Chapter 6

• *
• Hosun opened the greasy door at the back of the club, planning to go home.
• Immediately after he stepped out, he was shocked to see a masked man at the entrance of the alley, pointing a gun and shooting in a straight direction. The gun made no sounds. Hosun gasped and rushed back inside, shutting the door and feeling his heart threatening to burst.
• 'Oh, my gawd! What's happening?! Who was that man trying to shoot?? He wasn't pointing the gun at me, meaning there was someone else back there.'
• *
• The first bullet had hit the huge trash bin by which Yoonjin stood, causing him to immediately realize what was happening. He ducked and rushed to hide behind the bin. However, the shooter got his leg and Yoonjin collapsed in pain behind the bin.
• He fetched his gun and then removed his tie, tying his bleeding leg with it to stop the excessive bleeding. He clutched his gun, knowing the assassin would come to kill him behind the bin.
• The killer indeed had planned that but had changed his mind when he spotted a young man rushing back into the club from a door. He realized this person had probably seen him and would go call for help and so he left Yoonjin there and fled.
• *
• Hosun left the bar again and rushed to see who it was the shooter was trying to kill.
• 'I'm crazy for coming out here again! What the hell??'
• He thought, yet his curiousness was stronger.
• He went to the huge bin and checked behind. He was shocked to find a weak and bleeding Min Yoonjin.
• "You?" he was shocked and knelt close to the man. Hosun was confused about what to do. He had no idea.
• Yoonjin raised his head and was surprised to see the boy. He frowned.
• "You- you. So you've been following me... You did- this." Yoonjin growled weakly, slowly raising his gun. Hosun panicked.
• "What?? No!" Hosun seized his gun, "I-"
• He was hit at the back of the head by Chanyeol and immediately collapsed.
• "Boss!" the bodyguard was shocked.
• "Get me out of here, Chanyeol. He shot me. I think he was sent. D- don't kill him. I have questions to ask him..." Yoonjin said as Chanyeol helped him up.
• Chanyeol flung Hosun over his shoulder and helped Yoonjin walk at the same time.
• And just like that, Hosun was also kidnapped that same night.
• *.*.*.*
• Writer's POV:
• Yoonjin and Namgyu had brought separate cars to the Cherry Bomb that night because though they lived together in a huge mansion (their choice), Yoonjin had planned to travel to Busan for business.
• However, the attack on them forced them to change their plans.
• Both men were driven to the central hospital where they were taken in privately and through the back door so that no one would see them. They were known by all of Seoul and anybody could recognize them easily. They didn't want some rumors about them, especially since Namgyu was going to participate in the upcoming elections to become mayor of the city.
• Dr. Kyunsoo immediately took them under his care and it was through him that Yoonjin discovered that Namgyu had been shot as well and was unconscious.
• Both men were immediately the hospital's priority. The bullets were taken out and their wounds were treated.
• The doctor told them they needed at least a week's rest and more for the wounds to heal. Yoonjin refused to stay in the hospital for that long.
• "Please spend the night then, so I can observe both of you. But once you are released tomorrow, make sure to go home and remain in bed. Have your men take care of you. You mustn't work or engage in any physical activity just yet. You'll have to come back for a regular check-up until you are fine."
• "No need. We'll have you brought to our mansion."
• "Uh, okay then. Just do what I've asked you and everything will be fine."
• Yoonjin lay down again and was allowed to rest.
• Meanwhile
• Seokjun and Hosun, both still unconscious were driven to the private property of both businessmen.
• The boys were taken to the underground garage of the huge house where they were handcuffed to an iron pole in a big and cold room that was filled with car products and necessities.
• Their ankles too were tied.
• *.*
• The next morning, the businessmen were driven back to their mansion, accompanied by some nurses.
• Namgyu was still unconscious and was taken to his room where the nurses injected and connected him to a glucose water bag and some machines they'd brought along from the hospital. He wasn't going to lack any medication. However, the nurses were surprised they weren't allowed to stay and watch over him.
• Yoonjin was obliged to walk with crutches for a while taking enough rest and staying in his bed until full recovery. The maids and servants in the house were in charge of taking care of both their masters.
• *
• That same morning, Hosun was first to wake up. He was terrified to find himself cuffed to a pole in a cold room. He immediately remembered the previous night.
• "Oh, no. Oh no, no, no, no, no!" he cried, trying to pull on his cuffs.
