I hastened my pace to catch up with Renjun. His figure just a few meters away from me.

"Wait up!" I called out.

He ignores me and proceeds to walk ahead, striding along the hallway faster than before.

I huff out a groan as I tried to reach him.

"You're a fast walker." I commented sarcastically.

"Stop following me." He scorned at me and opened the door to the garage before slamming the door in my face, not even waiting for me.

I halted my tracks and blink at the door while I try to comprehend his words, "I mean like, if that's what you want, okay." I said hoping he could hear me, "Goodbye! It's nice meeting you." I smiled and waved to no one in particular.

"I'm free?" I asked myself, "But Taeyong.." I trailed, recalling his order earlier.

"Nevermind. This is my chance to escape." I giggled quietly and peep outside the window beside me.

"Huh, a garden." I said nonchalantly. Looking for a way out, I spotted a gate, barely covered by the long vines and leaves of the plants. "Bingo."

I scanned the space around the quiet hallway, clearing the surroundings from any people that can block me from my taste of freedom.

When I finally felt sure that no one's going to pounce on me, I walk quietly towards the entrance that leads to the garden.

I put a hand on the handle and gave a slight push to it.

Click.

This is too easy, I thought as I shake my head, biting back a chuckle from escaping my lips.

I step outside and closed the door behind me carefully. Tiptoeing to the visible gate out to the road, I glance around every few seconds to stay cautious of Renjun or anyone.

After finally reaching it, I rip off all the latching weeds that had overgrown itself on the gate.

"Yes, I'm finally going to escape. And meet mom and dad." I said ceremoniously.

Just as my fingers touch the rusty gate latch, almost instantly a hand covers my mouth.

I screamed out of shock but it came out muffled due to the hand of someone.

"Not so fast." A deep but melodious voice said lowly.

I tried to take a glimpse at the man behind me but his strong grip prevented me from doing so.

"Eyes up front. No peeking." I could feel his smirk as he said his part.

He pulled me back with him to the door that I went through earlier but I resisted. The strong determination to leave this place fuelled my energy to fight back.

I stomp on his toe, making him grunt and loosen his hold on me a little but still not enough for me to break free.

"Don't fight me. You're making this harder on yourself." He reasoned.

Like hell I'm gonna follow you gangsters again, I screamed mentally.

In situations like this, I'm glad I learned those self defence tricks with Johnny and Haechan. Even if Haechan was trying to kill me at that time. Yes, I'm still going to get revenge on him one day.

I jab whoever this person is on his abdomen with my elbow as hard as I can. He yelped in pain and let go off me as he crouch down, holding the part I hurt him.

I was ready to give him a punch on his face but to no avail, he saw through my action and moved aside making me punch on air instead. I fell on the ground as I lost my balance, scraping my hand in the process.

I groaned and turned my body so I could kick this guy in his gut. However, again, I was a second too slow when he pin my hands above my hand on the ground and straddle me, putting pressure on my thigh as he did so.

"No! Get off me!" I closed my eyes as I struggle to wiggle myself out from his hold."The cops are out there, I'll scream!" I threatened him.

"Do it." He whispered, breath fanning my face as we are close to each other.

My eyes flutter open slowly. Alluring irises met mine as I stare at the beautiful face in front of me, dumbstruck.

"I dare you." He said again.

I gaped at the undeniably good looking man hovering me. My words were caught on my throat as if I forgot how to speak at all.

"Fine." I stammered.

I take in a deep breath, ready to scream the air out of my lungs.

"AH!—"

My scream came out more like a squeak as he yet again put a hand onto my mouth.

"Shut up." He snarled.

I scoff through his hand, "You dared me!" I scowled.

He stays silent for a while, using his time to study my eyes. I, on the other hand, look side by side to avoid his stare.

"Stop that." He said softly.

I paused.

We had a little staring contest for a moment before he breaks it, "Your eyes are beautiful." He gave a small grin.

I blush at his compliment but I roll my eyes to not make it so obvious that I actually like it. What's wrong with me?

"It reminds me of someone." He said, there's longing visible in his eyes as he observed me quietly.

I gulp, "Can you let go now? I won't scream." I said, muffling, "And your weight is killing me." I crinkled my eyes, trying to show him that I'm smiling through his hand.

He nodded before giving a peck on his hand that was covering my mouth. My eyes widen at his fluttering action.

He smiled and got up, pulling me together with him.

I continued to gawk at him as he brings me to where I left off before.

"Stay safe, Le— I mean, Heejun." He corrected himself.

I tilt my head, weird. I thought.

He opens the door to the garage and pushes me inside, "Bye." He waved before closing the door.

I nodded awkwardly. I thought back to the scene at the garden and squealed. I touch my burning face, giving a soft slap to believe this is actually real.

Oh wait this is real, I forgot about the kidnapping.

I sigh contently while smiling like a lovesick teenager.

"So are you gonna continue acting like an idiot or do you want a harder slap on that clown face of yours?" A voice suddenly spoke behind me.

I whip my head to the boy leaning onto a car as he deadpanned an expression at me.

"You're still here?" I frowned.

"As if I'm gonna leave you. Not that I care but, I don't want Taeyong to make my ears bleed with a lecture again." He sighed heavily.

He pushed himself up from his leaning position and walk to the other side of the car.

"Get in or, whatever." He rolled his eyes and got into the car, revving the engine on.

I scurried off to the passenger seat and sat comfortably on it.

"Do you know—"

"No."

"I didn't even finish—"

"No."

"Hey!" I shouted, feeling agitated at his manner.

"Stop talking, don't ask me questions and shut up." He sneered.

I sigh in defeat and slump on my seat as I watch the garage door open automatically.

It's gonna be a long ride.
