RUNAWAY • Qian Kun

•29•

Lucas was speechless never in a million years could he have imagined you being hugged by an enemy.

But especially not Kun.

Even when you started dating Ten, he wasn't as bothered. He would be lying if he didn't mention the fact that he did try to force Ten to break up with you multiple times.

Lucas wouldn't consider himself the best brother. He wouldn't even say he's an okay brother. He always pushed you away, and kept you from doing things you wanted.

He hid you away from things that weren't important. He did things that were unreasonable.

He knew he wasn't the best, he could acknowledge that for himself.

He should have stayed and watched what happened, but he left instead. He always tried to give you personal space even though he didn't always, but this time he did.

His vision was still blurry and he didn't know where he was.

He ran his hand through his hair only to have it covered in blood. He put his hand in again this time flinching as he felt a sting.

Taeyong attempted to search for anything in the room filled with debris.

Though the room was a mess, by looking around he could tell he was still in their house. He spotted weapons surrounded on the floor. All of them empty and had no use.  But behind a gun he saw a watch. The watch that belonged to Yangyang.

He reached out and grabbed onto the watch. It's screen was cracked, and it wouldn't turn on either.

He looked around to see if he could find his phone he lost before he had passed out.

It wouldn't take a genius to know he wouldn't get much from staying in the same spot so instead he attempted to stand up.

He didn't think he had any major injuries other than the one he had on his head. He wouldn't be risking much or at least he hoped.

He limped slightly using the wall for support as he made out into the hallway in search of his phone or any phone at that matter.

He spotted bodies and weapons, but no phone or any of his members. He didn't believe he could've been too late. They couldn't have taken his members or he would be gone too, but it was a possibility and he was fully aware.

The house was almost completely destroyed, lights flickering on and off, and the stairs were almost broken apart.

If he had any hope of making contact with any members he needed to make it to the weapon room if it was still there at least.

He used the railings of the stairs to support his weak body that was barely hanging on and he went down slowly avoiding anything and everything.

He reached the weapon room, it was mostly empty. There were some guns left on the floor and cases that should be filled with bombs.

There wasn't any of the computers. All of Jaehyun's equipment had disappeared. All the earpieces, bug mics, cameras, and burner phones were gone.

With the electricity shut down all the secret departments were open losing all of the other valuable weapons.

And if all the weapons were gone it must have meant Eunwoo was too.

The basement would have unlocked automatically once the power was lost. Meaning all the work he did to capture Eunwoo had gone to waste.

He went threw all the departments and shelves looking for anything he could use.

He looked for the backup radio meant for any emergency situation, but unlike the other items it was destroyed.

He checked the cases allegedly filled with bombs only to be empty and even the hidden guns underneath the shelves were gone too.

Taeyong was hopeless, he was trapped inside his own home and alone.

Supposedly

"They're not here for Eunwoo"

"What do you mean? Why else would they be here?"

Yangyang stayed by Taeyong's side, covering each other as much as they could.

Yangyang didn't really understand how they got in this situation, but he knew for sure that they weren't there for Eunwoo.

"Why would they be? Eunwoo is fully capable of escaping on his own, I think they're here for something else or someone else" Yangyang explained.

He wasn't clear on their motive, but he had seen enough action movies to know that those people were there for something else. Whomever those people were, they didn't have any intentions to find Eunwoo, but probably kill them instead.

Yangyang made sure he didn't see anyone around before turning back to look at Taeyong.

"You go to the bathroom and I'll cover you. If you check in the underside of the cabinet you'll find some extra ammo"

Taeyong nodded slipping behind Yangyang, and moving to the bathroom quickly.

He went towards the sink and searched underneath in the cabinet. He pulled out the ammo that was attached with tape and loaded it into his own gun.

He grabbed more ammo to take back to Yangyang. He placed some in his pockets and was ready to go back.

But before he knew anything he heard a gunshot. Knowing it couldn't be from Yangyang who's gun had been empty for a while now, he now worried what could've possibly been shot.

He went back to where he left Yangyang, only to find his watch. He picked up the watch observing it, forgetting to stay focus and aware of his surroundings.

Taeyong's small mistake didn't go unnoticed and before he knew it he was knocked out cold. He slowly lost his consciousness not being able to see who hit him.

The watch slipped out of Taeyong's hand falling onto the floor nearby his body.

Ten put down the bat and picked up the ammo from Taeyong's pocket and took the gun away from his hand.

Before he left he stepped on the watch and kicking it away from Taeyong.

"I'm sorry Taeyong, you should've done something when you had the chance"
