop down everything in his path.

After a few hours, Yunho came behind him bringing his lunch and a bucket of water. Someone brought it to him every day to make sure he ate after we went almost a week without eating properly. It was an unspoken agreement... No one had the heart to tell him to stop looking.

Yeosang's mom was adamant that they had not left the island, but there were only so many places they could hide...

He sat with Yunho while they ate, neither one of them spoke. It was a comfortable silence, although Jongho could feel Yunho watching him. He knew everyone was waiting for him to just snap. If only they knew how close he really was.

Jongho stared ahead of him, not really focusing on anything as he chewed through the sandwich.

"We might need you to go on a supply run soon." Yunho said quietly, causing Jongho to nearly choke.

"You're kidding, right?" He growled.

"No... With both Yeosang and Seonghwa being close to giving birth I'm needed here. And neither San nor Hongjoong want to leave them... but we are getting low. Mingi said he would go to the closest ocean city so the trip wouldn't be as long..."

"But... Who will keep looking for Wooyoung?" Jongho asked, close to tears.

He couldn't go now... He couldn't...

"I will. Until I am actually needed I promise I will keep up your pattern. And I know San comes to help too. I bet Hongjoong will cover as well. They will take shifts. None of us are going to give up on him. There's just a lot going on right now..." Yunho reached out and placed a hand on Jongho's shoulder.

The younger just sighed and nodded before he returned to his search. He would get as much done as he could before he was forced to go.

He would never give up until he found Wooyoung again.
