"Fucking hell, you do this one more time, and you are gone." You heard a female voice warn.
"I never did anything." A male voice growled, it was deep and soft, just like Jaehyun's.
"Be quiet, she's gonna wake up and you don't want that." The female spoke in a quiet voice.
You fluttered your eyes open, closing them back again at hearing the conversation nearby, not wanting to alarm anyone further.
"I swear I didn't do anything." The one you recognized as Jaehyun whispered, his voice hoarse and deep, something he always did when he was angry.
"Oh my, they got him too." You thought to yourself. It was rather quiet, besides the two people arguing and the squeaking of a chair. You heard footsteps coming your way, which you assumed was the female since her heels made a clicking sound whenever she walked.
You quickly shut your eyes, pretending to be asleep as you heard her walk past you.
"She seems to be asleep still, weird." You heard her mumble before she walked away.
You let out a breath you weren't aware you were holding. On the corner of your eye, you saw the girl walk, her long blonde hair peeking through the back of her head as a mask covered her face. She was the murderer, perhaps?
Her red long heels echoed through the room, muttering some incoherent noises every once in a while. You heard the awful noise of a chair creaking, again, making you squirm in discomfort.
"Jeong Jaehyun, I swear to God if you make one more sound with that chair." The girl screamed, making you flinch.
The room seemed to be empty and big, causing her voice to echo through the room and resonate in your ears. Even though the sounds you could hear were very few, it was too loud and causing your head to hurt.
"She's more likely gonna wake up to you screaming rather than me moving a chair." He scoffed.
The girl gasped at the man's feistiness. You heard a few incoherent swears before you heard her completely disappear from the room. You kept your eyes shut, feeling a presence nearby.
"You can open your eyes, she's gone," Jaehyun said, but you declined.
"I'd rather stay blind than look at you." You replied, refusing to accept his help after what he had done. Maybe you were being petty, but you weren't going to give in to his antics.
"Y/N, I know you probably hate me, but trust me, did I ever want to purposely hurt you?" He asked as you let out a laugh, turning around to face him, finally opening your eyes.
"Are you kidding me?" You scoffed, not believing the words that were coming out of his mouth.
"Fine, I'm sorry, but please trust me on this one." He said. "I know how to get us out of here, but I need your help."
You widen your eyes in shock, staring at the man who was tied up to a chair, duct tape tightly wrapped around his hands and feet.
"What? Are you going to use me as bait or?" You questioned, eyeing him up and down.
"No, I swear, I know how to get out but I'm tied up." He said as you sighed.
"Jaehyun, I don't know if I can trust you. How can I know you're not trying to lure me?" You asked as he shook his head.
"I swear I'm not, you know how much of a bad liar I am. I promise I'll get us out." He begged as you sighed.
"Jaehyun, I swear if you betray me once more, I'm gonna rip your head and feed it to a stray cat." You threatened, dusting your clothes and standing up to help him.
"I won't, I promise." He said as you started ripping off the tape from his skin.
"Ouch," He yelped, trying his best to seal his lips.
"Shut the fuck up, they're gonna hear us." You shushed, freeing him from the chair.
"I know. I've been here for longer, I know how it goes." He whispered.
"If I'm not wrong, in a few hours they'll be gone." He said. "There are no guards during the night."
"What the- how do you know all of that?" You asked as he shrugged.
"Observation. And also because they are a small gang, the guards are also part of it and they go on missions too." He said.
"So, in just a couple more hours, we'll be free to go through the door. We'll just need the keys." He plotted as you sighed.
"How are we supposed to get the damn keys, Jeffrey?" You asked. "Do you know where they are too? Is this really that easy to figure out?"
"Not really, they are very silent and dangerous as you see. The only keys I've managed to see are ones each member of the gang has." He explained.
"And? What's your plan? Stealing them?" You asked as he shook his head.
"Already on it." He mumbled, taking out the dangling object from his pocket.
A/N: We're more than halfway through the story what- 😩
QOTD: Anyways, what are your theories so far?