• There was a slight movement in his vision and that was when he looked up to see that he wasn't alone. A little distance away from him and cuffed along the same horizontal pole was a very handsome young man.
• "Oh, fuck no!" Hosun cried and shook aggressively, trying to free his ankles and wrists at the same time.
• The commotion caused Jun to wake up.
• Instead of finding himself in his bed, he too realized with horror that he was in bondage.
• "What the?!" he panicked, pulling on his wrists.
• "The fuck are you?!" an already hyperventilating Hosun asked, causing Jun to notice him too. Seeing another person in the same situation as him only made Jun panic more.
• "What's happening?? Who are you?!" Jun asked back, his eyes already watering.
• "What is this?! Where are we?!"
• "Do I look like I know?!" Hosun retorted, still trying to break free.
• "This guy was shot and I thought of helping when suddenly I was kidnapped!"
• Hosun's answer caused Jun to remember the events of his night as well.
• "Oh, no..." he muttered. He looked around and stared at the door.
• "HEY! HEEEEY! LET ME GO! THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO KIM NAMGYU!"
• Hosun was busy struggling while Jun continued to call for help.
• Suddenly, the door was kicked open and a frowning and quite intimidated man entered. He was young yet muscular. His biceps and pectorals printed against his tight T-shirt.
• He was being followed by two armed men.
• Hosun and Jun froze.
• "Finally awake, huh? Appearances can be misleading. You both don't look like assassins." the buff guy mused.
• "Assassins?? No!" Jun cried.
• "We're not assassins!"
• "This is a misunderstanding!"
• "Yeah. You had a gun in your hands when you were found close to our boss."
• "It was his gun! He'd tried to shoot me when I'd come to help him!"
• "Yeah, right." he scoffed.
• "I'm serious!"
• The buff guard ignored Hosun and turned to Jun whose eyes were red and watery.
• "You're such a beauty. Too bad you're gonna die with your friend here."
• "I was helping him! I didn't do anything!"
• "Shh!" the guard hushed him with a threatening frown. "I came here to warn both of you to shut the fuck up. While waiting for my bosses to permit me to kill you both, you two stay quiet."
• He ended and they all walked out.
• "Goodbye, world. I'm done with it. My life is over. I should've stayed in school." Hosun shook his head, eyes prickling, and watering.
• "Who– who did you shoot?" Jun asked and Hosun glared at him.
• "I didn't shoot him! It's that guy, Min something. He's rich and an asshole."
• "Min Yoonjin?"
• "I don't know! Leave me alone, I'm gonna die soon!" Hosun began to cry, sinking to the cold floor, arms in the air as his wrists remained restrained.
• 'Namgyu's partner.'
• Seokjun thought.
• 'Oh my gawd, I thought they were normal businessmen! What are they involved in? Why were they shot? Why did that guard speak of getting orders to kill us like it wasn't something new?? What is all this?!'
• Seokjun closed his eyes tight, tears rolling down his cheeks.
• 'Taeho. Oh gawd, he must be worried. And Hansol? He must be confused and worried as well. I need to get out of here. But how?? What have I gotten myself into??'
• He opened his eyes to see the younger male on the other side sobbing his heart out.
• "I'm going to fucking die!" he cried out loud.
• *.*
• Three days. Three good days had passed and nothing. An armed guard would bring the captives food and water from time to time, remove the cuffs so they could eat, and watched them with a gun pointed at them until they were finished and cuffed again.
• During this time, the men above were still healing while the prisoners exchanged names and ages and a little information about each other.
• Hosun got to know how Jun got into this mess and Jun got to know his own story. He discovered the other was a doctor and had a younger brother about his age that was probably worried as hell, on the outside.
• Jun discovered Hosun was a broke, dropout student looking for means to live and who found himself in a popular drinking club to try and get in contact with a few rich men, proposing to strip for them in return for some money.
• The older felt bad for the younger who cried endlessly. He felt bad for himself as well.
• The days seemed long and both had already lost hope of possibly surviving.
• But seeing Hosun cry hurt Jun. Even though he'd just met the guy and in the worst circumstances, he felt the need to act like the big brother he was. Hosun made him think of Taeho.
• Even though he'd lost all hope as well, he continued to be a little positive and tried to comfort Hosun as much as possible.
• "Don't worry, Sunny." he started, using the name Hosun had said his friends called him.
• "Everything will be fine."
